The Temple of Yahshuah Preface to the Introduction Below.

The introduction below outlines the original views of the first, earliest, most eminent and renowned Egyptologist of all times.  Concerning there direct opinions, there findings and conclusions in regards to the Ancient Egyptian’s Concept & Idea of God. Although as will be seen, the view outlined below that was the foundation belief upon-which the whole study of Egyptology was built and should have developed.  Nevertheless this has not been the case, but to the contrary and what we find is that modern Egyptology, seldom if ever give any credence, mention or reference these or this fundamental foundational belief of its accepted discipline founders and their greatest scholars.  But have chosen and it could be said done there utmost best with great success, to present a totally opposing view, of the Ancient Egyptian Concept of God. That today dominates the minds and thoughts of 99.9 % of people, when thinking about Egypt.

Luckily, the website designer, Imani Yahshuah represents the 00.1 %, as he was fortunate, by the Grace & Mercy of Yahovayah and through HIS Guidance, to have discovered this Creed at the beginning of his own journey and search into the Truth over 25 years ago, in a local library. From this time on it has been the foundation of not only his understanding of the ancient Egyptian view of God, but from that day forward, has been his Own Unshakable View of God & Also Christ that he offers here, through The Temple of Yahshuah to help others build there own Temples.

Taken from the Egyptian Book of the Dead,
Papyrus of Ani (1895) by; E. A. Wallis Budge.

What was the Egyptian Name of God?

Budge: To the great and supreme power which made the earth, the heavens, the sea, the sky, men and women, animals, birds, and creeping things, all that is and all that shall be, the Egyptians gave the name Neter. The fact that the Coptic translators of the Bible used the word Nouti to express the name of the Supreme Being shows that no other word conveyed to their minds their conception of Him. pg lxxxii

Budge continues in his introduction to his Translation to outline the then accepted view by Egyptology of how the Ancient Egyptian viewed the God they referred to as Neter and the Neteru (God’s)

What about the Neteru; Who & what were they? 

Budge: Thus we see that even to the great god Ra were attributed all the weakness and frailty of mortal man; and that “gods” and “goddesses” were classed with beasts and reptiles, which could die and perish. As a result, it seems that the word “God” should be reserved to express the name of the Creator of the Universe, and that neteru, usually rendered “gods,” should be translated by some other word, but what that word should be it is almost impossible to say.

(As seen above the whole concept of the many God’s of Egypt is a total misnomer, misconcept and very damaging to how people view the religion of the Egyptians.  Today the term Deity would suffice but is seldom engaged, by mainstream Egyptologist, who continue to propagate the God’s of Egypt theory.) 

The Egyptians Idea of God (Neter)?

Budge: “From the attributes of God set forth in Egyptian texts of all periods, Dr. Brugsch, de Rougé, and other eminent Egyptologists have come to the opinion that the dwellers in the Nile valley, from the earliest times, knew and worshipped one God, nameless, incomprehensible, and eternal.

In 1860 de Rougé wrote:–“The unity of a supreme and self-existent being, his eternity, his almightiness, and external reproduction thereby as God; the attributing of the creation of the world and of all living beings to this supreme God; the immortality of the soul, completed by the dogma of punishments and rewards: such is the sublime and persistent base which, notwithstanding all deviations and all mythological embellishments, must secure for the beliefs of the ancient Egyptians a most honourable place among the religions of antiquity.

“Nine years later he developed this view, and discussed the difficulty of reconciling the belief in the unity of God with the polytheism which existed in Egypt from the earliest times, and he repeated his conviction that the Egyptians believed in a self-existent God who was One Being, who had created man, and who had endowed him with an immortal soul.

In fact, de Rougé amplifies what Champollion-Figeac (relying upon his brother’s information) wrote in 1839:

“The Egyptian religion is a pure monotheism, which manifested itself externally by a symbolic polytheism.”

M. Pierret adopts the view that the texts show us that the Egyptians believed in One infinite and eternal God who was without a second, and he repeats Champollion’s dictum.

But the most recent supporter of the monotheistic theory is Dr. Brugsch, who has collected a number of striking passages from the texts. From these passages we may select the following:– {p. xci – p. xcii},

The Nile Valley Creed below, are the selected passages.
