If you look at the opinions expressed in Jesus and the Essenes, Chapter 15: Moses and Ezekiel, on page 174, you can instantly see that the things that Moses said would happen in Egypt could very easily have happened, and as a result of a single event.
It’s suggested Moses knew there would be a volcanic eruption, and that the other things that happened were all knock on effects.
A volcanic eruption would normally turn the sky dark.
It could have resulted in hailstones mixed with fire. This has happened, says the book.
It could easily have put soil and sulphur in the water, turned it red and made it stink.
Naturally, animals that could climb out would, and that would explain the plague of frogs.
These were heaped up, and their rotting bodies would explain the plague of flies.
The dead frogs could also have attracted rats, which carry lice and flees, and in turn, bring boils and plague.
The Israelites were in a separate enclave, and effectively quarantined. There’s another suggestion that they used certain herbs to deter the rats.
The locusts were simply brought in and taken away again by winds, which could also have been a result of unusual circumstances like a volcano.
So you can see that with a little knowledge and common sense, it was possible to predict certain problems, and possibly to be ready for them.
It seems the Essenes were keepers of old knowledge, as well as old ways, and that they knew about a cycle the Earth goes through that would naturally cause chaos.
They somehow knew about a natural event that modern scientists only discovered fairly recently. Some ancient cultures had knowledge like this, with detail that they just shouldn’t have had. Yet they did.
This most likely includes the Mayans, whose Prophecies say the calendar will be reset, around December 2012. However, one source on the Internet suggests that December 2012 in the Mayan calendar was December 2007 in the current western calendar.
A point which needs to be checked, as this may have been the start of something.
(The next part of this post highlights traces of alternative meanings in words, which is a feature of the original language, Adamic. The dead frogs could have attracted rats and lice, which carry plague, which in turn causes coughing, coughin’ or coffin, dizzies, and causes people to become diseased, deceased and their lives to desist.)
The main point of this post is that those in old cultures genuinely had a good idea of the kind of thing that can be expected, and when.
