THE HOLY PLOT OF EXODUS

1. WHO PLAYS THE PHARAOH IN OUR CURRENT PERFORMANCE OF THE HOLY PLOT? THE ONE WHO ACTS IN ANTI-NEIGHBORLY, EXPLOITATIVE WAYS AND OPERATES A POLITICAL-ECONOMIC SYSTEM THAT IS ORGANIZED FOR GREEDY ACQUISITIVENESS?
2. WHERE ARE THE CRIES FROM EXHAUSTED LABORERS WHO, IN THEIR EXHAUSTION, BREAK THE SILENCE BECAUSE THEIR BODIES WILL NO LONGER LIE?
3. WHERE IS THE HOLY POWER OF GOD OPERATIVE IN WAYS THAT SUBVERT OR JEOPARDIZE ESTABLISHED POWER IN INTEREST OF THE AGGRIEVED?
4. WHO ARE THE HUMAN AGENTS WHO CARRY HOLY ALTERNATIVES THAT ARE INTENDED BY THE LORD OF EMANCIPATION?
