There is a Man come into Egypt

I've learned to interpret the Bible metaphysically, or metaphorically, which isn't hard for an English Lit major.
So, swimming in my head, was the idea of interpreting the country's situation from thestandpoint of comparing it to the Hebrew Bible's story of the Exodus. Moses had already preceded the present day Pharaoh in Barack Obama's genuine leadership, representing both a person of color and Caucasian.  Moses' brother Aaron was represented well in Joe Biden.  Image result for Pictures (Cartoons) of Old Testament Egypt

Been wondering why this injustice has gone on so long, so I did some review.  Looks like D.T. could be a modern-day Pharaoh. Image result for Pictures (Cartoons) of Old Testament Egypt

Plague upon plague has come upon the present, suspiciously appointed Pharaoh, in the form of indictments of people under him, even to threats of the first born sons being indicted and such indictments getting uncomfortably close to his own offspring.
Still, the lying Pharaoh digs in his heels, as he tries to push back against the ideals of the former chiefs.  For the goals and ideals are  the same, and people still remember them.
It looks like the people need to ban together, and elect a new Joshua.
It took the Israelites forty years, but forty years, updated metaphorically, could simply mean, a critical period of time, which again means, until we get the job done.
According to the Bible, it took a good long time, so keeping the faith is hard, unwavering, diligent work.
