Bradley's faith promoting book continues to fantasize in such wild proportion that it becomes abundantly clear that this book is written by a faithful Latter-day Saint for other faithful Latter-day Saints who love to create fantasies and parallels in order to make something true in their own deluded minds. We are given the following bullets in which the Passover is a kind of deliverance that God does time and time or "again and again, Passover has been a time at which God delivers his people." Beginning with Moses who instituted the first Passover, to Christ who is the ultimate Passover, and finally to Joseph Smith celebrating a modern kind of Passover on April 3rd in the Kirtland Temple.
And there you have a Tic-Tac-Toe -- three Moses's in a row! Passover repeated three times!
Bradley offers more silly parallels in order to enrich the content of his book by inventing bogus THEMES in which to compare the Exodus of Moses with Lehi's exodus -- and needless to say, there is really no comparison. But leave it to Bradley to find some, as ridiculous as they are it seems that Lehi and Nephi was reenacting the original Passover in their own lives.
The pillar of fire brought down by Moses to stop the Egyptians echo again in Lehi who saw a pillar of fire dwell upon a rock.
Score 1!
The valuable possessions that Moses plundered from the Egyptians is reversed in narrative in how Lehi who instead of taking his valuable possessions, opted to leave them behind.
Score 2!
Moses and Lehi both went down towards the Red Sea.
Score 3!
"Lehi's exodus both recapitulates and reverses the biblical Exodus and the setting for the original Passover. With Lehi as their Moses, his family traveled away from the biblical Promised land rather than towards it."
Score 4!
And to top it off, Bradley relates how Moses convinced Pharaoh to allow the Israelites to take the bones of Joseph into the wilderness as a type or, "mirroring this, Lehi's sons sought to bargain with Laban to allow them to take the brass plates into the wilderness" but negotiations failed and Laban perished even as Pharaoh and his armies perished in the Red Sea.
Score 5!
Folks, I'm not making this BS up! Don Bradley is! It is that bad!
