The first act was phenomenal, but the second made my jaw hit the floor! What in the name of all things biblical was that?!
First of all, Moses feels burdened and guilty for the plagues - singing a song about having to live with the consequence of what HE (not God) has done!! They completely removed how the plagues showed God's majesty over the Egyptian gods' powerlessness. In fact, Moses was ready to go back to Egypt to help Rameses "get the priests in line." WHAT?!
Then, Moses "prophecies" over Pharaoh (who survives), declaring that he will "build the greatest empire on earth without slaves" while "we Hebrews will have our little kingdom by the sea." Lord, help us!
