Current thinking puts the massive ancient eruption about 1628 B.C. (based on study of an ice core from Greenland--some of the ash from Thera landed on Greenland). That is much too early for the time of Moses.

Anyway I don't think there were enough frogs on Thera to cause the plague of frogs in Egypt.

Thanks, you saved me a lengthy post to say about the same thing!

Amazing how people will strain their larnyx to diminish God’s perfect word.

The "academically accepted" pharaonic chronology is incorrect, according to a number of investigations into the subject that I've read. 1628 BC might indeed be the time of Moses.

By the way, for an excellent examination of the time of the Exodus, I suggest Tempest and Exodus by Ralph Ellis.

The ice core ash in Greenland doesn’t match Thera, it’s probably from Arctic North America.
