Moses : The Friend Of God

This is the core reason that he ordered all male children under the age of 2 to be slaughtered. This characterization is biblically accurate. The characterization of Miriam, Moses’ sister, is accurate as well. Miriam stayed near the river to keep watch over the basket that held her baby brother both in the Bible story and in the movie. In both stories, it is she who speaks up and offers to find a nurse for the baby. This was a clever way for Moses’ mother to speak truth over him as he grew before he went to live with the royal family.

In Exodus 2:5, the Pharaoh’s daughter disregards the order to kill the baby boys and rescues a baby from the reeds of the Nile. Recognizing he was Hebrew, she decides to raise him as her own, allowing a Hebrew woman to be his wet-nurse by the suggestion of a young Hebrew girl (not knowing they were the baby’s mother and sister). This baby later becomes known as Moses who eventually leads the Israelites to their freedom. In conclusion, the bible demonstrates how the people did not respect the Pharaoh as a leader of the Egyptian kingdom. Raveh (2013) explains:

“Now if you obey me fully and keep my covenant, then out of all my

God’s goodness and mercy far transcends the comprehension of the most brilliant human mind! He “who stoops down to look on the heavens and the earth”(Psalm 113:6).Yet in His infinite love for us He stoops down to reveal Himself to us by a multitude of illustration, types, and shadows, so that we may learn to know him. This paper will describe what is meant by the Kingdom of God; examine the religious philosophy of the various sects of Judaism during the Second Temple period: Pharisee, Sadducees, Essenes, and Zealots, describe the religious philosophy and political philosophy of each sects, it will also describe how the Messianic expectation differ from the Messianic role that Jesus presented, and include an exegesis of

Moses was a leader of the Hebrews and probably the most important figure in Judaism. He led the Hebrew people out of Egypt and into the Promise Land. His story is told in the book of Exodus, and begins when he was first born during the time that the pharaoh of Egypt declared that all male Hebrew babies were to be drowned at birth. Moses’ mother Yocheved, hid Moses and placed him in a basket in the reeds of the Nile River, where he was then found by the pharaoh’s daughter, who kept Moses and raised him as her own. In the story of Moses, he grows up and stumbles upon an Egyptian beating a Hebrew slave. Out of anger Moses murders the Egyptian, and flees to Midian to escape his crime (Hays, 2000). In Midian, Moses rests besides a well,

It is now opinions of many biblical scholars and historians that Moses did not write the first five books also known as the Torah or the Pentateuch of the Old Testament which is also known as the Tanakh. There exists a theory that the original authors consisted five different groups all from various locations in the Kingdom of Israel and the Kingdom of Judah and who contributed to the writing of the Torah over a period of centuries. This theory is what is now known as the Documentary Hypothesis.

There is biblical evidence that the story of exodus did happen. Moses was born of royalty of the Egyptians, that at the time enslaved the Hebrews. His brother Ramses, also royalty, tells Moses that he was born a slave and that he is a Hebrew. Exiled from his hometown, he goes on a journey and meets his wife and nine years later has a son. He gets a message from a burning bush(aka God).

The Law of Moses, or Moses’s Law refers to the first five books of the Hebrew Bible, sometimes call the Pentateuch, or Torah which is a central reference of Judaism. Of the covenants found in the Pentateuch are Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. These books contained the laws and instruction given by the Lord to Moses which establishes Israel as a nation. All five of the books are believed to be written by MosesIntroduction

In Christianity, God exists in a triune nature as the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Through this, the Son, Jesus Christ was born. Jesus was sent as a human to bring the spirit of God down to earth as a savior for humanity. Jesus was soon betrayed by His own people which resulted in His crucifixion. This ultimate sacrifice represented the eternal love God had for His people. The resurrection of Jesus lifted His spirit and allowed humankind to worship Christ, experiencing His glory. Understanding the identity of Jesus is essential to developing a personal relationship with God. The legacy of Christ remains the standard for humankind to live in accordance to. This paper analyzes the life of Jesus Christ and the impact His image had on the human race for the past, present, and future.

Life as it is has really greatly regressed since the age of the Biblical times, until one would wonder if the Word of God still has root in the life of man in this current generation. This essay aims to answer the question, “What is the major theme of Hebrews and does it apply to the individual Christian today?” While looking keenly into the Book of Hebrews, this essay will highlight the major theme of the epistle, and bring into perspective the practicality of the Word of God in the life a Christian today. It will breakdown to detail who a modern-day Christian is, what his life principles are, and lastly, if the theme of Hebrews is applicable with his life today.

The biblical event I chose was the story of Moses. When Moses was born the Hebrew were slaves in Egypt. When pharaoh saw the Hebrews population going up he took the drastic measures to kill every new born Hebrew boy. He sent his soldiers to do so. Moses’ mother hides him for 3 months without them finding him but she knew it wouldn’t be long before they killed Moses so she had to make a plan. She decided to put Moses into a basket and send him down the river. She sent her daughter to watch the basket as it went down the river. Moses ended up in the pharaoh’s daughter’s hands. Her daughter told pharaohs daughter that she knew a lady that could be Moses’ nurse from then on Moses’ real mom would be his nurse as he grew up. She took Moses to the

One of the differences in the ideas of ministry and mission between Paul and the Church of Jerusalem were based on the need for all new converts into the Jewish-Christian denomination to be circumcised to keep with the “Laws of Moses” (Harris, 2015, p. 297). Jewish Christians insisted on this procedure to be carried out before any foreign members could participate in their religious traditions and sacred events, such as Passover. Other requirements that adhered to the Torah for new converts included abstaining from sexual contact, prohibiting the consumption of blood, or of any animals that had not been drained of blood correctly, and to eat the flesh of any animals that were sacrificed to other unknown gods (Harris, 2015, p. 298). These laws

The Bible and its history are highly connected as we study the work of God throughout the Old Testament. The Old Testament and the human history reflected the perfect plan of God for humanity. Likewise, the New Testament; therefore, serves as an inevitable evidence of God’s grace. Though the voice of prophets was absent during the Second Temple period as it was described as the “silent years,” the work of God was still continued among His people. The LORD revealed Himself throughout the time in different discourses.

Heroes are people that have special power, strengths, and they have a call to complete special missions or tasks. They have a special journey where they start from the bottom, which is their ordinary world, and choose to be the special hero. They might face different challenges, but they will be successful at the end. Moses, for the Christians, fits the category of the hero because he saved the Israelites from the Egyptians. The story of Moses is a good personification of the hero myth because it incorporates the elements of his special beginning, his call to action, and his magical weapon.
