The Key Episodes That Established Leadership Among Israel

In the midst of the Israelites’ forty-year journey towards the Promise Land of Canaan, Moses records the Israelites’ persistent complaining and rebellion against God. Numbers 21:4-9 first mentions the complaint of the Israelites’ against God and Moses, questioning God’s plan for them, as they travel in the desert without food and water. “We are disgusted with this wretched food,” they say. This wretched food refers to the manna or the “bread from heaven,” as mentioned in Exodus 16:4, that God miraculously provided for the Israelites when food supplies ran out during their forty years of desert wandering. In spite of God’s abundant goodness, they grumbled at Him about their circumstances. In punishment for the Israelites’ doing, the Lord sent

For ages the Jewish population did not have a place to call home. They had been wandering around deserts, were once slaves in Egypt, but didn’t have any land to their name. Following the Holocaust, after many Jews had been persecuted by Hitler and the Nazis, a good portion of the overall amount of Jews in the world let alone Europe had been exterminated. As a result, Harry Truman and the UN suggested Israel, a homeland for the Jews. Tensions had been growing throughout the beginning of the 20th Century regarding the Palestinian area in the Middle East. This area was off to the side of Asia, near Africa. When the Jews and Arabs were offered part of this land, war broke out and still continues today. Even though a war happened as a result

In terms of leadership, Abraham was a noble leader. Although he grew up in a camp where the notion of one God was not accepted, he eventually manages to become the leader of a tribe and make the people believe in his faith. He leads them around endlessly from Ur to Canaan, to Egypt, then back to Canaan. His tribe followed him around without much

The Jewish religion makes Israel’s culture in 722 B.C. - 540 B.C. distinctive. Israel’s religion is important in the fact that it started the Catholic culture. Though most Christians do not do the same things the Jews did back then, the bases for their beliefs and ideas came from the Jews. The Israelites’ way of life was influenced by their religion. They maintained their faith even when they were being exiled. Their work, customs, laws, and other things were all influenced by their Jewish religion. The geography of Southern Israel was also important in the way that the location affected their way of life and work. These folkways and work are important since their religion influenced them. Religion was their structure of life.

“The Zionists came and destroyed a sovereign Palestinian State and then kicked out all of its inhabitants forcing them to be perennial refugees. Just as bad the Zionists then erased all vestiges of this ancient Palestinian State and built their Imperialistic Racist State on the ruins of Palestine. This all happened in 1948 – 1949. There will never peace in the Middle East until the Zionist entity is destroyed and the indigenous Palestinian people are allowed to reestablish their state of

Three Christian groups have collaborated to launch a 13-part original series titled “Why Israel Matters,” which aims to show how important the Jewish state is to America, Christians, and the rest of the world.

when we compare literature of the ancient Near East with the Bible, we will try to recover aspects of the ancient cognitive environment that may help us understand the Israelite perspective a little better (Walton, p.22). He further says that by catching a glimpse of how they thought about themselves and their world, we sometimes discover ways that the Israelites would have thought that differ totally from how we think. He provides a few examples. One that gives me new insight is about building tower of Babel which I presume is about human getting into the heavens. I am surprised to learn that background study allows interpreters to know that the ziggurats of

The Arab Israeli conflict has been occurring since the 1940’s. The United Nations established Israel within Palestine in the late 40’s, under control under the Jews. Israel was located surrounded by four arab nations which led to tension in the Arab and Israelis. They both started to claim the palestinian land and lead to what is know today as the Arab-Israeli conflict.

The Jews went through a lot of difficulties to get to where they are today. They lost their land and had to fight and go through what is called Zionism. Zionism was a movement created by Theodor Herzl and Chaim Weizmann that was set to help get a homeland for the Jews of the world. If the Jews originally had a country of their own they wouldn't of needed to go through everything they did so they could live a better life. The Jews originally had a homeland in Israel but when they lost wars and had to leave, they had no place to call home. So every country they resident in was only a temporary place for them to live. It didn't feel right for them not to live on their land called Israel. If the Jews kept control of their homeland, events such

After World War II, Israel fought to defend its existence, and they benefited from foreign aid. Most of the initial Israeli leaders were immigrants. Hundreds of thousands of immigrants immigrated to Israel, and with this came population growth and a variety of skills in business and manufacturing. Israel soon became one of the most technologically advanced countries in the world. The Middle East region has probably suffered more rivalry and conflict than any other part of the world and in the early 2000's there was an escalation of violence in parts of the Middle East. Past tensions between Palestinians and Israelis fueled wider tensions, which helped engender wider efforts by Islamic terrorists.The Islamic region holds about 60% of the world's

In The Bible on Leadership, author Lorin Woolfe finds ways where leadership can be found in biblical stories, and comments that they form some of the major archetypes of our collective consciousness and can serve as universal examples of leadership at its best and worst. Through her whole book she gives examples of leadership by the main characters in each book, especially Moses in the book of Exodus. The Bible, the book of Exodus is the second book written, right after the book of Genesis, which talks about the creation of the world by God. It’s very interesting that this is the second book, because it shows why Colin Wilson’s statement is flawed. In the beginning of the book, there was the time of the beginning of civilization, and the people in Egypt would worship the Pharaoh, or king. It is said that God would protect a person named Moses, and then he would then be adopted by the Pharaoh’s daughter and be raised in royalty. Then in one of Christianity’s memorable biblical story, God calls Moses with a special revelation, through a burning bush to release His people from slavery. For many years, the people of Egypt suffered under the Pharaoh, and were treated unfairly building statues for him. Moses then would go and tell the Pharaoh the consequences if he does not let God’s people go, but the Pharaoh would not listen to Moses and then the pain came. Moses, through the power of God, would cast all sorts of plagues throughout the land, and also turning all of the water to blood, plagues of insects, boils, and hail. After the last plague, the eldest son of the Pharaoh would have died, and then the Pharaoh allowed the people to leave. One other part of the book of Exodus, was the presentation of the Ten Commandments, which is basically the universal rulebook on how to live under God. If it weren’t for Moses, he

Abram, a pagan gentile called from a pagan land and culture, became the patriarch of the Nation of Israel. Moreover, through God’s covenant with him his numerous descendants inherited Palestine and from them came Messiah, the blessing to all peoples on earth. Understanding the culture of Ur of the Chaldeans, Abram’s place of origin, requires a determination of where this area was located and analyzing archaeological discoveries of that area in conjunction with other disciplines of biblical study.

It begins by explaining conditions in Palestine at the end of World War 2 and the crisis

YHWH is especially jealous of His deity in the hearts of his own people. By virtue of His uniqueness adn sovereignty, all His creatures owe to Him alone their worship, exaltations, and worship, praise and honor. His people should didicate their lives to show the world that YHWH is the one true and living God. As the supremely preeminent adn sovereign El Qanna, He deserves and desires our love, energies, and time. He cannot bear for us to be with another. Whoring after foreign gods and idols and motifs of spiritual infidelity, all that difile a sacred marital covenant relationship, have marred the history of Israel's relationship with

Israel is a small country in southwestern Asia that was founded in 1948 as a sanctuary for Jews from all parts of the world. Israel lies along the eastern coast of the Mediterranean Sea and is bordered by Syria and Lebanon to the north, Egypt to the southwest, and Jordan to the east. Jerusalem is the capitol and the largest city in Israel. It is considered by many faiths to be the holiest city in the world.
