All three of these men were involved in designing numerous landmarks, highways, bridges, tunnels, and other forms of infrastructure that today we take for granted.

Moses was next to have a covenant with God, which became known as the Mosaic Covenant. Because of a famine in Canaan, the Israelites moved to the “Land of the Pharaohs”, Egypt. Although the Israelites were not great in number yet, they grew tremendously

The religious function of the Exodus story introduces the major characters that play a role in this myth. Moses, a descendant from a long line of Israelites, becomes the main character in determining the fate of the Israelites in Egypt. He first experiences the voice and wisdom of God in the form of a burning bush (Ex. 3:3). While in the physical form of a fire, the Lord instructs Moses to “rescue them (the Israelites) from the hands of the Egyptians and lead them out of that land into a good

With this work we will come to understand the paradox of change and gain a deep understanding of the process of transitions. In using Robert Brumet’s book Finding Yourself in Transition as our guide, we will join with the Israelites of Scripture as they move from an ending, into the void (the wilderness), to a new beginning (the Promised Land). transitions offer the opportunity for a breakthrough

The Ten Commandments, although history says that Moses discovered the stone some time in 1400 B.C., 300 years after, it has been said that these commandments were known about since the beginning of time from a Higher Power. Moses was a former Egyptian prince and later became a Prophet. The bible quotes Moses as one of the greatest Prophets of history.

Some of these stories seem to encourage not only the slaughtering of enemy armies, but also the murder of innocent civilians including the elderly, women, children and livestock. The book of Joshua has a multiple of narratives that tell of such events. In chapters six through eleven, God instructs Joshua

Harriet Tubman, the “Moses”, of her time. She was a strong, brave, and courageous woman, whom affected slave history for years to come. The actions she partook in resulted in some consequences, but then turned into positive outcomes. Harriet was born in Araminta Ross, Maryland. Little did people know Harriet would change history forever. Her accomplishments set a stage for others coming behind her. She provided a path to freedom for slaves who could no longer help themselves. She had a sense of religious

Noah. Moses. Joshua. Esther. What might all these people share in common? All were heroes in the light of the biblical understanding of the term, heroism. Matthew 20:28 says, “Just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” (NIV).
