Unfortunately, due to the fact that they were out of immediate danger Jethro assumed Moses would be glad to have his wife and children restored to him.…

    Of all the great events in Moses’ life, there is one time period that is probably the most important—his time in Midian. Moses had grown up in the palaces of Egypt from a young age. He knew what it was to have much, and it was probably an extremely good life. Egypt was never known for being the poorest among nations in history, so it stands to reason that Moses, who was adopted into the royal family, had much. However, one simple act brought about a huge change in Moses’ life.…

    The stories of Jesus are represented through the four New Testament Gospels: Mark, Matthew, Luke, and John. Each Gospel emphasizes on particular principles that represent Jesus differently. Jesus is seen as the suffering Messiah in all four Gospels, but each Evangelist puts in his own intake, hence expanding on the original Markan portrait of Jesus. The writers of the Gospels give their own theological assertions, and understandings, which in effect creates a new portrait of Jesus for each Gospel. The Gospel portraits vary and represent a different and evolving view of Jesus’, stories, and traditions over time.…

    Pharaoh was terrified of the Hebrew man who was destined by God to rise up, free the Israelites, and defeat him. His fear was apparent through his actions. “Pharaoh charged all his people saying, ‘every boy that is born you shall throw into the Nile, but let every girl live’” His decree sets God’s plan in motion. In taking into account Sarna’s scrutiny “that the mother deliberately selected the spot after observing the character and habits of this particular princess” we see the purpose of the story of Moses.…
