Moses Is A Hero's Journey Essay

Improved Essays
There must be a strange feeling Moses experiences and I’m sure he probably did feel inadequate to this great task. Many of us would have questioned God in his choice. Look at “Moses as he says that, they will not believe me, nor hearken unto my voice: for they will say, The LORD hath not appeared unto thee. Does this sound like something you may of been through, I have and I’m sure you may of you felt the same way also? Moses is like many of us, caught in our feelings and emotions and leaning on them in a critical time in our life.

“Exodus. 4:1-4 God proves something to Moses on that day as he said unto him, what is that in thine hand? And he said, A rod. And he said, Cast or throw it on the ground. And he threw it on the ground, and it became

And he put forth his hand, and caught it, and it became a rod in his hand. This must be mined blowing to say the least. Are you at this place mentality yet for a supernatural miracle?

The great thing is that Moses like many of us, needed a faith builder. We the Prophets of God, in this generation are like our prophetic forefathers, we have our faith built by our afflictions and life drama and we see that God proves himself in our lives daily. Prophets, God is still asking each one of us this same question, ‘What is in our hands? What will it take to make you believe that I’m your God the source of the supernatural?
Prophets, yes, we have the talents, the abilities, and even if we have material possessions, with a limited knowledge of the Truth, please remember this. All things, that God has put in our hands have been sanctified with the ‘rod’ of God’s authority through the begetting of the Holy Spirit.
This is a life changing principle and we need to embrace. This is something I highly encourage you to never forget. Yes, it is life changing and supernatural. We may feel inadequate at times, and so unworthy of this honor, just as the great Moses did. We know that in our own selves we come far short of his glory, but this worked for Moses and will work for you and me. Let us begin today to embrace it, right

    The Golden Calf Cordelia Achen Once the Israelites leave Egypt in chapter twelve of Exodus, we see many twists and turns in their relationship with God. However, among the more notable actions of the Israelites is the construction of the golden calf, which occurs while Moses sits on the mountain and communes with the Lord. The story is presented in chapter thirty-two of Exodus, and would appear to explain the incident by an intrinsic evil within certain ranks of the Israelites (the Lord going so far as to call them a “stiffnecked people” in Exodus 32.9 ) and incompetence on the part of Aaron. Yet there are problems with this interpretation. Why do the Israelites even elect to build a golden calf?…

    There are many differences between the Exodus described in the Bible and the Exodus shown in the 2007 film The Ten Commandments. From how Moses found out that he was a Hebrew to the one responsible of making the Golden Calf, the stories within the movie accommodate to its audience; the children. In addition to the difference in names for the LORD, the film focuses on portraying Moses and Aaron as exceptional men in the eyes of God, while the Bible has a more bitter, realistic feeling to it. The contrasts between the two stories cause a great effect upon the intended audience that could affect the later generations’ knowledge of Biblical stories. Before continuing, I would like to give some honorable mentions; the Ten Commandments and the Ten…
