Grandma Moses

As you go through history you will find many times where people claimed to be a messiah or a godly man and started a movement or religion. In this essay you will find many similarities between Shabbetai Tzvi and Yasho who were both big leaders in their times and to some turned out to be a fraud. Shabbtetai Tzvi, born on August 1, 1626, in Smyrna, Turkey under the Ottoman Empire was very smart man and well learnt in all aspects of the Torah .He claimed that god chose him as the messiah to…

Introduction The Israelites which are God’s chosen people were in bondage for more than 400 hundred years by means of slavery and because of their severe harsh treatment they cried out to the Lord for deliverance, God raised up a deliverer by the name of Moses. They were given a new way of life after their liberation from bondage and in this new way of life, they were given instructions concerning worship, and since God was the one responsible for their deliverance, they were to serve and…

So what was God’s response to Moses and Aaron’s actions taken? 3. Num 20:12 Then the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron, “Because you did not believe Me, to hallow (to sanctify) Me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore you shall not bring this assembly into the land which I have given them.”Moses struck the rock instead of speaking to the rock, as being a case of his unbelief. Moses apparently had a problem with speaking to an inanimate (lifeless or non living) object and expecting…

Joshua, Judges, and Ruth all share the fact of being written by unknown people. Although there are theories and traditions that indicate names, there is ultimately no proof regarding these claims. The time of authorship is vague as well. Joshua was likely first written during the 2nd millennium BC, Judges at least after the mid-11th century BC, and Ruth after 1010 BC (ESV Study Bible). Joshua describes how the titular character leads the Israelites in a campaign to take Canaan. The beginning…

Introduction Before the introduction of Elijah in the book of 1st Kings, we are given a synoptic account of the condition of the Israel’s king, an account which stands in blinding contrast to the instructions of the Lord for a king over Israel: “Ahab son of Omri did evil in the sight of the Lord more than all who were before him [When he has taken the throne of his kingdom, he shall have a copy of this law written for him in the presence of the levitical priests…so that he may learn to fear the…

deliverance of Israel, and the collapse of Society. After Joshua led his people into the promised land he had reminded them to be faithful to God, so that others might know him through them. However, after Joshua’s death many Israelites didn’t keep Moses law or Joshua’s command, and they decided to follow the Canaanite religion. At the beginning of Judges, Joshua had passed away and the people are wondering who is going to lead them in the battle against the Canaanites. The lord appointed…

Where Moses Stood' is the most recent in a progression of books in which Robert Plume has advanced relevant contentions with much supporting proof to influence his perusers that the three awesome western monotheistic religions had their inception in antiquated Egypt amid the rule of Pharaoh Amenhotep IV, 1349-1332 BCE. The Pharaoh rejected the variety of icons set up by his trailblazers and declared the love of one preeminent god, Aton. He changed his name to Akhenaton (hireling of Aton) and…

The book of Micah falls into the genre of the Old Testament minor prophets, men divinely chosen by God to reveal His messages to the people. The first three chapters of the book of Micah are attributed to the prophet Micah himself, however the rest of the book is debated to be compiled of additions and recordings by other prophets to enlarge Micah’s message . The discrepancy comes from the dating of the manuscripts, which chapters four to the end of the book are dated to after deliverance from…

This is not to imply that he is unfair to his people as this story demonstrates God’s righteousness as he delivers the Israelites out of Egypt. Additionally, even after those facing unjust treatment from the Pharaoh and his officials refuted against Moses help and doubted God due to increase of injustice, God remained with the Israelites. “You have brought us into bad odor with Pharaoh and his officials, and have put a sword in their hand to kill us” (Exodus…

How would we, as Christians, live our lives without the Bible? The Bible plays a key aspect in our roles as Christians. Specific Bible stories and topics such as Mt. Sinai, Moses, God’s covenants to us, and the martyrdom of Stephen give us a clear understanding that even though God is not physically present in the world today, He still uses ordinary people to do extraordinary things under His name. The Bible is crucial for us as Christians, for it is a constant reminder that we truly do serve…
