Moses told to the Hebrews to paint the blood of the lamb on the doorframe. By the blood of the lamb, the angel of death would just pass the house at night. This is the beginning of Passover. Passover festival is a day to celebrate that won freedom from oppression…

As a spokesman for God, one of the prophet’s primary duties were to speak God’s message to the people. Isaiah and Daniel both would come into influencing different nations and teaching the people about God. Isaiah would impact Israel, becomes a politician, and would even go to die for his beliefs. Daniel would be captured by the Babylon army, and would later be thrown in a lion’s den for refusing to pray to another god. Isaiah and Daniel would influence nations, see visions, and being willing to…

Crystal Avina Books of Moses Professor Christine Vetne February 17, 2017 Exodus The Book of Exodus, similar to the book of Genesis, presents claims that suggest the author is Moses. Events which support such claims of Mosaic authorship include Moses writing down the Ten Commandments, recording Israel’s victory over Amalek, and noting the covenant. The book of Exodus is believed to span over roughly 80-81 years from 1526 B.C, to about 1445 B.C. The book is commonly divided into two main parts:…

Chapter 3 begins with the story of Moses and the burning bush (Exodus 3:1-14). In revealing His mysterious name, YHWH (I AM WHO I AM), God says who He is and by what name He is to be called. This divine name is mysterious just as God is mystery. One of these is that since God is Being, He upholds and sustains all of creation and all creatures in being, enables them to act and brings them to their final end. Father Barron considers Anselm's "Ontological Argument", his description of God as that…

Judges 17 opens with a story of the questionable nature of Micah’s ethics as the author immediately introduces Micah as the one whom stole his mother’s silver. For that matter, all characters in the story have morality issues. “The narrator presents only undesirable characters, whose words and deeds complement each other.” Micah steals the silver, his mother allows the returned silver to be formed into an idol, and the Levite accepts Micah’s worship practices of the LORD and idols. The…

Raissa Silva Pr. Niño October 20, 2014 The Sanctuary: The Table of Shewbread The more we study the sanctuary God told the Israelites to build, the more we understand God's plan for the salvation of humanity. The table of shewbread was a very important piece of furniture within the Holy Place. Everything about its purpose and function has a spiritual application. The table of shewbread's purpose was to hold twelve loaves of bread. The twelve loaves were to be placed in two rows of six, each…

Artifact Report The Exodus is an important event, not just as a historical view, but for a religious one as well. For something as significant as it is, there is very little evidence to support the claim; which is referenced in the bible. An event which freed thousands of slaves from the hands of Egypt, summoned plagues, parted a sea, and drowned an army. However, if you were a superior nation, ruling as a god, and lost nearly everything to a slave revolt, would you want to document your losses?…

and He is perfectly able to see it through. He chose His people, the Israelites, and through many miracles, God proved to the them that He alone is God and there is no other. God disclosed in Exodus that sin does not go unpunished, because even Moses, with all he did to lead the people to the Promised Land, did not get to enter it himself. He struck the rock…

Israelites break God’s commandments by worshiping the golden calf. Though God delivered the Israelites from slavery in Egypt through several trials and tribulations, this was still not enough for them to follow his commandments. As a result, God condones Moses’ decision to let the Levites kill 3,000 Israelites. It seems unsettling for god to on the one hand permit genocide and on the other hand help people enjoy the benefits of earth. However, this act serves as a form of ethnic cleansing. It is…

Nyssan in The Life of Moses gives a synopsis of the life of Moses, which is primarily recorded in the book of Exodus. He argues that nothing dead can be in the presence of God, because “sandaled feet cannot ascend to that height where the light of truth is seen,” as only the living can ever be in the presence of the Lord. Nyssan argues that the presence of God is holy ground, which is the reason that Moses is commanded to take off his sandals in the presence of the burning bush. Nyssa goes on…
