In this Rebellion story the political and power support was definitely behind the rebels. However, they failed to be successful because Moses had what they lacked- the spiritual connection to the God of Israel. With all the earthly credentials, the most important was missing. The story asks us to do two main things: (i) trust in our leaders and (ii) be humble as he that exalts himself shall be humbled and he that humble himself shall be exalted. The Israelite rebels in their thirst for power…

chooses Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, and David (p 49-56). She uses these five main characters because each one plays a key role in the redemption story. Adam is important because everything started with him. Without him, nothing would be. Noah is important because God used him to begin again. He destroyed all the evil and wickedness and started again with Noah. Abraham is important because God made a covenant with him to give the land of Canaan back to the Israelites. Moses led God’s people away…

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…

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…
