Mount Horeb

with social shortcomings, who prefer routine schedules to overwhelmingly new experiences and unpredictability. Such was the case for me. My family moved when I was just turning three years old to Mount Horeb, Wisconsin, a small town of about 8,000 people, located about thirty miles from Madison. Mount Horeb is a quaint suburb known for its Norwegian heritage. It is a fine place to raise a family, but as I got older, I realized that I no longer felt welcomed and sheltered by the small and…

Then the Pharaoh died and God heard the cry of the children of Israel. And while Moses was tending Jethro’s flock, he led the flock to the mountain of God, even to Horeb. And the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a burning bush. Now, the bush was not consumed, and Moses turned and looked at this bush. The Lord saw Moses turn and said unto him, “Moses, Moses”. Moses replied, “Here am I.” Then the Lord told Moses…

that they transcended his own era and established Jewish traditions that are carried on this day. According to tradition, Moses received both written instruction from God in the form of the Ten Commandments and oral teachings from God at Mount Sinai and Mount Horeb. Moses was the first major Abrahamic figure to solidify and author the written tradition, and he expanded upon those lessons through his own oral teaching. God’s communication with Moses and Moses’ communications with his followers…

High school? That’s a year away! A few days later, she asks again. Again my answer is no. We have discussed they have a swim team, but one that co-ops with Mount Horeb. There seems to be no reason for me to switch. Verona only offers more courses, more students, and a bigger and better version of Mount Horeb, essentially. I was not leaving Hope and Alayna. High school was going to be hard enough, even with them by my side. I couldn’t imagine starting over completely without Hope…

He states that the forty days Jesus walked the desert is meant to make people think about Moses, and Elijah, and their forty years in the desert. It should also make people think about Moses’s forty day fasting on Mount Sini. Additionally, Elijah’s forty day journey to Horeb. Matthew says Jesus’s journey lasted forty days and, forty nights, but Mark, and Luke only mention forty days in the desert. It is essentially the same thing, but they do word his experience differently. Mullins says…

Judgment: Deuteronomy, Isaiah, Revelations “Judgment means vindication and liberation for the oppressed and destitute” (Sakenfeld, 458). In the biblical text, the one who is the highest judge and righteous ruler, is the God of Israel (Sakenfeld, 458). Being a just God, He specifically protects the poor and deprived. As it shows in Isaiah 41:17, “The poor and needy seek water, but there is none, Their tongues fail for thirst. I, the LORD, will hear them; I, the God of Israel, will not forsake…

and he wants his disciples to continue his message after he is gone. Jesus also tells his disciples to prepare the Passover meal (Matt 26:17-19). Jesus gives his body and blood to his disciples and they eat and drink, after this they leave to the Mount of Olives (Matt 26:26-30. The disciples do not understand what is going to happen so when Jesus tells them that someone will betray Him they try to figure out what he…

In the book of Genesis and Exodus God makes covenants with Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Moses in return for obedience of his commands. God promised blessings that consisted of acquiring Promised Land, building a great nation and having children to fulfill his perfect plan. The Abrahamic and Mosaic Covenants are affirmed and re-affirmed on a continued basis but the promises take years to be executed. While Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Moses obey God’s commands, they are almost never enriched with…

In the beginning was the genesis of creation, where had God moved by his spirit to create the Heavens, Earth, and mankind for a companionship with one of his own image. God wanted a relationship based on freewill for the product of true love. But the free will of mankind resulted in the fall from the grace of God. Because of God’s love, we can see the movement of God throughout history to reconcile the relationship between God and mankind back into right standing. The movement shows a trajectory…

The Book of Exodus INTRODUCTION Critical investigations into the Bible have revealed nuances and subversions which go beyond the mere didactic nature the text displays in a preliminary surface reading. The book of Exodus, the second book of the Torah and the Old Testament, begins with a portrayal of Israel's slavery in Egypt and God choosing Moses to liberate Israel from that servitude. The Pharaoh resists the purposes of God, and God responds by sending plagues on Egypt, the last of which leads…
