The Ten Commandments helped to create standards for Jewish morality, rituals, and accountability. These commandments, that are still followed today, are the laws that God handed down to Moses on Mount Sinai (Ten Commandments 1). The Ten Commandments that people know are actually only the first ten, out of 613 commandments, that were handed down to the Jewish people (Rich 1). The commandments are all of equal importance, because we have no way of knowing which ones the creator meant to be the…

Discuss the major hindrances in the lives of Moses and Joshua and compare them to your own life and experiences. Moses and Joshua had major hindrances when God called on them to led the Israelites to the Promise land and compare the two prophets to my very own life experiences. Studying Moses and Joshua led God’s people to the promise Land had major difficulties. First, Moses began his life as an adopted son to the Egyptian court. But when she hid him no longer, she got him a wicker basket and…

Israelites were complaining again against God and Moses. Consequently, God brought righteous judgment and punishment against them due to their actions, attitudes, and comments, through poisonous snakes. Many Israelites began to die from the snake bites. So they ask Moses to intercede before God for them. Moses did as they requested of him. The Lord answered by instructing Moses to craft a bronze snake, place it on a pole, and for the people to look upon it for healing from the bite lesions.…

“Who are we?” “GCPC.” “Who are we?!” “GCPC!” “WHO ARE WE??” “GCPC!!!” This call-and-response can be heard at the end of every home football game, on the baseball field late on Monday nights, on the Saint Lawrence Family Field every Tuesday and Thursday, every All College Hike, and every Homecoming Pep Rally. What is this cry, you might ask? It is the cry of one of the most important and well-loved families on campus. It is the solidarity cry of the Greenville College Panther Corps…

triumph over the Canaanites and 2 Samuel 22, a praise made by David for God’s deliverance of Goliath and the Philistine people. In the same way, the Song of Moses was written in order to praise and thank God for his deliverance from the hands of the Egyptians both in the land of Egypt and at the Red…

Sculptures were generally subjects of Torah and Bible, Jesus Christ, Mother Mary and cherubs were depictured predominantly. But other than these, also mythological subjects were used. The main material of the sculptures was generally marble, but bronze was also used in some of them. Sculptures were three dimensional and proportion was started to use in artworks. One of the most crucial sculptor in the period is inarguably Lorenzo Ghilberti. Ghilberti is widely known with his rellefs made for…

Throughout history two terms, Messiah and Son of God, have been used by different people to indicate differing expectations as to who the savior of Israel was going to be. The term messiah is from the Hebrew word mashiach, meaning anointed. In the Greek, the word cristos translates into Christ, and it too means anointed. By identifying Jesus as the Messiah and the Son of God, Mark is conveying to his first-century audience that Jesus was a suffering Messiah and the Son of God who encompassed…

Isaac became the second of the Patriarch's, spelled Yitshaq in ancient Hebrew, as the only son of Abraham and Sarah and according to the Old Testament becomes the first newborn boy to be circumcised at just eight days old. In order to test Abraham's faith, God requests that Abraham builds an altar for the purpose of sacrificing his young son Isaac. As requested, Abraham constructs the altar, ties his son to the altar, prepares to sacrifice Isaac when an angel tells Abraham to release his son and…

title and role of prophet. The role of prophet here is one who speaks for God, but is a concept the bible borrows from other places. Originally God wanted to speak directly to his people (Exodus 1:19) but per Israel’s request he spoke to them through Moses. The people understood figures that spoke for the king in order to inform them of his word. There would have been figures like this in Egypt taking on a leadership role and communicating to the propel the will of the king. As referenced above,…

This is God’s primary purposes for humanity accomplishing His plans forever.
