Another thing we can learn from God and Moses relationship is obedience. Moses obeyed God in everything that God told him to fulfill. When God told Moses to lead the Hebrews out of Egypt, Moses did not stop until he led the Hebrews out of Egypt.
They wanted to be just like God and walk in his shoe, but he can’t be evil or feel. That day they doom the whole world and know we can never be close to God like they once were. In the book of Exodus God said that if we would even look at him we would be no more. (Sharpe, 2014, pp.3). Suffering and evil is so apart of us and we still don’t see it and can’t realize how it is in us.
"The Crucible" by Arthur Miller is about a village where people believe a lot in witchcraft, but things start to go crazy when they start accusing each other with no evidence or evidence that doesn't make sense, only because they don't like each other or because they want their lands, when people go to the jail they have two options, they can lie and confess witchcraft to don't die, or they can say the truth, don't confess and die. Because of that, Proctor, the main character, and his wife went to jail, the court saw that the people from the village were not believing too much in witchcraft, so they gave an option to Proctor, he could be free if he lied and confessed witchcraft for the village, but Proctor didn't lie, so they killed him. " The
Throughout life, a person might have many thoughts and one thought that we could all potentially share is, what happens when we die? Very recently my eight year old niece has been thinking of death and has asked me that very question, in which I had no answer to. I noticed that every religion had different answers to that question and that I only knew that every religion has different traditions and rituals for burial, but not what happens once one is dead and buried. I was raised as a Jew and growing up Jewish, one would hear many stories about the religion. I find it very funny that most rabbis had many variations of stories and the only time I received the same story was if the rabbis were in the same family.
God selected Moses to be their guide out of Egypt, however the Israelites can only be saved if they listen to Moses and if the Pharaoh heeds God’s orders that Moses communicates. Pharaoh refuses to believe Moses. Moses was already doubtful of himself, however God provides a warning of what he will follow
The elders of Gilead went to find Jephthah and make him their captain to defend them against the Ammonites (v. 5-6). He reminded them that they had previously sent him away, and now they want him to deliver them (v. 7). The elders urged him to come with them, but he required that they make him their ruler in return (v. 8-9). The elders agreed to his terms, and he went with them (v. 10-11). Once he arrived in Gilead, Jephthah sent messengers to find out why the Ammonites were fighting them (v. 12).
Moses is considered one of the greatest prophets of Israelites and Judaism. Moses led Hebrews out of Egypt to the Promised Land although he never reached Canaan. Meanwhile, during the exodus of Hebrews Moses acted as both a leader and a law-giver. Moses enacted some miracles on behalf of the Lord to flee Israelites from the Egyptian bondage. Thus, he provided the people with leadership in the quest for their freedom from Egyptians.
Firstly, the Hebrews are quick to turn away from the promise of God and the leadership of Moses when difficulties come. This is a pattern which is continued throughout the Israelites’ time in the wilderness, where time and time again, the people complain to Moses when things get tough and repeatedly disobey God’s commands to them. The ancient Israelites knew God as the powerful creator and therefore they should have humbled themselves before God and cried out all the more for deliverance. However, instead, they turned against Moses and Aaron – the instruments of their
In Isaiah and Jeremiah, much of the writing is prophesies about the destruction that is coming for the people as punishment for their sins against God. Although God did pour out his wrath upon them in punishment, insight is shown into what the covenant relationship with God was intended to look like. It is shown how God is truly faithful to his covenant people, even when His people are not faithful to Him. God would continue to be faithful in the futures of Israel and Jeremiah. God had to bring punishment upon Israel and Judah before he could get to the good plans that were in his future for Israel.
Exodus is the continuation of the what last happened in Genesis and serve as the background information as to why the Israelites are in Egypt. The main issue is that as generations pass and the Israelites are still blessed to multiply, the new Pharaoh has no idea who Joseph is and what he had done to help the past Pharaoh and Egypt. With this in mind, God then has Moses and his brother Aaron grant the Hebrew people the liberty the Pharaoh refuses to give them. This is where I pulled the interesting points that stood out to me and had me questioning the ‘goodness’ of God.
People doubted Moses but every time they did God provided for them. Moses went to the top of the mountain and received the ten commandments from the way people should that all believe in the God. Moses told the children of Israel that God must kill him and Joseph will lead the people the rest of the way to the promise land. At the promise land there will be food, homes and your land will grow and you will lack
Jeremiah’s message was not all negative, as mentioned,
Deuteronomy is a book of clarification for the Israelites. Ever since the Exodus, the Israelites had repeatedly been disobedient to God. They constantly sought to do their own thing instead of obeying the Creator. Moses was well aware of their nature. In his final address to a fresh generation of Israelites, he wishes for them to avoid making the mistakes their fathers did.
Introduction God intended kingship in Israel to be different from the surrounding kingdoms. He ordained the kingship to be a theocracy, and the king would maintain justice both domestically and abroad. Therefore, God anointed King Saul and later King David, and both men sinned against God often. However, God looked with favor upon David and regretted having made Saul king (1 Sam. 15:11 NIV).
People were encouraged to give freewill offering. Chapter 3 reveals that the Israelites were literally ecstatic about the rebuilding of the temple. All the people shouted with a great shout, and they praised the LORD, when the foundation of the house of the LORD was laid. Contrarily in chapter 4, we see how much the devil hates to see the rebuilding of the foundation, the walls and the gates because that means that they were closing in on the devil that they were about keeping him out of his wicked job and out of his evil control. This is so obvious in that chapter.
