Recommended: The bible exodus

Thousand of years ago, Moses lead enslaved Hebrews out of Egypt and to the promised land. This was the Exodus. If I were an Israelite slave I would have followed Moses. There are several reasons why I would make my decision. Due to the fact that, Moses proved that he would take to God, this would make me follow him. Also, Moses had more power than Pharaoh. Moses proved that he was trustworthy, so I would join him in the Exodus.
To begin, I would follow Moses out of Egypt because he could take to God and was kept safe by God. For instance, when Moses’s mom put him in the river it was a miracle that Pharaoh’s daughter found him. According to document two, it tells us how safe Moses was and in four it informs us that Moses got the ten commandments

    In 1863 Abraham Lincoln wrote the Emancipation Proclamation declared “that all persons held as slaves” within rebellious states “are, and henceforward shall be free”. In my perspective this was a command from God through Abraham. The sad thing about it is we still don’t follow it. Slavery and racism needs to stop before it gets out of hand.

The film illustrates how devastating the suffering some gays face and the struggles some Christian families encounter when a family member is gay. It is heartbreaking to watch moments of hate-mongering and discrimination against homosexuals, especially when done by family members or in the name of one’s religion.

    Basically, converting to state religion doesn’t save you free from slavery. The second law was the legalization of killing a slave. By far, this is one of the worst law in the universe. A killing person is morally wrong and since this law legalizes murdering slaves; slaves are less likely to revolt against their treatment.

    Moses spends forty years following the instructions of God throughout Exodus. However, in Numbers, God tells him to speak to the rock and it will bring them water. Instead of speaking to the rock, he strikes it with his staff, like he did previously in Exodus. When he does not directly follow the instructions he was given, God responds by saying, “‘Because you were not faithful to me in showing forth my sanctity before the Israelites, you shall not lead this community into the land I will give them,’” (Numbers 20:12). Moses ends up being able to see the Promised Land, but never being able to set foot inside

    Inspiration can be defined as God’s ongoing and dynamic revelation of truths to humans in order for us to know how to live and deal with spiritual and ethical encounters, by instilling wisdom and understanding of his word. Since humans wrote the Bible there is room for idiosyncrasies, intelligence, historic context, social context, and geographical context to influence scripture. However, God’s revelation of himself and his character prevails through the Bible. There is a dimension of God that can only be reached through personal encounters of His truths, through prayerful reflection of the Bible.

    ...nnel for the message to the Israelites. This serves God's ultimately purpose of setting his chosen people free. Although Moses does not seem like a worthy candidate for the task, God gives him the power to overcome his flaws. Moses was successful in communicating and obeying God's word throughout his journey, because he never sought to control or possess the land or the people, unlike Pharaoh. In the end, the journey of the spiritual hero can finish in either one of these two paths. It is up to the individual whether or not they will succumb to temptation and be led down into hell and remain there forever.

  • Violence Might Not Be the Answer, but It Is the Solution

    1674 Words  | 4 Pages

    Exodus 1-15 in the Old Testament is the story of Moses’ journey with his people, the Israelites, as they use God’s power to leave the land of Egypt and return to Israel. The story is also significant because of the argument it presents for people experiencing oppression and how to liberate themselves from their vicious subjugators. What Exodus 1-15 argues is that violent means are necessary in order for one to become emancipated. Furthermore, the story also argues that fear accompanied by vengeful violence will lead the Israelites and other oppressed groups to freedom.

    This section of exodus focuses on Moses, an Israelite who was raised as an Egyptian, who has fled from Egypt after the Pharaoh tried to kill him for killing an Egyptian man. By Exodus 3:1 Moses is married to Zipporah daughter of Jethro who gives him a job working as a shepherd. While tending to his animals Moses arrives at Horeb also known as Mount Sinai or the Mountain of God. Here Moses has his first theophany with God in the form of a burning bush. During this passage God talks to Moses telling him what he needs to do: go to Egypt and convince the Pharaoh to let the Egyptians go by performing a series of miracles. What god is asking Moses to do is intimidating. At this time the Pharaoh was the ruler of Egypt who had a powerful army and the Israelite’s weren’t going to be easy to convince that God sent him. Despite the “signs” Moses is reluctant to take the role beca...

  • Similarities Between The Bible And The Prince Of Egypt

    759 Words  | 2 Pages

    The story of Moses in the Bible and the story of Moses in The Prince of Egypt both show how Moses freed the Israelites from slavery, and led the Israelites through the Israelites' struggles and hardships. Moses guided the Israelites for forty years in the desert to the Promised Land, and listened to the Israelites' complaints. Moses would then pray to God, and God provide for the Israelites through Moses. Also, to show that Moses was such a great leader, Moses led the Israelites through a very dangerous journey. The people living in Egypt's lives back then were much harder than our lives today, but there are enough differences and similarities between the two separate stories to reflect upon.
