Moses ( Hebrew ??????, Modern&_160; Moshe Tiberian&_160; Mošeh; Greek M??s?? in both the Septuagint and the New Testament; Arabic ?????, Musa) was, according to biblical texts, a religious leader, lawgiver, and prophet, to whom the authorship of the Torah is traditionally attributed. Also called Moshe Rabbeinu in Hebrew ( Hebrew ?????? ????????, Lit. "Moses our Teacher"), he is the most important prophet in Judaism, [1][2] and also considered an important prophet by Christianity, [1] Islam, [3] the Bahá'í Faith, [4] Rastafari, [1] and many other faiths. According to the Book of Exodus, Moses was born in a time when his people was increasing in number and the Egyptian Pharaoh was worried that they might help Egypt's enemies. Moses' Hebrew mother, Jochebed, hid him when the Pharaoh ordered all newborn Hebrew boys to be killed, and he ended up being adopted into the Egyptian royal family. After killing an Egyptian slave-master, Moses fled across the Red Sea to Midian where he tended the flocks of Jethro, a priest of Midian on the slopes of Mt. Horeb. After the Ten Plagues were unleashed on Egypt, Moses led the Hebrew people out of Egypt, across the Red Sea, where they based themselves at Horeb and compassed the borders of Edom. It was at this time that Moses received the Ten Commandments. Despite living to the age of 120, Moses died before reaching the Land of Israel. In the Bible the narratives of Moses are in Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy while the main source for Moses' life is the Book of Exodus. According to the Book of Exodus, Moses was a son of Amram, a member of the Levite tribe of Israel, having descended from Jacob, and his wife Jochebed.[5] Jochebed (also Yocheved) was kin to Amram's father Kehath (Exodus 620). Moses had one older (by seven years) sister, Miriam, and one older (by three years) brother, Aaron.[5] According to Genesis 4611, Amram's father Kehath immigrated to Egypt with 70 of Jacob's household, making Moses part of the second generation of Israelites born during their time in Egypt.[6] In the Exodus account, the birth of Moses occurred at a time when the current Egyptian Pharaoh had commanded that all male Hebrew children born be killed by drowning in the river Nile. The Torah and Flavius Josephus leave the identity of this Pharaoh unstated.[7] Jochebed, the wife of the Levite Amram, bore a son and kept him concealed for three months.[5][8][9] When she could keep him hidden no longer, rather than deliver him to be killed, she set him adrift on the Nile River in a small craft of bulrushes coated in pitch.[8] In the Biblical account, Moses' sister Miriam observed the progress of the tiny boat until it reached a place where Pharaoh's daughter Thermuthis (Bithiah)[5][10] was bathing with her handmaidens. It is said that she spotted the baby in the basket and had her handmaiden fetch it for her. Miriam came forward and asked Pharaoh's daughter if she would like a Hebrew woman to nurse the baby.[5] Thereafter, Jochebed was employed as the child's nurse, and he grew and was brought to Pharaoh's daughter and became her son, and a younger brother to the future Pharaoh of Egypt (probably Rameses II). Moses would not be able to become Pharaoh because he was not the 'blood' son of Bithiah, and he was the youngest.[11][this primary source citation needs verification]

1. The Pleasures of Sin
November 12, 2009
Is there pleasure in sin? The Bible teaches that sometimes there is – that is for a time. You are probably familiar with the passage in the Bible found in Heb. 11:24-25 that speaks of the “pleasures of sin for a season” (KJV) or “the passing pleasures of sin” as the New King James puts it. “By faith Moses, when he became of age, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter, choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God than to enjoy the passing pleasures of sin.” (Heb. 11:24-25 NKJV)
There is another passage found in 2 Thess. 2:12 that also teaches there is pleasure... (read more)

3. Choose The Right Baby Sleeping Bag For Your Child
November 12, 2009
Baby bags are essentially recommended by doctors for infants who are in the age group of 1-2 months to 6 years. This is because at this stage most of the growth in the baby occurs, and proper sleep is very essential for proper growth of the baby. Infants are known to change positions and postures during sleep which is a very bad habit if allowed regularly.
This is because in at such a tender age, babies cannot express themselves properly in sleep. Thus if a blanket gets covered on the baby’s face or the baby lies on its stomach during sleep, then suffocation maybe a cause that can lead to... (read more)

8. The Lord Loves Us by Rodney Howard Browne
November 06, 2009
Isn't God gracious? We have got a Lord who knows our hearts, knows our thoughts, and knows our fears. When Moses had left Egypt forty years before there were those who sought his life. He was potentially featured at the apex of the Egyptian version of The 10 Most Wanted list.he used to be a family man now, headin' west with the better half and kids, and that potential danger must've been weighing on his mind. But when he finally made the choice to embrace God's will, he concerned to make the journey notwithstanding those concerns. He revealed to the Lord, in reality'Lord, I'm going to tr... (read more)

9. Holding to Faith by Rodney Howard Browne
November 06, 2009
Moses took a forty-story fall. As we pick up the biblical account, he is a heavy-hearted, bruised-and-battered soul who has come to a sudden stop at the bottom. In a matter of mere days, he has stepped off the head of the pyramid as Pharaoh-designate and down to a bedraggled, broke fugitive on the backside of Zipville. Living as we do in a product-oriented culture, we like to package our faith too. We like to sell a slick, shrink-wrapped version of deliverance that includes wealth and peace, everlasting happiness here and now, and heaven by and by. While there's tiny wrong with teaching p...

10. The Instrument of God by Rodney Howard Browne
November 06, 2009
God was pronouncing to his servant,'Moses, you simply go before Pharaoh and deliver the products. Just be conscious of that even his uncooperative, hardened heart isn't outside My will.' In the following verse, the Lord gave Moses categorical instructions of what to claim when he rammed into that brick wall. 'Then you shall say to Pharaoh, 'Thus claims the LORD,'Israel is My boy, My first-born. So I made public to you, 'Let My boy go, that he may serve Me' ; but you have refused to allow him go. Behold, I may kill your child, your firstborn' ' ( Exodus 4:22-23 ). To put it into the vernac... (read more)

11. Doing it by Yourselves by Rodney Howard Browne
November 05, 2009
It was Aaron who got impatient while Moses was on the mountain and made a golden calf for the people to worship. It was he who informed the people,'This is your god, O Israel, who brought you up from the land of Egypt' ( Exodus 32:4 ). As you read these words, you will sense God's elbow to step out on religion in a plan that appears perilous at best. You do not know the hows and whys and wherefores of what God has in mind. From a human perspective, the prospects look rather sheer. Did you know what our bias is? It's to take someone with us. how many men have gone into a business partne... (read more)

13. Was The Date Of The Exodus The 15th Century B.C. Or The 13th Century B.C.?
November 05, 2009
The precise date of the Exodus from Egypt is uncertain, because the information in the Bible can be interpreted to support more than one date. Archaeological discoveries also present a confused picture. The result is that some scholars date the Exodus as early as 1446 B.C., while others place it later, about 1290 B.C.
The circumstances of Egyptian history are not very helpful either, because surviving Egyptian records do not mention either Joseph or Moses in any historical period. Neither does the Bible name the Pharaoh who ruled Egypt in Moses' day. The Exodus occurred after the rise of... (read more)

He had not dump the tenet that he was supposed to be the deliverer, and he was somehow failing. How frequently had God explained it to him? Yet, like many people, he had difficulty keeping a grip on the Lord's assurances. What was Moses to do now? The message was a rerun of the last one [*CO]'Go, tell Pharaoh king of Egypt to let the boys of Israel go out of his land' ( v. 'Go to Pharaoh, Lord? My private people just purchased me an one-way ticket caravan back to Midian, and you would like me to return to Pharaoh? R-r-r-e-m-m-m-em-ber m-m-me? I am the fellow who can't t-t-t-talk. How ...

16. Christmas - The Birth of the Christ Consciousness Within
November 05, 2009
The Christ is not just one person. The Christ is an "office" or "position" we ALL attain to. The word Christ means, "the anointed one." Jesus came to show us the way to be a vessel for the Love of God to manifest.
When the Christ Spirit entered Jesus he had perfected His soul in many lifetimes to be a worthy temple for Love incarnate. Edgar Cayce said that Jesus was Adam. In the "fall" was the promise of full redemption.
The Christ Consciousness is part of the Trinity, known by different names in many religions. The Father is the Will and Power of God, the Son or Daughter, the Christ... (read more)

Moses, the Prince of Egypt, alias Mr Perfect, watering animals? Why? Because Moses had just choked down the largest wedge of humble pie you can imagine. By this time, the person was prepared to do anything. Isn't it interesting, though, that in this event Moses was permitted to be a deliverer on an enormously smaller scale? Earlier, he had thought he was going to supply a country. Start here. He would have declared,'Aw forget all about it. I am out of the delivery business. Let someone else do the job.' But he didn't. The younger ladies would later tell their pa,'An Egyptian delivere... (read more)

History of the Emerald – Article 1
One of the earliest records of the emerald is found in the Bible. The book of Exodus written by Moses about 1400 B.C. tells us that an emerald was one of twelve stones placed in the Breastplate of Judgment (Exodus 28:18). This breastplate was worn by the High Priest of the Israelites and had certain supernatural properties. The stones were arrayed in four rows with three stones in each row. According to most bibles including the King James Version the emerald was the first stone in the second row.

22. A Lesson For The Christian Of God's Provision- Examples From The Israelite's Time In the Wilderness
October 22, 2009
In the first chapter of the book of Numbers we find Yahweh speaking to His servant Moses while He was in the Tabernacle. The Scripture testifies that it was on the fist day of the second month of the second year since they had been released from their captures in Egypt. (Numbers 1:1) So this means that they had spent some time now as free men under the government of Yahweh led by His servants Moses and Aaron. On this occasion setting Yahweh commanded Moses to number the men of all the tribes of Israel who were 20 years and older, as many as were able to go forth to war. The total of the twe... (read more)

24. Knowing Fidelity by Rodney Howard Browne
October 22, 2009
Why? Why would a good and loving God ask an obedient and loyal man to do this? The answer can be discovered in the first language of Moses, the electrified, human writer of Genesis. The Hebrew word nasah, interpreted'tested' in Genesis 22:1, has the idea of building the standard of something, typically by placing it thru a trial of some type. God wished to demonstrate the validity-the authenticity-of Abraham's faith. He knew the middle of Abraham better than Abraham did. The elected patch of ground at the peak of a forsaken mountain in the land of Moriah was to be Abraham's building groun... (read more)

25. Excellent Mr Burns Simpsons

One of the most liked to hate characters in The Simpsons is the extremely wealthy yet dirt poor Mr Burns. He's got the controlling and demanding personality of the most ill-hated chief in America or probably the entire world. Mr Smither's fascination with Burns also leads to our love-have interest in Burns, driving us to the threshold occasionally, particularly when Smither's turns his blind eye to Burn's misdemeanors. This took quite a lot of strength from Marge to see Mr Burns' inner beauty, and when she found this and portrayed this in his portrait he became upset to discover he had been... (read more)
