Moses was born to be rescued and to rescue others. He was born approximately 1571-1491 B.C. during which time, the Pharaoh was persecuting Hebrews by enslaving them and practicing infanticide by killing baby boys.
Moses had lived a life of privileges and luxury – the Egyptian lifestyle – for about 40 years. He had seen firsthand how the Egyptian culture worked where he learned science, mathematics and other highly cultural ethics and intelligences. Speaking metaphorically, his whole life was like being “on the run.”
In or about 1571 B.C. The Pharaoh of Egypt seemingly was an “angry madman.” He had just come into power. It was then the Hebrews (Exodus 12:40) tells us, “Now the sojourning of the children of Israel (who dwelt in Egypt) was four hundred and thirty years.
Journeying on through time, we read of Moses’ life in Exodus 2:1. He was born into the family of Levi, the priestly tribe. When Moses was born, his parents took notice that there was something about him, something that God had put on him and they saw there was something very special about this child. Scripture says, “a “goodly child.”
Did you hear what He said? Shhhh. He’s speaking. Listen. He said is something very important. Did I hear my voice or did I hear “HIS” voice? I may write you of ancient things and circumstances, nevertheless, the reasons and characteristics are similar. Times may change, but circumstances and needed results are and can be the same. Samuel, the prophet, goes to Saul. You will recall that Saul was the first king of Israel. Look at what is happening and compare it to today’s events. Samuel says in God’s name, solemnly requires Saul to be obedient to the command of
David had been victorious in all his pursuits. He had conquered all his enemies. Jehovah was at the helm of the ship always going before him to make the crooked places straight. David was obedient and listened to Jehovah. As he reminisced on the success of his battles and other pursuits, he sat in his house and was thinking things over, recalling how Jehovah had been so good to him. His mood seems pleasant. His recollections are positive with hope. We know a vicious enemy of David’s was King Saul, who pursued him relentlessly with death threats
These scriptures (2 Timothy 3:1-8) relate to some specifics about end-times events and apostasy (the church’s departure from the truth). Galatians 2:4 reveals to us that false teachers encourage apostasy during times of trials.
In Daniel 9 (an apocalyptic book), Daniel has a lot on his mind and wanted answers from God. He observed in the books the number of the years, which was revealed as the word of the Lord to Jeremiah the prophet for the completion of the desolations of Jerusalem, namely, 70 years.
Wouldn’t it be great if the Lord answered each prayer quickly, immediately and according to our own timing? Although, the Lord answers prayer, it’s according to His own wisdom and timing.
A downfall of Solomon was over exertion of building, construction, women, wealth and some other factors. Somewhere around 1742 B.C., we can read about historical factors of taxes.
One (or more) commentators might say that Solomon’s downfall resulted from wealth, weapons and women. However, that could reasonably extend to appendages sprouting from these to include wealth in abundance that brings with it, if not checked, arrogance, greed, not acknowledging others compassionately and overspending in humongous ways and areas. You can go on and on, just think up some words to fit. You might recall that Sodom was well known for its outrageous sexual behavior, but that was not their only trespass. They failed to acknowledge and give to the poor. Some people overlook the Sodomites other “outrageous”
Scriptures declare Solomon as the wisest, wealthiest, most influential (at least in our minds) of all the kings. Of course, his father David, the great warrior, is not less renowned than he.
When the day of Pentecost came, different cultures spoke in varieties of languages. “And suddenly there came from heaven a noise like a violent rushing wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting.” The rushing, mighty wind swept in, testifying and confirming what Jesus had already told them to expect. Wait for the Holy Spirit. Those present mocked what was going on , saying they were drunk. That belief was abandoned seeing it was early in the day and it did not hinder the Holy Spirit. Peter preached a powerful convincing sermon to come to Christ.
Ask Dr. Jeanette”™ Success On “The Way” “Dominion” Let’s define what we believe is commonly meant or understood as “dominion?” This word is stated in Genesis 1:26 – “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness; and let them have dominion (to tread down; to oppress; subjugate; subdue: to walk on a person; rule or control by superior power or influence; sovereign authority) over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air (lit. heaven), and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps
Right from the beginning, Jehovah, Jesus Christ, knew what was in man. He knew that man was classified to Him with disobedience even from his youth (Genesis 8:20-21). He didn’t need anyone to tell Him about man or explain to Him what was in man because He already knew what was in man. So it is today because He knows the thoughts and intents of the heart. He knows the end before the beginning. It’s a big mistake for any person regardless of the gender status that they may claim, the all-knowing God, Creator of humankind and animal kind, He
