  • GiGi again on Exodus 4 - 2 years ago
    To speak further on Ch. 4, in verse 24 God is said to seek to kill Moses due to is son not being circumcised. Moses must have known to do this because His parents had circumcised him. But perhaps the customs of Midian had delayed circumcision to a later time in life. But just like Ishmael and Esau, the sons of Keturah (who with Abraham produced the Midianites) would have been circumcised. Did this practice continue in the ensuing generations or had it fell out of practice among these other descendants of Abraham? Obviously, Moses probably didn't know much about the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. His mother nursed him for 2-3 years and then when weaned, he went to live with the Egyptian princess. He may not have had a lot of contact with is family after that time. In Midian, under Jethro's instruction Moses may have learned some about God, but because the Midianites were not descendants of the promise from Abraham, they may have fallen away from relationship from Him. Jethro may have been one exception, and even then, he may not have known much about the life and times of Jacob and family. They lived a ways from the land of Canaan and Midian was isolated with the sea and mountains surrounding their land. Apparently, Zipporah knew why God rose up to kill Moses. She knew that her son's privates looked different from her husbands and perhaps Jethro had taught her about circumcision, but Moses refused to do it. So, Zipporah was a Godsend, along with Jethro, as we will later learn.

    Moses took his family to Egypt. He must have known that there would be danger for them, but he must not have wanted to be separated from them or else God had instructed Him to take them. We know these children were under 40 years old, but we do not know if they were very young or young men. Imagine your mom taking a sharp stone and using it to circumcise you! Yikes.

    Moses and Aaron learn obedience to God is very important in this event. I wonder how close God came to killing Moses?
  • Gigi on Exodus 3 - 2 years ago
    Here in Ch. 4 God continues to speak with Moses and Moses continues to give reasons why he cannot fulfill what God is asking him to do. He doesn't yet realize that God is able to go beyond our strengths and weaknesses to accomplish His will. It says that God became angry with Moses. Let us remember that God never sins in His anger Moses needed to know to fear God as well as learn about God's miraculous power. This expression of anger will keep Moses reverent and humble when He leads the Israelites with miracles and is separated out to be wit God on Mt, Sinai.

    God had already called Aaron to go to Moses. Had they seen one another in 40 years? Aaron was eloquent and respected by the Israelites. The Israelites did not know Moses well. So, God ad it all planned out that Moses AND Aaron would be the leaders of the Israelites, speaking with and for God, performing miracles with the "staff of God" and by other means. First, they had to be convincing to the Israelites who had not heard from God in a long time and who had defaulted to the idolatry learned in Egypt. But they still knew something about their special status with God through Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. They had just mixed true worship of the True God with idolatry and grew further and further from the truth of God and from Him personally. Surely, there were some among them that kept the faith, but as a whole, the Israelites had backslid from Him.

    God speaks to Moses about what pharaoh will do in response to the requests he and Aaron will make of him on God's behalf. So, knowing ahead of time will help Aaron and Moses to trust in God more than if God did not foretell them these things. Moses and Aaron needed some time to build their faith and to have their faith be tried so they would be rightly prepared to lead the Israelites through many hardships, grumblings, uprisings, and setbacks.

  • Roger on 2 Chronicles 22 - 2 years ago
    In chapter 21:17 Jehorams last and youngest son is Jehoahaz , but in chapter 22:1 it says his youngest son is Ahaziah? My questions are why are they listing two different people as his youngest son? The other question is if Jehoram was 32 when he became king and he reigned 8 years and died then that should make him 40 at his death. How could he have a 42 year old son that reigned after him? Thanks for any imput. Just for kicks I looked in a living bible and they list Ahaziahs age when he began his reign at 22 yrs old.

  • WHATS HAPPENING IN OUR WORLD NOW - 2 years ago
    Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed. Luke 17: 26-30

    And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows.

    And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. Matthew 24:4-8,10-14

    What are we to do when each day the news agencies report ever increasing threats of terror, hurricanes, cyclones, earthquakes, tsunamis, droughts, fires, floods, famines, pestilences and wars in our world? Jesus gave us His advice in the verses of Matthew 24

    Matthew 24:8, Mark 13:8

    All these are the beginning of sorrows.

    We're going to see "earth pains" as Jesus compared it to the labor pains of a woman. We will get through this part; just hand on tightly to Jesus. Read the Gospels where he taught the disciples about it. (that's us).

    Sometimes Nelson Walters teaches a little fast; but you might watch some of his "book of Daniel" end time teachings (on youtube).

    We're going to witness nations rising up against other nations, on TV !! (Such as Russia taking over Ukraine) Or, Palestinian Nations attacking Israel. The USA is giving money to Israel's ENEMIES.

    Let's do what Jesus said: PRAY for the Peace of Jerusalem!

    EVANGELIZE lost people. Hang on to your JOY.

    I was wondering...I see "1611" version here at the top of the page...is this Bible as good as KJV ? why are there extra books and what do you all think of this version ? ..also why was the book of Enoch taken out of the Bible ? ..and is the Hebrew bible truth ?.. I have no knowledge on these subjects...at all.
  • Jocelynne Bell on Genesis 1 - 2 years ago
    Well I'm not saying that the bible is false or our souls aren't actually true, but people have to actually see this stuff happening, like I know my questions might be stupid, but how are people gonna tell me to believe in God, but I don't even know if the Bible is actually true? , because yes people were NOT alive back then, and people want me just to go by a Bible or a book, but what if you don't know if it's a book, it could be something else because none of us were alive to tell us what the Bible actually is. I do believe in God, but some of the things that people or my family want me to believe doesn't make sense.

    In short, they disobeyed God.

    1.) Adam let his wife (eve) wonder about alone in the garden.

    2.) Eve let another man speak to her without having her husband present.

    3.) Eve added in to Scripture:

    "But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die." - Said Eve Genesis 3:3

    However God said "But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die." Genesis 2:17; She could touch the fruit, but she was commanded not to eat it.

    4.) Adam listened to Eve, instead of listening to his Father

  • Alex N - 2 years ago
    My understanding about this Woman in Rev 12 : 5 giving birth is like Jesus asked who is my Mother ? Them that hear the WORD and keeps it....So this woman has heard the Word that heavenly seed and she has kept it resulting in a birth of a baby Christ in her....making her his spritual Mother....which answers to the field the world were that good seed will be sown....and the world is humanity ....what i am trying to say is the result of the sower and his precious seed is this Woman...The world, if I be lifted up I will draw ALL men unto ME...Remember God so loved the world humanity...And God is no respector of Persons.....And according to Rev. 12 : 10 ....It says NOW IS COME SALVATION and the KiNGDOM of our God and his Christ....her baby is a baby Christ via this new covenant a birthing COVENANT.....NO NEW BIRTH NO KINGDOM.....No Child no kingdom ....

    Ya gota realize he neva refers to himself as any other name then the SON OF MAN....Which means mankind is gona birth a Baby Christ via his death...smite the shepard and the sheep will be scattered, then i will turn my hand to the LITTLE ONES....Thus the woman and her Baby which is the H.G. that Child of PROMISE.....This Woman is fulfilling that great Promise that Christ wd be multiplied as the stars of heaven...The WOMAN is the world and her Child is gonna be as the stars of heaven.....which is our new innerman the H.G. the Children of Promise....Even in the natural a birth always implies a Child.....no Child no new birth.....But he will not have a crop failure....Simply b/c his seed which is his Word cannot return unto him void...k mi voy
  • Sam C on Exodus 3 - 2 years ago
    I am a bit confused as to the time span here in Exodus. It says the daughter of Levi, gave birth to Moses. Even if it has been 80 years since this birth, how do we get 400 years of suppression of the people of Israel, and time spent amongst the people. Joseph brought Israel and his brothers, including Levi to Egypt. The math seems off here. How do we get 400 years from Levi to Moses if it is just 2 generations?
  • Dr. Lyle Lee on Genesis 2 - 2 years ago
    I would like to comment on versus 8-9; the garden of God was taken from the third heaven and brought down to the earth, where God planted it, as this was not created, it already existed. Adam was put into the garden of God, then the Lord created trees in front of Adam, I asked myself the question, why is God creating trees again after he rested, when he did this on the third day of creation? Then I discovered those trees on the third day of creation were taken from the earth, but these trees were taken from the ground of the garden of God, which came from the third heaven. Therefore, this was a metaphor, referring unto the trees as angels. Here we learn that the tree of life, was an angelic body created for the Holy Spirit, later in scripture known as the angel of the Lord, also known as God. The tree of knowledge of good and evil, was a metaphorical name for Lucifer, as he knew and understood both the world of light, and the world of darkness, until he became the god of that world. 11 Corinthians 4:4 The prophet Ezekiel gave us much insight on the trees in the garden of God being angels, as he spoke of it in Ezekiel 31:8-9 In summary, man is older than angels, as he was created before them, furthermore, he watched them being created in front of him, is it no wonder than why Satan tempted Eve and not Adam, as she was not created to see this event happening in the garden.
  • Rod - 2 years ago
    Dr. Lee, first I would like to thank you for your explanation of what you mean by Old Testament, your vision of Old testament which is also called the Mosaic law, (this is something I just learnt) is what I called the handwriting of the ordinances as it is worded in Colossians 2:14-15 and the book of Exodus and Leviticus, we differ in verbiage but same belief.

    When I see the words the Old Testament I think of the Old Testament as in the books from Genesis to Malachi and all they contain, If I may finish with one more verse from, 1 Corinthians 14:9 "So likewise ye, except ye utter by the tongue words easy to be understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? for ye shall speak into the air."

    once again thank you GB

    Colossians 2:14-15Colossians 2:14-15 14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; 15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
