Moses, an Extension Study of People in the Bible

Moses is one of the most pivotal figures in the Bible, known for his remarkable leadership and role as a prophet, lawgiver, and mediator between God and the Israelites. Born to Amram and Jochebed, Hebrew slaves in Egypt, Moses’ early life was marked by a miraculous event. To save him from Pharaoh’s edict to kill all Hebrew male infants, his mother placed him in a basket, where he was discovered and adopted by Pharaoh’s daughter. Raised as an Egyptian prince, Moses received a comprehensive education in various fields, including geometry, science, and mathematics.

As he grew older, Moses became aware of his Hebrew heritage and the suffering of his people. After killing an Egyptian who was beating a Hebrew slave, Moses fled to Midian, where he encountered God in a burning bush. This encounter marked the beginning of Moses’ journey as a leader, as God commissioned him to lead the Israelites out of Egyptian bondage. With the help of his brother Aaron, Moses confronted Pharaoh, demanding the Israelites’ release. When Pharaoh refused, God sent ten plagues upon Egypt, culminating in the Passover, where the Israelites were instructed to mark their doorposts with the blood of a lamb to spare their firstborn sons.

The parting of the Red Sea was another pivotal moment in Moses’ life, demonstrating God’s power and Moses’ faithfulness. As the Israelites wandered in the wilderness, Moses acted as an intermediary between God and the people, receiving divine instructions and conveying them to the Israelites. On Mount Sinai, God gave Moses the Ten Commandments, a foundational moral and legal code that would shape the Israelites’ relationship with God and with each other.

Throughout his life, Moses demonstrated humility, faithfulness, and obedience to God. Despite initial doubts about his ability to lead, Moses trusted God and fulfilled his role as a mediator, speaking with God “face to face.” His leadership was marked by his willingness to serve and guide the Israelites, even in the face of challenges and rebellion.

Moses’ legacy extends far beyond his lifetime. In Judaism, he is considered the greatest prophet, and his teachings are foundational to Jewish law and tradition. In Christianity, Moses is seen as a precursor to Jesus Christ, symbolizing the law that Jesus would later fulfill. In Islam, Moses (Musa) is also considered a prophet and a model of faithfulness and obedience to God. Through his remarkable story, Moses continues to inspire and guide people of faith around the world.

Cold and Flu Natural Tea Recipes

Recipe #1:

1. Ginger: Ginger has natural anti-inflammatory properties, which may help reduce congestion and alleviate sinus pressure. Its warming properties may also help loosen mucus.
2. Cayenne Pepper: Cayenne pepper contains capsaicin, which can help clear mucus from the sinuses and nasal passages. It may also help reduce pain and inflammation.
3. Honey: Honey has antimicrobial properties, which may help soothe a sore throat and calm a cough. Its sweetness can also provide temporary relief from discomfort.
4. Apple Cider Vinegar: Apple cider vinegar may help reduce mucus production and alleviate sinus pressure due to its potential alkalizing effect on the body.

Recipe #2:

1. Ginger: Similar to Recipe #1, ginger’s anti-inflammatory properties may help reduce congestion and alleviate sinus pressure.
2. Garlic Clove: Garlic has antimicrobial properties, which may help combat underlying infections. Its compounds may also help reduce inflammation and congestion.

Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: Ephesians 4:26 KJV
https://bible-strong.app

Ephesians 4
1 I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called,

2 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;

3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;

5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,

6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.

7 But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.

8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.

9 (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?

10 He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)

11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;

12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:

13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:

14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;

15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:

16 From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.

17 This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind,

18 Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart:

19 Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.

20 But ye have not so learned Christ;

21 If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:

22 That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;

23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;

24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.

25 Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.

26 Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:

27 Neither give place to the devil.

28 Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.

29 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.

30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.

31 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:

32 And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.

Numbers 18:1-18:23, In-depth Study

Welcome to our in-depth Bible study. We are still in the book of Numbers today. Let’s dive i to Father’s word.

Numbers 18
1 And the LORD said unto Aaron, Thou and thy sons and thy father’s house with thee shall bear the iniquity of the sanctuary: and thou and thy sons with thee shall bear the iniquity of your priesthood.

2 And thy brethren also of the tribe of Levi, the tribe of thy father, bring thou with thee, that they may be joined unto thee, and minister unto thee: but thou and thy sons with thee shall minister before the tabernacle of witness.

3 And they shall keep thy charge, and the charge of all the tabernacle: only they shall not come nigh the vessels of the sanctuary and the altar, that neither they, nor ye also, die.

4 And they shall be joined unto thee, and keep the charge of the tabernacle of the congregation, for all the service of the tabernacle: and a stranger shall not come nigh unto you.

5 And ye shall keep the charge of the sanctuary, and the charge of the altar: that there be no wrath any more upon the children of Israel.

6 And I, behold, I have taken your brethren the Levites from among the children of Israel: to you they are given as a gift for the LORD, to do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation.

7 Therefore thou and thy sons with thee shall keep your priest’s office for every thing of the altar, and within the vail; and ye shall serve: I have given your priest’s office unto you as a service of gift: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.

8 And the LORD spake unto Aaron, Behold, I also have given thee the charge of mine heave offerings of all the hallowed things of the children of Israel; unto thee have I given them by reason of the anointing, and to thy sons, by an ordinance for ever.

9 This shall be thine of the most holy things, reserved from the fire: every oblation of theirs, every meat offering of theirs, and every sin offering of theirs, and every trespass offering of theirs, which they shall render unto me, shall be most holy for thee and for thy sons.

10 In the most holy place shalt thou eat it; every male shall eat it: it shall be holy unto thee.

11 And this is thine; the heave offering of their gift, with all the wave offerings of the children of Israel: I have given them unto thee, and to thy sons and to thy daughters with thee, by a statute for ever: every one that is clean in thy house shall eat of it.

12 All the best of the oil, and all the best of the wine, and of the wheat, the firstfruits of them which they shall offer unto the LORD, them have I given thee.

13 And whatsoever is first ripe in the land, which they shall bring unto the LORD, shall be thine; every one that is clean in thine house shall eat of it.

14 Every thing devoted in Israel shall be thine.

15 Every thing that openeth the matrix in all flesh, which they bring unto the LORD, whether it be of men or beasts, shall be thine: nevertheless the firstborn of man shalt thou surely redeem, and the firstling of unclean beasts shalt thou redeem.

16 And those that are to be redeemed from a month old shalt thou redeem, according to thine estimation, for the money of five shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary, which is twenty gerahs.

17 But the firstling of a cow, or the firstling of a sheep, or the firstling of a goat, thou shalt not redeem; they are holy: thou shalt sprinkle their blood upon the altar, and shalt burn their fat for an offering made by fire, for a sweet savour unto the LORD.

18 And the flesh of them shall be thine, as the wave breast and as the right shoulder are thine.

19 All the heave offerings of the holy things, which the children of Israel offer unto the LORD, have I given thee, and thy sons and thy daughters with thee, by a statute for ever: it is a covenant of salt for ever before the LORD unto thee and to thy seed with thee.

20 And the LORD spake unto Aaron, Thou shalt have no inheritance in their land, neither shalt thou have any part among them: I am thy part and thine inheritance among the children of Israel.

21 And, behold, I have given the children of Levi all the tenth in Israel for an inheritance, for their service which they serve, even the service of the tabernacle of the congregation.

22 Neither must the children of Israel henceforth come nigh the tabernacle of the congregation, lest they bear sin, and die.

23 But the Levites shall do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they shall bear their iniquity: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations, that among the children of Israel they have no inheritance.

Lifestyle

How important is spirituality in your life?

How important is spirituality in my life? About as important as luck, superstitions and karma, they are irrelevant. I am a follower of Christ which is a reality and a lifestyle. Anytime I have spoken to individuals about spirituality it was a concept in which the one true God has been replaced with cosmos and the universe. God is covered by a broad term expressing that something is a higher power and life is an individual search for peace, meaning and purpose. The Bible tell us everything we need to know about how to find our peace, meaning and purpose. The Living Word revels how the cosmos and the universe was made. He even tells us about astrology, then some twist His words into horoscopes and fortune telling. It seems to me like spirituality is just a way to avoid accountability and what is expected of us as children of God.

Wife To Be

Soft and gentle, elegant like a sheet flowing in the wind. Her body twirls and swirls in her bare feet. Frolicking like a little girl, flowers in her hair and a warm smile on her face. She motions me to join her in dancing with the sun. I pause not wanting this moment to pass. The way the sun shines through her hair. The curves of her body, voluptuous and tantalizing. Her smile, so powerful and warm. The way she moves to a rhythm only she can hear. If I was to tell her how utterly captivating she is, she would blush and disagree. Oblivious to the masterpiece I see in front of me everyday. The way she laughs, the way she talks, the little things that make her unique. I wish to capture each and every one and catalog it into a book somehow. Then maybe she will finally see what I see. I pause for just another moment, knowing if I wait too long her smile will dip to a frown, wanting to etch this picture into long term memory. At last I grab her hand, twirling her into an embrace. She feels just as good as she looks, locked into my arms. I inhale her scent, a smell forever seared into my brain. For a moment I stare deep into her eyes, gazing into her soul. A soul perfect and heavenly. A soul much like the vessel that carries it. Precious, exquisite and rightfully cherished. How blessed I am for her heart belongs to me.

My Treat

How do you practice self-care?

How do I practice self care? I try to take time out at lease one a week roll to do something that brings me joy. Weather that’s reading, writing, a walk or a long bubble bath. Whatever makes me smile and lifts my mood on that moment.

Numbers 16:34-17:13, In-depth Study

Welcome back to out in-depth Bible study.

Numbers 16:34

34 And all Israel that were round about them fled at the cry of them: for they said, Lest the earth swallow us up also.

35 And there came out a fire from the LORD, and consumed the two hundred and fifty men that offered incense.

36 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

37 Speak unto Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, that he take up the censers out of the burning, and scatter thou the fire yonder; for they are hallowed.

38 The censers of these sinners against their own souls, let them make them broad plates for a covering of the altar: for they offered them before the LORD, therefore they are hallowed: and they shall be a sign unto the children of Israel.

39 And Eleazar the priest took the brasen censers, wherewith they that were burnt had offered; and they were made broad plates for a covering of the altar:

40 To be a memorial unto the children of Israel, that no stranger, which is not of the seed of Aaron, come near to offer incense before the LORD; that he be not as Korah, and as his company: as the LORD said to him by the hand of Moses.

41 But on the morrow all the congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron, saying, Ye have killed the people of the LORD.

42 And it came to pass, when the congregation was gathered against Moses and against Aaron, that they looked toward the tabernacle of the congregation: and, behold, the cloud covered it, and the glory of the LORD appeared.

43 And Moses and Aaron came before the tabernacle of the congregation.

44 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

45 Get you up from among this congregation, that I may consume them as in a moment. And they fell upon their faces.

46 And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a censer, and put fire therein from off the altar, and put on incense, and go quickly unto the congregation, and make an atonement for them: for there is wrath gone out from the LORD; the plague is begun.

47 And Aaron took as Moses commanded, and ran into the midst of the congregation; and, behold, the plague was begun among the people: and he put on incense, and made an atonement for the people.

48 And he stood between the dead and the living; and the plague was stayed.

49 Now they that died in the plague were fourteen thousand and seven hundred, beside them that died about the matter of Korah.

50 And Aaron returned unto Moses unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and the plague was stayed.

Numbers 17
1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and take of every one of them a rod according to the house of their fathers, of all their princes according to the house of their fathers twelve rods: write thou every man’s name upon his rod.

3 And thou shalt write Aaron’s name upon the rod of Levi: for one rod shall be for the head of the house of their fathers.

4 And thou shalt lay them up in the tabernacle of the congregation before the testimony, where I will meet with you.

5 And it shall come to pass, that the man’s rod, whom I shall choose, shall blossom: and I will make to cease from me the murmurings of the children of Israel, whereby they murmur against you.

6 And Moses spake unto the children of Israel, and every one of their princes gave him a rod apiece, for each prince one, according to their fathers’ houses, even twelve rods: and the rod of Aaron was among their rods.

7 And Moses laid up the rods before the LORD in the tabernacle of witness.

8 And it came to pass, that on the morrow Moses went into the tabernacle of witness; and, behold, the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi was budded, and brought forth buds, and bloomed blossoms, and yielded almonds.

9 And Moses brought out all the rods from before the LORD unto all the children of Israel: and they looked, and took every man his rod.

10 And the LORD said unto Moses, Bring Aaron’s rod again before the testimony, to be kept for a token against the rebels; and thou shalt quite take away their murmurings from me, that they die not.

11 And Moses did so: as the LORD commanded him, so did he.

12 And the children of Israel spake unto Moses, saying, Behold, we die, we perish, we all perish.

13 Whosoever cometh any thing near unto the tabernacle of the LORD shall die: shall we be consumed with dying?
