SECTION THIRTEEN
MOSES
Moses was born to a poor Jewish family enslaved in Egypt 80 years prior to the end of the four hundred years the Jews were enslaved in Egypt. At the time of his birth, the Jews had been in Egypt 350 years. Around the time of Moses' birth, the Pharaoh decreed that all Jewish male children must be killed, because the Jews were becoming too great in number and the Pharaoh was afraid the Jews might rebel.
When Moses was yet only three-months old and his mother could no longer hide him, she made an ark of bulrushes, and dabbed it with slim and pitch, and placing the child in it; she laid it in the flags by the river's bank. At the time she placed the small ark in the Nile River, the daughter of the Pharaoh came down to wash herself in the river. While the daughter of Pharaoh was at the river, her maidens walking along the river's edge saw the ark among the flags. Hearing of the ark, the daughter of Pharaoh sent her maid to fetch it.
"When the Pharaoh's daughter saw the baby and beheld the child crying, she took it knowing the baby was Hebrew and named him Moses. Then sending her maid to find a women to nurse the child, the Lord led her to the baby's mother." Exodus 2:1-10 NIV
When Moses was 40 years old, he witnessed the brutality of the Egyptian soldiers against the Hebrews, and he killed one of the Egyptian soldiers. Afraid he would be found out, he fled Egypt.
Exodus 2:21-22 "Fleeing Egypt, Moses traveled to the land of Midian (that is today in the northern part of Saudi Arabia) to the house of Jethro, where he tended Jethro's flocks. Jethro had seven daughters and Moses feeling safe and content there took one of Jethro's daughters, Zipporah as his wife, and in time, Zipporah bore him a son and he called his name Gershom; for he said, 'I have been a stranger in a strange land.' "
Exodus 3:1-21 "After Moses had been in Jethro's home for 40 years, one day he was tending Jethro's sheep on the backside of the mountain of God, called Mt. Horeb. While on the mountain, the Angel of the LORD appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush and as he looked, he beheld that even though the bush burned with fire, the bush was not consumed.
Turning aside, Moses looked again at the burning bush that was not consumed. As he stood watching the fire, The LORD who is Jesus in the flame saw that he had turned aside to see, and God Jesus called to him out of the midst of the burning bush and said, 'Moses!' Startled, Moses answered, 'Here am I.' Then God called to him to draw near saying 'Take off your sandals from your feet, for the place whereon you stand is holy ground.' Then Jesus said, 'I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.' Hearing God's voice, Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon God."
Then the LORD Jesus said to Moses, "I have surely seen the affliction of My people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmaster; for I know their sorrows, and I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land flowing with milk and honey unto the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites and Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites and the Jebusites."
"His face still hidden, Moses listened to the LORD speak, 'I will send you unto Pharaoh, that you may bring forth My people, the children of Israel out of Egypt.' "
Then God gave Moses two signs to show his people. After this, God sent Moses to Egypt and told him that his brother Aaron would be his voice if he was afraid that he could not speak. Before Moses leftGod Jesus' presence, God told him that even though He God, Himself had sent him, Pharaoh would not let His people leave Egypt.
At this point, Moses told God that he was slow of speech when he said, "I am slow of speech and tongue." Exodus 4:10 This is not to say that when he stood before God, it was difficult for him to speak. For in Acts 7:22, we are told that "Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians and was mighty in words and deeds." NKJV "But seeing his fear, God told Moses that He would also send Aaron, Moses' brother to speak for him if he could not speak himself." We will later find out that even though Aaron did do much of the talking after returning to Egypt, Moses did speak to the Pharaoh.
THE TEN PLAGUES GOD BROUGHT DOWN ON EGYPT FOR NOT LETTING HIS PEOPLE GO
Ten times Moses and Aaron appeared before Pharaoh, and each time, just as God had predicted, Pharaoh refused to let God's people free. And each time Pharaoh would refuse to let God's people go, God brought another plague down on Egypt worse than the previous plague.
1. PLAGUE:......All the water in the land of Egypt turned to blood.
2. PLAGUE:......Frogs covered all the land of Egypt.
3. PLAGUE:......The dust of the land of Egypt turned to lice.
4. PLAGUE:......A grievous swarm of flies entered every home in Egypt.
5. PLAGUE:......God killed all cattle and livestock belonging to an Egyptian.
6. PLAGUE:......God placed boils on all the Egyptians and on their beasts.
7. PLAGUE:......God caused hail to fall on Egypt killing both man and beast.
8. PLAGUE:......God covered Egypt with locusts and they ate the herbs and the fruit which the
hail had left behind.
9. PLAGUE:......God caused a darkness to cover the land of Egypt for three days, but no
darkness covered even one Jewish home. After the ninth plague, the LORD
Jesus came to Moses to issue the tenth plague. Exodus 11:1-8 "I will bring
one more plague on Pharaoh and on Egypt. After that, he will let My people
go from here, and when he does, he will drive you out completely. Tell the
people that men and women alike, they are to ask their neighbors for articles
of silver and gold." (The LORD JESUS made the Egyptians favorably
disposed toward the people, and Moses himself was highly regarded in Egypt
by Pharaoh's officials and by the people).
10. PLAGUE: Before God brought the tenth and final plague down on Egypt, He sent Moses
back to the Pharaoh with one final warning. Genesis 11:4 "Entering the
Pharaoh's palace, Moses confronted the Pharaoh saying, 'This is what the LORD
says, about midnight, I will go throughout Egypt. Every firstborn son in Egypt
will die, from the firstborn son of Pharaoh who sits on the throne to the firstborn son of the slave girl who is at her hand mill, and ll the firstborn of the
cattle, as well. There will be loud wailing throughout Egypt--worse than there
has ever been or ever will be again. But among the Israelites, not a dog will
bark at any man or animal. Then you will know that the LORD makes a
distinction between Egypt and Israel. All these officials of yours will come to
me, bowing down before me and saying, 'Go, you and all the people who follow
you! After that I will leave.' Then Moses, hot with anger, left Pharaoh." NIV
Moses had finally found his voice, just as God had said he would, and gave Pharaoh God's last command. After this, God came to Moses again and instructed him to have every Jewish house put the blood of a Lamb on their door post, and for no one to leave their home.
Exodus 12:29-32 "At midnight, the LORD struck down all the firstborn in Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh, who sat on the throne to the firstborn of the prisoner, who was in the dungeon, and the firstborn of all the livestock, as well. Pharaoh and all his officials and all the Egyptians got up during the night, and there was loud wailing in Egypt, for there was not a house without someone dead."
"During the night Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron saying, 'Up! Leave My people, you and the Israelites! Go, worship the LORD as you have requested. Take your flocks and herds, as you have said, and go. And also bless me.' " NIV
The reason the Pharaoh asked Moses to bless him was because he had lost his firstborn son, and he wanted Moses to pray to his God that he might bring his son back to life, but Moses did not pray, nor did he bless the Pharaoh.
THE EXODUS OF THE JEWS OUT OF EGYPT AFTER 430 YEARS
Exodus 12:40-42 "Now the length of time the Israelites lived in Egypt was 430 years. At the end of the 430 years, to the very day, all the LORD'S divisions left Egypt. Because the LORD Jesus kept vigil that night to bring them out of Egypt, on this night, all the Israelites are to keep vigil to honor the LORD for the generations to come." NIV
When Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt, along with everything else they took, Moses also took the bones of Joseph, who after his death at the age 110 years had been buried there.
"When Jacob was 147 years old, he died in Egypt. After his death, his sons did as he had commanded them and carried his body back to the land of Canaan and buried him in the cave in the field of Machpelah, near Mamre, which Abraham had bought as a burial place from Ephron the Hittite, along with the field. After burying his father, Joseph returned to Egypt, together with his brothers and all the others who had gone with him to bury his father." Genesis 50:12-14 NIV
GOD PARTS THE RED SEA
Upon leaving Egypt, Moses led the Israelites to the Red Sea with the Egyptian army, less than a day behind them. Shortly after Moses and the Jews left Egypt, anger rose up in the Pharaoh's heart and he and his army pursued the Jews as they fled toward the Red Sea. At the Red Sea, God commanded Moses to hold up his staff. All night Moses stood on the banks of the Red Sea and held his staff up pointed out toward the sea. All that night, God caused a great wind to rise up and part the waters and in the morning, Moses, and the Jewish nation walked across on dry ground followed closely behind by the Egyptian army. When all the Israelites had crossed over to the other side, God Jesus caused the waters to close up again drowning every Egyptian who followed them. Not one of the Egyptians who followed after the Jews lived.
THE JEWS REFUSED TO CROSS OVER THE JORDAN RIVER AND ENTER INTO THE PROMISE LAND
After crossing the Red Sea and leaving Egypt, Moses led the Israelites to the Jordan River. Arriving at the river, Moses made camp across from the Promise Land, which God had given to the descendants of Abraham. The next morning, Moses made the mistake of sending a scouting party across the river into Canaan to see what awaited them. The scouting party consisted of twelve men, a leader from twelve of the thirteen tribes of Israel. The scouting party was gone 40 days before returning to report what they had seen. When asked what they had seen in the Promise Land, all but two of the men, Caleb and Joshua, refused to enter into the land because they were afraid of the giants that inhabited the land.
Because the Jewish nation refused to enter into the Promise Land, God Jesus forced them to wander in the desert for 40 years, until everyone who was 20 years or older, except for Caleb and Joshua had died.
THE NEPHILIM - HALF - FALLEN ANGEL - AND - HALF MAN RETURN
All the scouts who returned from the Promise Land reported seeing Nephilim, the descendants of Anekim, one of the sons of the fallen angels. The Bible reports the giant Nephilim that the scouts reported seeing were 13-feet tall and made the Israelites look as grasshoppers compared to them.
Remember earlier, before Noah's Flood, in the days of Adam in the beginning, when men began to have daughters and the sons of God, the fallen angels saw them and took wives of whomever they chose and had children who were giants called Nephilim...Well, right now you are probably saying, but you said God destroyed the earth and drowned everyone, except Noah, his wife, Noah's three sons and their wives. And you are right. So, where did these new Nephilim come from? Did the fallen angels come again, and take more wives and have more Nephilim. The answer is NO! But if you will recall in Genesis 6:4, "God said, the Nephilim were on the earth in those days--and also after those days." NIV
Confused, I will explain. The two major reasons why God spared Noah were: (1) He was a righteous man in God's eyes, and (2) he carried the pure seed of Adam, which means that his seed, his wife's seed and the seed of his three sons were pure and had never been mixed with the seed of the Nephilim. Although their seed was pure, the Bible does not say that the three wives of his three sons were also free of the seed of the Nephilim. So in order for the Nephilim to reappear again would have to mean that at least one of the wives of Noah's three sons carried in her the seed of the Nephilim, but which one?
In Genesis 9:18, we learn that Ham was the father of Canaan. Ham was not only the father of Canaan or the Canaanites, who lived in the Holy Land at the time of Moses, but was also the father of the Zidonians, who lived on the northwest coast of Canaan. The Hittites, who lived near Hebron, the Jebusites who lived near Jerusalem, the Ammorites, who lived west and east of the Jordan, the Girgashites and Hivites, who lived in the center of Canaan. The Arkites, Sinites, Arvadites, Zemarites, and the Hamathites who all lived in the northern part of the Holy Land and who all carried the seed of the Nephilim. Ham's wife was a descendant of Anekim one of the original first-generation Nephilim and her seed was infected with the seed of a fallen angel causing the Promise Land to be filled with giants, the descendants of the Nephilim.
GOD PUNISHES THE JEWS 40 YEARS FOR REFUSING TO ENTER THE PROMISE LAND
After the twelve scouts told of what they had seen in Canaan, the Israelites refused to cross the Jordan and enter into the Promise Land. Seeing this, anger rose up in God's face and He punished the Jews. Numbers 14:28-33 "As surely as I live,' declares the LORD, 'I will do to you the very things I have heard you say. In this desert, your bodies will fall, every one of you 20 years old or more who was counted in the census and who has grumbled against Me. Not one of you will enter the land I swore with uplifted hand to make your home, except Caleb, son of Jephunneh, and Joshua, son of Nun. As for your children that you said would be taken as plunder, I will bring them in to enjoy the land you have rejected. But you, your bodies will fall in this desert. Your children will be shepherds here for 40 years suffering for your unfaithfulness, until the last of your bodies lies in the desert.' " NIV
WHY DID MOSES DIE WITHOUT ENTERING INTO THE PROMISE LAND
About 1,406 B.C. after wandering around in the desert for 40 years, Moses led the Israelite nation back to the Jordan River, but before he could lead them across into the Promise Land, he suddenly died because of a sin he had committed years earlier. During their 40-year exile in the desert, twice the Israelites ran out of water. Each time, the Lord Jesus told Moses what to do to bring forth water and satisfy their grumbling: It seemed that no matter what Moses did, they always had something to complain about. If you know anything about the Jewish culture, you know, that if you get two Jews together, you get three opinions. Just kidding!
The first time they ran out of water, God Jesus told Moses to strike a certain rock and water would come forth; the second time, they ran out of water, God told Moses to speak to that same rock and water would again come forth. When the Jews needed water the first time, Moses did as The Lord had instructed him and struck the rock and just as God had said, water came forth from the rock.
The second time the Jews needed water, Moses was angry from listening to their grumbling and instead of speaking to the rock as The Lord had instructed him, he struck the rock in his anger. Although The Lord brought water forth, because Moses had disobeyed him, God punished Moses by not allowing him to enter into the Promise Land, but only allowed him to see the Promise Land from a distance.
God knows the end from the beginning, and He knew Moses would disobey Him and strike the rock a second time causing him to die before entering the Promise Land. Remember earlier when God said that no one over the age of 20 years, except Caleb, son of Jephunneh, and Joshua, son of Nun "will enter the land I promised on oath to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, not one, except for Caleb, son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, and Joshua, son of Nun, for they followed the LORD wholeheartedly."
In Deuteronomy 32:48-52 "On that same day, the LORD told Moses, 49 'Go up into the Abarim Range to Mount Nebo in Moab, across from Jericho, and view Canaan, the land I am giving the Israelites as their own possession.' 50 'There on the mountain that you have climbed, you will die and be gathered to your people, just as your brother Aaron died on Mount Hor and was gathered to his people.' 51 'This is because both of you broke faith with me in the presence of the Israelites at the waters of Meribah Kadesh in the Desert of Zin and because you did not uphold My holiness among the Israelites.' 52 "Therefore, you will see the land only from a distance; you will not enter the land I am giving to the people of Israel.' " NIV
Moses was 120 years old when he died, yet his eyes were not weak nor his strength gone. After his death, God Himself took the body of Moses and buried him in the valley opposite Beth Peor, but to this day, no one knows where his grave is located.
In Deuteronomy 34:10-12 The Bible tells us that since Moses, no prophet has risen up in Israel like him, whom the LORD Jesus knew face-to-face and who did all the miraculous signs and wonders the LORD Jesus sent him to do in Egypt--to Pharaoh and to all his officials and to his whole land. For no one has ever shown the mighty power or performed the awesome deeds that Moses did in the sight of all Israel. NIV
GOD RAISES UP JOSHUA TO LEAD THE ISRAELITES INTO THE PROMISE LAND ISRAEL
After the death of Moses, Joshua which in Hebrew means salvation and in the Greek means Jesus, was filled with the Holy Spirit by The Lord and chosen to lead the Israelites across the Jordan River on the day of Passover into the Promise Land, to what is today, the land of Israel. The land God Jesus promised to Abraham's descendants.

Ten times Moses and Aaron appeared before Pharaoh, and each time, just as God had predicted, Pharaoh refused to let God's people free. And each time Pharaoh would refuse to let God's people go, God brought another plague down on Egypt worse than the previous plague.
1. PLAGUE:......All the water in the land of Egypt turned to blood.

3. PLAGUE:......The dust of the land of Egypt turned to lice.
4. PLAGUE:......A grievous swarm of flies entered every home in Egypt.

7. PLAGUE:......God caused hail to fall on Egypt killing both man and beast.
8. PLAGUE:......God covered Egypt with locusts and they ate the herbs and the fruit which the
hail had left behind.
9. PLAGUE:......God caused a darkness to cover the land of Egypt for three days, but no
darkness covered even one Jewish home. After the ninth plague, the LORD
Jesus came to Moses to issue the tenth plague. Exodus 11:1-8 "I will bring
one more plague on Pharaoh and on Egypt. After that, he will let My people
go from here, and when he does, he will drive you out completely. Tell the

The Hittites, who lived near Hebron, the Jebusites who lived near Jerusalem, the Ammorites, who lived west and east of the Jordan, the Girgashites and Hivites, who lived in the center of Canaan. The Arkites, Sinites, Arvadites, Zemarites, and the Hamathites who all lived in the northern part of the Holy Land and who all carried the seed of the Nephilim. Ham's wife was a descendant of Anekim one of the original first-generation Nephilim and her seed was infected with the seed of a fallen angel causing the Promise Land to be filled with giants, the descendants of the Nephilim.
GOD PUNISHES THE JEWS 40 YEARS FOR REFUSING TO ENTER THE PROMISE LAND
After the twelve scouts told of what they had seen in Canaan, the Israelites refused to cross the Jordan and enter into the Promise Land. Seeing this, anger rose up in God's face and He punished the Jews. Numbers 14:28-33 "As surely as I live,' declares the LORD, 'I will do to you the very things I have heard you say. In this desert, your bodies will fall, every one of you 20 years old or more who was counted in the census and who has grumbled against Me. Not one of you will enter the land I swore with uplifted hand to make your home, except Caleb, son of Jephunneh, and Joshua, son of Nun. As for your children that you said would be taken as plunder, I will bring them in to enjoy the land you have rejected. But you, your bodies will fall in this desert. Your children will be shepherds here for 40 years suffering for your unfaithfulness, until the last of your bodies lies in the desert.' " NIV
WHY DID MOSES DIE WITHOUT ENTERING INTO THE PROMISE LAND
About 1,406 B.C. after wandering around in the desert for 40 years, Moses led the Israelite nation back to the Jordan River, but before he could lead them across into the Promise Land, he suddenly died because of a sin he had committed years earlier. During their 40-year exile in the desert, twice the Israelites ran out of water. Each time, the Lord Jesus told Moses what to do to bring forth water and satisfy their grumbling: It seemed that no matter what Moses did, they always had something to complain about. If you know anything about the Jewish culture, you know, that if you get two Jews together, you get three opinions. Just kidding!
The first time they ran out of water, God Jesus told Moses to strike a certain rock and water would come forth; the second time, they ran out of water, God told Moses to speak to that same rock and water would again come forth. When the Jews needed water the first time, Moses did as The Lord had instructed him and struck the rock and just as God had said, water came forth from the rock.
The second time the Jews needed water, Moses was angry from listening to their grumbling and instead of speaking to the rock as The Lord had instructed him, he struck the rock in his anger. Although The Lord brought water forth, because Moses had disobeyed him, God punished Moses by not allowing him to enter into the Promise Land, but only allowed him to see the Promise Land from a distance.
God knows the end from the beginning, and He knew Moses would disobey Him and strike the rock a second time causing him to die before entering the Promise Land. Remember earlier when God said that no one over the age of 20 years, except Caleb, son of Jephunneh, and Joshua, son of Nun "will enter the land I promised on oath to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, not one, except for Caleb, son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, and Joshua, son of Nun, for they followed the LORD wholeheartedly."
In Deuteronomy 32:48-52 "On that same day, the LORD told Moses, 49 'Go up into the Abarim Range to Mount Nebo in Moab, across from Jericho, and view Canaan, the land I am giving the Israelites as their own possession.' 50 'There on the mountain that you have climbed, you will die and be gathered to your people, just as your brother Aaron died on Mount Hor and was gathered to his people.' 51 'This is because both of you broke faith with me in the presence of the Israelites at the waters of Meribah Kadesh in the Desert of Zin and because you did not uphold My holiness among the Israelites.' 52 "Therefore, you will see the land only from a distance; you will not enter the land I am giving to the people of Israel.' " NIV
Moses was 120 years old when he died, yet his eyes were not weak nor his strength gone. After his death, God Himself took the body of Moses and buried him in the valley opposite Beth Peor, but to this day, no one knows where his grave is located.
In Deuteronomy 34:10-12 The Bible tells us that since Moses, no prophet has risen up in Israel like him, whom the LORD Jesus knew face-to-face and who did all the miraculous signs and wonders the LORD Jesus sent him to do in Egypt--to Pharaoh and to all his officials and to his whole land. For no one has ever shown the mighty power or performed the awesome deeds that Moses did in the sight of all Israel. NIV
GOD RAISES UP JOSHUA TO LEAD THE ISRAELITES INTO THE PROMISE LAND ISRAEL
After the death of Moses, Joshua which in Hebrew means salvation and in the Greek means Jesus, was filled with the Holy Spirit by The Lord and chosen to lead the Israelites across the Jordan River on the day of Passover into the Promise Land, to what is today, the land of Israel. The land God Jesus promised to Abraham's descendants.
