Moses and the Exodus

The story of Moses is one of the most thrilling in all of history. We know the story very well, most of us. Who hasn't watched, "The Ten Commandments" movie? From the River Nile to the place where he was named - "Moses" means "Pulled from the Water" - he became one of the most important princes in Egypt. Then, within twenty-four hours, he lost it all: privilege, position, honor, entitlement, prestige, his people, and even his future. (But he did gain a wife, a great father-in-law, two children, and lots of experience helping sheep find food among the rocks.)

Starting at the age of forty, his character was forged in the blinding heat of the desert. One day, approximately at age eighty, he heard the Lord speaking to him from a burning bush. "Tell the Pharaoh, 'Let my people go.'" 

The story of the Exodus became the foundational story for the Jewish people. We as Christians find in the Passover and the Exodus patterns that come to fruition in our Lord Jesus Christ. We bless the Jewish people for having preserved the documents of the first five books of the Bible that largely laid the basis for Western Civilization.

Moses is a hero for many reasons. Two stand out above the rest. First, he listened to the Lord JHWH and obeyed, resulting in the deliverance of millions of people who became the nation of Israel. Because of that, the LORD is proclaimed as being more powerful than all earthly gods. The gods of Egpyt, multiplied dozens of them, are judged and overthrown.

Secondly, Moses delivers the Law, the Torah, to the people of Israel. The Ten Commandments and all the other commands and precepts declare to the nations that the Lord is above all powers and principalities. No king on earth can improve upon the laws given by God. A standard of justice, righteousness, love, and equity stands at the center of God's will. The nation that follows these laws will prosper.
