Exodus 20 – Chiasm

| March 1, 2024

The First 5 of the 10 Commandments For those who like chiasms, this helps explain a few things. Unlike the Christian community, Jews combine what we consider the first two commands into one, making them the second command or as the Jews call these, “words” (instead of commands). Therefore the Jews see this list as […]

Three Passovers

| November 1, 2023

Only those reading mindlessly will pass over the comparisons between Moses and Joshua; and between the Exodus from the Slave Land and the Entrance to the Promise Land. Both servants being told to remove their sandals due to being on holy ground is just one (Exodus 3:5; Joshua 5:15). Crossing the Red Sea and the […]

A Good Point is not Necessarily a Biblical Point

| October 13, 2023

When God prepared Moses to go to His people, Moses doubted, repeatedly. One sign God gave for proof is Moses to sticking his hand inside his cloak, and when he takes it out, the hand is as white as snow. This illustrates Moses’s cold, unbelieving heart. No it doesn’t. The hand was white because of […]

The Festivals of Jesus’s Kingdom

| October 13, 2023

The Festivals of Jesus’s Kingdom Moses wrote Yahweh’s words to the Kingdom of Israel to honor the three feasts of God. In doing this, these three annual festivals foreshadow the three time periods of Jesus and His Kingdom (Exodus 23:14-17) 1. The Festival of Unleavened Bread which included Passover at the beginning – This is […]

The Waters of Moses

| October 13, 2023

The Waters of Moses Three times in Egypt, water and Moses are connected. These narratives are preparing for another and greater Man of God who also will be connected to water in teaching and action. 1. NILE – The Nile’s water is used to preserve life along with the basket (same Hebrew word as Noah’s […]

Exodus 4 – Beware What You Think, Say, and Hear

| September 8, 2023

  When God prepared Moses to go to His people, Moses doubted, repeatedly. One sign God gave for proof is Moses to sticking his hand inside his cloak, and when he takes it out, the hand is as white as snow. This illustrates Moses’s cold, unbelieving heart. No it doesn’t. The hand was white because […]

Exodus 20 – A Free Nation

| July 15, 2023

July 4th is when God gave the 10 Commandments to Israel at Mt. Sinai to announce their freedom from the tyrant King of Egypt.   No? Am I getting my history confused?   This curious confusion points to similarities between our Declaration and Constitution, and Israel’s 10 Commandments.   Read the Preamble in Exodus 20:2, […]

God’s Paintings

| June 3, 2022

Words paint pictures. A picture might be worth a thousand words, unless it is God painting with words. Notice this verse from the Song of Moses:   “The water heaped up at the blast from your nostrils; the currents stood firm like a dam. The watery depths congealed in the heart of the sea.” (CSB’17 […]

Repent by Removing Sandals?

| June 3, 2022

“Remove your sandals because you are standing on holy ground”, said Yahweh to Moses and Joshua.   “Repent, because the kingdom of God is near”, said John and Jesus to the crowds.   Are both statements saying the same thing?   One thing they have in common is both are said the beginning of something […]

Exodus 9:17 – Let My People Forgive

| April 19, 2022

“Let my people go” is probably the most recognized quote from God through Moses to Pharaoh concerning the great exodus from slavery. In Exodus 9:17, God says to the false king, “You are still acting arrogantly against my people by not letting them go” (CSB). The NASB (2020) phrases it, “Still you exalt yourself against […]
