241 | How long were Egyptian plagues in all? | Exodus | prayon | 96407 | ||
Greetinngs Mouse and welcome to the forum, Moses lived 120 years. His life is divided into 3 time frames. His first 40 years were spent in Egypt(Acts 7:23). After murdering the Egyptian guard he fled to Midian where he spent the next 40 years of his life (Acts 7:30). Moses then wandered in the wilderness for 40 years. According to this time chart the plagues could not of lasted any significant amount of time. In one article I have read that the plagues lasted 6-10 months. Hope this helps. prayon |

243 | When God himself has selected Moses to f | Ex 4:24 | prayon | 2111 | ||
It is my understanding according to the New International version footnotes that God sought to kill him because he had not followed his commands and circumsized his son possibly because they were living in Minian, or maybe because he was not too familiar with God's law. It could also of been that because Zipporah was a Medianite she opposed the circumcision. I believe that this might of been the case in part because as soon as Moses became ill she knew exactly what to do and circumcised the son which proves that they had definitly discussed the matter. Moses however could not fulfill the position God had planned for him as the deliverer of Isreal until he had fulfilled God's covenant of circumcision. Under Old Testament law failing to circumcise your son meant to remove yourself and your family from God's blessing. He also learned that messing with God was even more dangerous than messing with the Pharaoh. | ||||||
244 | what happened after moses spoke? | Ex 5:1 | prayon | 70529 | ||
Greetings CMoore, The Pharaohs first words to Moses was "Who was the Lord that I should obey Him and let Isreal go?" Pharaoh's words were very arogant probably because he, himself, was considered to be a god. The whole first meeting ended in a disaster. He doubled the Isrealites work and intensified their unfair treatment. On their 2nd meeting, God told Moses to have Aaron throw down his staff in front of Pharaoh. The staff became a snake. However, the court magicians were able to duplicate the sign by the use of Satan's power but when they did Aaron's "snake" swallowed the other snakes. But Pharaoh's heart was so hard that he was unimpressed. prayon | ||||||
245 | Why did God harden Pharaoh's heart? | Ex 7:3 | prayon | 8946 | ||
Good question Hiram! Upon God ultimately rests the responsibility for the well-being of some and the discomfuture of others, and He is well able to bear it. In Exo 33:19 God tells us that He "will be gracious to whom I will be gracious and show mercy to whom I will show mercy. This tells us specifically that He will not show mercy to all. The Pharaoh is cautioned at the outset as to the consequences of non-compliance with the divine command. In addition, Exo 8:15,32; 9:34 states that Pharaoh hardened his own heart. Hardening of the heart is the choice of man. Pharaoh freely chose a life of resisting God. Pharaoh was a greedy man. The Hebrews were free labor for the Pharaoh. He was not about to let such a great resource go. Even after he did say they were to go he changed his mind and went after them to bring them back (Exo 14:5). |

246 | Plague of frogs upon Israel? | Ex 8:8 | prayon | 55283 | ||
Greetings angelface, There were about 80 major gods and godesses in Egypt, and these were clustered about the three natural forces of the Egyptian life, the Nile river, the land and the cloudless sky with its ceaseless sun. Each plague that God sent were sent against a god or goddess in this pattern. The plague of frogs was the second plague to hit the Egyptians and went against the gods of the Nile. One of the godesses of the Nile was Hekt and was always pictured with the head and often the body of a frog. Frogs, therefore, were sacred and could not be killed. The Egyptians were forced to loathe this slimy symbol of their depraved worship. prayon | ||||||
247 | what are the ten commandments? | Ex 20:2 | prayon | 58994 | ||
Greetings gregdy, What we call the 10 commandments are also called The Law, The Covenant, the Tables of Testimony or by the Jews the Ten Words and are a series of commands from God to the chosen people. It is impossible to overstate the importance of this divinely imparted moral code. They are the fundamental principles of Israelite religion. Taken in proper setting they are the covenant terms imposed by God upon His covenant partners. Jesus stated in the sermon on the Mount that He did not come too destroy the OT law but to fulfill it. The 2nd part of the Sermon on the Mount, (Matt 5:17-6:18), reveals a very close correspondence between these two revelations of God's will for His peole. He reminds us that God demands purity, love and devotion from the heart, as well as in outward conduct. The 10 commandments are as important today as they were in Moses day. Today many people revere the Bible and the 10 commandments but they do not read it. A good many can not even remember one of the commandments. It is no wonder that the world is in the shape it is. prayon |

248 | what is the ten commandments | Ex 20:2 | prayon | 63155 | ||
Greetings ladycook1, the 10 commandments are a series of commands or moral code from God to the Israelites given through Moses. They are standards that flow from the character of God. They are also called The Law, The Covenant, and The Tables of Testimony. The Jews call them the Ten words. prayon | ||||||
249 | What are generation curses? | Ex 20:5 | prayon | 33478 | ||
Greetings Beth, I agree with what srbaegon and jlpangilinan said but I wanted to add that it is important to remember that Moses promised us that God does not punish the children for the sins of their parents (Deut 24:16 and Eze 18:19-32), but as they said the children will feel the impact of breaches in God's laws. In addition a generational curse doesn't include only idolatry and such but can also include things like diaabetes, depression or any other thing that is "passed from one generation to the next". prayon |

252 | What is the sin that IS forgivable? | Ex 20:13 | prayon | 4022 | ||
I believe that there is but on sin that is unforgivable - blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. All other sins are forgiven if you have truly repented from them. I believe that when you continue in the sin and don't repent from your heart that is when it is unforgiven. Remember "as far as the east is from the west"? After all Jesus could never be wrong could He? | ||||||
253 | Was Jesus (shaken) awake in the boat | Ex 21:5 | prayon | 165626 | ||
Greetings ceebee7, Jesus was not shaken awake. His discipes awakened Him when they grew fearful of the storm. Each reference you gave me stated that fact. prayon | ||||||
254 | Still puzzled as to how he was woken | Ex 21:5 | prayon | 165647 | ||
Greetings, I was in Mississippi doing volunteer work when Rita went into Texas. Even though I was in a fifth wheel that was "rocking" in the wind I was able to go to sleep and stay asleep because I had no fear of the storm - I knew that God would keep me safe. However if my cell phone would of rung I would of woke up. I think it was the same with Jesus. He had no fear of the storm and was at total peace through it, so He fell asleep and slept through it. I think it might of "rocked" Him to sleep even. However, when the disiples tried to wake Him up he awoke for them. Does this example help at all? prayon | ||||||
255 | Witches? | Ex 22:18 | prayon | 65323 | ||
Greetings and welcome to the forum! A witch is a person who practiced sorcery. Sorcery was punishable by death because it was a crime against God Himself. To invoke evil powers violated the first commmandment to "Have no other Gods". Sorcery was teaming up with Satan instead of God. Witchcraft is not a game. God would have all witches exterminated, so great is their degree of wickedness before Him. (KJV Commentary). prayon | ||||||
256 | Ex 23:19 and current Jewish cooking | Ex 23:19 | prayon | 77922 | ||
Greetings koko, There were many ceremonial laws as well as laws as what could be eaten and what could not (see Lev 11). All of these laws were under the old covenant. We are now under the new covenant and not responsible for keeping these laws. The boiling of a young goat had to do with a ritual that the Canaanites practiced. Since God did not want the Isrealites to practice any ritual of the Canaanites He outlawed this practice to make sure that it was not copied. prayon |

257 | lev. 8:8 info on urim thurim | Ex 28:30 | prayon | 90931 | ||
Greetings cmackey and welcome to the forum. The Strongs Dictionary of Greek and Hebrew words defines Urim (224) as lights, the oracular brilliancy. Thummim (8550) is defined as perfections, and is as emblem of complete Truth. We are not told how God revealed His will through the Urim and Thummim, but it evidently left no question in the High Priests mind of God's will in the matter. This is why the breastplate is known as the breastplate of Judgement. Urim and Thummim were a combination that represented God's perfect balance: balancing perception with forbearance, justice with pardon, judgement with mercy. All these perfections are manifested in Christ. In Christ we have the lights and the perfections of which Urim and Thummim were only a foreshadow. prayon |

258 | everyone saw the cloud and bowed down! | Ex 33:10 | prayon | 33651 | ||
Greetings Jascott; The pillar of cloud that came down and stood at the entrance to the tent was the same pillar of cloud that led the Isrealites out of Egypt and through the wilderness - it was the presence of God. Exodus 33:20 tells us that no one can see God's face and live. Joshua, I believe, was left at the tent as sort of a guard to see that it was not disturbed. prayon |
