Moses

The Ten Commandments serve as the fundamental moral laws of Judaism and Christianity. According to the Hebrew Bible (known to Christians as the Old Testament), Moses received the Ten Commandments directly from God on Mount Sinai. He smashed the tablets upon returning from the top of the mountain when he found that the Israelites had begun to worship a golden calf. The Dutch baroque artist Rembrandt captured the wrath of Moses in his painting, Moses Smashing the Commandments (1659). See Moses.

A Glimpse of Moses 

Moses was an early Biblical Hebrew religious leader, lawgiver, prophet, and military leader, to whom the authorship of the Torah is traditionally attributed. He is also an important prophet in Christianity, Islam and the Bahá'í Faith. Moses and the 10 CommandmentsAccording to the Book of Exodus, Moses was born to a Hebrew mother who hid him when a Pharaoh ordered all newborn Hebrew boys to be killed, and ended up being adopted into the Egyptian royal family. After killing an Egyptian slave master, he fled and became a shepherd, and was later commanded by God to deliver the Hebrews from slavery. After the Ten Plagues were unleashed on Egypt, he led the Hebrew slaves out of Egypt, through the Red Sea, and in the desert for 40 years. Despite living to 120, he did not enter the Land of Israel, as he disobeyed God when God Moses Being Assisted in Battle by Aaron and Hurinstructed him on how to bring forth water from a rock in the desert.


The Book of Exodus begins many years after the close of the Book of Genesis, at the end of which the Israelites were dwelling in relative harmony with the native Egyptians in the Land of Goshen, the eastern part of the Nile Delta. Sometime during the interval, the Egyptians became hostile to the Israelites and enslaved them. According to the Book of Exodus, Moses was a son of Amram, a member of the Levite tribe of Israel, having descended from Jacob, and his wife Jochebed. Jochebed (also Yocheved) was also the sister of Amram's father Kohath. (Exodus vi 20) Aaron was Moses' elder brother. According to Genesis 46:11, Amram's father Kohath immigrated to Egypt with 70 of Jacob's household, making Moses part of the second generation of Israelites born during their time in Egypt.

Moses Parts the Sea - Behold, the power of God

For a better version of this, see the other vid I've made... One Republic Apologize - God's Power - Moses Parts The Sea This clip is edited and accompanied by medleys, the first of which is from King Kong, and the second from the 'Forces of Nature'. It's nothing too fancy but please leave your comment on this historical event. This version of Exodus was broadcast by ABC as a miniseries. It was a wonderful depiction showing God's 'wonders' in setting at liberty his chosen people. Please rate and leave a comment, and where you're from. Thanks!

Is God Real? 

The Power of God in History - Part 1 of 3

http://tomorrowsworld.org/index.shtml The theory of evolution has led many to believe that there is no God. Others believe that God created the universe and then let evolution proceed without Him. Supposedly, "God is now out of the picture and He has nothing to do with the history or future of mankind." Those individuals will soon be shocked! Agnostics and atheists will tremble to their toenails when God shakes the heavens and the earth. You need to understand the power of God. A presentation of the truth by Richard F. Ames and the Living Church of God. As seen throughout the entire world on Tomorrow's World Program.
