Is this a humble man? foundationsforfreedom.net biblebb.com “NOW THE MAN MOSES WAS VERY HUMBLE, MORE THAN ANY MAN WHO WAS ON THE FACE OF THE EARTH (NUM 12:3); “HUMBLE YOURSELVES IN THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD, AND HE WILL EXALT YOU (JAM 4:10). 1) God gave him authority to speak before Pharaoh (EXO 3:10) a) He prophesied sacrifice at Horeb as authentication (EXO 3:12) b) He revealed the Name of God as authentication (EXO 3:13-15) c) He promised rejection from Pharaoh (EXO 3:19) 2) God gave him authority to speak before his people (EXO 3:16) a) He promised acceptance among the elders (EXO 3:18) b) He gave Moses authenticating miracles (EXO 4:2-9) c) He promised Moses help in convincing the people (EXO 4:12,15,16) i. He said He would help Moses speak ii. He said he would give Aaron as a helper 3) God said he would be a “deliverer” to his people (ACT 7:35) 3. He was compliant a. he made preparations to leave Midian and obey God (EXO 4:18) 1) he received permission to go from Jethro, his father-in-law (EXO 4:19) 2) he mounted his wife and sons on donkeys and began the journey to Egypt with the staff of God in his hand (EXO 4:20) 3) his son was circumcised on the way to Egypt (in obedience to God’s command to Abraham: EXO 4:24-26) a) an angel of the LORD met Moses on the road and sought to kill him because he had disobeyed God in regard to circumcision (EXO 4:24) b) Zipporah circumcised her son for Moses (EXO 4:25) b. he met Aaron in the wilderness as instructed (EXO 4:27-29) c. he sent his family back to the care of Jethro (EXO 18:2) d. he journeyed to Egypt (EXO 4:29) B. He was faithful (EXO- DEU; ACT 7:35- 38) “He was faithful as a servant in all God’s house” 1. He was faithful as a prophet a. he carried God’s word to Israel (EXO 4:29-31) 1) the people believed . 2) the people worshipped God b. he carried God’s word to Pharaoh (EXO 5-12) 1) Pharaoh rejected God’s word a) he persecuted Israel (EXO 5:6-9) i. he increased their work load (EXO 5:6-13) ii. he beat the Hebrew taskmasters (EXO 5:14) b) God judged Egypt and Pharaoh with 10 plagues 2) Pharaoh assented to God’s command (EXO 12:31,32) a) the people left in haste as prophesied (EXO 12:34) b) the people plundered the Egyptians (EXO 12:36) c. he spoke God’s word to the people in the desert (ACT 7:38) d. he wrote God’s words for the people (DEU 31:9) 1) he wrote down the book of the covenant and sprinkled it with blood (EXO 24:6,7; HEB9:19) 2) he wrote the 2nd ten commandments on tablets of stone (EXO 34:27,28) 3) he wrote and deposited a written copy of the Law with the priests for them to enforce (DEU 31:9-13) 4) he charged the priests to read the Law to the people periodically (DEU 31:9-11) Even Aaron criticized him! imo Aaron is a joke. He srews up constantly. The golden calf was his idea. The levites made out well considering Aaron's mistakes. This is a humble man? Yes, he is humble enough to do as he was told by God. And maybe all those souls he killed went to the "stupidity feast" of the afterlife and were happy there? You can't really pretend to know for sure, can you? We are lowly mortals. We cannot pretend to understand the will of God all the time. Judges 17 Then Manoah inquired of the angel of the LORD , "What is your name, so that we may honor you when your word comes true?" 18 He replied, "Why do you ask my name? It is beyond understanding." God's knowledge is so much greater than we can comprehend, that we can't even understand an angel's name. Moses was humble because he understood the vast shortcomings of our human condition.
