CHAPTER 16: "MOSES"

How often have heard the expression that the “Jews are the chosen people.” My response to that is “chosen for what?” Chosen to be brutally exterminated in Europe during World War II, chosen to betray Jesus Christ, chosen to be professional business executives? The reason why Jewish people are said to be “chosen” is that God chose Moses as his first Messenger and to lead the Jewish people out of bondage in Egypt.

Ask a survivor of a Nazi concentration camp whether Jewish people are God’s chosen ones. A documentary was produced by Steven Speilberg in which some of those liberated from the camps were interviewed. One woman said that while being a prisoner in Auschwitz she gave up her belief in God, for how could a being of pure love allow this inhumanity to happen. When the camp was liberated by the Russians she realized that God had nothing to do with the atrocities. Man was the one who was to blame.
Who created the Jewish religion? Was it Moses? Was it Abraham? Isaac? What we do know, or at least what I have been told, is that Judaism was the first “organized” religion. Judaism is not the religion or God, nor is Christianity. God has no religion, for as we mentioned before, man created religion. This was not part of God’s “job.”

In actuality, Moses was not born 100% Hebrew. He was born to the daughter of the pharaoh, Ramses I. It was the father of Moses who was Hebrew. This was never made public knowledge because in Egypt, at that time, Hebrews were all slaves. But Moses’ father was from the House of Joseph. Also, if it became known that the princess was neither married nor selected a Hebrew as the father of child, it would have been disastrous, her being royalty.

Moses found out that his natural father was a slave, so he, too, was a slave. That is the reason he left Egypt and not because his life was threatened by the Pharaoh. He was released to roam the desert because he fell in love with Nefertiti, who was to be wed to Ramses II. Ramses knew of the love Moses had and was very jealous.

Moses was a very wise man, but he was not one who had the ability to put into words his thoughts. Also, he had a speech impediment: he stuttered. He appointed his older brother, Aaron, to be his spokesman, and Aaron became the first high priest of the Israelites. It was actually Aaron, guided by Moses, who persuaded the Pharaoh of Egypt to make free all the Israelite slaves, but it certainly was Moses who led then out of Egypt.

While wandering in the desert, Moses was visited by angels who told him that he was a Messenger sent by God. He was to lead his people out of bondage in Egypt. The Bible describes the parting of the Red Sea so that the Hebrews could cross it. The sea did not part, but rather Moses created such great energy that the people were able to walk across the water on top of it. For a sea to part would be against the laws of nature, and that would cause a negative effect on this Universe. Many of those who crossed had such great faith in and love for Yahweh (the name God was given at the time) that their combined energy allowed even those who lacked the faith to cross. Naturally, the Egyptians lacked this energy and so they all drown in the sea.

There was no “burning bush” when Moses communicated with God. This communication was by telepathic means. Why would God destroy something alive? A bush has a life. Was there a hand of God that created the tablets which had the Ten Commandments? Moses listened to God’s communication and wrote on the tablets. In actuality, there were 12 Commandments, not 10.

Moses stayed on top of the mountain for about a year. His people were getting bored waiting for him; hence, their faith was threatened. God is always testing us to see the decisions we make when given a choice. This was no different. The Hebrews chose the wrong course of action, and because their faith now was non-existent, they created a false idol to pray to. One who retained faith was the daughter of the Pharaoh, the mother of Moses, who had left Egypt and roamed the desert. She believed in her son.

When Moses finally returned to his people, what did he see? He was faced with so many non-believers who had created a false idol. This created such anger within him that he destroyed the tablets holding the 12 Commandments. Eventually, all but two were returned to him.

Moses housed these Commandments in a chest which we commonly refer to as “The Arc of the Covenant.” Many have searched for the chest, but all hunts proved unsuccessful. Adolph Hitler made several attempts to find the Arc, but to no avail. Hitler knew that the one who finds this chest would have the power of God. The Arc of the Covenant will not be discovered until after The Shift.

Were there plagues placed by God on the Egyptians. Yes, there were plagues, but not because the Creator of this Universe placed His/Her wrath on the people. At first, a volcano erupted, which caused the Red Sea to turn the color of red. It was not blood! It was the residue of the volcano erupting which caused this color. Frogs left the waters and went ashore. All those frogs attracted lice, flies, locusts. Rats started to cover the lands, and the rats brought disease among the people, but the Hebrews, unlike the Egyptians, were very healthy, so they were immune.

Did God display his wrath? Yes, this was done with He/She sent the “Angel of Death.” The Israelites did, in fact, paint the doorways of this homes and this caused the “Angel of Death” to pass by without destroying the lives within those homes. But it was not only the first born of Egypt who died. Fifty percent of the population died. Moses never told the Pharaoh that the first born of Egypt would die. Moses foretold what he “saw.” And he saw that many would die.

Moses wandered in the desert for many years, trying to locate the place where God had chosen for them to settle. For the first time, his faith was being tested by God. In his lifetime, Moses never discovered this “chosen land,” and that was because of his wavering faith. It was Joshua who led the Israelites to their new “home.”
