Moses : (14th -13th cent BC) the greatest lawgiver of Israel, he led his people out of bondage in Egypt to the edge of Canaan. God promulgated the Law through Moses, not only the Ten Commandments & the criminal code, but the whole liturgical law as well. The Law he promulgated is called the Mosaic Law. “The power to observe law rigidly is the basis of freedom; therefore in most disciplines the soul has to endure & fulfil the law in its lower members before it can rise to the perfect freedom of its divine being. Those disciplines which begin with freedom are only for the mighty ones who are naturally free or in former lives have founded their freedom.” ― “The double law of sin & virtue is imposed on us because we have not that ideal life & knowledge within, which guides the soul spontaneously & infallibly to its self-fulfilment. The law of sin & virtue ceases for us when the sun of God shines upon the soul in truth & love with its unveiled splendour. Moses is replaced by Christ, the Shāstra by the Veda.” [SABCL 17:98-99]
... when he separates two Hebrew slaves who are fighting, one of them angrily taunts Moses that it is known that Moses had killed the Egyptian. Moses immediately understands that he is in danger. And indeed Pharaoh orders Moses killed, so he flees to Midian, and thus ends his princely life. Even as he flees, Moses once more shows his strong sense of justice. He comes to a well where several shepherds... thirty days; then the period of mourning for Moses was ended. 9 Joshua son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom, because Moses had laid his hands on him; and the Israelites obeyed him, doing as the Lord had commanded Moses. 10 Never Page 108 since has there arisen a prophet in Israel like Moses, whom the Lord knew face to face. 11 He was unequaled for all the signs and wonders that the Lord... found in the Torah given to the Jewish people through Moses after they escaped from the bondage in Egypt. This series of events is essential to understand if the reader is to understand Jesus. Therefore, this essay will also introduce Moses, the escape from bondage in Egypt and the giving of the Law. The greatest Actor in that drama is God, with Moses being His messenger. Jesus said that he had not ...
... Jesus identifies his work with the work of Moses (see Appendix), but on a higher level of consciousness: "If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath in order that the law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with me because I healed a man's whole body on the Sabbath?" John 7:23) John can thus state: "The Law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ"... prepared to yield. God tells Moses, to tell the people, 15 "The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me (Moses) from among you, from your brethren — him you shall heed." (Deut. 18:15-22) In the New Testament and in later Christian writers, the prophet-to-come is taken to be Jesus. We are to take Jesus as the one Prophet in whom the teaching of Moses was fulfilled and yet superseded... John 3:1) In The Sermon on the Mount, we see Jesus ascend the mountain to give a new law to his people just as Moses went up Mt. Sinai to receive the Torah, the Law, from God. In John's Gospel, we can see Jesus' connection to Moses emphasized: "The Law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ". (John 1:17) According to the New Testament, the obedience that ...

On the other hand, following the Albright school, if Ramses II was ruling during the Exodus and Seti I was the Pharaoh of the Oppression, Moses would have to be born in 1373 to be 80... when Page 187 we recall that she is supposed to have been one of the Mother's avatars - to show that Moses' monotheism had its roots in the new religion of Amon that she established, merging all the temples into a single organisation.

Passover (See also Appendix: Moses and above, Last Supper) Even to this day, one of the most important celebrations in the Judaic religious calendar is Passover.

Since the story... story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden (see note on The Fall), as well as God's revealing himself to humanity.

Elijah appeared to them with Moses, and they were talking with Jesus" (9:2-4). 159 Matthew 17:1-3 and Luke 9:28-31 tell the same story. Luke has even a phrase - "Moses and Elijah appearing in glory" (verses 30-31) 160 - in accord with the general Pauline "what is raised is glorious" (1 Corinthians... What Brown has explicated shows that Luke's forty days are part of a deliberately constructed pattern to evoke in the Christian mind of the 80s or 90s a sense of divine continuity from the epoch of Moses. They have no historical value, whereas Paul is giving us concrete history. Uneasiness over the forty days can be caused by a comparison of the very pair of books ascribed to the same author:... side by side with the idea of the dead rising at the world's end, the Jews harboured the idea of God placing his sign of approval upon a particular worthy individual by exalting him bodily to heaven: "Moses, Elijah, and Enoch are all thought in various strands of Jewish tradition to have been exalted to heaven." But exaltation really meant "translation": the person exalted was "assumed" into heaven without ...
