In Jesus days of earthly ministry, the binded bible book you carry today was allien to them. What is important is the writings of the bible. There is nothing as cool as electronic bible. You can have 25 different translation in that small tablet of yours together with comentries and other study mateials like bible dictionary. Am sure if you try that with the paper type, one huge brief case won't contain them.

Its not about how many preachers are allowed to preach in four services in a sunday. It is the quality of the messages that are served to audience in these services. When it comes to sound and edifying doctrine, Daystar won't even be named.

Many of those pastors are enjoying seeing their unclothedness. You run away from the street because of indecent dressing and you run into the church to realise that its even worse there.

Please Jehovah witness in the house, i have a question for you.
Is there any difference between the name of Jehovah and the name of Jesus Christ.

The most stupid comment i ever heard someone made was that death gave birth to life. That is stupidity of the highest level. Same with someone saying darkness gave birth to light. Education can never help the spiritual condition of a natural man.

You can check your fast idle valve. It may need a little adjustment. The adjustment can also be done via the throtle cable. Any of these two will bring down the idle speed to about 800/900 rpm

psalm 53;1.

@simplex2, Your ignorance knows no bounds. He comes in his kingdom in the heart of rebbelious sinner and he reigns in his kingdom in the heart of saved sinners . His kingdom ain't physical but spiritual and that prophecy came to pas on the day of pentecost. You better drop your weapon of warfare and bow to the master Jesus before he comes.
When is Christ coming back?
Simple. When his saints have all come to repentance from their old nature and have been totally cleansed by his blood. We are the saints and we are still going through that process of daily sanctification until we come to the same unity of faith unto the measure of statue of Christ. Simple.

This pastor david sounds familair. All these testimonies resembles the ones i hear all the time when i was attending a certain church in ota.
Only that have not heard anything about the miracle mantle!

The glory of God is the beauty of His spirit. It is not an aesthetic beauty or a material beauty, but it is the beauty that emanates from His character, from all that He is. James 1:10 calls on a rich man to “glory in his humiliation,” indicating a glory that does not mean riches or power or material beauty. This glory can crown man or fill the earth. It is seen within man and in the earth, but it is not of them; it is of God. The glory of man is the beauty of man’s spirit, which is fallible and eventually passes away, and is therefore humiliating—as the verse tells us. But the glory of God, which is manifested in all His attributes together, never passes away. It is eternal. Isaiah 43:7 says that God created us for His glory. In context with the other verses, it can be said that man “glorifies” God because through man, God’s glory can be seen in things such as love, music, heroism and so forth— things belonging to God that we are carrying “in jars of clay” ( 2 Corinthians 4:7 ). We are the vessels which “contain” His glory. All the things we are able to do and to be find their source in Him. God interacts with nature in the same way. Nature exhibits His glory. His glory is revealed to man’s mind through the material world in many ways, and often in different ways to different people. One person may be thrilled by the sight of the mountains, and another person may love the beauty of the sea. But that which is behind them both (God’s glory) speaks to both people and connects them to God. In this way, God is able to reveal Himself to all men, no matter their race, heritage or location. As Psalm 19:1-4 says, “The heavens are telling of the glory of God and their expanse is declaring the work of His hands; day to day pours forth speech, and night to night reveals knowledge. There is no speech, nor are there words; their voice is not heard. Their line has gone out through all the earth, and their utterances to the end of the world.” Psalm 73:24 calls heaven itself “glory.” It used to be common to hear Christians talk of death as being “received unto glory,” which is a phrase borrowed from this Psalm. When the Christian dies, he will be taken into God’s presence, and in His presence will be naturally surrounded by God’s glory. We will be taken to the place where God’s beauty literally resides—the beauty of His Spirit will be there, because He will be there. Again, the beauty of His Spirit (or the essence of Who He Is) is His “glory.” In that place, His glory will not need to come through man or nature, rather it will be seen clearly, just as 1 Corinthians 13:12 says, “For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face; now I know in part, but then I shall know fully just as I also have been fully known.” In the human/earthly sense, glory is a beauty or vibrancy that rests upon the material of the earth ( Psalm 37:20 , Psalm 49:17 ), and in that sense, it fades. But the reason it fades is that material things do not last. They die and wither, but the glory that is in them belongs to God, and returns to Him when death or decay takes the material. Think of the rich man mentioned earlier. The verse says, “The rich man is to glory in his humiliation, because like flowering grass he will pass away.” What does this mean? The verse is admonishing the rich man to realize that his wealth and power and beauty come from God, and to be humbled by the realization that it is God who makes him what he is, and gives him all he has. And the knowledge that he will pass away like the grass is what will bring him to the realization that God is the one from whom glory comes. God’s glory is the source, the wellspring from which all smaller glories run. Since God is the one from whom glory comes, He will not let stand the assertion that glory comes from man or from the idols of man or from nature. In Isaiah 42:8 , we see an example of God’s jealousy over His glory. This jealousy for His own glory is what Paul is talking about in Romans 1:21-25 when he speaks of the ways people worship the creature rather than the Creator. In other words, they looked at the object through which God’s glory was coming, and, instead of giving God the credit for it, they worshiped that animal or tree or man as if the beauty it possessed originated from within itself. This is the very heart of idolatry and is a very common occurrence. Everyone who has ever lived has committed this error at one time or another. We have all “exchanged” the glory of God in favor of the “glory of man.” This is the mistake many people continue to make: trusting in earthly things, earthly relationships, their own powers or talents or beauty, or the goodness they see in others. But when these things fade and fail as they will inevitably do (being only temporary carriers of the greater glory), these people despair. What we all need to realize is that God’s glory is constant, and as we journey through life we will see it manifest here and there, in this person or that forest, or in a story of love or heroism, fiction or non-fiction, or our own personal lives. But it all goes back to God in the end. And the only way to God is through His Son, Jesus Christ. We will find the very source of all beauty in Him, in heaven, if we are in Christ. Nothing will be lost to us. All those things that faded in life we will find again in Him.

Irrelevant!

To “glorify” God means to give glory to Him. The word glory as related to God in the Old Testament bears with it the idea of greatness of splendor. In the New Testament, the word translated “glory” means "dignity, honor, praise and worship." Putting the two together, we find that glorifying God means to acknowledge His greatness and give Him honor by praising and worshiping Him, primarily because He, and He alone, deserves to be praised, honored and worshipped. God’s glory is the essence of His nature, and we give glory to Him by recognizing that essence. The question that comes to mind is if God has all the glory, which He does, how then do we “give Him” glory? How can we give God something which is His in the first place? The key is found in 1 Chronicles 16:28-29 , “Ascribe to the LORD, O families of nations, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength, ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name. Bring an offering and come before him; worship the LORD in the splendor of his holiness.” In this verse, we see two actions on our part that make up the action of glorifying God. First, we “ascribe” or give glory to Him because it is His due. No one else deserves the praise and worship that we give to glorify Him. Isaiah 42:8 confirms this: "I am the LORD; that is my name! I will not give my glory to another or my praise to idols.” Second, we are to “bring an offering” to God as part of the worship that glorifies Him. What is the offering we bring to God to glorify Him? The offering we bring to God as we come before Him in the splendor or beauty of His holiness involves agreement, obedience, submission, and rehearsing His attributes or extolling Him. Glorifying God begins with agreeing with everything He says, especially about Himself. In Isaiah 42:5 , God declares, “I am the Lord God. I created the heavens like an open tent above. I made the earth and everything that grows on it. I am the source of life for all who live on this earth, so listen to what I say.” Because of who He is, holy and perfect and true, His proclamations and statutes are holy and perfect and true ( Psalm 19:7 ), and we glorify Him by listening to and agreeing with them. God’s Word, the Bible, is His Word to us, all that we need for life in Him. Listening to and agreeing with Him, though, will not glorify Him unless we also submit to Him and obey the commands contained in His Word. “But from everlasting to everlasting the LORD's love is with those who fear him, and his righteousness with their children's children— with those who keep his covenant and remember to obey his precepts” ( Psalm 103:17-18 ). Jesus reiterated the idea that glorifying and loving God are one and the same in John 14:15 : “If you love me, you will obey what I command.” We also glorify God by rehearsing His attributes and His deeds. Stephen, in his final sermon before he was killed for his faith, retold the story of God’s dealings with Israel from the time Abraham left his country in obedience to God’s command, all the way to the coming of Christ, the “Righteous One,” whom Israel betrayed and murdered. When we tell of God’s work in our lives, how He saved us from sin, and the marvelous works He does in our hearts and minds every day, we glorify Him before others. Even though others don’t always want to hear our glorifying God, He is more than pleased by it. The crowd who heard Stephen hated what he said, covering their ears and rushing at him to stone him. “But Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit, looked up to heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God” ( Acts 7:55 ). To glorify God is to extol His attributes—His holiness, faithfulness, mercy, grace, love, majesty, sovereignty, power, and omniscience, to name a few— rehearsing them over and over in our minds and telling others about the singular nature of the salvation only He offers

What was the sin of the rich fool? Wanting to spend the money he made by his on hand to please only himself(self centeredness) and he never taught of giving part of it to help the poor and needy(getting rich towards God) The rich fool will always enrich himself to consume upon his beastly lust after materialism but they shy away from helping the poor in their community. Why would any pastor that is suppose to be teaching the congregation contemptness have 4 private jet to himself?

Materialism? Hey watch it! It is a deadly sin that slowly turns away the heart of one that follows God into running after the flashy things of tgis world and you all know what?
Materialism can never be satisfied The desire to own more and more keeps growing if not checked on time. The truth is that this vanities of 10m in another 20 years would have passed away and by then no body wants that your car that once cost you 10m cos it has passed away. 70% money could well have been spent to solve the problems of the poor. Materialism leads to greed and greed to covetiousness and on and on.
One of the major evil that hss destroyed our nation Nigeria is materialism. Everyone aspiring to go into government is doing it for just one reason. Acquire money and material poccession. Unfortunately the church which is suppose to be the light of the world is the number one culprit.
Has this pastors ever preached godliness with contempt?
I doubt.

Nawa oo. People just respond to question without reading their bible.
The demand of God's moral law on individuals is far different on the demands on Government and authority.
God's moral law for instance required that if someone slaps you on the left cheek, you should turn the right to him also but when it comes to how the government or the authority that breaks the law of the land for instance armed robbery. The moral law of God requires that the government or authority brings upon such individual the full punishment meat for that crime. An army serving the goverment and authority of the land has every obligation to that government to put to order those that are causing unrest to the nation that government is representing. Those serving in the nigerian army for instance have the obligation to fight boko haram with alms when neccesary in a quest to stop the act of terrorism of boko haram. The action of such army officer in this regard is on the order of the government of that nation. But if it is on individual level say for instance, i will be commiting a crime of muder if i kill someone based on my own decidion to do so.
An army serving is the military sole responsibilty is to defend his nation wether by the use of gun or other weapon assign to him to carry out his duty.
You can through God'd moral law in the book of leviticus.

Its so disheartning how so many churches in Nigeria are filled with false and quacked preachers. Its a resemblace of the state of the jewish nation in the days of jeremaiah.
Imagine going to church all the way from isolo to oregun on a sunday hoping to be edified and what the pastors climb the pulpit to preach is how to do business.
Churches in Nigeria had now turn into a place of manchadise and because people no longer endure sound doctrine, it makes the people so easy to deceive.
No wonder sin is abounding every where with too many half baked christians

Moses' Prophecy of Messiah
Jesus as the Prophet like unto Moses
by John J. Parsons
Like the patriarch Joseph before him, Moses was a "picture" of Yeshua in various significant ways. Though
he was a Jew from the tribe of Levi, he appeared as a "prince of Egypt" to his own people and was educated
in all the wisdom of the Egyptians ( Acts 7:22 ). And though he was God's chosen deliverer, Moses was
initially rejected by the Israelites and then turned to the Gentiles, taking a "foreign" bride. After being
severely tested in the desert, he was empowered by God's Spirit to become Israel's deliverer for their hour of
great tribulation. Indeed, both Moses and Yeshua were "sent from a mountain of God" to free Israel. Both
revealed the meaning of God's Name; both spoke with God "face to face." Moses was sent from (physical)
Mount Sinai in Midian; Yeshua was sent from a spiritual "Mount Zion" in Heaven (Heb. 12:22 ). The New
Testament relates that Moses and Elijah later met with Yeshua to discuss His "departure," literally, "His
Exodus" (τὴν ἔξοδον αὐτοῦ) that he would accomplish at Jerusalem to redeem the entire world ( Luke
9:30-31 ).
In the Torah, Moses foretold of the coming Messiah who would resemble him in many prodigious ways:
The LORD your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among you,
from your brothers - it is to him you shall listen. (Deut. 18:15 )
This verse is the only place in the entire Torah where Moses explicitly identifies himself as a prophet of the
LORD. Moreover, this is also the only passage where Moses identifies the coming of the Messiah as "a
Prophet like me" ( Deut 18:15; John 6:14 ).
In the New Testament we read that the soferim (scribes) had sent a delegation to question Yochanon the
Immerser (John the Baptist), asking him two questions:
"Are you Elijah?" ( John 1:21 ) - This referred to Malachi's prophecy ( Mal. 4:5 ) that Elijah would come as
a messenger before the appearance of the Messiah. To this day Jews around the world still set out a
cup of wine for Elijah at Passover - in anticipation of the his arrival as the forerunner of the Messiah.
"Are you the Prophet?" (John 1:21 ). This referred to Moses' prophecy that God would send "a Prophet
like me" (Deut. 18:15-19 ).
We further read that when Philip encountered Nathanael, he said, "We have found Him of whom Moses in
the law, and also the prophets, wrote - Yeshua minetzaret ben Yosef (Jesus of Nazareth, the son of
Joseph)" ( John 1:45 ). After Yeshua fed the five thousand, the people began to ask if this was " the Prophet
who is to come into the world" (John 6:14 ). Peter identified Yeshua as the Prophet (Acts 3:22-23 ), and in
his apologetic before the Sanhedrin, Stephen the martyr declared that Yeshua was the promised Messiah:
"This is that Moses who said to the children of Israel, 'The lord your God will raise up for you a Prophet like
me from your brethren. Him you shall hear.'" ( Acts 7:37-38 ).
Yeshua is the "Prophet Like Unto Moses"
In light of these passages of Scripture, here are thirty (30) ways in which Yeshua minetzeret ben Yosef
indeed resembled Moses:
1. Just as there were 400 years of silence before Adonai sent Moses to deliver Israel from her bondage to
Pharaoh, so there were 400 of years of silence before Adonai sent His own Son, Yeshua the Messiah, to
utterly deliver Israel from her ultimate bondage to sin and death.
2. Both Moses and Yeshua were sent from God ( Exod. 3:1-10; John 8:42 ).
3. Both Moses and Yeshua were Jews ( Exod. 2:1-2; Matt. 1:1-16; Luke 1-2; Heb. 7:14 ). (Note: This is no
small thing, since Muslims claim that Muhammad is the prophet Moses referred to here; which is
obviously incorrect, since the Mashiach must be a Jew - see John 4:24 ).
4. Both had faithful Jewish parents (Exod. 2:2; Heb. 11:23; Matt. 2:13-14 ).
5. Both were born under foreign rule ( Exod. 1:8-14; Luke 2:1 ).
6. Both were threatened by wicked kings (Exod. 1:15-16; Matt. 2:16 ).
7. Both Moses and Yeshua spent their early years in Egypt, miraculously protected from those who sought
their lives (Exod. 2:10; Matt. 2:14-15 ).
8. Both rejected the possibility to become rulers in this age. Moses was raised as a son in the royal family
and could have enjoyed a lavish lifestyle as a powerful ruler, but he chose differently (Heb. 11:24 );
Satan offered Yeshua the rule over the kingdoms of this world ( Matt. 4:8-9 ), but rejected that offer and
chose to suffer and die for the sake of the people of Israel.
9. Both Moses and Yeshua were "sent from a mountain of God" to free Israel. Moses was sent from
(physical) Mount Sinai in Midian, Arabia; Yeshua was sent from a spiritual "Mount Zion" in Heaven
(Heb. 12:22 ).
10. Both were initially rejected by the Jews ( Exod. 32:1; Isa. 53: 3; Matt. 27:21-2;
Rom. 11:25 ).
11. Both were accepted by Gentiles (Moses by the Midianites ( Exod. 2:14-22 ); Yeshua by the world (Acts
10:45; 1 Tim. 3:16 )).
12. Both were criticized by their families (Num. 12:1; Mark 3:20-21 ).
13. Both knew God panim l'panim (face to face). God spoke directly to both Moses and Yeshua ( Exod.
3:1-10; Deut. 34:10; Luke 9:34-36 ). All other prophets received their revelation by visions or dreams
(Deut. 34:10; John 1:18 ). Both were authoritative spokesmen for God (Matt. 17:5; John 3:34 ).
14. Both were teachers (Deut. 4:1-5; Matt. 22:16; John 3:2 ).
15. Both revealed God's Name (Exod. 3:13-14; John 17:6, 11-12 ).
16. Both were faithful to God (Num. 12:5-7; Heb. 3:1-2 ).
17. Both gave the people bread from Heaven ( Exod. 16:14-15; Matt. 14:19-20 ) and performed various
miracles (Exod. 4:21-8; Deut. 34:10-12; John 5:36; 12:37-8 ).
18. Both were appointed as saviors of Israel (Moses as Israel's deliverer from the bondage to Pharaoh;
Yeshua as Israel's deliverer from the bondage to Satan).
19. Both were shepherds of Israel (Moses led the Israelites through the wilderness (Exod. 3:1; Numbers),
Yeshua led His followers as the Good Shepherd (John 10:10-11; Matt. 9:36)).
20. Both were humble servants of the LORD (Num. 12:3; Luke 2:46-7; Phil. 2:8-9).
21. Both fasted for forty days in the wilderness (Exod. 34:28; Matt. 4:2).
22. Both were Mediators of a covenant of blood: Moses of the older covenant (Exod. 24:7-8 ) and Yeshua of
the new covenant (Matt. 26:26-28; Mark 14:24; Luke 22:20; Heb. 9:11-15; 1 Cor. 11:25; 2 Cor. 3:6 ).
23. Both offered to die on behalf of the people's sins ( Exod. 32:30-33; John 17 ).
24. Just as Moses instituted the LORD's Passover on Nisan 14 as the means by which the Angel of death
would pass over those Israelites who trusted in God's promise regarding the blood of the lamb ( Exod.
12:11-12 ), so Yeshua offered Himself as the sacrificial Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the
world ( John 1:29 ).
25. Just as Moses brought about the "resurrection" of the children of Israel as they passed through the Red
Sea; so Yeshua became the Firstfruits of resurrection as He rose from the dead.
26. Just as the Torah was given to Israel fifty days after the Exodus from Egypt (on Pentecost or Shavuot),
so Yeshua sent the Holy Spirit to form the Church fifty days after His resurrection.
27. Both of their faces shone with the glory of heaven - Moses on Mount Sinai ( Exod. 34:34-5 ) and Yeshua
on the Mount of Transfiguration ( Matt. 17:2 ).
28. As Moses lifted up the brazen serpent in the wilderness to heal his people (Num. 21:8-9 ); so Yeshua
was lifted up on the cross to heal all believers from their sin (John 12:32 ).
29. As Moses conquered the great enemy of Israel, the Amalekites with his upraised arms (Exod. 17:11 ), so
Yeshua conquered our ultimate enemy of sin and death by His upraised arms on the cross (John
19:18 ).
30. As Moses sent twelve spies to explore Canaan ( Num. 13 ), so Yeshua sent twelve apostles to reach the
world ( Matt. 10:1 ); and as Moses appointed seventy rulers over Israel (Num. 11:16-7 ), so Yeshua
anointed seventy disciples to teach the nations (Luke 10:1 ).
How, then, was Jesus a Prophet "like Moses"? Well, like Moses, he was a Jew, a Leader, a Prophet, a
Lawgiver, a Savior, a Teacher, a Priest, a Healer, an Anointed One, a Mediator between God and man --
speaking the words of God -- and like Moses, He offered himself to die for the sins of the people.

You came from a tadpole.

Has people that condemn the wearing of trousers by women ever read the history of trouser?
Its it right for men to wear a trouser made for women?
People that said the wearing of trouser by women are nothing but ignorant. The way Tshirts came to being that is it was first made for men then the women version was later made, so was the same with trouser. Wouldn't it be insane for any man to put on a trouser made for women? Won't that be an abomination to God? There are men trousers made for men alone and there are women trousers made for women alone and any man that goes ahead to put on that which is shaped for a lady is purely an (effeminate) which is why God forbid anything that partains to one sex to be used by another sex another. Do we all know that men in the bible where skirts? Why then are ladies today are not condemn for putting skirts on cos if we go down history how skirts came to been, we realised that it was first made for men.

The question you asked as as simple as a,b,c to answer. Adam(man) is the seed, federal head and the sole root where every other men came from. Adam means man. Who sinned in the garden against God? Man(Adam) did. Are you all men? if so then you all sin in that fedearal head. That sin brought a disfunction to the federal head(seed) which transmit downwards to every man. Is it hard for any man to comprehend how two parents that are SS to produce an offspring with a sickle cell disease? why was the disfuntuon transmitted downwards to the child?
For the wages of sin death(physical, spiritual and eternal) If we all disagree with the concept of original sin, why then does an infant die?
Does a two year old child had to learn how to be envious?
The bible says in genesis 6;5 that God saw the wickednesd of man and every of his imaginatin was evil continually.
Sin is a terrible virus that only has one cure which through the
blood of the last Adam(Jesus christ.

Note again that Christ was addressing those that have become the children of God by the virtue of the new birth during the sermon on the mount and not the pharisee which were still the children of satan.
That was why christ said we should let our light shine so that men will see the light and glorify God.

Is Jesus telling us to pluck off our physical eyes? Ofcos not. Jesus is only telling us that we should get rid of whatever will make us not enter the kingdom if God abd such things may be very dear to us. as precious as our eyes. It is called dying to oneself
The book of rev 12;11 says they lived not their lives even unto death.
Moreover, ist it christian like to avenge oneself of render evil for evil? Christ said 'my kingdom is not of this world. if my kingdom is of this world, then will my followers fight.
The gospel of christ teaches us to return good for evil.
The wrath of men work not the righteousness of God.

Hmnn! @ayoku777. unfortunately Jesus was not showing us how to live by the law. He was telling us to be like our heavenly father which was what he(Christ) came to conform us to. That is the nature of Christ and if we all want to live with Christ in heaven, then we must inherit this divine nature.
It is called the circumcition if the heart which is done by the power of the holy ghost taking the 10 commandments and writing it on the table of our heart to make us love his staues and not the giving of the law on the table of stones by moses.

jeremaiah 31;33, 1 corinthians
luke 18;14, 6;7. 2 corinthians 13;9. Heb 7;11.

Be ye perfect even as your father which is in heaven is perfect.

We worship the God of all the prophets of the bible. They worship the god?? of mohammed. They both have no similarity at all.

@mizmycoil. can you please give us a scriptural verse that shows that its sin for lsdies to wear trouser? we are waiting.

Yeshua is the "Prophet Like Unto Moses"
In light of these passages of Scripture, here are thirty (30) ways in which Yeshua minetzeret ben Yosef
indeed resembled Moses:
1. Just as there were 400 years of silence before Adonai sent Moses to deliver Israel from her bondage to
Pharaoh, so there were 400 of years of silence before Adonai sent His own Son, Yeshua the Messiah, to
utterly deliver Israel from her ultimate bondage to sin and death.
2. Both Moses and Yeshua were sent from God ( Exod. 3:1-10; John 8:42 ).
3. Both Moses and Yeshua were Jews ( Exod. 2:1-2; Matt. 1:1-16; Luke 1-2; Heb. 7:14 ). (Note: This is no
small thing, since Muslims claim that Muhammad is the prophet Moses referred to here; which is
obviously incorrect, since the Mashiach must be a Jew - see John 4:24 ).
4. Both had faithful Jewish parents (Exod. 2:2; Heb. 11:23; Matt. 2:13-14 ).
5. Both were born under foreign rule ( Exod. 1:8-14; Luke 2:1 ).
6. Both were threatened by wicked kings (Exod. 1:15-16; Matt. 2:16 ).
7. Both Moses and Yeshua spent their early years in Egypt, miraculously protected from those who sought
their lives (Exod. 2:10; Matt. 2:14-15 ).
8. Both rejected the possibility to become rulers in this age. Moses was raised as a son in the royal family
and could have enjoyed a lavish lifestyle as a powerful ruler, but he chose differently (Heb. 11:24 );
Satan offered Yeshua the rule over the kingdoms of this world ( Matt. 4:8-9 ), but rejected that offer and
chose to suffer and die for the sake of the people of Israel.
9. Both Moses and Yeshua were "sent from a mountain of God" to free Israel. Moses was sent from
(physical) Mount Sinai in Midian, Arabia; Yeshua was sent from a spiritual "Mount Zion" in Heaven
(Heb. 12:22 ).
10. Both were initially rejected by the Jews ( Exod. 32:1; Isa. 53: 3; Matt. 27:21-2;
Rom. 11:25 ).
11. Both were accepted by Gentiles (Moses by the Midianites ( Exod. 2:14-22 ); Yeshua by the world (Acts
10:45; 1 Tim. 3:16 )).
12. Both were criticized by their families (Num. 12:1; Mark 3:20-21 ).
13. Both knew God panim l'panim (face to face). God spoke directly to both Moses and Yeshua ( Exod.
3:1-10; Deut. 34:10; Luke 9:34-36 ). All other prophets received their revelation by visions or dreams
(Deut. 34:10; John 1:18 ). Both were authoritative spokesmen for God (Matt. 17:5; John 3:34 ).
14. Both were teachers (Deut. 4:1-5; Matt. 22:16; John 3:2 ).
15. Both revealed God's Name (Exod. 3:13-14; John 17:6, 11-12 ).
16. Both were faithful to God (Num. 12:5-7; Heb. 3:1-2 ).
17. Both gave the people bread from Heaven ( Exod. 16:14-15; Matt. 14:19-20 ) and performed various
miracles (Exod. 4:21-8; Deut. 34:10-12; John 5:36; 12:37-8 ).
18. Both were appointed as saviors of Israel (Moses as Israel's deliverer from the bondage to Pharaoh;
Yeshua as Israel's deliverer from the bondage to Satan).
19. Both were shepherds of Israel (Moses led the Israelites through the wilderness (Exod. 3:1; Numbers),
Yeshua led His followers as the Good Shepherd (John 10:10-11; Matt. 9:36)).
20. Both were humble servants of the LORD (Num. 12:3; Luke 2:46-7; Phil. 2:8-9).
21. Both fasted for forty days in the wilderness (Exod. 34:28; Matt. 4:2).
22. Both were Mediators of a covenant of blood: Moses of the older covenant (Exod. 24:7-8 ) and Yeshua of
the new covenant (Matt. 26:26-28; Mark 14:24; Luke 22:20; Heb. 9:11-15; 1 Cor. 11:25; 2 Cor. 3:6 ).
23. Both offered to die on behalf of the people's sins ( Exod. 32:30-33; John 17 ).
24. Just as Moses instituted the LORD's Passover on Nisan 14 as the means by which the Angel of death
would pass over those Israelites who trusted in God's promise regarding the blood of the lamb ( Exod.
12:11-12 ), so Yeshua offered Himself as the sacrificial Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the
world ( John 1:29 ).
25. Just as Moses brought about the "resurrection" of the children of Israel as they passed through the Red
Sea; so Yeshua became the Firstfruits of resurrection as He rose from the dead.
26. Just as the Torah was given to Israel fifty days after the Exodus from Egypt (on Pentecost or Shavuot),
so Yeshua sent the Holy Spirit to form the Church fifty days after His resurrection.
27. Both of their faces shone with the glory of heaven - Moses on Mount Sinai ( Exod. 34:34-5 ) and Yeshua
on the Mount of Transfiguration ( Matt. 17:2 ).
28. As Moses lifted up the brazen serpent in the wilderness to heal his people (Num. 21:8-9 ); so Yeshua
was lifted up on the cross to heal all believers from their sin (John 12:32 ).
29. As Moses conquered the great enemy of Israel, the Amalekites with his upraised arms (Exod. 17:11 ), so
Yeshua conquered our ultimate enemy of sin and death by His upraised arms on the cross (John
19:18 ).
30. As Moses sent twelve spies to explore Canaan ( Num. 13 ), so Yeshua sent twelve apostles to reach the
world ( Matt. 10:1 ); and as Moses appointed seventy rulers over Israel (Num. 11:16-7 ), so Yeshua
anointed seventy disciples to teach the nations (Luke 10:1 ).
How, then, was Jesus a Prophet "like Moses"? Well, like Moses, he was a Jew, a Leader, a Prophet, a
Lawgiver, a Savior, a Teacher, a Priest, a Healer, an Anointed One, a Mediator between God and man --
speaking the words of God -- and like Moses, He offered himself to die for the sins of the people.
