God's Plan For Man html

Historical events are repeated, meaning mankind makes similar mistakes until evil is brought to its proper conclusion and defeated. The message is always the same and should become clearer because deliverance and salvation are essential. Man, mere man, will overcome and defeat evil at a precise time. In that time, Moses was spared and saved for a purpose. It becomes glaringly obvious as to why he was not among the first-born Pharaoh killed. “One day, after Moses had grown up, he went out to where his own people were and watched them at their hard labor. He saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, one of his own people. Glancing this way and that and seeing no one, he killed the Egyptian and hid him in the sand. The next day he went out and saw two Hebrews fighting. He asked the one in the wrong, ‘Why are you hitting your fellow Hebrew?’ The man said, ‘Who made you ruler and judge over us? Are you thinking of killing me as you killed the Egyptian?’ Then Moses was afraid and thought, ‘What I did must have become known.’” (Exodus 2:11–14) The injustice of evil caused Moses to react and to kill, and then it accused him, causing him to flee. Again, pain and suffering are the catalyst for action and a need for deliverance. Moses left Egypt and found peace in the land of Midian to spiritually find a hidden value within him, and to prepare to serve and comprehend what God would ask of him. Moses had to make a personal decision: either stay in Midian and enjoy a peaceful life, or accept what appeared to be the hard way and confront the Pharaoh. Perhaps Moses understood more clearly, having stood before God in the burning bush. Certainly he could not deny the experience or truth of the injustices among the Hebrews. Separated from his royal way of life, he chose to deliver the Jews without knowing precisely how. “Now Moses was tending the flock of Jethro, his father-in-law, the priest of Midian, and he led the flock to the far side of the desert and came to Horeb, the mountain of God. There the angel of the LORD appeared to him in flames of fire from within a bush. Moses saw that though the bush was on fire, it did not burn up. So Moses thought, ‘I will go over and see this strange sight—why the bush does not burn up.’”
