The Founder of Israel

Moses was quite possibly the greatest man to ever live, second only to Jesus, who was both God and man. Moses was conceived with a death sentence over his head because of Pharaoh’s decree to kill all male Hebrew babies; yet God chose him to be the man that would free the children of Israel from slavery, take them into an uninhabitable desert and forge them into a law based nation.

God prepared Moses for this gigantic task by educating him in royal palace of Egypt where he learned to govern as a political leader, set up a court system, feed the people and the training of an army. Then he spent another forty years in the desert under the guidance of Jethro, who taught him the story of the creation, the events that took place before the flood and the chronicles of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

The resulting five books which begin the Old Testament are the basis for the New Testament and the foundation of law in western nations. Moses’ life is positive example what God will do with a man who gives himself up wholly to Him.
