Introduction of Exodus (Holy Bible)

Aired February 21, 2011. Introduction of Exodus Moses wrote the majority of this book as well.  It is important to note that Jacob, now Israel, has 12 sons who will create the 12 tribes of the entire world of faith believers.  These are the names of the 12 sons that create the 12 tribes: 1. Reuben 2. Simeon 3. Levi 4. Judah 5. Issachar 6. Zebulun 7. Benjamin 8. Dan 9. Naphtali 10. Gad 11. Asher 12. Joseph There was only one daughter.  If it were not for Joseph's talent all of Egypt would have died.  After many generations of not telling these events, the people of Egypt had forgotten who saved them over 400 years ago. Or, the new Pharoah could have been a foreigner who won the land by bargains or trades.  It would have be very unusual for Egypt to have had an outsider rule over them. It is challenging to have a new president in our democratic society, but for these people to not remember Joseph I find absolutely amazing.  The new Pharoah felt threatened by the Hebrews; a now l

Book of Genesis Review

Aired February 7, 2011. Genesis in Greek means "virgin." It is believed a very intelligent man by the name of Moses wrote this book.  Moses' teaching, or written down scriptures helped to write other Old Testament books.  When God (Allah, Yaweh) allowed the Bible to be written, his mission was to allow all people to be able to read the scriptures. God created every thing in the beginning -the world, planets, animals, etc. The first humans shared gender equality in a sense; a male (Adam) and a female (Eve). There were angels in heaven before the creation of Adam and Eve.  Human beings are the only creatures who can go against God's authority by having the right to choose. Satan (Shaitan) was a supervisor of music sung by the heavenly angels.  He wanted to be God. God casted him out of heaven and he is no longer allowed to return.  Now, he travels the earth and hell seeking humans who go against God's instructions.  His mission is to kill, steal, and destroy hu

Book of Genesis: Chp. 44 -46

Aired January 24, 2011. Have you ever felt betrayed, or found guilty of some wrong doing? Yet, you were really innocent.  In Chp. 44 we read that Joseph was betrayed by his brothers. Now, to teach them a lesson he placed a silver cup in his youngest brother's sack.  A sack that he had requested for the family.  Benjamin had not been a part of the family secret.  The Egyptians and Hebrews lived separately.  If they had to gather for any reason the Egyptians would sit apart from the Hebrews.  Chp. 44 44:18 Notice Lord is not capitalized or upper cased.  You will only find an upper case "L" when making reference to God (Allah, Yahweh, or Jesus). Chp. 45 45:5 Do you suppose this is what Jesus says to faith believers? 45:21 Joseph is now the governor of Egypt and everything in it.  He respects his boss, and his position.  We must be like Joseph to understand our place or identity on the job.  This will allow us to build trust/loyalty/respect. Sometimes we may start at

Semi Review of the Book of Genesis

Aired January 24, 2011. Due to family jealousy, it took Jacob's family 400 years to reach the promise land that God (Yaweh, Allah) had promised to he and his family. The Egyptian culture accepted prophets; and, did not believe in priests.  They may have not believed in wearing a lot of human hair on the body either.  The Egyptians were known as a society that disliked other races, and social identities.  It must have been God to allow a white Hebrew named Joseph to become governor of Egypt.  This translation tells us not to take it personally when others do not like you.  It may be just their cultural views or traditions. Jacob's family were the first Jews: Sons of Leah, Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Zebulan, and Joseph equalling a total family tree of 70.  Seven is the biblical number of completion; nothing needs to be added, or changed in the making of the first Jews. Lastly, the first man and woman were created on the continent of Africa.  Africans and Arabi
