How do you know? That comes later.
Is Kelsey Grammer playing Moses?
The story of the patriarch Joseph comes in Genesis before the story of Moses which begins in Exodus. You may be thinking of Joseph in the New Testament.
I've long been fascinated by angels, and believe they've been, and continue to be sent to intervene in both sweeping historical events and in the lives of ordinary people far more often than we might think.
While I don't give them the full force of Holy writ, two of the most credible contemporary stories of what might be described as angelic intervention involved characters with the appearance of a German shepherd and Jimi Hendrix. I suspect that angels take on the appearance of whatever God needs them to.
the production is powerful! the acting very good.
This will get to a lot of people to think about the Bible..people who are Christian and also those who have left the faith or have no faith. If it can do this for some people..great.
“No mention of Ishamel being a wild ass of a man raising his hand against all other nations (a kotow to Islam).”
Ishmael was not the progenitor of the Arab peoples.

I may have made a mistake but anytime the “History Channel” does a program in which there is the chance for political correctness, they always go for the PC version. therefore I don’t want to get irritated so have quit watching those type shows.
They do some good shows when it is simply history.
I just ran across it at about 9:54....so I missed most of it tonight...but skipping the story of Joseph? That’s very foundational to a lot of stuff going forward, not to mention a beautiful story...
..and sometimes they are the very essence of God, as with the burning bush encounter.
I’m watching that part right now. I’m scratching my head. Is this to appeal to the modern audience? If so....I don’t know what to think.
You're setting an awfully high bar for today's population! ;^)
Right, humanly speaking, there can be no Exodus, which it did cover, without Genesis ending with Joseph’s body in a coffin in Egypt.
It was the average entertainment...I thought many liberties taken to tell a plain story.
Sarah was way too young. Ishmael never taunted Sarah and issac. The bible doesn’t tell of Moses learning he was adopted....way too much made up stuff.
It was a little worse that I hoped for. I won’t watch the rest...
they interrupted their UFO programming? and their marathon about that vulgar bunch of fat a$$es that run a sleazy pawn shop in our modern day sodom and gomorrah?
It says in Exodus that Moses went out to be with his brethren. This would indicate that he was fully aware of his Israeli roots. Much of his first 40 years is not known, and anything we do know comes from extra Biblical soruces and Islamic sources.
This movie like many including"Jesus of Nazareth, The Greatest Story Ever Told, The Ten Commandments, and one of my favorites "Gospel Road" will not cover all bases nor can they in time constraints. They also didn't show Lot or Noah getting drunk.
Still it may be perhaps enough to get people thinking. I'd say the best of this series is yet to be seen. A movie I don't expect to be word for word nor exact. For example I don't think Joshua was born when the actual Exodus began or if he was he wasn't of the age of accountability. The generation that rebelled against GOD in the wilderness did not see The Promised Land.
If you want accuracy 100% The bible is the only place and truth comes Spirit Lead. But we also have to remember many of the early converts to Christianity were not saved by someone reading written scripture but rather by word of mouth accounts of witnesses. Scrolls were few and far between. Yet The Word Of GOD in truth will remain intact.
My family membersat that watched it loved it. I plan to watch a later broadcast.
Consider the audience and have some grace.
