Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem








Character Studies From The Bible







Moses

New International Version (NIV)

3 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 wilderness and came to Horeb, the mountain of God. 2 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. 3 So Moses thought, “I will go over and see this strange sight—why the bush does not burn up.”

4 When the Lord saw that he had gone over to look, God called to him from within the bush, “Moses! Moses!”

And Moses said, “Here I am.”

5 “Do not come any closer,” God said. “Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground.” 6 Then he said, “I am the God of your father,[a] the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.” At this, Moses hid his face, because he was afraid to look at God.

7 The Lord said, “I have indeed seen the misery of my people in Egypt. I have heard them crying out because of their slave drivers, and I am concerned about their suffering. 8 So I have come down to rescue them from the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land into a good and spacious land, a land flowing with milk and honey—the home of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites. 9 And now the cry of the Israelites has reached me, and I have seen the way the Egyptians are oppressing them. 10 So now, go. I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring my people the Israelites out of Egypt.”

11 But Moses said to God, “Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?”

12 And God said, “I will be with you. And this will be the sign to you that it is I who have sent you: When you have brought the people out of Egypt, you[b] will worship God on this mountain.”

13 Moses said to God, “Suppose I go to the Israelites and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they ask me, ‘What is his name?’ Then what shall I tell them?”

14 God said to Moses, “I am who I am.[c] This is what you are to say to the Israelites: ‘I am has sent me to you.’”

15 God also said to Moses, “Say to the Israelites, ‘The Lord,[d] the God of your fathers—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob—has sent me to you.’

“This is my name forever,
    the name you shall call me
    from generation to generation.

16 “Go, assemble the elders of Israel and say to them, ‘The Lord, the God of your fathers—the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob—appeared to me and said: I have watched over you and have seen what has been done to you in Egypt. 17 And I have promised to bring you up out of your misery in Egypt into the land of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites—a land flowing with milk and honey.’

18 “The elders of Israel will listen to you. Then you and the elders are to go to the king of Egypt and say to him, ‘The Lord, the God of the Hebrews, has met with us. Let us take a three-day journey into the wilderness to offer sacrifices to the Lord our God.’ 19 But I know that the king of Egypt will not let you go unless a mighty hand compels him. 20 So I will stretch out my hand and strike the Egyptians with all the wonders that I will perform among them. After that, he will let you go.

21 “And I will make the Egyptians favorably disposed toward this people, so that when you leave you will not go empty-handed. 22 Every woman is to ask her neighbor and any woman living in her house for articles of silver and gold and for clothing, which you will put on your sons and daughters. And so you will plunder the Egyptians.”

The Guards and many of the towns people Eishhower had moving and burying bodies also died from handling diseased bodies.

But i believe he did the right thing making them do so...after all it was there doing....rather than risk our boys from doing so.

I’m familiar with that...and am sceptical ....the reason is there are people who are just plane drawn to evil...their personality gravitates so as does their temperment.

What little I know of the guards and also the leadership in the NaziSystem is that “belief” paid a major role from the get go...

I have always said... and will til I’m no longer here.....it matters what you ‘believe’ in as much as what you don’t ‘believe’ in. ..and where you put that belief....which is far more powerful then conditioning.

Here's the German Townspeople being led on forced tour through the camp....when they were told they'd be "visiting" the camps they thought they were being "Honored"....as they walked up the road they were all smiles and proud at the camera's.....until Eisnhower showed them what their leadership was doing for the sake of their country.

I’m not sure...there was a Magazine that Hitler had published with photos such as this full of propoganda photos similar...he even brought people in off the street of the Gettos if they were dressed well and forced them to sit at tables smiling so he would have a photo of people enjoying themselves.....same with kids on play grounds etc.

Not many realize the enormous effort and planning that went into this entire orchestrated massacure of the Jews....many of the commanders at these camps were highly educated individuals...degrees and some with more than one. They would have to be in order to keep it running as it did.

Warsaw 'Concentration" Camp....

It's good to remember that 'Concentration' camps were the first step of the Nazi plan...these were holding tanks, (Concentrating the Jews into one area for later transport once the work camps and extermination camps were built)..that's what the Gettos were.......

The "work" camps were the 'transitioning' camps , where they worked them (often to build the camps and railways) til the couldn't work.. and if they survived that they were then sent for Extermination at the 'death camps'.

Auschwitz was the crem-del-a cream from the Nazi's Perspective.. because it had all three thus more efficient and less time consumming....that's where the speration took place as it was done....woman and children were taken for extermination immediately. LEaving only the men to work the camp where needed...like the furnaces, removing bodies etc. and overseeing that "order" was understood.

The work was brutal...many died just from the work load at the work camps....and the pace they were forced to endure...some of the witnesses said the Jews had to work VERY fast and if they slowed down they were shot or beaten....

So you see the system was entirely designed to get the most benifit out of the inmate workers in getting the camps and railways built by them....so the Nazi's could carry out the ultimate purpose for it all... the annilation of the Jews entirely from Germany and throughout Europe.

And don’t think for a minute with all of the Jews in this country, that Hitler didn’t ultimately have designs on them as well. This is the key point Pat Buchanan seems to miss when discussing Hitler’s ultimate goals.

What pops in my head also are the words of Jesus: I AM the way, the truth, and the life ...

Joining in prayer, lifting up Israel, our beloved America, and all God’s people.

....”And don’t think for a minute with all of the Jews in this country, that Hitler didn’t ultimately have designs on them as well”....

Well when a nation leader is seeking to be King of the World, which Hitler would have certainly pushed on with...that would include the USA. Though I am a firm believer that the only reason we haven’t been militarily invaded is because most have guns here. As was stated..”One behind every bush”.

Unfortunately the “agenda” for the enemies of this country are to “invade” in our political system and change the laws to accomodate theirs..and then pull the plug!
