Pray For The Peace of Jerusalem

Exodus 15

The Song of Moses and Miriam

15 Then Moses and the Israelites sang this song to the Lord:

“I will sing to the Lord,
    for he is highly exalted.
Both horse and driver
    he has hurled into the sea.

2  “The Lord is my strength and my defense[a];
    he has become my salvation.
He is my God, and I will praise him,
    my father’s God, and I will exalt him.

3  The Lord is a warrior;
    the Lord is his name.

4  Pharaoh’s chariots and his army
    he has hurled into the sea.
The best of Pharaoh’s officers
    are drowned in the Red Sea.[b]

5  The deep waters have covered them;
    they sank to the depths like a stone.

6  Your right hand, Lord,
    was majestic in power.
Your right hand, Lord,
    shattered the enemy.

7  “In the greatness of your majesty
    you threw down those who opposed you.
You unleashed your burning anger;
    it consumed them like stubble.

8  By the blast of your nostrils
    the waters piled up.
The surging waters stood up like a wall;
    the deep waters congealed in the heart of the sea.

9  The enemy boasted,
    ‘I will pursue, I will overtake them.
I will divide the spoils;
    I will gorge myself on them.
I will draw my sword
    and my hand will destroy them.’

10  But you blew with your breath,
    and the sea covered them.
They sank like lead
    in the mighty waters.

11  Who among the gods
    is like you, Lord?
Who is like you—
    majestic in holiness,
awesome in glory,
    working wonders?

12  “You stretch out your right hand,
    and the earth swallows your enemies.

13  In your unfailing love you will lead
    the people you have redeemed.
In your strength you will guide them
    to your holy dwelling.

14  The nations will hear and tremble;
    anguish will grip the people of Philistia.

15  The chiefs of Edom will be terrified,
    the leaders of Moab will be seized with trembling,
the people[c] of Canaan will melt away;

16      terror and dread will fall on them.
By the power of your arm
    they will be as still as a stone—
until your people pass by, Lord,
    until the people you bought[d] pass by.

17  You will bring them in and plant them
    on the mountain of your inheritance—
the place, Lord, you made for your dwelling,
    the sanctuary, Lord, your hands established.

18  “The Lord reigns
    for ever and ever.”

19 When Pharaoh’s horses, chariots and horsemen[e] went into the sea, the Lord brought the waters of the sea back over them, but the Israelites walked through the sea on dry ground.

20 Then Miriam the prophet, Aaron’s sister, took a timbrel in her hand, and all the women followed her, with timbrels and dancing. 21 Miriam sang to them:

“Sing to the Lord,
    for he is highly exalted.
Both horse and driver
    he has hurled into the sea.”

Some of our Faithful Prayer Warriors, who have stuck with this Thread for a number of years, will remember that a few years ago we did a series entitled "Music in the Bible". It went on for months, because, from Genesis to Revelation, there is so much music in the Bible that we KNOW that God intended it to be a very important part of our lives. Humans, as far as I can tell, are the only creatures that actually compose music. Although Insects make tones by scraping their legs together, peeper frogs split the evening air with their "peeping", and birds sing songs to one another, they are programmed to do so. Even the Humpback Whales, whose songs were a big hit on Vinyl a few decades ago, produce their music by instinct, not by creativity.

You may not agree with me, and that's OK, but I contend that it is the ability to create art and music that makes us "made in God's own image." After all, He is The Creator.

Human Beings have been known to break into song at the drop of a hat. Back when I wrote the musings on the Song of Moses and Miriam, I spoke of this tendency, carried to extremes in Opera and The American Musical. Here is a reprise of that post, from over two years ago:

"An American Art Form, known as the "Broadway Musical", has undergone many changes over the years. Not quite like it's European ancestor, the Musical was not completely "operatic", as the music was infused with "Americana" (Ragtime, Jazz, Blues, Folk, etc) and there was spoken dialogue between the musical numbers. The themes were usually lighter than opera as well, with the finale celebrating a conclusion rather than having dead bodies littering the stage. ...

In the early days of the Musical, the plots were wafer-thin and just served to frame the musical numbers, which were often lavish and overdone. This was OK because of the "Fourth Wall" in live performances. The audience suspends their disbelief and are able to accept the fact that people are singing rather than speaking to each other.

With the advent of Sound Movies, the American Musical was the obvious choice. This transition from Silent to Sound Movie-making is hilariously portrayed in the Classic Movie "Singing In The Rain". The movie shows the difficulty in transferring the stage musical onto the silver screen. There are some terrific musical numbers in this movie, but, let's face it. People don't just burst into song like that in real life!

Or Do They?

Chapter 15 of the Book of Exodus happens right after the Hebrews cross the Red Sea, and the Egyptian Army is drowned in its depths. Upon reaching the other shore, Moses bursts into song. Miriam gathers the women and they all pick up their tambourines and dance. It's a big production number! The difference between this and a musical is that the song and dance are in praise to the Lord. It is a song of Victory, but it is God's Victory. In fact, the Holy Name of YHVH is sung ten times in this song. It is God's Covenant Name with His People. The Song has five verses, the first four celebrating Deliverance and the fifth prophesying victory in the Promised Land.

Cecille B. DeMille wisely chose not to include this "Production Number" in his movie "The Ten Commandments". He saved his production skills for the big "Golden Calf Scene" which is tomorrow's subject.

But, did you know that there is a Musical based on the Ten Commandments? I've seen it. It's a little strange, to say the least!

Nevertheless, Moses and Miriam actually DID "burst into song" on that amazing day."

Come and Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem, For Our FRiends in Need, For Persecuted Believers, and For Our Beloved Nation.

"He was delivered up for our trespasses and raised for our justification." (Romans 4:25)

Psalm 102

A prayer of one afflicted, when faint and pleading before the Lord.

1 Hear my prayer, O Lord;
let my cry come to you.
2 Do not hide your face from me
on the day of my distress.
Incline your ear to me;
answer me speedily on the day when I call.

3 For my days pass away like smoke,
and my bones burn like a furnace.
4 My heart is stricken and withered like grass;
I am too wasted to eat my bread.
5 Because of my loud groaning
my bones cling to my skin.
6 I am like an owl of the wilderness,
like a little owl of the waste places.
7 I lie awake;
I am like a lonely bird on the housetop.
8 All day long my enemies taunt me;
those who deride me use my name for a curse.
9 For I eat ashes like bread,
and mingle tears with my drink,
10 because of your indignation and anger;
for you have lifted me up and thrown me aside.
11 My days are like an evening shadow;
I wither away like grass.

12 But you, O Lord, are enthroned for ever;
your name endures to all generations.
13 You will rise up and have compassion on Zion,
for it is time to favour it;
the appointed time has come.
14 For your servants hold its stones dear,
and have pity on its dust.
15 The nations will fear the name of the Lord,
and all the kings of the earth your glory.
16 For the Lord will build up Zion;
he will appear in his glory.
17 He will regard the prayer of the destitute,
and will not despise their prayer.

18 Let this be recorded for a generation to come,
so that a people yet unborn may praise the Lord:
19 that he looked down from his holy height,
from heaven the Lord looked at the earth,
20 to hear the groans of the prisoners,
to set free those who were doomed to die;
21 so that the name of the Lord may be declared in Zion,
and his praise in Jerusalem,
22 when peoples gather together,
and kingdoms, to worship the Lord.

23 He has broken my strength in mid-course;
he has shortened my days.
24 ‘O my God,’ I say, ‘do not take me away
at the mid-point of my life,
you whose years endure
throughout all generations.’

25 Long ago you laid the foundation of the earth,
and the heavens are the work of your hands.
26 They will perish, but you endure;
they will all wear out like a garment.
You change them like clothing, and they pass away;
27 but you are the same, and your years have no end.
28 The children of your servants shall live secure;
their offspring shall be established in your presence.

"Song Of Moses"
From The Nuremburg Bible

_

HEN sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the LORD, and spake, saying, I will sing unto the LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.

The LORD is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he is my God, and I will prepare him an

The LORD is a man of war: the LORD is his name.

Pharaoh's chariots and his host hath he cast into the sea: his chosen captains also are drowned in the Red sea.

The depths have covered them: they sank into the bottom as a stone.

Thy right hand, O LORD, is become glorious in power: thy right hand, O LORD, hath dashed in pieces the enemy.

And in the greatness of thine excellency thou hast overthrown them that rose up against thee: thou sentest forth thy wrath, which consumed them as stubble.

And with the blast of thy nostrils the waters were gathered together, the floods stood upright as an heap, and the depths were congealed in the heart of the sea.

The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; my lust shall be satisfied upon them; I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them.

Thou didst blow with thy wind, the sea covered them: they sank as lead in the mighty waters.

Who is like unto thee, O LORD, among the gods? who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?

Thou stretchedst out thy right hand, the earth swallowed them.

Thou in thy mercy hast led forth the people which thou hast redeemed: thou hast guided them in thy strength unto thy holy habitation.

The people shall hear, and be afraid: sorrow shall take hold on the inhabitants of Palestina.

Then the dukes of Edom shall be amazed; the mighty men of Moab, trembling shall take hold upon them; all the inhabitants of Canaan shall melt away.

Fear and dread shall fall upon them; by the greatness of thine arm they shall be as still as a stone; till thy people pass over, O LORD, till the people pass over, which thou hast purchased.

Thou shalt bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of thine inheritance, in the place, O LORD, which thou hast made for thee to dwell in, in the Sanctuary, O LORD, which thy hands have established.

The LORD shall reign for ever and ever.

For the horse of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and the LORD brought again the waters of the sea upon them; but the children of Israel went on dry land in the midst of the sea.
