A New Study For A New Year: Personalities

Exodus 17:1-7

17 And all the congregation of the children of Israel journeyed from the wilderness of Sin, after their journeys, according to the commandment of the Lord, and pitched in Rephidim: and there was no water for the people to drink.

2 Wherefore the people did chide with Moses, and said, Give us water that we may drink. And Moses said unto them, Why chide ye with me? wherefore do ye tempt the Lord?

3 And the people thirsted there for water; and the people murmured against Moses, and said, Wherefore is this that thou hast brought us up out of Egypt, to kill us and our children and our cattle with thirst?

4 And Moses cried unto the Lord, saying, What shall I do unto this people? they be almost ready to stone me.

5 And the Lord said unto Moses, Go on before the people, and take with thee of the elders of Israel; and thy rod, wherewith thou smotest the river, take in thine hand, and go.

6 Behold, I will stand before thee there upon the rock in Horeb; and thou shalt smite the rock, and there shall come water out of it, that the people may drink. And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel.

7 And he called the name of the place Massah, and Meribah, because of the chiding of the children of Israel, and because they tempted the Lord, saying, Is the Lord among us, or not?

( The King James Version)

Nothing exhibits the personality of Moses better than the two "Water From The Rock" incidents. In both incidents, Moses is under pressure from over a million people clamoring for water. The grumbling and complaining seem to really "get to" Moses. He, in turn, goes to God and complains about the complaining, and God sometimes gives Moses an answer that is truly frightening:

"Step back, Moses. I'm about to SMITE them all! Then I'll start over with you, and make a new Chosen People!"

This seems to flip a switch in Moses, and he becomes an Intercessor. Just like his Forefather Abraham, Moses pleads for the people, and even bargains with God. Just like Jacob, Moses Wrestles with his own emotions, feelings of inadequacy, need to be in control, and, deep down, a LOVE for his People.

Here's a story about "striking" something to get it working, and a time when "striking" WASN'T appropriate:

We always had the latest in electronics, and our TV set had a rectangular screen instead of a round one. While neighbors had mere "Rabbit Ears" antennae on their sets, our Dad climbed up onto the roof of our house and installed a space-age antenna that turned when you changed the channel. So I watched Soupy Sales and Ernie Kovacs (my two favorite shows) in crystal-clear Black and White that was superior to all the neighbor's sets.

Sometimes, even with our space age technology, the set would still go haywire. It was then that Dad would employ the scientific technique of whacking the top of the TV with the flat of his palm. That was usually enough to stabilize the signal.

I loved spooky stories and science fiction, and a new series was advertised called The Outer Limits. I turned on the set ahead of time to let it "warm up". After a couple of commercials, it was magic time. The new series was about to begin. Suddenly, the TV went haywire. Horizontal bands streamed across the screen Static noise came out of the speaker. And Dad wasn't home to fix it. I started slapping the top of the TV till my hand hurt, to no avail. Then a voice came out of the speaker:

There is nothing wrong with your television set. Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We are controlling transmission. If we wish to make it louder, we will bring up the volume. If we wish to make it softer, we will tune it to a whisper. We will control the horizontal. We will control the vertical. We can roll the image, make it flutter.

Aha! What a great Intro!

Decades later, hubby and I were watching the final episode of "The Sopranos". TV was now provided by a Cable or a Satellite Dish, and there was no need for Rabbit Ears or a Roof Antenna. The TV was thinner because the Cathode-Ray Tube had been replaced by LEDs, plasma, or some weird substance.

Tony Soprano, his wife Camella, and Tony Jr. were seated in a restaurant while daughter Meadow was outside struggling to parallel park in order to join her family for dinner. As they waited for Meadow, the family ordered a bottle of red wine which was brought to the table along with a basket of bread. Tony poured the wine, broke the bread, and passed it around. My husband, who was Jewish, remarked:

"Look, ML, they are having Communion. This is their Last Supper. They are going to get whacked."

Just as he said that, a black sedan pulls up outdoors and several tough guys exit the car and go into the restaurant. While Meadow is still trying to park the car, Tony puts a few coins in the Juke Box and chooses the Journey hit "Don't Stop Believing".

Meadow finally joins the family and she sits down. One of the tough guys goes into the rest room, and suddenly...the Screen Went BLACK!

"Nooooo!" I shouted, "How can the cable go out at the climax of watching this show faithfully for NINE SEASONS!" Call the Cable Company!"

I ran over to the set and began whacking it, with my palm, but of course that didn't work. That was the intentional ending of The Sopranos. And people have been griping about it ever since. I can't even hear "Don't Stop Believing" without thinking about it.

The first time Moses was to receive water From the Rock, he was instructed to strike the Rock with his staff. Water gushed out, and saved the lives of the Israelites and their livestock. The first time, hitting the Rock was appropriate. But it was to be just that once.

Years later, Moses is once again faced with an angry mob because of the lack of water. God instructs Moses to just "Speak to the Rock" this time. The Rock was struck once, years before, and it was once and for all. Now Moses could have a "relationship" with the Rock and just Ask.

But, by this time, Moses had had it with the constant grumbling and complaining, kvetching and moaning, from dawn til dusk about everything. His frustration had hit the boiling point, and in his wrath he WHACKED the Rock with his staff as he yelled at the people in his fury.

God was faithful to provide water at this critical moment, but Moses had violated an Eternal Truth when he whacked the Rock. Just as all people are appointed to die once, and after that, the Judgment, and the Rock was only to be struck ONCE, and, after that, just spoken to, Messiah was only to die ONCE, and after that, we have a relationship with Him. He does not have to be crucified "Day in Day Out" for Him to be our Savior. Just Ask and He will fill you with Fountains of Living Water.

Because of this transgression, Moses was denied entry into the Promised Land. It was the act of disobedience at the second "Water From The Rock" incident that got him.

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

Psalm 91

1 You who live in the shelter of the Most High,
who abide in the shadow of the Almighty,*
2 will say to the Lord, ‘My refuge and my fortress;
my God, in whom I trust.’
3 For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler
and from the deadly pestilence;
4 he will cover you with his pinions,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness is a shield and buckler.
5 You will not fear the terror of the night,
or the arrow that flies by day,
6 or the pestilence that stalks in darkness,
or the destruction that wastes at noonday.

7 A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you.
8 You will only look with your eyes
and see the punishment of the wicked.

9 Because you have made the Lord your refuge,*
the Most High your dwelling-place,
10 no evil shall befall you,
no scourge come near your tent.

11 For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways.
12 On their hands they will bear you up,
so that you will not dash your foot against a stone.
13 You will tread on the lion and the adder,
the young lion and the serpent you will trample under foot.

14 Those who love me, I will deliver;
I will protect those who know my name.
15 When they call to me, I will answer them;
I will be with them in trouble,
I will rescue them and honour them.

Yuppers!

Moses is a Giant in my book as when he’s pounding out the serpent of bronze in the Chosen.

I just about wore out The Ten Commandments this Past week.
What a Fantastic Life Moses Had !

When I began the “Personality” series, I kind of bit off more than I can chew with regard to Moses. He’s an incredible Figure.

We will NOT be done when we get through Moses in Exodus. There’s so much more about him in Numbers (once you get through the “numbers”) and Deuteronomy, whre we REALLY get the very VOICE of Moses, talking to us directly.

I compared it to sitting at my Dad’s feet and listening as he showed me pictures and told me stories about WW2 in the South Pacific.

Since he was the “Ship’s Photographer”, he had a LOT of pictures. Iwo Jima, Okinawa, Occupied Japan, Forbidden City in Peking (that’s what it was called back then), and so on.

Some of the pictures were a little grisley for a schoolgirl, but they were authentic and shaped my life to this day.

That’s how Deuteronomy feels to me.

Amen
