The Real Moses and the Misunderstandings of Supernatural Abilities

Moses, a central figure in the Bible, is often associated with supernatural abilities. However, it is important to understand that the miracles attributed to him were performed by God through his actions and life. Let's delve into the truth behind these misconceptions and explore the biblical context that clarifies Moses' role.

Miracles and the Role of God

The Bible is clear that miracles were performed through divine intervention, not through the personal abilities of the individuals involved. In the case of Moses, the book of Exodus emphasizes that it was God working through Moses to perform these acts. This is evident in scriptures such as Exodus 4:11, where God says to Moses, "Who gives speech to a man, who makes him mute or deaf, or seeing, or blind? Is it not I, the Lord?"

Moses, Presence, and Journey

Moses was indeed present with God for extended periods and shared in divine wisdom. His presence in the wilderness with God for 40 years played a significant role in his understanding and actions. In Exodus, Moses is described as having a powerful and clear presence, which evolved from a young man with confidence issues to a respected leader. It is written that Moses was "as strong as an ox" (Exodus 8:20), but this strength should be attributed to his close encounters with God's power, not his personal abilities.

Joshua, the True Successor

The text introduces Joshua, the son of Nun, as a key figure in Exodus. Often misunderstood to have replaced Moses, the name “Joshua” can lead to confusion. However, the letter "J" was not part of the original script until much later in history. The original name was closer to "Yoshua" or "Yahshua." Scholars point out that the name "Joshua" is a result of modern transliteration misunderstandings, not the true name. This renaming could have been influenced by transliteration rules that emerged much later.

Names are crucial in understanding biblical figures. The name “Joshua” (or “Yoshua”) is a title that perfectly aligns with the expected qualities of the successor, leading many to believe he was the one to carry on Moses' legacy.

Divine Teachings and the New Kingdom Age

Understanding the true nature of Moses and his abilities is essential for grasping the deeper spiritual teachings found in the Bible. It's important not to place these attributes on any single individual but to see them as manifestations of God's divine presence and power. The New Covenant, as discussed in Jeremiah 31:31-34, provides insights into the true nature of the New Testament and the importance of seeking the spiritual teachings directly from the Holy Spirit. This era, often referred to as the "New Kingdom Age," emphasizes the direct connection between believers and the divine.

The article aims to encourage a closer examination of biblical texts and a deeper, spiritual journey towards understanding the divine plan and personal relationship with the Creator, Yahweh Elohim Yahshua.
