Episode notes

There's this theme throughout Old Testament about God as the divine warrior is his war against his enemies and is his judgment. So calling it genocide is a certain type of rhetorical move. One ethnic group against another ethnic group. This is, I'm going to do the same thing to you. And that's what really when he strikes the rock, and Paul tells us that rock was Christ. It's not banter, but conversations between God and Moses.

Called by God to lead his people to the promised land, Moses is heralded as a prophet like no other—one with whom God spoke face to face. But between his murderous past, bursts of anger that ultimately kept him from entering the promised land, and his own record that he was the most humble man to ever live, is he the hero we think? In this episode of White Horse Inn, hosts Michael Horton, Justin Holcomb, Bob Hiller, and Walter Strickland tackle the complicated details of Moses’s life, reflecting on how God works in and through sinners.
