Moses' failure in numbers 20 also stands out. He took credit for what God was going to do, lost his temper again and then he was an affront to God's power. Do you think with the golden calf incident that the slaughtering of the people that that was counter to God's will? I don't really know if I have the most. It was commanded to slaughter the people. And then the priests are rewarded afterwards by becoming priestly class.
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.
