  4. Perhaps no life more tied to mountains than that of Moses Four mountains in particular reveal the life of Moses to us

  5. Mount Horeb The Mountain of Decision

  6. Born under a decree

  7. And the king of Egypt spake to the Hebrew midwives, of which the name of the one was Shiphrah, and the name of the other Puah: And he said, When ye do the office of a midwife to the Hebrew women, and see them upon the stools; if it be a son, then ye shall kill him: but if it be a daughter, then she shall live. Exodus 1:15, 16

  8. Born under a decree Hidden in brink of the Nile Discovered by Pharaoh’s daughter and saved Brought up by his own mother; Reared in Pharaoh’s house

  9. And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Go. And the maid went and called the child's mother. Exodus 2:8

  10. Born under a decree Hidden in brink of the Nile Discovered by Pharaoh’s daughter and saved Brought up by his own mother; Reared in Pharaoh’s house At age 40, made a life-changing decision (Ex. 2:11-14)

  11. Now when Pharaoh heard this thing, he sought to slay Moses. But Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh, and dwelt in the land of Midian: and he sat down by a well. Exodus 2:15

  12. And Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in words and in deeds. And when he was full forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren the children of Israel. And seeing one of them suffer wrong, he defended him, and avenged him that was oppressed, and smote the Egyptian: Acts 7:22-24

  13. By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter; Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season; Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward. By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible. Hebrews 11:24-27

  14. In Midian he tended the flocks of Jethro and married Jethro’s daughter, Zipporah At the age of 80, while tending sheep at Mt. Horeb, Moses saw a most unusual sight

  15. Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, even to Horeb. And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed. Exodus 3:1, 2

  16. Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, even to Horeb. Exodus 3:1

  17. And when forty years were expired, there appeared to him in the wilderness of mount Sinai an angel of the Lord in a flame of fire in a bush. Acts 7:30

  18. In Midian he tended the flocks of Jethro and married Jethro’s daughter, Zipporah At the age of 80, while tending sheep at Mt. Horeb, Moses saw a most unusual sight Another life-changing decision had to be made; this one with much greater implications

  19. Moses offered a number of excuses

  20. And Moses said unto God, Who am I, that I should go unto Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt? Exodus 3:11

  21. And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them? Exodus 3:13

  22. And Moses answered and said, But, behold, they will not believe me, nor hearken unto my voice: for they will say, The LORD hath not appeared unto thee. Exodus 4:1

  23. And Moses said unto the LORD, O my Lord, I am not eloquent, neither heretofore, nor since thou hast spoken unto thy servant: but I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue. Exodus 4:10

  24. Moses offered a number of excuses But, finally made the decision to obey God

  25. And the LORD said unto Moses in Midian, Go, return into Egypt: for all the men are dead which sought thy life. And Moses took his wife and his sons, and set them upon an ass, and he returned to the land of Egypt: and Moses took the rod of God in his hand. Exodus 4:19, 20

  26. Moses offered a number of excuses But, finally made the decision to obey God Like Moses, we must approach the Mountain of Decision

  27. Mount Sinai The Mountain of Law

  28. God (through Moses) had led His people to freedom from Egyptian tyranny 10 plagues had devastated Egypt

  29. And Pharaoh's servants said unto him, How long shall this man be a snare unto us? let the men go, that they may serve the LORD their God: knowest thou not yet that Egypt is destroyed? Exodus 10:7

  30. God (through Moses) had led His people to freedom from Egyptian tyranny 10 plagues had devastated Egypt Pharaoh and his hosts had drowned in the Red Sea

  31. But overthrew Pharaoh and his host in the Red sea: for his mercy endureth for ever. Psalm 136:15

  32. God (through Moses) had led His people to freedom from Egyptian tyranny 10 plagues had devastated Egypt Pharaoh and his hosts had drowned in the Red Sea Israel now encamped at Mt. Sinai where stayed for over a year

  33. On third day, God called Moses to come up into the mountain

  34. And the LORD came down upon mount Sinai, on the top of the mount: and the LORD called Moses up to the top of the mount; and Moses went up. Exodus 19:20

  35. On third day, God called Moses to come up into the mountain While there, Moses was given instructions for building the tabernacle, commanded to number the people, and given the law of the covenant

  36. The law was given for purposes of: Showing sin for what it was

  37. Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good. Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful. Romans 7:12, 13

  38. The law was given for purposes of: Showing sin for what it was Providing civil, sanitary and spiritual laws for the Jewish people Bringing its adherents to Christ

  39. Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. Galatians 3:24

  40. Like Moses, we too must approach the mountain of law Ours is the law of Christ, the New Testament

  41. And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance. Hebrews 9:15

  42. Mount Nebo The Mountain of Death

  43. Fast-forward in the life of Moses Wilderness wandering almost over Moses was now 120 years old The former generation (including his sister Miriam and brother Aaron) had died- except for Caleb and Joshua

  44. Much had occurred along the way Now, because of his disobedience in striking the rock, Moses turned the reigns of leadership over to Joshua and ascended Mt. Nebo Here he would get a view of the promised land, but would not be able to enter Here he would face death

  45. And Moses went up from the plains of Moab unto the mountain of Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, that is over against Jericho. And the LORD shewed him all the land…. So Moses the servant of the LORD died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of the LORD…. And Moses was an hundred and twenty years old when he died: his eye was not dim, nor his natural force abated. Deuteronomy 34:1, 5, 7

  46. Like Moses, we too will one day approach the mountain of death

  47. Mount of Transfiguration The Mountain of Glory

  48. With man, the story would end with the mountain of death; with God, it goes further He is seen again in the New Testament, in the lifetime of Jesus

  49. And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart, And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light. And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him. Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three

  50. tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias. While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him. Matthew 7:1-5
