Moses’ Back Stories

3/20/26-3/21/26

Moses's Greatness is a compilation of considerations which form the backstory for everything else the Bible is about to say about Moses, especially as his sizzling legacy carries all of humanity into an unavoidable encounter with the end times which brings about a revelation of Jesus Anointed One.

Moses Was Great!

3/22/26

God wanted people to have faith in Moses.

God made Moses “Like God” -- how great can you get???

Moses was a prophet “like” Jesus -- God Himself

Preview of Moses’ Greatness

Exo_11:3; Deu_34:10; Deu_34:11; Deu_34:12; Num_12:7; Num_12:8; Heb_3:2; Heb_3:5; Num_12:3; Act_7:22; Deu_3:24

“Very Great” to the Egyptians

Exo_11:3 NKJV And the LORD gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians. Moreover the man Moses was very great in the land of Egypt, in the sight of Pharaoh’s servants and in the sight of the people.

Remember that God is the one who orchestrated this by making Moses like God to Pharaoh.

This is not an accidental worldly misrepresentation of Moses, but is an exact result of what God was determined to do to exalt Moses into surpassing greatness!

Unique greatness among prophets (no equal)

Deu_34:10 NKJV But since then there has not arisen in Israel a prophet like Moses, whom the LORD knew face to face,

Deu_34:11 NKJV in all the signs and wonders which the LORD sent him to do in the land of Egypt, before Pharaoh, before all his servants, and in all his land,

Deu_34:12 NKJV and by all that mighty power and all the great terror which Moses performed in the sight of all Israel.

Called faithful over all God’s house (exalted status)

Num_12:7 NKJV Not so with My servant Moses; He is faithful in all My house.

Num_12:8 NKJV I speak with him face to face, Even plainly, and not in dark sayings; And he sees the form of the LORD. Why then were you not afraid To speak against My servant Moses?

Heb_3:2 NKJV who was faithful to Him who appointed Him, as Moses also was faithful in all His house.

Heb_3:5 NKJV And Moses indeed was faithful in all His house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which would be spoken afterward,

Meekness (a different kind of greatness)

Num_12:3 NKJV (Now the man Moses was very humble, more than all men who were on the face of the earth.)

Mighty / great works associated with him

Act_7:22 NKJV And Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in words and deeds.

Deu_3:24 NKJV O Lord GOD, You have begun to show Your servant Your greatness and Your mighty hand, for what god is there in heaven or on earth who can do anything like Your works and Your mighty deeds?

Greatness Summary

· No prophet like him (Deu_34)

· Face-to-face relationship with God (Num_12)

· Faithfulness and humility (Num_12:3; Heb_3)

· Mighty deeds and authority (Act_7:22)

Imitate Moses’ Greatness (Reminders)

3/20/26-3/21/26

It's easy to imagine that the greatest heroes are beyond being our morally binding examples to imitate, but this is exactly the opposite of reality.

When we consider the exceeding greatness of Biblical heroes, it's easy to get distracted in the middle of considering their surpassing excellence as if they are so advanced far beyond our reach that we might feel their excellence is to far removed beyond us to ever fit as an example for us. But nothing could be further from the truth.

Just as Jesus is not the exception to the rule, but he is the rule, so also with all of his favorite people: we look at their amazing greatness as canonical standards for us to imitate, not for us to excuse ourselves from becoming like them.

Inspiration

Condensed Bible Themes -- In General

· Abundance of Truth: Numbers 12 is full of all kinds of Truth & virtue

· Harvest Deep Considerations: All kinds of applications and exhortations are deeply needed and are deeply embedded in this passage, and we need to draw out the wells of living Water to save our souls from just a handful of a few verses here

· Condensed Truth: Numbers 12 has a lot of virtues jam-packed into this one account, and…

· Biblical Consistency: these Truths are constantly reinforced powerfully throughout the rest of the Bible.

· Open Your Eyes by Faith: we must extend our faith to believe these repeated messages of virtue -- that they are potently taught here and are constantly reinforced throughout the rest of the Bible.

· Obedience Practice: Getting Numbers 12 right helps you practice obeying all the rest of the Bible.

Foundational Introductions to These Virtues

· Time Limitations: We can't sufficiently go over all of these huge gigantic themes (Heb_11:32; Joh_21:25), but…

· Apprehend a Preview: we can at least start to consider them

· Get Started: we need to start embracing these basic realities/virtues

Not Enough Time or Books!

“The Point: There’s Not Enough Time (Heb_11:32) or Books (Joh_21:25) to go over all the Truth we need to address!”

Greek: (1) ἐπιλείψει γὰρ με διηγούμενον ὁ χρόνος (2) ἅτινα ἐὰν γράφηται καθ᾿ ἕν, Aουδ TSBοὐδὲ αὐτὸν οἶμαι τὸν κόσμον χωρῆσαι τὰ γραφόμενα βιβλία

>> Review!

Are You Listening?

· Listen: Are you listening to God's Voice/Spirit??

· Read & Listen: Are you listening to what God is actually saying when reading this passage, in order to notice these undeniably important elements in Numbers 12?

· Test Ourselves: Spirit tests are very needed -- to approve ourselves (as in 2Co_7, like the repenting Corinthians) when reading the Bible like this

Admitting Existence

· Denial: These jam-packed themes are potent Biblical realities that church people almost universally deny.

· Honesty: Admit That These Virtues Are in Numbers 12

· Factually Observable: Take it to heart and notice this -- that these elements are absolutely there and you cannot scientifically avoid and deny their reality in this passage and throughout the rest of the Bible!

· Scientifically Unavoidable: they're right here in front of our face!

>>>>>>>>>

Stop Assuming!

· Assuming Innocence for Disobedience: So even though people assume there's nothing wrong with assuming non-inspiration, and that

· Bible of Denial: there's nothing in the Bible condemning them as sinners for this hateful and unlawful thinking, yet

· Numbers 12 Proves Assumption Is Sin: this passage and the rest of the Bible powerfully condemns continuing to make the assumptions it continually forbids us to make.

>>>>>>>>>

Repent of Assuming!

· Maybe humans didn't realize how bad assuming non-inspiration really was, but

· After all that God has taught us through the example of Moses and all the other Bible heroes,

· We are completely without excuse if we keep on assuming non-inspiration.

Questions: Moral Puzzles in Numbers 12

2/20/26…2/22/26; 3/6/26

>>>>>>>>>

Moses’ Inspiration

· Why is Moses so special?

· What makes Moses so unique in the Bible?

· He’s a pattern for Jesus Himself! (Deu_18; Heb_3; etc.) -- how and why????

· What can we do to make Moses’ surprising example relevant to our in media virtue and obedience?

Moses's inspiration: (1) how does it reveal Jesus? (2) how does it apply to us, our actions, our requirements, our morality, our salvation?

How can we truly BELIEVE what Numbers 12 says so that we can CHANGE into salvation?

>> PENDIONG \/\/

Where is Jesus in Num_12???

Interracial Marriage = Inspiration???

What does Marrying a black woman have to do with Moses’ greatness, Inspiration, and God trusting him as faithful in all His house???

Is Love Harsh?

· Would a Loving God -- harshly disrespect someone?

· If we believe that God is Love, would he ever spit in someone's face?

· Others Might Ask: Can God shame someone He still loves? Is shame sometimes a mercy?

Criticizing

· When is “discernment” rebellion?

· When is so-called “discernment” really the rebellion of envy and despising?

Proving Who’s Right

· Which Spirit?: How might we know when our anger or harshness is inspired by God or the devil?

· Prove Who's Right: How do you know/establish/PROVE who is True in a conflict / friction/disagreement/ an argument?

· Experiential Idolatry: "I feel the check in my spirit"

· False Discernment: "I can discern you have pride" -- nearly every Church person's favorite excuse to escape scientific responsibility and avoid the issue ("cop out")

· Proof Is Pending: How about how can you prove whether or not someone has pride or it's just your flesh being flustered or even offended at their virtuous excellence?

SEACH: more examples /\

It’s a Deep Sin: ANI Experiential Idolatry of False Discernment of flesh = Despising and Assuming Non-inspiration (ANI) = these horrible sin-crimes

Who’s Inspired?

· Others Often Ask: Is murmuring against leadership the same as murmuring against God?

· Better Question: WHO is inspired so much that murmuring against them is the same as murmuring against God?

Others Might Ask:

(I collected & titled these…)

Pride Talking

When does equality talk mask ambition?

Is jealousy ever hiding behind “concern for righteousness”?

Can (even spiritual) privilege blind us to pride?

Liability

Why was Aaron spared while Miriam was struck?

Divine Accountability

What if God is listening more closely than we think?

How long does it take for one conversation to change everything?

Are we prepared for God to step down and call a meeting?

When God comes down suddenly, will our words stand?

Punishment’s Purpose

Could a week outside the camp save a soul inside it?

Do we fear leprosy of skin more than leprosy of heart?

Is humility proven before or after rebuke?

SPIRITUAL Reading of the OT -- Needed!

~3/13/26-3/15/26

Feelings vs. Truth

(A) Soulish Church: If you felt nothing, you got nothing

· if you didn’t feel nothin in church today, you didn’t get nothing

(B) Truth-Love: If you don’t OBEY more Truth, you only got goof

· Who cares if you felt anything!?

· Obeyers want to know if you got any real righteousness that revolutionized and changed your life into more clean perfection clean obence from above!

(A) Soul-ish Can’t Receive

1 Corinthians 2 (esp. 1Co_2:14) shows us that if we're listening to God's Spirit when reading these Scriptures we're going to understand something that the flesh cannot understand

Conclusion that does not change the flesh = Wrong!

(B) Veiled Reading = Blind

2 Corinthians 3 - 4 – shows us that you can have a blinded veiled reading of the Old Testament and even the New Testament, both of which are shining out of Numbers 12

We need to see this spiritual light to be saved: 2Corinthians 3 – 4

And speaking of inspiration… (Which Numbers 12 is all about)…

(C) Saving Wisdom of OT = Jesus

See: 2Ti_3 below…

If the OT has Jesus’ Saving wisdom, then this raises a critical question about Num_12…

2Ti_3: Inspired Scriptures…Jesus...Salvation

3/13/26-3/15/26

2Ti_3:14 CAB But you must continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of, knowing from whom you learned them,

2Ti_3:14 σὺ δὲ μένε ἐν οἷς ἔμαθες καὶ ἐπιστώθης, εἰδὼς παρὰ τίνος ἔμαθες,

2Ti_3:14 συ δε μενε εν οις εμαθες και επιστωθης ειδως παρα Aτινων TSBτινος εμαθες

2Ti_3:15 and that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures [ἱερὰ γράμματα], which are able to make you wise to salvation through faith [σοφίσαι εἰς σωτηρίαν διὰ πίστεως] which is in Christ Jesus.

2Ti_3:15 καὶ ὅτι ἀπὸ βρέφους τὰ ἱερὰ γράμματα οἶδας, τὰ δυνάμενά σε σοφίσαι εἰς σωτηρίαν διὰ πίστεως τῆς ἐν Χριστῷ ᾿Ιησοῦ.

2Ti_3:15 και οτι απο βρεφους Aτα TSBτα ιερα γραμματα οιδας τα δυναμενα σε σοφισαι εις σωτηριαν δια πιστεως της εν χριστω ιησου

2Ti_3:16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof [ἐλεγμόν], for correction, for instruction in righteousness,

2Ti_3:16 πᾶσα γραφὴ θεόπνευστος καὶ ὠφέλιμος πρὸς διδασκαλίαν, πρὸς ἐλεγμόν, πρὸς ἐπανόρθωσιν, πρὸς παιδείαν τὴν ἐν δικαιοσύνῃ,

2Ti_3:16 πασα γραφη θεοπνευστος και ωφελιμος προς διδασκαλιαν προς Aελεγμον TSBελεγχον προς επανορθωσιν προς παιδειαν την εν δικαιοσυνη

2Ti_3:17 that the man of God may be proficient, having been thoroughly equipped for every good work.

2Ti_3:17 ἵνα ἄρτιος ᾖ ὁ τοῦ Θεοῦ ἄνθρωπος, πρὸς πᾶν ἔργον ἀγαθὸν ἐξηρτισμένος.

>>Scrip: ES

Convincing proof [ἐλεγμόν] (2Ti_3:16) = same as Hebrews 11 definition of faith
3/15/26

Where is Jesus in Num_12:???

3/13/26-3/15/26

OT Shows Jesus

· Spiritual: We need to read the Scriptures spiritually so that they can make us wise into salvation that is through Jesus Anointed One

· Where’s Jesus?: Don't flatten out Numbers 12 with fleshly disobedience so that there's no real Jesus shining through to make you wise into salvation!

· Inspired Identity: This is about inspiration and it's about the real identity of Moses who shows us the real identity of Jesus

· Moses ≈ Jesus: Moses’ identity is necessary for revealing who Jesus is from the old to the New Testament in the same way it is in the end times in Revelation 11 for bringing about the revelation of who Jesus Anointed One is coming to be revealed To Be

Num_12 Shows Jesus

OT “Scripture” [ἱερὰ γράμματα] is particularly in initial view in in 2Ti_3 (2Ti_3:15-16) -- so this saving wisdom ^2Ti^_3:15 includes all Scripture ^2Ti^_3:16, esp. including Num_12, etc. which empowers us to have saving faith into Jesus!

Morality = Jesus in Scripture

· Where is the moral to the story?

· Where is the morality to the story?

· That’s where Jesus is always at in the Scriptures

Pride Accusation -- Against Moses

Other date(s) (seen below); 4/3/26

Flesh is always accusing people of pride

Both targets & victims

Preview of False Accusation

· Victim: Moses was accused of pride

· Hypocrisy: Great people are inherently not prideful, Therefore…

· Pride Accusations are Cheap: it is blasphemous to cheaply accuse someone of pride who has been made great by brokenness and humility

Greatness Defined… = Humility + coming to right Jesus

>>Scrip:

Mat_7:1-5 – Don’t judge (Also: 1Co_4)

How to Judge:

See: JTC

Judging-The-Church.htm

Flesh Makes Cheap Accusations

The Guesswork of Hypocritical Flesh

· Flesh’s Outsourcing Lies: Generic pride accusations without proof (no witness, wisdom, no Bible obedience) are one of the flesh’s infamous favorite lies to tell.

· Guess Judgements: Flesh continually takes notorious cheap shots and unscientific guess judgements without witnesses, or virtue, or logic, or any attempt toward confirmed Truth.

Real Pride = Worldly Hypocritical Flesh

· Jealous for the World: Pride shows its ugly little head by getting caught up in the power and influence of this world, including jealousy over leadership / people, always thinking it has a right to be right

· Selfish Jealously: power and influence and the prerogative to praise the worldview that one holds to and say what is right and wrong.

· Sinful Here-and-Now: Pride is worldly, selfish, & jealous for the boasting of this life and dirty sin-contaminated age.

· Blames Others for Its Sins: Worldly pride outsources its own dirtiness and terrible guilt on to others by accusing them of the very same scandalous guilt of dirty pride that the flesh itself is tripping up and scandal in.

· Jealous over leadership & Saying that you’re right

· Crazy Projection: flesh gets carried away from its own pride and enflames false accusations of pride against others –

Num_12: Mistaken Accusation

Num_12:1 WEB Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Cushite woman whom he had married; for he had married a Cushite woman.

Num_12:1 LB And Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses, because of the Ethiopian woman whom Moses took; for he had taken an Ethiopian [Αἰθιόπισσαν] woman.

Num_12:1 Καὶ ἐλάλησεν Μαριαμ καὶ Ααρων κατὰ Μωυσῆ ἕνεκεν τῆς γυναικὸς τῆς Αἰθιοπίσσης, ἣν ἔλαβεν Μωυσῆς, ὅτι γυναῖκα Αἰθιόπισσαν ἔλαβεν,

Num_12:2 WEB They said, "Has Yahweh indeed spoken only with Moses? Hasn't he spoken also with us?" And Yahweh heard it.

Num_12:2 And they said, “Has the Lord spoken to Moses only? Has He not also spoken to us?” And the Lord heard it.

Num_12:2 καὶ εἶπαν Μὴ Μωυσῇ μόνῳ λελάληκεν κύριος; οὐχὶ καὶ ἡμῖν ἐλάλησεν; καὶ ἤκουσεν κύριος.

…

Church rebellion reinforces the same mistake Miriam made, only worse…

Church Confusion

· Shallowness: Most church people think Num_12 is about (A) LEADERSHIP & (B) CHURCH-today…

· Truth: Num_12 is about (A) INSPIRATION & (B) OBEYERES-Today!

· Modern Unity: Church says Num_12 teaches us about questioning leadership (vs. blaspheming inspiration) & the need for unity among church/christian brothers
[I found this surprising…! Is there really nothing deeper that you could get from this passage???]

· Uninspired Pastors: CHURCH-today is NOT inspired! --

· Avoid Foolish Disobedience/Absurdities: Don’t (A) ignore Moses’ inspired humiliation (40 years, rejected & forgotten in the wilderness) and then later (B) compare his eventual divine exaltation to today's sinful pastors who constantly persecute Bible obedience, and much less to they have any idea what God is saying and or doing, since they cannot obey ALL the Bible if their life depended on it (because it does) [if pastors are really innocent, then prove it by not persecuting obeyers & repent of all this forbidding them from preaching or teaching in their churches *]

· Inspiration Transcends Leadership: The problems and the lessons in this passage both start and continue far beyond and outside of the context of leadership. (lessons learned -- not confined!)

· Missing the Point: If you get confused with an average church reading of Numbers 12 (as seen in Shallowness above), we all know that you're going to miss the entire point of the passage!

* see: REL > Pastors Persecute Obeyers

Therefore: today’s confusion, blasphemy, & misapplication & disobedience = Hell

The Point: Watch Out for Fleshly reading!

>>Collaborative TAGS:

· Urgent Warning: I am so very deeply concerned for your ears if you're not hearing what this passage is so potently declaring to us!

· Life Threatened: You're in danger of continuing in the sentiment that threatened Miriam's life!

· Falsehood of Flattery: You're in danger of flattering church people today as if they're in Moses’ spot when in fact they're the ones persecuting him! (As seen in Revelation, and all throughout Christianity today)

· Escalating Error: You're about to take Miriam's mistake, which was atoned for (Num_12), and carry it into the rebellion of Kora which was thrown into hell (Num_16), without atonement!

Repent of Switching!

OBEY These Passages!

· Morality!: Remember that the moral of the story is the morality of the story.

· Justifying the Wicked: When you confuse the good guys in the Bible with the rebellions and virtue failures of modern church, then you remove the conviction against apostasy! -- that is (A) perverse disobedience, (B) Moral Inversion *, (C) Switching Sweet & Bitter/Rebellion!

· Unscientific Crimes: Where is the proof of who is True?

· Sin Unchecked: Where is the accountability that stops the flesh dead in its tracks with crucifixion and absolutely dismantles the body of sin from disobeying another Bible verse?

· Controversy Needed: Where is church offended/scandal-ed ** by your light-weight, easy Gospel?

>>>>>>>>

* See: SRP > Moral Inversion

Sin-Repentance-Perfection.htm#MoralInversion

** See: Scandal = Needed!

then the scandal of the Cross has ceased

We need to…

· obsess over passages like Numbers 12 to

· get the real point & convicting-convincing moral to the story enough to

· where the “point” cuts all the way to our consciences, hearts, and souls and

· convicts the guiltiness of the flesh, and

· condemns the sub-divinity and perversity of uninspired flesh, and

· brings real Truth that condemns church hypocrisy enough to stop self-justifying sin, dead in its tracks with crucifixion, and

· actually changes the outcome of people's behavior into righteously obeying these revolutionary transforming passages of righteous inspired Scripture!

Filthy Misapplication

Moses ≠ Pastors Today!

Applying Moses to pastors in churches today is continuing and even advancing moral inversion, not just like Miriam and Aaron's mistake, but actually making progress from Numbers 12 to 14 and 16, into Kora’s end-times apostate rebellion.

Stop Congratulating Persecution!

You don't take the holy reputation that God gave to Moses, who is persecuted by fleshmongers and blasphemed by Kora's rebellion, and then apply Moses's special favor to Kora himself who is still persecuting Moses to this day!

Pastors today are the same group of people who persecuted Moses and murdered Jesus!

(as seen above under REL > Pastors Persecute Obeyers)

Stop Rebelling!

· Misapplied Lesson: Not only are you missing the moral to the story by misapplying Moses to his persecutors (preachers today), but this misapplication actually is…

· Rebellion Repeated: You are recreating the exact same rebellion that climaxed under Kora (Num_16), just like Jude predicted! (Jud_1:11)

· Unlearned Warning: You haven't learned a thing from Numbers 12 if you blindly & hypocritically keep bringing rebellion into Numbers 14 & 16!

>>Scrip: ES /\/\\\/

Kora’s Rebellion (Num_16:3…Num_16:32) -- Predicted by Jude (Jud_1:11)

Num_16:3…Num_16:32; Jud_1:11

Num_16:3 NKJV They gathered together against Moses and Aaron, and said to them, “You take too much upon yourselves, for all the congregation is holy, every one of them, and the LORD is among them. Why then do you exalt yourselves above the assembly of the LORD?”

Num_16:32 NKJV and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them up, with their households and all the men with Korah, with all their goods.

Jud_1:11 NKJV Woe to them! For they have gone in the way of Cain, have run greedily in the error of Balaam for profit, and perished in the rebellion of Korah.

The Leadership Distraction

Heb 3 Disproves Leadership Distraction

3/22/26

Numbers 12 is not about leadership because Hebrews 3 links it with the Israelite rebellions in Numbers 14 -- which started before Moses was a leader!

Flesh Rebellion

· Immoral Right-ness Claims: The flesh wants power and influence and the right/prerogative to say (A) what is right and (B) that it's right!

· Uninspired Pride & Power: The distraction of leadership is closely related to the pride of saying that you're right, without establishing that your inspired - with obedience/proof

· Pride for This Evil Age: Lusting and praising and boasting in circumstantial fleshly worldly exaltation's power and strength is a root perversion of unsaved fleshly heresy and rebellion.

1Co_1:29-31 – that no flesh may boast before God

1Co_1:29 CAB so that no flesh may boast before God.

1Co_1:29 ὅπως μὴ καυχήσηται πᾶσα σὰρξ ἐνώπιον τοῦ Θεοῦ.

1Co_1:29 οπως μη καυχησηται πασα σαρξ ενωπιον BAτου BAθεου TSαυτου

Denying God's Favorites

The flesh is always preoccupied with despising and even vainly trying to prevent every idea of God exalting His favorite approved obedient chosen servants.

Jealous Against Favorites

· Distracted by Celebrity Fame: Leadership and authority is often a social exaltation that the flesh is so flustered and offended about and preoccupied with because it's jealous of worldly social Fame and celebrity recognition.

· Exalted to Rebuke: God exalts His favorite people to testify against the flesh, but the flesh is jealous and lustful of Obeyers social influence, that obeyers don’t even care about

· Different Goal: Inspiration has a very different reason for influencing others…! (Read that difference again, as seen above…)

>>>PENDING

Stop Being Worldly -- Fleshly Jealousy!

The Bible makes these points:

· Unconcerned: Righteous people don't care about or even want social exaltation. (like Moses in Num_11 – 12; Jesus in John 2 – 3; Luk_14:25-35; etc.)

· Worldly Jealousy: The flesh is jealous and blasphemes them as if the clean are unworthy and lustful after social exaltation, when that's the exact opposite of who obeyers are, and what they even care about.

· Obey NOW: We need to stop being fleshly, worldly, soulish, and blind by social jealousy, and start caring about God’s exalted testimony against the flesh, and the Truth of what God says about His favorite people before He exalts them, since He in fact demands that we obey His inspiration (through them) before miracles and visible exaltations and social promotions finally reward them after much patience.

· Flesh Bows to Inspiration: The point of the Bible is that the flesh is responsible for recognizing, believing, embracing, submitting to, and being crucified under the inspiration of Truth wherever God speaks -- His perfect morality of ALL-obedience on the Earth.

· Repent of Denial: It is the wickedness of the flesh to deny God's program and priorities and agenda and mission

See: BOW > Wicked Bow to Righteous

Biblical-Bowing.htm#WickedBowtoRighteous

Leadership is the Recorded Distraction

>>Collaborative TAGS:

· Fleshly Jealousy: Leadership is not in Numbers 12 because the passage is teaching about not questioning leaders, but in fact it is there to show us the typical jealousy and preoccupation of the flesh with idolized power and influence.

· Incidental Leadership: The fact that Moses is a leader in Numbers 12 is circumstantial and incidental, as far as Moses’ integrity and legacy are concerned, but it is intentionally included anyway, because it illustrates how the flesh exploits the exaltation of those who don't care about leadership recognition and glories.

· Exploited Detail -- Authority: Leadership is indeed included in Numbers 12 as an illustration of how it is exploited by the flesh.

· Moses doesn’t care; but flesh does, and expoloits that detail!

· Despising Inspiration: The teaching in Numbers 12 is not about leadership, but rather how the flesh despises inspiration and blames leaders of self-exaltation in leadership, even when that is characteristically not what inspired people are even wanting.

· Blasphemous Accusations: Numbers 12 potentially illustrates the made up, blasphemous, deranged, and morally inverted accusations the flesh makes against inspired people, especially exploiting moral inversion after obeyers happen to have been exalted by God in some way, after much suffering, affliction, and perseverance without glory.

· False Unworthiness: Flesh pretends like righteous, clean, innocent obeyers have not been broken enough to be worthy of the exaltation, which God has plainly approved them with. By this very exalation and brokeness

· Hesitant, Not Hasty!: It is wrong to misrepresent a broken hesitant leader as if they are hastily exalting themselves to leadership, when they are clearly displaying the moral virtue of obedience, which is a morally inverted exact opposite Moral-Inversion-perversion and blasphemy of who God has really made them to be.

Just as God predestined people to heaven or hell and that proves that it's not based on their works by choosing them before they are even born, so also God has proven that faith in Moses's inspiration is not about leadership by choosing his divinely inspired obedience, and demanding it upon the Israelites, 40 years before Moses was ever exalted by God as a leader over them

Opposing Moses BEFORE Leadership <<<<<

3/5/26-3/6/26; 3/8/26; 3/15/26

Assuming Non-inspiration did not start against Moses when he was a leader of Israel, it just continued from when they always already pushed him away…

Exo_2:11 / Act_7:23 – Moses’ Heart Inspired (Heb_11:24-27)

Exo_2:13-14 – Hebrew rejects Moses’ Inspiration (Act_7:27)

Exo_5:20-21 – Israelites blame Moses (after Pharaoh worsens labor)

Exo_14:11-12 – Red Sea complaints (Fearful)

Exo_15:24 – Water Complains (People murmur)

Exo_16:2-3 – Food Complains (by Congregation)

Exo_17:2-3 – People quarrel over water

Exo_32:1 – Demand idols; reject leadership

Num_12:1-2 – Miriam & Aaron challenge Moses (Num_11: <<<)

Num_14:2-4 – Return to Egypt? -- Planed revolt & leader

Num_16:1-3 – Korah rebels against Moses (Num_16:41)

Num_16:41 – Congregation blames Moses (after judgment)

Num_20:2-5 – Meribah Complaints

Num_21:4-5 – Speak against God, Moses

Deu_1:26-27 – Refused command; murmured tents

Psa_106:16 – Envied Moses in camp

Act_7:27 – “Who made you ruler?” (Exo_2:14)

Act_7:35 – God sent rejected Moses

Act_7:39 – Fathers refused obedience

Inspiration = Right!

· Who Says?: Inspiration is the only rule where someone gets to say who and what is right!

· Might is NOT Right!: Flesh jealously pretends rightness is about power and circumstantial leadership

Bad Leaders

Jer_23:10 WEB For the land is full of adulterers; for because of swearing the land mourns; the pastures of the wilderness are dried up. Their course is evil, and their might is not right;

Jer_23:10 LB For because of these things the land mourns; the pastures of the wilderness are dried up; and their course has become evil, and so also their strength.

Jer_23:10 ὅτι ἀπὸ προσώπου τούτων ἐπένθησεν ἡ γῆ, ἐξηράνθησαν αἱ νομαὶ τῆς ἐρήμου, καὶ ἐγένετο ὁ δρόμος αὐτῶν πονηρὸς καὶ ἡ ἰσχὺς αὐτῶν οὐχ οὕτως.

Wicked Prospering

>>Scrip:

Job_21:7 KJV Wherefore do the wicked live, become old, yea, are mighty in power?

Job_21:8 KJV Their seed is established in their sight with them, and their offspring before their eyes.

Job_21:9 KJV Their houses are safe from fear, neither is the rod of God upon them.

Job_21:10 KJV Their bull gendereth, and faileth not; their cow calveth, and casteth not her calf.

Job_21:11 KJV They send forth their little ones like a flock, and their children dance.

Job_21:12 KJV They take the timbrel and harp, and rejoice at the sound of the organ.

Job_21:13 KJV They spend their days in wealth, and in a moment go down to the grave.

Job_21:14 KJV Therefore they say unto God, Depart from us; for we desire not the knowledge of thy ways.

Job_21:15 KJV What is the Almighty, that we should serve him? and what profit should we have, if we pray unto him?

Job_21:16 KJV Lo, their good is not in their hand: the counsel of the wicked is far from me.

Attributing Power to Bad deity

Hab_1:11 KJV Then shall his mind change, and he shall pass over, and offend, imputing this his power unto his god.

Exploiting Advantage = Sinful

Mic_2:1 KJV Woe to them that devise iniquity, and work evil upon their beds! when the morning is light, they practise it, because it is in the power of their hand.

Delayed Punishment → Pride

Ecc_8:11 KJV Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.

Moses’ Early Inspiration

(A) Came Upon His Heart

Act_7:23 CAB Now when he had turned forty years old, it came into his heart [ἀνέβη ἐπὶ τὴν καρδίαν αὐτοῦ] to look upon his brothers, the sons of Israel.

Act_7:23 ῾Ως δὲ ἐπληροῦτο αὐτῷ τεσσερακονταετὴς χρόνος, ἀνέβη ἐπὶ τὴν καρδίαν αὐτοῦ ἐπισκέψασθαι τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς αὐτοῦ τοὺς υἱοὺς ᾿Ισραήλ.

Act_7:23 ως δε επληρουτο αυτω Aτεσσερακονταετης TSBτεσσαρακονταετης χρονος ανεβη επι την καρδιαν αυτου επισκεψασθαι τους αδελφους αυτου τους υιους ισραηλ

Now we can read the preceding backstory…

(B) Went Out To His Brothers

Exo_2:11 WEB It happened in those days, when Moses had grown up, that he went out to his brothers, and looked at their burdens. He saw an Egyptian striking a Hebrew, one of his brothers.

Exo_2:11 LB And it came to pass after some time, that Moses, having grown, went out to his brothers, the sons of Israel. And having noticed their distress, he saw an Egyptian striking a certain Hebrew from among his brothers, the children of Israel.

Exo_2:11 Ἐγένετο δὲ ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ταῖς πολλαῖς ἐκείναις μέγας γενόμενος Μωυσῆς ἐξήλθεν πρὸς τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς αὐτοῦ τοὺς υἱοὺς Ισραηλ. κατανοήσας δὲ τὸν πόνον αὐτῶν ὁρᾷ ἄνθρωπον Αἰγύπτιον τύπτοντά τινα Εβραῖον τῶν ἑαυτοῦ ἀδελφῶν τῶν υἱῶν Ισραηλ·

Exo_2:12 WEB He looked this way and that way, and when he saw that there was no one, he killed the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand.

Exo_2:12 And having looked around this way and that, he saw no one. And he killed the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand.

Exo_2:12 περιβλεψάμενος δὲ ὧδε καὶ ὧδε οὐχ ὁρᾷ οὐδένα καὶ πατάξας τὸν Αἰγύπτιον ἔκρυψεν αὐτὸν ἐν τῇ ἄμμῳ.

(C) Forsaking Egypt’s Treasures for Anointed One: Heb_11:24-27

Heb_11:24 By faith Moses, when he was grown up, refused to be called a son of Pharaoh's daughter,

Heb_11:24 Πίστει Μωϋσῆς μέγας γενόμενος ἠρνήσατο λέγεσθαι υἱὸς θυγατρὸς Φαραώ,

Heb_11:24 πιστει BAμωυσης TSμωσης μεγας γενομενος ηρνησατο λεγεσθαι υιος θυγατρος φαραω

Heb_11:25 choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to have the temporary pleasure of sin,

Heb_11:25 μᾶλλον ἑλόμενος συγκακουχεῖσθαι τῷ λαῷ τοῦ Θεοῦ ἢ πρόσκαιρον ἔχειν ἁμαρτίας ἀπόλαυσιν,

Heb_11:26 regarding the reproach of Christ [τὸν ὀνειδισμὸν τοῦ Χριστοῦ] greater riches than the treasures of Egypt; for he was looking to the reward.

Heb_11:26 μείζονα πλοῦτον ἡγησάμενος τῶν Αἰγύπτου θησαυρῶν τὸν ὀνειδισμὸν τοῦ Χριστοῦ· ἀπέβλεπε γὰρ εἰς τὴν μισθαποδοσίαν.

Heb_11:26 μειζονα πλουτον ηγησαμενος των BAαιγυπτου TSεν TSαιγυπτω θησαυρων τον ονειδισμον του χριστου απεβλεπεν γαρ εις την μισθαποδοσιαν

Heb_11:27 By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the anger of the king; for he endured as seeing the Unseen One.

Heb_11:27 Πίστει κατέλιπεν Αἴγυπτον μὴ φοβηθεὶς τὸν θυμὸν τοῦ βασιλέως· τὸν γὰρ ἀόρατον ὡς ὁρῶν ἐκαρτέρησε

Hebrews 11 - NAME Insults

“reproach” = Greek: name insults [ὀνειδισμὸν (Heb_11:26)]

(D) Joshua Renamed by Moses

3/8/26; 3/13/26

Moses renamed Joshua

Moses Named “Hoshea” into Joshua/Jesus -- Moses Knew Something About This Name!

(i) Sent Out

Num_13:3 WEB Moses sent them from the wilderness of Paran according to the commandment of Yahweh: all of them men who were heads of the children of Israel.

Num_13:3 LB And Moses sent them out of the Wilderness of Paran by the word of the Lord; all these were the princes of the sons of Israel.

Num_13:3 καὶ ἐξαπέστειλεν αὐτοὺς Μωυσῆς ἐκ τῆς ἐρήμου Φαραν διὰ φωνῆς κυρίου· πάντες ἄνδρες ἀρχηγοὶ υἱῶν Ισραηλ οὗτοι.

…

(ii) Hoshea of Ephraim

Num_13:8 WEB Of the tribe of Ephraim, Hoshea the son of Nun.

Num_13:8 LB Of the tribe of Ephraim, Oshea the son of Nun.

Num_13:8 τῆς φυλῆς Εφραιμ Αυση υἱὸς Ναυη·

…

(ii) Hoshea Renamed Joshua/Jesus

Num_13:16 WEB These are the names of the men who Moses sent to spy out the land. Moses called Hoshea [לְהֹושֵׁ֥עַ] the son of Nun Joshua [יְהֹושֻֽׁעַ׃].

Num_13:16 LB These are the names of the men whom Moses sent to spy out the land; and Moses called Oshea [Αυση] the son of Nun, Joshua [Ἰησοῦν].

Num_13:16 ταῦτα τὰ ὀνόματα τῶν ἀνδρῶν, οὓς ἀπέστειλεν Μωυσῆς κατασκέψασθαι τὴν γῆν. καὶ ἐπωνόμασεν Μωυσῆς τὸν Αυση υἱὸν Ναυη Ἰησοῦν.

Hebrew:

i.e. Moses renamed “savior” [Hoshea] to “Lord-Saves” [Joshua/Jesus].

(same as NT, as in Mat_1:21, etc.)

(E) Moses Foreshadows Jesus -- MANY Times

(F) Spirit of Anointed One in them

1Pe_1:9 obtaining for yourselves the outcome your faith--the salvation of your souls.

1Pe_1:9 κομιζόμενοι τὸ τέλος τῆς πίστεως ὑμῶν, σωτηρίαν ψυχῶν.

1Pe_1:9 κομιζομενοι το τελος της πιστεως Aυμων TSBυμων σωτηριαν ψυχων

1Pe_1:10 Concerning this salvation the prophets have sought out and inquired carefully, having prophesied of the grace that would come to you,

1Pe_1:10 Περὶ ἧς σωτηρίας ἐξεζήτησαν καὶ ἐξηραύνησαν προφῆται οἱ περὶ τῆς εἰς ὑμᾶς χάριτος προφητεύσαντες,

1Pe_1:11 searching for who or what kind of time the Spirit of Christ in them was revealing when He testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ and the glories which were to follow:

1Pe_1:11 ἐραυνῶντες εἰς τίνα ἢ ποῖον καιρὸν ἐδήλου τὸ ἐν αὐτοῖς Πνεῦμα Χριστοῦ προμαρτυρόμενον τὰ εἰς Χριστὸν παθήματα καὶ τὰς μετὰ ταῦτα δόξας·

1Pe_1:12 To them it was revealed that, not to themselves, but to you they were ministering these things, which things were now announced to you by those who proclaimed the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven--things which angels desire to look into.

1Pe_1:12 οἷς ἀπεκαλύφθη ὅτι οὐχ ἑαυτοῖς, ὑμῖν δὲ διηκόνουν αὐτά, ἃ νῦν ἀνηγγέλη ὑμῖν διὰ τῶν εὐαγγελισαμένων ὑμᾶς ἐν Πνεύματι ῾Αγίῳ ἀποσταλέντι ἀπ᾿ οὐρανοῦ, εἰς ἃ ἐπιθυμοῦσιν ἄγγελοι παρακύψαι.

Pushing Moses: Jealous of Leadership

Act_7:23 CAB Now when he had turned forty years old, it came into his heart to look upon his brothers, the sons of Israel.

Act_7:24 And seeing someone being wronged, he retaliated, and avenged him who was being oppressed, and struck the Egyptian.

Act_7:24 καὶ ἰδών τινα ἀδικούμενον ἠμύνατο, καὶ ἐποίησεν ἐκδίκησιν τῷ καταπονουμένῳ πατάξας τὸν Αἰγύπτιον.

Act_7:24 και ιδων τινα αδικουμενον ημυνατο και εποιησεν εκδικησιν τω καταπονουμενω παταξας τον αιγυπτιον

Act_7:25 For he supposed that his brothers understood that God was giving to them deliverance by his hand, but they did not understand.

Act_7:25 ἐνόμιζε δὲ συνιέναι τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς αὐτοῦ ὅτι ὁ Θεὸς διὰ χειρὸς αὐτοῦ δίδωσιν αὐτοῖς σωτηρίαν· οἱ δὲ οὐ συνῆκαν.

Act_7:25 ενομιζεν δε συνιεναι τους αδελφους Aαυτου TSBαυτου οτι ο θεος δια χειρος αυτου διδωσιν TSBαυτοις σωτηριαν Aαυτοις οι δε ου συνηκαν

Act_

Act_7:26 And on the next day he appeared to them as they were fighting, and tried to reconcile them to peace, saying, 'Men, you are brothers; why do you wrong one another?'

Act_7:26 τῇ τε ἐπιούσῃ ἡμέρᾳ ὤφθη αὐτοῖς μαχομένοις, καὶ συνήλλασσεν αὐτοὺς εἰς εἰρήνην εἰπών· ἄνδρες, ἀδελφοί ἐστε ὑμεῖς· ἵνα τί ἀδικεῖτε ἀλλήλους;

Act_7:27 "But the one wronging his neighbor pushed him away, saying, 'Who appointed you a ruler and a judge over us?

Rebellious Flesh

· Blind to Truth: Flesh is jealous about leadership, and dreadfully ignorant about inspiration!

· Divine Authority: Moses’ ultimate authority to say what was right and wrong, came from his inspiration about The Anointed One (seen above; name of Anointed One), and…

· Self-Willed Rebellion: the flesh despises inspiration, assumes it's not there, and pretends obeyers need fleshly brute force to be worthy to rule their fleshly wicked rebellious selves! (Flesh is not submissive to God’s will, as shown through inspiration.)

· >>Scrip:

· The Faith Need: No wonder why Moses wondered why or how they might believe him and Exodus 3 and 4.

· Church is Still Denying Inspiration: The rebellious & unbelieving Israelites were Just like church people today, who haven’t learned anything moral from Num_12 or Acts 7!

Inspiration was FIRST → Leadership was AFTER their Rebellion Started

Act_7:35 This Moses whom they denied, saying, 'Who appointed you a ruler and a judge?' [τίς σε κατέστησεν ἄρχοντα καὶ δικαστήν] This man God sent as a ruler and redeemer [ἄρχοντα καὶ λυτρωτὴν ἀπέσταλκεν] by the hand of the Angel who appeared to him in the bush.

Act_7:35 Τοῦτον τὸν Μωϋσῆν ὃν ἠρνήσαντο εἰπόντες· τίς σε κατέστησεν ἄρχοντα καὶ δικαστήν; τοῦτον ὁ Θεὸς ἄρχοντα καὶ λυτρωτὴν ἀπέσταλκεν ἐν χειρὶ ἀγγέλου τοῦ ὀφθέντος αὐτῷ ἐν τῇ βάτῳ.

Again,

We see the treachery of the Leadership Distraction, disproven as we also see it in Heb_3

Rebellions Continued

Act_7:38 This is he who was in the congregation in the wilderness with the Angel who was speaking to him on Mount Sinai, and with our fathers, the one who received the living oracles to give to us,

Act_7:38 οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ γενόμενος ἐν τῇ ἐκκλησίᾳ ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ μετὰ τοῦ ἀγγέλου τοῦ λαλοῦντος αὐτῷ ἐν τῷ ὄρει Σινᾶ καὶ τῶν πατέρων ἡμῶν, ὃς ἐδέξατο λόγια ζῶντα δοῦναι ἡμῖν.

Act_7:39 whom our fathers did not desire to be obedient [οὐκ ἠθέλησαν ὑπήκοοι γενέσθαι], but they rejected [ἀπώσαντο] him and returned [ καὶ ἐστράφησαν] in their heart back to Egypt,

Act_7:39 ᾧ οὐκ ἠθέλησαν ὑπήκοοι γενέσθαι οἱ πατέρες ἡμῶν, ἀλλ᾿ ἀπώσαντο καὶ ἐστράφησαν ταῖς καρδίαις αὐτῶν εἰς Αἴγυπτον

Rejecting INSPIRATION, Not Leadership!

Act_7:51 "You stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears! You always resist the Holy Spirit; as your fathers did, you also do.

Act_7:52 Which of the prophets did your fathers not persecute? And they killed those who foretold about the coming of the Righteous One, of whom you have now become betrayers and murderers,

Act_7:52 τίνα τῶν προφητῶν οὐκ ἐδίωξαν οἱ πατέρες ὑμῶν; καὶ ἀπέκτειναν τοὺς προκαταγγείλαντας περὶ τῆς ἐλεύσεως τοῦ δικαίου, οὗ νῦν ὑμεῖς προδόται καὶ φονεῖς γεγένησθε·

Act_7:53 who have received the law as the ordinances of angels and you did not keep it."

Stephen

· Stephen is not a leader! -- Especially of those wicked hardhearted murderous apostate rebellious Israelites

· Stephen ≈ Moses: They did to Stephen what they imagined and constantly lusted to do the Moses -- 40 years before He was a leader of Israel!

Flesh Stones Obeyers

Flesh Sought to Stone Moses (Exo_17:4, etc.), Joshua, Caleb (Num_14:10), and Stephen (Act_7:57-59)…

NOT Leadership!: This stoning is NOT limited to LEADERSHIP, but is instead characteristic persecution against inspiration!

(A) Exo_17:4 – Israelites were about the stone Moses

Exo_17:4 WEB Moses cried to Yahweh, saying, "What shall I do with these people? They are almost ready to stone me."

Exo_17:4 CAB And Moses cried to the Lord, saying, “What shall I do to this people? Yet a little while and they will stone me.”

Num_14:6 WEB Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, who were of those who spied out the land, tore their clothes:

Num_14:6 LB But Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, of those that spied out the land, tore their clothes,

Num_14:6 Ἰησοῦς δὲ ὁ τοῦ Ναυη καὶ Χαλεβ ὁ τοῦ Ιεφοννη τῶν κατασκεψαμένων τὴν γῆν διέρρηξαν τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτῶν

Num_14:10 WEB But all the congregation bade stone them with stones. The glory of Yahweh appeared in the Tent of Meeting to all the children of Israel.

Num_14:10 LB And all the congregation said to stone them with stones; and the glory of the Lord appeared in the cloud on the tabernacle of witness to all the children of Israel.

Num_14:10 καὶ εἶπεν πᾶσα ἡ συναγωγὴ καταλιθοβολῆσαι αὐτοὺς ἐν λίθοις. καὶ ἡ δόξα κυρίου ὤφθη ἐν νεφέλῃ ἐπὶ τῆς σκηνῆς τοῦ μαρτυρίου ἐν πᾶσι τοῖς υἱοῖς Ισραηλ.

Act_7:57 CAB Then they cried out with a loud voice, stopped their ears, and ran at him with one purpose;

Act_7:57 κράξαντες δὲ φωνῇ μεγάλῃ συνέσχον τὰ ὦτα αὐτῶν καὶ ὥρμησαν ὁμοθυμαδὸν ἐπ᾿ αὐτόν,

Act_7:58 and casting him outside the city, they stoned him. And the witnesses laid down their clothes beside the feet of a young man named Saul.

Act_7:58 καὶ ἐκβαλόντες ἔξω τῆς πόλεως ἐλιθοβόλουν. καὶ οἱ μάρτυρες ἀπέθεντο τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτῶν παρὰ τοὺς πόδας νεανίου καλουμένου Σαύλου,

Act_7:58 και εκβαλοντες εξω της πολεως ελιθοβολουν και οι μαρτυρες απεθεντο τα ιματια TSAαυτων παρα τους ποδας νεανιου καλουμενου σαυλου

Act_7:59 And they stoned Stephen as he was calling on God and saying, "Lord Jesus, receive my spirit."

Act_7:59 καὶ ἐλιθοβόλουν τὸν Στέφανον, ἐπικαλούμενον καὶ λέγοντα· Κύριε ᾿Ιησοῦ, δέξαι τὸ πνεῦμά μου.

Act_7:59 και ελιθοβολουν τον στεφανον επικαλουμενον και λεγοντα κυριε ιησου δεξαι το πνευμα μου

Act_7:60 Then he knelt down and cried out with a loud voice, "Lord, do not charge them with this sin." And having said this, he fell asleep."

Act_7:60 θεὶς δὲ τὰ γόνατα ἔκραξε φωνῇ μεγάλῃ· Κύριε, μὴ στήσῃς αὐτοῖς τὴν ἁμαρτίαν ταύτην. καὶ τοῦτο εἰπὼν ἐκοιμήθη.

Stephen’s APPLICATION of Moses’ Example

Stephen APPLIED Moses’s persecuted example to the Spirit Stephen was speaking to them by right in front of their faces that day.

Flesh does not want to believe the moral inspiration of obedience could ever be speaking to them today, especially through a perfectly virtuous obeyer who is walking in perfect cleanness, purity, and perfection from heaven. -- and they act like the plain display of goodness is not proven, when it is according to the SOM (Mat_5:17-20; Mat_7, etc.)

Obey & Apply it Today!

We need to apply Stephen & Moses directly to us today as well, if we are ever going to be Bible Obeyers!

Inspiration = Root Issue

Leadership is SECONDARY -- far down the emphasis

Church Confusion Has to STOP!

>>Collaborative TAGS:

· Habitual Hardness: Making a mistake and not understanding Numbers 12 is partly understandable if you have always lived a shallow life, but if you characteristically habitually keep going wrong then you are the sinning hardhearted Israelites in Numbers 12, 14, 16, and Hebrews 3!

· Continued Rebellion: When church people keep saying that Numbers 12 is about “leadership”, they are still resisting The One Spirit Who is Holy to this day, right along with their sinning apostate rebellious Jewish fathers!

· Obedience Ambition: It is high time to have a clean ambition to finally overcome delusional apostasy and actually take the Bible to heart and finally obey what is right in front of our faces today!

Is Leadership Here At All?

3/13/26-3/14/26

· Exclusively Inspired Application/Relevance: Numbers 12 only applies to leadership that was inspired and rejected before leadership!

· Repent into Admiration: It is high time the flesh zealously repents and embraces the Truth of inspired obedience!

Stop Word-Fighting! -- Silence is Golden

The Last Word

· Children want the last word

· Fleshly people want the last word in an argument

· There is no way to ever get to Truth in conflicts with fleshly ambitions

Do Not Fight Over Words (2Ti_2:14; Tit_3:9)

ES: A Worker Approved by God

2Ti_2:14 CAB Remind them of these things, charging them before the Lord not to dispute about words, useful for nothing, for the ruin of the hearers.

2Ti_2:14 Ταῦτα ὑπομίμνῃσκε, διαμαρτυρόμενος ἐνώπιον τοῦ Κυρίου μὴ λογομαχεῖν, εἰς οὐδὲν χρήσιμον, ἐπὶ καταστροφῇ τῶν ἀκουόντων.

2Ti_2:15 Be diligent to show yourself approved unto God, a worker unashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

2Ti_2:15 σπούδασον σεαυτὸν δόκιμον παραστῆσαι τῷ Θεῷ, ἐργάτην ἀνεπαίσχυντον, ὀρθοτομοῦντα τὸν λόγον τῆς ἀληθείας.

2Ti_2:15 σπουδασον σεαυτον δοκιμον παραστησαι τω θεω εργατην ανεπαισχυντον ορθοτομουντα τον λογον της αληθειας

2Ti_2:16 But shun profane and empty babblings; for they will advance to more ungodliness.

√ GNT-V

Notice the vain escalation of word fights!

2Ti_2:23-26 – Servant of Lord must not fight

Other date(s); 3/15/26; 3/19/26

2Ti_2:23 CAB But reject foolish and ignorant disputes, knowing that they bring forth fights.

2Ti_2:23 τὰς δὲ μωρὰς καὶ ἀπαιδεύτους ζητήσεις παραιτοῦ, εἰδὼς ὅτι γεννῶσι μάχας·

2Ti_2:24 And a servant of the Lord ought not to fight, but to be gentle to all, skillful at teaching, forbearing,

2Ti_2:24 δοῦλον δὲ Κυρίου οὐ δεῖ μάχεσθαι, ἀλλ᾿ ἤπιον εἶναι πρὸς πάντας, διδακτικόν, ἀνεξίκακον,

2Ti_2:24 δουλον δε κυριου ου δει μαχεσθαι Aαλλα TSBαλλ ηπιον ειναι προς παντας διδακτικον ανεξικακον

2Ti_2:25 in meekness instructing those that oppose, if God perhaps may give them repentance, to a full knowledge of the truth,

2Ti_2:25 ἐν πρᾳότητι παιδεύοντα τοὺς ἀντιδιατιθεμένους, μήποτε δῷ αὐτοῖς ὁ Θεὸς μετάνοιαν εἰς ἐπίγνωσιν ἀληθείας,

2Ti_2:25 εν Aπραυτητι TSBπραοτητι παιδευοντα τους αντιδιατιθεμενους μηποτε Aδωη TSBδω αυτοις ο θεος μετανοιαν εις επιγνωσιν αληθειας

2Ti_2:26 and they regain their senses and escape out of the snare of the devil, having been captured alive by him to do his will.

2Ti_2:26 καὶ ἀνανήψωσιν ἐκ τῆς τοῦ διαβόλου παγίδος, ἐζωγρημένοι ὑπ᾿ αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸ ἐκείνου θέλημα.

√ GNT-V

Avoiding bad arguments (2Ti_2:23-26) is a prerequisite for embracing the inspiration of the inspired Scriptures in the next chapters (2Ti_3 – 2Ti_4).

Titus 3 – Unprofitable & Useless

Tit_3:9 CAB But avoid foolish disputes and genealogies, and strifes and legal fights; for they are unprofitable and futile.

Tit_3:9 μωρὰς δὲ ζητήσεις καὶ γενεαλογίας καὶ ἔρεις καὶ μάχας νομικὰς περιΐστασο· εἰσὶ γὰρ ἀνωφελεῖς καὶ μάταιοι.

Tit_3:10 Reject a divisive man after the first and second admonition,

Tit_3:10 αἱρετικὸν ἄνθρωπον μετὰ μίαν καὶ δευτέραν νουθεσίαν παραιτοῦ,

Tit_3:11 knowing that such a person has been perverted and is sinning, being self-condemned.

1 Peter 3 - Win Him Without A Word

Context: Hard & Abusive masters

1Pe_3:1 NKJV Wives, likewise, be submissive to your own husbands, that even if some do not obey the word, they, without a word, may be won by the conduct of their

Acts: Dialoged! Not word fight!

When there is an irrational debate/argument/competition, obeyers know that logical persuasion is no longer an available option.

And therefore, only the flesh uses brute force and conversation cheating to prove itself right, especially in the New Covenant.

Real prophets patiently wait for God because they know He always has the final Judgement against the sinning flesh.

Story: My Brother’s Persecution & Judgement

My brother persecuted me ever since I wanted to be a good guy (2Ti_3:12)

And sometimes God gives us previews and potent illustrations in this life of how the Judgment will have the last word to prove the guilty worthy of punishment.

Joh_8:6 CAB But this they said, testing Him, that they might have an accusation against Him. But Jesus, stooping down, began to write on the ground with His finger, not taking notice.

Joh_8:6 τοῦτο δὲ ἔλεγον πειράζοντες αὐτόν, ἵνα ἔχωσι κατηγορεῖν αὐτοῦ. ὁ δὲ ᾿Ιησοῦς κάτω κύψας τῷ δακτύλῳ ἔγραφεν εἰς τὴν γῆν.

Mat_27:12 CAB And while He was being accused by the chief priests and elders, He answered nothing.

Mat_27:12 καὶ ἐν τῷ κατηγορεῖσθαι αὐτὸν ὑπὸ τῶν ἀρχιερέων καὶ τῶν πρεσβυτέρων οὐδὲν ἀπεκρίνατο.

Isa_53:7 LB And He, because of His affliction, opened not His mouth; He was led as a sheep to the slaughter, and as a lamb before the shearer is silent, so He opened not His mouth.

Isa_53:7 καὶ αὐτὸς διὰ τὸ κεκακῶσθαι οὐκ ἀνοίγει τὸ στόμα· ὡς πρόβατον ἐπὶ σφαγὴν ἤχθη καὶ ὡς ἀμνὸς ἐναντίον τοῦ κείροντος αὐτὸν ἄφωνος οὕτως οὐκ ἀνοίγει τὸ στόμα αὐτοῦ.

Isa_53:8 WEB He was taken away by oppression and judgment; and as for his generation, who considered that he was cut off out of the land of the living and stricken for the disobedience of my people?

Isa_53:8 In His humiliation His judgment was taken away; who shall declare His generation? For His life is taken away from the earth; because of the iniquities of My people He was led to death.

Look Who's Talking -- in Numbers 12 << refine

Num_12:1 — Miriam and Aaron criticize Moses

Num_12:2 — Miriam and Aaron question Moses

Num_12:3 — narrator describes Moses’ humility

Num_12:4 — LORD summons Moses, Aaron, Miriam

Num_12:5 — LORD descends and calls them

Num_12:6 — LORD speaks prophetic distinction

Num_12:7 — LORD defends Moses’ faithfulness

Num_12:9 — LORD anger kindled, departs

Num_12:10 — LORD strikes Miriam leprous

Num_12:11 — Aaron pleads with Moses

Num_12:12 — Aaron begs Miriam not ruined

Num_12:13 — Moses cries to the LORD

Num_12:14 — LORD answers Moses about Miriam

Num_12:15 — narrator reports Miriam confined

Num_12:16 — narrator reports Israel moves camp

Moses doesn’t speak until Num_12:13.

What does Moses’ initial silence teach us?

What testimony are the Scriptures giving Moses?

Look Who's Talking?

3/15/26;
Or maybe it's even better to ask...
Look who's NOT talking!

Look at him who is not talking...
I see Jesus in Moses's character!
Do you?
Are you infatuated and amazed with the character -wisdom of Jesus inside of Moses- and divinely inspired wisdom of Jesus living out through Moses echoing throughout the Scriptures, agreeing with Jeremiah, foreshadowing the virtue of Truth that would crucify the Flesh and save the whole world?

Moses’ Silence = Meekness of Wisdom (Jam_3:13)

3/13/26…3/22/26

Meekness of Anointed One (Mat_11:29; 2Co_10:1)

And

The wisdom (2Ti_3:15) of the inspired Scriptures (2Ti_3:16) that saves you (2Ti_3:14-17)

Because it is the character and identity of Jesus’ Meekness Mat_11:29; 2Co_10:1

and it is certainly taboo to think that Jesus's character & identity doesn't Save you!

Scripture Quotations:

>>Scrip: ES \/\/\/\/\/

Meekness of Wisdom

ES: Wisdom from Above

Jam_3:13 CAB Is there anyone wise and understanding among you? Let him show by his good conduct that his works are in meekness of wisdom.

Jam_3:13 Τίς σοφὸς καὶ ἐπιστήμων ἐν ὑμῖν; δειξάτω ἐκ τῆς καλῆς ἀναστροφῆς τὰ ἔργα αὐτοῦ ἐν πρᾳότητι σοφίας.

Jam_3:13 τις σοφος και επιστημων εν υμιν δειξατω εκ της καλης αναστροφης τα εργα αυτου εν πραυτητι σοφιας

Jam_3:14 But if you have bitter jealousy and strife in your heart, do not boast and lie against the truth.

Jam_3:14 εἰ δὲ ζῆλον πικρὸν ἔχετε καὶ ἐρίθειαν ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ ὑμῶν, μὴ κατακαυχᾶσθε καὶ ψεύδεσθε κατὰ τῆς ἀληθείας.

Jam_3:14 ει δε ζηλον πικρον εχετε και εριθειαν εν τη καρδια υμων μη κατακαυχασθε και ψευδεσθε κατα της αληθειας

Jam_3:15 This wisdom is not that which comes down from above, but is earthly, sensual, demonic.

Jam_3:15 οὐκ ἔστιν αὕτη ἡ σοφία ἄνωθεν κατερχομένη, ἀλλ᾿ ἐπίγειος, ψυχική, δαιμονιώδης.

Jam_3:15 ουκ εστιν αυτη η σοφια ανωθεν κατερχομενη Aαλλα TSBαλλ επιγειος ψυχικη δαιμονιωδης

Jam_3:16 For where jealousy and strife exist, there unrest and every evil deed are.

Jam_3:16 ὅπου γὰρ ζῆλος καὶ ἐριθεία, ἐκεῖ ἀκαταστασία καὶ πᾶν φαῦλον πρᾶγμα.

Jam_3:16 οπου γαρ ζηλος και εριθεια εκει ακαταστασια και παν φαυλον πραγμα

Jam_3:17 But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy.

Jam_3:17 ἡ δὲ ἄνωθεν σοφία πρῶτον μὲν ἁγνή ἐστιν, ἔπειτα εἰρήνική, ἐπιεικής, εὐπειθής, μεστὴ ἐλέους καὶ καρπῶν ἀγαθῶν, ἀδιάκριτος καὶ ἀνυπόκριτος.

Jam_3:18 Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those making peace.

Mat_11:29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart [πρᾷός εἰμι καὶ ταπεινὸς τῇ καρδίᾳ], and you will find rest for your souls.

Moses = meekest; So is Jesus

Notice there's nothing wrong with Jesus or Moses describing themselves as being meek, even if Moses is accused of writing that about Himself in Number 12.

(B) Paul Says Jesus Is Meek

ES: Paul Defends His Ministry

2Co_10:1 CAB Now I, Paul, myself appeal to you [παρακαλῶ ὑμᾶς] by the meekness and gentleness of Christ [διὰ τῆς πρᾳότητος καὶ ἐπιεικείας τοῦ Χριστοῦ], I who face to face am lowly [ταπεινὸς] among you, but when I am away am bold toward you.

2Co_10:1 Αὐτὸς δὲ ἐγὼ Παῦλος παρακαλῶ ὑμᾶς διὰ τῆς πρᾳότητος καὶ ἐπιεικείας τοῦ Χριστοῦ, ὃς κατὰ πρόσωπον μὲν ταπεινὸς ἐν ὑμῖν, ἀπὼν δὲ θαρρῶ εἰς ὑμᾶς·

2Co_10:2 But I beseech you that when I am present I may not be bold with the confidence with which I plan to be bold toward some, who consider us as walking according to the flesh.

2Co_10:2 δέομαι δὲ τὸ μὴ παρὼν θαρρῆσαι τῇ πεποιθήσει ᾗ λογίζομαι τολμῆσαι ἐπί τινας τοὺς λογιζομένους ἡμᾶς ὡς κατὰ σάρκα περιπατοῦντας.

Do you need humility to be saved?

The Point: Imitate Jesus’ meekness of saving wisdom to be saved!

Just as Jesus had faith in the Father to save Him (Heb_5:7) so also we need to Imitate Jesus’ saving submissive, humble, meek wisdom to be saved by Him.

Jesus was a Beggar -- (Reminder!)

Begging* = Faith = Heaven: Psa_34:1-22, etc. = Mat_5:3-12, etc. ^(2)(vi) = Luk_6:20-23 = Luk_16:20-22 = Jam_2:5 = 2Co_6:3-10 ^(iii)‡ ↔ 2Co_8:9

Heb_5:7 – To the One Who Could Save Him From Death

Heb_5:7 CAB who, in the days of His flesh, when He had offered up both prayers and supplications, with strong crying and tears to the One who was able to save [σῴζειν] Him from death, and was heard because of His fear of God,

Heb_5:7 ὃς ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις τῆς σαρκὸς αὐτοῦ δεήσεις τε καὶ ἱκετηρίας πρὸς τὸν δυνάμενον σῴζειν αὐτὸν ἐκ θανάτου μετὰ κραυγῆς ἰσχυρᾶς καὶ δακρύων προσενέγκας, καὶ εἰσακουσθεὶς ἀπὸ τῆς εὐλαβείας,

Heb_5:8 though He was a Son, He learned obedience [ὑπακοήν] by the things which He suffered.

Heb_5:8 καίπερ ὢν υἱὸς, ἔμαθεν ἀφ᾿ ὧν ἔπαθε τὴν ὑπακοήν,

Heb_5:9 And having been perfected, He became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him [ὑπακούουσιν αὐτῷ],

Heb_5:9 καὶ τελειωθεὶς ἐγένετο τοῖς ὑπακούουσιν αὐτῷ πᾶσιν αἴτιος σωτηρίας αἰωνίου,

Heb_5:9 και τελειωθεις εγενετο Aπασιν τοις υπακουουσιν αυτω TSBπασιν αιτιος σωτηριας αιωνιου

The Breaking of Moses

Moses was Broken

Preview of Moses’ Breaking

· Mighty in Word & Deed: Act_7:22

· Left Egypt’s Leadership:

· Inspired to Save: Act_7:23-25

· 40 Years Passed: Act_7:23 (40yrOld); Exo_2:15 (flees); ·Act_7:30 / Exo_7:7 (40yrLater); [Act_7:36 (Wanderings)]

· Ineloquent: Exo_4:10; Exo_6:12, Exo_6:30

· Leadership Avoidance: Exo_3:11; Exo_4:1; Exo_4:10; Exo_4:13; Exo_4:18 (Reluctant Return); Exo_5:22-23; Exo_6:12; Exo_6:30; Num_11:11; Num_11:14; Num_11:15

Moses’ 40 Year Intervals

Act_7:23 — Moses = 40, visits Israel

Exo_2:15 — Moses flees Egypt

Act_7:30, etc. — 40 years later → Burning Bush (in wilderness)
[40+40 = 80]

Exo_7:7 — Moses = 80, before Pharaoh

Act_7:36 — 40 more years Leading Israel

The Point: Inspired at 40; Broken at 80; Consistently Humble

· 40: Moses was inspired 40 years before he was a leader of Israel

· 80: Moses was deeply broken after 80 years of preparation

· NO Leadership Ambitions: Moses was sacrificing leadership at 40 & avoiding it at 80

· What’s Your Motivation?: Do you really want to be great in God's kingdom (like you’re supposed to)?

· Hunger for Humility: Are you praying for God to break you?

Broken Virtue

· Give Up Conflict: When you're broken you have no more room in your entire deepest being for vain conflict and useless escalations.

· No Wasted Emotions: You have no more room in your conscience or soul for hearing hurt, getting flustered, escalating vanity, thinking wrong, neglecting self-correction and neglecting to beg obeyers for help, or accusing such righteous people

>>Scrip: ES

Eph_6:9 – give up threatening

The Point: You should want to be great in God's kingdom, therefore you should be praying for God to break you so that you no longer have any fleshly praise or vain-empty ambitions in this world and in this life.

In Moses’ life, his breaking made him avoid leadership for very understandable reasons…

James 3 Teacher Warnings

3/8/26; 3/14/26-3/15/26

No Hasty Teachers

Jam_3:1 – James not many of you should be teachers

ES: Taming the Tongue

Jam_3:1 CAB My brothers, let not many become teachers, knowing that we shall receive greater judgment.

Jam_3:1 Μὴ πολλοὶ διδάσκαλοι γίνεσθε, ἀδελφοί μου, εἰδότες ὅτι μεῖζον κρίμα ληψόμεθα·

Jam_3:1 μη πολλοι διδασκαλοι γινεσθε αδελφοι μου ειδοτες οτι μειζον κριμα Aλημψομεθα TSBληψομεθα

Jam3:2 For we all stumble in many ways. If anyone does not stumble in word, he is a mature [τέλειος – completely-perfect] man, able also to bridle the whole body.

Jam_3:2 πολλὰ γὰρ πταίομεν ἅπαντες. εἴ τις ἐν λόγῳ οὐ πταίει, οὗτος τέλειος ἀνήρ, δυνατὸς χαλιναγωγῆσαι καὶ ὅλον τὸ σῶμα.

√ GNT-V

Necessary Leadership -- Not Lusted For

(A) Owing Moral Maturity

· Heb_5:12, etc. you owe / should be teachers by now

· Heb_6 – move on to full growth

Heb_5:12 CAB For indeed, although you ought to be teachers by this time, again you have need for someone to teach you what are the elements of the beginning of the oracles of God; and you have come to need milk and not solid food.

Heb_5:12 καὶ γὰρ ὀφείλοντες εἶναι διδάσκαλοι διὰ τὸν χρόνον, πάλιν χρείαν ἔχετε τοῦ διδάσκειν ὑμᾶς τινα τὰ στοιχεῖα τῆς ἀρχῆς τῶν λογίων τοῦ Θεοῦ, καὶ γεγόνατε χρείαν ἔχοντες γάλακτος καὶ οὐ στερεᾶς τροφῆς.

Heb_5:12 και γαρ οφειλοντες ειναι διδασκαλοι δια τον χρονον παλιν χρειαν εχετε του διδασκειν υμας τινα τα στοιχεια της αρχης των λογιων του θεου και γεγονατε χρειαν εχοντες γαλακτος Aκαι TSBκαι ου στερεας τροφης

Heb_5:13 For everyone who partakes of milk is unacquainted with the word of righteousness, for he is an infant.

Heb_5:13 πᾶς γὰρ ὁ μετέχων γάλακτος ἄπειρος λόγου δικαιοσύνης· νήπιος γάρ ἐστι·

Heb_5:13 πας γαρ ο μετεχων γαλακτος απειρος λογου δικαιοσυνης νηπιος γαρ εστιν

Heb_5:14 But solid food is for the mature, for those because of their practice have their senses trained for the distinguishing of both good and evil.

Heb_5:14 τελείων δέ ἐστιν ἡ στερεὰ τροφή, τῶν διὰ τὴν ἕξιν τὰ αἰσθητήρια γεγυμνασμένα ἐχόντων πρὸς διάκρισιν καλοῦ τε καὶ κακοῦ.

√ GNT-V

Heb_6:1 CAB Therefore, leaving the subject of the beginning of Christ, let us be moved to perfection, not again laying down a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God,

Heb_6:1 Διὸ ἀφέντες τὸν τῆς ἀρχῆς τοῦ Χριστοῦ λόγον ἐπὶ τὴν τελειότητα φερώμεθα, μὴ πάλιν θεμέλιον καταβαλλόμενοι μετανοίας ἀπὸ νεκρῶν ἔργων, καὶ πίστεως ἐπὶ Θεόν,

Heb_6:1 διο αφεντες τον της αρχης του χριστου λογον επι την τελειοτητα φερωμεθα μη παλιν θεμελιον καταβαλλομενοι μετανοιας απο νεκρων εργων και πιστεως επι θεον

Heb_6:2 of the doctrine of baptisms, of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.

Heb_6:2 βαπτισμῶν διδαχῆς, ἐπιθέσεώς τε χειρῶν, ἀναστάσεώς τε νεκρῶν, καὶ κρίματος αἰωνίου.

Heb_6:2 βαπτισμων διδαχης επιθεσεως τε χειρων αναστασεως τε νεκρων και κριματος αιωνιου

Heb_6:3 And let us do this if indeed God permits.

Heb_6:3 καὶ τοῦτο ποιήσομεν, ἐάνπερ ἐπιτρέπῃ ὁ Θεός.

Heb_6:3 και τουτο Bποιησωμεν TSAποιησομεν εανπερ επιτρεπη ο θεος

Owing a debt of being grown up enough to be a teacher is not the same as being Hasty to self-appoint yourself as a teacher, obviously

Therefore…

(B) Reaching for Oversight

It's not that all leadership aspirations are wrong (1st Timothy 3).

But we still need to first establish fear of God to have No Hasty Teacher Ambitions!

Leadership Avoidance -- of Moses

Moses Was Avoiding Leadership!

Moses Left Egypt's Leadership Position

No Leadership Vacuum Seizing

Those who quickly fill a leadership vacuum are wrong and unworthy to lead

Those who are meek and fearful of assuming leadership are the closest to God’s ordained exaltation.

(A) Moses = Happier in Exiled Wilderness

Exo_2:15 / Act_7:29 — Moses fled to Midian from Pharaoh

Heb_11:27 — Forsook Egypt, not fearing king

Exo_2:16 — Meets Midian Priest & Daughters

Exo_2:21 — Lives with Jethro

Act_7:30 — 40 Years Wilderness

Exo_2:22 — Son born in exile (comp. Joseph in Gen_41:51 below)

Exo_3:1 — Shepherding Jethro’s flock

Exo_18:1 — Jethro hears God’s deliverance

Exo_18:2 — Zipporah returned to Moses

Joseph forgot father’s house (when naming his son)

Joseph forgetting his father’s house when naming his son

Gen_41:51 WEB Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh, "For," he said, "God has made me forget all my toil, and all my father's house."

Gen_41:51 LB And Joseph called the name of the firstborn, Manasseh; “For God,” he said, “has made me forget all my toils, and all my father’s house.”

Gen_41:51 ἐκάλεσεν δὲ Ιωσηφ τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ πρωτοτόκου Μανασση, ὅτι Ἐπιλαθέσθαι με ἐποίησεν ὁ θεὸς πάντων τῶν πόνων μου καὶ πάντων τῶν τοῦ πατρός μου.

Gen_41:51

Joseph & Moses = Happier in Exile

· There are similarities between Joseph and Moses went being exiled from Israel.

· They were both happier in exile than the prospect of reunion.

(B) Moses Wanted Out! -- Exodus 3 – 6 & Numbers 11

3/8/26; 3/10/26; 3/26/26

>>TSK!!

Exo_3:11 — Who am I to go?

Exo_4:1 — Might Not Believe! (What If They Won’t Believe?)

Exo_4:10 — Slow Speech (Reluctance) [LXX: ἰσχνόφωνος {weak/dry-voice/sound-ed} καὶ βραδύγλωσσος {slow/heavy-tongued} ἐγώ εἰμ]

Exo_4:13 — Send Someone Else

Exo_4:18 — Returned from Midian (After Reluctance)

Exo_5:22-23 — Why’d You Send Me? (Israelites Afflicted & Un-delivered)

Exo_6:12 — Uncircumcised Lips!/·Without Words ^LXX (& they haven't listened) [LXX: ἐγὼ δὲ ἄλογός εἰμι]

Exo_6:30 — Uncircumcised Lips!/·Dry-Voice-ed ^LXX (repeated) [LXX: Ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἰσχνόφωνός εἰμι]

Num_11:11 — Burden Too Heavy!

Num_11:14 — Cannot Bear Alone

Num_11:15 — Kill Me Instead!

[Num_20:12 — Failure bars entry]

Because Moses carried such respect for inspired leadership, he feared God with immense weightiness and shy to even be a leader

Impossible Adventure

Denying Identity = Reversing Reality

Blasphemous False Accusations -- Reversals of Reality

· Moral Inversion of Identity: Accusing Moses of leadership pride, and of cherishing hidden ambition toward exclusive say-so is the exact opposite of God's providential trial and character formation to define who Moses really is…

· Inspiration-Dependent Servant: Moses was a completely dependent bond slave in therapy worker for total dependence on God's supernatural help to do anything successful.

· Divine Formation into Weakness: After God has intentionally formed this in Moses to where Moses has no desire left to do any work in the flesh, especially leadership and even prophecy, then Moses is exactly who God wants him to be, therefore the flesh is guilty of…

· Blasphemous Reversal of Obedient Humility: it is the most treacherous moral inversion blasphemy to suggest that Moses is not who God has so decisively made him and shown him to be.

The Point: The flesh is no longer allowed to abuse and accuse obeyers of not having Broken-Humility-Truth worked in them, when it is so clearly lived through their obedient, God-disciplined lives.

Brokenness = Preparation

Reverence Breaks Hasty Ambition

When your reverence convinces you about how weighty and fearful it is to be a leader and God completely breaks you of all earthly ambition then maybe He's ready to use you and more exalted ways.

Blaspheming Moses is moral inversion!

See: SRP > Moral Inversion

Sin-Repentance-Perfection.htm#MoralInversion

De-escalate into Salvation

· Escalation = Faulty: Escalators are always the ones wrong in unnecessary conflicts.

· Escalation = Fleshly: It is the irrational proactiveness of the non-perceptive flesh that escalates wasted emotions on being wrong -- this is perversely bold, and outrageously sinful!

· Escalation = Broken Perception: Escalating the guesswork from demonically inspired emotions of darkness and error is a recipe for non-Perception, as obeyers have witnessed many times.

· Escalation = Emotional Error: If you're emotional and passionate and hurt and escalating benign or innocent words, you can be sure you're the one that's wrong in a conflict.

· Repent of Hallucinations: Stop hearing hurt, fantasizing pride, guessing motives, assigning liability (“you know this or that!”), and forgetting logical rules!

· Call to Change: Have you had enough sub-divinity, wasted emotions, and conflict to take this shame to heart to learn, change, repent, and correct your integrity to move forward into a new era of Truth?

· A Silent Prophet: In Numbers 12 we don't even have one recorded aggressive word from Moses.

· Go Home: in Jer_28 Jeremiah simply “went home” after the pervert-false-prophet kept boldly blaspheming Truth

· Quiet De-escalation Saves: Moses's quietness and distance de-escalates toward salvation -- so IMITATE his wisdom into Jesus’ salvation!

Wasted Escalation with Sinners

· Wasted Focus: Unnecessary escalation happens because the flesh is focused on the temporary experience of this world, this life, and this age...

· Empty Arguments: Notice that after vain and useless escalations you have nothing morally good and excellent and praiseworthy of virtue to speak for all the emotions and energy and wasted life poured into empty needless useless conflicts and competitions.

· Withdraw from Irrationality: Remember, when rationality is not available there's no reason to compete or fight for anything, because brainlessness is not God's goal or prize!

· Escape Corrupt Talk: When thinking becomes so warped it's beyond the scope of logic it's time to cancel and pull out of all profaned dialogue.

· (Greek Duality: Greek has a double meaning with “dialogue”, which is flipped and flopped throughout the Bible -- for good ‘discussion’ or bad ‘arguments’).

The Point: If you participate in an unclean escalation you risk sharing in the irrationality that started it.

De-escalate Cheap Accusations Against Obeyers

· Defeat Wrath/Outrage: As soon as you stop hearing hurt from righteous people, all of your flustered offenses disappear, so…

· Stop Vain Imaginations: Stop using your imagination to create more trouble than is needed.

· Right Thinking Stops Wasted Dialogs: Back and forth trouble is unnecessary when you are simply thinking right to begin with.

Beg to De-escalate!

· Plead For Correction: If you’ve been wrong and can get right, then beg for help!

· Condemnable Independence: It's not a condemning criticism before God to be off or wrong, however it is totally condemnable to be content with self-sustained independence and not beg for discipleship to get out of your own embarrassing failures and hell-bent preoccupations.

· Self-Quarantining Desolation Recognition: Are you really self-quarantining and self-censoring as you ought to, from responsible awareness of your own defilement and deficiency? If so…

· Laziness Questioned: Is there a reason that you're not begging for inspired discipleship and counsel to escape destruction? Or rather…

· Contentment Questioned: Is there a GOOD reason that you're not begging? (Which doesn't include foolish independence and worldly pride?)

The Point: (A) Stop mindless, foolish, & blasphemous accusations, and instead, (B) Recognize your own faults, (C) beg for help, and (D) tear down your vain useless erroneous fleshly wrong escalations.

Gal_2:18 – If I build again what I tore down (make myself a transgressor)

Gal_2:17 CAB But if by seeking to be justified in Christ, we ourselves also were found sinners, then is Christ a minister of sin? Certainly not!

Gal_2:17 εἰ δὲ ζητοῦντες δικαιωθῆναι ἐν Χριστῷ εὑρέθημεν καὶ αὐτοὶ ἁμαρτωλοί, ἆρα Χριστὸς ἁμαρτίας διάκονος; μὴ γένοιτο.

Gal_2:17 ει δε ζητουντες δικαιωθηναι εν χριστω ευρεθημεν και αυτοι αμαρτωλοι αρα χριστος αμαρτιας διακονος μη γενοιτο

Gal_2:18 For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor.

Gal_2:18 εἰ γὰρ ἃ κατέλυσα ταῦτα πάλιν οἰκοδομῶ, παραβάτην ἐμαυτὸν συνίστημι.

Gal_2:18 ει γαρ α κατελυσα ταυτα παλιν οικοδομω παραβατην εμαυτον Aσυνιστανω TSBσυνιστημι

Take Blasphemy to Heart!

· Crime: Blaspheming Moses is moral inversion!

· It's Still Wrong Today: Blaspheming all obedient inspired people is moral inversion!

Cult Phobia/Paranoia = Hypocritical

>>Collaborative TAGS:

· Question the Question: If indeed God ‘only spoke through Moses’, what with the issue then be?

· Inverted Implication: But rather instead, this question has morally reversed implications and suggestions within it…

· False Restriction: the morally inverted question (of Moses’ supposedly exclusive claims to prophecy) implies as if that concern was a real event or characteristic behavior, suggested through Moses’ behavior, to restrict God speaking through others, and stopping others from having authority to say what is right and wrong.

· Cult Accusation: We have the same wrong standards today by calling strong leadership a cult

· Misplaced Inspiration = Real Cult: The reality is, whenever we ascribe truth to sub-divinity, then in reality we're treating it like inspiration, which is misplacing zeal, faith, and strong assertions in the wrong place without integrity or authorization, and this hazardous confidence is much more characteristic of a cult than some of the groups that get criticized as it.

Reminder: Obeyers want “sons and daughters to prophesy” (Joe_2; Act_2) and “all God’s people to be prophets” (Num_11) which has nothing to do with a exclusive, strong leadership one-man cult like individualism flatters today.

Num_11:25 LB And the Lord came down in a cloud, and spoke to him, and took of the spirit that was upon him, and put it upon the seventy men that were elders; and when the spirit rested upon them, they prophesied and ceased.

Num_11:25 καὶ κατέβη κύριος ἐν νεφέλῃ καὶ ἐλάλησεν πρὸς αὐτόν· καὶ παρείλατο ἀπὸ τοῦ πνεύματος τοῦ ἐπ᾿ αὐτῷ καὶ ἐπέθηκεν ἐπὶ τοὺς ἑβδομήκοντα ἄνδρας τοὺς πρεσβυτέρους· ὡς δὲ ἐπανεπαύσατο τὸ πνεῦμα ἐπ᾿ αὐτούς, καὶ ἐπροφήτευσαν καὶ οὐκέτι προσέθεντο.

Num_11:26 WEB But two men remained in the camp. The name of one was Eldad, and the name of the other Medad: and the Spirit rested on them; and they were of those who were written, but had not gone out to the Tent; and they prophesied in the camp.

Num_11:26 And there were two men left in the camp, the name of the one was Eldad, and the name of the other Medad; and the spirit rested upon them, and these were of the number of them that were enrolled, but they did not come to the tabernacle; and they prophesied in the camp.

Num_11:27 And a young man ran and told Moses, and spoke, saying, “Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp!”

Num_11:27 καὶ προσδραμὼν ὁ νεανίσκος ἀπήγγειλεν Μωυσῇ καὶ εἶπεν λέγων Ελδαδ καὶ Μωδαδ προφητεύουσιν ἐν τῇ παρεμβολῇ.

Disgusting Treachery!

The treacherous flesh is partnered with Satan to judge & cross examine the Word of God, as if nasty, old, sub-divine, imperfect flesh can judge the clean perfect Truth, and get away with exaggerating & mischaracterizing Truth’s condemnation of the flesh, as if Truth were being unfair!

No Fruit/Trees (Gen_3:1)? Nothing could be further from the Truth! (Gen_2:16-17; Gen_3:2)

Only Moses prophesies (Num_12:2)? That's the exact opposite of who Moses is (Num_11:29)!

Projecting

· Stop projecting your sin onto others: Pride

· Unchecked Hurt & Pride and illogical thinking & behavior lead to heresy and projecting your personal problems on others

The Despised & Precious Price of Prophecy is why the flesh despises and assumes Obeyers are claiming to be “the only ones”:

An obeyer cannot pretend that subdivine, uninspired flesh is True because it was by courageously and obediently dying to these very things that obeyers got inspired with obedience in the first place to begin with!

Prophecy Rules

· Credibility Without Cost: The flesh wants the credibility of authority without the responsibility of self-denying sacrifice.

· Reputation vs Integrity: If you want to have the reputation of Truth, you need to instead bear the burden of prophecy -- to get integrity worthy of God’s delightful exaltation.

· Reckless Vainglory: Flesh wants praise without price: self-flattery boasting & Celebrity without celibacy

· Crucifixion Before Flattery: If you're going to imagine that you are good and true, you need to instead get responsible enough to bear the integrity to say the Truth that no one wants to hear, which first even contradicts your own flesh!

· Approve Morality: Moses Wants Others to Agree with God!

· Prophet = Agreeing With God: ‘Wishing all were prophets’ (Num_11:29) includes all should agree with God against the evil sinful flesh
See: SRP > Stiff-Necked People

· Burdened Truth: Moses doesn't want to be the only one declaring the authoritative Truth against the flesh, while no one appreciates the hard Truth he is saying, and nearly everyone is rebelling against him!

Repent into Inspired Integrity

· Anti-Flesh = Truth: Harsh Flesh Confrontation-Contradiction is reality! -- Bow down before Truth!

· Stop False Accusations: We should stop accusing God & Obeyers of wanting to be the only ones who are right!

· Stop Complaining: We must start agreeing with God and stop complaining when He’s the only one right and everyone else is wrong because they hate God and won’t agree with Him

God True!

Rom_3:4 CAB Certainly not! Indeed, let God be true but every man a liar, just as it is written: "That You may be justified in Your words, and You may overcome when You are judged."

Rom_3:4 μὴ γένοιτο· γινέσθω δὲ ὁ Θεὸς ἀληθής, πᾶς δὲ ἄνθρωπος ψεύστης, καθὼς γέγραπται· ὅπως ἂν δικαιωθῇς ἐν τοῖς λόγοις σου καὶ νικήσεις ἐν τῷ κρίνεσθαί σε.

Rom_3:4 μη γενοιτο γινεσθω δε ο θεος αληθης πας δε ανθρωπος ψευστης καθως γεγραπται οπως αν δικαιωθης εν τοις λογοις σου και Aνικησεις TSBνικησης εν τω κρινεσθαι σε

Who’s Right/Inspired

3/1/26

Relationship Conflicts

· Like it or not, this passage is about large-scale relationship conflicts, and determining who's true and right, and who's not...

· Prioritizing Proof of Truth is the solution to relationship conflicts

Proof Needed!

· We need to know Who’s Right/Inspired!

· Avoid the harshest judgment!

>>>>

No Proof in Church Today

· Church people are not focused on proof because they are not vitally focused on absolutely having to OBEDIENTLY apply inspiration rules right here and right now to the life and Truth right in front of them!

· Remarkably, Most people don't want to ever talk about the aspect of proof of Truth in order to avoid severe and decisive punishment in passages like this.

No Answer in Church Today

Virtually no one has an answer to proving who's right and inspired, because when they come to Numbers 12 they don't even bring that up as a relevant point from this passage, even though that's at the very heart core of everything that is going on in Num_12, and is being taught to us by God's Truth from these inspired Scriptures.

Proof of Truth Desperately Needed!

Virtually Nobody seriously seeks Truth today, and therefore they neglect proof, nor do they even have faith in any solution to prove who's True and avoid being punished worse than Miriam. – therefore it is clear and observable that we need the real good message to finally be proclaimed, because virtually no one has divinely inspired hope to be saved from being wrong.

3/15/26

When you’re done sinning, the inspiration is the only standard/reason to be zealous and assertive of anything being right or wrong.

Relationship Conflicts: Who's Right ????

Who's Right in Relationship Conflicts?

3/13/26; 3/21/26

Virtue!

Follow The Virtue!

(When the world says, "follow the money trail")

Virtue/Obedience/Morality = Rule -- Guaranteed to Always Work

Obedience!

Bible obedience always clearly marks who's right.

If indeed your heart has the integrity to perceive and worship the favor of Bible obedience when it's right in front of your face.

Divinity Flows Out of God

· Emanating: Everything preceding out of God, is God, which is why Jesus is God.

· Worship Divine Inspiration: Therefore whatever Truth comes through a person is to be worshiped, because it's divinity

· Indiscriminant Truth Love: Even if they were an atheist, truth still comes from God's cleanness, and yet how much more through a a righteous person who is inspired with Bible obedience?

Saved in Conflict

So how can you consistently guarantee the virtue of Bible obedience when you're in relationship conflicts?

Objection (of fleshly ignorance):

To maintain perfect integrity in an argument you would have to say just about nothing!

Answer (from the knowledge of obedience):

Exactly!

Inspired Silence

Moses said nothing until it was time for the much-needed love of intercession to remove the sins of those who accidentally blasphemed him

Moses’ Virtue Proves Inspiration/Right-ness

3/7/26-3/8/26

Virtue

Virtue within and or that immediately follows frictions challenges conflicts arguments always marks and proves who is right and potentially inspired (so step back!)

Moses Falls on His Face

Moses repeatedly fell on His face…

>>Scrip: ES

Num_14:5 NKJV Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the children of Israel.

Num_16:4 NKJV So when Moses heard it, he fell on his face;

>> ROW \/\/

Trust Truth for Proof

>>Collaborative TAGS:

· God-Proven Truth: Notice how Moses does not have to prove his point because he trusts God.

· Believe the Truth Vindicates: If you got an argument to make, it's high time you trust God to prove it for you, like Moses did!

· Hands-Off Vindication: If I'm right, let God prove me right without my own hand escalating frictions unnecessarily, and wasting time and vitality on useless vanities without faith.

· Taboo of Reverent Safety: if I'm wrong, I should be so gripped with embarrassment I dare not open up my mouth and try to prove my point!

The Point: Loving Truth lets you trust God to vindicate your righteous cause and prove reality, so that you never have to agree with irrational debates and wars, because (1) God doesn’t want you to fight them, and (2) only through faith can they be saved (and you're only supposed to be speaking words to build people up toward redemption and reconciliation with God to result in salvation), and (3) an obeyer can't stand to prove any other point on their own (which is atheism and independence from God).

Passive Aggression = Mythical Accusations

· Humble Contrast: Since humble people are not escalating useless vanity in relationship conflicts, therefore, they’re supposed faults are flase…

· False Charge: Passive Aggression, and supposed “pride” is one of the proud flesh’s favorite false accusations to make against gentle people.

· Virtue Misread: Stop imagining passive aggression where virtue is there.

· Be The Peace: if virtue is not there, then create it by de-escalating conflict and having enough integrity and virtue to withdraw your aggression from an inappropriate situation, like Moses, Jeremiah, Jesus Himself, and many others did throughout the Bible.

· Projection Accusation: the sinning Non-virtue of the flesh outsources its own problems as accusations against peaceful people, and hypocritically accuses virtuous people of outsourcing their problems when they've done nothing wrong or even aggressive.

· Accusation Hypocrisy: Non perception accuses others of the very crimes that a blind person is committing.

The Point: Hypocritical accusations make the need to “follow the virtue” of objective Bible-obedience, morality, and Truth all the more vital and indispensable.

Flesh Excludes Moses

· False Exclusion: Moses is not excluding them!

· Spotlight Inversion: Miriam and Aaron are being tempted with feeling like Moses thinks he’s the only one God can speak by, when they themselves are actually the ones putting themselves forward into the spotlight to the exclusion of quiet Moses.

· Blame Reversal: Their flesh is tempted with blaspheming Moses of the very thing that they are mistakenly committing.

Stop the hypocrisy of moral inversion!

Defeat Hypocrisy!

· Accusation Loop: Stop accusing others of accusing you of what you are accusing them of doing.

· Complexity Requires Proof: Can you tell that the cheap talk of “he said, she said” gets complicated & confusing?

· Proof Defeats Cheap Blasphemy: Cheap Accusations are exactly why we need objective proof!

· Follow Virtue: Follow the virtue/morality/Bible-Obedience -- that’s exactly where Truth is Always at, GUARANTEED!

· Ask to Locate: Where is Bible obedience/virtue/morality happening?

· Proven Virtue = Conflict Solution: Following the moral virtue of Bible-obedience is the only way you can prove who’s right and solve relationship conflicts and confusions.

The Point: If talk is cheap (as even the world says & recognizes it is) then stop cheapening your character by making easy accusations without the hard work of integrity to prove what is True!

Have the faith and courage to believe that the morality of Bible obedience is so objective that it can clearly prove Truth and hold everyone's relationships horizontally accountable to the reality of Bible obedience in front of God's holy eyes. There is no room for hypocrisy with such bold courageous persuasion in the morality of clean Truth.

Logic Saves

· Logical Rescue: When emotions are high, confusion is running rampant, and disorder and chaos are prevailing, you desperately need to remember logic to save you and everyone else involved out of the irrational downward spiral of illogical insanity.

· Logical Faith: Remember, Don’t say JC is going to save you if you don’t have faith in Logic, who is the real Jesus in the Bible (everything else is sinful and dirty superstition).

· Logic = Last Chance: Remembering Logic can be your last chance to be saved when you're fumbling in error!

· Return to Words: If you want what Truth Moses has, then believe him enough to refer back to the last relevant thing he said before you sinned against his reputation. -- This is a logical repentance to quickly back you out of error and rescue you when you gone crazy and fouled up so much that your soul is in grave danger.

· Withdrawn Speech = Holy-Separation from Despising: Moses has withdrawn his speech from your despising because you devalued his previous words with imaginations and assumptions -- now we’ll see if you can ever get Truth (back) without being destroyed in the process…

· Favor-Loss WARNING: Moses’ withdrawn speech = God’s withdrawn favor on your life!

· Holy Silence Still Applies Today!: (Moses’ withdrawal can happen when anyone’s flesh sins against anyone else who is inspired with wisdom and Bible obedience)

· Get Logical Salvation: Remember moral rules; Fix your equations, let logic rescue you; then come back and praise humbled Bible-obeyers for being inspired.

Pre-exaltation Inspiration Applies to Us!

3/10/26; 3/15/26

One of the biggest reasons that Moses's pre-exalted inspiration is so important, before he was ever a leader, is because his early initial inspired status directly and immediately applies to us today and demands obedience and persuasion and faith into Moses's inspired character in The Bible, and everyone who walks in his steps (Rom_4:12) just like obeyers do into this day.

>>Scrip: ES

Rom_4:12 – Those who walk in the tracks of Abraham

This shows us that…

Rejecting Obeyers today is the same as rejecting Moses, while he was inspired, but before he was exalted

And is the same as persecuting Jesus, Steven, and all other inspired people in the Bible who were later exalted.

Mosaic Special Inspiration (Reminders)

Moses = God’s Therapy

Moses was God’s (Comforting) Therapy Servant (Greek), who always grieved with God and made Him turn from wrath against the sinning Israelites.

Moses ≈ God?

ES: Moses and Aaron Before Pharaoh

Exo_7:1 WEB Yahweh said to Moses, "Behold, I have made you as God to Pharaoh; and Aaron your brother shall be your prophet.

Exo_7:1 LB And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, “Behold, I have made you a god to Pharaoh, and Aaron your brother shall be your prophet.

Exo_7:1 καὶ εἶπεν κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν λέγων Ἰδοὺ δέδωκά σε θεὸν Φαραω, καὶ Ααρων ὁ ἀδελφός σου ἔσται σου προφήτης·

Exo_7 ≈ Num_12

· These two passages are very consistent.

· Before God struck Miriam with leprosy he made Moses like God to Pharaoh

But then there’s…

Objections from Church!

· Denying Identity: Church people are bothered by Moses being like God, while God Himself (in the actual Bible) is not worried at all by it, because actually, this representation in fact is exactly and precisely what everyone needs to show Who the real God really IS, IN MOSES, in direct contrast to the flesh of Pharaoh's rebellious hardened heart.

· Scandal vs. Relief: Church is so anxious that they’re frantic to deny and erase God on earth (they’re scandal-ed: 1Co_1:23; Gal_5:11; by un-persuasion: ), but God Himself is finally relieved when the Truth of His identity is proclaimed.

· Solos of Disobedience: “God alone in heaven” is church’s excuse to ignore and disobey Truth right in front of their face.

· Believe Inspiration: God on earth is exactly the Truth of obedience He demands for you to have in reverence to His real identity

We can’t ever talk about the “Doctrine of US” because hypocrisy is so busy denying the very idea of God on Earth -- and we need to get zealous and repent!

BTW:

Scandal = Needed! <<<<

The Scandal Must be Preserved!

Stop Being Scandal-ed by Clean Obedience-Truth!

1Co_1:22 CAB For Jews request a sign, and Greeks seek after wisdom;

1Co_1:22 ἐπειδὴ καὶ ᾿Ιουδαῖοι σημεῖον αἰτοῦσι καὶ ῞Ελληνες σοφίαν ζητοῦσιν,

1Co_1:22 επειδη και ιουδαιοι Aσημεια TSBσημειον αιτουσιν και ελληνες σοφιαν ζητουσιν

1Co_1:23 but we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling block [σκάνδαλον], and to the Greeks [Aεθνεσιν TSBελλησιν] foolishness [μωρίαν],

1Co_1:23 ἡμεῖς δὲ κηρύσσομεν Χριστὸν ἐσταυρωμένον, ᾿Ιουδαίοις μὲν σκάνδαλον, ῞Ελλησι δὲ μωρίαν,

Gal_5:11 CAB And I, brothers, if I still preach circumcision, why am I still persecuted? In that case the offense of the cross [τὸ σκάνδαλον τοῦ σταυροῦ] has been done away with [κατήργηται].

Gal_5:11 ἐγὼ δέ, ἀδελφοί, εἰ περιτομὴν ἔτι κηρύσσω, τί ἔτι διώκομαι; ἄρα κατήργηται τὸ σκάνδαλον τοῦ σταυροῦ.

√ GNT-V

BTW: Dismantling Cross-Scandal = i.e. the exact opposite of dying to the flesh:

Rom_6:6 knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, so that the body of sin may be done away with [καταργηθῇ], that we should no longer serve sin.

Rom_6:6 τοῦτο γινώσκοντες, ὅτι ὁ παλαιὸς ἡμῶν ἄνθρωπος συνεσταυρώθη ἵνα καταργηθῇ τὸ σῶμα τῆς ἁμαρτίας, τοῦ μηκέτι δουλεύειν ἡμᾶς τῇ ἁμαρτίᾳ·

√ GNT-V

>>Scrip: ES

Gal_6:12 NKJV As many as desire to make a good showing in the flesh, these would compel you to be circumcised, only that they may not suffer persecution for the cross of Christ.

1Pe_2:7 CAB Therefore, to you who believe, He is precious; but to those who are disobedient, "The stone which the builders rejected Has become the chief cornerstone,"

1Pe_2:7 ὑμῖν οὖν ἡ τιμὴ τοῖς πιστεύουσιν, ἀπιστοῦσιν δὲ λίθον ὃν ἀπεδοκίμασαν οἱ οἰκοδομοῦντες, οὗτος ἐγενήθη εἰς κεφαλὴν γωνίας

1Pe_2:9 But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God's own possession, that you may proclaim the excellent virtues of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;

1Pe_2:9 ὑμεῖς δὲ γένος ἐκλεκτόν, βασίλειον ἱεράτευμα, ἔθνος ἅγιον, λαὸς εἰς περιποίησιν, ὅπως τὰς ἀρετὰς ἐξαγγείλητε τοῦ ἐκ σκότους ὑμᾶς καλέσαντος εἰς τὸ θαυμαστὸν αὐτοῦ φῶς·

God Longs for Inspired Moses Days

While Church Tries it’s Hardest to Prohibit Them

Isa_63:10 WEB But they rebelled, and grieved his holy Spirit: therefore he was turned to be their enemy, and himself fought against them.

Isa_63:10 LB But they disobeyed, and provoked His Holy Spirit; so He turned to be an enemy, He Himself contended against them.

Isa_63:10 αὐτοὶ δὲ ἠπείθησαν καὶ παρώξυναν τὸ πνεῦμα τὸ ἅγιον αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἐστράφη αὐτοῖς εἰς ἔχθραν, καὶ αὐτὸς ἐπολέμησεν αὐτούς.

Isa_63:11 WEB Then he remembered the days of old, Moses and his people, saying, Where is he who brought them up out of the sea with the shepherds of his flock? where is he who put his holy Spirit in the midst of them?

Isa_63:11 Then he remembered the days of old, saying, “Where is He that brought up from the sea the shepherd of the sheep? Where is He that put His Holy Spirit in them?

Isa_63:11 καὶ ἐμνήσθη ἡμερῶν αἰωνίων ὁ ἀναβιβάσας ἐκ τῆς γῆς τὸν ποιμένα τῶν προβάτων· ποῦ ἐστιν ὁ θεὶς ἐν αὐτοῖς τὸ πνεῦμα τὸ ἅγιον;

Isa_63:12 WEB who caused his glorious arm to go at the right hand of Moses? who divided the waters before them, to make himself an everlasting name?

Isa_63:12 Who led Moses with His right hand, the arm of His glory? He forced the water to separate from before him, to make Himself an everlasting name.

Isa_63:12 ὁ ἀγαγὼν τῇ δεξιᾷ Μωυσῆν, ὁ βραχίων τῆς δόξης αὐτοῦ; κατίσχυσεν ὕδωρ ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτοῦ ποιῆσαι αὐτῷ ὄνομα αἰώνιον.

Isa_63:13 WEB who led them through the depths, as a horse in the wilderness, so that they didn't stumble?

Isa_63:13 He led them through the deep, as a horse through the wilderness, and they did not faint.”

Isa_63:13 ἤγαγεν αὐτοὺς διὰ τῆς ἀβύσσου ὡς ἵππον δι᾿ ἐρήμου, καὶ οὐκ ἐκοπίασαν.

Isa_63:14 WEB As the livestock that go down into the valley, the Spirit of Yahweh caused them to rest; so did you lead your people, to make yourself a glorious name.

Isa_63:14 And as cattle through a plain; the Spirit came down from the Lord, and guided them; thus You led Your people, to make Yourself a glorious name [ὄνομα δόξης].

Isa_63:14 καὶ ὡς κτήνη διὰ πεδίου, κατέβη πνεῦμα παρὰ κυρίου καὶ ὡδήγησεν αὐτούς· οὕτως ἤγαγες τὸν λαόν σου ποιῆσαι σεαυτῷ ὄνομα δόξης.

Holy Name/Reputation/IDENTITY!

Think: (A) Lord’s Prayer for Holy Name (Mat_6:9); (B) Father’s Glorified Response (Joh_12:27-28); (C) End-Times Redemption of God’s Holy-Glorified Name (Ezekiel → Rev_11)

The Point: Moses glorified God’s real identity, when being inspired as God on Earth

Inspiration’s Real Question

· Atheism: the real question is not “If God”, but rather “how smart is He?”

· Church: the real question is not “If Inspiration”, but rather “WHO is inspired?” -- so stop assuming it is not there to begin with as a Christian atheist!

· Assumptions = Rule Breaking: You’re not allowed to assume non-inspiration in monotheism

· Shared Hypocrisy: Avoiding the real question and prematurely pretending like Inspiration does not exist is the same hypocrisy of church people and atheism -- God is no respecter of persons; you’re the same atheistic sinner if you deny scientifically observable reality

· Identify: When your desolate enough you have no problem embracing inspired obeyers because you’re begging for them faster than they can even manage to give out Truth!

· So... be consistent with the Bible! -- that destroys hypocrisy (Mat_23:

· Moses & Miriam’s example apply to us today in much the exact same way

Admit Inspiration

WHO = Inspired???

· So, who is God on earth?

· Is it just “super apostles”?

· See: LOB > The Doctrine Of US

For now, already we see…

Love Admits People Represent God to You

· Admit Factuality: Divine Representation examples (like in Exo_7:1) show us that the principles exist of inspired people representing God on earth.

· Obey Inspiration: Most church people are assuming non-inspiration and are therefore living in total rebellious disobedience to the principles and rules that these stories and examples teach us.

· Love = Faith: Believing what God says about people = Real Love for them

· Dual Punishment: Separation from Obeyers = Separation from God -- when our flesh is being Unholy!

--------------- Side Notes

Lepers -- Guilty or Not Guilty?

· In Miriam's case, she had done something wrong.

· In other cases, people may have become leprous without doing anything wrong.

· Jesus said that a certain man was born blind without having done any particular sin to “deserve it” – in Joh_9:2.

· In both cases, with both guilty and not guilty scenarios, lepers experienced trials of separation that should draw out their faithfulness toward the God of Truth.

A Week Can Feel Like Forever

· Why Even Mention a Short Week?

· Trials Feel Like Forever: Although we could say that a week is not that long, and we could question if we should even bring up this shorter example of separation, yet when we go through even a small trial it often feels like forever.

· Wife Example: I have had long separations from my wife being sick. Even though some of these cases were less than a week, they were a long time for me.

ALL Foreshadows Doctrine of Us

· Even though we can't go over the doctrine of us

· Yet nonetheless already

· We see exactly who the right type of people are in the word ALL

· Those who obey ALL are inspired in a similar way to the company of Moses, especially when compared with the rebellion of Korra to chapters later which embodies Church apostasy as confronted by Jude

Obeying ALL is the simple easy morally clear and obvious faithful Truth that orients us directly toward the Good Message, and yet despite its simplicity and explicit emphasis all throughout the Bible, ALL is the word which has been removed by modern apostasy rebellions.

Sins of Apostasy

· Lie: Apostasy denial is intellectually dishonest

· Disobedient: And morally disobedient

· Unbiblical: rebellious against the Bible

Denial by Exaggerating Difficulty

Pretending like…

· we don't objectively know what ALL is, or that

· there's any ambiguity, or that

· scientifically identifying it is Out of reach,

…disobeys Deuteronomy 30 which says that the Word of obedient faith is close and near to you

"ALL" is the difference between heaven and hell.

Every church rebellion, apostasy, and failure will be justly condemned forever for removing this essential prerequisite word.

ALL Reminders

2/22/26…3/1/26

ALL Overcomes Hesitation

3/1/26

God is so holy & True that…

Initially: a prophet might struggle with what God is saying and revealing to them, like Johnna did -- today: God is favoring non-christians more than church, for example!

Johnna is infinitely better than church people have ever really conceived

But after fighting to accept God’s revelations…

Attitude of totally cooperating with everything God says!

That’s Moses special approval by God!

ALL Makes All the Difference

2/22/26

Faithful in ALL God's house - what does God have in mind exactly/precisely?

If this doesn't Pierce you with obsession, your mind is not working...

You risk being dead...

So you urgently need to know what this means!

You will get closer or you will lose God's special friendship and presence based on your orientation toward Moses's ALL

All Includes Hard-Core!

2/22/26

When hard things are included in all, then you can finally be hardcore like you need with the Truth to be saved

Unique to Moses: agreeing with God's side of the argument against flesh.

All includes the hard sayings of God

Taking everything God says literally, seriously

Moses's Specialness = Desolation Acknowledgement <<<<<<<< titles

2/22/26-2/24/26

Desolation Agreement = Moses's Specialness

At some point you've got to grow up spiritually and embrace what God's Spirit is actually saying when he writes the Bible.

(And courageously resist and defeat all of the remapped heresies against nearly every Bible verse)

If God's spirit is saying Moses is God's special friend through agreeing with God on everything including the hard Truth of depravity and desolation - the real state of how ugly and condemned and evil the wicked flesh is...

Then...

He's got to learn some numbers 12, and seriously truthfully qualitatively believe in Moses's inspiration enough

To obediently apply it today to churches' desolation going on right now, which is also judged and rejected by the exact same Spirit who wrote Numbers 12

If you actually believe what God is saying when he writes numbers 12 against the desolation of the flesh to praise the truthful inspiration of Moses who finally agrees with God, then you prove that you believe in what God is saying through Numbers 12 by finally agreeing with God's Spirit Who is condemning the exact same rebellion spirits going on right now in virtually all modern churches

What pastor today doesn't persecute Bible obey ers and forbid them from preaching in their synagogues?

Agreeing with God's Spirit that Moses is special for agreeing with God's wrathful fury against the sinfulness of Flesh means you also yourself being pierced with eager obsession to be special before God just like Moses, and agreeing with God's holy unquatchable Wrath and furious anger against Church apostasy right here, right now today

>>Scrip: ES

Rom_2:13 – It is not the hearers of the word that are justified, but the doers

Rom_

Jam_

Luk_

So also you don't get to sit back in a chair and eat popcorn and watch the Bible for entertainment and expect to be rewarded as one of God's favorite heroes

It's high time we all honestly embrace exactly what God's spirit is actually saying who wrote numbers 12 and is saying the exact same starch condemnation today, and it's high time we actually put obedience to our Bible reading to finally appease God's Wrath and our agreement with Jesus's Truth against Church apostasy in Revelation

Therapy = Love!

Close friendship!

>>Scrip: ES

1Ki_1:4 – And she cherished the king

1Ki_

Son_

2Ki_3:11 – isn't this Elisha who poured water on the hands of Elijah

…

Moses was extraordinary and strikingly special because he uniquely agreed with God against the desolation of the flesh

Desolation awareness and Proclamation to others (you are a stiff necked people) starts with despising your own flesh:

>>Scrip: ES

Num_12:3 – The man Moses was more meek than anyone

Num_

Mat_

Notice Moses is not recorded as even saying anything notable until he is pleading for Mercy for his sister!

Example:

I've lived Just about my entire spiritual life self-censoring...

All includes Flesh-Desolation

2/22/26; 3/1/26; 3/7/26

You Are A Stiff Neck People!

See: ISR > Stiff-Necked People

Love-Israel.htm#StiffNecked

Desolation vs Inspiration

Once you finally factor in how desolate your flesh is it is so easy and simple and even exciting and joyful to jump up and identify and declare righteousness to God's inspiration on Earth

Spirit Test: is it easy to see or is it hard to accept that Moses' praised faithfulness particularly and especially includes his unique cooperation to embrace humanities desolation?

I'm saying that it does for two very good and Biblical reasons:

(1) That is what God's Spirit is saying who wrote Numbers 12. - do you believe me?

(2) The Bible confirms this emphasis by being motivated by these themes when memorializing Moses

Even if we can hopefully accept that's what God is saying when he's writing Numbers 12, we still need to test the spirits to see if that really is God who is saying that.

If indeed it is, we need to zealously and profoundly embrace it like never before!

Test whether your prayer life feels the closest with God by embracing desolation of The flesh like Moses did.

I can point out the truth that God considered Moses special to him as the only one who would agree with him completely without exception especially against contradicting the wicked idolatrous fornicating commandment breaking flesh at the bottom of the burning mountain.

I can point that out, but then the real question is is that easy for you to accept as Truth?

Are you listening to the right spirit and is it morally unavoidable to you that what I'm saying is true, that Moses is uniqueness is his profound agreement with God's condemnation of uninspired flesh?

If you have any question as to the accuracy and appropriateness and truthfulness of what I'm saying then you need to test the spirits that you're being motivated by and see if God is thinking this way when he talks about this scenario... As in Hebrews 3...

Remember that both Moses and Jesus were pessimistic about the flesh

Moses crawled up the mountain of fire and lightning and warned with God's passionate anger against sin

This continues into the end times when Moses shows up again to confront both secular and religious society...

We can very powerfully test the spirits that we are being influenced by When comparing numbers 12 and Hebrews 3.

Is Moses's testimony unique because he embraced the hard truth of the desolation of human flesh?

If we been motivated by the same God who inspired/Possessed Moses?

Moses uniquely agrees with God and no one can comfort for therapy God's fury and anger like Moses does because they share an intimate Unity: clean Truth versus the demonic flesh

It can then become no wonder why God was so furious for words spoken against Moses...

Heb_3: Numbers 12 Leads to Numbers 14 & 16

3/7/26; 3/15/26; 3/19/26; 3/21/26

Hebrews 3: Desolation vs ALL

2/22/26; 3/7/26

There's two very big all words in Hebrews 3 in a profoundly sharp contrast and competition to each other

Not known my ways >> Exo 33!

Heb_3:14 > heb_11

Heb_12:25 NKJV See that you do not refuse Him who speaks. For if they did not escape who refused Him who spoke on earth, much more shall we not escape if we turn away from Him who speaks from heaven.

This is the same as the warning that the New Covenant is stricter:

Heb_2:2-3; Heb_10:28-30

Wilderness generation → Psalmist’s generation → Hebrews readers → present readers.

Numbers 12 ↔ Numbers 14

Numbers 12 Mistake is linked with Numbers 14 Rebellion

Heb_3:1 — consider Jesus; apostle pattern (Num_12:7; Deu_18:15)

Heb_3:2 — faithful like Moses (Num_12:7)

Heb_3:3 — builder greater than house (Zec_6:12–13 concept)

Heb_3:4 — God builder of all (Gen_1:1; Isa_44:24)

Heb_3:5 — Moses faithful therapy-servant (Num_12:7)

Heb_3:6 — Anointed One over God’s house (2Sa_7:13–14 type)

Heb_3:7 — Spirit introduces Psalm quote (Psa_95:7)

Heb_3:8 — Hardening Warning (Psa_95:8; Exo_17:7; Num_14:22)

Heb_3:9 — Fathers tested God (Psa_95:9; Num_14:22–23)

Heb_3:10 — Generation grieved God (Psa_95:10; Num_14:11)

Heb_3:11 — Oath denying rest (Psa_95:11; Num_14:23)

Heb_3:12 — Warning against unbelief (Num_14:11)

Heb_3:13 — Daily exhortation against hardening (Psa_95:8 theme)

Heb_3:14 — Hold firm to end (Num_14:24 contrast)

Heb_3:15 — Repeats Psalm warning (Psa_95:7–8)

Heb_3:16 — Rebels leaving Egypt (Num_14:2; Exo_17:2)

Heb_3:17 — Bodies fell wilderness (Num_14:29, Num_14:32)

Heb_3:18 — Oath not entering rest (Num_14:23; Deu_1:34–35)

Heb_3:19 — Unbelief barred entry (Num_14:11, Num_14:23)

Hebrews 3 links & contrasts Moses's integrity in Numbers 12 with the Israelite rebellious sins in Numbers 14

3/7/26

>>Scrip: ES

Num_14:29 NKJV The carcasses of you who have complained against Me shall fall in this wilderness, all of you who were numbered, according to your entire number, from twenty years old and above.

Num_14:33 NKJV And your sons shall be shepherds in the wilderness forty years, and bear the brunt of your infidelity, until your carcasses are consumed in the wilderness.

Num_14:34 NKJV According to the number of the days in which you spied out the land, forty days, for each day you shall bear your guilt one year, namely forty years, and you shall know My rejection.

Not only does Miriam and Aaron's mistake apply to the rebellion later on in numbers 14, but Psalm 95 links it to today and applies it immediately to the readers and listeners, and not only does it do that in Psalm 95 but Hebrews 3 continues faithfully applying this exact same warning to us today as long as it is called today!

Stop seeing this story in isolation!

It applies backwards to Moses's integrity (in the preceding authoritative governing context)

Numbers 12, including God's spirit who wrote this account, is not authorizing you to criticize blaspheme and correct Miriam and Aaron, it's pointing out how much worse your own flesh is then theirs and how you're the one in danger of missing out on their learned atonement!

Numbers 12 is doing the exact opposite of what the flesh thinks it's doing when it criticizes and blasphemes they matriarchs and patriarchs.

If you're fleshly you're going to congratulate yourself for a superior insight when you criticize the Bible heroes, but if your spiritual you'll obey God's spirit who wrote it and fear and tremble to be found saved from this awful doomed flesh and zealous and excited about entering into the inspired integrity of Moses's virtuous obedience.

Psalm 95 and Hebrews 3 have moved past Marion and Aaron's mistake, since they got atonement, and the sin that God's spirit is focused on is not his heroes but on the continuing rebellion of the flesh in those who die under God's judgment in the wilderness and are still in danger to this day.

Blaspheming the patriarch doesn't pay off at all, but dooms your flesh to fail like their critics and enemies did in the wilderness, and assuming non-inspiration doesn't make you more perceptive and wise but makes you a gullible fool in The flesh as a child and slave of Satan the accuser, who does not cringe to recoil from blasphemy.

>>Scrip: /\/\

It applies forward to our immediate warning of the rebellion of our own flesh today.

Never mind Once Saved Always Saved

Get up, fear God, and obediently apply the Bible to Our lives to get zealous repentant and holy!

Moses’ Inspiration → Wilderness Rebellion → Warnings Still Apply TODAY!

When are we going to sufficiently apply the warnings against our flesh and finally get inspired with Moses's virtue?

>>Scrip: quote all of it??? \/\/\/

ES: Miriam and Aaron Oppose Moses

CAB: Aaron and Miriam Jealous of Moses

Num_12:1 WEB Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Cushite woman whom he had married; for he had married a Cushite woman.

…

Num_12:2-8 – God confronts the situation – with the greatest legacy of Moses, that follows all the way into the New Testament

“faithful in all my house” = Num_12:7 → Heb_3:2-6 [comp. 1Ti_3:15, 1Pe_2:4-5]

…

Num_12:9 WEB The anger of Yahweh was kindled against them; and he departed.

Num_12:9 And the great anger of the Lord was upon them, and He departed.

Num_12:14 And the Lord said to Moses, “If her father had only spit in her face, would she not be ashamed seven days? Let her be set apart seven days outside the camp, and afterwards she shall come in.”

Num_12:14 καὶ εἶπεν κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν Εἰ ὁ πατὴρ αὐτῆς πτύων ἐνέπτυσεν εἰς τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτῆς, οὐκ ἐντραπήσεται ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας; ἀφορισθήτω ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας ἔξω τῆς παρεμβολῆς καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα εἰσελεύσεται.

Num_12:15 WEB Miriam was shut up outside of the camp seven days, and the people didn't travel until Miriam was brought in again.

Num_12:15 And Miriam was separated outside the camp for seven days; and the people did not move forward until Miriam was cleansed.

Questions & Considerations -- After Reading

2/22/26; 2/28/26-3/1/26

What You Think Matters, Because…

· Heart Flow: Words overflow * out of your heart which you need to guard carefully!

· Words = Deeds! *

· Truth Matters: God cares about your "theology" of inspiration (2Ti_3 – 4)

· Assuming non-inspiration can kill you & others! -- So what you think matters!

· Untruth = Loveless-ness: You need to get your learning and understanding straight when it comes to inspiration because it directly affects how you Love or blaspheme His favorite people

* Words = Overflowing Deeds: Mat_12:33-34, etc.; Luk_6:43-46 (comp. Mat_5:17-20; Mat_7:13-29; Mat_12:33-37; Luk_6:43-49)

See: ROW > Overflow of Heart

Repent-of-Words.htm#OverflowofHeart

What “House”?

· What is God's house?

· This can help us identify the realm in which Moses is all-faithful in which makes God trust him so much, and make him so sizzling and special out of this world!

· House Identity = Prerequisite for who’s right/inspired

Applications for Today??

· How can we obey and apply these principles directly to us today?

· Remember: the Bible finds ways that the Bible Truly DOES MORALLY apply, in a revolutionary obedience-demanding way, not excuses to ignore itself and make its teachings irrelevant like liberals do, so that no one has to change out of their luxury sins, and no one has to repent of their habitual evil and change their whole life around.

Harshness?

Why was the punishment so harsh?

Miriam’s Correction

Black Woman

Heb: Cush (black) / Greek: Ethiopian (burnt countenance)

Now let's read the passage (& review & remember the story)…

Jealousy at the Root of Error <<<<<<<

3/13/26

Ethiopian woman reminds us of how the new Moses will select the gentiles and provoke Israel to jealousy...

>>Scrip:

I will provoke you to jealousy by that which is not a nation

Assuming non-inspiration is therefore an error of associating with and sympathizing with the flesh, and not truly owning up to your flesh's desolation and being pricked with conviction from the testimony against your own uninspired subdivenity enough to repent and admire the prophetic shadow of salvation.

Moses was inspired and therefore his spiritual and obedient actions predict the future, and from marrying a black woman Moses was memorialized into such greatness that it survived into the New Testament praise of Jesus's identity.

In fact, if you don't get Moses's great identity you are removing the wisdom of the Scriptures that gives you faith into who Jesus is into salvation

Remember:

2Ti_3: The Inspired Scriptures are able to make you wise into salvation through faith in Jesus

See: Inspired Scriptures (above)

Stop removing Jesus from Numbers 12!

Catch up with Moses's sizzling greatness and divine inspiration so that you can find out who Jesus really is.

Accountability << Refine

Other date(s); 3/15/26

Moses shows God is Judge of our sinfulness

Oh they didn't inspiration now, or get judged for horrible crimes later

Morality/virtue/inspiration is the key to understanding the future coming judgment

Moses clearly shows us this Reality

Moses Judgement

Judge

· Jesus = Judge: The Revelation that Jesus is coming to be a judge got them blasted with the One Spirit Who is Holy in Acts 10,

· today we crying grown when talking about judgment, so we've got something really wrong today

· because we don't want to know who He really is, and it's time to finally crucify the flesh, with the potent reality of Moses and Jesus is real true revealed identity!

The Point: We need to prepare to Love Jesus’ coming identity as Judge, which saves people into His End Times revelation

Accountability Defined

>>Scrip: ES

Ecc_12:14 NKJV For God will bring every work into judgment, Including every secret thing, Whether good or evil.

Heb_9:27 NKJV And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment,

2Co_5:10 NKJV For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.

Act_17:30 NKJV Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent,

Act_17:31 NKJV because He has appointed a day on which He will judge the world in righteousness by the Man whom He has ordained. He has given assurance of this to all by raising Him from the dead.

Isa_

MT: Amo_4:12 – Prepare to meet your God

Amo_4:12

Amo_4:12 LB

>>TSK

We need a moral logical assurance of optimistically anticipating God's accountability for the actions of the human race

Not because of being the devil’s martyr.

Punishment Theme

3/1/26

Big

We can be sure that punishment is a very big scene in Numbers 12.

Desolation Acknowledgment Required! <<<

3/1/26

· Willingly Corrected, or Forcefully Destroyed?: If you don't acknowledge your own desolation, God is zealous to bring this harsh realization upon you.

· Smashed or Saved?: Will reality/Truth smash you to pieces, or will it save you?

· Got Truth?: Are you carrying a realistic Truth-loving awareness of your flesh's desolation around with you in your social interactions?

· Got Special Love?: are you loving righteous ALL-obeyers as the most special people upon the face of the whole earth?

· Are You Teachable or Blind?: If you’re not being trained to have special Love for the divine inspiration within ALL-obeyers, then you are (A) blind to your desolation, (B) blind to others value, (C) sinning against Love, (D) judging yourself worthy of punishment, and (E) not learning just about anything from sizzling inspired obedience passages like Numbers 12, etc.

Punishment = Crime

2/20/26-2/21/26; 2/28/26; 3/11/26

· Perfection: God is always right

· Justice: Remember that the punishment fits the crime

· Stop Trivializing: Whenever God punishes us it is to prove to us that our sin is always more serious than we feel like it is in our flesh.

· Get Sober: The severity of the punishment should motivate us to avoid the guilt of the crime.

Won’t the Judge of all the Earth do Right?

3/11/26

>>Scrip: ES

Gen_18:25 NKJV Far be it from You to do such a thing as this, to slay the righteous with the wicked, so that the righteous should be as the wicked; far be it from You! Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?

Hebrews_2:2-3

Heb_2:2 CAB For if the word which was spoken through angels was confirmed, and every transgression [παράβασις] and disobedience [παρακοὴ = Heb_12] received a just reward [ἔλαβεν ἔνδικον μισθαποδοσίαν],

Heb_2:2 εἰ γὰρ ὁ δι᾿ ἀγγέλων λαληθεὶς λόγος ἐγένετο βέβαιος, καὶ πᾶσα παράβασις καὶ παρακοὴ ἔλαβεν ἔνδικον μισθαποδοσίαν,

Heb_2:3 how shall we escape [ἐκφευξόμεθα] ·if we neglect so great a salvation [τηλικαύτης ἀμελήσαντες σωτηρίας], which in the beginning was spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed to us by those who heard Him,

Heb_2:3 πῶς ἡμεῖς ἐκφευξόμεθα τηλικαύτης ἀμελήσαντες σωτηρίας; ἥτις ἀρχὴν λαβοῦσα λαλεῖσθαι διὰ τοῦ Κυρίου, ὑπὸ τῶν ἀκουσάντων εἰς ἡμᾶς ἐβεβαιώθη,

Heb_2:4 God also bearing witness both with signs and wonders, with various miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit, according to His own will?

Heb_2:4 συνεπιμαρτυροῦντος τοῦ Θεοῦ σημείοις τε καὶ τέρασι καὶ ποικίλαις δυνάμεσι καὶ Πνεύματος ῾Αγίου μερισμοῖς κατὰ τὴν αὐτοῦ θέλησιν.

√ GNT-V

Blindness Punished

3/1/26

Blind to Desolation & Value & Love

When you're blind to your own desolation then you're also blind to other people's value - and you disqualify yourself from any substantial biblical Love.

Staying Blind = Doomed To Sin

Don't stay blind to value!

When you sin against Loving value (with people & God) punishment is needed.

Punished Desolation is Serious! <<<<<< titles

…2/28/26

Sin Separates you from God (reminder)

· Assuming: Including the sin of assuming non-inspiration

· Life: You need God's presence to live!

· Justice: You need to do horizontal Justice to God on Earth to find out & know who He is!

Stop Flattery

· Stop Pride: Stop the self-flattery of boasting and independent pride and

· Imitate: learn something from Miriam's trial enough to stop all assumptions against inspiration

Inspiration vs Desolation

3/21/26; 2/28/26

We see a profound contrast between the begging Faith to Love Moses's inspiration vs. Independence and self-assurance that ends in Desolation.

Seriousness Proven

· Sober Up: Whenever God punishes you it is to show you that your sin is more serious than you thought it was

· Repent of Trivializing: He judges you with harsh punishment to prove to you that your trivializing of your faults was foolish and invalid

· Take Warning: Heaven feeds you with desolation to remind you of the chaotic destruction of your sin

· Unholy Happiness Judged: When you are happy with your Independence God will ultimately make you sad with His judgment.

Higher Standards

· Privileges Get Strictness: When God's presence is closer judgment is Swiffer and more severe.

· Are You Serious: Do you really want God's presence?

· Sin Doesn't Want God: You cannot honestly say that you crave to know who God is, and come close to Him, when you are continuing in the sins which He harshly punishes.

· Preemptive Punishment: Oftentimes He won't reveal Himself to you because He Loves you too much to destroy you that quickly.

· Patient Opportunity to Repent: His patience with your Independence keeps you alive long enough to consider your wretchedness and repent

· Majority Can't Handle the Fire: Most people who are deserving God's judgment would quickly perish and not be redeemed with Miriam, as seen by comparing Numbers 12 with Number 16

A Seriousness Mistake! <<< titles

2/20/26-2/21/26; 2/28/26-3/1/26; 3/7/26

Seriousness of Punishment

The Seriousness of Miriam's Mistake & Punishment

>>Scrip: ES

Miriam Dead?

· Miriam is understood as “dead”

· The dreadful disease is not taking lightly (Num_12:12 [dead]; Deu_24:8-9)

Little Question → Harsh Punishment!

At first Miriam's mistakes sounds like she's just asking a potentially innocent question

God comes down with furious punishment

So what happened?

Questions = Good, But…

· Ask: Questions are usually the safest things you can do.

· Ask More: In fact you should be asking more questions!

But...

· Loaded Questions: Sometimes questions also carry implications, which can be illustrated by Number 16 a few chapters later, along with the rest of the Law of Moses before and after this event.

· Condemned Heart Motives: and the Very hint of perversion is seen by God through the question all the way down to the root cause of something seriously wrong in the heart

A Wrong Kind of Asking!

3/7/26

Begging to believe produces Biblical asking and receiving

Asking with subtle implications that say more than they asked is invalid - Numbers 12 teaches us not to ask these kinds of disguised questions that hide assumptions despising and doubt.

You need the real clean faith in the Bible

Not hypocritical so called "Faith"

Ask in Faith, not Despising!

Jam_1:6 – Ask in Faith

>>Scrip: ES

Jam_1:6 NKJV But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind.

Mar_11:24 NKJV Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.

Mat_21:22 NKJV And whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.

1Jn_5:14 NKJV Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.

1Jn_5:15 NKJV And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him.

Heb_11:6 NKJV But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

Accident doubt is bad enough

how much worse is asking while despising, that implies God is not true?

Unhypocritical Faith

Faith unfeigned

>>Scrip: ES

1Ti_1:5 NKJV Now the purpose of the commandment is love from a pure heart, from a good conscience, and from ~~sincere~~ faith,

2Ti_1:5 NKJV when I call to remembrance the genuine faith that is in you, which dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice, and I am persuaded is in you also.

Rom_12:9 NKJV Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good.

1Pe_1:22 NKJV Since you have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit in ~~sincere~~ love of the brethren, love one another fervently with a pure heart,

2Co_6:6 NKJV by purity, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Spirit, by ~~sincere~~ love,

Jam_3:17 NKJV But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy.

But real faith that believes inspiration and would not dare despise, blasphemy, and disarrange obeyer’s faith in atheism

A Crime against Humanity's Purpose

· Harsh Punishment: A punishment that is Deep and profound with such disrespect (as Num_12), indicates…

· Smallest Purpose: a passionate punishment against a radical departure and disarrangement of the very foundational purpose for why God made people, and

· Missing the Point: what He has defined human value to be in the first place to begin with.

Why then is Assuming non-inspiration so deathly of a sin?

Remember the Purpose!

· Multiplied Inspiration: The purpose of humans is to make a lot of babies and tell Them the Word of God.
See: Genesis 1 through 5!

· Holy Seed: The education of the babies you make and multiply is at the very heart and foundation of Adam’s commission

· Holy Wife: Adam was supposed to make & keep his wife holy, and keep her from sin, since…

· Generational Transmission Commissioned: God commissioned Adam to talk to his wife and transmit the prophetic warning against premature knowledge through unlawful partaking of the tree of knowledge and good and evil, while making babies and continuing to propagate God's Words from one generation to the next.

Passion for the Purpose

· Retain: So remember God's purpose at the very beginning of Genesis, and then…

· Apply Biblically: Combine that realization with God's zealous and passionate punishment against assuming non-inspiration in Numbers 12.

· Apply Today!: Obey the consistent message to repent of Despising Inspiration

Assuming = Punished Crime

See: LOB > Assuming Non-Inspiration -- Defined

Letteral-Obedience.htm#AssumingNonInspirationDefined

God's Presence = Lost Through Assumptions

· Assuming Banished: Miriam's leprosy in Numbers 12 makes a profound link between assuming non-inspiration and being put away from God's presence,

· Banished from Inspired Relationships: Miriam's punishment includes missing out on the presence of God on Earth in the tabernacle as well as God's presence through inspired obeyers

Miriam = Best Case Scenario (with Redemption)

· Saved Repentance: Miriam's leprosy is actually one of the most optimistic stories in the whole Bible against assuming non-inspiration.

· Others Perished: Others are far more full of dire dread and judgment and failure and condemnation...

Ignoring the Obvious

& Looking in All The Wrong Places

So, so often we are busy chasing around the wrong problems and looking in all the wrong places for the solution to our afflictions and problems, all the while ignoring the most direct clean obvious True righteous inspired answer right in front of our nose that the Bible keeps on telling us, but our hearts are so hard and blind we can't even hear the explicit Truth and warnings that keep coming in our ears days without end!

Heartened Denial of Inspired Salvation

People can read the Bible countless times and still be disobeying inspiration, and assuming that it's not there, and hardening their heart, and rejecting God's inspired obeyers, and not listening to the Truth outside of their flesh that they need in order to be saved.

God's Words Needed for Life!

· Inspiration Salvation: Whether (A) God speaks to you in private or whether (B) He speaks to you through another person, in both cases you need the Word of God to live! (Deu_8:3/Mat_4:4/Luk_4:4)

· Get Humble: "Beggars can't be choosers" as we've so frequently heard it said.

· Independence Is Doomed: You don't get to choose to only “hear God” in private yourself, so you can maintain your sinful satanic autonomy, and prop up the deception that you don't need other people -- just so you can keep on disobeying the Bible (which says you do need inspired obeyers to be saved).

Man lives by Every Spoken Word of God: Deu_8:3/Mat_4:4/Luk_4:4

Food Hunger → Teaches Inspiration Hunger -- Israelite’s Wilderness

Deu_8:3 WEB He humbled you, and allowed you to hunger, and fed you with manna, which you didn't know, neither did your fathers know; that he might make you know that man does not live by bread only, but by everything that proceeds out of the mouth of Yahweh does man live.

Deu_8:3 LB And He afflicted you and let you hunger, and fed you with manna, which your fathers knew not; that He might teach you that man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God shall man live.

Deu_8:3 καὶ ἐκάκωσέν σε καὶ ἐλιμαγχόνησέν σε καὶ ἐψώμισέν σε τὸ μαννα, ὃ οὐκ εἴδησαν οἱ πατέρες σου, ἵνα ἀναγγείλῃ σοι ὅτι οὐκ ἐπ᾿ ἄρτῳ μόνῳ ζήσεται ὁ ἄνθρωπος, ἀλλ᾿ ἐπὶ παντὶ ῥήματι τῷ ἐκπορευομένῳ διὰ στόματο

Bread vs. Spoken Word -- Jesus's Wilderness

God is Silent when You Selfishly Assume

By far and beyond almost all other causes of failure assuming non-inspiration in others is almost always the most epidemical cause of why you can't hear God yourself.

Your Bad Reputation = God’s Silence

Your Selfish Reputation Reinforces God’s Silence

· Hard of Hearing: If you can be so busy with pride that you can't receive Truth when it's right in front of your ears and

· You're Not Listening: you can't have faith that God is telling you how to change, then

· God Can't Trust You: why is God going to trust you with something even more exclusive and reveal the vital Truth you need by yourself, when

· Denial Idolizes Independence: He already knows that you're going to be prideful, and denying what He already said through someone else, and

· Your Reputation for Abuse: you show that you are about to use your privileges for your own sinful self-reassuring prideful independence!?

Stop the Misery of Assuming!

· Missouri Denial: Whatever your trial is don't keep rotting yourself and wasting away, continuing and perpetuating your own misery by denying the happy Truth of inspiration!

· All Have Sinned: I'm sure you've messed up like I have countless times in the numerable ways - cuz that's who we are as humans, But…

· Time to Change: after enough pain with sin, it's high time to finally have some poor broken faith that doesn't resist God's Word, and

· Stop Self-destruction: it's time to cease and desist lest you destroy yourself with hard-heartedness and

· Stop Denying Inspiration: Stop hazardous-reckless denial of God speaking to you through others to save your soul, and

· Imitate Perfect Examples: Obeyers are giving you a perfect examples of obeying all of His Words that you should be zealously and eagerly imitating with optimistic cheerful excitement to inherit the Kingdom of Heaven.

Spitting is Harsh!

Other date(s); 2/20/26

Spit Warning: When you assume non-inspiration, then God will “spit in your face” (Num_12:15) -- even if you are immeasurably Loved & important like Miriam was, as a vital part of God’s mission (as we saw in Mic_6:4 previously).

So…

Num_12:8 implies that you should have been afraid to sin in that way -- Assuming non-Inspiration.

Num_12:11 – Aaron admits fault and begs for mercy and healing and salvation

This is the solution to assuming non-inspiration is to repent & beg, while accusing yourself of ignorance and sin

Begging in Numbers 12 <<<< Scrip

3/18/26-3/19/26

>>Scrip:

Acts 8

Begging in Numbers 12 = Begging in Acts 8

Death ← Pride → Punishment → Desolation* → Begging → Faith → Atonement → Healing/Salvation

Desolation acknowledgment honesty realization

This is still just as relevant today as it was in Numbers 12

Paul was also remarkably struck which means you have a whole lifetime around, and was very ripe for Ananias' healing, baptism, and sin being washing away into atonement

Importance = Love <<<<<<<< titles

· Moses Was Inspired: Moses was so important that God took the mistake personally -- insulting Moses was insulting God (Moses represented God).

· Exiled: Miriam was away from God’s glorious face-presence & away from Moses and other righteous people who represented God

· Compassion of Shared Suffering: Miriam was so important they all paused for each other (just like Hosea below)

· Love: When you treat people as importantly as God does, then you get real Love.

· Avoid this Crime: Notice that assuming non-inspiration really is a great crime against the Bible! -- it could kill a righteous person without atonement

Waiting for Miriam

2/24/26

We've seen that Miriam was great

We've got to fight to have faith in the Truth so that we can actually gain saving moral education from this account

God is holier than His heroes

Even her punishment shows her greatness

At first a surface level reading might leave a gullible person looking down on her, but all reverent readers have to admit the unavoidable acknowledgment of her greatness embedded within her punishment

Miriam's greatness reminds us that even though we can identify with her mistake, yet we still need to stretch forward toward her greatness

When great people's mistakes are recorded in the scriptures, it tells us a lot...

The Bible is always brutally honest about the mistakes of its heroes - you don't ever have to despise them or blaspheme the patriarchs or interpret anything wrong with them since the Bible is always explicit about when they mess up

It doesn't matter if you feel like the patriarchs did something wrong, it matters if the Bible corrects them

Your posture is always imitation toward their greatness until and unless the Bible explicitly corrects its heroes

Even when a Bible hero, or Bible obeyer is corrected, you have to remember their greatness

Always consider that they are the ones who learned the most from their correction and are passing it down to us, who still need to learn the lesson they were corrected by, otherwise we wouldn't so easily fall into and relate to their mistakes

A non-desolate acknowledging person well inevitably despise Bible heroes and Bible obeyers - so your flesh is doomed to never understand the Bible enough to obey it, because it can't obey God's law (Romans 8)

We need to receive from Jonah without assuming that our uninspired flash has any idea how great Jonah is

If you leave frowning on a hero you can be sure your wicked flesh has deceived your heart by pride and flattery

This is why bombing the world with Bibles doesn't work without a proclaimer specifically confronting the flesh - God has not worked his heroes out of a job by the inventions of humans like the printing press and multiplied technology

The surprising irony is that if you leave numbers 12 frowning at Miriam you are more guilty than her when she was as good as dead, because you're still despising God's heroes

Take the heart the hypocrisy of the flesh which will condemn you if you don't run out into the safety of saving faith in God's message about his heroes and his testimony against sin

You are not in a position to correct God's heroes in the Bible or Those obeying all of his words today

Your flesh always belongs in subjection, and your mouth and heart are commanded to always acknowledge your desolation

Dismantling all confidence, assurance, flattery, boasting, any full acknowledgment and embracing of your flesh is Desolation is the only escape from certain Doom into the atonement that saves you into the righteousness of obeying all the Bible, including trembling at the greatness of his heroes, including Bible obeyers today

Remember! If you see yourself as equal with God's heroes, either then or even right now today, you have not escaped the Doom of Miriam's mistake!

When you tremble before God's judgment and you fear like he said to fear and you reverence the source of eternal life that he has inspired obedience with on the earth then you are finally obeying this passage in all of the other heroic teachings throughout the whole Bible

Logic is Redeemed - from The Poisoned Question

3/21/26

Even though Miriam made a mistake, she made her objection in the form of a question, which itself leaves the discussion open for a corrective answer.

The mindfulness of the serpent to deceive Eve as well as the poisoned question and Numbers 12 are recorded in the Bible because they frame the issue based on a misuse of otherwise God-ordained thought which is then turned back around into Truth and redemption

The snakes tempting question has become a Standardized way to frame all sin as guilty since it always follows the same principles.

In the same way, the poisoned question in Numbers 12 has become a standard against assuming non inspiration while becoming an occasion against the flesh of Moses's highest praise and ongoing memorial, even into the New Covenant.

Sin is a very typical vehicle which is used as a contrast to formulate the law of Moses.

Miriam's mistake is sadly a failure that is gladly turned into Moses's vindication and praise.

We should hold on all the more mightily to God's inspired testimony against the flesh and to stop it dead in his tracks with crucifixion at every turn

Inspiration Hope

3/1/26

Opportunity

Every one of us has the opportunity to apprehend divine inspiration in some form or fashion and to some degree or the other.

Get Flesh out of the Way!

Let The corrupt and nasty, imperfect and uninspired flesh be reverently subjected, even in punishment if necessary, and learn to willingly embrace crucifixion by atoning faith, and let imperfections step aside and get out of the way for the greater excellencies of whatever perfect truth God really is really saying in and through each other's inspired all obedience.

Desolation Lacks Perfection

By default, your prayer life is in deep trouble - who are you praying to anyway, in this age of uninspired rebellion and dirty apostasy?

Church people love to talk about their imperfection with such tolerance and acceptance, but no one is simultaneously craving the perfection of inspired obedience from Him Who wrote the Bible! It's time the blind and treacherous flesh is crucified out of the way to prepare the way of the monotheistic Lord of perfect inspiration!

Miriam’s Trial (in Num_12)

· Distance Lesson: Miriam’s Leprosy Trial was a punishment of separation.

· Submit: She did not flatter herself after being convicted, but repented (Num_12:14-15; Mic_6:4), unlike most church people do today.

· Shared Learning Through Sympathy: All of the leaders pulled together to learn something about sin from Miriam’s punishment of separation

· Today: It's high time we learn something! -- Apply (A) all of these virtues and (B) examples given to us to imitate!

Lepers -- in Reflection

In Numbers 12, like other lepers, Miriam had to be separated and spend a week outside of the camp, separated from everyone's company. This punishing trial gave Miriam time to regain and reestablish perfect and clean faithfulness and Love toward her brother Moses, and the God who possessed him.

Don't Blaspheme Miriam or Moses!

3/1/26; 3/14/26-3/15/26

>>Collaborative TAGS:

· Repeating Failure: Don't blaspheme Miriam because of her punishment of leprosy, because if you do you are doing the exact same mistake without learning from her suffering.

· Ironical Guilt: Ironically, blaspheming Miriam is doing the exact same mistake she made against Moses, except your more guilty than she was, because you refuse to stop, repent, and learn from her punishment.

· Corrective Revelation: Now that the revelation has come were no longer allowed to keep doing the same mistakes, as if God is not demanding for us to learn something from these corrective stories He's telling us (such as Deu_24:9 remembering this mistake).

· Respect Heroes: So don't blaspheme inspired people like Moses, ‘who was faithful in all God's house’ (Num_12:7; Heb_3:2-6), nor should you blaspheme Miriam who temporarily blasphemed Moses (Num_12:1-2, etc.), because if you permanently despise Bible heroes (disobeying Heb_6:12 & Heb_13:7), then such sinful perversion stops you from imitating them (same), and learning from their correction and avoiding the mistake yourself by considering their painful punishments. (Deu_24:9 vs. 1Co_10; etc.)

You should not blaspheme Bible heroes who were greater than you can ever imagine in your uninspired subdividing faith-less flesh.

Miriam was Great! (reminder) <<<<<

Orthodox Memory = “Greatness”!

· Remember Inspiration: Micha memorializes Miriam with accurate greatness, without blaspheming the matriarchs (like our forgetful sloppy tendencies do so much today in churches), so…

· Accurate Memory: Don't forget that this Cherishing goodness is the Orthodox conclusion and memorial of Miriam (Mic_6:4)

Miriam's NT Legacy

In New Testament times, countless woman are named “Miriam”/Marry -- this shows that they remembered the right thing about Moses’ sister, unlike us today who are so fond of blaspheming the patriarchs and matriarchs of the Bible who were (by default) far greater than us, beyond comprehension.

Mistake in Numbers

Miriam was GREAT… but then there was a trial when Miriam got leprosy… (seen below)

· Contrasting Judgment: She was not destroyed in Numbers 12 like they were in Number 16, and like church people will be destroyed in the end times (Jud_1:11 – referring backward to Number 16, an ancient warning)

Atonement Implication = Required

Miriam’s Atonement is an Inspired & Required Implication -- Biblical Pattern of Obedience

>>Collaborative TAGS:

· Atonement Insight: Mariam's implied atonement tells us a lot about how to read the Bible:

· Attention to Implications: You are truly required to pay attention to the subtle details and own up to the implications when you compare Numbers 12 atonement with Numbers 16 judgment.

· Understanding is Required: You're not allowed to pretend like those details don't matter, because the Bible is commanding you to put two and two together to understand.

>>Scrip: /\ >> LOB

Therefore, obeying all includes submitting to the implications of the details and the realizations when you compare passages together.

· (D) Imitate-able: they do not just teach us how NOT to be, they teach us how TO BE righteous, by cooperatively repenting in an inspired way and changing to agree with the Truth when punished, much like David! (Psalm 51, etc)

Gal_2:11 ῞Οτε δὲ ἦλθε Πέτρος εἰς ᾿Αντιόχειαν, κατὰ πρόσωπον αὐτῷ ἀντέστην, ὅτι κατεγνωσμένος ἦν.

Gal_2:11 οτε δε ηλθεν Aκηφας TSBπετρος εις αντιοχειαν κατα προσωπον αυτω αντεστην οτι κατεγνωσμενος ην

Verbal Confrontation

Gal_2:14 CAB But when I saw that they did not act rightly with respect to the truth of the gospel, I said to Peter before them all, "If you, being a Jew, live in Gentile fashion and not in Jewish fashion, why do you compel the Gentiles to live as Jews?

Gal_2:14 ἀλλ᾿ ὅτε εἶδον ὅτι οὐκ ὀρθοποδοῦσι πρὸς τὴν ἀλήθειαν τοῦ εὐαγγελίου, εἶπον τῷ Πέτρῳ ἔμπροσθεν πάντων· εἰ σὺ ᾿Ιουδαῖος ὑπάρχων ἐθνικῶς ζῇς καὶ οὐκ ᾿Ιουδαϊκῶς, τί τὰ ἔθνη ἀναγκάζεις ᾿Ιουδαΐζειν;

Gal_2:14 αλλ οτε ειδον οτι ουκ ορθοποδουσιν προς την αληθειαν του ευαγγελιου ειπον τω Aκηφα TSBπετρω εμπροσθεν παντων ει συ ιουδαιος υπαρχων εθνικως TSBζης και Aουχι TSBουκ ιουδαικως Aζης Aπως TSBτι τα εθνη αναγκαζεις ιουδαιζειν

Obeyers are Corrected!

2/25/26…2/27/26-2/28/26

Obeyers Cooperatively Receive Correction

Miriam's leprosy reminds us that great people can make big mistakes, but it also reminds us that…

· (1) Clean: they're clean God corrects them,

· (2) Honest: they own up to their uncleanness, and

· (3) Repentant: they don't keep on sinning! = Atoned!

2Sa_12:7 WEB Nathan said to David, "You are the man. This is what Yahweh, the God of Israel, says: 'I anointed you king over Israel, and I delivered you out of the hand of Saul.

2Sa_12:7 LB And Nathan said to David, “You are the man that has done this! Thus says the Lord God of Israel: ‘I anointed you to be king over Israel, and I rescued you out the hand of Saul;

2Sa_12:7 καὶ εἶπεν Ναθαν πρὸς Δαυιδ Σὺ εἶ ὁ ἀνὴρ ὁ ποιήσας τοῦτο· τάδε λέγει κύριος ὁ θεὸς Ισραηλ Ἐγώ εἰμι ἔχρισά σε εἰς βασιλέα ἐπὶ Ισραηλ, καὶ ἐγώ εἰμι ἐρρυσάμην σε ἐκ χειρὸς Σαουλ

2Sa_12:13 WEB David said to Nathan, "I have sinned against Yahweh." Nathan said to David, "Yahweh also has put away your sin. You will not die.

2Sa_12:13 LB And David said to Nathan, “I have sinned against the Lord.” And Nathan said to David, “The Lord has put away your sin; you shall not die.

2Sa_12:13 καὶ εἶπεν Δαυιδ τῷ Ναθαν Ἡμάρτηκα τῷ κυρίῳ. καὶ εἶπεν Ναθαν πρὸς Δαυιδ Καὶ κύριος παρεβίβασεν τὸ ἁμάρτημά σου, οὐ μὴ ἀποθάνῃς·

2Sa_12:14 WEB However, because by this deed you have given great occasion to Yahweh's enemies to blaspheme, the child also who is born to you shall surely die."

2Sa_12:14 Only because you have given great occasion of provocation to the enemies of the Lord by this thing, your son also that is born to you shall surely die.”

2Sa_12:14 πλὴν ὅτι παροξύνων παρώξυνας τοὺς ἐχθροὺς κυρίου ἐν τῷ ῥήματι τούτῳ, καί γε ὁ υἱός σου ὁ τεχθείς σοι θανάτῳ ἀποθανεῖται.

Just as the Bible always tells us very clearly when it's heroes messed up, so also those who remain heroes are redeemed from their sin by honestly acknowledging, embracing, and taking care of their uncleanness through attaining supernatural atonement.

Remember Lesson Louder than Mistakes

· Adjust Selective Memory: Don’t remember their mistakes as loud as you remember what they LEARNED and are telling you to learn

· Praise Heroes = OT Value: remembering to praise what they learn louder than you judge how they messed up is actually one of the fundamental ways that we understand the biblical value for the Old Testament

Sin Redeemed

Marion's mistake actually was used to bring about one of the most tremendous Revelations of Moses's praise, and the big point that we miss is that she agreed with it!

Restoration

2/20/26

From Miriam's mistake we can see that it is very possible to be Righteous, and even great in God's Kingdom and yet deeply mess up in the realm of inspiration.

Take Hope on one hand that if you've been sinful it's (hopefully) not too late for redemption.

Take warning as well that you have own up to your uncleanness and "leprosy" (sin) to engage in the mediation of God's atonement.

in order to be restored you must acknowledge your lawlessness and be humbled under God's disrespect against your error, and wait in humility and patience collaborating together with the righteous to be cleaned and hopefully come back into sharing fellowship with the household of the Israel of God.

Apply Warnings to Today

We don't need to simply entertain ourselves with these accounts as cute Bible stories. Even a rebellious liberal has said, 'the Bible is not a children's book'.

We need to take these striking accounts in deeply and carefully consider Them as warnings to apply to ourselves.

Stop assuming not inspiration.

Start treating people as importantly as God has declared them to be.

Stop refusing and avoiding atonement and in humility received the cleaning you need to be accepted into God's people.

If you're not humble like Miriam to receive atonement through God's favorite people, like she did in Numbers 12 you will die the death of the wicked with Cora's rebellion in Numbers 16

Don't ever harden your heart and delay the day of your redemption lest you be hardened by sin and perish along the way in the meantime

Flattery Reminders

2/20/26

· Avoid self-flattery and boasting

· Don't be like apostate Israel that congratulated themselves with premature celebrations of self-righteousness and egocentric pride

· Admit that apostasy exists and that inspiration, including inspiration through others to save you, is your only biblical solution to escape

John the Baptist Reminders

2/20/26

Remember that John the Baptist has no recorded sin in the Scriptures and was blamelessly filled with the clean Spirit from the womb.

It was he who said...

Mat_3:14-15 – I need to be baptized by you (John the Baptist)

Mat_3:14 NKJV And John tried to prevent Him, saying, “I need to be baptized by You, and are You coming to me?”

Mat_3:15 NKJV But Jesus answered and said to him, “Permit it to be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he allowed Him.

If people as great as John the Baptist crawled out of the wilderness with Divine truth so mighty that it announced the salvation of the Kingdom of Heaven, which Jesus himself participated in and carried through to ultimate fulfillment, how much more should you beg God on Earth to help save your pitiful soul from The perils and pitfalls of your uninspired flesh?

Even with great people in the Bible, those who save others must themselves be saved, which includes in a collaborative brotherhood of righteous inspired obeyers all throughout the scriptures

Hosea & Paul

Now we need to also consider Hezekiah, Hosea and Paul's holiness standards for functioning Love relationships…
