An Observation: New ' Ten Commandments' Movie
We watched in anticipation the latest Hollywood
instalment of one of the Bible's most beloved and
powerful Men of God, 'Moses'!
The newest 'Ten Commandments' version not like
the classic Cecil B. Demille's ultralavish 1956
production starring the actor Charlton Heston. A
thundering portrayal of the 'savior'of Israel who by
God's direction led the children out of the
Egyptian slavery and bondage of 400 years!
This 'new' version showed a more human Moses full
of doubts, fears and apprehension.
Like us at times!
mg:
We enjoyed watching it except for the 'license' the
director, Robert Dornhelm exercised. Like 'Demille's'
movie, some biblical accountswere either ommitted
or added. And, just like Demille's version, Hollywood
threw in some events that were never recorded in
God's Word.
There were 'many' points that the Holy Spirit spoke
to my family and I about. But these I am sharing are
in keeping with 'Good Friday' and the 'Resurrection'
[Easter] of Our dear Lord and SaviorJesus Christ!

[1] The individual 'lamb' for a house!
Ex:12:2: This month shall be unto you the beginning
of months: it shallbe the first month of the year to
you.
Ex:12:3: Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel,
saying, In the tenth day of this month they shall take
to them every man a lamb, according to the house of
their fathers, a lamb for an house:
Ex:12:21: Then Moses called for all the elders of
Israel, and said unto them,Draw out and take you a
lamb according to your families, and kill the passover.
'Kill the 'passover'! The passover 'Lamb'! Jesus! Christ
the 'passover' lamb,would be 'killed' on the very day of
the the commemoration of Moses leading the children of
Israel out of 'human' bondage.
Matt:26:2: Ye know that after two days is the feast of
the passover,and the Son of man is betrayed
to be crucified.
Where as Christ would through His sacrifice,
propitiation,[' The act of atoning for sin or wrong
doing, Rom.3:25;1 John2:2;4:10 ] would lead us out
of 'spiritual' bondage into everlasting life!
Luke 1:79: To give light to them that sit in darkness
and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the
way of peace.
Rom. 6:22: But now being made free from sin, and
become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto
holiness, and the end everlasting life.

Isa:53:7: He was oppressed, and he was afflicted,
yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb
to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is
dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.
John1:29: The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto
him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh
away the sin of the world.
1Pe:1:19: But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a
lamb without blemish and without spot:
Ex:12:5: Your lamb shall be without blemish.Moses
under God's direction, prophetically showing that an
'individual' lamb is called for an individual 'Salvation'
for an individual man, woman or child to be 'indivually'
received for their individual and personal Salvation!
John 10:9: I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he
shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
Rev. 3:20: Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any
man hear my voice,and open the door, I will come in to
him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

[2] 'The Blood of the Lamb' :
Ex. 12:7: And they shall take of the blood, and strike it
on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the
houses, wherein they shall eat it.
The entrance way to the homes of the believers of
Jehovah 'covered' by the 'lamb's' blood.
Jesus is the the lamb, whose 'blood' is applied to the
entrance way of our hearts when we receive His 'blood'
atonement and His forgiveness. 1John 1:7.
Rom:5:11: And not only so, but we also joy in God
through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now
received the atonement.
Rev. 1:5 Unto him that loved us, and washed us from
our sins in his own blood. John 1:29
Ex:12:13: And the blood shall be to you for a token upon
thehouses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will
pass over you.
Rev. 20:6: Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the
first resurrection: on such the second death hath no
power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ,
and shall reign with him a thousand years.
God sees the 'Blood' of Christ that has been applied to
us and we have 'no' need to worry about His wrath or
eternal damnation all because of the 'Blood of the Lamb
of God'! And that 'Blood' can 'never' be removed!!
Rev. 6:16: And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall
on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on
the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
Rev. 6:17: For the great day of his wrath is come; and
who shall be able to stand?

Heb:9:19: For when Moses had spoken every precept
to allthe people according to the law, he took the blood
of calves and of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and
* hyssop, andsprinkled both the book, and all the people,
Ex:24:8: And Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on
thepeople, and said, Behold the blood of the covenant,
which theLORD hathmade with you concerning all these
words.
" The blood, and sprinkled it on the people",type and
shadow of the precious Blood of Jesus 'sprinkled',
spiritually on us through His atonemnet.
Heb:9:20: Saying, This is the blood of the testament
which God hath enjoined unto you. Exodus 24:5-8.
Heb:9:21: Moreover he sprinkled with blood both
the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry.
Heb:9:22: And almost all things are by the law
purgedwith blood; and without shedding of blood
is no remission.
___________________________________________
* Hyssop, Exodus 12:22. 'And ye shall take a bunch
of hyssop,'
def. *A European mint with aromatic and pungent
leaves used in perfumeryand as a seasoning in
cookery; often cultivated as a remedy for bruises;
yields hyssop oil.
John 19:29: Now there was set a vessel full of
vinegar: and they filled a spunge with vinegar, and
put it upon *hyssop, and put it to his mouth.
Psalms:51:7: Purge me with * hyssop, and I shall
be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
Prophetic utterance by David foretelling the 'hyssop'
that would be be used on our Lord just before he died
on the cross. The total culmination of God's prophetic
Word instructing Moses to use 'hyssop' to 'sprinkle' the
blood of the lamb on the people!
God's total sovereignty once again shown even when
His Son, the Lord Jesus is ready to 'lay down His Life'
for so great a salvation!
To fulfill His Word from Abel to Moses to Christ in the
plan of God for our blessed redemption!
Heb:12:24: And to Jesus the mediator of the new
covenant, and to the bloodof sprinkling, that speaketh
better things than that of Abel.
1Peter 1:19: But with the precious blood of Christ, as
of a lamb without blemish and without spot:

Moses to Good Friday to Resurrection!
John 19:30: When Jesus therefore had received
the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his
head, and gave up the ghost.
'Finished', Greek word; teleo {tel-eh'-o} to bring to a
close, to finish, to end.
"It is finished or paid" John 19:30 Christ satisfied God's
justice by dying for all to pay for the sins of the elect.
These sins can never be punished again since that would
violate God's justice.
Matt :1:21: And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt
call His name JESUS: for he shall save his people from
their sins.
___________________________________________
After watching a sometimes 'bewidered' and frustrated
portrayal of Moses in this movie, you can see that he
loved God!
He didn't always understand God's commands and
directions, but he was 'obedient' and served God by
child-like 'Faith' instead of trying to figure out 'the
'mysteries of Jehovah!
This Good Friday my family and I are so grateful for
Jesus' supreme sacrifice in God's redemptive plan for
our salvation!
We hope you are too!
And thank God that Jesus, Yeshua, 'He is alive today!
' Who lives in all the hearts of His children, His elect
who are the 'bride, waiting for the soon return of their
Bridegroom!
Matt:28:6: He is not here: for he is risen, as he said.
Come, see the place where the Lord lay.

I'm reminded of that old gospel song that I like to sing
all the time!
" Oh Happy Day! , " Oh Happy Day! "
Oh Happy Day! " O Happy Day!"
When Jesus washed, " When He washed"
Oh when He washed,
" Yes when He washed," Oh When my
Jesus... washed all my sins away! "
" Oh Happy Day" Yes it was a Happy Day! "
Rom. :4:8: Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will
not impute sin.
