Provisions Light, Feeds All in Sight

And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick. And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying, This is a desert place, and the time is now past; send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves victuals. But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart; give ye them to eat. And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and two fishes. He said, Bring them hither to me. And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude. And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full. And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, beside women and children.-Matthew 14:14-21***Moses was an Israelite from the tribe of Levi. However, he was raised by the daughter of Pharaoh, the king of Egypt. When Moses was 80 years old, the Lord God sent Moses and Moses' 83-year-old brother Aaron to speak to Pharaoh and tell him to let the Israelites leave. Initially, Pharaoh refused to permit the enslaved Israelites to leave and go worship the Lord God. However, after the Lord God brought the 10th and final plague upon Pharaoh and Egypt, Pharaoh and the Egyptians were desperate for the Israelites to leave. According to the commands of the Lord God, Moses and Aaron led the Israelites, and those with them, away from Egypt, across the dry bed of the divinely parted Red Sea and into the desert wilderness of Shur. Within 2 months, the cries for food began. The Lord God spoke to Moses and told Moses that he was going to supply the Israelites with bread that he would rain down from heaven. The Lord God also gave Moses instructions for everyone to follow in regards to gathering and preparing the bread, which the Israelites called manna. In the 40th year of their journey to Canaan, the Promised Land, 123-year-old Aaron died and was buried upon Mount Hor, and Moses went upon Mount Nebo. The Lord God showed Moses the Promised Land, and 120-year-old Moses died and was divinely buried. Joshua,  Moses' successor, led the Israelites across the dry bed of the divinely parted Jordan River and onto the land that the Lord God Promised to give to Abraham (Abram the Hebrew), and to Abraham's son Isaac, and to Isaac's youngest fraternal twin son Jacob (Israel), and to their descendants. Shortly thereafter, Joshua and the Israelites celebrated the Passover. The following day, they began eating unleavened bread and the grain growing in their midst. The day after that, manna no longer rained in their camp. Approximately 1,400 years after the Israelites ate manna for the last time, Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was born. Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary, a virgin, and Jesus was born into the tribe of Jacob's 4th born son Judah to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin. Approximately 30 years after Jesus was born to Joseph and Mary, Jesus was baptized in the Jordan River by Mary's relative John the Baptist, from the tribe of Jacob's 3rd born son Levi, the birth tribe of Aaron and Moses. Jesus having prayed, the heavens tearing open, the Holy Spirit descended as a dove and lit upon Jesus. The Lord God in heaven audibly acknowledged his Son Jesus, and the Holy Spirit led Jesus into the desert wilderness. Jesus fasted for 40 days and nights and was tempted. Afterwards, Jesus was tended to by angels, and Jesus went to the area near John the Baptist, and John the Baptist proclaimed Jesus to be the Lamb of God taking away the sin of the world. In Galilee, Jesus told specific Israelite men to follow him, and Jesus began to preach, teach and perform miracles among the Israelites, the treasured and chosen people of the Lord God.  Sometimes Jesus provided those who were hungry with a miraculous supply of food. In one particular lesson, Jesus identified himself as the Bread of Life and said that it was his Father, the Lord God in heaven, who had supplied the Israelite ancestors with manna.-Genesis 11:26-50:26, Exodus 1:1-19:24, Numbers 11:1-35, 20:1-29, 27:12-23, Deuteronomy 8:1-20, 31:1-30, 34:1-12, Joshua 1:1-6:27, Nehemiah 9:1-38, Psalm 78:1-72, 105:1-45, Matthew 1:1-28:20, Mark 1:1-16:20, Luke 1:1-24:53, John 1:1-21:25, Acts 1:1-26
