Memories to Teach Your Faith to Speak

Then came Amalek, and fought with Israel in Rephidim. And Moses said unto Joshua, Choose us out men, and go out, fight with Amalek: tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of God in mine hand. So Joshua did as Moses had said to him, and fought with Amalek: and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill. And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed: and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed. But Moses' hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun. And Joshua discomfited Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword. And the LORD said unto Moses, Write this for a memorial in a book, and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua: for I will utterly put out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven. And Moses built an altar, and called the name of it Jehovah-nissi: for he said, Because the LORD hath sworn that the LORD will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.-Exodus 17:8-16***After the Lord God brought the 10th and final plague upon Egypt, and Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, Pharaoh told Moses and Moses' older brother Aaron to get the Israelites and their animals and go serve the Lord God. After the Israelites asked for and received an abundance of valuable goods, fulfilling the words that the Lord God spoke to their ancestor Abraham (Abram the Hebrew) over 600 years earlier, Moses and Aaron led the Israelites,  and those with them, away from Egypt. The Lord God did not lead the Israelites through the nearby region of enemy Philistines, thereby 

preventing the chance that the Israelites would become regretful and return to Egyptian slavery. At the Red Sea, the Lord God commanded Moses to speak to the Israelites and lift his rod and stretch his hands. The Lord God caused the Red Sea to part, and the Israelites walked across. The Egyptians pursuing the Israelites drowned. In the desert wilderness of Shur, turmoil occurred when there was no water. In Marah the water was bitter. In the desert wilderness of Sin, the Israelites began wondering why they had not died in Egypt. In Rephidim, the Israelites complained, and the Amalekites attacked. One group of Amalekites were descendants of Abraham's grandson Esau (Edom) and Adah, their son Eliphaz and his concubine Timna, and Eliphaz and Timna's son Amalek. The Israelites descended from Esau's younger fraternal twin brother Jacob (Israel). During the 40th year of their journey to Canaan, the Promised Land, 123-year-old Aaron died 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, was from the tribe of Ephraim, descended from Jacob and his 2nd wife Rachel, their firstborn son Joseph and his wife Asenath, and Joseph and Asenath's 2nd born son Ephraim, whom Jacob proclaimed to be his own son. Joshua led the Israelites across the divinely parted Jordan River and onto the land that the Lord God promised to give to Jacob, and to Jacob's father Isaac, and to Isaac's father Abraham, and to their descendants. Over 1,300 years after 110-year-old Joshua died and was buried in his tribe's portion of the Promised Land, 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 Judah to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin.-Genesis 11:26-50:26, Exodus, Numbers 20:1-29, 27:12-23, Deuteronomy 25:1-19, 31:1-30, 32:44-52, 34:1-12, Joshua 1:1-4:24, 23:1-24:33, Judges 1:1-2:23, 1 Samuel 1:1-3:21, 8:1-31:13, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26
