    Israels Exodus from Egypt and how the fulfillment of Moses law would have made them agreeable to God



The people of Israel fled from Egypt, as best known story, into the desert. After 38 years of errantry they gathered in the fatal Kades (Kadesch) ....

The Amalekites were nomads who attacked the Hebrews at Rephidim (Exodus 17:8-10) in the desert of Sinai during their exodus from Egypt.

Josuah was leader in the war against Amalek (Exodus 17:8) he had ascended the mount Sinai with Moses (24,13) .... After Moses death god's word assigned to him a double task:

      1. to conquer the land Canaan with weapons violence and
      2. to distribute the conquered land among the 9+1/2 tribes...

First the 2 cities Jericho and Hai fell, whereby the might of the devine assistance showed itsself as own palsy as well as the bane of the infringements of the law.

The laws were apparently: The sacrificies (fire-victim, sin-victim (guilt-victim), peace-victim), the cleanliness laws (dishes laws), the holy feasts.

The law had the destination to prepare Israel for the arrival of the Messias.... The meaning of the law must not be over-estimated. Holy Paulus emphasised repeatedly, that the Jews, despite the law, did not attain to the life after the faith, even, after its teaching it was impossible for the law to reach such a goal. It contained namely only commandments , added stern sanctions, but did not give the moral power for fulfillment. Thereby it has in a certain sense the sin even cumulated by increasing on the one hand the recognition of the sin and with it the responsibility and culpability, on the other hand, too, waked the stimulus of the infringment.

The law came from Moses and could be worked out more thoroughly in details. This was, what Jesus, the Messias, who was the logic response to the law, 1300 years later was going to reform and what brought him on the cross by the "defenders of the law". What was the law before Moses should be researched.

That is the previous history before Nebuchadnezzar came, who's life story is the entry into the life story of the 17 prophets in the old testament.

It is the intention of the author to work out when the Jews built the temple in Jerusalem and what was their spiritual life before Nebuchadnezzar destroyed Jerusalem and the temple.
