Exodus 3 - part 2 - Ex. 2:1-10 I AM WOMAN HEAR ME ROAR

In part 2 of lesson 3 we will deal with a very important topic.  Today there are well meaning pseudo scholars teaching Bible lessons on the radio, podcasts, videos on You Tube, etc. and are 1) incorrectly giving meaning to words or verses since they ignore the Hebrew textual context and the Hebrew conceptual meaning of words, and 2) using improper means to force the Bible to say something it does not say so as to agree with the point they are making, and 3) thus resulting in misleading literally thousands of normal everyday believers around the world. 

In lesson 1 we talked about an issue highlighted in the verses below from the King James Version …

Make thee an ark (Borrowed from the ancient Egyptian - H8392 têvâh תֵּבָה) of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch. (Gen 6:14)

And when she could not longer hide him, she took for him an ark (H8392 têvâh תֵּבָה) of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and with pitch, and put the child therein; and she laid it in the flags by the river's brink. (Exo 2:3)

And they shall make an ark (H727 ârôn אָרֹן ) of shittim wood: two cubits and a half shall be the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof.  (Exo 25:10)

We can obviously see in the verses above the two distinct words in the King James in Hebrew that are translated as ARK.  In the first two verses the word ark us used for the ark Noah built and the “basket” or ark Moses was put in by his mother to keep him alive.  Moreover the Hebrew word TEVAH is an Egyptian word brought into the Hebrew.  Like the name Moses.  His name is not Hebrew but Egyptian.  The 3^rd verse is the ark of the covenant. 

Clearly we have two separate words in Hebrew with two distinct conceptual meanings and in the textual context are not related to each other.  And yet there are well meaning Bible teachers who do not have the expertise to work in the Hebrew textual context and not the English textual context.  If they ignore the Hebrew textual context and teach the three arks are related; their lesson might prove to be cool and interesting but a lesson promoting misinterpretation and error. 

In this lesson we will show how a current so called Pre-Trib Rapture scholar ignores the Hebrew textual context and stays in the English ignoring the conceptual meaning of the Hebrew and how it is used in other verses, and to teach that Enoch was RAPTURED.  This teacher goes on to say that even Elijah was raptured.  This probably is a way this teacher wants to show that the Pre-Trip rapture is something even in the Torah and the Prophets. His point is that the Pre-Trib rapture was not something made up by a Scottish charismatic pastor in the late 19th century.  So, he must force the Bible to support his point.  The problem is this “well meaning” teacher is mistakenly leading us into error and does not even know they are misleading many into believing what the Bible does not say.   The issue is not the Pre-Trib rapture, but how this well known so called scholar misuses the Hebrew to force the Bible to say something is does not to support his view of the veracity of the rapture. 

Also, in this lesson we will put the Torah into its historical context in the 15^th century B.C. We will see how those Hebrews coming out of Egypt were hearing explosive ideas as per their culture from God Himself through the pen of Moses.  We will see that the Bible is an ancient source for true Women’s Liberation.  In our culture today there are those women, who may even be Christian, who criticize the word of God as being anti-women or misogynistic.  Once again this shows the major lack in how the church teaches the Bible; the church ignores the historical context of the Bible.  If the church had people properly trained in seminaries and Bible institutions, we’d have a proper understanding that the Bible was written to the Hebrews 3400 years ago and was way ahead of its time then. It is as if the Bible, God’s Torah, was the first document that promoted Women’s Liberation in a Godly sense.  In chapter 1 and 2 of Exodus the theme song for the key characters in these two chapters is the song sung by Helen Reddy, “I Am Woman.” Yes!!  Shiphra, Puah, Yocheved, Miriam, and Pharaoh's daughter - they stand as those made in the image of God and not in the shadow of men and God shows that woman is one the same level as men.  If you recall, man was made out of mud.  But, in the Hebrew, woman was built and constructed almost as if there was a special design.  As soon as SHE was created God looked and finally said that it was VERY GOOD and stopped creating.  Way to go girls!!
