Core Theme

This content explores the extensive parallels between Moses and Jesus in the Old and New Testaments, arguing that Moses serves as a significant "type" or foreshadowing of Christ. The analysis highlights how Moses's life, actions, and roles prefigure Jesus's identity, mission, and redemptive work.

have you ever really looked at Moses

specifically studying his life story as

it relates to him being a type of Christ

I don't know if you've ever really done

that like intent fully thoughtfully just

how is he a type of Christ well that

that's what we're gonna be doing tonight

but first I want to clear up a bit of

confusion because this is part ten in in

so far 10 part series well God more

later but to Jesus in the Old Testament

and some people may not realize it when

I say he's a type of Christ I don't mean

he's a Christ the word type just means

he's like a foreshadowing he represents

the kind of person Jesus would be it's

it's just that there's a comparison it's

like he's a metaphor like a living

metaphor for what Jesus would be like

but there's more to that and if anyone

you know is having questions about what

does it mean that Moses is a type of

Christ and just go to the first video in

the series Jesus in the Old Testament

and you can see how to find you this in

the Old Testament you can see it all there

there

but right now we're gonna dig in Jesus

and Moses how are they related I found

there were more connections I think

between these two then I had originally

realized as I was just studying and

preparing and I'll just say this up

front for the most part my study in prep

has pretty much been just me going off

of what I've read and knowing the

Scriptures and reading through the story

of Moses going this seems like a

connection this seems like a connection

I I after I was done preparing the study

I went and I found another pastors list

of ways in which Moses was a type and I

think I added one more to my list from

his list that I thought who that seems

really good I don't say this to be like

oh my gosh you're still amazing you can

that's not my point at all my point is

with just the text of Scripture you can

find these things that's the point with

just reading it and going hmm I know

Jesus and I know who he was and what he

did let me look at Moses who he was and

what he didn't see the connections it's

just an exciting fun way to study the

scriptures so here we go let's start

chronologically because in the infancy

of Moses we already have a connection

between him and Jesus and we don't

really we don't have to read very far to

find parallels so in Exodus 1 verse 22

here's the story of Moses birth

this is then Pharaoh commanded all those

people every son that is born to the

Hebrews you shall cast into the Nile but

you shall let every daughter live this

is the environment to which Moses was

born he's born at this time where

Pharaoh's like and has anxiety about how

many Hebrews are being born and so he's

like let's kill off the men let's keep

the females and then we can reduce the

power of their numbers and so Exodus 2

verse 2 speaking of his mother

it says the woman conceived and bore a

son and when she saw that he was a fine

child she hid him three months when she

could hide him no longer she took him

for a bask they not took him for a

basket but she took for him a basket

which is very different made of

bulrushes and daubed it with bitumen and

pitch she put the child in it and placed

it among the reeds by the riverbank and

his sister stood at a distance to know

what would be done to him now the

daughter of Pharaoh came down to bathe

at the river while her young women

walked beside the river she saw the

basket among the reeds and sent her

servant women woman and she took it when

she opened it she saw the child and

behold the baby was crying she took pity

on him and said this is one of the

Hebrews children and so she takes him in

and raises him in Pharaoh's home so here

he is under the shadow of this attack

from this non-jewish king who's trying

to kill or in eradicating fence and then

or Hebrew infants and then he's sort of

whisked away and brought into Pharaoh's

household and raised there in safety in

the middle of this trouble then we get

to Matthew Matthew chapter 2 we read

about the story of Jesus and how when he

was born there was a similar problem you

already probably know this but Matthew 2

let's just read the text Matthew to 12

and being warned in a dream not to

return to Herod they departed to their

own country by another way that would be

the the wise men or the Magi verse 13

now when they had departed behold an

angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in

a dream and said rise take the child and

his mother and flee to Egypt and remain

there until I tell you for Herod is

about to search for the child to destroy

him and he he rose and took the child

and his mother by night and departed for

Egypt and remained there until the death

of Herod this was to fulfill what the

Lord had spoken by the prophet out of Egypt

Egypt

my son I'll come back to that in a

minute then Herod when he saw that he

had been tricked by the wise men became

furious and he sent and killed all the

male children in Bethlehem and in all

that region who were two years old and

under according to the time he had

ascertained from the wise men so Moses

is hunted by Gentile King Jesus is

hunted by Herod who is effectively he

was not really Jewish at least that was

the discussion that the Jews were having

is even really a Jewish he gives more of

a Roman King before the Jews he's hunted

yet he survives the massacre of infants

just as Moses survived the massacre of

these infants and then Moses what does

he do he survives by going deeper into

Egypt he's raised in Pharaoh's household

Jesus where does he go into Egypt in

fact Matthew to show another theme we

see in Scripture in Hosea 11:1 Matthew

quotes Hosea 11:1 by saying out of Egypt

I have called my son a passage that on

the surface looks like it's actually

about Israel not about Jesus or Messiah

but what we see when we zoom out of the

Bible we see this whole going into Egypt

coming out of Egypt theme in the

scriptures Moses does it he goes into

Egypt he comes out then he goes back in

and he comes back out Israel they go

into Egypt they come back out Abraham

did you know Abraham in his life he went

into Egypt came back out we see Christ

now going into Egypt and coming back out

so we're seeing that there's a theme a

thematic element that Matthews pointing

out here okay so that's just the infancy

now let's look at his first coming

did you know Moses kind of had two times

where he showed up to the people of

Israel we can read about this in the

book of Acts actually so Acts chapter

seven the parallel passage is Ezekiel 2

or excuse me Exodus 2 we'll come to that

in a minute but in acts 7 remember this

is that passage I gave you for homework

a couple times acts 7 because acts 7 is

kind of where Stephen he unpacks a bunch

of typology of Christ in the Old

Testament so it's a New Testament

commentary of typology pretty neat stuff

but in Acts 723 it speaks about Moses

and it says when he was 40 years old it

came into his heart to visit his

brothers the children of Israel and I've

underlined a word in my my notes visit visit

visit

remember that word he visited the

children of Israel and seeing one of

them being wronged he defended the

oppressed man and avenged him by

striking down the Egyptian this Egyptian

was abusing and hurting harming somehow

this this Hebrew slave Moses killed the

Egyptian he supposed that his brothers

would understand that God was giving

them salvation by his hand but they did

not understand sound familiar

they should have understood that this

was salvation coming by the hand of

Moses just as they should have

understood it was by Jesus that

salvation was coming but they do not

understand on the following day he

appeared to them as they were quarreling

and tried to reconcile them saying men

you are brothers why do you wrong each

other so he's trying to bring unity to

them I was trying to gather the people

together but the man who was wronging

his neighbor thrust him aside saying who

made you a ruler and judge over us do

you want to kill me as you killed the

Egyptian yesterday and there's retort at

this retort Moses fled and became an

exile in the land of Midian where he

became the father of two sons so what

I'm pointing out here is this Moses he

he didn't just come when he was old you

know from the wilderness to say hey

Egypt you know let my people go there

was an initial coming a first coming and

it's recorded there and is also recorded

in Exodus 2 where Moses shows up and

he's rejected by the Israeli the

Israelites he's rejected by the Jewish

people so this is connected I think to

Jesus I'll give you an example Luke

nineteen forty four it says Jesus

pronouncing judgment under on Jerusalem

and he tells them why he says because

you did not know the time of your

visitation so Moses came and visited the

people he wasn't hanging with the slaves

he's in the house of Pharaoh

comes down visits the people defends one

of them this is symbolic of him bringing

them Liberty they don't recognize it

they attack they come against him and as

we read about this in Exodus 2 it has

one more element to this it says um

Moses was afraid and thought surely this

thing is known because the Hebrews were

talking about it they were gossiping

about it basically and in Exodus 215 it

says when Pharaoh heard of it and he

finds out about what Moses did he sought

to kill Moses but Moses fled from

Pharaoh and stayed in the land of Midian

and he sat down by a well we'll come

back to that in just a moment

but rejection by the Israelites is a

theme in a life of Moses how would you

like rejection to be a theme in your

life well maybe you're like Jesus you

know but in this case it really is is a

theme in Moses's life multiple times the

Israel Israelites reject him they reject

him in his first coming but then even

later on they try to kill him when

they're like this ain't working out

let's kill Moses like their murmuring

and grumbling and plotting to kill him

this directly parallels Jesus when they

murmured and grumbled and tried to kill

him in the Gospels we read about this

other leaders tried to replace him did

you do did you notice that with Moses

right there's a time where he goes up on

the mountain and they say Aaron you'll

be the new Moses guy right we'll make

this calf out of gold we'll like say

that's Yahweh they actually call the

calf Yahweh right and then and they're

like we'll replace Moses with Aaron

we'll replace Yahweh with this golden

calf were good they tried to replace him

all right this is ironic to me because

there are there's a theme here that as

Moses couldn't be replaced by Aaron so

Jesus can't be replaced by the

priesthood Aaron is the the ultimate

symbol of the priesthood because it's

from his line that all the priests come

right all the ironic the high priests

they all come from him

so they they can't replace Jesus that's

the theme I see they're the sons of

korah who were also priests the sons of

Korah they try to lead a rebellion

against him and then God struck them

down you cannot take his place

and so Jesus you can't take his place he

is the ultimate one now after his

initial rejection by the the Israelites

Moses goes out into the land of Midian

which is ultimately Gentile land right

non Jewish land as pretty much

everywhere was except for where the Jews

happen to be at that exact moment

so Exodus 2:15 let's read this again

I'll read through verse 22 when Pharaoh

heard of it he sought to kill Moses but

Moses fled from Pharaoh and stayed in

the land of Midian and he sat down by a

well now the priest of Midian had seven

daughters and they came and drew water

and filled the troughs to water their

flock the Shepherd's came and drove them

away but Moses stood up and saved them

and watered their flock

when they came home to their father rule

he said how is it that you've come home

so soon today they said an Egyptian

delivered us out of the hand of the

Shepherd's and even drew water for us

and watered the flock he said to his

daughters then where is he

I keep in mind he's got seven daughters

so like if I've learned anything from

Alison making me watch Pride and

Prejudice thank you I almost forgot the

name of it she would've killed me from

watching Pride and prizes thousand is

that when you have lots of daughters you

want to marry them off as quickly as

possible so he's got seven daughters

he's like where's that man bring him

over here

so he's like where is he why have you

left the minute call him that he may eat

bread and Moses was content to dwell

with the man and he gave Moses his

daughter Zipporah she gave birth to a

son and he called his name Gershom for

he said I have been a sojourner in a

foreign land

so Moses in his time where he's he's

rejected by Israel in his first coming

right he's rejected he goes out and he's

with the Gentiles and he makes a life

amongst the Gentiles interesting in he

drives out the bad Shepherds and he

gives water to the flock that's his

initial moment there's not much more we

know about his whole time there it's

like 40 years yeah this is what he did

you know so he becomes a shepherd he

drives out the bad Shepherds and he

gives water to the flock in Matthew 23

13 Jesus says woe to you scribes and

Pharisees hypocrites you shut the

kingdom of heaven in people's faces for

you neither enter yourselves nor allow

those who would enter to go in these

Shepherds came and they wouldn't let the

flocks get the water Moses comes and he

goes I get out of here I will bring

water to the flock so Jesus shows up and

he's in a situation where the Shepherd's

of Israel are not giving the water to

the people and he says ah and he dry he

drives at them or drives them out so to

speak even literally some of them out of

the temple and he says then come and I

Jesus speaking and he said to me it is

done I am the Alpha and the Omega the

beginning in the end to the thirsty I

will give from the spring of the water

of life without payment without payment

in revelation 22:17

it says the spirit and the bride say

come and let the one who hears say come

and let the one who is thirsty come and

the one who desires take the water of

life without price now you might be like

Mike this is kind of a weak connection

he gave water to the flocks stick with

me stick with me because I won't make it

stronger I'll make it stronger so it's

about to drink some milk and get even

stronger but follow with me here in John

7:37 Jesus gives us another another

statement about the whole water thing so

john 7:37 on the last day of the feast

this would be the Feast of Tabernacles

that great day Jesus stood up and cried

out if anyone thirsts let him come to me

and drink whoever believes in me as the

scripture has said out of his heart will

flow rivers of living water now this is

interesting this great day of the feast

what you may not know just by reading

the text is the Jewish people tends to

add on extra traditions onto the feasts

which is fine they're not as traditions

aren't necessarily bad just don't call

them the commandments of God when you

have your traditions have them and know

their traditions but they have their

traditions and one of the traditions is

the priest every day of this feast he

goes down he's a golden pitcher and he

dips it into the the stream of Salome is

it or is it no saloa because Salome is a

pool so solo I he dips into the stream

of solo and then he brings it up and He

pours it out up at the temple that's

what he does every day he pours it out

so the priest would do this and then on

the last day there would be the biggest

hoopla about this event and and this is

the day where Jesus stands up and he

cries out if anyone thirsts let him come

to me and drink he's like saying I'm the

one who's gonna give you the living

water I'm the one who's gonna provide

you with the water now what's

interesting is the priest while he's

pouring this water and while they're

marching up they would sing songs one of

the songs they would sing as Isaiah 12:3

they would sing with joy you will draw

water from the wells of salvation so

here I'm not connecting so much Moses

and Jesus here's I'm just going to be in

Jesus and the concept of water and Jesus

is the fulfillment of God providing

water for his people and he clearly says

it in the New Testament I'm gonna give

you living water clearly declares it in

Revelation as well as here in John now

you might think that's a bit of a

Moses gave them water at other times too

and he was known for bringing forth

water right he brings forth water from

the rock multiple times he brings water

to these Shepherds but my point here is

who did he give water to first the Jews

or non-jews Gentiles this is interesting

just like how Joseph ended up helping

the Gentiles and then the Jews now the

gospel went out Jew first then Gentile

but it was rejected largely by the

Jewish people now a massive group of

Gentiles have been saved and put their

faith in Christ but there's yet a time

coming when the deliverance will come to

the Jewish people and there will be a

Jewish revival at least that's my

understanding of prophecy

he also Moses while he goes out there he

marries a Gentile bride Zipporah he

marries a Gentile bride kind of like

Joseph we see a theme here so in Exodus

221 I'll read it to again and Moses was

content to dwell with the man and he

gave Moses his daughter Zipporah then

acts 18:6

we read the following and when they

opposed and reviled him this is speaking

of Paul he goes he shook out his

garments and said to them your blood be

upon your own heads I'm innocent from

now on I will go to the Gentiles now we

have to understand about acts 18:6 is it

might not it may just seem like a random

verse but this is like a thematic theme

I guess it's just a theme because the

thematic theme would just be a

redundancy but it's a theme in the book

of Acts where where the gospel goes to

the Jew first and slowly it's going more

and more to the Gentiles as the Jews

reject and persecute and so acts 18:6 is

a kind of a turning point in the book in

a big way and so my point here is the

the story of the message of Jesus going

out and being received by the Gentiles

rejected by the Jews well that's exactly

what happened to Moses he goes out he

marries a Gentile bride very interesting

if you can remember we did this last

week but in Luke chapter 4 or might even

two weeks ago Jesus talks about he's in

Nazareth his hometown and he talks about

how in the Old Testament there was two

examples Elijah and Elijah and how

Elijah how there were lots of widows in

Elijah's time but he only helped this

one particular widow who was a Gentile

and how in Elijah's time there were lots

of lepers but he only helped one leper

and it was a Gentile and then they were

like we're gonna kill you for saying that

that

of course Jesus is just doing a Bible

study he's just telling them this is

what it says in the text so again we

have a theme about the Gentiles getting

this message now the second time Moses

comes he is received he is received and

in the second coming when he shows up

he's coming to draw his people out of

Egypt and he comes with plagues the ten

plagues on Egypt now these these plagues

are all really into a whole study easily

on just the ten plagues and talk about

how they relate to different Egyptian

deities like God was showing that he's

got the power and they don't kind of thing

thing

but when we read in the Bible about

Jesus's second coming in the book of

Revelation we see a lot of parallels

between that and the Exodus God's coming

to deliver his people he brings judgment

we'll come back to this later about how

revelation connects specifically Jesus

and Moses not only towards the end when

I bring in some other New Testament

passages but what's interesting about

the plagues and revelation is this the

ten plagues on Egypt some of them fell

on everybody and and as they continued

to get worse and worse they started to

only fall on to the Egyptians not the

Israelis not the Jews so it is with the

book of Revelation is you read about the

things god seals his people and then the

plague or the locusts or whatever it is

it just doesn't bother God's people it

only bothers the unsaved or the unsealed

okay then we come to what I think is a

wrongly mocked passage of Scripture and

it's numbers 12 3 this is where Moses it

said was extremely humble and people

like to point out that Moses wrote

number is 12 3 but I'd imagine only a

really humble guy could say this about

himself or a really arrogant guy who's lying

lying

but numbers 12 3 says now the man Moses

was a very meek or very humble more than

all people who were on face of the earth

now this is where I've heard pastors

teach this passage numbers and they come

to this and they mock it and move on

like it's ok to mock what the Bible says

and I'm like our youth are you crazy

like like just put a lightning rod on

top of your church and then do it

but no I instead I read it and I thought

no there's got to be a

legitimate reason why it says this and

as I thought about the life of Moses

there's one thing I notice about him

that would make him in a measurable way

the humblest guy around and that is that

he was he was part of the royal family

of Pharaoh and he gave that up to be

identified with the slaves he could have

just kept his mouth shut

he was part of Pharaoh's family he

looked Egyptian he talked to gyptian and

he could have just kept that and his

privilege and instead he identifies

himself with his people and because of

this he is cast out he loses everything

they try to kill him that's that's the

humility that's exampled and you might

be like well that's interesting Mike but

I would draw your attention into

Philippians 2 when it tells us why Jesus

was so humble it says have this mind

among yourselves which is yours in

Christ Jesus who though he was in the

form of God did not count equality with

God a thing to be grasped but emptied

himself taking the form of a servants

being born in the likeness of men and

being found in human form he humbled

himself by becoming obedient to the

point of death even the death even death

on a cross

so Moses's humility is giving up his

royal place in the house of Pharaoh

which is kind of a big deal and then

Jesus's humility is giving up heaven

giving up his his position his rightful

position and coming as a servant as a

human I see that connection now the New

Testament actually gives us this

interpretation as well so let me read to

you Hebrews 11 that I think ties Jesus

and Moses together in the same way that

I'm doing so Hebrews 11 24 by faith

Moses when he was grown up refused to be

called the son of Pharaoh's daughter

refused to be called the son of

Pharaoh's daughter choosing rather to be

mistreated with the people of God than

to enjoy the fleeting pleasures of sin

he considered and this phrase is really

interesting he considered the reproach

of Christ greater wealth than the

treasures of Egypt for he was looking to

the reward by faith he left Egypt not of

not being afraid of the anger of the

King for he endured as seeing him who is

invisible I think that whole caught that

whole statement there is all just

dripping with typology but let me just

point out a couple little things it says

here that Moses considered the reproach

of Christ greater than

the wealth of Egypt it's not interesting

you're like well how much did Moses know

about Christ may I say this this path

this passage may not be about how much

Moses knew about Messiah it may be that

Moses when he left Pharaoh and identify

with the people of God to be part of

what God was doing this is the reproach

of Christ because Jesus he leaves the

father's side he comes down he lives as

a human he becomes reproached right it's

typologically connected to Jesus Christ

so it's not that I think Moses had like

all this secret information I think he

had the information we see in in in the

text of the Old Testament all these

types and pictures and he some ideas

about the Messiah he prophesized

specifically I think about Messiah

talk about that later but yeah

interesting stuff so him leaving

Pharaohs the position of Pharaohs

household is connected to Jesus

leaving heaven alright Moses another

connection Moses brought in the Covenant

of the law the Covenant of the law and

we read about this in Exodus 24 so I'll

read Exodus 24 verse 6 through 8 here

and Moses took half of the blood

speaking of this blood sacrifice and put

it in basins and half of the bloody

through against the altar then he took

the book of the Covenant and read it in

the hearing of the people and they said

all that the Lord has spoken we will do

and we will be obedient and Moses took

the blood and threw it on the people and

said Behold the blood of the Covenant

that the Lord has made with you in

accordance with all these words Moses

brings them a covenant in the Covenant

is the law of Moses you obey this law

God will bless you you disobey God will

wet curse you blessings and curses

blessings for obedience curses for

disobedience this is a performance-based

covenant right you better do it and

you'll live you don't do it and you die

in Romans 10 5 the New Testament talks

about this this is for Moses writes

about the righteousness that is based on

the law performance that the person who

does the commandments shall live by them

that's a quote from Leviticus if you do

this you'll live if you don't do it you die

but the problem is the people of Israel

failed and they failed royally as you

would and as I would not because they're

worse but because they're pretty much

people normal people Israel is a group

of people that God called he's not

because you were greater but because I

wanted to show myself powerful right

they're just the same kind of people as

you me especially if you're actually

Jewish then it's especially like u-kiss

you might alright sorry I entertain

myself I just wish it can entertain

someone else so the problem is they

failed so in it so Moses has a sidekick

so to speak Joshua right Joshua

travelled with him for many years and

then after Moses dies Joshua takes over

and then in the book of Joshua Joshua

know in other words as I witness to the

law being given

he's eyewitness to the people promising

to obey it he's eyewitness to what

happened next and then finally at the

end he says this in Joshua 24 19 but

Joshua said to the people you are not

able to serve the Lord for he is a holy

God he is a jealous God and he will not

forgive your transgressions or your sins

if you forsake the Lord and serve

foreign gods then he will turn and do

you harm and consume you after having

done you good and the people said to

Joshua no but we will serve the Lord I

mean Joshua just straight up goes like

no you won't and they all we will and he

goes you're not gonna and yeah we will

and he goes all right okay you made the

commitment you made the deal so we get

the problem of the Old Covenant the

problem of the Old Covenant isn't that

anything's wrong with the law of the Old

Testament it's that people can't perform

it because something's wrong with us

like I'm a sinner why do I know what's

good and I don't do it and then when I

have God show me what's good and he

makes the standards even higher than

what I thought they were it just points

it out even more how bad I am

and hello that is the point of the law

it's our leap it's our schoolmaster our

tutor to drive us to Christ to say hey

you need Jesus sometimes you teach

people by letting them fail you just

allow them to go ahead and try it on

your own okay now are you willing to

accept help that's what the laws meant

to give us that so Jesus just like Moses

brought in the law that brought death

Jesus brings in the New Covenant so we

actually read about there's there's this

promise about a new

in the Old Testament we read about it in

Jeremiah 31 it's really the one place

where God clearly says there is a

another covenant coming long after the

Covenant of Moses and it's better than

the Covenant of the law so Jeremiah

31:31 he says behold the days are coming

declares the Lord when I will make a new

covenant with the house of Israel in the

house of Judah not like the covenant

that i made with their fathers on the

day when i took them by the hand to

bring them out of the land of Egypt my

covenant that they broke though I was

their husband declares the Lord for this

is the Covenant that I will make with

the house of Israel after those days

declares the Lord I will put my law

within them now written on tablets read

obey but written inside of you and will

no longer or and I will write it on

their hearts I will be their God and

they shall be my people and no longer

shall each one teach his neighbor and

each his brother saying know the Lord

for they shall all know me from the

least of them to the greatest declares

the Lord for I will forgive their

iniquity and I will remember their sin

no more so this is this new covenant

isn't a obey and you'll live it's I'm

gonna renew you I'm gonna refresh you

I'm gonna put goodness my law inside of

you I'll forgive your sins and I don't

remember them anymore that's my kind of

covenant no it's okay like that works

for me Jesus shows up you think of this

context now Moses gives a law they fail

Jeremiah prophesied a new law Jesus

shows up and in Luke 22 22 himself a

Passover he takes the cup it says

likewise the cup after they had eaten

saying this cup that is poured out for

you is the New Covenant in my blood

Jesus straight up says my blood that's

the new covenant that's the new thing

because you failed the old just this

beautiful beautiful parallels that are

there in 2nd Corinthians 3:6 it says

that God has made us sufficient to be

ministers of a new covenant not of the

letter but of the spirit for the letter

kills but the Spirit gives life now this

is one of those verses I hear have used

all the time whenever someone doesn't

like rules they go with a letter kills

I'll be like dude that's about the Old

Testament law killing you because you

don't obey it not because something's

wrong with it right the letter kills

it's like

right tickets and the letter kills does

that make cops bad or speeders bet you

know speeders is that a term speedsters

so this is this is a the letter being

the law but this but Christ he's gonna

the spirits gonna give us life and then

Hebrews 8:6 it also connects Moses and

Jesus connecting with the covenants as

well it says but as it is Christ has

obtained a ministry that is much more

excellent than the old as the Covenant

he mediates is better since it is

enacted on better promises why are they

better promises well what promise do you

want obey and live disobey and die or I

will forgive you and wash you and I will

change you from the inside out like I

know which one I think is better and

that's what Hebrews is saying it's a

better covenant because it it meets the

needs of a sinner to bring us salvation

so obviously there's a lot more we could

talk about with the law and how the law

represents Christ or how Christ I should

say fulfills the law but we'll move

forward one of the things you'll notice

about Israel is I was just kind of like

serving in my head the story of the

exodus is that Israel like they get

ransomed and rescued out of Egypt -

brought out of Egypt but what do they do

to make it happen nothing like they

don't fight the Egyptians they don't

plot and plan if anything they make it

harder they do nothing to get out of

this bondage and in that I see Christ

our Savior he comes and he delivers us

and we do nothing to receive this except

to trust in him that's all we do is

believe in fact you could say the

Passover they offered the one thing that

they maybe did in all of the ten plagues

was they had one offering of a Passover

lamb of a lamb right the whole

unleavened and all the holes series of

events that took place for the Passover

which maybe maybe I'll talk about that

by itself one day because it's so

involved but they just do this one thing

they offer this one lamb and yet it's

then a substitute instead of their

firstborn they offer this meaning that

there's like a sense in which a

firstborn is offered a substitute is

given so really I see that connected to

Jesus obviously Jesus says this is the

Covenant the new

covenant as they're celebrating that

exact meal that Passover in John 6:29

Jesus says this is the work of God that

you believe in the one whom he has sent

what do I have to do he goes I believe

this but that's not even work he's like

yeah that's right I'm gonna do it all

just you just believe so in Exodus 15 we

have the song of Moses this is this

really interesting passage because it's

his song it's his like official song

like he had a one-hitter one one-hit-wonder

one-hit-wonder

moses was he kept the one song he wrote

as well but but yeah so he had his his

moment his his spotlight time and that

was the song of Moses in Exodus 15 but

in this he recounts the story of the

exodus of them leaving Egypt and the way

he describes it is really interesting it

says in verse 13 you have led in your

steadfast love the people whom you have

redeemed you have guided them by your

strength to your holy abode he talks

about how God has redeemed Israel and

this literally means to purchase back I

bought you back that's the idea and to

me this is a kind of a question mark

because you're like how exactly did he

buy them when you read the story of the

Exodus it's like why does he describe it

in these terms and I think the reason is

because Jesus redeems us so moses speaks

of this redemption price ultimately

fulfills it Titus 2:14 it says who gave

himself to redeem us from all

lawlessness and to purify for himself a

special people for his own possession

who were zealous for good works

so we're redeemed by him then we have um

Moses's function as an intercessor Moses

interceded for the people frequently

like on a regular basis this seems to happen

happen

and what I mean by intercede is this

God's like I'm going to destroy them and

they're like deserving it that's their

part right and then Moses gets between

the two and he goes God please have

mercy upon them and he intercedes he

like his prayers and his presence stops

God from judging the people now outside

of Jesus you go how do you explain that

right but when in light of Christ it

makes total sense so here's an example and

and

sinai ten minutes after they leave Egypt

God's about to kill them I'm

exaggerating but yes in Exodus 30 to 30

we read about it it says the next day

Moses said to the people you have sinned

a great sin now I will go up to the Lord

up up the mountain to Lourdes perhaps I

can make and listen to what he says

perhaps I can make atonement for your sin

sin

perhaps I can do something that will

that will could reconnect you to God and

deal with your sin so Moses returned to

the Lord and said alas this people has

send a great sin they have made for

themselves gods of gold but now if you

will forgive their sin but if not please

blot me out of your book that you have

written and this is a really bold and

shocking thing to hear Moses say now

later Moses is like I hate these people

that's at least that seems to be the

that seems to be the vibe he could but

at the moment he's like very much like

God wiped me out - if you're gonna blot

them out blot me out - now does Moses do

anything to make atonement all he does

is offer himself with them judge me -

then and God responds by redirecting you

change almost changes the subject but he

does not judge the people but I feel as

though God has painted the picture

that's meant to represent Jesus as our

intercessor Moses is just meant to

represent it this kind of thing happens

repeatedly these sort of replacements

right where where the lamb is offered

instead the firstborn the RAM is offered

instead of Isaac there's this

replacement - picture Christ as the one

who goes in our place to suffer and die

for us there's more information on the

same story in Deuteronomy 9 so in

Deuteronomy 9 we hear a little more

details this is when he's recounting

what happened when he went up the

mountain and he says then I lay

prostrate before the Lord as before 40

days and 40 nights I ate I neither ate

bread nor drink water because of all the

sin that you had committed so he

apparently was fasting for a long time

and he and it's interesting he says why

because I didn't eat or drink because of

the sin you had committed but that was

the reason for his fasting was there sin

he fasted Moses fast for someone else's

sin issues

that's just he's putting himself in

between them he's interceding for them

right in doing what was evil on the side

of the Lord to provoke him to anger for

I was afraid of the anger and hot

displeasure that the Lord bore against

you so that he was ready to destroy you

but the Lord listened to me that time

also and God listened to him so that

didn't happen and I I give this to Jesus

he also fasted right Jesus fasts and

you're like why did Jesus fast well he

fasted for you he fasted is part of the

whole this seems the fasting of Christ

seems to be not only him facing

temptation but him part of his suffering

and part of him connecting even him and

Moses in this sort of for our sins

nature of his fasting I think it's very

interesting now some time later Israel

marches and they travel I think it was

eleven days to get up to the front of

the promised land they get there the

promised land is before them and they

send out spies and they hear a report

that there's giant grapes but there's

also giant guys and we don't like it so

we don't want to go in Moses you tricked

us you brought out here to kill us

brought us out here to kill us and they

they don't believe so they're refused

into the land we read about this in

numbers 11 in numbers of summe numbers

14 verse 11 and the Lord said to Moses

how long will this people despise me how

long will they not believe in me he

straight-up calls it out the problem

with you not entering the promised land

is you don't believe me you don't

believe in me

in spite of all the signs that I've done

among them I will strike them with the

pestilence and disinherit them and I

will make of you a nation greater and

mightier than they okay so once again

now they're in front of the promised

land God's like I'm gonna kill them all

and Moses I can make kids through you

generations later they'll be a nation

better than these guys now did God

intend to do that no I think he's trying

to draw a picture for us because the

next thing it happens verse 13 it says

but Moses said to the Lord then the

Egyptians and he goes on he's like then

the Egyptians are gonna think that

you're not true to your word and so he

appeals to God's own glory God in other

words God's promise he's like God don't

save them because how good they are

saving because you promised so this is

our salvation being based on promise not

upon our goodness and then verse 17 and

now please let the power of the

be great as you have promised saying the

Lord is slow to anger and abounding in

steadfast love forgiving iniquity and

transgression but he will by no means

clear the guilty visiting the iniquity

of the father's on the children to the

third and fourth generation he's

repeating God's words back to God about

God's character

God you are forgiving so then verse 19

please pardon the iniquity of this

people according to the greatness of

your steadfast love just as you have

forgiven this people from Egypt until

now then the Lord said I have pardoned

according to your word I almost see a

connection here between the fact that

Jesus it says all judgment was given to

the son and Jesus comes and goes I

condemn no one right and then he becomes

the one who if you come to him if you

receive him you will be forgiven really

interesting interesting stuff um so

Moses as intercessor this is a repeated

theme most life of course Jesus our

ultimate intercessor and then Moses is

unique relationship with God in numbers

12 we read about how Aaron and Miriam

decided that they were just as good as

Moe and they wanted Moe Authority he

wanted Moe attention I'm glad you like that

that

so in numbers 12 6 God comes and he's

like who do you think you are because

they're like Moses who using you are so

God tells Aaron and Miriam who do you

think you are and he says in numbers 12

6 hear my words if there's a prophet

among you I the Lord make myself known

to him in a vision I speak with him in a

dream meaning not clearly not so with my

servant Moses he is faithful in all my

house that's actually quoted in Hebrews

3 later about Jesus with him I speak

mouth to mouth clearly and not in

riddles and he be holds the form of the

Lord why then were you not afraid to

speak against my servant Moses God is

saying with Moses I have a unique

relationship different even than the

prophets even than the prophets this

thing with Moses is unique and Christ

comes and he like Moses has a unique

relationship with God even escalated

above and beyond that of Moses because

he says that he came from the Father and

he's going back to the Father and he

speaks the things which he heard with

the father so he's speaking and he has

in other words more information and

clearer knowledge than even the prophets

that's the connection between him and

Jesus there there's a lot of verses that

where Jesus makes that point but the

point again Jesus just has a greater

relationship with the father and he

makes him known now remember this Moses

right this guy he's he's much greater

he's greater in a sense than the

prophets God's connection in

communication with him but then in

Matthew 17 we have an event the one time

in Jesus's earthly life where Moses

shows up and we got Moses and Jesus in

the same space and it's in the

Transfiguration account Matthew 17 I'll

read it to you this is after six days

Jesus took with him Peter and James and

John his brother and led them up to a

high mountain by themselves such as

Peter James John and Jesus and he was

transfigured before them and his face

shone like the Sun and his clothes

became white as light and behold there

appeared that to them Moses and Elijah

talking with him talking with Jesus and

Peter said to Jesus Lord it's good that

we are here if you wish I will make

three tents here one for you and one for

Moses and one for Elijah

now here's Jesus and Moses analyzer all

together and remember how important

Moses is verse 5 he was still speaking

when behold a bright cloud overshadowed

them and a voice from the cloud said

this is my beloved son with whom I am

well pleased listen to him he's got

Moses and Elijah there and there and

they're being told listen to Jesus when

the disciples heard this they fell on

their faces and were terrified but Jesus

came and touched them saying rise and

have no fear and when they lifted up

their eyes they saw no one but Jesus

only it's now why were Moses and Elijah

there well the only thing we can see

clearly in the text is Moses and Elijah

are brought there to show that Jesus is

more important to show that Jesus is to

be listened to above and beyond them he

is seen as more glorious than Moses and

Elijah and he is and so as Moses was

connected to God Jesus more

Moses also only reflected God's glory

Jesus he had his own he just is glorious

we'll get there in a minute but there's

a there's a time where Moses comes into

the presence of God he leaves God's

presence and his face is shining but

it's not like as glorious as Jesus's

face so there's an escalation and in

typology we always look for escalation

we look for how is Jesus better than

that and don't think it breaks the type

when you're like oh but they failed

they're actually that's kind of the point

point

Jesus is the anticipate is anticipated

by their failure even okay more points

ok I'm not done yet

Jesus are rising Moses Moses led them to

the promised land right he leads them up

to the promised land but he doesn't

bring them in Moses dies in the

wilderness with the rest of them Jesus

he brings us in he fulfills the promises

of God the law brings you up to the edge

of the promised land and it says you

fail you can't get in here's a glimpse

of heaven you're not gonna get to go

there that's what the law does to us

reveals to us our failures our sins

Christ he brings us in in fact it's

interesting that Joshua is the name of

the guy who actually brings them into

the Promised Land which is the exact

same name Jesus yahushua or yeshua the

shorter form but it's the same name

Jesus Joshua

so Moses couldn't give them rest but

Jesus does give them rest Moses has an

interesting statement he gives as to why

he couldn't enter the lane because I

know you're thinking you're like I know

this I know the Bible Micah stop I know

I already know all that right Moses what

did he do why couldn't into the land he

struck the rock the second time you blew

it man

why did you do that you didn't hello God

honor what God told you to do and that

would have painted a better picture of

Christ but Deuteronomy 326 listen to

what Moses says about why he couldn't

enter the land because it was more

complicated than that there was more

than one reason I think Deuteronomy 33

26 but the Lord was angry with me

because of you and would not listen to

me and the Lord said to me enough from

you do not speak to me of this matter

again this is a Moses is like I want to

in and guys like no God was angry with

Moses on account of the people so Moses

dies outside of the Promised Land he

dies in a sense in exile I think there's

a connection here between Moses and

Jesus as well because Christ God is some

symbolically here right angry I don't

know if I would use that term normally

but but he his his judgment falls upon

Jesus on account of us so he dies in

Joshua one two I mean that's kind of a

Psalm 22 talks about right I got my God

why have you forsaken me why are you so

far from the words of my groaning and

then he talked and obviously God is not

truly forsaking him in this in some

final sense rather this is speaking

about the judgment and the the payment

of sins to be made on the cross but in

Joshua one two it says Moses my servant

is dead

now therefore arise go over this Jordan

you and all this people into the land

that I'm giving to them to the people of

Israel there's this now he's dead now

you can enter in now that Christ has

died for us now we can enter in so in a

sense we see a connection that's there

now some of these you might go Mike I

don't know if I follow with that with

you on that one and I would just be like

that's totally fine maybe I'm wrong

consider it think about it these are

connections that I think I see and I

think are worth at least saying out loud

and I'd like for you to consider them as

well I think some of them are very clear

and other ones perhaps not as clear so

Moses gave them a burden the law which

they which they knew they could not obey

right Jesus he takes the burden in fact

they would call the law the yoke in acts

15 there's a debate in acts 15 in the

early church should we make the Gentiles

obey the law and they call it the yoke

that they were not able to bear that's

the phrase used they say why would we

put a yoke on the on the Gentiles that

we were not able to bear they called the

law of a yoke right well in Matthew 11:28

11:28

Jesus says come to me all who labor and

are heavy laden and I will give you rest

take my yoke upon you and learn from me

for I am gentle and lowly in heart and

you will find rest for your souls for my

yoke is easy and my

his light Christ's calling to us is

something we can accomplish we can walk

in Christ we weren't able to obey the

law okay more connections Moses he led

them out of bondage to the Egyptians

Jesus leads us out of bondage to sin as

he says whoever commits sin is a slave

of sin and he leads us out of that so

we're in a slavery Jesus leads us from

the greater slavery of sin not just to a

people group Moses led them up to the

promised land but they couldn't enter

why because of unbelief unbelief fight

that he says they don't believe me that

God says that do not believe me Jesus

pays at all and we enter in by simply

believing it's just believing it's just

a faith issue let's talk now about how

Moses his face was glowing

so in Exodus chapter 34 we read about

this Moses face glows and God seems to

use this to illustrate a really

interesting point so as I read the

passage I want you to notice that the

fade notice how it describes how Moses

was fading his the glory of the shining

of his face was fading and what they did

about it it's really interesting exis 34

29 when Moses came down from Mount Sinai

with the two tablets of the testimony in

his hand he came down from the mountain

Moses did not know that the skin of his

face shone because he'd been talking

with God I'll just point out real quick

his face was glowing

not because of some glory in him but

because he had been in God's presence

and so now he's like has what we call an

afterglow that's where the term came

from afterglow because of being in God's

presence now his face is glowing visibly

not like oh you look so happy you're glowing

glowing

no this is like he was glowing like this

was something much more than that Jesus

when he when he was on the Mount of

Transfiguration he glowed of his own

glory it seems so there's it's a greater

sense now verse 30 Aaron and all the

people of Israel saw Moses and behold

the skin of his face shone and they were

afraid to come near him they're just

scared I don't like what's going on

but Moses called to them and Aaron all

the elders of the congregation returned

to him and Moses talked with them

afterward all the people of Israel came

near and he

man in them all that the Lord had spoken

with him in Mount Sinai and when Moses

had finished speaking with them he put a

veil over his face so when he declares

God's Word is there a veil over his face

no he's like no veil I'm gonna tell you

everything God said and as soon as he's

done that's all I had to tell you and he

puts a veil over his face let's keep reading

reading

whenever Moses went in before the Lord

to speak with him he would remove the

veil until he came out and when he came

out and told the people of Israel what

it was commanded the people of Israel

would see the face of Moses that the

skin of Moses his face was shining and

Moses would put the veil over his face

again until he went in to speak with him

Moses during this season always covered

his face unless he was declaring God's

word in which case his face was glowing

temporarily but that means that if you

were an Israelite and you looked at

Moses every time you saw his face what

was it doing glowing every single time

you always saw it the what did the veil

hide from you the fact that it wasn't

gonna always be lowing okay so you got

that that's the Old Testament principle

now what is the New Testament do with

this 2nd Corinthians 11 verse 3 verse 3

2nd Corinthians chapter 3 verse 12

there's no eleven in there at all saying

here these three twelve it says since we

have such a hope we are very bold not

like Moses who would put a veil over his

face so that the Israelites might not

gaze at the outcome of what was being

brought to an end

what are they not gazing out they're not

gazing out the fading of the glory

they're not gazing at how it would fade

so the veil covers the fact that he's

Moses is fading but their minds were

hardened for to this day when they read

the Old Covenant the same veil remains

unlifted because only through Christ is

it taken away they can't tell Moses is

fading even now the Israelites who have

not received Christ don't realize that

gee that Jesus is the conclusion

you know Jesus is the fulfillment of the

law of Moses yes to this day verse 15

whenever Moses is read a veil lies over

their hearts but when one turns to the

Lord the veil is removed now the Lord is

spirit is the spirit and we're

the Spirit of the Lord is there is

freedom and we all with unveiled face

beholding the glory of the Lord are

being transformed into the same image

from one degree of glory to another for

this comes from the Lord who is the

spirit complicated passage no doubt but

you get the idea

Moses was fading and you couldn't tell

but it was written in the past in the

Old Testament wasn't it this picture

God's drawing that it that it was fading

Christ however his glory is only an

increasing glory more from one degree to

another we're growing in seeing the

glory of God we see Christ's Kingdom

will come to become more and more

glorious this world forever and then we

are also being changed ourselves to be

conformed more and more to his image so

is the opposite of that with Moses and

this connects me to John the Baptist so

let me bring in John the Baptist just

for a second in Matthew 11 we read what

Jesus said about John the Baptist in

matthew 11 13 for all the prophets and

the law prophesied until John and if you

are willing to accept it he is Elijah

who is to come Jesus is like all the all

the prophets in law they prophesied

until John John's like the the final

thing of the law and the prophets and

look at what John said about Jesus if

John represents law and prophets John

3:30 John says this verse we we often

use where he says he must increase but I

must decrease now I'm not at all

promoting some idea that we throw out

the Old Testament no no no no this is

the opposite of that we're seeing the

fulfillment of the Old Testament but we

recognize a fading or a handing off of

the glory to Christ that happens as

Jesus shows up so interesting

interesting stuff now you might think

Mike you're taking too many liberties

like you can't really read the Bible

like that like ancient Jews would never

read the Bible like that Mike you're

just you know and I would just say

actually they would read the Bible with

way more Liberty than I'm doing today

they have what's called Midrash and a

Midrash is a Jewish commentary on the

Old Testament that's meant to look at

the deeper meaning of the Old Testament

so let me just quote to you an ancient

rabbinical source goes back to

around 380 this is ancient Jewish source

that looks at Moses and how he relates

to Messiah because I just think that's

that's cool so so here we go this is

Midrash raba on Ecclesiastes relates how

rabbi Baruch hiya said in the name of

rabbi yitzhak who lived before the year

300 AD and that's by the way that's just

how these things are they're always

recounting which rabbi said what and

then they tell you what they said this

is why Jesus taught difference in their

rabbis like he's not quoting anybody

he's just like teaching us but it says

here just as there was a first Savior

that's Moses by the way there will be a

last just as it is said of the first

Savior in Exodus 4:20 that he took his

wife and sons and put them on a donkey

this is speaking of that passage where

he was in exile so it is said of the

last Savior that he is lowly and riding

on a donkey zechariah 9:9 this is

ancient Jewish rabbinical teaching

saying just like Moses was put his his

wife on a donkey so the last savor comes

in riding on a donkey the Messiah as the

first Savior provided manna Exodus 16 as

it is written behold I will pour out

bread from heaven upon you so we'll the

last Savior as it is written in Psalm 72

16 let corn abound throughout the land

just as the first Savior opened the

opened a fountain as Moses struck the

rock so the last Savior will provide

water as it is written

Joel 3:18 a fountain will flow out of

the Lord's house here's ancient

rabbinical teaching where they connect

Moses and Messiah this is not a new idea

that's the that's the point here as you

do a survey of even the miracles of

Moses you get things like Moses he gives

manna from heaven Jesus says he is the

bread from heaven the true bread from

heaven right Moses lifted up the bronze

serpent Jesus says as Moses lifted up

the bronze serpent so the Son of Man

will be lifted up Moses gave them water

from the rock that was struck Jesus was

struck to give us the living water Moses

gave them the law Jesus gave them the

grace Moses took them through the Red

Sea Jesus takes us through death into

life and he ultimately

answers all of the typology I think of

Moses now there's actually a few other

things I want to cover real quick which

are New Testament other New Testament

teachings and one Old Testament teaching

that make it even more clear that Moses

is supposed to be a type of the Messiah

so Hebrews 11 verse 23 actually I kind

of covered this one so I'm going to move

forward we'll do Hebrews 3 this is the

New Testament speaking about how Moses

is connected to Jesus Hebrews 3 I

mentioned I've covered come to this

passage earlier he was 3 1 therefore

holy brothers you who share in a

heavenly calling considered Jesus the

Apostle and high priest of our

confession who is faithful to him who

appointed him just as Moses also was

faithful in all God's house remember

earlier we read God tells Moses and

Aaron Moses is faithful in my house and

then here we read the connection to

Jesus Jesus verse 3 for Jesus has been

counted worthy of more glory than Moses

as much more glory as the builder of a

house has more honor than the house

itself for every house is built by

someone but the builder of all things is

God that's also a deity of Christ

passage there now Moses was faithful in

all God's house as a servant to testify

to the things that were to be spoken

later prophetically but Christ is

faithful over God's house as a son and

we are his house if indeed we hold fast

our confidence and our boasting in our

hope specific points right Moses was

faithful Jesus was faithful

Moses was glorious in a sense but Christ

was more glorious we've already talked

about that and Moses is part of the house

house

Jesus is the Builder Jesus comes before

and after he designed the whole thing

he's the author and finisher of our

faith Moses was a servant Christ is the

son so typology again involves

escalation we make it gets bigger with

Jesus that's the idea then in revelation

15 we have the song of Moses and of the

lamb now this is interesting because

here's a song in the book of Revelation

that literally connects Moses and Jesus

in one song so revelation 15 3 it says

they sing the song of Moses

the servant of God and the song of the

lamb saying and here's what they say

great and marvelous are your works Lord

God Almighty just and true are your ways

o king of the Saints who shall not fear

you O Lord and glorify your name for you

alone are holy for all nations shall

come and worship before you for your

judgments have been manifested now the

song of Moses came originally after the

Exodus after the judgments have God

manifested in the plagues and this song

in Revelation comes as God is

manifesting his judgments in the second

coming of Jesus again tying Exodus with

the second coming and I think that's

pretty interesting stuff so one last

point that I want to make and this is

this is where the book of Deuteronomy

just straight-up says there's someone

who's gonna be like Moses

who's gonna come and this is in

Deuteronomy we read about it in

Deuteronomy 18 verse 15 Moses gives them

a prophecy and I'm gonna read it to you

then I'll tell you how Jews for Judaism

which is a kind of anti-christ I don't

mean that as an insult they're they're

anti Jesus Movement they try to say stop

missionaries from reaching out to Jewish

people and prove us wrong on everything

and Deuteronomy 18:15 I'll read it then

all tell you what they say about it so

the Lord your God it says Moses speaking

the Lord your God will raise up for you

a prophet like me from among you from

your brothers it is to him you shall

listen future some prophet like Moses

just as you desire the Lord your God at

Horeb on the day of the assembly when

you said let me not hear again the voice

of the Lord my God or see this great

fire any more or less I die and the Lord

said to me they are right in what
