Free at Last in the Promised Land

Book excerpt: Free at Last in the Promised Land goes into detail as how and why Moses, a common person, and the people of Israel left the slavery of Egypt to enter the promised land. Moses, the leader of the people of Israel, with great sacrifice and with God’s help, forced Egypt’s Pharaoh to let the people of Israel go, which put them on their way to the promised land. On their way to the promised land, the people of Israel committed great sins against God, and they were punished for their behaviors. Moses also disobeyed God, which caused him and his brother Aaron to not be allowed to enter the promised land. Also, along the way to the promised land, Moses and the people of Israel fought with their own distant relatives, and they were able to defeat them with God’s help and with God turning them into a great nation, as promised to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. There may be many who don’t know that there were two partings during Moses’s and the people of Israel’s march to the promised land: God’s parting of the Red Sea and Jordan River. There were also other major partings from the beginning—God separated the waters of heavens and of the earth. Elijah and Elisha were allowed to part the Jordan River with God’s help. Free at Last in the Promised Land is an essential reading for anyone who wonders about the deepest parts of the journey of Moses and the people of Israel’s march toward the promised land.
