iIntroduction: The bible shows in many places that Jesus was ‘liken to Moses’. The following tables provide such comparisons of some points whereby Jesus may be likened to Moses. It is also proposed that there are comparisons to be made between the wives of Moses and the spiritual elect of Christ. For Moses had two wives, one of the Abrahamic covenant (the circumcision). The other wife was from Cush or African ancestors who represent the uncircumcised or gentile believers. So also has not Jesus incorporated the two types as God’s elect from every nation and every tongue? One point of Jesus redemption work may be for saintly peoples who passed outside of His death and resurrection. This complete redemption of Godly humanity could be alluded to in Jesus first miracle at Cana. There He changed six earthen pots of water into wine. For as earth and water speak of the entire planet so may the number 6 speak of the allotted time to natural or carnal or fallen humanity. The change of water to wine in all six earthen pots speaks of Jesus saving blood reaching out to all goodly mankind throughout all determined time. The apostle Peter stated that during Jesus death, before his resurrection, Christ descended into Sheol as a sinful man. After God accepted Jesus perfect blood as the covering for our sins, Jesus was made alive in Sheol and preached to the departed souls held captive there. Those who accepted his Word and Work were raised with him. Scripture tells that after Jesus resurrection, but before He ascended; many departed saints were seen walking in Jerusalem. As for the new covenant, unto as many as received Jesus atonement, to those it is granted the power to be called the Sons of God and heirs together with Christ in his kingdom. Those of his first 4,000 year redemption work have ascended with Jesus when he took captivity captive. They serve as a surety to we who await the end of his 2,000 year work, that we also shall be raised incorruptible and blameless by his blessed Spirit. See that you do not refuse Him who speaks. For if they did not escape who refused Him who spoke on earth, much more shall we not escape if we turn away from Him who speaks from heaven, whose voice then shook the earth; but now He has promised, saying, "Yet once more I shake not only the earth, but also heaven." Now this, "Yet once more," indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken, as of things that are made, that the things which cannot be shaken may remain. Therefore, since we are receiving a Kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear. For our God is a consuming fire.

Hebrews shall return to and acknowledge Jesus as their Husband before end of determined time (6000 years)

Zipporah: Midianite bride of MOSES Hebrews & Temple Judaism

Is only personally known in the narrative of the story because of her conversion by the blood covenant of circumcision. Ex4:24-26 Gen 25:1-5 & 17.

Is primarily known today because of the blood covenant of circumcision. Acts15.1

Not with her husband when he delivered the people of Israel, nor did she keep the first Passed-over with them. Acts 18:1-2

All of Judaism abandoned her husband while he was delivering the people of Israel and have not keep His Passover. Matt27.25

By faith Zipporah’s father led her to return to Moses along with their two sons. Ex18:1-5, Ro10:17

By faith, concerning the deliverance of God’ people, through the shed blood of Jesus, God’s lamb, Jn1:36, 3,000 Hebrews and millions ever since have returned to their husband Jesus. Acts 2:37-41

You never hear of Zipporah again throughout the rest of the forty years in the wilderness as she is regulated to the lesser / least role in God’s plan for Mosses over the next forty years.

In a similar way since A.D. 70, Judaism & Temple worship is a minor religion, after Jesus death, resurrection and ascent.

"There was a certain rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen and fared sumptuously every day. But there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, full of sores, who was laid at his gate, desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table. Moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. So it was that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels to Abraham's bosom. The rich man also died and was buried. And being in torments in Hades, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. Then he cried and said, 'Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my

tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.' But Abraham said, 'Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things; but now he is comforted and you are tormented. And besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, so that those who want to pass from here to you cannot, nor can those from there pass to us.' Then he said, 'I beg you therefore, father, that you would send

him to my father's house, for I have five brothers, that he may testify to them, lest they also come to this place of torment.' Abraham said to him, 'They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.' And he said, 'No, father Abraham; but if one goes to them from the dead, they will repent.' But he said to him, 'If they do not hear Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded though one rise from the dead Go page 1
