Moses, a figure of monumental importance, was chosen from the moment of his birth. He was destined to carry the fortunes of God’s chosen people, as the inheritors of a new, promised land. This land was prophesied to be the place from which the law would stretch forth from Zion, reaching the farthest corners of the earth. His mission was to "turn the hearts of the fathers to the children and the children to the fathers", as stated in the book of Malachi, chapter 4, verses 5-6.
His role was not only pivotal but had a profound spiritual significance. It was a call to adhere to the absolute rule of God, a rule that if rejected, overruled, or replaced with human authority and logic, would have dire consequences. By the same measure that this divine authority was dismissed, the blessings of God would be forfeited. These blessings would be replaced instead by contemporary forms of bondage.
These forms of modern-day slavery could manifest themselves in many ways. They could take the form of crippling addictions, debilitating mental illness, deep-seated afflictions of the soul, or even perversion in mind and body. His life and mission serve as a stark reminder of the consequences of deviating from divine law and authority.
