What is a children's explanation of the Ark of the Covenant?
Moses was the leader of the Jews, hundreds of years before Jesus lived on earth. God gave 10 'commandments' or rules to the people to show them how to live so that they pleased God. These were written on two pieces of stone. Moses' brother Aaron was the most important priest in the land and had a staff ( a long stick used in ceremonies) which he used in some of the Jewish worship. When Moses led the Jews into Israel from where they were once living they travelled for many years and food was scarce, so the people were hungry. God provided a food for the Jews called 'manna' The Ark of the Covenant was a very beautiful box, covered in gold, that was used to hold the two pieces of stone with the 10 commandments on them, Aaron's staff, and some pieces of manna. Because of the history of the Jews, the Jews held these objects to be very important and holy, so the Ark was kept in the Temple at Jerusalem in the most holy part called the 'Holy of Holies' right at the centre of the Temple. When the temple was destroyed the Ark went missing and has never been found, although some people believe that it being held in safe keeping in a church in Ethiopia, in Africa.
What evidence is there that Moses wrote the Pentateuch?
Another answer from our community:There are numerous statements within the books that Moses wrote them.Uniform and solid tradition amongst the Jews who recorded and passed on their history named Moses as the author. It was not discounted until it became fashionable to discredit their long history in the 19th century.Both Old and New Testament repeatedly refer to Moses as the author and they - being much closer than modern day critics to the events - are better placed to make the call.The writer also is obviously a participant in some of the events, and we know that Moses recorded history in written form. Geographical details, first-hand accounts of certain events, and the time in which it was written all point to Mosaic authorship.The style of writing used places it in the correct time frame for Moses. This literary form was not in use at the later date when those who discredit Mosaic authorship place the writing.
Why and how is the story of Moses' life and purpose related to the story of Jesus?
Dale Allison (The New Moses: A Matthean Typology) points out that many important figures of Judaism and early Christianity were portrayed as being like Moses, no doubt to gain acceptance for these accounts. Beginning with Mark's gospel, but even more so in Matthew's Gospel, there is a fair number of parallels to the story of Moses, to show that the story of Moses forsaw the arrival of Jesus.Allison says that Matthew makes Jesus a type of Moses in several key places: the birth and infancy narrative, the temptation, the Sermon on the Mount, the transfiguration and the appointment of a successor. Even when the Moses connection comes from Mark or Q, Allison tries to show how Matthew altered the tradition to more fully stress the connection with Moses. Matthew was simply more thorough in making the connection clear, than were other biblical biographers. Looking at Matthew as the most important source for parallels with Moses, these include:Matthew 1:16 says the Jesus' father, Joseph, was the son of Jacob (cf Luke: Heli), just as in the Old Testament, Moses was the descendant of Jacob, who was the son of Jacob.Matthew 2:14 has Joseph go with Jesus to Egypt and Jesus saved his people, just as in the Old Testament Joseph went to Egypt and Moses saved his people.Matthew 2:16 has Herod slaughter the innocent infants of Bethlehem because he feared Jesus, but only Jesus survived just as the Old Testament says that the pharaoh slaughered the Israelite infants because he feared Moses, but Moses survived.Matthew 4:2 has fast for forty days and forty nights in the desert, being tempted by Satan, just as Moses did not eat or drink for forty days and forty nights while on the mountain.Matthew 5:1 has Jesus go up a mountain to give a new Law, including the nine Beatitudes) to the people, just as Moses went up a mountain to receive the Law, including the Ten Commandments, which he gave to the people.
How does an indirect proof differ from a regular proof?
Given a proposition X, a regular proof known facts and logical arguments to show that X must be true. For an indirect proof, you assume that the negation of X is true. You then use known facts and logical arguments to show that this leads to a contradiction. The conclusion then is that the assumption about ~X being true is false and that is equivalent to showing that X is true.
