Moses
Moses is the most important prophet in Judaism and is also important in Christianity and Islam. Moses led the Israelites out of their slavery in Egypt, miraculously crossing a divided Red Sea. At Mount Sinai he received the Ten Commandments. He led the Israelites through 40 years of desert wandering and finally to the Promised Land. He died there, within sight of his goal, at the age of 120.

How can you tell when a god is mad?
I would assume that the meaning of "mad" is insane. In this case God (the one within the Abrahamic religions) cannot be mad, since for any abnormality criteria you require a notion of normality and He is beyond comparison.
Answer
If you mean 'angry': If you believe that gods get angry and show it in tangible ways, then your readily accept that every event around you is at the hand of some god, pleased or angry. You need no explanation or proof. If you do not believe in gods, or that gods would do that kind of thing, then no amount of evidence will convince you.
Answer
If by mad you mean insane or crazy, it is impossible to tell, since being abnormal first requires normality - you can't say it's broken if you don't know when it is fixed or working either - and we don't know what the mind of any god is really like.
If by mad you mean angry or displeased, then any negative event that happens to you (you lose your keys after saying "God damn it, I'm late"), to someone you know (they get in a car crash after hurrying to pick you up while you are late), or to humanity in general (an earthquake or tsunami destroys the city you live in on the day you are late and cursed a god for it) would be a good sign of a deity's anger.
Moses' strength is to face danger, face pharaoh, and had the right to speak God's words for God.
St. Stephen was an otherwise unknown martyr mentioned only in Acts of the Apostles, which says that he was stoned to death in Jerusalem. Some scholars consider the scene involving Stephen's trial and death as significant because the death of Stephen in Acts matches so closely the death of Jesus in the Gospel of Luke, by the same author. Both accounts speak of the Son of Man at the right hand of God (Luke 22:69; Acts 7:56); both have a prayer for the forgiveness of those who are effecting this execution ( Luke 23:34a; Acts 7:60); both have the dying figure commend his spirit heavenward (Luke 23:46; Acts 7:59). In the figure of Peter, Acts has shown continuity with Jesus' ministry of healing and preaching; in the figure of Stephen, Acts has shown continuity with Jesus' death.
Raymond E. Brown (An Introduction to the New Testament) says that we can never verify the existence and martyrdom of Stephen.
Moses killed the Egyptian , as he saw that he was mistreating the Israelite slave.
Moses' brother was Aaron, and his sister was Miriam (Numbers 26:59). See also:
Did Moses enter in the promised land in the New Testament?
Moses' death is clearly narrated at the end of Deuteronomy, the fifth book of the
"old testament", toward the end of the 40 years' sojourn in the desert, and before
the entrance into the promised land began. Sadly, Moses is not among the select
few figures whose resurrection is told in the new-testament.

Differences between Jesus and Moses?
Moses was an Israelite, descendant of Abraham through Isaac. Therefore, Moses was under the covenant of God.
In the Torah and the Bible The Creator declared unconditional law for the Hebrews (Deuteronomy 18:18-19)
"I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him. And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him."
Muslim's claim and believe, that Muhammad was an Arab, a descendant of Abraham through Ishmael is totally false. The line of proving their false claim is as follows: (a) Abraham got his first born Ismael from his property slave Agar. (b) Agar was born in ancient Egypt. Therefore, Mohammad and the rest of Arabs are descendants of Abraham. This fallacy is obvious based on following: (a) The birthplace of a slave in the ancient world didn't have any legal meaning, because any slave was just a property of the owner and didn't have any nationality on they own. (b) A child of a slave didn't have ANY property rights, including to inherit real estate and other property and still remain a slave even if his/her Father was a free man, with one exception: If a Hebrew free spouse of this Man took this child into her hands immediately after the child's delivery, than, this child considered by G-d's Holy Law a free Man/Woman with all property rights, but his/her biological Mother lost all rights to this born child, with one exception: If this Hebrew couple will later change their mind and will give this child to his/her biological Mother and will make them free and let them go away, but without any property rights, including rights to inherit anything from the Father. (c) The nationality got Abraham and his wife Sarah Ancient Egypt Empire didn't have nothing to with the Arabs, who were a nomad militant tribe in the desert and never got any own state and land before Mohammad's conquest and genocide of Hebrew tribes of Mecca and Medina. Even the name of Medina isn't an Arab word, but Arameic/Hebrew and has a meaning: State (back than a city-state like ancient Rome and Athens. Even today, the official name in Hebrew of the State of Israel is "Medinat Yisroel". Based on A Decree of the Creator, Ismael forever was stripped from any rights to Abraham's property, including the Holy land what was written in the Holy Torah and the Bible:
Genesis 17:3And Abram fell on his face: and God talked with him, saying,4As for me, behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations.5Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee.
6And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee.
7And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee.
8And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.
9And God said unto Abraham, Thou shalt keep my covenant therefore, thou, and thy seed after thee in their generations.
10This is my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee; Every man child among you shall be circumcised.
11And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token of the covenant betwixt me and you.
12And he that is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every man child in your generations, he that is born in the house, or bought with money of any stranger, which is not of thy seed.
13He that is born in thy house, and he that is bought with thy money, must needs be circumcised: and my covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant.
14And the uncircumcised man child whose flesh of his foreskin is not circumcised, that soul shall be cut off from his people; he hath broken my covenant.
15And God said unto Abraham, As for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall her name be.
16And I will bless her, and give thee a son also of her: yea, I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of people shall be of her.
17Then Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed, and said in his heart, Shall a child be born unto him that is an hundred years old? and shall Sarah, that is ninety years old, bear?
18And Abraham said unto God, O that Ishmael might live before thee!
19And God said, Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed; and thou shalt call his name Isaac: and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him.
20And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee: Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation.
21But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, which Sarah shall bear unto thee at this set time in the next year.
22And he left off talking with him, and God went up from Abraham.
23And Abraham took Ishmael his son, and all that were born in his house, and all that were bought with his money, every male among the men of Abraham's house; and circumcised the flesh of their foreskin in the selfsame day, as God had said unto him.
24And Abraham was ninety years old and nine, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
25And Ishmael his son was thirteen years old, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
26In the selfsame day was Abraham circumcised, and Ishmael his son.
27And all the men of his house, born in the house, and bought with money of the stranger, were circumcised with him.
Genesis 21:12 And God said unto Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad, and because of thy bondwoman; in all that Sarah hath said unto thee, hearken unto her voice; for in Isaac shall thy seed be called.
Therefore, he was not under the covenant and cut off from the line of prophesy (Deut 18:18)
Because G-d one and eternal, it's no way that He will brace His Eternal Covenant made with the Hebrews and will create a "New" set of Laws totally in contradiction with the Laws given trough the Hebrews to the Entire Mankind, in with will be written a marching order to kill The Hebrews and to take from them The Holy Land and to convert other Nations to Islam by force, by fire and a sword, instead of kindness and a example of Holy life of a Holy Nation - The Hebrews. Genocide of Jews and other people is not just a crime against humanity, but a abomination and revolt against G-d's Will and Authority and can't be an essence of any religion of peace and justice.

Hey man thanx i got 100 on my quiz u rock!
No, because no other person or prophet ever reached Moses' level in the past, or will ever reach his level in the future (Numbers ch.12, Deuteronomy ch.34). See also:
When was Moses alive according to a literal interpretation of the Bible?
It is generally accepted by Christians that the Israelite journey into Egypt would have taken place about 1870 BCE. According to Genesis, Moses' grandfather, Kohath, was alive when the Israelites travelled to Egypt and lived 133 years, while Moses' father, Amran, lived 137 years. We do not know how old Kohath was when he went to Egypt, but if he and his son Amran were capable of fathering a child at any time between puberty and the year of their deaths, then Moses was born between about 1855-1600 BCE and, living to 120 years old, died between 1735 and 1480 BCE.
The Bible literally tells us that the Exodus from Egypt took place approximately 1444 BCE, based on 1 Kings 6:1, which states that the Exodus was 480 years before the fourth year of Solomon's reign. Moses lived a further forty years so, and living to the age of 120 years, was born approximately 1524 BCE and died approximately 1404 BCE.
What natural features did Abraham and Moses follow on their long journeys?
It's not clear that Moses followed any particular natural features when in the wilderness.
Abraham (and later Jacob) followed the curve of the Fertile Crescent, avoiding the Syrian Desert.
Why was Moses denied entry into the promised Land of Israel?
"Despite living to 120, he did not enter the Land of Israel,or the promised land, because he hit the rock twice instead of speaking to the rock" An alternate answer: Moses's function as the deliverer of the Israelites (they weren't "Jews" yet) from Egypt to the promised land had concluded. The Israelites now had to conquer the land - fighting some tribes and making peace with others. This phase required a completely different persona, embodied in the young, charismatic military tactician, Joshua. An alternative to this theory is that Moses had been "building up" the promised land in the imaginations of the Israelites for 40 years. Moses knew that the reality on the ground would be much more difficult and complex. Had Moses crossed the Jordan river with his people, they might have rebelled against him and the LORD for misleading them. This is why a new leader, one that could start with a "clean slate" was needed.
What part did the moses play in the exodus from egypt?
Moses was called upon by God to lead God's people, the Israelites, out of slavery. He was the focal point between God and Pharaoh. He delivered God's warnings to Pharaoh, culminating in the death of all first born of the Egyptians and the origin of Passover. He led the people across the Red Sea into the Sinai peninsula. He did not, however, make the last step into the Promised Land because he sinned against God.
