Now Playing: THE BURNING BUSH
MOSES had come all the way to the mountain of Ho'reb to find grass for his sheep.Here he saw a bush on fire,but it wasn't burning up!"This is strange,'Moses thought.'I will go closer and get a better look.'When he did,a voice came from the bush,saying:'Do not come any close.Take off your sandals,because you are standing on holy ground.'It was GOD speaking by means of an angel,so Moses covered his face.GOD then said:'I have seen the suffering of my people in Egypt.So I am going to free them,and you are the one I am sending to lead my people out of Egypt,'JEHOVAH was going to bring his people to the beautiful land of Ca'naan.But Moses said:'I am nobody.How can I do thise?But suppose I do go.Israelites will say to me,"Who sent you?"Then what shall I say?'This is what you are to say,'GOD answered.'"JEHOVAH the GOD of Abraham,the GOD of Isaac and the GOD of Jacob has sent me to you." 'And JEHOVAH added:'This is my name forever.'But suppose they don't believe me when I say that you sent me,'Moses replied.'What is in your hand?GOD ask.Moses answered:a stick.' 'Throw it on the ground,'GOD said.And when Moses did,the stick became a snake.JEHOVAH then showed Moses another miracle. (READ AT EXODUS 3:1-22)
