Examining Christmas-Episode 08-Heir to the Promise
If Jesus shared no DNA with Joseph, then why did Matthew and Luke include him in the geneology lists? The answer: a promise had been made. In accepting Mary into his home, Joseph represented the sum of Biblical patriarchs who had also accepted the promise of the Christ. This episode examines the...

-
Examining Moses-Episode 11-Sinning in Sin
If the town of Blue Earth is not in Blue Earth County, and the town of Faribault is not in Faribault county, could Mount Sinai not be in the Sinai Peninsula? Episode 11 takes a look at "the Mountain," known as Horeb and Sinai. When Moses referenced the Wilderness of Sin, what was he describing?...
-
Examining Moses-Episode 10-The BloodLickers
Moses walked right into an ambush. After the 10 plagues, a short exodus, and crossing the Red Sea, Moses and Company are attacked by the armies of Amalek. Who? That's a good question, and to defeat this guy with 600,000 Hebrews, you even need supernatural help from God (the staff). Even though...
-
Examining Moses-Episode 9-The Roundabout
So they left Egypt... For most folks, this is a very uninspiring thought, but for me, the maps showing the Exodus route drove me nuts. How do you get to Canaan? What is the Red Sea?

Why didn't Moses go to Canaan instead of Midian when he was a fugative? Episode 5 delves into the lore behind the Land of Milk and Honey, including the Canaanites, the giants, and Anak, father of the Anakim. A bit more "fantastic" than a normal episode, but SOMETHING had to keep Hebrews out of...
-
Examining Moses-Episode 4-Mo' Better Blues
Episode 4 takes a look at the youth and early life of Moses. Why was he educated by the Egyptians? Did you know ancient historians wrote about him being a general? Or did you know that he married an Ethiopian woman named Tharbis? Aaron and Miriam knew. Following the "Ramses Theory," this time in...
-
Examining Moses-Episode 3-The Egyptian Court
Talk about a Soap Opera! While there are all sorts of "Princess" candidates to draw Moses from the water, Jason Lee Willis's "Ramses Theory" would mean Moses would have been a baby in perhaps the most turbulent era in Egyptian History--the 18th Dynasty. Who were the figures of the 18th Dynasty?…
