11/20/14 Outside Reading: It’s Raining Frogs

            Moses had an extraordinary experience almost like Noah. God came to him on the top of a mountain through a burning bush. He told Moses to venture to Egypt, where a Pharaoh imprisoned the Israelites. Now is where Moses differs from Noah, he questioned God asking what to do if he was asked who sent him. God told him to tell them that ‘I am’ sent him, because he said, “I am who I am,” which is a representation of God’s inner ego, balancing his id and superego. God doesn’t straight up tell Moses his name, and yet he does not hold back and give him nothing. Moses thinks about what God told him and his response, when asking his name and decides to carry out what God has asked him to do. Through out his venture Moses conquers many obstacles. When he finally frees the Israelites they are encountered with a major problem, the Red Sea is in their way. Moses has no idea what to do, but then God speaks to him. Moses proceeds to split the Red Sea in half and take the Israelites home. He had to have a lot of faith in one man, God, in order to carry out this task, and a lot of courage and motivation to save those slaves. Not many people have the concentration like Moses did, that is something that only God could see in a man. Yet that is in every human being and anyone is capable of doing anything.
