Voices shall be heard?!!
May 3, 2009
I’m probably too old-fashioned to go back to the book of Exodus, since we are living in a democratic society, where everyone’s voice shall be heard.
But in the time of exodus, there is not much room for discussion. God spoke, Moses led, and the Hebrews followed. They thus crossed the red sea, conquered their enemies. But problems came as discussion began. How come we have so little food? How can we do this, how can we do that, this is not possible. They forgot that their God is the creator who turned nothing into the universe. They wanted to be heard, their complains went up to the Lord, and thus they wandered in the desert for 40 years till the generation died. If then Moses was trying to be political and let all voices to be heard, all issues to be discussed, more generations had probably passed out in the desert.
