in Hebrews there is a series of verses on the faith of old testement people. this is what bar-nabba (writer of hebrews) has to say about mosheh:
hebrews 11:23-29
23By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months of his parents, because they saw he was a proper child; and they were not afraid of the king's commandment.
24By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter;
25Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;
26Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward.
27By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.
28Through faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of blood, lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them.
29By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians assaying to do were drowned.
Normal ritght? well, theres something peculiar about v. 26. lets reread that:
26Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward.
now my questin is this: how did mosheh know anything about Yeshua?
wow. that hit me hard. he, along with all the other patriarchs had a revelation of who the messiah was. Even though the mashiach did not come yet, they had faith in who he was. loook under 'feast of trumpets' and the 'the shofar' to find out how avraham had a similar revelation.
