Moses: A Multi-Faceted Leader, a Tragic Leader

It is without controversy-without debate and without further undue discussion, according to Hebrews under the Old Covenant, Jews of the New Covenant, and Israelis of today-that Moses was the greatest leader of their long storied and varied history. From his miraculous deliverance from the Nile River as a Hebrew baby to the incredible day the Lord Himself buried him on Mount Hebron, the life of Moses can be distinguished in three separate forty-year periods. Birth to forty years of age: his birth, early life, and training for leadership in Egypt Forty to eighty years of age: his life in the Midian Desert as a shepherd of his father-in-law's sheep until his miraculous call on the backside of the mountain by a burning bush Eighty to one hundred twenty years of age: his latter life called and orchestrated by God as the deliverer of the children of Israel from the land of Goshen to the boundary of the Promised Land of Canaan His leadership abilities and his capabilities should be studied, examined, and emulated by this generation of people who have been called into kingdom leadership positions by our King Father, authorized by the King Son, and empowered by the Holy Spirit. This study seeks to chronicle and quantify the life, leadership style, characteristics, qualities, and capabilities of Moses, an important leader of not only Hebrew history but also world history.
