I have wanted to do this for a long time. Write a timely discourse on what is happening to us as we go about our daily lives during such a wrong feeling world. What I hope to cover are such things as follows:

1. Where did this time we're presently living in come from?

2. Why are we so stupid about how to manage  it?

3. What can be done to better manage it?

4. What is the position God has taken during this time?

First I want you to understand this discourse will be written from a biblical perspective. 

Lets begin with the story of creation. First we see God in action. He can do anything he wishes and so he creates millions of universes, which move about the heavens. Then in one of them he makes a perfect planet, in a perfect solar system. All of which is covered by His care and concern. After making something beyond our imagination, he puts people on the perfect planet. Then he gives them the responsibility to care for this perfect creation. And he gave them full charge over what I will call paradise. Then He gave them this one rule. Do not eat the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for if you do you will die. And what did they do? They automatically did what he said not to do. Isn't that just like us, tell someone not to touch something or not to do something and what happens? That is the very next thing they do. Why is that? Because we think this. God does not tell me what I can and cannot do. And what God promised them actually happened. They were going to live forever when it all began, but now they would have a limit on how long they would live. And now since this was no longer paradise, everything on the planet has a life expectancy. God made it such, because one person (me, you, and them) failed to pay attention, we were too busy thinking that we are the sole controllers of our own lives. (who does God think he is? ...God or something?) There are days like that now because we think it so. Now we are fully susceptible to anything that threatens this fragile life that we have.  

I want to explain something here about this tree of life:  The tree of life, mentioned in the books of Genesis and Revelation, is a life-giving tree created to enhance and perpetually sustain the physical life of humanity. The tree was planted by God in the Garden of Eden: “The LORD God made all kinds of trees grow out of the ground—trees that were pleasing to the eye and good for food. In the middle of the garden were the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil” (Genesis 2:9). The centrally located tree of life would have been easily accessible to Adam and Eve from any point in the garden.

More details concerning the tree of life come after Adam and Eve’s sin: “The LORD God said, ‘The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever’” (Genesis 3:22). In his disobedience, Adam lost his eternal life. The tree of life in Eden must have had some role to play in maintaining the life of Adam and Eve (and possibly the animals). Adam would “live forever,” even in his fallen condition, if he had eaten from the tree of life after his sin. God placed a sword-wielding cherub at the entrance to the garden specifically “to guard the way to the tree of life” (verse 24). It seems access to the tree of life would have prolonged Adam’s physical life indefinitely, dooming him to an eternity in a cursed world.

It was a mercy that God kept us from the tree of life. By barring access to the tree of life, God showed compassion in His omniscience. Knowing that, because of sin, earthly life would be filled with sorrow and toil, God graciously limited the number of years men would live. To live eternally in a sinful state would mean endless agony for humanity, with no hope of the relief that comes with death. By limiting our lifespan, God gives us enough time to come to know Him and His provision for eternal life through Christ but spares us the misery of an endless existence in a sinful condition.

In His great love, God provided One who would redeem fallen mankind. Through one man, Adam, sin entered the world, but through another Man, Jesus Christ, redemption through the forgiveness of sin is available to all (Romans 5:17). Those who avail themselves of the sacrifice of Christ on the cross will be resurrected to see the tree of life again, for it stands in the middle of the Holy City, the New Jerusalem, where it bears “twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations” (Revelation 22:2). In the eternal state, the curse will be no more (verse 3), access to the tree of life will be reinstated, and darkness will be forever banished (verse 5). Eden will be restored. So Now we know where this time we're living in came from. God set it up in the very beginning. and we failed Him. 

Now we go to Moses and the matter of his freeing his race of people from pharaoh. The Pharaoh that controlled the lives of the Jews for four hundred years in Egypt. What that describes is this; The Jews became captives of Pharaoh. According to the Book of Exodus, there was a famine in the land of Canaan (later known as Israel). Because of this famine, the Hebrew patriarch Jacob traveled with his extended family of 70 to Egypt to both live inbetter conditions and be with his son Joseph. Joseph’s wisdom had impressed the Pharaoh of Egypt to the point that he was appointed Viceroy of Egypt, which was second in power only to the Pharaoh.

The next 430 years in Egypt saw the Israelites prosper and rapidly multiply to about 3 million people. These numbers were so great, the Pharaoh became nervous that the Israelites were becoming too many in number to control and thought they might side with Egypt’s enemies in case of war. The Pharaoh decreed that the Israelites should be enslaved to build cities and roads for him so that they would be too tired and also would not have time to have children. The Israelites were then confined to the land area of Goshen (Hebrew meaning of Goshen: “approaching” or “drawing near,” meaning the Israelites were possibly drawn closer to God during this period of time in Goshen, hence the essence of the Passover story occurred here), which was the fertile land that was east of the Nile delta and west of the border of Canaan. Then enters Moses.
