Embark on a journey through one of the Bible’s most captivating encounters as Reverend Joseph Steinberg of Jews for Jesus joins us to unpack the profound significance of Moses' burning bush experience. Did you know Moses was 80 when he was called by the angel of the Lord from within a burning bush that wasn't consumed? We dive deep into identifying this angel as the pre-incarnate Christ, exploring how this theophany underscores the eternal presence and divine plan of Jesus throughout history. By drawing parallels from passages in Judges, we highlight the continuity and steadfastness of God’s promises.
