Moses may be a title to a cult of those saved by water, or the purification by water process.

I use the word cult loosely since it infers insult to many. Cult is culture and needs at least a few followers to exist. So most ideologies are cults IMO. 

From the NewAdvent we find Moses as being a possible derivative of the Egyptian word "mesh" meaning child, or from the Hebrew "Meshah" meaning to draw out, or the coptic combination of Mo and Uses which means "saved by water".

The story of Moses and this fiery snake on a stick only begins in the 13th century BC. He was a prophet, leader, lawmaker, and liberator of people. He may be the founding father of Israel and the Jewish cult.

This was centuries after the time when the world of Noah and his sons had been established. Several Egyptian Dynasties had come and gone and in the process many people had become enslaved to the ideologies of the Pharaoh's. The parents of  Moses and other Hebrews were counted amongst these slaves.

The Pharaoh of this particular dynasty was on a mission to eliminate all male Hebrew slave offspring by drowning the newborns in the Nile river. Moses was saved from this act of genocide. His young body was located floating in a cradle down river safe and unharmed and he was raised by the Pharaoh's daughter with his true identity hidden. If this account is correct then the name Moses could very well have been given to him as a symbol of being "drawn out of the water". 

He was a leader and believed he was called by a supreme being who spoke to him above the dictates of the Pharaoh. The exodus from Egypt under the command of Moses and his fiery staff is a story of purification in a sort. It is the execution of a different set of orders and these orders come from Moses. So Moses is a lawmaker. The successful completion of his exodus strategy which includes the parting of the sea makes him a liberator of the people.

The parting of the sea could be interpreted in many different ways. One of those interpretation could be as simple as the belief in the purifying water providing the mental ability for the followers of the Moses spirit of time or paradigm to stand their ground and fight for freedom instead of accepting the edicts of overlords who believed themselves G-ods in the human form and who ruled through tyranny and enslavement.

If a person accepts the literal words of a parting sea then the magical power that would be required to perform such an act could come from any number of sources. One of those sources is the Alien technology theory. Another could be a mass transcendence into a different dimension which would take multi dimensional universes into account. And there are others.

Ironically enough Moses was commanded through spiritual channels to build a fiery serpent staff made of brass at a time when brass was not the main metal for the metal smiths. It was a time when bronze, tin, and copper were easier to work with.

I personally like to think of that fiery serpent staff as an equal to the talking stick that the native Americans have used for ages in rituals of political correctness where the person holding the fiery talking staff is the speaker and anyone who speaks above his voice is looked down upon has an intruder. 

History notes that in about the same period as Moses was carrying his fiery staff and leading the Hebrews out of Egypt the Egyptian paradigm was shifting from a polytheistic pantheon to a monotheistic one.

That's my interpretation of Moses and his fiery staff.

I can however see some real similarities between Moses' fiery serpent staff and the Greek myth of Aesclepius and Zeus and I have to research the historical beginnings of the medical symbol called Aesclepius. That's the one with the single snake slithering up the staff. The double serpent medical symbol is the Caduceus.

However my beliefs change every time I read something new so I reserve the right to change with time. Since I subscribe to no strict dogma about any sect of religion I also accept others opinions . 

So feel free to comment and you may change my mind about Moses and his fiery staff.

The sacred book passage that mentions this is found in the Old Testament in Numbers 21:8-9

This challenge is easy....but i'm reaching for the Preparation H ointment...you know that cure all for what ails you when you've been sitting on your asp too long.....but really it would be more for the bags under me eyes....i hear it works good for that too.

Maybe just an asp irin will do.
