Eze 17:2  Son of man, put forth a riddle and speak a parable unto the house of Israel;

We all know the bible is a giant parable, it can be a riddle as well. Anyone see a very relevent riddle below?


Exodus 4

 1And Moses answered and said, But, behold, they will not believe me, nor hearken unto my voice: for they will say, The LORD hath not appeared unto thee.

 2And the LORD said unto him, What is that in thine hand? And he said, A rod.

 3And he said, Cast it on the ground. And he cast it on the ground, and it became a serpent; and Moses fled from before it.

 4And the LORD said unto Moses, Put forth thine hand, and take it by the tail. And he put forth his hand, and caught it, and it became a rod in his hand:

 5That they may believe that the LORD God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath appeared unto thee.

 6And the LORD said furthermore unto him, Put now thine hand into thy bosom. And he put his hand into his bosom: and when he took it out, behold, his hand was leprous as snow.

 7And he said, Put thine hand into thy bosom again. And he put his hand into his bosom again; and plucked it out of his bosom, and, behold, it was turned again as his other flesh.

Peace,

It is multi leveled (as is so much of scripture) therefore there is more than one "correct" answer......

Peace,

I would like to take a guess at this one. The people needed proof that Moses had a chat with God. If Moses were to throw that rod down to the ground, it would probaly turn into a serpent. And in the same way Moses could change the color of his hand, magic tricks, so people would believe him.

Hi Joe,

I may not understand the question, there are several riddles. One i see is that people walk
by sight and not by faith (they will not believe without some visual evidence). Even though
we learn in the Scriptures that The (Spiritual) things unseen are so much more Powerful than
the (physical) things seen.
