Miracles
Not counting the original creation of Genesis chapter 1, two other time periods were packed full of miracles. The first time period when miracles seemed like daily occurances was during the first Exodus and wilderness journey to the promised land. Unbelievers even performed miracles; immitating what Moses did. The supernatural being who helped Moses was stronger than the one who helped Pharaoh. The same can be said for the second exodus.
Miracles were either to benefit God's people in times of re-creation or to try to mislead people during the covenant creation. Yes, some unbelievers even had supernatural power to perform miracles, by way of the unfaithful spirit beings, in both Pharaoh's day and in the first century.
The old covenant miracles were for convincing, protecting and sustaining during the typical creation of the nation. The second exodus miracles, in the first century, were during the transition of the nation into the new covenant creation. The Hebrews were being set free from their slavery to the law. At times miracles were even used by unbelievers to mislead people and compete with Yahwey.
Exodus 6:6-7 CLV 6 Wherefore say to the sons of Israel: I am Yahweh; hence I will bring you forth from beneath the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will rescue you from their service. I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with great judgments. 7 I will take you to Me as a people. I will become to you as Elohim, and you will realize that I am Yahweh your Elohim, Who brought you forth from beneath the burdens of the Egyptians.
Exodus 7:9 LITV 9 When Pharaoh speaks to you, saying, Give a miracle for yourselves, you shall say to Aaron, Take your staff and throw it before Pharaoh; and let it become a snake.
Exodus 7:10-13 CLV 10 Moses and Aaron entered to Pharaoh and did so, just as Yahweh had instructed. Aaron flung his rod before Pharaoh and before his servants, and it became a snake. 11 Pharaoh, however, called for the wise men and for the enchanters. And even they, the sacred scribes of Egypt, did so with their occultisms. 12 Each man flung his rod, and they became snakes. Then Aaron's rod swallowed up their rods. 13 Yet the heart of Pharaoh was steadfast, and he did not hearken to them, just as Yahweh had spoken.
Exodus 7:20-22 CLV 20 Moses and Aaron did so just as Yahweh had instructed; he raised the rod and smote the waters which were in the waterway before the eyes of Pharaoh and before the eyes of his servants. And all the waters which were in the waterway were turned to blood. 21 The fish which were in the waterway died, and the waterway stank so that the Egyptians were unable to drink the waters from the waterway. And the blood came to be in all the land of Egypt. 22 Also the sacred scribes of Egypt did so with their occultisms; hence the heart of Pharaoh was steadfast, and he did not hearken to them, just as Yahweh had spoken.
Exodus 8:5-7 CLV 5 Then Yahweh said to Moses: Say to Aaron, Stretch out your hand with your rod over the streams, over the waterways and over the ponds, and bring up the frogs on the land of Egypt. 6 Now Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt. And the frogs ascended and covered the land of Egypt. 7 Also the sacred scribes did so with their occultisms, and they brought up frogs over the land of Egypt.
Exodus 14:24 YLT 24 and it cometh to pass, in the morning watch, that Jehovah looketh unto the camp of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and troubleth the camp of the Egyptians,
Deuteronomy 29:5 ECB 5 and I carried you forty years in the wilderness: neither your clothes wore out on you, nor shoe wore out on your foot:
Psalm 105:37-41 YLT 37 And bringeth them out with silver and gold, And there is not in its tribes a feeble one. 38 Rejoiced hath Egypt in their going forth, For their fear had fallen upon them. 39 He hath spread a cloud for a covering, And fire to enlighten the night. 40 They have asked, and He bringeth quails, And with bread of heaven satisfieth them. 41 He hath opened a rock, and waters issue, They have gone on in dry places—a river.
John 2:18-22 LITV 18 Then the Jews answered and said to Him, What sign do you show to us, since you do these things? 19 Jesus said to them, Destroy this sanctuary, and in three days I will raise it up. 20 Then the Jews said, This sanctuary was forty six years being built, and do you raise it up in three days? 21 But He spoke about the sanctuary of His body. 22Then when He was raised from the dead, His disciples recalled that He said this to them. And they believed the Scripture, and the word which Jesus spoke.
Luke 5:24-25 YLT 24 `And that ye may know that the Son of Man hath authority upon the earth to forgive sins—(he said to the one struck with palsy) —I say to thee, Arise, and having taken up thy little couch, be going on to thy house.' 25 And presently having risen before them, having taken up that on which he was lying, he went away to his house, glorifying God,
Matthew 11:3-5 LITV 3 John said to Him, Are You the One coming, or are we to look for another? 4 And answering, Jesus said to them, Going, relate to John what you hear and see: 5 The blind receive sight, and the lame walk; lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear; the dead are raised, and the poor are given the gospel. Isa. 61:1
Matthew 24:24 CLV 24 For roused shall be false christs and false prophets, and they shall be giving great signs and miracles, so as to deceive, if possible, even the chosen."
Did the Israelites recieve the daily miracles because they were a mature congregation?
Exodus 6:1-4 CLV 1 They journeyed from Elim; and the whole congregation of the sons of Israel entered into the wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after their going forth from the land of Egypt. 2 Then the whole congregation of the sons of Israel grumbled against Moses and against Aaron in the wilderness; 3 and the sons of Israel said to them: O that we had died by the hand of Yahweh in the land of Egypt when we sat over the flesh pots when we ate bread to satisfaction, for you have brought us forth to this wilderness to put this entire assembly to death with famine. 4 Then Yahweh said to Moses: Behold Me causing bread from the heavens to rain for you. When the people will go forth they will pick up a day's matter in its day, that I may probe them, whether they shall go by My law or not.
Exodus 16:11-12 CLV 11 Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying. 12 I have heard the grumblings of the sons of Israel. Speak to them saying, Between the evening hours you shall eat flesh, and in the morning you shall be satisfied with bread. Then you will realize that I am Yahweh your Elohim.
Exodus 16:27-28 CLV 27 And it came to be on the seventh day some of the people went forth to pick it up, and they found none. 28 Hence Yahweh said to Moses: How long will you refuse to observe My instructions and My laws?
Exodus 16:35 LITV And the sons of Israel ate the manna forty years, until their coming into an inhabited land. They ate the manna until their coming to the border of the land of Canaan.
1 Corinthians
10:1-13 YLT 1 And
I do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, that all our fathers
were under the cloud, and all passed through the
sea, 2 and
all to Moses were baptized in the cloud, and in the
sea; 3 and
all the same spiritual food did eat, 4 and
all the same spiritual drink did drink, for they were drinking of a
spiritual rock following them, and the rock was the
Christ; 5 but
in the most of them God was not well pleased, for they were strewn
in the wilderness, 6 and
those things became types of us, for our not passionately desiring
evil things, as also these did desire. 7 Neither
become ye idolaters, as certain of them, as it hath been written,
`The people sat down to eat and to drink, and stood up to
play;' 8 neither
may we commit whoredom, as certain of them did commit whoredom, and
there fell in one day twenty-three
thousand; 9 neither
may we tempt the Christ, as also certain of them did tempt, and by
the serpents did perish; 10 neither
murmur ye, as also some of them did murmur, and did perish by the
destroyer. 11 And
all these things as types did happen to those persons, and they
were written for our admonition, to whom the end of the ages did
come, 12 so
that he who is thinking to stand—let him observe, lest he
fall. 13 No
temptation hath taken you—except human; and God is faithful, who
will not suffer you to be tempted above what ye are able, but He
will make, with the temptation, also the outlet, for your being
able to bear it.
John 6:28-37 LITV 28 Then they said to Him, What may we do that we may work the works of God? 29 Jesus answered and said to them, This is the work of God, that you believe into Him whom that One sent. 30 Then they said to Him, Then what miracle do you do that we may see and may believe you? What do you work? 31 Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, as it is written "He gave them bread out of Heaven to eat." LXX-Psa. 77:24; MT-Psa. 78:24 32 Then Jesus said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, Moses has not given you the bread out of Heaven, but My Father gives you the true bread out of Heaven. 33 For the bread of God is He coming down out of Heaven and giving life to the world.34 Then they said to Him, Lord, always give us this bread. 35 Jesus said to them, I am the Bread of life; the one coming to Me will not at all hunger, and the one believing into Me will never ever thirst. 36 But I said to you that you also have seen Me and did not believe. 37 All that the Father gives to Me shall come to Me, and the one coming to Me I will in no way cast out.
