Branch, Stick, or Serpent

A story of the book of Exodus, chapter Four.

Moses has a bro, a good solid friend.

Moses shews his friend how he's lacking knowledge in a certain matter.

The friend of Moses instead of remaining silent and listening to how he is lacking knowledge in that certain manner, spoke as if he did have knowledge instead.

Moses didn't back his friend in what he was saying, instead he grabbed him by the ass and straightened him out, and Moses shewed his friend the truth of the matter.

And that's how the friend of Moses became the Rod of God.

One with discernment of parables is a Branch. One fallen from the tree is a Stick. One that says they know things they do not actually know is a Serpent.

Anywhere the LORD is found, there is a moral to the story.

The moral of the story is, it is sometimes better for one to remain a Stick and listen for knowledge, rather than open their mouth and bump their head on a Branch that can shew them to be a Serpent.

Exodus 4 1 ¶ And 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.

Exodus 4 2 ¶ And the LORD said unto him, What is that in thine hand? And he said, A rod.

Exodus 4 3 ¶ And 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.

Exodus 4 4 And 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:

Exodus 4 5 That 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.

For one to say they know a thing they do not actually know, is what it means to call evil good.

For one to come to knowledge of a matter and attempt to continue to propagate the thing they know is a lie, is what it means to do evil continually, what it means to be a talking serpent.

The parable of Judas is about, although Judas had many talents he had no talent for lieing. Over and over Judas was shown to be a Serpent. One day Judas threw his hands up in the air and gave up lieing, and shewed himself to be a Branch of the tree of knowledge of good and evil instead.
