I am a retired VA employee who lives in Texas. I consider the characters of the Bible "family" as much as any I know or have known on earth. To be one of the Lord's beloved is the greatest thing I know. What good company!

Bibledoorajar: The finger of God

Earlier in Exodus we read of the magicians of Egypt advising Pharaoh that he was being called out by the finger of God. Now we find the finger of God writing commandments on two slabs of stone. From the words of Jesus in Luke 11:20 we learn that if He (Jesus) cast out demons with the finger of God then no doubt the kingdom of God had arrived through Him. God wrote the commandments with His own finger to show His all encompassing authority. Jesus healed and ministered only via God's authority. His authority is the basis for all communities established in His Name. His is the creative power to establish viable God/man loving communities and human interaction. King David said God fashioned his hands and fingers for battle with His authority.

Alfred Lord Tennyson mentioned that the finger of God moved over the one he was memorializing and that afterward he slept in death. Thus it was and always will be with the finger of God. Creation is His and He has declared what a kingdom established by Him should look like.
