Introduction
To beseech another’s cause is the demand of God to support which is presented extensively throughout the summons of the Bible. While reading the Bible, people come across some powerful Biblical characters with their great stories. They were considered as Biblical heroes as they had put the demand of God into action for the betterment of the people. Whether these characters are qualified or not, demands of God on Biblical characters to speak confidently in both the New and Old Testaments. Some of the heroes in the bible ask questions or do not want to do what God had asked them to do in case of Moses and Abraham. Jacob did not even walk with God at first. On the other hand, there were heroes in biblical who just plainly listened to God and followed his command, such as Noah and Joseph of Nazareth.
However, all of these characters are considered to be the heroes in the bible which signifies that it is not necessary to just follow the commands given by God, one can also present his views or opinions on the tasks he had asked to do and can still be called heroic character. By presenting one’s viewpoints, one can get better understanding of the things that God has asked them to do. This paper attempts to talk about some of the Biblical heroes and quote the relevant passages from the Bible.
Moses (Exodus)
This biblical hero has taught that God can still use a person who himself considers to be unqualified. Moses had an exclusive place. He was a Hebrew by birth but brought up in Pharaoh’s palace. Hebrews were the slaves of the Egyptians. God called Moses and asked him to go to Pharaoh and set all the Hebrews free from slavery. Moses did not want to go which is why he offered a slew of excuses to God (Exodus 3 and 4). Until the final exclamation of Moses, “Pardon your servant, Lord. Please send someone else” (Exodus 4:3), which God patiently answers. Moses’ request was relatable as well as pitiful because setting people free is desired by almost everybody, yet we frequently hope that God asks others to perform such activity (World Vision, 2019).
Agreeing to do what God had asked Moses to do, Moses went to Pharaoh but his pleas were denied consistently to set the Hebrews free. It took ten plagues which have destroyed the wealth and health of the people in Egypt before Moses’ plea was granted by Pharaoh. To change Pharaoh’s heart was not really up to Moses, God looked to it. It just to show that Moses was truthful in replying to God’s call to stand for the Hebrews inconsiderate of the time it will be consuming and rest left to God (World Vision, 2019).
Noah
Noah was first seen in the book of Genesis when some of his lineage was shown. “And Lamech lived after he begat Noah five hundred ninety and five years, and begat sons and daughters. And all the days of Lamech were seven hundred seventy and seven years: and he died.” (Genesis 5:28-3). He had three sons, Shem, Ham and Japheth (Genesis 5:32; 6:10). According to the Bible, Noah founded refinement in the sight of God. He was just a man, who was impeccable in his time and marched with God (Genesis 6:9). He was of the age when the world was turning sinful continuously (Kowalski, 2001). God wanted to start the world all over again because this time saddened Him immensely. Therefore, God said to Noah, “The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them...
