**Moses**, also known as **Destroyer of Pantheons**, was the Old Testament prophet who wrote the Torah and the first writer of the Bible. He was also the one who freed the Israelites from Egypt with the Arm of Yahweh and was considered the greatest prophet on Earth.

## Overview

Moses was originally an Egyptian prince who later became a religious leader, lawgiver, and prophet. He is considered one of the most important prophets of the Jews and is traditionally attributed with the authorship or acquisition of the Torah, which includes the first five books of the Hebrew Bible.

It is believed that Moses will return in the Apocalypse as one of the Two Witnesses of the Apocalypse to battle the Trihexa, and to guide humanity back to God, alongside Elijah.

## Appearance

Little is known about his original appearance, but Moses during the Exodus was already about 80 years old, and probably dressed in classic Israelite clothing that covered his entire body. He also carried a stick made of sapphire that weighed 5kg.

During the 21st century, when he returned as one of two witnesses, he assumed the appearance of a 30-year-old man, with a bushy beard and neat hair and a well-defined physique. He wore a brown jacket and dark blue pants. Ironically, Moses was not used to the current fashion of the planet and even said that he preferred his old clothes. He keeps his sapphire stick.

## Personality

Moses is a man known for his courage and determination, chosen by God Himself to lead Israel's deliverance from Egypt. To the Jews, Moses is called the greatest prophet of God, as unlike other prophets like Isaiah, Daniel and Elijah, who were afraid to see a manifestation of God, Moses, when he saw the Angel of the Lord in the Burning Bush, was not afraid. However, he was very insecure when the Angel told him to go to Egypt, even mentioning that he had a problem with words as an excuse for God to send another. But after being encouraged by God, he decided to go to Egypt again and face his brother, the pharaoh of Egypt.

Due to his success in freeing the Hebrews and leading the Israelites for 40 years in Egypt, he was given the honorable mission to return to Earth during Apocalypse to face the Trihexa with Elijah. Moses however, is not perfect, as even being considered the greatest prophet of God, when God told him to ask the rock to give them water, Moses lost control in a moment of anger and disobeyed God's word, hitting the rock instead to ask, what did with God not allow Moses to enter the Promised Land.

## Powers and Abilities

Moses is known to be the greatest prophet of God, as when looking at a manifestation of God himself before his eyes, unlike other prophets, Moses was not afraid. Showing that he really was worthy to serve as God's first writer to deliver His Word and deliver the Hebrews out of Egypt. The chaos that Moses caused in the Egyptian pantheon was so great that it is said that Egypt has never been the same since its passage through that place. He was known as "Terror of the gods", "Judge of the gods" and "destroyer of pantheons" for the enormous damage that was left by him in Egypt and the humiliation that the gods of Egypt underwent with each plague.

According to Kabbalistic legends, when Moses opened the Red Sea, what the Prophet did not only divide the sea into two halves, but he reversed all the water sources on the planet, making them go backwards, circumventing the laws of physics. In the 21st century, Moses was no longer allowed to use the Explicit Name of God as it was not his destiny to end the Trihexa. But, Moses remained with his staff, being able to perform countless other miracles for the planet.

However, most feats were accomplished through his staff and the Explicit Name of God. Without them, Moses is just an ordinary man.

* **Weather Manipulation**: It created a powerful hail and firestorm that destroyed much of Egypt.
* **Life and Death Manipulation**: He created a vast amount of locusts, frogs and flies to attack Ancient Egypt. He was also able to take the lives of the firstborn in Egypt through his staff.
* **Summoning**: ordes of frogs, gnats, flies and locusts.
* **Darkness Manipulation**: With his staff, he covered Ra's light with a dense darkness that was even possible to touch.
* **Supernatural Intelligence**: Moses has a great deal of knowledge about the universe, including events that humanity could never discover were it not for him, like God defeating the mighty Tehom at the beginning of time, illuminating the Darkness and separating it from the day. Even in the 21st century, Moses proved to be an inhumanly skilled kabbalist, claiming to have beheld "bare Adam Kadmon", besides having a great understanding of the Celestial Kabbalah that underlies and defines the physical world, having a complete and perfect knowledge of the structure of the universe.
* **Name of God**: Moses received the Explicit Name of God, as while the Name is uttered a person can spontaneously burst into combustion for being unworthy to say the Name of God, also end up entering a state of madness since no one can see the entire Universe at once without going crazy. Through the Name of God, Moses parted the Red Sea and was able to strike fear into the mightiest angels of the Creator.
	+ **Nigh-Omnipotence** (Through the Explicit Name): Can use the God's true name, the explicit name of God which allows an individual to channel His full essence and power in order to enter a state of "near-omnipotence," gaining control over the fundamental logical neccessity of the cosmos embodied by the Supreme Being and obtaining full power over all of Creation.
	+ **Nigh-Omniscience** (Through the Explicit Name): It has the angels as part of its consciousness, including the seraphim who are the closest angels to the Throne of God and have a vast knowledge about creation, It was because of this that he gained knowledge about the wars primordials, thus passing these events into the Torah in a way that was understandable to people of the time, like the battle between God and The Darkness. He has an extraordinary knowledge of the creation and about the functioning of the Universe.

## History

Moses was born during a time when the Hebrew people, or Israelites, were enslaved in Egypt. The Pharaoh, fearing the growth of the Hebrew population, ordered the genocide of male Hebrew infants by having them thrown into the Nile River.

Moses' mother, Jochebed, took great risks to protect her son. She hid him for three months, but when she could no longer keep him concealed, she devised a plan to save his life. She placed Moses in a basket made of papyrus, coated it with tar and pitch to make it waterproof, and set it among the reeds by the bank of the Nile River. Moses' sister watched over him from a distance.

As fate would have it, the basket floated down the river and eventually reached the entrance to the Pharaoh's palace. This event sets the stage for Moses' remarkable journey, as he would be discovered by the Pharaoh's daughter and raised in the royal household, ultimately becoming a central figure in the liberation of the Israelites from slavery.

Queen Bithia, identified as the Pharaoh's daughter in the Midrash, discovered the infant Moses in a basket floating in the Nile River. She adopted him and raised him within the Egyptian royal family, alongside his adopted brother.

One fateful day, Moses witnessed an Egyptian slave-master brutally mistreating an elderly Hebrew, leading him to kill the oppressor in defense of the Hebrew. Fearing retribution, Moses fled to Midian and found himself on Mount Horeb, where he encountered The Angel of the Lord speaking to him from a burning bush, which he considered the Mountain of God.

God, through the burning bush, sent Moses back to Egypt with a mission: to demand the release of the Israelites from their enslavement. Moses expressed his insecurity about his speaking abilities, so God allowed his brother, Aaron, to act as his spokesperson.

Following a series of Ten Plagues, Moses led the Israelites in the Exodus out of Egypt, parting the Red Sea in the process. They eventually settled at Mount Sinai, where Moses received the Ten Commandments from God. After 40 years of wandering in the desert, Moses passed away on Mount Nebo, within sight of the Promised Land.

After his death, Satan tried to capture Moses' body, presumably to possess him and discover the secret behind Shem HaMephorash and use his staff, forcing Archangel Michael to interfere and battle the Devil. Due to the devil's enormous power, Michael could not defeat him, so the Archangel said "may the Lord rebuke you" and the manifestation of God caused the devil to flee. Michael then buries Moses' body and his staff so that no one will find him again until the Great Day.

Moses returns to Earth during the Apocalypse, this time alongside the prophet Elijah, to fight the Trihexa.

## Myths and Legends

Moses is a significant figure in Judaism and Christianity, where he is regarded as a key prophet and central to the Old Testament narrative. In Islam, he is known as Musa and is considered one of the great prophets of Islam, with his story appearing in the Quran. Moses is recognized in the Bahá'í Faith as well, where he is honored as a Manifestation of God, one of the Divine messengers sent to guide humanity.

Moses' importance and influence extend beyond these faiths, as his story and teachings have left a lasting impact on various religious and cultural traditions worldwide.

Moses is usually credited as the author of the first five books of the Bible, known as the Torah, also called the Pentateuch. However, there are no historical records outside the Bible that confirm the existence of Moses. If we consider the existence of Moses as historical, the Torah would have been written between 1,400 or 1,220 BCE. Current historians believe that the Torah may have been written between 900 to 500 BCE.

## Trivia

* The meaning of their name in the Apocalypse may be the same as that of Daniel, which is "the Lord is my judge", which refers to the fact that they are in the final judgment.
* Although called the God Slayer, Moses never killed any God. However, many deities agree that such a title is worthy of the scar he left on Egypt and its gods forever, even as a mere mortal.
* The story of Moses bears a coincidental similarity to the concept of a cyclical journey called the Hero's Journey.
