 into this so we can move. As I said before, even though I have not been the best about it, we are going to move quickly as we go forward. Problem is last week, we kind of took a little step backwards and we went slower, slower than I thought we would on last week, but that's okay. Just more time in that portion of the word. But as we pick back up, we're going to start back up in chapter seven. We're going to work our way up into, and I don't know what's going to open my eye right now, but we're going to work our way up to the law. Now, remember what I said before, as we look at the scriptures, we're only going to deal with where we are right now. So let's keep in mind what we're seeing, what we have seen, and what we're seeing right now. Moses is now speaking. He's been speaking, however, in the past. He has been speaking about what he was told, told to who, told by God. So everything that he was told was told correctly and how he gave it to us. He gave it to us correctly. That being stated, there are some truths that we should have gotten, how God is, how he exists and so forth, how he deals with us. And thus far, we have all of Genesis to work with. We have Job to work with. And we have just the first, so far the first seven chapters of Exodus. However, we spoke about being able to use not just the books in chronology, as we're going through this, but also there are these complementary books. And so you've seen before, we talked about Leviticus and Deuteronomy being complementary books to the law. And so as we go into that, as we start talking about the law, we'll start bringing up aspects from Leviticus as well as Deuteronomy. We won't get as much into it this week as we will next week, because we're still going to deal with them coming out of Egypt, which Leviticus and Deuteronomy don't really cover that. But in terms of the law, we're going to look at how the law was brought about. We're going to also talk about what the law, the intention of the law is. There are four things we need to think about in regards to the law, its intention, but also we need to think about what the law does not do, what the intention of it is not. And this is going to help us as we go forward. So I mentioned before this literal, grammatical, historical hermeneutic. We're going to see all three of those again in play. And we're going to point those out how we can look at the literal wording. As a matter of fact, even if a word comes up and it's an idiom, or if it's a metaphor, a figure of speech, even using this hermeneutic, we'll also see that it's going to make just perfect sense. Okay, this can't be taken literally. So how do we take it? Well, we take it how we would take it any other way as a figure of speech. We're going to see some grammatical issues pop up, which we have been in the past, but we're also going to look at some historical aspects of this hermeneutic because so far, as we're using this, and even as I've kind of pushed it on you, you all are coming up with the exact same conclusions. Rarely do we see other than someone that comes on who wants to come on and make their point without even paying attention to what we're doing. Rarely have I seen any of you deviate from others. We all tend to look at the scriptures the exact same way. So that being the case, we put it back on the screen again. We're going to use this chart as well. As a matter of fact, this is when we begin to start having to use this chart. So if you make a statement, we've stated before, you have to earn it and you can only earn it based off of what we've covered thus far. Well, we will not go through a lot of Deuteronomy or Leviticus. However, if there's something that comes up, the assumption is we've already been told what's happened in Leviticus as well as Deuteronomy. So if there's something that comes up and you want to bring that, you've earned the right by the mere fact that these are complementary books. If we're anywhere in Exodus, you've earned the right to bring that up now. Granted, everything that's in Exodus hasn't the first portion of Exodus have not been covered in Leviticus. But just so we don't muddy up the waters and have too much confusion, anytime that you want to invoke Leviticus or Deuteronomy throughout this, that's perfectly fine. Okay, so now let's go ahead and jump into it. Let's go to Leviticus. Let me move my notes out of the way. Matter of fact, let me click on something and do it this way. There we go. Let's go to, I said Leviticus, let's go to Genesis. Wow, Exodus chapter 7. And now this isn't him. And I'm not going to read all of this, but I want to point a few things out. So we're going to read the first, the first seven verses of this. Then the Lord said, this is obviously God has spoken to Moses. He's told them what he is going to do. Remember, he's also stated, God has stated, we covered this last week, that God has stated, no matter what happens, no matter what signs are done, what is God going to do to Pharaoh? Remember, God said that he will harden Pharaoh's heart. So even if it comes back and we see that Pharaoh also hardens his heart, it's only because or after God has initially began to harden his heart. Now, was Pharaoh heart, was Pharaoh's heart hardened before? Sure. Just like every other human being that's born, we have a hard heart, a hardened disposition against God. That part is understood, but what God is doing is something extra on top of that to make sure that Pharaoh does not relinquish. We're going to see why God hardens their heart. Remember, this is all because, this is all because of some guy, some, some, some Joe, some Joe had a dream, literally some Joe, Joseph had a dream. Why did Joseph have a dream? Because some guy named Abraham, Abraham, dare to ask God, how will I know? I believe you. I don't believe you that much, Lord. How's it going to be? I don't even have a kid. How is it going to be that I'm going to have all these heirs? He's a sentence to be a great nation. How is that going to be? And so what was God's promise to him? Know that you'll die at an old age and be buried with your fathers, but your people will be so generous or slaves in a land for 100 years when they come out, they're going to come out with great possessions. And so Joseph has a dream, goes down to, to Egypt because his brother Gels of that dream, he's still able to interpret these dreams. And so when he's cast into the deepest, darkest cell, I'm, I'm adding more to it. But when he's cast into jail, into the inner jail, he's able to interpret a dream for a baker and a cup holder and the butcher and the candlestick maker and everyone else. But then Pharaoh has a dream and is founded out that, that Joseph can interpret the dream. And so now he's made number two in all of Egypt. And that's when his family come during this famine, they, they, they flourish, they grow, they stay in Egypt, which they probably shouldn't have done in hindsight, but again, it was prophesied and they are put in slavery. And then after 40 years, they come out here, we, here we are now. Moses has spoken with God face to face. We covered this last week, which is why we took a little too long, that the person that was in the midst of the bush was the angel of the Lord, the Lord God I am, which is, which can be said two ways, which can be said from God, from God standpoint, from him, AKA, which, or AKA, which is I am, or Yahweh, which is also I am. So we know who God was speaking to, wrapped in fire while still his holy presence is in, is in heaven, while his spirit is all over the earth. That sounds like what we say the Trinity is, even though I cannot use the term Trinity, because we haven't earned that term. We don't know anything about the Trinity. We don't even know anything about Jesus Christ yet. Don't know about Jesus. The spirit has not been called the Holy Spirit yet. So we hadn't gotten it yet, but we will. Now we're caught up. So now let's go to Exodus seven. Then the Lord said to Moses, see I make you as God. And this is where the first portion of it, this as God, see to you I make. And here's this word right here. I'm sorry, wait a second, as there it is. Uh, to you, I'm sorry, you are to him as God to Pharaoh. This word right here, I told you we're going to use a literal grammatical historical hermeneutic, or here's where the grammatical portion comes in. Uh, you are, you will be, I will make to you. This word right here is the word Natan to make. Uh, you, we see the, uh, the polynomial suffix, which is to you afterwards. So I make, not, not, this is why I don't like pronouncing Hebrew. Not, not, not a coup, not a taqa. Ni ta taqa, means that the car, that's how you say that. The cop part that you heard me say at the end is just right here. The cop part is a predominant suffix. So I make you, then the word Elohim, and then right here, this is the word for Pharaoh or Pharaoh, but this word before Le which is two. Why is that important? Because if someone comes and says well see he is God, no he's not making God. He has not made Moses God. He said you will be like God to Pharaoh. That's how they're saying that's the grammatical portion that we use. We understand that there are rules to, you all laugh at my pronouncing that word, Hebrew is difficult sometimes to pronounce because no one speaks that way. By the way, we always say that when we're studying that we all need a spit shield because the word there's a lot of guttural pronunciation and a lot of so when I studied Hebrew my goal was to learn how to read it not to say it even though there are people that do speak Hebrew today but that being the case the grammatical portion comes into play here so that no one can say that yeah see Jesus is like a God even though we hadn't gotten to Jesus yet or this angel of the Lord is like a God no we can differentiate with the wording he either is God or is like God or as God in this case to him so see I make you as God to Pharaoh and your brother Aaron shall be your prophet the one that's going to be given the revelation you shall speak all that I command you and your brother Aaron shall speak to Pharaoh that he let the sons of Israel go out of his land but I won't know what he says again but I will harden Pharaoh's heart that I may multiply my signs and my wonders in the land of Egypt so why is he going to harden his heart as he says so that I can multiply my signs and my wonders and there's even a greater reason why he's going to do that so understand he's hardening Pharaoh's heart for a purpose he could turn Pharaoh's heart right now and then everyone is let go but there's a reason why a couple things are going to happen we're going to see this one and we've talked about this on last week so I'm not revealing anything new but one he is going to deal harshly with them he's also going by the way his name is going to be made known when he deals with Egypt God's name is going to be made known throughout the land others are going to hear about as a matter of fact as we go further we're going to see that other people have heard about the exploits of God through his people also he's going to bring about a way to bring out more signs to show who he is for who not just for just Egypt before the children of Israel and also also that that word will also get spread about and then thirdly as importantly as he said before that they will be given great wealth as they leave so let's go and continue first four when Pharaoh did not listen to you when Pharaoh does not listen to you then I will lay my hand on Egypt and bring out my host my people the sons of Israel from the land of Egypt by great judgment so this is what he said he's going to do the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord you hear that this is something also you need to understand this guys when God shows himself you just say it again when God shows himself God is not like us he didn't he didn't waste a moment you will know that I am the Lord not me but him you will know that I am the Lord every time that you see God move in the Bible which also extends to modern day to 2023 and then 2024 2025 and 2030 and going forward when God moves people know it this is not a guess this is not maybe when God moves who knows it everybody the non-believers the believers his people and those that are not his people why is that important because people are going to tell you today that God has moved but no one saw it that we don't see that that it's not like God I want you to know that I the Lord am God so he says verse six as Moses and Aaron did did it as the Lord commanded them thus they did Moses was 80 years old and Aaron 83 years old when they spoke to Pharaoh and that's where I'll stop in in chapter seven Moses is not a spring chicken he's 80 years old Aaron 83 years old these are not small people these are some old folk these people are advanced these are past their AARP card getting numbered that's their their past that time so that's important and so God is strengthening them up and using them now I want to skip past chapter eight and go to nine chapter nine let's go to verse 22 I won't cover all of the signs that God is going to perform he performs a sign uh Pharaoh his heart is is hardened he gets he sees what's happening then he almost kind of relents okay fine and then his heart gets hardened again you can see this pattern as a matter of fact we're going to see see this here and I want you to see the kind of this what what Pharaoh is going through the same thing we go through so chapter nine verse 22 now the Lord said to Moses stretch out your hand toward the sky that hail may fall so now we're at the point to where this sign is going to happen so that hail may fall on all the land of Egypt on man and on beast and on every plant of the field throughout the land of Egypt Moses stretched out his staff toward the sky and the Lord sent thunder and hail and fire ran down to the earth that is some sort of a storm could you imagine waking up what do we do we check the if you got to get out and travel you check the weather man you see what's happening and they tell you in the forecast today thunderstorm we're used to throwing the thunderstorm but hail now this hail is unlike hail we've ever seen and there's going to be fire too I think I'm calling for work today matter of fact I'm going to take the week off and so look what's happening so thunder hail and fire ran down to the earth you would think that would be enough to change Pharaoh's mind so there was hail and fire flashing continually in the midst of the hail very severe such as not being in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation the hail struck all that was in the field through all the land of Egypt both man and beast the hail also struck every plant of the field and shattered every tree of the field this has got to be disheartening right here not that the hail was coming down and destroying you but notice who the hail wasn't hidden only in the land of Goshen where the sons of Israel were there was no hail wait a minute so we over here on the good side of the track in the suburbs and the mansions is hailings coming down but over in the slave quarters there is no hail verse 27 then Pharaoh sent Moses and Aaron sent for them and said to them I have sinned this time you think the Lord is the righteous one and I and my people are the wicked one okay make supplication to the Lord for there has been enough of God's thunder and hail and I will let you go and you shall stay no longer in other words you can go get out Moses said to him as soon as I go out of the city I will spread out my hands to the Lord the thunder will cease and there will be no hail no longer so what does he do Moses goes out stop verse 32 I'm sorry verse 30 but as for you and your servants I know that you do not yet fear the Lord you're saying what you're saying but you're not really there yet uh verse 32 but the wheat and the spelt were not ruined for they were ripe and late so Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh and spread out his hands to the Lord and the thunder and the hail ceased and rain no longer poured on the earth but when Pharaoh saws how we do when Pharaoh saw that the thunder had ceased he sinned again and hardened his heart he and his servants Pharaoh's heart was hardened and he did not let the sons of Israel go just as the Lord had spoken through Moses so once he had some relief you know what I still can't stand you jim you Israelites nope you ain't going anywhere and and that's kind of isn't it kind of our pattern as well we we do the same thing we act the same way soon as soon as things get a little bit better we forget about when we were crying we forget we forget about our despair so we're not on not only are we learning about God but we're also learning about mankind which by the way you don't need Pharaoh to show you about how we are anyway so now let's go to chapter 11 we're moving right along so if you have not first of all if you have not read this stuff before shame on you this is go watch Ewell Brenner and Charlton Heston catch up on this would I say that this this interesting question would I say that God spoke with COVID well what did we read in this reason why I'm answering this question it might look like hey that has nothing to do with what we're talking about but it does what did we read about Job when Job says that God is the one who gives life and takes away life whatever happens is at his pleasure or at his allowance nothing happens without having to go through his it's not like God looks up and say wait a second what's happening over here with COVID no now it might seem bad we're the ones that place a great emphasis on how a man dies God just with God they just die you got to go now he might die from cancer he might die from a heart attack he might die in his sleep might die in a car accident fall off a fall off a truck bed who knows might die from COVID might die from a fire there's a lot of different ways but ultimately when God takes a life he takes it's him who's taking life when life is taken it's God can any revelation can any relation be associated to no harm coming to Israel to the to the Israelites and to the saints during the tribulation all hell is breaking yeah you know what okay I said something on last week I think the week before last you're going to see that so so matter of fact let me let me mark that I'm gonna come back to that question I'm gonna come back to that question because we're going to answer the question we answered last week I think but I want to answer it again in just a little bit there is something that you can glean from that something that you can glean remember we said we said this before you want to apply the scriptures as best you can there are two ways to apply there's a primary application and then there's a secondary application you're going to see both a primary application to what God well you know what primary application what he's doing with Israel and then primary or secondary application to us as well the lines are going to be a little bit blurred based on the question that you're asking I disagree with what uh with you when you say that what divides the church is our biblical interpretation I think it is our understanding of the Holy Spirit that does what do you get your understanding of the Holy Spirit where do you get it from you get it from how you read the scriptures that's where trust me every you could name something that divides us that it cause a problem in the scriptures I mean cause a problem in the body that doesn't have a genesis in how we read the scriptures not one thing not sin not even the types of sin not even how we understand the Holy Spirit there's nothing that there's nothing that come because what does God place above everything else as far as we're concerned his word his word is up there and what does he give us he tells us to study his word and to get understanding so this it it does matter so anyway let's go back and finish now the Lord said to Moses one more plague here it comes guys one more plague I will bring on Pharaoh and on and on Egypt after that he will let you go from here when he lets you go he will surely drive you out from here completely speak now in the hearing of the people that each man asked from his neighbor and each woman from her neighbor for articles of silver and articles of gold so what is he saying go ask these people for some gold and silver could you imagine during the the civil war that the north sent out letters made its way to the slaves in the south and said go to your masters and tell them give us go give us some gold and silver give us some money we're getting ready to leave not going to happen but remember what God has prophesied is going to happen to them so verse three the Lord gave the people favor in the sites of the Egyptians so as they go ask them they gave he gave them favor uh why well they're sick of having hail and flies and frogs and stuff they're sick of all of this Pharaoh's the ones tripping they're sick of this furthermore the man Moses himself was greatly esteemed in the land of Egypt both in the site of pharaoh's servants and in the site of the people Moses said thus says the Lord about it midnight i am going out into the land of Egypt in the midst of Egypt and all the firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die me my brother was reading this one time and i said you know what i'm good i'm good i'm good you jokers you jokers are the one that are in trouble not me i'm not the firstborn so it says and all the firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die from the firstborn of pharaoh who sits on his throne even the firstborn of the slave girl who is behind the millstone all the firstborn of the cattle as well you mean even besie all these animals have to the first wow moreover there shall be a great cry in all the land of Egypt such as there has not been before and such as shall never be again but against any of the sons of israel a dog will not even bark whether against man or beast that you may understand how the lord makes a distinction between Egypt and Israel listen to what he just said there won't be a no one will have any any question about the distinction between you and Egypt you and or the Hebrew word mitzvah no one will have a distinction the dogs won't even trip on you the if if if if phyto wants to bark he's going to be barking at them not at you all these your servants will come down to me verse eight and bow themselves before me saying go out you and all the people who follow you and after that i will go out and he went out before i mean from pharaoh in hot anger the lord said to moses pharaoh will not listen to you so that my wonders will be here it is my wonders will be multiplied in the land of Egypt moses and eram performed all these wonders before pharaoh yet the lord hardened pharaoh's heart and he did not let the sons of israel go out of the land now the lord said we won't go in too deep into the Passover we're going to have a special study on the Passover later but just then right now we're going we're going to talk about it but we're not going to have too deep of a study over the Passover otherwise we'll be here forever here we have the institution of the Passover he says now the lord said to moses and eram in the land of Egypt this month shall be the beginning of month for you so this very first month for these Jews this is the month of nesan or some would even say abib in this very what i'm going to add in this very first month this for you guys this is the marking the beginning of your calendar so in this month shall be the beginning of months for you it is to be the first month of the year to you i don't care about anybody else but to you it's the first month speak to all the congregation of Israel saying on the 10th of this month they are each to take a lamb for themselves according to their father's household a lamb for each household now if the household is too small it might just be a man and a woman or a widow and a child or a man and his child whoever whatever uh if the household is too small for a lamb then he and his neighbor nearest to his house are to take one according to the number of the persons with them according to what each man should eat you are to divide the lamb your lamb shall be an unblemished male a year old you may take it from the sheep or from the goats so it can be a sheep it can be a goat a lamb a male one year old without spot of blemish you shall keep it until the 14th day of the same month then the whole assembly of the congregation of israel is to kill it at twilight now i won't go over all that other than to say that we know it's going to happen it's going to take the blood of the goat and put it on uh the doorpost of the people matter of fact let's go ahead and drop down to there's something i want to read out of verse 35 and then go from there i think i want to read out of 35 oh yeah now after all this has happened verse 35 now the sons of israel had done according to the word of god or i'm sorry the word of moses for they had requested from the egyptians articles of silver and articles of gold and clothing and the lord had given the people favor in the sight of the egyptians so that they that they let them have their request thus they plundered the egyptians which is what god said was going to happen now the son of israel journeyed from ramsey's to suck up about 600 000 men just the men well they're women and there are babies there's children so you do the math it's hard but you do the just in your mind's eye if if half the men had wives that would be 900 000 and if those children if those women and men if half of them had at least a child that's now we're now we're at 1.2 million do y'all see how we could now we don't know how many but we know what we're talking about a million maybe well over a million are you with me it's a lot of folks starting off from 70 now to a million but even going back further started off with just one one man and one woman an old man an old woman who laughing at god with one child that's how this all started if god isn't god if you can't see how awesome he is then i just don't know what to say a mixed multitude also went up with him along with flocks and herds a very large number of livestock they bake the so what is a mixed multitude anybody know what is a mixed multiple what is this what is a mixed multitude we don't talk about this a lot do we but in the mixed multitude what's also included in the mixed multitude there are other people other than these jews that are also joining with them now doesn't say if these are egyptians they're like you know what i'm getting out of dodge at you guys y'all go and i'm going to i would say it's probably likely that there were some egyptians that went with them to but the word is is really kind of some rabble some extra folks some hangarons or whatever it could be some foreigners who are just kind of hanging about so whether they be egyptians or just other folks that's hanging around everybody in the land of egypt weren't either just it wasn't that you only had two people in egyptians egyptians and then uh the jews you also had sojourners this is a big land so other folks have come through and they started going with them so even this mixed multitude also went up with them along with flocks and herds a very large number of livestock remember they also these jews also had their own lifestyle amen that's how you ought to do it i'm going with the winters who whoever whose side are you on whose side i was winning that you don't you don't have to be a genius that way just all right i can see which way the winds are blowing i'm going with them and that's what they did matter of fact there's a couple of people's matter of fact one somebody in particular whose name is literally written in the genealogy of jesus who did just that i know we don't know who jesus is yet but there's somebody else very important to the story who does just that anyway they had their own livestock as well but they had even more of a livestock and i want you all to kind of just get the picture of this so now what i want to do is i want to jump now now we're going to jump to chapter 13 chapter 13 what verse i want to go to 13 i think let's go 13 i think 17 i think yeah now as they're leaving y'all know the story has happened got the Passover the blood on the doorpost god sees the blood and then your household is spared all the jews did so none of the egyptians did so they suffered get out something's going to happen now now god is leading them out so let's fast forward to chapter 13 verse 17 and look what he says and by the way do you know i hadn't forgot your question we're going to deal with your question just a little bit canon thank you or canon adam thank you for so much i appreciate that are all hebrus considered jews uh are all hebrus considered jews that's a good question what do you all think what what do you guys think do you all think that all hebrus are considered jews the answer is yes the answer is yes um the first person that's ever called a hebrus was abraham and so his descendants who are all who are jewish are the same now sometimes the names become more synonymous where the term jew really comes from is these jews hebrus israelites when they are in the land and then the time out we haven't gotten yet but let me just go ahead and make this a point because there might be a little bit of confusion in this uh because at that point in time they knew who were jews who were hebrus but the land gets divided up the term jew comes from judah now we do have judah but what happens was as the land gets divided we'll see this even more so but between israel and judah the northern kingdom the southern kingdom as the as the uh exiles begin to take place and Babylon comes in and starts conquering these people they hit the north first and then so what do these jews do these israelites do they start bringing they start coming down south to judah and it becomes synonymous that all of these israels are called all all these israelites are called those of judah or jews that's where it comes from hebrus is a language but it's also a people as well it's also uh a people so just like english is a language but it also refers to a people um spanish is a language but it's also a people now canadian is also a language too i'm kidding now when verse 17 when pharaoh had let the people go god did not lead them by the way of the land of the philistines so who lead who's leading them god is leading them important let's these are important facts now that we're going to start seeing what we've been seeing important facts but who is leading israel out god is leading them that's important that's important that's important god is leading them out he led them by the way of the land of the philistines even though it was nearer he did i'm sorry did not lead them by the way of the land he did not take the shortest route which is by the land of the philistines even though it was near for god said the people might change their minds when they see war and return to egypt god knows his people these are these are some fickle people these people they wow just and we're going to see them in just a second which you already know the story hence god led the people around by the way of the wilderness to the red sea again god is trying to put on a demonstration he's getting ready to a demonstration and the sons of israel went up in marital array i'm sorry marshal array from the land of egypt in other words there's an order to how they're walking some of you guys i know carol can testify this carol knows this carol was in the military our military listen as bad as sometimes dysfunctional as our government is when our that is when i say our the nicest of america when our military has its mind to do something it's a whale it's a whale oil machine now what's funny is wouldn't ever tell you guys my story about how i was in the army and how i got out it's a goofy story from a for a goofy kid at the time even though you got a bunch of goofy folks in the army and you're like wow that we gave we gave this guy a gun we gave this guy the ability to push some buttons the way it runs when the military wants to do something it can be as precise as anything like a whale oil machine to move tons millions of tons of machinery and thousands of men and women that same sort of precision we think about is there is how he's moving them out in this martial raid from the land they there's an orderly fashion could you imagine could you imagine being because people walk people are watching them leave can you imagine watching them leave there's an orderly fashion to them moving there's an orderly fashion to their flocks moving to their wagons all the because remember then i just walk and just you know like a hobo with a stick and a nap sack time they've got great possessions so they've got to move this stuff they've got wagons they've got carts they've got animals to carry this stuff they've got people other folks have joined in and it's a whale oiled machine so i like that sam in thank you for the super champion says i got my bread in my pocket which by the way by the way sam thank you because we're gonna talk about bread in a second anyway did not order that but that's right on time but anyway so here's what happens they're moving people see this so it's easy to see why even why even the foreigner the soldier would also say you know what i'm going with you guys one because you also got some money on you too god sure i'm sorry verse 19 moses took the bones of joseph with him remember that that's important because god still does care about care about joseph moses took the bones of joseph because joseph asked him to joseph when i died take my bones with me remember he makes that statement for he had made the son of israel salamis where god will surely take care of you and you shall carry my bones from here with you so even joseph prophesies about what's going to happen afterwards then they set out from sukkah and camp in ethem on the edge of the wilderness the lord was going before them in a pillar of fire wait a second who was going before them remember god was leading them out but then the bible just tells us right here the lord and we have this word yahweh the lord i am is leading he's going out before them out in a pillar of cloud by day to leave them and and then a pillar of fire by night we see god showing up as fire or in the in the midst of the fire here just like with the burning bush also in this cloud which we are also going to see later god is with his people we're going to see him again we're going to see god show up mightily but now remember god doesn't play let me just say this again if god determines to show himself he determines for you to see him i i said that again let me let me move in closer i could if i was if i had better control of my of my components here i could make this thing zoom in for for dramatic effect let me just say it again if god intends to show himself he intends for you to see him are you with me and if he intends for you to see him he intends for you to get why he's showing himself and he is going to do it vividly and then what are we going to do thank you uh uh lori i appreciate that thank you so much also uh robert twosy robert twosy interesting robert twosy it's like a prison name robert twosy thank you so much for such as well and you too again uh lori i thank you guys for the generous support but is that a prison name robert twosy i'm i'm kidding i'm kidding but what god means to do the people will not have an excuse we know the story and so as we're looking forward to what we already know as we're keep this in mind let's think about what's happening guys try to put yourself in their in their shoes god is doing this awesome thing and they are in a second going to god did you bring us a grumble complain wine murmur god i have a personal thing thank you your god i appreciate that i have this is me personally i do not like complaining i've been told i'm not compassionate when people go going through probably so probably so i have now i i will show compassion if you make me i don't like complaining i deal with where things are all right now it is now let's let's let's move i get i do get though complaints i really do i i really do but this level of complaint is almost blasphemous matter of fact it's not blast not almost it is you just saw what god is getting ready to do even we hadn't gotten there we're gonna you just saw god bring all these plagues all these things the first born is struck and yours aren't you leave with these great wealth you talk about as we say nowadays it's a come up you guys are blessed you're so blessed even even probably some Egyptians are walking with you some foreigners will walk with some rabble you got cattle that you never had you know what he you know what god probably i'm pretty sure god blessed him with some cults i'm pretty sure you got you guys you guys inhabit now you got some you got some camels you got some donkeys you got some goats some sheep and you got some cults and you got some silver and gold and you're going to complain you just you just saw that you see god you literally see god leading you out by fire and by cloud and you know what's god and you're going i didn't earn that yet cd said i didn't earn it i'll earn it in a second wait a second i did didn't we talk about the cults last week yeah we did i have earned that cg stop hating anyway so you see the lord you literally see the lord it'd be one thing for moses to tell you about how he met the met the lord in this burning bush in this fire but then you get to see it i'm gonna make this make sense a secondary application in just a little bit about us because i made a statement earlier in the week on a video about applying things properly when god says that i know the plans that i have for you and folks said no that's for me okay fine if you want to be for you well then then when he brings you back into the land or takes you out of the land make that for you make all the bad things that isra is going through make that apply for you too but there are some things that we can glean from our for ourselves a secondary application and there's a big secondary application we're going to get out of this as well so let's continue he says verse 22 he did not take away the pillar of cloud by day nor the pillar of fire by night from before people why is that important so the people will always have you're literally seeing god his fullness no but you are literally able to see hey that's god right there that's god right there uh this is a good question i do have a video um uh i forgot what it's called i know if you type in smart christians um hebrew and jew i think it should i cover the difference between hebrew jew and israel i i covered that so if that's what you're talking about i do i do have that and i probably should have um had you guys look at that before because this we're going to keep using these terms you might wonder should i be using these terms interchangeably now remember though most of speaking to them they understand who they are they know that they are israel even though they're not in israel they know where the term came from they know that they are israelite they're sons of jacob sons of israel children of israel they know they are he wrote they know they are jew but we because again we're not them we're trying to put ourselves in their position we may not get that but they we they they take it for granted we don't so um i think that's what it's called though i think that's another video anyway let's go back to it god wants to know that he's before them verse four i mean chapter 14 verse one now the lord spoke to mozo saying tell the sons of israel to turn back and camp before p hurry off ha ha here i between migdal and the sea you shall camp in front of bail zefron opposite it by the sea for pharaoh will say to the sons of israel they are wandering aimlessly in the land the wilderness has shut them in thus i will harden god says i will harden pharaoh's heart and he will chase after them and i will be honored through pharaoh and all his army and the Egyptians will know that i am the lord and they did so look what he just said guys he says i god will harden pharaoh's heart and in doing so what will he do he will chase after them now look what he says though i will be honored this word right here is the word kebab it means to be it means heavy when we say that we are going to honor him we are it we're literally thinking about how emphatic he is in our lives how heavy he is do y'all remember this was carol and lisa tyra a couple of you ladies a little bit older than me but this was about the time when we were younger they used to say groovy but they all used they always also used to say that's heavy man that's heavy do you remember that term back in the 70s and the 60s is where it came out of that's heavy oh that's that's heavy i'm sorry tyra i'm sorry but listen we're not we're not spring chickens anymore let's let's let's walk around and be proud of us not being young we can be young in in in heart though but they used to use this term that's heavy that's heavy right same connotation you realize something wow that's heavy man that's heavy now we'll say that's deep that's deep but that's heavy when we honor god that he's heavy god is saying i will be honored through who through pharaoh and all his army what are you getting ready to do jive turkey there above that of jive turkey um god is going to be honored through pharaoh and his army and the egyptians will know that i am the lord in the story we don't have that to be the case in the scripture doesn't say so but i almost think it's probably true do you all remember the movie the 10 commandments charlton heston is moses plays the parts of moses is that is that uh list taylor is list taylor is that support is that is that i think that's moses wife in the movie and then yule brunner um is pharaoh now we know the story is wrong because pharaoh has a bald head that that's not the case pharaoh clearly had hair but something that he says that makes you it was let's say okay thanks dutch it was list taylor something he said that's not actually in the bible makes me wonder did he really say that though he said that his god is god i bet you i bet you that's that he did say that i'm willing to bet that he probably said so not maybe not that way but he he recognized that god is god because god just said so he just said that the egyptians will know that i am the lord and they did so the brady bus things were groovy when the king of egypt that's pharaoh was told that the people who fled pharaoh and all his servants had changed uh had a change of heart toward the people and they said what is this we have done that we have let israel go from serving so anyway so he's changed their hearts he's changed their hearts uh so he made his chariot ready and took his people with him wait a minute wait a minute pharaoh you're going to mistake mistake so he made his chariot ready and took his people with him and he took 600 select chariots and all the other chariots of egypt with officers over them all over all of them the lord hardened the heart of pharaoh the king of egypt and he chased after the sons of israel as the sons of israel were going out boldly so y'all see what's happening let's move down a little bit to where where do i want to go out well not too far let's go to verse two as pharaoh drew near the sons of israel looked and behold the egyptians were marching after them and they became very frightened so the sons of israel cried out to the lord here's the problem that i have bothers me bothers me the people turned and they saw pharaoh coming first of all everybody didn't see pharaoh coming you know how i know that all of the people did not see pharaoh coming because we're talking about over a million people i'm in the dallas area now there's what seven million people in the dfw area in the metroplex but just in dallas proper over a million people if we all got together i couldn't see from one end to the other so i know they couldn't see i know all the people couldn't see so the word gets put around or maybe they could see but do you know what the people also could see whether they heard about pharaoh coming or they actually saw pharaoh coming who could the people see i remember the bible says who could the people see he was he was present before the people both day and night thank you sheila they could see god they could see god but they didn't focus on seeing god they focused on seeing pharaoh army verse 11 and they said to moses is it because that there were no graves in egypt that you have taken us away to die in the wilderness are you serious what what enough graves are you we could have died in egypt you want to bring us out here to die out here why have you dealt with us in this way bringing us out of egypt something that that uh was supposedly said by harriet tubman you know the one they called little moses she would leave people as she's leading them out of the south to the north if they began to complain or if they were slowing them down she would it was it was said that she would leave them or she would shoot them um she would say to them she said that uh i would have taken a lot more out of captivity if they didn't know that they would no longer slaves in other words they still had this little slave mentality and so they couldn't keep going and we see this here now fortunately for the for these jews harriet tubman didn't leave them fortunately for them they got the real moses and so is it not the word that we spoke to you in egypt saying leave us alone that we may serve the egyptians it's always somebody going who's going it's always somebody who will come and say i told you i told you i knew it i knew it i knew we should know when you first came and brought this trouble on us i said get away moses i knew it i knew it well then why did you stay why you could have stayed in egypt but that's that's how we do but most of the people do not fear stand by and what see the salvation of the lord by the way let me just put it up there do y'all see my highlight do you see what's highlighted right there while i drink my coffee do you all see what word is highlighted right there on the english side we have the word salvation on the hebrew side we have a word that's highlighted you don't even have to speak english i mean hebrew what do y'all think this word that's highlighted in the hebrew says what do y'all think this word that's highlighted in the hebrew actually says thank you jeff yeshua that's that word that's that word it's where we get the word salvation where we get the word deliverance can someone get alexander and isael on the phone for me some somebody get them on the phone so so they can see what true deliverance looks like someone get marcus rogers on the phone someone someone get lovia liars on the phone so they can see what true deliverance looks like all this wiggling and jiggling and blowing on folks and stomping and waving it i want you to see again when god intends to show his face he intends for you to see look at true stand by and see the salvation of the lord which he will accomplish for you today for the egyptians whom you have seen today you will never see them again so who he intends to set free that will be see free indeed there you robert 2z a man i like to see how you use that you see how robert did that heavy indeed heavy heavy man groovy man heavy man absolutely absolutely you guys are awesome by the way best chat on youtube without a question the lord will fight for you while you keep silent oh man we're not gonna make it we're guys i'm sorry we're not gonna make it to i'm i'm trying to get the chapters 19 20 21 22 and 23 i'm trying to get there that's white boy slang no it ain't no it ain't i told a guy i'm sorry off topic but i told a guy i was messing with a guy i was messing with a guy we were talking about working out and he goes to the gym and i was talking about you know i'm trying to i'm trying to get some equipment in the house so i could work out here it said uh i'm i'm picking on just mess with him he's a black guy and i said um we were talking about we just got through talking about the world and how sometimes we're blaming white folks for this and that or whatever and so we kind of playing along with it and i said you go to that white man's gym huh that yeah you go to that white man's gym don't you yeah you get in that white man's muscle me i'm getting black guys muscle it's just just funny so anyway yeah they but but in the 60s and 70s really it really wasn't it really wasn't a uh a white term no ever no black folks said groovy black folks said heavy black folks said out of sight now we said some other stuff right on what's happening so anyway but but you know what though i take it back though i take it back because there were white folks said the same thing too so but to this point god is getting glorified look what he says the lord will fight for you while you keep silent really we can just take verse 14 and turn that into a sermon the lord will fight for you while you shut the heck up the lord will fight for you if you keep your yap your trap shut zip it hush hush silence be quiet you can do it can go down one or two ways jews gentiles you christian you can go fight or i'll fight which do you want it you can fight or i'll fight i'll take god you can fight or i'll fight i'm gonna let god fight in the meantime if i'm gonna fight shut up spiritual gift of shut up shut it shutty hush it then the lord said moses to moses why are you crying out to me tell the sun now he's not saying why you moses but he's saying you all of you you in the plural i believe this is in plural let's make sure this is in the plural um no it's actually in the singular actually in the singular so he's but he's still meaning them as a whole why are you all white why y'all crying out to me tell the sons of israel to go for it hush up just keep moving i got this as for you moses lift up your staff and stretch out your hand your your hand over the sea and divide it and the sons of israel shall go through the midst of the sea on dry land we've covered this before you're not going through the the midst of the sea through mud you can't go through mud i don't i'm out you've got chariots you've got horses you've got stuff i don't want you guys get stuck in the mud so you can go through on dry land as for me behold look what he says look what god says i will harden the hearts of the egyptians so that they will go in after them and i will be there it is again this is where kabad i'll be i'll be made heavy far right far out out of sight groovy i'll be honored i'll get glory through pharaoh and all his army through his chariots and his horsemen then the egyptians will know that i am the lord when i am honored through pharaoh through his chariots and his horsemen look who shows up look at this name again the angel of the lord who had been going before the camp of israel stop for a second stop the presses who is going before the children of israel who's going before them dynamic we said dynamite dynamite who is going before the people the camp let me put on the screen the angel of the lord but wait a second wait a second i'm sorry i'm sorry the angel of god but i thought we just saw that it was the lord that went before them but then i thought we also said that god went before them some of you folks that want to deny what's right before your face won't you'll do it to your own detriment time out haven't earned this name yet because we don't know about a jesus yet we hadn't gotten to jesus but if you can't see that jesus is god and he's showing up here it's only because of your willful ignorance that's the only way we can take it guys the angel of god the angel of the lord the lord god is going before them and we're gonna see the angel of the lord because it's gonna tell us later on that the angel of the lord led them out i the lord have done so anyway who had been going now it's the same angel of god god the lord who had been going so it's not like they change some guy hey come take my place it's not like god was up at the front i'm tired here angel of god come take my place no he said who had been going before the camp of israel move now catch this picture catch this picture who had been going before them what did he do he moved behind them and the pillar of cloud moved from before them and stood behind them so it came between the camp of egypt and the camp of israel and there was the cloud along with the darkness yet it gave light at night thus the one did not come near the other all night here's what's happening the lord moves from being in front of them to being behind them opens up the sea they go through but the lord is behind them on this side is who the egyptians darkness but on this side they can see this side darkness this side they can see now i don't know if the people of israel of israel can look through the cloud and see it's dark so i don't i don't think that i don't know so it didn't tell us so but on this side darkness on this side of the lord liked i preached this one time before let me see if i can do it again let me see if i can do this again time out for a second let's just jump forward we're not we're not in the bible so anymore we're on something else i have to go there in the beginning was the word the word with god in the word was god in the word was god and he was in the beginning all things came into being through him and apart from him nothing came into being that was that has come into being in him was life and the life was the light of men the light shines in the darkness and the darkness did not comprehend it you know why i went there the reason why i went there is because when i go to this passage this passage honestly guys reminds me of what's happening the people in the dark don't get it on this side of the lord they just don't get it hardened hearts they just don't but those who are his people they see the light they get it he is the life as well as the light i know i didn't earn it but dawg i'm earning it now i'm earning now listen he is the light and there are just so many people don't don't you just feel bad for these people who are not in the light who are going to die in darkness but they will know they will know there's one thing at their death and throughout all eternity that i am the lord your god not me but him they are going to know he's god they are and god is going to do what get glory through them just like just like he did with these egyptians i just i just i saw that parallel thought yeah you know what but shame on them now what i want to do uh oh where's my there it is couldn't find my cursor let's continue then moses stretched at his hand over the sea and the lord swept the sea back by a strong east wind all night and turned the sea into dry land so that the waters were divided so so he's watching it happening and and it's happening it says all night and then the waters were divided and the land gets dried off big old blow dryer the sons of israel went through the midst of the sea on dry land and the waters were like a wall on them on their right and on their left so this big old wall of water and it's just dry land they're walking on then the egyptians took up the pursuit and all of pharaoh's horses his chariots and his horsemen went in after them into the midst of the sea y'all know the story and at the morning watch the lord look down on the army of the egyptians through the pillar of fire and cloud and brought the army of the egyptians into confusion i like that i you know what spider monk i never thought about that spider monkey says an aquarium can you yeah you know what i guess it was i guess that was a big old aquarium i guess that was good good noting by the way dino i have not forgotten about your question i'm getting to your question i'm getting to the answer to your question so have we ever talked about how the egyptians were brought in and they were brought into confusion they were brought into confusion huh because that's what it says he and the cloud and brought the i'm sorry through the cloud and brought the army of the egyptians into confusion he caused their chariots wheels to swerve and to make it's almost like like watching a movie caused their chariot wheels to swerve and he made them drive with difficulty so the egyptians said let us flee from israel for the lord is fighting for them against the egyptians then the lord said to moses stretch out your hand over the sea so that the waters may come back over the egyptians as they're getting it they're figuring this out let's come on y'all turn around let's get back let's go go go go go too late too late time for cleansing so moses stretched out his hand over the sea and the sea returned to his normal state at daybreak while the egyptians were fleeing right into it the lord overthrew the egyptians in the midst of the sea the waters returned and covered the chariot even pharaoh's entire army that had gone into the sea after them not even one of them remained but the sons of israel walked on dry land through the midst of the sea when that story gets out what do you do when that story gets out what do you know what if the jews are coming this way let's move out the way they can have it matter of fact i'm joining i'm i'm becoming jew i'm becoming jew thus the lord say who say the lord the lord i thought was god so you all follow me though you like not not shocking that we're going to see interchangeably the angel god angel the lord the lord god we're going to keep seeing this the lord saved egypt i mean israel that day from the hand of the egyptians and israel saw the egyptians dead on the seashore when israel saw the great power which the lord had used against the egyptians the people fear the lord and they believed in the lord and in his servant stop the presses stop the presses i want y'all to notice something because this comes up this comes up it's going to come up later i'm going to ask you guys who have a theological bent which might be the proper theological bent who have a doctrinal axe to grind which might be the right axe to grind it's fine i want you all to see this i want you all to see what he just said they feared the lord and they did what they believed pull this up so you can see it in hebron and they believe here's my question what caused these jews to believe important question what caused these jews to believe that moving mighty hand of god them seeing god move is what caused them to believe the reason i want to bring this up is because when someone is going time out i gotta make a point here because folks ask this question well wait a minute quarry wait a minute what about this what about that and we see people believing they do not have the holy spirit they do not have the holy spirit their hearts are not regenerated five seconds ago they were just getting upset and saying we should have stayed in Egypt oh by the way in five more seconds it was the same thing we're going to see throughout scripture mankind with the ability to believe but more than that the ability to stop believing because they are inconsistent they have bad hearts you're going to keep seeing this i want to alert you to this as it comes forward you're going to keep seeing this you're going to keep seeing man i believe and they really did believe they really did something caused it and then they stopped no no i wouldn't say no no uh spider monkey i wouldn't say mensual ascent either it's more than that they they because let's go back to the bible says they feared him as well they feared him this word right here is the word i'm sorry you can't see it this word right here is your eye oh yeah right however you want to pronounce it y'all right this is they were in awe of them they feared him that means they internalized this they knew this this isn't what man okay i think i one plus one equals two okay i think i know they saw that aron they thank you for super ticket they snake this was internalized when you see something like that for the moment you you let me ask you guys a question let me ask you guys a question let's make this relate to us you all remember 22 years ago 22 years ago september the 12th on september the 12th we were believers of something that we weren't prior to september the 11th september the 12th we were believers we recognized that one were not as safe as we thought we were but two terror can come to us and hit us anywhere and we've got to be diligent now fast forward 20 years later we don't care who comes in the country we don't care who's coming in the country now at that time we believed we we listen if grandma was in i don't know if she was in spain or italy and she's coming back on vacation we went to vet her make sure make sure that that grandma is actually a citizen nope i'm so let's check her paperwork we're gonna make sure 20 years later we i don't care where you are i don't care listen i don't care if you got a caravan come from the south you come from north i don't care come on come on come on we do forget this kind of stuff and so what happened there now did we believe where we were we we were all witnesses and we we were rocked to the core and we knew but then a few weeks later a few days later a few months later a few really a few years later things changed everybody y'all remember there was a declaration and a declaration of war signed by all but all but two or three people everybody in congress came out the day after or two days after on the steps of the of the of the capital and it's everybody we got to do something but then a few months later a few weeks later now now i'm sorry nope that's how we are so you can believe and and be internal not just not just mentalism but even you can you can internalize it and then walk away from because there's got there's got to be something to keep you and we're going to get to the keeping part in just a second there's got to be something that's going to keep you staying with it here they've got the benefit of god god keeps showing themselves these are fickle people they go back and forth back and forth well how do they follow god because it kept showing them something he kept displaying himself he meant to be seen by the way even in the new testament when god shows up and we see the power of god people see it they believe and they come to him then they get the holy spirit but they don't have holy spirit yet let's go back to it now time out back i mean time back in let's go back to it verse one chapter 15 then mosin the sons of israel saying this i'm not reading no i'm sorry not that one where we going oh i know now we're going to 19 so you read chapter 15 and chapter 16 and 17 on your own we need to move forward now we're going to go to um chapter 19 because he's moved these people on by the way is this it i want to make sure yeah we passed up the part where he was giving them some bread we didn't cover that but y'all know the story gave him bread then gave him quail gate and by the way if you go back and read what this what this man was it was like a wafer with honey they got some they got some some eclairs they got some some some ice cookies some donuts with honey on it they got they got fed well and complain about that we want some meat we want some bacon we want some bacon on this croissant they got they got quail bacon croissants and just complain it's what we do it's just what we do what you gave me lord was enough then but it ain't enough now which we see today we see this today in that what you gave me your word and enough i need more i need some signs unfortunately some of you guys i have a word for you later some of you guys who are so reliant on the signs when the signs don't show up then you show i'd leave there's a warning for you to come but anyway chapter 19 verse 1 in the third month after the sons of israel had gone out of the land of egypt on that very day they came to the wilderness of Sinai they set out from redfin refidim i'm sorry they came to the wilderness of Sinai and camped in the wilderness and there israel camped in front of the mountain moses went up to god and the lord called to him from the mountain saying thus you shall say to the house of jacob and tell the sons of israel you yourselves have seen what i did to the Egyptians and how i bore you on eagles wings and brought you to myself question was anybody flying and i'm asking i'm not i'm not being facetious i'm being serious was anybody flying was anyone actually brought up on wings of eagles eagles wings was anyone caught up on eagles wings no so even in our literal hermeneutic we are open to metaphors similes idioms figures of speeches here's this metaphor this figure of speech that i bore you on eagles wings clearly that is metaphorical or idiomatic clearly we don't even have to describe what what what is an idiom what is a metaphor we once we see what it is this is a metaphor oh okay i see what a metaphor is i can't explain but when i see one i know it that's what it is because again does a literal interpretation fit you can't because we know that they literally weren't brought up on eagles wings like some big gigantic eagle no so now then if you will indeed obey my voice here it is guys if you will indeed obey my voice and keep my cup what covenant if you will indeed obey my voice and keep my covenant then you shall be my own possession among all the people for all the earth is mine and you shall be to me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation these are the words that you shall speak to the sons of israel that's what most is going to tell the people so moses came and called the elders of the people and set before them all these words which the lord had commanded all the people answered together and said all that the lord has spoken we will do and most brought back the words of the people to the lord and the lord said behold i will come to you in a thick cloud so that the people may hear when i speak with you and may also believe in you forever then moses told the words of the people to the lord jack y'all hear what's happening moses is told by god to tell the people except my covenant with you obey me the people say whatever you tell us to do god we're gonna do he goes back and says okay fine verse 10 the lord also said to moses go to the people and consecrate them today and tomorrow and let them wash their garments and let them be ready for the third day for on the third day the lord will come down on mount sinai in the sight of all the people you shall set bounds for all the people all around saying the where that you do not go up on the mountain or touch it now someone's gonna ask a question should we make something out of it being the third day you could you could um obviously we're gonna find out later what happens on the third day so if you want to that's fine if you don't want to that's also fine but just on the third day now right now you can't because we haven't we don't know anything about a third day the third day up to now it's not that important right now the third day means absolutely nothing to us but we can put that in our memory banks and say hey listen on the third day the lord did this all right i'm going to figure out what in the world is going on with this other computer but i fixed it i got you now so he says uh beware that you do not go up on the mountain or the borders of it or touch it whoever touches the mountain shall surely be put to death don't play with god no hands shall touch him but he shall surely be stoned or shot through so if a person does touch it don't touch him so if i don't know let's say jeff jeff wasn't thinking jeff just goes up and touches it you're gonna kill him how are you gonna kill him you're either gonna throw something through him a spear a arrow or stone him no hands will touch him but he shall surely be stoned or shot through where the beast or man so if your dog touches it he's got to go to when the rams horn sounds a long blast they shall come up to the mountain so most went down from the mountain to the people and consecrated the people and they wash their garments he said that the people be ready for the third day do not go near a woman nope nope nope nope nope no relations no nothing so it came about on the third day when it was morning that there was that there were thunder and lightning flashes and a thick cloud upon the mountain and a very loud trumpet sound so that all the people who were in the camp trembled so now they're afraid which i would be afraid to i'd be afraid to uh and moses brought the people out of the camp to meet god and they's not to you'll see what he means and they stood at the foot of the mountain now mount sinai was it was all in smoke because the lord descended upon it in fire who descended upon it the lord in fire that happened before didn't it yeah it happened before moses got to witness that now they get to see it and uh and its smoke ascended like the smoke of a furnace and the whole mountain quaked violently when the sound of the trumpet grew louder and louder moses spoke and god answered him with thunder the lord came down on mount sinai the lord came down on mount sinai and the lord called most of the top of the mountain most went up then the lord spoke to most go down and warn the people so that they do not break through to the lord to gaze and many of them and many of them perish so let the priests who come near to the lord consecrate themselves or else the lord will break out against them moses said to the lord the people cannot come up to mount sinai for you warned us saying set bounds about the mountain and consecrate then the lord said to him go down and come up again and you and erin with you both uh but do not let the priest and the people break through to come up to the lord or he will break up forth upon them so moses went down to the people and told them how many you all knew that erin went up on the mountain too every time i covered that part people like i didn't realize mo i didn't realize erin went up too yep go get erin bring erin up as he says now here comes the main point and there's some important points to cover this there's some important points that are getting ready to happen okay these ten commandments get ready to get the issue then the lord spoke all these things chapter 20 verse 1 i am the lord your god who brought you out of the land of egypt out of the house of slavery you shall have nowhere the guys before me so we've gone so he's going through the ten commandments okay he's setting out the law i won't cover all of the tenets of the law um one for the sake of time too because i'm just assuming that you have read it if not go and read it again um but god is saying how you should look at him and then how you should look at others first and foremost how you look at me you should have no other gods before me let me go back to that let me go back to that verse 3 you shall have no other guys before me uh pretty clear do we read that literally or do we read that figuratively i'd say both don't let anything be a god before you you should not make for yourself an idol or any likeness of what is in heaven or above or beneath or on the earth or under the earth now meaning that you should not make it into worship it okay you should not worship them nor serve them for i the lord your god am jealous that's important he says i'm jealous i just said i'm not going to read it but i'm reading it aren't i he says but showing loving kindness to the thousands to those who love me and keep my commandment verse seven you shall not take the name of the lord your god in vain for the lord will not leave him unpunished who takes his name in vain this guy's we've covered this before this does not mean saying gd does not saying mean saying oh my god that's not what this means it could that's not what it means it means do not act as though you are one of mine in a vain fashion you will not go unpunished for that so today saying that i'm the lords and then you don't act like it or you're really not no jesus is not an idol i am day and no continuing verse seven verse eight this is important this is why i decided to go ahead and read this remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy six days you shall labor and do all your work but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the lord your god in it you should do no work you or your sons or your daughters your male or female servant or your cattle or your soul turners who stays with you wait a minute a couple of things a couple of things i don't know if y'all caught this almost a twist of irony if you think about it there's a twist there's a little bit of irony here he says we'll deal with the six days and seven days and second but he says you can't do any work your sons or daughters can't do any work but then he says your male or your female servant where that remember this is only three months after you mean they got you mean to tell me they just left being slaves and they got servants already the numbers in his camp are starting to pick up because he says or your or your soul journalists who stay with you now this is also speaking about right now but also going forward i just thought that was kind of interesting but for in six days the lord made the heavens and the earth the sea and all that is in it in them and restored on and rested on the seventh day or ceased on the seventh day therefore the lord blessed the seventh day and made it holy a couple things how many days did it take for the lord to create creation pretty simple it's pretty straightforward right six how do we know it's six how do we know that it took the lord six days how do we know that the lord created the earth or created creation in six days how do we know that how do you know that lisa spider monkey jeff inola the son of jesus son of jesus the son if jesus okay arson oh kathan how do we know sheila how do we know six days was was was how long he made creation spider monkey says god says so robertus he said he said so where did he say so at the word says so did he say it literally or figuratively there's a reason why i'm saying it's a literal six because it says so exactly by the way who is he speaking to who is moses talking to right then and there and who are these words gonna be read by people human beings who understand six literal days do you all think that they did he really mean six days metaphorically speaking round about six ish on the seventh or eight maybe the ninth day if we're tired no he god does not speak in he's not speaking in cold he's saying six days i made it so if you ever want to go back in question how many days it took for him to create i don't know if it was that's actually six days it might have been six thousand six million okay he says six days on the sixth day not the six millionth day the sixth day he rested he ceased not rest because he was tired but he ceased from his work and then on the seventh it should be a day for you and him all right with me it was a saturday correct the Sabbath guys let's be clear the seventh day is saturday what we call saturday okay um this term that we do what we call sunday the new Sabbath that's not biblical there's no passage says that uh oh by the way what we do on sunday has nothing to do with what we do on saturday so if you still feel like you should be holding the Sabbath holy fine fine you shouldn't there there is no call for that that being the case going to church on sunday isn't the same as resting on saturday okay saturday is the seventh day that's what the Sabbath is we look at the two words it they're made with the same three hebrew letters okay so we'll do i don't want to get into the Sabbath just yet we will get to the Sabbath later on but then he goes to deal with how you treat other people out of your mother and father and so forth now i want to drop down to what i want to drop down to now i want to stay there i want to move a little further um no i don't i'm going to sleep over 21 there are some ordinance we're going to come back to some of these ordinances later about how you deal with if you have a slave wives and so forth if a man sells his daughter as a female slave she has to go there are some rules but i want to i want to cover something and this this needs to be said because next week is where we start breaking some stuff up next week you're going to see us in now you haven't no one has done so i don't think but no one has brought up any passages in he in leviticus or to the run you will next week as a matter of fact we'll be in it next week this covenant that he's making if we go to chapter 23 um let's go to verse 22 he's covering all these different aspects of this law starting verse 20 behold i am going to send an angel before you to guard you along the way and to bring you into a place which i have prepared it's important guys be on your guard before him and obey his voice this is pretty this is pretty important i am sending an angel before you obey his voice do not be rebellious towards him for he will not pardon your transgression how can he do that what what angel can do that since my name is in him what was he speaking of but if you truly obey his voice and do all that i say then i will be an enemy to your enemies and an adversary to your adversaries for my angel i will go for my angel i will go before you and bring you into the land of the amorites the hittites the parasites the canonites the hivites and the debris sites and i will completely destroy them let's pause for a second why are we pausing for a second there because who did he say he's going to go before and to destroy in saying so i need to go to a passage uh 15 i think it's 16 let's put this back on the screen he says for my angel will go before you and bring you into the land of the amorites the hittites and parasites and the canonites and the hivites and the debris sites and i will completely destroy them why am i focusing on that because remember this is still part of why why are they going into this land why are the jews being taken into this land in the first place does anybody remember anybody recall the reason why they are going into the land remember genesis 12 abram is being brought out of the land already with his uncle but he says come out of this land into a land that i will show you that's the land that they're getting ready to go into that's or that's the land they've been brought into that's this land now we've covered a couple of things abram's like scratching his head wondering what's happening and he talks about how they're how your descendants are going to go into this captivity let's go back and look at what he says to abram when he says how will i know he says but i will also judge the nation whom they will serve these these egyptians and afterwards they will come out your people will come out with many possessions we've seen that as for you you shall go to your father in peace and be buried at a good old age look what he says though verse 16 then in the fourth generation they will return here for the iniquity of the amorite is not yet complete god is getting ready to deal with the amorites next as well as others he is going to as he says utterly destroy them he will have given them 400 years to get right and they did not all the time that they were enslaved they could have been getting but they didn't and oh by the way they know what what what god has done with these jews so he says you shall not serve or worship their gods nor serve them nor do according to their deeds but you shall utterly overthrow them and break their sacred codes and pieces but you shall serve the lord your god and he will bless your bread and your waters and you will remove sickness from your midst there shall be no one miscarrying or barren in the land i will fulfill the number of your days i will send my terror ahead of you to and throw into confusion all the people among you among whom you come and i will make all your enemies turn their backs on you so if you do what's right this is what i'm going to do now i pass up a passage wait a second there was something out that i wanted to do is it i'm sorry wrong wrong i was in the right spot i was in the right spot wait a second am i in the right some kind of way i wrote down i wrote down the wrong passage i think i did i think i did wait a second is it 21 no wait a second i'm i'm not going to guys i'm sorry there's a passage that i want to pull up uh and where is it at dog on it come on quarry oh well i'm sorry i apologize guys there's a passage that i marked that i want to that i wanted to cover but i did not i did not cover i got my little phone with my notes over here because i wanted i want to pull this up for you guys for one second this was where did i write it down there i'm not okay i don't know what i did guys i'm sorry i i wrote the wrong thing down and rather than covering it then i'm saying nope oh well it is important the passage i want to cover but the passage i want to cover we see it in excess in exodus 19 we also matter of fact you know what let me see let me do a cross-reference i wanted to hear you i wanted to hear them say it again if i cross-references and all the people okay let me cross-reference okay let me let me drop back um i don't know why i don't have this i apologize guys i i do apologize but the point that i want to that i wanted to keep i wanted to keep is in exodus chapter 19 verse 7 when moses makes a statement to them all the elders say yes we will they agree to it in exodus i thought it was 23 but it might be 22 i'll go back and look forward after he reiterates all of these things to them they come back and say yes we agree the reason why i want to point this out and i'll have this for you guys on next week i'll bring the beginning next week because we're getting ready to stop right here the reason why this is important is because in this covenant that they're making there was an offer and there was an acceptance we talked about this before about these covenants we have what's called an unconditional covenant and we have a conditional covenant in this covenant this is a conditional covenant chapter 19 7 let's us know also i think it's 22 maybe 23 i'll find it but we know for a fact though that it's an if then covenant if you do this then i will do that that's what god says so there's four things i want to tell you about this covenant as we get you ready to depart one it's a conditional covenant okay god is telling them that you do this and then i'll do that if you do it i'll bless you i'll show you the scripture um that lets us know that one it it's it's not only just conditional it's also national and it's also physical so it's conditional two it's national who is this covenant with very important who is this covenant with it's with the people of israel it's with israel now could anybody join in this covenant well yes and no any sojourner who wants to take part in this and become circumcised and so forth they could become part of it if they wanted to they're not forced to but they could and they would have to adhere to the dictates of this covenant but the covenant is made with israel and the promises the benefits of this covenant do not accrue to the sojourners or the sojourner's family but it's accrue to israel and their descendants are you with me so it's national mean that it's made specifically with israel but again as we said before in other covenants other people can benefit though the covenant isn't made specifically for you in this case these sojourners were also with israel we're going to see that later on with some other people secondly it is physical or it's literal this is not a spiritual covenant guys this is a physical covenant yeah yeah spider monkey you're headed me but you're happily right this is a physical literal covenant he needs to physically put them in this literal land and to bring about these blessings if they do what he's literally told them to do also this covenant by the way no it's not spiritual by the way this is not a spiritual covenant what do you mean it's not a spiritual covenant well the hearts of the people are not changed in this covenant god is not at this point in time now i know we're thinking ahead to other covenants and other things that's going to happen god at this point in time is not dealing with their sinning nature or their heart are you with me he's not dealing with them as a matter of fact which which helps us understand the fourth part of this covenant it's also unattainable this covenant it was never meant to bring a complete spiritual redemption it will instead remind them of how fallen they are of how abysmal they are and it will ultimately appoint point them to the lord and his saving work now i want to point something out first of all let me go to chronicles second chronicles chapter two uh-oh and my people who are called by my name if my people think who are called by my name and humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways then i will hear from heaven and i will forgive their sin i will heal their land now this is speaking about israel and it's physical and if they turn away then the latter portion of it tells us that they will take be taken out of the land or with me so we know now i jumped ahead but i wanted to use it to bring about about a point that this covenant with them they're still a part of the old covenant that this was conditional that this was national with israel with his people and it was physical it was literal now i want to go back to something i want to put up some scriptures to show what god was thinking what was going on with these people i want to go to Deuteronomy Deuteronomy chapter 15 and i want you guys to notice something we're going to read verses one through 11 at the end of every year of every seven years you shall grant a remission of debts huh this is the manner of remission every creditor shall release what he has loaned to his neighbor he shall not exact on his neighbor as his brother because the lord's remission has been proclaimed from a foreigner you may exact it but your hand shall release whatever your whatever of yours is with your brother however there will be look what he says look look there look at this there will be no poor among you since the lord will surely bless you in the land which the lord your god is giving you as inheritance to possess if only you listen obediently to the voice of the lord your god to observe carefully all this commandment which i am commanding today so he's giving conditions to this covenant but notice what he says in go back to verse four he says uh there will be no poor among you remember that he said there will be no poor money let's keep reading verse six for the lord your god will bless you as he has promised you and you will and you will lend to many nations but you will not borrow and you will rule over many nations but they will not rule over you if there is a poor man with you one of your one of your brothers in any of your towns in your land wish the lord your god is giving you shall not harden your heart nor close your hand from the poor from your poor brother but you shall freely upon your hand to him and shall generously lend him sufficiently for his need in whatever he lacks beware that there is no base thought in your heart same be aware that there's no base heart in your i mean thought in your heart the seventh year the year of remission is near and your eye is hostile toward your poor brother and you give him nothing then he may cry to the lord against you and it will be a sin in you you shall generously give him and your heart shall not be grieved when you give him because for the lord for this thing the lord your god will bless you and all your work and in your uh undertaken for the poor will never cease to be in the land therefore i command you saying you shall freely open your hand to your brother to who to your needy and poor in your land wait a second this was confusing let me tell you why this was confusing he says verse 11 the poor will never cease to be in your land but wait a second did you not just say god in your word verse four he says however there will be no poor among you which is it god you're confusing me you said there will be no poor in the land but then you go in verse 11 says the poor will not cease to be in your land and he's all speaking about your brothers how can that be how can that be well i want you to pay attention to something also that he says in deuteronomy chapter 10 verse 16 he gives a command to the jews he says verse 16 of chapter 10 so circumcise your heart and stiffen your back or your neck no longer for the lord your god is the god of gods and the lord of lords the great and mighty and awesome god who does not show partiality nor take a bribe so he's telling them no it's not no it's not poor in spirit either no he's mean no these are poor people folks who don't have money the god is saying there shall be nobody poor without in your land but then there going to be somebody who is poor he says he and he speaks about lending people to their brothers and to the sojourners as well so to all why why do we go in just seven verses from the poor i'm not having any poor to their being poor and he also includes poor of your brethren why well here's a hint right here he says do not i'm sorry he says circumcise your heart and stiffen your neck no longer obey get your heart right but they won't they will not as a matter of fact if we go to deuteronomy chapter 30 verse 1 look what he says in deuteronomy 30 he says so it shall be when all of these things have come upon you the blessings and the curses which i have said before you and you call them to mind in all the nations where the lord your god has banished you so he's telling them at this point in time you're going to call these into mind into these lands where the lord your god has banished you if we go to verse 11 though uh for this commandment which i have commanded you today is not too difficult for you nor is it out of reach in other words you're going to get banished you're going to get banished because you're not going to you're not going to obey these commands but guess what the commands that i'm giving you they're not too difficult they're not too burdensome why are you going to have or find difficulty with these commands well because he he tells you to circumcise your heart but you won't you won't circumcise your heart and because of that i'm going to put you out of the land but however here's the promise more over the lord verse six of chapter 30 more of the lord your god will will circumcise your heart and the heart of your descendants to love the lord your god with all your heart and with all your soul so that you may live the lord will inflict all these curses on your enemies and on those who hate you who persecuted you and you shall again obey the lord your god observe all his commandments so in the future he is going to god is going to circumcise their heart god is going to circumcise their heart in the future though he's telling them now to circumcise your heart get your heart right now everything that i'm telling you to do guys is not too difficult it's not too burdensome but you won't do it you won't do it which is why there will be poor in the land oh by the way which is why you're going to get put out of the land we haven't talked about that yet we will on next week and so god understands that this covenant that he's making with the people all that you say that all that you say to do we will do it lord we're going to do it everything i'm going to follow you i have decided to follow jesus no turning back no turning back liar yes you yes you will turn back now not us but them yes you will you are disobedient now remember god has given them something to help them along the way now he's giving them these signs and oh by the way we're looking more at this on next week but he's also giving them these offerings to kind of keep them in a good position with the lord we'll cover this on more more on this next week but um the point is i've told you to do something you won't that is condition of your covenant you can't keep it so what's this covenant now we know because we've read the book that this covenant is going to point them to somebody and every time they get in trouble it's going to always be the lord who has to show up to bail them out we're going to see this happening over and over and over and over again and then god is going to deal with them because the problem is they keep sending they don't keep their his commands let me put it back up karen says i never screen shot in time here you go karen let me put it up for you in three two one there it is so now all you have to do though guys if you're listen if you're if you're old guy like me all you gotta do is put the put the tape back in and just rewind it just a little bit i mean you also talk about rewinding anyone so their problem god's issue with them is they keep sending they don't they don't keep their word they can't they don't follow god why don't they follow god because they're hard and that's an issue we're going to keep seeing their bad heart and their wayward words ways keep coming up and we're going to see why god is ultimately going to put them out of the land they're going to mess up big time and so god is going to get them right not necessarily them but their descendants which which will be in um in leagues with their promise or his promise to them so all right guys we've covered a lot uh i went along with what i wanted to but we needed to there was actually a lot more that i wanted to um to say but we just couldn't and so for you have all of exodus red have all of exodus red um have deuteronomy leviticus from chapter one through sixteen red also bachelor will be next week we'll also spend some time in deuteronomy as well because now we've got to start unfolding god and his provisions and his working in these jews in the midst of this covenant remember though and we're going to compare this covenant on next week with the abrahamic covenant and see how they work in concert and that one doesn't nullify the other so guys thank you so much i have got a ton to go and do yeah you got homework cg you got homework which is good homework it's the word we're going to read the word uh and glean from it and we're going to pay attention to what we've seen uh and start applying that so guys love you so much so yeah read up to all of the yes uh ct all of the remainder of exodus and then leviticus one through sixteen in the meantime guys be blessed love you all thank you uh i appreciate that the rest of you guys have a wonderful weekend
