God Promises Deliverance

1 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Now you will see what I will do to the king of Egypt. I will use my great power against him, and he will let my people go. Because of my power, he will force them out of his country.”

2 Then God said to Moses, “I am the Lord. 3 I appeared to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob by the name, God All-Powerful. But they did not know me by my name, the Lord. 4 I also made my agreement with them to give them the land of Canaan. They lived in that land, but it was not their own land. 5 Now I have heard the cries of the Israelites. The Egyptians are treating them as slaves. And I remember my agreement. 6 So tell the people of Israel that I say to them, ‘I am the Lord. I will save you from the hard work the Egyptians force you to do. I will make you free. You will not be slaves to the Egyptians. I will free you by my great power. And I will punish the Egyptians terribly. 7 I will make you my own people, and I will be your God. You will know that I am the Lord your God. I am the One who saves you from the hard work the Egyptians force you to do. 8 I will lead you to the land that I promised to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. I will give you that land to own. I am the Lord.’”

9 So Moses told this to the people of Israel. But they would not listen to him. They were discouraged, and their slavery was hard.

10 Then the Lord said to Moses, 11 “Go tell the king of Egypt that he must let the Israelites leave his land.”

12 But Moses answered, “The Israelites will not listen to me. So surely the king will not listen to me, either. I am not a good speaker.”

13 But the Lord told Moses and Aaron to talk to the king. He commanded them to lead the Israelites out of Egypt.

Families of Israel

14 These are the leaders of the families of Israel:

Israel’s first son, Reuben, had four sons. They were Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron and Carmi. These are the family groups of Reuben.

15 Simeon’s sons were Jemuel, Jamin, Ohad, Jakin, Zohar and Shaul. Shaul was the son of a Canaanite woman. These are the family groups of Simeon.

16 Levi lived 137 years. These are the names of his sons according to their family history: Gershon, Kohath and Merari.

17 Gershon had two sons, Libni and Shimei, with their families.

18 Kohath lived 133 years. The sons of Kohath were Amram, Izhar, Hebron and Uzziel.

19 The sons of Merari were Mahli and Mushi.

These are the family groups of Levi, according to their family history.

20 Amram married his father’s sister Jochebed. Jochebed gave birth to Aaron and Moses. Amram lived 137 years.

21 Izhar’s sons were Korah, Nepheg and Zicri.

22 Uzziel’s sons were Mishael, Elzaphan and Sithri.

23 Aaron married Elisheba. She was the daughter of Amminadab and the sister of Nahshon. Elisheba gave birth to Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.

24 The sons of Korah were Assir, Elkanah and Abiasaph. These are the family groups of the Korahites.

25 Eleazar son of Aaron married a daughter of Putiel. And she gave birth to Phinehas.

These are the leaders of the family groups of the Levites.

26 This was the Aaron and Moses to whom the Lord spoke. He said, “Lead my people out of Israel in their divisions.” 27 Aaron and Moses are the ones who talked to the king of Egypt. They told him to let the people of Israel leave Egypt.

God Repeats His Call to Moses

28 The Lord spoke to Moses in the land of Egypt. 29 He said, “I am the Lord. Tell the king of Egypt everything I tell you.”

30 But Moses answered, “I am not a good speaker. The king will not listen to me.” — Exodus 6 | International Children’s Bible (ICB) The Holy Bible, International Children’s Bible® Copyright© 1986, 1988, 1999, 2015 by Thomas Nelson.

Daily Devotional: Exodus 6:14-30

Here, we read the genealogies of the Levites in the land of Egypt up to the sons of Aaron. The text repeats itself, the Moses and Aaron listed in the genealogy are the same Moses and Aaron who spoke to Pharaoh. They are meant to be emphasized as Levites as if it is important. When Jacob, Israel, issued blessings to his children (the twelve tribes), he said of Levi: Their swords are implements…

Hey could you explain what a graven image is? I tried googling it and that didn’t help me

A graven image is a religious image. In many Protestant circles (not all) any image depicting biblical figures or of Jesus himself are considered graven and not allowed; however Catholic (and some other Christian denominations) do permit religious images for the purpose of prayer, but the statues themselves cannot be worshipped.

This Verse Secretly Undermines All of Christianity...

I just saw this and thought I would process it on my own.

This YouTuber doesn't sound like he's explored much beyond mainstream Western Christianity. He makes the bold statement that EVERY Christian sect finds indispensable the idea that Christ died on the Cross "for our sins". Period.

For the longest time I found that challenging too. He goes on to talk about many of the same things I've asked, "Why couldn't God just forgive us outright? Why must he go through a generational pageant to do something the God of the Universe could have done of his own accord in the first place?"

You can say this is a dumb question. I've been told this many times.

Yet I have never been the only one asking this.

Many, if not all Atheists ask this question. Frankly, many "Christian" answers sound a little unhinged.

Now, I don't think that his examples necessarily contradict the prevailing point of view though. All anyone has to do is look at the banking industry to see that credit on future earnings is a valid payment method. Now it's true that modern banking, and especially credit, wasn't developed until the European Jews, unable to make a living any other way, started lending during the medieval period. Jesuits came up with the idea of insurance, which didn't technically fall under the prohibition against usury. And with ongoing innovation, modern financial markets developed.

None of these, of course, would have been understood by the local people of Jesus' time and place.

What was understood was life and death.

And this is where I found my peace.

Sins can easily be forgiven, but sickness and eventual death? That's a whole other nut to crack. Now, to be clear, unfortunately even the most traditional Christian communities have started to obsess about how SIN must be atoned!

But there is a strain in the oldest Christian traditions that it wasn't primarily sin that was destroyed on the cross, but rather death, disease, corruption (of which sin is a derivation to be sure, but not the point).

Now it's easy to look around and say - "Look! it didn't work." I myself have had to say good bye to both my parents over the last several months.

However, there is a resurrection that is promised. And if Christ has done what he said he did, then there WILL be a general resurrection.

The key is to be prepared for that resurrection. Now we could go on about which denomination is best prepared, but I have little faith in denominationalism. I think it's a means to conquer and divide the faithful, pitting follower against follower. Soon the God who's being worshiped isn't the most High God, but the Deceiver who encourages us all to call each other heretics. I do not think most "Christians" are Christian, but rather following their own wisdom (1 Timothy 6:3-5, 2 Thessalonians 2:11, Matthew 7:13-14, Matthew 24:11).

Now I may be a false teacher myself for thinking such a thing and putting it out there, but I have faith that God will know his own. And while he loves the rest, and has given them life, that life will be so much less for the fact that they reject what he's given them.

I find the idea of a river of fire helpful - Moses and the Glory of God (Exodus 33:20-23), speaks to the idea that to human senses, God is Fire. The Story of the Three Holy Youths (Daniel 3) has also been seen as an illustration of man abiding in the presence of fire, as a proxy for God, unharmed. Pentecost is God's fire experienced by the faithful after his resurrection. How will Gods fire be experienced by the unfaithful?

I have no idea, but I doubt that it will be pleasant (Luke 16:19-31).

In short, I feel this video failed to land it's point. There's enough diversity in Christianity to survive this argument, though I do not think that most modern Christians are open to my resolution.

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, Have mercy upon me, a sinner.

Line Upon Line Lesson 061: People Are Watching

Exodus 11:3 - And the Lord gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians. Moreover the man Moses was very great in the land of Egypt, in the sight of Pharaoh’s servants and in the sight of the people.

It must have been discouraging for Moses to go repeatedly before Pharaoh and get rejected.  Perhaps Moses might have thought at times what was the point of asking Pharaoh to release the children of Israel.  Why go through all this trouble of petitioning Pharaoh then sending a plague when he refused?  Couldn’t God just send the plagues all at once and devastate Egypt?

Let’s read together Galatians 6:9. 

While Pharaoh’s heart may have been hardened against God, some Egyptians were beginning to see that God was greater than the gods and idols of Egypt.  They recognized that Moses truly was sent from God.

Let’s read together Matthew 13:18-24.

We should likewise not get discouraged when we are rebuffed sharing the Gospel message with someone.  You may be sowing spiritual seeds that will bear fruit at another time.  Also, other people may be watching and be convicted to follow Jesus.

“I was one of those who took the Biblical passage ‘And you shall be unto Me a kingdom of priests, and a holy nation’ [Exodus 19:6] as the definition of Zionism. In 1918 already I mentioned it in one of my articles. If I was capable of putting down a thought like that without a second thought, then clearly I was naïve and not dialectical. The concept of ‘holy nation’ is what interested me. Although I have since learned a great deal, I cannot say that there is nothing to this passage.”

“Then Moses raised his hand over the sea, and the Lord opened up a path through the water with a strong east wind. The wind blew all that night, turning the seabed into dry land. So the people of Israel walked through the middle of the sea on dry ground, with walls of water on each side!” —Exodus 14:21‭-‬22 (NLT)

“He made a dry path through the Red Sea, and his people went across on foot. There we rejoiced in him.” —Psalm 66:6 (NLT)

“You roared over the waters of the Red Sea, making a dry path for your people to cross through.” —Psalm 106:9 (TPT)

“God didn't remove the Red Sea, He parted it. Sometimes God doesn't remove your problems, He makes a way through them.”

Judíos huyendo de Kielce, Polonia, dos días después del pogromo perpetrado contra la comunidad judía, 6 de julio de 1946

🇪🇸 El 1 de julio de 1946, un niño de ocho años llamado Henryk Blaszyk desapareció de su casa en Kielce, Polonia. Sus padres informaron a la policía, pero el niño regresó dos días después. A pesar de ello, el padre, estando borracho, presentó otro informe alegando que su hijo había sido secuestrado por judíos y que había escapado del edificio del comité judío. Esto llevó a una oleada de violencia masiva contra la comunidad judía de Kielce, con ataques por parte de policías, soldados y una turba enfurecida. Durante el pogromo, 42 judíos fueron asesinados y al menos 80 resultaron heridos. El 6 de julio, los heridos y otros judíos fueron evacuados por tren a Lodz para escapar de la violencia. El pogromo de Kielce desencadenó una huida masiva de judíos de Polonia, ya que muchos supervivientes se dieron cuenta de que el antisemitismo estaba demasiado arraigado para reconstruir sus vidas allí. Como resultado, comenzaron a buscar nuevos lugares donde establecerse y forjar un futuro seguro.

🇺🇸 On July 1, 1946, an eight-year-old boy named Henryk Blaszyk disappeared from his home in Kielce, Poland. His parents reported him missing to the police, but the boy returned two days later. Despite his return, his father, who was drunk, filed another report claiming that his son had been kidnapped by Jews and had escaped from the Jewish committee building. This led to a massive outbreak of violence against the Jewish community in Kielce, with attacks carried out by police, soldiers, and an enraged mob. During the pogrom, 42 Jews were killed and at least 80 were injured. On July 6, the injured and other members of the Jewish community were evacuated by train to Lodz to escape the violence. The Kielce pogrom triggered a mass exodus of Jews from Poland, as many survivors realized that antisemitism was too deeply entrenched for them to rebuild their lives there. As a result, they started seeking new places to settle and build a safer future.
