  The Lord told Moses to go to Pharaoh and tell him again that He said, "Let My people go, that they may serve Me."  Has God ever sent you the same message over and over again, that you have ignored?  If Pharaoh refused to let them go then God would smite all the territory with frogs. Frogs would come out of the river in abundance and go into all of their houses (servants included), into their bedrooms, beds, ovens and kneading bowls. God told Moses to tell Aaron to stretch out his hand with his rod over the streams, rivers and ponds to cause frogs to come upon the land of Egypt  (Second Plague)  .  So, obviously Pharaoh refused to let the people go because  Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt and the frogs came and covered the land. The magicians did the same with their tricks and brought up frogs on the land as well.  They made the problem worse! You would think Pharaoh would be upset with the magicians.  Pharaoh called fo...

Numbers 35:30 - Whoever kills a person, the murderer shall be put to death on the testimony of witnesses; but one witness is not sufficient testimony against a person for the death penalty.  (NKJV) God has always intended for the justice system to be fair to everybody.

Exodus 3 5:29 - The children of Israel brought a freewill offering to the Lord, all the men and women whose hearts were willing to bring material for all kinds of work which the Lord, by the hand of Moses, had commanded to be done. (NKJV) Are you giving your offerings to God with a willing heart? Please feel free to post the 29th Verse of a Bible Chapter ending with the Number 5 in  the Comments Section.

  The Lord told Moses that He made him as a God to Pharaoh and Aaron would be his prophet.  This meant that Pharaoh would see Moses as a divine representation of God.  God told Moses to speak all that he was commanded to speak. Aaron was supposed to tell Pharaoh to send the children of Israel out of Egypt. God, again, lets Moses know that He will harden Pharaoh's heart and that He would multiply His signs and wonders in Egypt.  Since God is omniscient, He already knew that Pharaoh's heart was hardened against Him. So, God just basically, strengthened his decision/position according to one Google source. Have you ever had your mind so set on doing something, knowing it was wrong, and did it anyway? Even though, God could have prevented you from doing it, He allowed you to exercise your free will. This is similar to God hardening Pharaoh's heart. After all, it wouldn't seem fair for God to harden Pharaoh's heart and then punish him for having a hardened heart.  Mo...

  God told Moses that he will see what He will do to Pharaoh, king of Egypt. . God said that Pharaoh will let the people go and he will drive them out of the land with a strong hand.  One Google source said that "with a strong hand" means under compulsion. So, Pharaoh will let the people go and drive them out under compulsion, God's compulsion; God's mighty hand. I realize that this is somewhat different in context, but have you ever felt compelled by God to do something?  God said to Moses, "I am the Lord." He said that He appeared to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob as God Almighty, but they did not know Him by His name Lord.  So, I wondered about the distinction in the names for God. Yes, I googled. God Almighty is El Shaddai which means "The God Who Is More Than Enough." Most commentaries refer to "Lord" as Jehovah and the meaning of "one having power and authority over others." Then there are many commentaries that speculate on the...

  Moses and Aaron went and told Pharaoh that the Lord God of Israel said, "Let My people go, that they may hold a feast to Me in the wilderness." Pharaoh said, "Who is the Lord, that I should obey His voice to let Israel go? I do not know the Lord, nor will I let Israel go."  Pharaoh is being mighty cocky! Do you know anyone that brazen when it comes to their attitude about God? When Pharaoh said, "I do not know the Lord...." he was 100 percent correct!  They told Pharaoh that the God of the Hebrews met with them. They asked for him to let them go three days' journey in the desert so they could sacrifice to the Lord or He might cause pestilence or the sword to come upon them.  This seems to be a hint of things to come. Pharaoh didn't consider that if God would cause pestilence or the sword to be upon His people, that he (Pharaoh) too, could be punished for not letting them go.  The king of Egypt accused Moses and Aaron of taking the people away fro...

After God told Moses in Exodus 3 that the Israelites would believe him, he said to God in the beginning of Exodus 4,  "But suppose they will not believe me or listen to my voice; suppose they say, 'The Lord has not appeared to you.'" God asked Moses about the object in his hand. Moses told Him that it was a rod. God told Moses to throw the rod down on the ground. So he did, and it became a serpent and Moses quickly jumped back away from it  (like the majority of us would have done).  God told Moses to reach out and grab the serpent by the tail and when he did, the serpent once again, became a rod.  Would you have been brave enough to pick up the serpent by the tail, especially at God's direction? Is there something that God is telling you to do and you have not done it yet because you are too afraid?  This was the first sign to make the people believe that the Lord God of their fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob appeared to Moses. God told Moses to put his hand i...
