Exodus 12:26-51 (Same Day Arrival/Same Day Departure)

Image
  The Israelites were instructed that when their children asked them about the reason for having the service, they should say, "It is the Passover sacrifice of the Lord, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt when He struck the Egyptians and delivered our households." The people bowed their heads and worshiped. Then they went and did as they were told by Moses and Aaron regarding getting the lamb just as the Lord commanded. At midnight, the Lord killed all of the firstborn in Egypt, from Pharaoh's palace to the captive who was in the dungeon. All of the firstborn of the livestock died too. Pharaoh, his servants and all of the Egyptians got up during the night and there was a great cry throughout Egypt. Every household had a dead family member. Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron in the night and told them to leave from among his people and to take the children of Israel with them and go serve the Lord as they wanted. Pharaoh told them to take their f...

Exodus 12:1-25 / Saved By The Blood

Image
  The Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron in Egypt telling them that this month will be the beginning of months for them. It would be the first month of the year.  Google sources indicate that this month is Nisan.  They were to tell the congregation of Israel that every family was to take a lamb on the tenth of the month for their household. If the household was too small for the lamb, then they were to share it with a neighbor. Each family would take a portion suitable to the number of family members and their needs. A year old male lamb without blemish could come from the sheep or the goats. They were to keep the lamb until the fourteenth of the month. Then the entire assembly of Israel was to kill the lamb at twilight. After killing the lamb, they were to put some of the blood on the doorposts and lintel of the houses where they ate the lamb. The lamb was to be roasted in fire and they were supposed to eat it that night with unleavened bread and with bitter herbs. They weren...

Exodus 11 - The Worst Is Yet To Come!

Image
  The Lord told Moses that He was going to bring one more plague on Pharaoh and Egypt. After this plague, Pharaoh will let them go, driving them out of Egypt altogether. Moses was to tell the children of Israel to ask their Egyptian neighbors for articles of silver and gold. God gave the Israelites favor in the sight of the Egyptians.   Moses was very great in Egypt, in the sight of Pharaoh's servants and the people.  Moses' fame in Egypt probably ticked off Pharaoh too.   Look at how God elevated Moses in Egypt, whereas, in the beginning Moses was using every excuse possible to not be the "chosen one" for this call to lead the people out of Egypt. Has God ever elevated you in a particular situation even though you initially were hesitant to accept the assignment? In Verses 4 - 8, Moses is still in Pharaoh's presence. If you remember at the end of Chapter 10, Moses and Pharaoh had words in which Pharaoh told Moses that he wouldn't see his face anymore and thre...

Exodus 10 - Who Is In Control?

Image
  The Eighth Plague: Locusts God told Moses to go back to Pharaoh. He said that He had hardened Pharaoh's heart and the hearts of his servants, so that He may show Pharaoh His signs. Also, these things were done so Moses would tell his sons and grandsons about the mighty things that God did in Egypt. These signs would also show them the Lord is Who He says He is. So, once again, Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and said, "Thus says the Lord God of the Hebrews: 'How long will you refuse to humble yourself before Me? Let My people go, that they may serve Me.' This time if Pharaoh refused, the next day, the Lord would bring locusts into the land. The locusts would be so thick that no one would be able to see the earth. They would eat the residue of what was left from the hail. They would also eat every tree out in the field. The locusts would be in everybody's houses in such a way that had never been seen by their fathers and grandfathers to that day. Then they left Ph...

Scriptures for June 9th

Genesis 16:9 - The Angel of the Lord said to her, "Return to your mistress, and submit yourself under her hand."

Noah walked with God. (NKJV) Are you walking with God? Please feel free to post the 9th Verse of a Bible Chapter ending with the Number 6 in . the Comments Section.
