The Revivalists - Exodus Chapter 2 · Military Broadcast Radio | MBR Talk

0:11
Hey Daryl, how are you? Hey in person folks.
0:19
Welcome to the Revivalist radio show.
0:23
We are pre recording this a day early for Monday October 12th,
0:31
the year of our Lord 2026. Where is the the most already
0:35
gone? You know.
0:36
This Jesus is coming back soon. I had to think about what's the
0:41
date again? You know, yesterday I had my
0:44
show from Pain to purpose and it was mental health awareness day
0:52
and you know, I kept saying it's October 10th, it's October 10th.
0:56
So that's why I had go in the, the, the calendar on my, in my
1:00
head. We it's been a minute since
1:04
we've had just. A minute.
1:06
Just a minute. Just a minute.
1:08
We we had other pressing matters to address, but we're here.
1:11
I had, I had places to go. Tell us about it, Eva.
1:14
Tell us about it. Tell us about.
1:16
Tell us about Bullwinkle and Bambi.
1:19
Charlie. His name is Charlie.
1:21
He's in there on that desk. Did you see?
1:25
Recipes, Charlie. Oh, so on the.
1:30
Menu. Quite the adventure I went.
1:32
I was counting up as I was driving back.
1:35
How many states did I go through?
1:36
Can you believe I went through 10 states in a week's time?
1:41
And they got you on camera, too. No, no, no, no ticket.
1:44
No. I mean, can't say that those
1:47
Flock cameras weren't out there, but hey.
1:50
But no tickets. Everything was all good.
1:53
Getting locked out of my truck was not on my single list.
2:01
So I got to Grand Teton Saturday evening, right?
2:06
I got to my campground, the Grovent.
2:08
I'm gonna GROS space VENTRE Grovent.
2:13
That's how they pronounce it. Grovent Campground.
2:17
Beautiful campground, folks. It's up there in Wyoming,
2:20
northwest Wyoming, 'cause I, one, I, I hadn't been to that
2:26
area 2, I knew I, if I was going to be hiking in eastern Wyoming
2:33
a couple of days later, it might be good to get some elevation in
2:38
and just, you know, Orient myself physically before I did
2:42
some major hiking. I kind of, you know, was
2:45
planning on taking it easy at Yellowstone, but when I when I
2:52
drove through Grand Teton and and started finding different
2:57
places to park and go take some pictures for that money shot,
3:03
you know, I didn't count on sliding down the hill bonk in
3:07
the back of my head. I think I had a slight
3:09
concussion, broke my camera. These are the travails of being
3:15
a revivalist dog. Says day one, day one.
3:20
And I I did make my way to Yellowstone.
3:24
I stopped, but I stopped at a campground and bought a
3:28
disposable camera. Do you know how expensive those
3:31
things are? What, 2999?
3:35
Thirty dollars. For.
3:36
Disposal $30.00 for a disposal. Where were you at?
3:40
Yellowstone. Look at y'all.
3:41
And I don't, I've got to find, you know, there's a couple
3:44
places in the Metroplex I can go take it.
3:47
I'm going to process. I got to.
3:48
Go do a review. Oh man so anyways enjoyed it had
3:53
this nice lady from the East Coast bought my lunch.
3:58
Her brother, I think was, is a veteran and she took care of me
4:02
after I told my story about falling and breaking my phone
4:08
and and everything was going OK. I got back to my campground
4:14
Saturday evening. All right, Sunday evening,
4:16
sorry. And, and I was going to leave
4:21
early the next morning. Got to go to the bathroom about
4:24
2:00-ish in the morning. Had me go ahead and start
4:27
putting everything together. Got my Jetboil going for the
4:32
coffee start locking things up and guess what I did I locked
4:37
everything in the cab. My watch that has a phone number
4:42
attached to it, my broken phone which I could use with my with
4:47
my truck. Obviously I couldn't use the
4:50
phone even to get the GMC app because the screen is broken, so
4:54
that was not usable. And then of course, the keys,
4:57
everything was locked inside and I had to survive.
5:02
It got down to 41° that night and it started raining.
5:09
I, you know, eventually got a locksmith on site who spent all
5:14
like maybe 30 seconds, you know, because I, I didn't close the
5:18
door all the way. I could get my fingers in, but
5:23
I, he had a tool was able to get in there.
5:26
He. Had a.
5:27
Tool. He always had a tool, but but
5:30
God was with me because the fellow campers let me use the
5:35
phone. Her husband, the camper also, he
5:40
was a veteran Army veteran. The campground supervisor was an
5:45
Air Force veteran. He called, he called back to the
5:48
office. The office called around to
5:50
other campgrounds, had a locksmith who sent the guy out.
5:54
It was supposed to cost $175 and he didn't charge me anything.
6:00
Honolulu. Yeah, but that, but that was
6:03
after Hazelu that, but that was after trying to reach out to GMC
6:08
emergency roadside services and it was a scam number who charged
6:14
my son Domino's Pizza and some kind of meat market order out of
6:20
Missouri, your favorite state. And and it was not, it was not
6:26
GMC emergency services. And and then he tried calling
6:31
back in when the camp supervisor was there and and his assistant
6:37
drove up with the right number to reach these other people.
6:42
The original guy called back wanting $200 more, like he was
6:47
trying to extort more money out of me in order to send a
6:51
locksmith out to help me. Extort.
6:54
I mean, I just was like, you know, this is kind of crazy.
6:57
And it was 41°. So if you go on my page in the
7:01
next day or so, it's going to be a it's called The Book of Daryl
7:07
Council Chronicles is going to be spiritual extortion.
7:11
I'm going to put I'm going to write an article about spiritual
7:13
watch me spiritual extortion because that's what happens to
7:17
people who think we're nice people and we are we model who
7:20
God is. But God is also he says there
7:23
will be violence in the Kingdom. The battle is his, not ours.
7:29
And you see how God still the Lord our God still blessed evil,
7:32
that she had to pay a cent. Yeah, nothing.
7:36
I mean, somebody had the opportunity to help and, you
7:39
know, and I was willing to play. Obviously I couldn't pay
7:43
anything because everything was in the truck.
7:45
I had to. I had to call my son to get him
7:47
to help from a number he didn't know.
7:51
Who was this? Yeah.
7:54
The witness protection program. So it was an ordeal, you know,
7:59
so it was kind of anti climatic before I even got to go hunting.
8:02
I mean, it was it was a that that was and experience all on
8:07
his phone. You had 10 trillion hits on
8:12
Meta. Right.
8:16
But yet you still model who God was.
8:18
And that's right. I applaud and well.
8:20
It was God. People are watching, but.
8:23
God put some people to help me through this situation.
8:28
I and I am AI am a, you know, Second Amendment proponent, OK,
8:34
I had people say, why don't you just go and knock on somebody's
8:37
door at 2:00 AM? Well, because I don't know what
8:40
somebody's going to open the door up with at 2:00 in the
8:44
morning. I'm not stupid, right?
8:47
I mean, I'm going to think operational security and I don't
8:51
know who these people are. I'm not going to go into their
8:55
RV's at 2:00 AM either, right? So there was a certain amount of
8:59
self preservation on A2 pronged approach that if I could wait
9:05
until sunlight and the rain stopped, even if the rain
9:09
stopped, but if I could wait till 7:00 AM and the sunlight
9:12
was out, I was going to be OK. I just had, you know, having
9:18
patience. But my first thing is something
9:20
I talked about on the show last night was my mental training
9:25
went into gear. Think about heat, reserve the
9:28
body heat and then I would be able to think about what were my
9:33
next steps. You outside alone.
9:37
In five hours. So this was beyond dusk.
9:41
This is dark When? Oh yeah, this.
9:42
Was 2:00 in the morning when I do that.
9:45
I mean, I had AI had the other alternative to survival was
9:51
grabbing the sleeping bag and going into the campground
9:55
bathroom. But that is an all concrete
9:58
structure. And though while it would have
10:02
kept me, it would have kept me dry, it would not have kept me
10:07
warm. So.
10:08
We would have had to see a chiropractor on massage.
10:11
You. Know I even got a massage for
10:12
sure. But I had a heater my brother
10:14
had told me on the way up there. Hey, you ought to stop at
10:18
Walmart and get this little buddy propane heater.
10:21
Daryl, That thing put out some heat and I listened to I I don't
10:27
know, maybe that was just not just my brother.
10:29
God was talking to my brother for me because he knew what was
10:33
going to happen. Oh, silly was going to lock
10:35
herself out of the truck. All right, He didn't say that,
10:42
but but, but you know, I was prepared that that's my point is
10:48
that I was prepared, but I had the sleeping bag bags cuz I'll
10:53
tell you privately what happened, why I had to use both
10:56
sleeping bags. And then I had clothes.
10:59
I had my suitcase was in the back of the truck, so I was able
11:02
to put my leggings on and you know, with wool socks, even
11:06
though I'm sitting here barefoot right now, I had wool socks in
11:09
the back of the. Truck veils of evil, y'all.
11:14
Revival story. It could happen to anybody.
11:17
Remember that? A true revivalist tale.
11:21
Yes, yeah. So that that's the point of two
11:25
weeks ago when I was up there visiting my friend after the
11:28
hunt, I said this is my bear not bear story.
11:32
So just bear with me while I tell my not bear story.
11:36
That's how you know. So go watch that episode.
11:39
I do show some scenes from hunting on that that episode.
11:44
That was 2 Saturdays ago. Did you you have footage of the
11:47
processing of the the? No, I didn't take any video.
11:52
Just asking questions man, I'm just.
11:54
But. That would have been a real no
11:56
thank. You thank you can see, but you
11:59
can see where I shot it. Yeah, Steve.
12:03
Steve recorded that and I mean it was good Ani was representing
12:08
of. Course.
12:10
Girls. Girls can shoot.
12:11
Oh, no Navy folk around. So, yeah, yeah.
12:15
I don't know can can Navy. Shoot.
12:17
Oh yeah, yes, I can still shoot. Yeah.
12:23
Yeah, right. Yeah, right.
12:25
What practice did you have on that then?
12:33
When Daryl was younger, he could do a whole lot of things.
12:35
Branch rivalry. Idiot, but he's good.
12:40
I told the job out there when I was hunting because Steve and
12:45
Patrick are both both the Air Force and, and Patrick was
12:51
getting the tripod positioned where he because that's where
12:54
he's going to mount the gun on. And he started doing like a
12:59
little low crawl move and was like, oh look, Air Force can
13:02
roll, can low crawl. And if you guys didn't know Air
13:07
Force, they have soft serve ice cream.
13:10
They go home about 5:00 every single time.
13:13
And we always get nudged for the 9:00 to 5:00 where everybody
13:15
else is out here working. Well, that's why in the Army we
13:18
call them chair force. You know, really it was like,
13:22
man, they can roll, you guys can low cross What?
13:27
And then they go home. So yeah, you know, it's.
13:31
Funny, good, good, you know, good sibling, you know, sibling
13:36
branch rivalry at its best and that's.
13:40
We can mess with each other, but you better not.
13:44
So anywho, you want to launch us into prayer?
13:47
Absolutely. They're the Father, Son, and the
13:49
Holy Spirit. Lord, we thank you for
13:51
fellowship. We thank you for your ever
13:54
presence and our time of need, want and desire.
13:56
We thank you for your Son Christ Jesus, our Lord, Savior,
13:59
Redeemer and King and Head of our lives.
14:02
We thank you for the power, glory, the essence of the Holy
14:04
Spirit that gives us wisdom, knowledge, understanding,
14:09
insight, and discernment for all matters of our lives.
14:12
So, Lord, as we leave this place, O Lord of prayer, in the
14:16
going to your study about Exodus, we also again thank you
14:20
and we praise you in the lame that is indeed Christ Jesus in
14:23
the presence of the Holy Spirit, that your son, daughter, friends
14:27
and servants, we say Amen, Amen and Amen.
14:30
The name is Father, Son, Holy Spirit, Amen.
14:33
So before we get started, you know the setup is a little
14:38
different. This is the patio and we are
14:41
outside. I I love my outdoor living area.
14:45
Oh. Shoot, she did it.
14:47
She did that. So this was important.
14:50
You know, it's nice that now there's the temperature is is
14:54
getting a little bit cooler, they get a.
14:56
Little. It is not 115° in Texas today.
14:59
A little. Is it like 80?
15:00
Getting a little toasty right now, but we're, you know, in the
15:04
shade. So hopefully while the weather
15:07
is cool, we'll host these next, you know, maybe month or so of
15:12
shows out here on the patio and just kind of enjoying the fresh
15:18
air outside. Hopefully you guys don't hear
15:21
any of the air. You heard, you heard one.
15:25
The airplane, I don't know if the there's there's a noise
15:28
cancelling, the noise cancelling might put out.
15:31
The right over there. Yeah, there's an airfield near
15:35
here. So anyways, I'm going to go
15:37
ahead and get into. There's a also a change with
15:41
stream Yard, so we cannot show it on screen.
15:45
For some reason, it's not going to allow us to show the
15:49
scripture on screen, but we will still be able to read it to you
15:53
all for the listening audience. So we are going to jump into
16:01
Exodus chapter 2, the birth of Moses.
16:05
Now a man of the tribe of Levi married a Levite woman and she
16:10
became pregnant and gave birth to a son.
16:13
When she saw that he was a fine child, she hid him for three
16:17
months. But when she could hide him no
16:19
longer, she got a papyrus basket for him and coated it with tar
16:24
and pitch. Then she placed the child in it
16:27
and put it among the reeds along the Bank of the Nile.
16:31
His sister stood at a distance to see what would happen to him.
16:35
Then Pharaoh's daughter went down to the Nile to bathe, and
16:39
her attendants were walking along the riverbank.
16:42
She saw the basket among the reeds and sent her female slave
16:46
to get it. She opened it and saw the baby.
16:49
He was crying and she felt sorry for him.
16:52
This is one of the Hebrew babies, she said.
16:55
Then his sister asked Pharaoh's daughter, shall I go and get one
17:00
of the Hebrew women to nurse the baby for you?
17:03
Yes, go, she answered. So the girl went and got the
17:07
baby's mother. Pharaoh's daughter said to her,
17:10
Take this baby and nurse him for me, and I will pay you.
17:14
So the woman took the baby and nursed him.
17:17
When the child grew older, she took him to Pharaoh's daughter
17:20
and he became her son. She named him Moses and saying,
17:26
saying, I drew him out of the water.
17:28
Moses flees to Midian. One day after Moses had grown
17:34
up, he went out to where his own people were and watched them at
17:39
their hard labor. He saw an Egyptian beating a
17:42
Hebrew, one of his own people looking this way in that and
17:46
seeing no one, he killed the Egyptian and hit him in the
17:50
sand. The next day he went out and saw
17:53
two Hebrews fighting. He asked the one in the wrong.
17:56
Why are you hitting your fellow Hebrew?
17:59
The man said, Who made you ruler and judge over us?
18:03
Are you thinking of killing me as you killed the Egyptian?
18:07
Then Moses was afraid and thought what I did must have
18:11
become known. When Pharaoh heard of this, he
18:15
tried to kill Moses, But Moses fled from Pharaoh and went to
18:19
live in Midian, where he sat down by a well.
18:22
Now a priest of Midian had seven daughters, and they came to draw
18:26
water and fill the troughs to water their father's flock.
18:30
Some shepherds came along and drove them away, but Moses got
18:34
up and came to their rescue and watered their flock.
18:38
When the girls returned to Raul, their father, he asked them, Why
18:42
have you returned so early today?
18:45
They answered. An Egyptian rescued us from the
18:48
shepherds. He even drew water for us and
18:50
watered the flock. And where is he?
18:53
Raul asked his daughters. Why did you leave him?
18:57
Invite him to have something to eat.
19:01
Moses agreed to stay with the man who gave his daughter
19:04
Zipporah to Moses in marriage. Zipporah gave birth to a son and
19:10
Moses named him Gershom, saying I have become a foreigner in a
19:14
foreign land. During that long period, the
19:18
king of Egypt died. The Israelites groaned in their
19:21
slave slavery and cried out, and their cry for help because of
19:26
the slavery went up to God. God heard their groaning and he
19:30
remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with
19:33
Jacob. So God looked on the Israelites
19:36
and was concerned about them these.
19:40
Significant blessings to the reading here and the professor
19:43
of our faith in His Word. Amen.
19:46
Pretty insightful. It is, yes.
19:48
It is where you want to start. You know, that's where I think
19:53
we start at the top. There was a part of me that, you
19:58
know, we have three days, three months, you know, there's some,
20:04
there's some significance with three, but you got the Father
20:09
and Son and the Holy Ghost, you know, So there was that that was
20:17
a. The first thing that came to
20:19
mind as I was reading is, and then I got to the part about the
20:23
papyrus basket and thinking about the tar and pitch and I
20:27
was like, well, where have we heard tar and pitch before?
20:29
Ark. Ark Noah, I was like, you know,
20:32
this is where technology, technology is a big thing these
20:37
days, right? How much does technology change
20:40
over time? And in this case, they used what
20:47
worked. This was a method that had not
20:49
changed. Even the difference between them
20:52
being in Egypt versus Noah and where he started out from.
20:59
I don't know. I just thought that was it is
21:01
interesting. Yeah.
21:02
So you see there are two arcs and then there'll be 1/3.
21:07
You know. What's Ark?
21:08
Yeah, there's this Ark and there's the Ark of the Covenant.
21:10
I didn't ever really think about this one as prescription.
21:14
OK, I didn't ever really think about this papyrus basket as
21:19
being an ark, but I guess it it is, and that it's carrying, it's
21:26
a vessel for carrying a. Spine Child.
21:29
Yeah, I don't know. So yeah.
21:33
So you correlated as what was important, it was placed within.
21:39
So the original ark, Noah's ark was very important because who
21:43
was within this is very important because if this child
21:47
has not been in this ark, he would have been destroyed.
21:51
The, the the daughters were able to live, but the sons would be
21:55
where they would, they would perish in, in denial.
21:58
And then the last one is the Ark of the Covenant, which in fact
22:03
Moses saw built. It's amazing it was.
22:09
Amazing the full cycle of. It Moses was there when, when
22:14
that ark was built. So we we would come to find out
22:18
that people can try to debunk and debate and argue scripture
22:22
all day, but it's, it's consistent.
22:24
Yeah. But then I'm visualizing, you
22:27
know, there's a, this is not hard to visualize with the movie
22:32
that we've seen, you know, 10 Commandments.
22:34
How many times have I watched the 10 Commandments?
22:37
But, you know, you just kind of visualize this, you know, young
22:43
woman is out there bathing. She's got her attendance, but I
22:47
don't know that I necessarily had ever picked up that it was
22:50
his own sister. It was Moses's own sister, Mary,
22:55
and that that was there conveniently.
22:59
I mean, I had heard about him going to his mother, but I
23:02
didn't ever pick up on the sister.
23:03
Right, His own sister. And then what happened is that
23:07
she went to Pharaoh's daughter and said these things.
23:10
And Pharaoh's daughter said, Oh yes, go get a go, get a good
23:13
idea. So now solving a problem, Joseph
23:16
and his mother's, that's his mother's name, Joseph says.
23:19
She takes Joseph and Joseph is getting paid for almost.
23:22
Yeah, right. Egyptian wages.
23:26
Yeah, but but she has the convenience of, oh, by the way,
23:31
being able to nurse him and nobody ever questioning, well,
23:35
where was your child? I mean, you know, I don't know
23:40
that they had made that connection that she gave birth
23:45
to this particular child, but because maybe because there had
23:50
been so many deaths of the male, you know, that there will
23:56
probably be it was. A tragedy all in his.
23:58
Own yeah, a trauma in and of itself, but how many other women
24:04
probably were in that same situation where they had
24:07
delivered the milk came and yet they had nothing, no baby to
24:13
give to to nurse. Yeah, I don't know that would
24:18
that would have been a huge mixed blessing for her to be in
24:24
that situation. Survived.
24:26
Yeah, but but then as he gets older, now she has to give it to
24:33
give it back to Pharaoh's daughter and let her raise him
24:38
in Egyptian ways, not in Hebrew ways.
24:41
That would be a conflict in and of itself, you know.
24:45
You, even you as a mother, yeah, you know, father's probably
24:50
different, But you as a mother who birthed this child and
24:52
brought the child into the world and had first contacted this
24:56
child inside and out to have this child taken away from you,
25:00
there's a whole nother set of dynamics that we can't even
25:04
realize. You may know where the child is.
25:07
You may in glancing you see time to time, but he's gone.
25:12
Well, I would think that there had to have been some kind of
25:15
relationship between that family and working for the household,
25:20
for Pharaoh's household to begin with.
25:22
So maybe she could have even been one of the servants within
25:26
the household. You know, I could visualize
25:29
that. She and Miriam.
25:31
Yeah, that that would have been, you know, is she had that was a
25:38
huge risk to even put him in the basket and do that at all.
25:44
And hope. Yeah, hope and pray that he
25:47
doesn't get killed so, but somehow this huge favor is laid
25:53
upon him and he was spared from the demise that all these other
25:58
Hebrew boys what do. We think about the Nile.
26:01
You know, it's fertile, but it's got alligators and it has snakes
26:06
and it has, you know, other, all sorts of other types of fish
26:11
critters, critters, right? Think.
26:13
Of Texas word critters. Critters that'll be on the menu,
26:16
you know, in some parts of Texas, but God navigated him to
26:21
save Harbor and here we are. That would have that would have
26:26
been definitely, you know, that that mom side of things, moral
26:34
courage to even attempt to do that.
26:37
I mean, that would be tough. I mean, she hit him for three
26:43
months until she couldn't hide him any longer.
26:45
Because I'm sure the crying and wailing would have woken up
26:50
neighbors and stuff. But still that, you know, to put
26:54
that kind of faith and to put the child in the papyrus basket
26:59
like that and not think that some demise could come upon him
27:05
would, would be tough. Yeah, that would be tough for
27:10
sure. It's amazing every time we we
27:16
hear about the story, read it, it's, it's just more amazing
27:18
because it really impacts us as parents today and as followers
27:23
of the Lord our God. But then there's the also part
27:27
about Pharaoh's daughter in the role of this, because she's
27:31
putting forth these these wages to pay her.
27:36
That's a risk that she took. This was years now.
27:39
Yeah, yeah. So that that household was
27:41
flourishing. Right, but that still would have
27:44
been some risk of hers, even as her daughter and not getting
27:49
found out. What do you mean you've been
27:51
paying for this Hebrew boy to? Be.
27:56
Right. And you can you dare, you know,
28:01
Can you imagine her explain to your father, Big Daddy, I
28:05
promise it. Just it, just it.
28:08
You know, you can try to explain away.
28:10
And she must have had Pharaoh so Papa wrapped around her pinky to
28:15
have been able to expend the money to support this, you know,
28:21
young man even and now and then coming into the household as.
28:28
As a baby, really a Hebrew baby. What made him so special that to
28:32
raise him up? But now I think the trickier
28:37
part is even Moses's own perception about who he was in
28:45
the community. Came in a question.
28:46
Well, you know, I think as we get into it and we're reading
28:50
this, we. Read it.
28:51
Yeah, we read it, I mean. Somehow thought that he was
28:56
impervious to anybody thing. Careful, careful about the
29:01
prying eyes, folks. People are watching you even
29:05
when you think nobody's watching you.
29:07
And that proves it as we get into, we read it, but we're
29:10
going to get into it. Yeah.
29:12
He didn't think anybody was going to notice.
29:14
It well, not just. Nobody said he killed and he
29:16
buried him in the sand. You're right.
29:19
And and he said and he says looking this way and that,
29:23
seeing no one, he killed the Egyptian and hit him in the
29:27
sand. The next day the two Hebrews,
29:30
and we'll talk in a minute about the fighting part of it, but
29:35
they somebody saw. Him, one of them were.
29:40
Both well, or maybe somebody else, but it got to them and
29:44
Moses thought he was bringing. Clear.
29:47
Bringing clear I want to say above, he thought he was better
29:52
than. All he was doing was helping his
29:54
people. Right.
29:56
But somebody saw and they thought and interpreted that he
30:01
was, well, who are you to claim? Judge and jury?
30:06
Really, Who do you think you are?
30:10
So what do you, what do you think about the fighting between
30:13
the two of them, The two Hebrews, though?
30:18
They're enslaved. They had a lot of thoughts,
30:22
feelings and emotions going on. They didn't look at Moses as a
30:27
deliverer. They looked at him perhaps as an
30:30
equal because they knew something about him that Moses
30:34
didn't know. Moses killed us, they said the
30:37
next day. So he's these two, one of them
30:41
or somebody else that knew identify who Moses was because
30:45
he killed the Egyptian And the guy said basically, who do you
30:50
think you are you thinking of killing me like you killed the
30:53
Egyptian? Moses said, Oh my God, this is
30:55
this is known. Then it says, because we read
30:59
it, Pharaoh sought to kill Moses.
31:02
The news got back to Pharaoh, who had taken Moses in as a son.
31:08
Now the edict has to. Come down and he has to die just
31:12
think what was going on in the palace because his daughter knew
31:17
that the edict was that Moses was going to die and remember
31:20
this she. Gave Moses.
31:22
The name. Not, not his mother.
31:25
Josephine, she gave him the name Drawing out of Water.
31:29
So we need to be in a position, yeah, it's even mentioned just a
31:34
few moments ago. We have to be aware that
31:37
somebody's always not only watching, but listening.
31:41
That's why it's very important to model who God is to us and
31:44
for us. But.
31:46
I thought it was. Interesting, because there's no
31:48
distinction between all of those conversations that they knew
31:53
that he was a Hebrew, right? Right.
31:55
So they didn't know that I saw an Egyptian garb.
31:59
Now. Moses knew that they were
32:02
Hebrews. And the point I was getting.
32:05
At about them arguing was that he didn't he didn't like what
32:11
the Egyptians were was doing to the his own people right,
32:15
because he knew he was Hebrew. I'm guessing somehow his
32:18
biological mother told him we him between.
32:22
Miriam, Joseph and his mother and and Pharaohs he he knew.
32:27
What his role was within the context of how how he was being
32:31
raised. But these two Hebrew men, I
32:36
don't think he recognized what Moses was pointing out to him.
32:43
Your fight shouldn't be. Amongst each other.
32:47
You're both Hebrew. You're both on the same team.
32:50
What's the problem here? I mean, I think this is where
32:53
Darryl, you and I both know in even in veteran circles, in
32:58
families, why are we fighting the people that we're supposed
33:01
to be on the same team with? Because sometimes that's what
33:05
they know well, even as. Americans, why are we fighting
33:11
each other? That's the whole point.
33:13
I think the take away, if we're looking at getting along better
33:19
as a nation, as a state, you know, families down to that
33:26
granular level, who are you fighting?
33:31
Why are you really fighting the very people you know that we're
33:34
supposed to be getting along? I can't answer that.
33:36
They don't they they just is what they know.
33:38
But I think that's what he. Was pointing out to them your
33:41
issue is with the Egyptians not with each other and they got
33:45
angry with. Him right?
33:47
For stopping them. Right, doing something they're
33:50
not supposed to be doing. Because if it hadn't been Moses,
33:52
Moses found somebody. Somebody else who Egyptian when
33:54
they came along. Probably I.
33:57
Think, I think Moses. Thought he was writing it wrong.
34:00
He was writing it wrong. With the Egyptian, we would
34:03
think that. Right.
34:04
Yeah. Hey, hey, hey, hey.
34:05
Guys, come on. All right.
34:07
Are you so? Wronged by each other that you
34:10
have to literally beat each other up and think that that's
34:13
OK and then they turned on. Moses, yeah.
34:16
Right. I don't know.
34:19
I think that's what we had to think about.
34:21
Who is your enemy? Who is your enemy?
34:24
So wait a minute, there's a scripture that says, am I now
34:27
your enemy because I tell you the truth?
34:29
So Moses became their enemy. Right, he became their.
34:34
Enemy SO. Moses only other option is you
34:39
leave. You gotta leave, I get.
34:41
It you know, don't take nothing, just.
34:44
To go, but I notice how they changed.
34:46
The the scripture here it it changed from Pharaoh to king
34:51
right I. Mean I don't.
34:52
Know Pharaoh and King they're. Interchanging, I know, but.
34:56
I noticed that when I read the Scripture, as I read it, it
35:00
didn't refer to the Pharaoh again.
35:03
It referred to when the, you know, the king died.
35:06
Yeah. So I thought it was interesting
35:09
how Scroll back down. Remember Moses, the author.
35:13
Of this of Genesis, Exodus, Deuteronomy, Leviticus, Numbers,
35:19
he's he's the author of the of the five books of the first five
35:22
books depend to so that's what he wrote the king, king and
35:26
Pharaoh, the same thing, right? I just thought it was it was
35:30
unusual. How he?
35:31
Changed the vernacular from Pharaoh to king, and I think
35:35
that probably had to. It's a change in respect from
35:39
the position he when he was living in Egypt, Pharaoh was the
35:45
vert was the title. When he now that he's left, he's
35:51
just a king and I'm not part of that household anymore.
35:55
Right this. Is.
35:57
A public administration governance moment.
36:01
I mean, that's huge. I I mean, that's that light
36:04
switch flipping on within Moses and making this title change
36:10
because he's not part of Pharaoh's household anymore.
36:13
He's. Removed.
36:14
And now he's just a king. Yep, he's the leader of that
36:17
land. I'm.
36:18
I'm not part of that. There's no reverence.
36:21
Right, right, right. Right.
36:23
I don't know. That's an amazing.
36:25
You didn't ever pick up on. That because I knew they're.
36:29
Interchangeable. Not not having a discussion,
36:31
right? Not having a discussion, right?
36:34
I don't know. Something I that was something
36:36
that I picked up when I read and again.
36:40
You can read scripture all you want to, but it's always
36:44
something you missed. There's a thought process.
36:46
There's something that you just, you didn't overlook it, you just
36:48
missed it. Well, so.
36:50
The next part that I got interest is that, you know,
36:55
sitting down by the well, water plays an important part in the
37:00
Bible. I mean, there from beginning to
37:03
end, water plays an important part.
37:07
You know, one of the biggest visuals even about Jesus is
37:11
sitting by the well and talking with the prostitute that, you
37:16
know, there is this feeding. Everybody needs to get fed and
37:19
there's always that reference to Jesus and water.
37:25
So this is this is. Not by coincidence, I don't
37:28
think about here we're having a reference to finding finding
37:35
people by the well at the water, yet I don't know if we don't
37:39
have. Water, we don't live right in
37:42
Christ. Is the.
37:42
Living water is the living water.
37:45
So I just thought that was something interesting.
37:47
And then about the patience of the flock being watered, you
37:53
know they're there in reference talking about the sheep flock
37:59
getting watered, but that's, but the people are also getting
38:03
watered as well. So.
38:06
But then. I I thought it was interesting
38:10
how when the girls go back home to talk to her older father,
38:15
they referenced about Moses as an Egyptian rescued us.
38:21
So they have not made the connection that that this
38:25
Egyptian is really a Hebrew. What are your thoughts?
38:33
It's the way it's I. Mean because it's the identity.
38:35
Visually, they looked at him as an.
38:37
Egyptian, right? They had no idea is Hebrew
38:40
right? He's visually.
38:41
Closed sounds long maybe? Maybe it's just some some
38:46
eyeliner or somewhere right his. I want to say character and
38:51
charisma of things. Countenance is very is speaking
38:55
very Egyptian, not Hebrew all although you would think there's
39:02
probably going to be some nuances of the Hebrew that comes
39:05
out based upon you know his affiliation and still being part
39:10
of his mother's and sisters I. Agree.
39:15
I don't know that those. Yeah, there is that part.
39:19
Where I was telling you the king of Egypt died.
39:22
So that reverence changed, you know, because he wasn't at that
39:26
point, wasn't considering him as part of.
39:28
And he's on the run. Yeah.
39:32
He's on the run now. This I thought.
39:36
This, this one of these last sentence.
39:38
The Israelites groaned in their slavery slavery and cried out
39:43
and their cry for help. I thought it was interesting the
39:46
choice of words. Now I know you're saying that
39:49
Moses wrote this, but. The way it's.
39:54
Written and saying the Israelites groaned in their
39:58
slavery and cried out. I thought that.
40:02
The choice of words. On groaning is.
40:08
What is interesting? OK, so when?
40:10
We go back to the very top of the narrative, not in this, not
40:13
in this section, but another section.
40:16
It says that when Pharaoh saw that the Hebrews were
40:19
multiplying, right? In chapter 1, yeah, taskmasters
40:23
over them. Right, so.
40:27
Scripture may be silent. About what the Egyptian
40:30
taskmasters did to the men and women who are Hebrews.
40:35
But I have a pretty good idea. Wasn't anything good.
40:38
So the groaning was it was just continued labor, forced labor
40:42
conscription. It was just it was continued
40:46
trauma and drama, as we like to say, from the hood and and so
40:50
I'm just saying, but I but I would.
40:53
Think even from that context about women as well.
40:57
It's not always about the physical slavery side of things.
41:02
It's a very relevant term that we're using in the 21st century
41:07
of sexual slavery, if we would have.
41:10
Been sexual as. Well, those he those.
41:12
Egyptian overlords did as they pleased.
41:18
You know, we don't have to draw your picture.
41:20
They just deal with they pleased.
41:21
In fact, when when the exodus happened out of Egypt crossing
41:24
the Red Sea, some of those Egyptian people who are named
41:28
came with the Hebrews who probably some of those children
41:31
that was born by some of those women.
41:33
So you know, you don't have to grab graduated from MIT to
41:37
figure all of this out. It was, it was 430 years.
41:41
I just think it's. Important for us to acknowledge
41:44
if we're talking about us as veterans in DSM 5 and our having
41:50
a, you know, the revivalist is about the veteran ministry
41:55
geared towards moral injury, healing and recovery.
41:58
And as many times as I keep talking about it and I'm happy
42:02
to talk about it. I was even talking about it on
42:04
my trip is, you know, and wherever I go, I'm always
42:08
promoting both of my shows. You know, it's, it's always, I
42:13
think the more we can tell folks about what we do with military
42:18
broadcasting, it's always somebody who didn't hear the.
42:20
Show somebody. Somebody.
42:21
'S needing some help or if they even if they don't need it, they
42:25
can they know somebody who needs help.
42:27
But but we are a veteran ministry geared towards moral
42:31
injury, healing and recovery, helping to put God as the center
42:35
of our true moral compass, the north right, true north of our
42:40
moral compass. And it's important for us to,
42:44
you know, like I was talking about my show yesterday.
42:49
I told you briefly that I discussed about the execution of
42:53
Hassan right coming up in December.
42:58
People probably are. Having this dialogue, I'm seeing
43:02
some of the postings on Facebook already.
43:05
Should we watch it? Shouldn't we watch it?
43:07
Maybe it should be pay-per-view only, not the public consumption
43:13
side of things. And I I think the most
43:17
important. Question we each have.
43:20
To ask for ourselves is what is right for us and and go to God
43:25
with that question. That's what it looks like that
43:30
they are planning on doing is showing it live.
43:34
But that's where I think we have to, we have to go to God,
43:39
whether that is something for us to watch or not to watch.
43:44
Is it going to cause trauma, moral injury or maybe it helps
43:52
somebody with some kind of moral healing and recovery that what
43:56
they have fought for is not off or not.
43:59
I think there's both sides of the coin to look at, but that's
44:04
really a question and answer between you and God before you
44:08
watch it or you don't watch it and that's not for me to or you
44:12
to answer or anybody else. You've got to ask God, is it
44:17
right for you when we're. Doing our show, this is not us
44:22
attempting to play a role on quiz show.
44:25
This is it's in scripture. And maybe some people don't
44:31
agree with our point of view, our perspective, particularly
44:36
when we talk about moral injury. But I'll tell you, the people
44:40
that you will run into who have been victims of moral injury,
44:44
then even now they'll tell you it's all relevant.
44:50
Well, if you're if. You're, you know, looking at
44:52
whether you would, would or should you know not that you
44:57
could, you we all can, but whether you would or should is
45:02
is it? Is it going to cause?
45:05
You trauma, is it going to cause you moral injury or does it come
45:10
down to helping you heal right. I mean, I think that's that's
45:16
really I think the right frame of reference for folks to look
45:20
at that. But that's between you and God
45:22
because no matter what happens here on earth, God's going to
45:25
take care of him and them. And I say them because I told
45:30
you before the show the part that I really, the people who
45:35
I'm really praying for are the ones who are going to be doing
45:39
the firing. And I think.
45:43
For those folks, those are, I say folks because it'd be men
45:48
and women. Those are the folks who I don't
45:52
want to, I'm going to use this word.
45:54
I don't want to be caught in the crossfire of the dialogue.
45:58
Well, how did you know? You just imagine those, those
46:01
nosy news people. How did that feel?
46:06
Pulling the trigger to kill somebody does.
46:09
Anybody ever want? To answer that question, I mean,
46:12
I think only to say this, but that happens with the people who
46:17
you know, served on deployments and have had, you know, they
46:21
were following orders and they get caught.
46:25
You still had a choice, no? No, I didn't.
46:28
Actually. No, I didn't.
46:29
I was given an order. I don't follow the order, then
46:32
something's going to happen to me.
46:34
So we, we understand that as veterans that when we're given
46:37
orders, direct orders that we have to comply and we don't
46:41
comply, then there's something called a non judicial punishment
46:45
or judicial or. Judicial food that will occur.
46:47
To us, so it's, yeah, we understand not because we're
46:51
afraid, it's because we enlisted to serve our country at the
46:57
highest and the lowest in the middle part levels.
46:59
So that's what we do. That's what we did.
47:01
But in this case. How it always sums?
47:05
Up back to Moses is that Moses believed morally and ethically
47:12
that he was doing the right thing and the right thing got
47:15
him in his predicament where he had to flee the comfort of the
47:19
palace to go to the desert for 40 years.
47:23
Well, you know you. Think about it.
47:25
The you know, you're right, The his, his he thought in his moral
47:31
context of things that killing, killing the Egyptian who was
47:36
harming the the Hebrew was the right thing to do.
47:41
Well, somebody would have missed that guy, right?
47:43
I mean, no matter how bad a guy he was supposed to.
47:49
Be back today. He still had a family.
47:51
Somebody would have been questioning where he was and you
47:55
can only imagine Moses is probably on a horse and you know
47:58
he would have had certain privileges being part of
48:01
Pharaohs household. Somebody would have missed that
48:04
guy. Somebody would have connected
48:06
the dots you. Know.
48:08
That saw Moses right through there.
48:14
But if this is Moses accounting of things, he's not going to be
48:19
able to, he's not going to give us all the weeds either.
48:22
Or maybe the weeds were edited out for us.
48:25
You know, he could have written it all way back when.
48:28
But certain, you know, people who know how to edit the Bible
48:33
way back when chose to, you know, omit some of these details
48:38
that we would be, you know, that's what that means.
48:41
The weeds. Details.
48:42
OK, Yeah. I mean, but but somebody missed
48:47
out and then you had these two observant, you know, Hebrews who
48:52
recognized who he was and it had already gotten back to them.
48:58
But. They somehow.
48:59
Thought that there was some kind of moral indignation against
49:05
them, because are you going to do to me what you did to them?
49:11
They had every right to fear Moses, right?
49:13
Because they saw something. Either they saw or somebody saw,
49:16
but you would think in some way they.
49:18
Would think, hey dude, thanks for looking out for us.
49:22
But they instead they. Didn't say thank you for looking
49:25
out for us. You are you are you going to?
49:27
We got something on you. Yeah, we got something on you,
49:31
right? It's always about.
49:32
The chance are you going to do that to us?
49:35
Forget that he had was saving one of their own.
49:40
Or maybe. They were making the leap.
49:42
That he was going to do the same thing to them, but he saved one
49:45
of them, so the one he saved. I'm thinking when he told
49:48
someone who identified Moses, that's him.
49:51
Oh, that's a good. Way I didn't think.
49:54
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
49:58
He because he, the Egyptian, didn't kill the guy.
50:00
The Egyptian got killed, but the guy who got saved when he told
50:04
right his folk, yeah. Loose lips sink.
50:08
Ships man. Oh my goodness.
50:13
It's always a snitch, Somebody somewhere, you know something
50:18
the guy got saved from getting a beaten and or being murdered.
50:22
He. Goes and tell.
50:24
Moses come back the next day, everybody know he's a full
50:28
description of Moses. Everybody know who he is and now
50:31
Moses has to Moses has to confront these two people say,
50:36
oh, you're going to kill us like you killed the Egyptian.
50:38
Now you got to run for his life because he knows it's known and
50:41
it was known well, he said somebody missed this guy, right?
50:46
It got. Back to Pharaoh.
50:47
Pharaoh says, well, I, I told you we had to kill all them
50:52
Hebrews and look what happens. Yeah, right.
50:55
He called his daughter on the carpet, the whole thing, or the
50:58
palace floor, whatever. Imagine Pharaoh.
51:00
Was not happy that night, but he had to make an example.
51:04
He had to he. Had to make an.
51:06
Example out of him, you couldn't let it slide because he killed.
51:08
An Egyptian. It wasn't Hebrew.
51:09
He killed an Egyptian. You know, you.
51:11
You. Almost think I just had this
51:13
thought how much the story would have been different if Moses
51:17
hadn't done that at all. We wouldn't.
51:20
Have Exodus the way we know it now.
51:22
You know the man. Yeah, God would have used
51:23
somebody else. Yeah, now.
51:26
Moses. But because he.
51:28
Had to escape. Let's see how many.
51:32
Escapes have. We had, we've had a bunch of
51:35
escapes already from Genesis and right, I mean, think about it,
51:41
we've had. Abraham escape.
51:46
Yeah, well, Noah, actually Noah escape he.
51:48
Escaped. He escaped the.
51:50
Flood, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob.
51:52
Yeah, Joseph. I think this is more.
51:55
Messaging for you in the Chronicles in.
51:58
You know what? I'm gonna light it up this week,
52:01
y'all. I'm gonna this the the the the
52:05
great escapes of the Bible. Think about it.
52:10
But how many of? Us How many of us, even as
52:14
veterans, left situations and joined the military?
52:23
I had. I had to.
52:24
Leave East Saint Louis and my my choices were minimized working
52:30
some menial job perhaps or become a pharmaceutical sidewalk
52:34
salesman, you know, drug dealer. So no, I was not interested.
52:38
I had always wanted to go into the Navy ever since I saw
52:41
anchors away with Gene Kelly and Fred Astaire.
52:43
I think the other gentleman was so I, when you saw that Cracker
52:47
Jack suit and that hat man and, and, and you had to go.
52:52
So I knew that I was going to go into the Navy.
52:54
I always knew I didn't want to go anywhere else, not because I
52:57
was, you know, they, they were lower class.
53:00
I just want to go in the Navy. And I'm glad that I did because
53:03
when I look back on before I left, when I was about to leave
53:08
and after I left, some of the people that I grew up with are
53:10
no longer with us because they took those routes.
53:14
I I think you. Know mine was escaping small
53:18
town and there was more than growing up in Grand Prairie.
53:23
I didn't want to do my my at the Grand Prairie we see today.
53:28
Yeah, it's not the same. And it was, you know, it was a
53:30
much smaller town back then, but I knew that there was more to
53:34
life for me than being a secretary that my mom wanted me
53:38
to. That was her, for instance,
53:39
saying who just could be a secretary?
53:41
And I just was like, I don't want to do it.
53:44
He was like, uh oh. You don't see.
53:47
Any boy in being a secretary, he was like.
53:50
You know, there's more to. Life than doing that.
53:53
So no, we're not doing that. Yeah, yeah.
53:57
Generational. It won't, it won't continue.
54:00
No, it stops. It stops with me.
54:02
No, Yeah, there's. More to even adventure in life.
54:05
Well, I shoot it back home, too. Oh, they got a secretarial pool
54:08
I. Then what we're.
54:12
Talking about today then what? Yeah, I just.
54:15
No, that was not going to be the writing on the wall for Eva.
54:19
There was. So what do you do?
54:21
I'm. Secretary.
54:21
Oh, where? Right.
54:23
And it keeps going. Yeah, you know there.
54:26
Was there was a guy that I went out with?
54:29
I was a junior, Eva dated. Yeah.
54:34
Very minimal, this just in breaking.
54:36
News. I was like, maybe one of the
54:40
whole. Five dates in my life.
54:42
I, I, I don't have much dating experience, but I say that
54:47
because, you know, I saw that even this guy, nice guy, but was
54:53
not going to go anywhere. And I just, I felt, I felt the
54:57
great outdoors calling me, you know, And what was the military?
55:01
It was the great outdoors. It was.
55:03
It was sense of. Adventure that I could be more
55:08
you know what the Army slogan back then be all you can be.
55:12
And that still commercials. It was so good, right?
55:15
But that's still been part of my personas.
55:18
Be all I can be in every facet of my life.
55:22
Be all I can be. I'm just going to perform 100%
55:26
at all levels. And you can see that even here
55:28
at my house, I am. I am body the life, yeah, The
55:34
way I live it, in every form and capacity, you model it
55:37
perfectly. Evil you do even though see I'm
55:41
if you guys ever seen that that TV show monk and Columbo on both
55:45
of them man I I got OCD so bad. It just bothers me to see stuff
55:49
out of place and she makes it happen.
55:53
She can't. Eva has a.
55:56
Schedule. She sticks to the schedule and
55:58
but you know, being in the military, that's what we know.
56:00
We're always on the schedule. We're on the time, we're on the
56:02
timeline. So was Moses, so we.
56:06
Just have a couple minutes left. I've been watching the clock so
56:12
this has been pretty insightful. I think in many ways touching
56:15
back on the biblical side of it, but then also wrapping it into
56:22
current version of DSM 5 for moral injury, healing and
56:27
recovery. Not only the way we lived her
56:30
life just had some moral. Injury because he had to leave.
56:33
Well, for sure. For sure, because every the life
56:38
that he knew was came to an erupt in, but that's how things
56:43
kind of happened for us in the military as well.
56:47
That whatever that life was, we found an A reason to exit stage
56:53
right or exit stage left, however is appropriate for you
56:56
to say, sorry, I'm bumped the table.
56:59
You know that that's important for us to recognize.
57:04
How do we make the? Cognizant connection between
57:10
moral injury that has happened in whatever phase in our life
57:15
and and make that transition into moral healing and recovery
57:20
the desire to. Do so.
57:22
It has to begin with us. We could be prompted and killed
57:25
by anyone else, but inherently it begins with us.
57:29
If you want, you need, you desire to be healed, it begins
57:34
with you. You cannot carry.
57:37
Weight that is not yours anymore.
57:40
The event occurred, but you still have to place yourself in
57:43
a positive position to succeed to ensure that you can begin to
57:48
erase what occurred. You may never forget it, but you
57:52
have to forgive yourself as well.
57:54
Reframe it. I, I always consider, you know,
57:57
you've got to reframe and you know, I have a friend who was
58:02
told, tell yourself 5 positive affirmation every day.
58:07
Well, five may feel like too many, but you know what, what if
58:10
you start out with one positive affirmation a day until you feel
58:14
more comfortable with that, then you can grow it to two.
58:18
These are positive changes that you start making and it doesn't
58:22
feel like you're flipping on a switch and suddenly you're a
58:24
different person, but you're embracing and doing that self
58:28
talk that helps you get through relearning how to live the next
58:33
part of your life. Like we're probably, you know,
58:35
we're going to watch Moses do some transformation to shed the
58:39
Egyptian side and learn how to embrace his Hebrew side self.
58:44
Yes, yes. We can't be everything to
58:46
everybody, but we can be everything that God wants us to
58:50
be. Take that with you today and
58:53
find that one positive affirmation and allow the Lord
58:57
our God to assist you in enhancing it.
59:01
