• 0:12
  Hello friends. It is shown here.
• 0:15
  It is Tuesday. It is the 9th of May and it's so
• 0:19
  good to have your company because boy have you and I got a
• 0:23
  date. You'll never guess with a couple
• 0:25
  more plagues. Yep, we get to play in the
• 0:30
  Fields of locusts and darkness today.
• 0:33
  And then tomorrow, we reach the end game as far as the place go.
• 0:38
  So we continue and your mind may just Boggle along with mine at
• 0:44
  how incredible the resistance of pharaoh is.
• 0:46
  And if you thought he was resistant, I reckon you.
• 0:50
  And I equal his resistance. Sometimes when horror God, is
• 0:53
  trying to communicate something and we just don't hear it.
• 0:57
  But here we see God and His incredible Credibly creative
• 1:01
  response to the stubbornness of the Egyptian ruler.
• 1:06
  So join me. As we read through today.
• 1:09
  In Exodus chapter 10. Then the Lord said to Moses
• 1:24
  returned to pharaoh and make your demands again.
• 1:28
  I have made him and his official stubborn.
• 1:31
  So I can display my miraculous signs among them.
• 1:35
  I've also done it so that you can tell your children and
• 1:39
  grandchildren about how I made a mockery of the Egyptians and
• 1:44
  about the signs, I displayed among them.
• 1:47
  And so you will know that I am the Lord.
• 1:52
  So Moses and Aaron went to pharaoh and said, this is what
• 1:55
  the Lord, the god of the Hebrews says, how long will you refuse
• 2:00
  to submit to me? Let my people go, so they can
• 2:04
  worship me. If you refuse watch out for
• 2:09
  tomorrow, I will bring a swarm of locusts on your country.
• 2:13
  They will cover the land, so that you won't be able to see
• 2:16
  the ground. They will devour what little is
• 2:19
  left of your crops after the hail storm.
• 2:21
  Including all the trees growing in the fields, they will overrun
• 2:26
  your palaces and the homes of your officials, and all the
• 2:30
  houses in Egypt, never in the history of Egypt, have your
• 2:34
  ancestors. Seen a play like this one.
• 2:37
  And with that Moses Turned and Left Pharaoh pharaohs officials.
• 2:42
  Now came to pharaoh, and appeal to him.
• 2:45
  How long will you let this man? Hold us, hostage, let the men go
• 2:49
  to Worship the Lord, their God. Don't you realize that Egypt
• 2:53
  lies in Ruins? So, Moses and Aaron were brought
• 2:57
  back to Pharaoh. All right.
• 2:59
  He told him, go and Worship the Lord your God, but who exactly
• 3:05
  will be going with you? Moses replied.
• 3:08
  We will all go young and old our sons, and daughters and our
• 3:13
  flocks and herds. We must all join together in
• 3:16
  celebrating the Festival of the Lord Farrah retorted.
• 3:20
  The Lord will certainly need to be with you if I let you take
• 3:25
  your little Once I can see through your evil plan, never
• 3:30
  only the men may go and Worship the Lord.
• 3:33
  Since that is what you requested and Pharaoh threw them out of
• 3:37
  the palace. Then the Lord said to Moses,
• 3:41
  raise your hand over the land of Egypt and bring on the locusts.
• 3:46
  Let them cover the land and devour every plant that survived
• 3:50
  the hailstorm. So Moses raised his staff over
• 3:54
  Egypt and the Lord caused an East Wind to blow over the land,
• 3:59
  all that day, and through the night.
• 4:03
  When morning arrived the East Wind had brought the locusts and
• 4:07
  the Locust swarmed over the whole land of Egypt.
• 4:11
  Settling in dense swarms from one end of the country to the
• 4:14
  other, it was the worst Locust plague in Egyptian history and
• 4:20
  there has never been another one like it for the locusts.
• 4:24
  Covered the whole country and darkened.
• 4:26
  The land. They devoured every plant in the
• 4:30
  fields and all the fruit on the tree.
• 4:32
  Is that it Vive. The hailstorm, not a single leaf
• 4:36
  was left on the trees and plants throughout the land of Egypt.
• 4:40
  Pharaoh quickly summoned, Moses and Aaron, I have sinned against
• 4:44
  the Lord, your God, and against you, he confessed forgive my
• 4:49
  sin, just this once and plead with the Lord, your God, to take
• 4:54
  away this death from me. So, Moses left.
• 4:58
  Pharaoh's court and pleaded with the Lord.
• 5:00
  The Lord responded by Shifting The Wind.
• 5:03
  And the strong west wind blew the locusts into the Red Sea,
• 5:08
  not a single Locust, remained in all the land of Egypt, but the
• 5:12
  Lord hardened Pharaoh's heart again, so he refused to let the
• 5:16
  people go. Then the Lord said to Moses,
• 5:20
  lift your hand toward Heaven and the land of Egypt will be
• 5:24
  covered with a Darkness, so thick you can feel it.
• 5:29
  So Moses lifted his hand to the sky and a deep Darkness covered
• 5:34
  the entire land of Egypt for three days during all that time.
• 5:40
  The people could not see each other and no one moved but there
• 5:44
  was light as usual, where the people of Israel.
• 5:46
  Lived, finally, Pharaoh called, for Moses go and Worship the
• 5:52
  Lord. He said, but leave your flocks
• 5:55
  and herds here. You may even take your little
• 5:58
  ones with you. No Moses said, you must provide
• 6:03
  us with animals for sacrifices and burnt offerings to the Lord.
• 6:06
  Our God, all our livestock must go with us to not a hoof can be
• 6:12
  left behind. We must choose our sacrifices
• 6:16
  for the Lord, Our God from among these animals, and we won't know
• 6:20
  how we are to Worship the Lord until we get there.
• 6:24
  But the Lord hardened Pharaoh's heart once more.
• 6:26
  And he would not let them go. Get out of here.
• 6:30
  Pharaoh shouted at Moses. I'm warning.
• 6:33
  You and never come back to see me again.
• 6:36
  The day you see my face. You will die very well.
• 6:41
  Moses replied, I will never see your face again.
• 6:56
  You are the light of light light that shines into our world
• 7:03
  without you. There really is Darkness without
• 7:07
  you. There is not an abiding Joy
• 7:09
  which carries us through this life into the next and eternal
• 7:14
  one in your presence of love and beauty and acceptance. thank you
• 7:20
  for the light that you Sean and Goshen on those days and the
• 7:25
  light that you shine through Jesus on us, Thank you, that we
• 7:33
  are so beloved by you. Thank you that your light fills
• 7:40
  our hearts. And even when the circumstances
• 7:43
  we Face Challengers, Lord, fill us with your light, draw our
• 7:49
  eyes upward to you in your glory.
• 7:54
  And thank you that you make your glory available to us all the

  time. Maybe we always Revel in your
• 8:05
  beautiful, glorious presence. In Jesus name we pray.
