  of

  to

  The

  Lord,
• 1:45
  the

  God
• 1:45
  of

  the

  Hebrews

  please

  us
• 1:49
  go
• 1:49
  a
• 1:49
  three
• 1:49
  days
• 1:50
  journey
• 1:50
  into
• 1:50
  the
• 1:50
  wilderness
• 1:51
  that
• 1:51
  we

  may
• 1:52
  sacrifice
• 1:52
  to
• 1:52
  the
• 1:53
  Lord
• 1:53
  our

  God.
• 1:54
  But
• 1:54
  I
• 1:54
  know
• 1:54
  that
• 1:55
  the
• 1:55
  King
• 1:55
  of
• 1:55
  Egypt
• 1:55
  will
• 1:56
  not
• 1:56
  let
• 1:56
  you
• 1:56
  go
• 1:57
  unless
• 1:57
  compelled
• 1:58
  by
• 1:58
  a
• 1:58
  mighty
• 1:58
  hand.
• 1:59
  So
• 1:59
  I
• 1:59
  will
• 1:59
  stretch
• 2:00
  out
• 2:00
  my
• 2:00
  hand
• 2:00
  and
• 2:01
  strike
• 2:01
  Egypt
• 2:02
  with
• 2:02
  all
• 2:02
  the
• 2:02
  wonders
• 2:03
  that
• 2:03
  I
• 2:03
  will
• 2:03
  do
• 2:03
  in
• 2:03
  it.
• 2:04
  After
• 2:04
  that,
• 2:05
  he
• 2:05
  will
• 2:05
  let
• 2:05
  you
• 2:05
  go.
• 2:06
  And
• 2:06
  I
• 2:06
  will
• 2:06
  give
• 2:07
  this
• 2:07
  people
• 2:07
  favor
• 2:08
  in
• 2:08
  the
• 2:08
  sight
• 2:08
  of
• 2:08
  the
• 2:08
  Egyptians.
• 2:09
  And
• 2:10
  when
• 2:10
  you
• 2:10
  go,
• 2:10
  you
• 2:11
  shall
• 2:11
  not
• 2:11
  go
• 2:11
  empty.
• 2:12
  But
• 2:12
  each
• 2:12
  woman
• 2:13
  shall
• 2:13
  ask
• 2:13
  of
• 2:13
  her
• 2:14
  neighbor
• 2:14
  and
• 2:14
  any
• 2:15
  woman
• 2:15
  who
• 2:15
  lives
• 2:15
  in
• 2:15
  her
• 2:16
  house
• 2:16
  for
• 2:16
  silver
• 2:17
  and
• 2:17
  gold
• 2:18
  jewelry
• 2:19
  and
• 2:19
  for
• 2:19
  clothing,
• 2:20
  you
• 2:20
  shall
• 2:20
  put
• 2:20
  them
• 2:21
  on
• 2:21
  your
• 2:21
  sons
• 2:22
  and
• 2:22
  on
• 2:22
  your
• 2:22
  daughters,
• 2:23
  so
• 2:23
  you
• 2:23
  shall
• 2:23
  plunder
• 2:24
  the
• 2:24
  Egyptians.
• 2:25
  And
• 2:25
  chapter
• 2:26
  four
• 2:26
  begins.
• 2:27
  Then
• 2:27
  Moses
• 2:27
  answered,
• 2:28
  but
• 2:28
  behold,
• 2:29
  they
• 2:29
  will
• 2:29
  not
• 2:29
  believe
• 2:30
  me
• 2:30
  or
• 2:30
  listen
• 2:30
  to
• 2:30
  my
• 2:30
  voice
• 2:31
  for
• 2:31
  they
• 2:31
  will
• 2:32
  say,
• 2:32
  the
• 2:32
  Lord
• 2:33
  did
• 2:33
  not
• 2:33
  appear
• 2:33
  to
• 2:33
  you.
• 2:34
  The
• 2:34
  Lord
• 2:34
  said
• 2:35
  to
• 2:35
  him,
• 2:35
  what
• 2:35
  is
• 2:36
  that
• 2:36
  in
• 2:36
  your
• 2:36
  hand?
• 2:37
  He
• 2:37
  said,
• 2:37
  A
• 2:37
  staff.
• 2:38
  And
• 2:38
  he
• 2:38
  said,
• 2:39
  throw
• 2:39
  it
• 2:39
  on
• 2:39
  the
• 2:39
  ground.
• 2:40
  So
• 2:40
  he
• 2:40
  threw
• 2:41
  it
• 2:41
  on
• 2:41
  the
• 2:41
  ground
• 2:41
  and
• 2:41
  it
• 2:41
  became
• 2:42
  a
• 2:42
  serpent,
• 2:42
  and
• 2:43
  Moses
• 2:43
  ran
• 2:43
  from
• 2:43
  it.
• 2:44
  But
• 2:44
  the
• 2:44
  Lord
• 2:44
  said
• 2:45
  to
• 2:45
  Moses,
• 2:45
  put
• 2:46
  out
• 2:46
  your
• 2:46
  hand
• 2:46
  and
• 2:46
  catch
• 2:47
  it
• 2:47
  by
• 2:47
  the
• 2:47
  tail.
• 2:48
  So
• 2:48
  he
• 2:48
  put
• 2:48
  out
• 2:48
  his
• 2:48
  hand
• 2:49
  and
• 2:49
  caught
• 2:49
  it,
• 2:49
  and
• 2:50
  it
• 2:50
  became
• 2:50
  a
• 2:50
  staff
• 2:51
  in
• 2:51
  his
• 2:51
  hand
• 2:51
  that
• 2:51
  they
• 2:52
  may
• 2:52
  believe
• 2:53
  that
• 2:53
  the
• 2:53
  Lord,
• 2:53
  the
• 2:54
  God
• 2:54
  of

  the

  Abraham,

  the

  God
• 2:56
  of
• 2:56
  Isaac,
• 2:57
  and
• 2:57
  the
• 2:57
  God
• 2:58
  of
• 2:58
  Jacob,
• 2:58
  has
• 2:58
  appeared
• 2:58
  to
• 2:59
  you
• 2:59
  again.
• 2:59
  The
• 3:00
  Lord
• 3:00
  said
• 3:00
  to
• 3:00
  him,
• 3:01
  put
• 3:01
  your
• 3:01
  hand
• 3:01
  inside
• 3:02
  your
• 3:02
  cloak.
• 3:02
  And
• 3:02
  he
• 3:03
  put
• 3:03
  his
• 3:03
  hand
• 3:03
  inside
• 3:04
  his
• 3:04
  cloak
• 3:04
  and
• 3:04
  when

  he
• 3:04
  took
• 3:05
  it
• 3:05
  out,
• 3:05
  behold
• 3:06
  his
• 3:06
  hand
• 3:06
  was
• 3:06
  lepers
• 3:07
  like
• 3:07
  snow.
• 3:08
  Then
• 3:08
  God
• 3:08
  said,
• 3:09
  put
• 3:09
  your
• 3:09
  hand
• 3:09
  back
• 3:10
  inside
• 3:10
  your
• 3:10
  cloak.
• 3:11
  So
• 3:11
  he
• 3:11
  put
• 3:11
  his
• 3:12
  hand
• 3:12
  back
• 3:12
  inside
• 3:12
  his
• 3:12
  cloak
• 3:13
  and
• 3:13
  when
• 3:13
  he
• 3:13
  took
• 3:13
  it
• 3:14
  out,
• 3:14
  behold
• 3:15
  it
• 3:15
  was
• 3:15
  restored
• 3:16
  like
• 3:16
  the
• 3:16
  rest
• 3:16
  of
• 3:16
  his
• 3:17
  flush.
• 3:17
  If
• 3:18
  they
• 3:18
  will
• 3:18
  not
• 3:18
  believe
• 3:18
  you,
• 3:19
  God
• 3:19
  said,
• 3:19
  or
• 3:19
  listen
• 3:20
  to
• 3:20
  the
• 3:20
  first
• 3:20
  sign.
• 3:21
  They
• 3:21
  may
• 3:21
  believe
• 3:22
  the
• 3:22
  ladder
• 3:22
  sign.
• 3:23
  If
• 3:23
  they
• 3:23
  will
• 3:23
  not
• 3:23
  believe
• 3:23
  even
• 3:24
  these
• 3:24
  two
• 3:24
  signs
• 3:25
  or
• 3:25
  listen
• 3:25
  to
• 3:25
  your
• 3:25
  voice,
• 3:26
  you
• 3:26
  shall
• 3:26
  take
• 3:27
  some
• 3:27
  water
• 3:27
  from
• 3:27
  the
• 3:27
  Nile
• 3:28
  and
• 3:28
  pour
• 3:28
  it
• 3:28
  on
• 3:28
  the
• 3:29
  dry
• 3:29
  ground
• 3:29
  and
• 3:29
  the
• 3:30
  water
• 3:30
  that
• 3:30
  you
• 3:30
  shall
• 3:30
  take
• 3:31
  from
• 3:31
  the
• 3:31
  Nile
• 3:31
  will
• 3:31
  become
• 3:32
  blood
• 3:32
  on
• 3:33
  the
• 3:33
  dry
• 3:33
  ground.
• 3:34
  But
• 3:34
  Moses
• 3:34
  said
• 3:34
  to
• 3:34
  the
• 3:34
  Lord,
• 3:35
  oh
• 3:35
  my
• 3:35
  Lord.
• 3:36
  I
• 3:36
  am
• 3:36
  not
• 3:36
  eloquent
• 3:37
  either
• 3:37
  in
• 3:37
  the
• 3:37
  past
• 3:38
  or
• 3:38
  since
• 3:39
  you
• 3:39
  have
• 3:39
  spoken
• 3:39
  to
• 3:39
  your
• 3:39
  servant.
• 3:40
  but
• 3:40
  I
• 3:40
  am
• 3:41
  slow
• 3:41
  of
• 3:41
  speech
• 3:42
  and
• 3:42
  of
• 3:42
  tongue.
• 3:42
  Then
• 3:43
  the
• 3:43
  Lord
• 3:43
  said
• 3:43
  to
• 3:43
  him,
• 3:44
  who
• 3:44
  is
• 3:44
  made
• 3:44
  man's
• 3:45
  mouth?
• 3:45
  Who
• 3:45
  makes
• 3:46
  him
• 3:46
  mute
• 3:46
  or
• 3:47
  deaf
• 3:47
  or
• 3:47
  seeing
• 3:48
  or
• 3:48
  blind?
• 3:48
  Is
• 3:49
  it
• 3:49
  not?
• 3:49
  I
• 3:49
  the
• 3:49
  Lord.
• 3:50
  Now
• 3:50
  therefore
• 3:51
  go
• 3:51
  and
• 3:52
  I
• 3:52
  will
• 3:52
  be
• 3:52
  with
• 3:52
  your
• 3:52
  mouth
• 3:53
  and
• 3:53
  teach
• 3:53
  you
• 3:54
  what
• 3:54
  you
• 3:54
  shall
• 3:54
  speak.
• 3:55
  But
• 3:55
  he
• 3:55
  said,
• 3:56
  oh
• 3:56
  my
• 3:56
  Lord,
• 3:56
  please
• 3:57
  send
• 3:57
  someone
• 3:58
  else.
• 3:58
  Then
• 3:59
  the
• 3:59
  anger
• 3:59
  of
• 3:59
  the
• 3:59
  Lord
• 4:00
  was
• 4:00
  kindled
• 4:00
  against
• 4:01
  Moses
• 4:01
  and
• 4:01
  he
• 4:01
  said,
• 4:02
  is
• 4:02
  there
• 4:02
  not
• 4:02
  Aaron,
• 4:03
  your
• 4:03
  brother,
• 4:04
  the
• 4:04
  Levite.
• 4:04
  I
• 4:04
  know
• 4:05
  that
• 4:05
  he
• 4:05
  can
• 4:05
  speak
• 4:05
  well.
• 4:06
  Behold,
• 4:06
  he's
• 4:07
  coming
• 4:07
  out
• 4:07
  to
• 4:07
  meet
• 4:07
  you
• 4:08
  and
• 4:08
  when
• 4:08
  he
• 4:08
  sees
• 4:09
  you,
• 4:09
  he
• 4:09
  will
• 4:09
  be
• 4:10
  glad.
• 4:10
  In
• 4:10
  his
• 4:10
  heart,
• 4:11
  you
• 4:11
  shall
• 4:11
  speak
• 4:12
  to
• 4:12
  him
• 4:12
  and
• 4:12
  put
• 4:12
  the
• 4:13
  words
• 4:13
  in
• 4:13
  his
• 4:13
  mouth
• 4:14
  and
• 4:14
  I
• 4:14
  will
• 4:14
  be
• 4:14
  with
• 4:15
  your
• 4:15
  mouth
• 4:15
  and
• 4:15
  with
• 4:16
  his
• 4:16
  mouth,
• 4:16
  and
• 4:16
  will
• 4:16
  teach
• 4:17
  you
• 4:17
  both
• 4:17
  what
• 4:18
  to
• 4:18
  do.
• 4:19
  How
• 4:19
  did
• 4:19
  you
• 4:19
  do?
• 4:20
  Did
• 4:20
  you
• 4:20
  catch
• 4:20
  all
• 4:20
  five?
• 4:21
  God
• 4:21
  was
• 4:22
  truly
• 4:22
  patient
• 4:23
  with
• 4:23
  Moses
• 4:24
  in
• 4:24
  this
• 4:24
  exchange,
• 4:25
  and
• 4:25
  we
• 4:25
  can
• 4:25
  all
• 4:25
  be
• 4:26
  grateful
• 4:26
  for
• 4:26
  that.
• 4:26
  My
• 4:27
  MacArthur
• 4:27
  commentary
• 4:28
  summarizes
• 4:28
  Moses's
• 4:29
  five
• 4:29
  Excuses
• 4:30
  this
• 4:30
  way.
• 4:31
  First,
• 4:31
  Moses
• 4:32
  says,
• 4:32
  I
• 4:33
  am
• 4:33
  a
• 4:33
  nobody.
• 4:34
  God
• 4:34
  says
• 4:34
  I
• 4:35
  will
• 4:35
  be
• 4:35
  with
• 4:35
  you.
• 4:36
  Secondly,
• 4:36
  he
• 4:36
  objects,
• 4:37
  I'm
• 4:37
  not
• 4:37
  a
• 4:37
  theologian,
• 4:38
  and
• 4:39
  God
• 4:39
  says
• 4:39
  I
• 4:40
  am.
• 4:40
  Third.
• 4:41
  Moses
• 4:41
  tells
• 4:41
  the
• 4:42
  Lord,
• 4:42
  I'm
• 4:42
  unconvincing,
• 4:43
  and
• 4:43
  God
• 4:44
  says,
• 4:44
  I
• 4:44
  will
• 4:45
  make
• 4:45
  you
• 4:45
  convincing.
• 4:46
  Fourth,
• 4:47
  I'm
• 4:47
  not
• 4:47
  a
• 4:47
  preacher.
• 4:48
  God
• 4:48
  tells
• 4:48
  him
• 4:49
  I
• 4:49
  will
• 4:49
  be
• 4:49
  with
• 4:49
  your
• 4:49
  mouth
• 4:50
  and
• 4:50
  will
• 4:50
  teach
• 4:51
  you
• 4:51
  what
• 4:51
  you
• 4:51
  shall
• 4:51
  speak.
• 4:52
  And
• 4:52
  fifth
• 4:53
  Moses
• 4:53
  says,
• 4:54
  I'm
• 4:54
  really
• 4:54
  not
• 4:54
  interested,
• 4:55
  and
• 4:55
  God
• 4:55
  tells
• 4:56
  him,
• 4:56
  I'll
• 4:56
  send
• 4:57
  Aaron
• 4:57
  to
• 4:57
  help
• 4:57
  you
• 4:58
  and
• 4:58
  teach
• 4:58
  you
• 4:58
  what
• 4:58
  to
• 4:58
  do.
• 4:59
  I
• 4:59
  would
• 4:59
  argue
• 5:00
  that
• 5:00
  the
• 5:00
  fifth
• 5:00
  objection
• 5:01
  is
• 5:01
  really
• 5:01
  Moses
• 5:02
  speaking
• 5:02
  out
• 5:02
  of
• 5:02
  fear.
• 5:03
  We
• 5:03
  do
• 5:03
  wonder
• 5:04
  if
• 5:04
  perhaps
• 5:04
  Moses
• 5:04
  had
• 5:05
  an
• 5:05
  issue
• 5:05
  with
• 5:05
  his
• 5:05
  speech.
• 5:06
  I've
• 5:06
  heard
• 5:06
  many
• 5:06
  pastors
• 5:07
  insinuate
• 5:08
  this
• 5:08
  through
• 5:08
  the
• 5:08
  years
• 5:09
  as
• 5:09
  he
• 5:09
  does
• 5:09
  make
• 5:09
  an
• 5:10
  objection
• 5:10
  that
• 5:10
  he's
• 5:10
  not
• 5:10
  eloquent.
• 5:11
  But
• 5:11
  as
• 5:12
  I
• 5:12
  was
• 5:12
  reading
• 5:12
  in
• 5:12
  the
• 5:12
  book
• 5:12
  of
• 5:13
  Acts
• 5:13
  earlier
• 5:13
  this
• 5:13
  year,
• 5:14
  I
• 5:14
  came
• 5:14
  across
• 5:15
  Stephen's
• 5:15
  speech
• 5:15
  in
• 5:15
  Acts
• 5:16
  seven.
• 5:16
  We're
• 5:17
  told
• 5:17
  Stephen
• 5:17
  was
• 5:18
  full
• 5:18
  of
• 5:18
  the
• 5:18
  Holy
• 5:18
  Spirit
• 5:19
  and
• 5:19
  this
• 5:20
  is
• 5:20
  what
• 5:20
  he
• 5:20
  says
• 5:21
  about
• 5:21
  Moses.
• 5:22
  And
• 5:22
  Moses
• 5:22
  was
• 5:23
  instructed
• 5:23
  in
• 5:23
  all
• 5:24
  the
• 5:24
  wisdom
• 5:24
  of
• 5:24
  the
• 5:25
  Egyptians,
• 5:25
  and
• 5:26
  he
• 5:26
  was
• 5:26
  mighty
• 5:26
  in
• 5:27
  his
• 5:27
  words
• 5:27
  and
• 5:27
  deeds.
• 5:28
  This
• 5:28
  is
• 5:29
  referring
• 5:29
  to
• 5:29
  Moses
• 5:30
  before
• 5:30
  the
• 5:30
  burning
• 5:30
  bush
• 5:31
  moment.
• 5:31
  Let's
• 5:32
  remind
• 5:32
  ourselves
• 5:32
  that
• 5:32
  the
• 5:33
  Bible
• 5:33
  is
• 5:33
  a
• 5:33
  progressive
• 5:34
  revelation.
• 5:35
  It
• 5:35
  seems
• 5:35
  that
• 5:36
  Stephen's
• 5:36
  speech
• 5:36
  indicates
• 5:37
  that
• 5:37
  Moses
• 5:38
  was
• 5:38
  more
• 5:38
  eloquent
• 5:39
  than
• 5:39
  he
• 5:39
  gave
• 5:39
  himself
• 5:39
  credit
• 5:40
  for,
• 5:40
  but
• 5:40
  certainly
• 5:41
  he
• 5:41
  was
• 5:41
  battling
• 5:42
  insecurity,
• 5:43
  and
• 5:43
  I
• 5:43
  can
• 5:43
  relate
• 5:44
  next.
• 5:45
  We
• 5:45
  must
• 5:46
  stop
• 5:46
  to
• 5:46
  meditate
• 5:47
  on
• 5:47
  three
• 5:47
  14
• 5:48
  when
• 5:48
  God
• 5:48
  tells
• 5:49
  Moses,
• 5:49
  I
• 5:49
  am
• 5:50
  who
• 5:50
  I
• 5:50
  am,
• 5:51
  say
• 5:51
  to
• 5:51
  the
• 5:52
  people
• 5:52
  of
• 5:52
  Israel,
• 5:53
  I
• 5:53
  am
• 5:53
  has
• 5:54
  sent
• 5:54
  me
• 5:54
  to
• 5:54
  you
• 5:55
  in
• 5:55
  the
• 5:55
  original
• 5:56
  Hebrew
• 5:56
  language,
• 5:57
  their
• 5:57
  alphabet
• 5:57
  did
• 5:58
  not
• 5:58
  have
• 5:58
  vowels.
• 5:59
  This
• 5:59
  name
• 6:00
  I
• 6:00
  am
• 6:01
  would've
• 6:01
  been
• 6:01
  represented
• 6:02
  by
• 6:03
  YHWH.
• 6:05
  It's
• 6:05
  also
• 6:05
  known
• 6:06
  as
• 6:06
  the
• 6:06
  Tetragrammaton,
• 6:07
  meaning
• 6:08
  four
• 6:08
  letters.
• 6:09
  And
• 6:09
  as
• 6:09
  the
• 6:09
  command
• 6:09
  is
• 6:10
  given
• 6:10
  in
• 6:10
  Leviticus
• 6:11
  to
• 6:11
  not
• 6:11
  take
• 6:11
  the
• 6:11
  Lord's
• 6:12
  name
• 6:12
  in
• 6:12
  vain,
• 6:12
  the
• 6:13
  people
• 6:13
  became
• 6:13
  fearful
• 6:14
  that
• 6:14
  they
• 6:14
  were
• 6:15
  going
• 6:15
  to
• 6:15
  take
• 6:15
  it
• 6:15
  in
• 6:15
  vain,
• 6:16
  and
• 6:16
  they
• 6:16
  decided
• 6:17
  to
• 6:17
  not
• 6:17
  even
• 6:18
  speak
• 6:18
  it
• 6:18
  out
• 6:18
  loud
• 6:18
  anymore.
• 6:19
  Therefore,
• 6:19
  it's
• 6:20
  difficult
• 6:20
  for
• 6:20
  us
• 6:20
  to
• 6:20
  know
• 6:21
  exactly
• 6:21
  what
• 6:22
  vowel
• 6:22
  sounds
• 6:22
  would've
• 6:23
  filled
• 6:23
  those
• 6:23
  letters.
• 6:24
  it
• 6:24
  became
• 6:25
  replaced
• 6:25
  with
• 6:25
  the
• 6:25
  Greek
• 6:25
  word
• 6:26
  add
• 6:26
  an
• 6:26
  I
• 6:27
  meaning
• 6:27
  master
• 6:28
  or
• 6:28
  Lord.
• 6:28
  And
• 6:28
  over
• 6:29
  time,
• 6:29
  they
• 6:29
  combined
• 6:30
  those
• 6:30
  vowels
• 6:31
  with
• 6:31
  the
• 6:31
  Hebrew
• 6:32
  consonants,
• 6:32
  YHWH,
• 6:34
  and
• 6:35
  this
• 6:35
  created
• 6:35
  the
• 6:35
  word
• 6:36
  Jehovah,
• 6:36
  but
• 6:37
  the
• 6:37
  name
• 6:37
  Jehovah
• 6:37
  was
• 6:37
  possibly
• 6:38
  formed
• 6:39
  as
• 6:39
  late
• 6:39
  as
• 6:39
  the
• 6:39
  16th
• 6:40
  century.
• 6:40
  If
• 6:41
  you've
• 6:41
  ever
• 6:41
  wondered
• 6:41
  why
• 6:42
  certain
• 6:42
  people
• 6:42
  are
• 6:42
  insistent
• 6:43
  that
• 6:43
  God
• 6:43
  be
• 6:44
  called
• 6:44
  Jehovah,
• 6:44
  that
• 6:45
  is
• 6:45
  why.
• 6:45
  But
• 6:46
  what's
• 6:46
  most
• 6:46
  important
• 6:47
  about
• 6:47
  this?
• 6:47
  Title
• 6:48
  I
• 6:48
  am.
• 6:48
  It
• 6:49
  means
• 6:49
  he
• 6:49
  is
• 6:49
  self-sufficient.
• 6:51
  He
• 6:51
  is
• 6:51
  not
• 6:51
  a
• 6:51
  created
• 6:52
  being.
• 6:52
  He
• 6:53
  relies
• 6:54
  upon
• 6:54
  nothing
• 6:54
  to
• 6:55
  be
• 6:55
  sustained.
• 6:55
  He
• 6:56
  always
• 6:56
  was,
• 6:57
  and
• 6:57
  he
• 6:57
  always
• 6:58
  will
• 6:58
  be.
• 6:58
  He
• 6:58
  is
• 6:59
  unlike
• 6:59
  anything
• 7:00
  else
• 7:00
  in
• 7:01
  the
• 7:01
  universe.
• 7:01
  In
• 7:02
  these
• 7:02
  few
• 7:02
  letters,
• 7:03
  God
• 7:03
  communicates
• 7:03
  fully
• 7:04
  that
• 7:04
  he
• 7:04
  is
• 7:04
  eternal.
• 7:05
  Set
• 7:06
  apart
• 7:06
  and
• 7:07
  holy.
• 7:07
  But
• 7:08
  it
• 7:08
  also
• 7:08
  reveals
• 7:09
  he
• 7:09
  has
• 7:09
  the
• 7:09
  power
• 7:09
  to
• 7:10
  bring
• 7:10
  the
• 7:10
  Hebrews
• 7:11
  out
• 7:11
  of
• 7:11
  bondage,
• 7:12
  and
• 7:12
  Moses
• 7:13
  is
• 7:13
  still
• 7:13
  fearful
• 7:14
  about
• 7:14
  what
• 7:14
  God
• 7:14
  is
• 7:14
  calling.
• 7:15
  Him
• 7:15
  to
• 7:15
  do
• 7:16
  in
• 7:16
  the
• 7:16
  process.
• 7:17
  In
• 7:17
  chapter
• 7:17
  four,
• 7:18
  there's
• 7:18
  a
• 7:18
  really
• 7:18
  odd
• 7:19
  moment
• 7:19
  where
• 7:20
  Moses
• 7:20
  is
• 7:20
  on
• 7:20
  his
• 7:20
  way
• 7:21
  back
• 7:21
  to
• 7:21
  Egypt
• 7:22
  and
• 7:22
  it
• 7:22
  says
• 7:22
  The
• 7:23
  Lord
• 7:23
  met
• 7:23
  him
• 7:23
  and
• 7:23
  sought
• 7:24
  to
• 7:24
  put
• 7:24
  him
• 7:24
  to
• 7:24
  death.
• 7:25
  But
• 7:25
  Zipporah,
• 7:26
  his
• 7:26
  wife,
• 7:26
  circumcised
• 7:27
  her
• 7:27
  son
• 7:28
  and
• 7:28
  saved
• 7:28
  Moses'
• 7:29
  life.
• 7:30
  A
• 7:30
  few
• 7:30
  months
• 7:30
  ago,
• 7:30
  I
• 7:30
  had
• 7:31
  the
• 7:31
  opportunity
• 7:31
  to
• 7:31
  sit
• 7:32
  under
• 7:32
  a
• 7:32
  brilliant
• 7:33
  Bible
• 7:33
  professor
• 7:33
  from
• 7:34
  Moody.
• 7:34
  I
• 7:34
  asked
• 7:35
  a
• 7:35
  question
• 7:35
  about
• 7:35
  spiritual
• 7:36
  leadership
• 7:36
  and
• 7:37
  she
• 7:37
  used
• 7:37
  the
• 7:37
  example
• 7:38
  of
• 7:38
  Zipporah
• 7:39
  to
• 7:39
  say
• 7:39
  that
• 7:40
  Zipporah
• 7:40
  took
• 7:40
  spiritual
• 7:41
  authority
• 7:41
  saving
• 7:42
  her
• 7:42
  husband's
• 7:42
  life.
• 7:43
  She
• 7:43
  explained
• 7:43
  that
• 7:43
  submission
• 7:44
  doesn't
• 7:44
  mean
• 7:45
  that
• 7:45
  you
• 7:45
  don't
• 7:45
  have
• 7:45
  agency.
• 7:46
  God
• 7:46
  can
• 7:46
  use
• 7:47
  wives
• 7:47
  to
• 7:47
  convict
• 7:48
  challenge
• 7:49
  and
• 7:49
  even
• 7:49
  sharpen
• 7:49
  their
• 7:50
  husbands.
• 7:50
  While
• 7:51
  we
• 7:51
  don't
• 7:51
  have
• 7:51
  the
• 7:51
  complete
• 7:52
  story
• 7:52
  behind
• 7:52
  this,
• 7:53
  apparently
• 7:53
  Moses
• 7:53
  was
• 7:54
  not
• 7:54
  like
• 7:54
  Abraham
• 7:55
  who,
• 7:55
  when
• 7:55
  he
• 7:56
  was
• 7:56
  given
• 7:56
  the
• 7:56
  command
• 7:56
  to
• 7:57
  circumcised,
• 7:57
  did
• 7:57
  it
• 7:58
  that
• 7:58
  very
• 7:58
  day.
• 7:59
  Moses
• 7:59
  has
• 7:59
  a
• 7:59
  heart
• 8:00
  for
• 8:00
  justice,
• 8:01
  but
• 8:01
  it
• 8:01
  appears
• 8:01
  that
• 8:02
  his
• 8:02
  obedience
• 8:03
  is
• 8:03
  often
• 8:03
  reluctant
• 8:04
  and
• 8:04
  delayed.
• 8:05
  Moses
• 8:05
  and
• 8:06
  Aaron
• 8:06
  do
• 8:06
  go
• 8:06
  to
• 8:06
  Pharaoh
• 8:07
  and
• 8:07
  just
• 8:07
  as
• 8:08
  God
• 8:08
  foretold,
• 8:09
  they
• 8:09
  are
• 8:09
  not
• 8:09
  successful.
• 8:10
  And
• 8:10
  this
• 8:11
  portion
• 8:11
  is
• 8:11
  exactly
• 8:12
  what
• 8:12
  I
• 8:12
  needed
• 8:12
  today.
• 8:13
  I'm
• 8:13
  convicted
• 8:14
  that
• 8:14
  I
• 8:14
  was
• 8:14
  falling
• 8:14
  into
• 8:14
  a
• 8:15
  counterfeit
• 8:15
  line
• 8:15
  of
• 8:15
  thinking
• 8:16
  that
• 8:16
  really
• 8:17
  isn't
• 8:17
  in
• 8:17
  scripture.
• 8:18
  I've
• 8:18
  been
• 8:18
  thinking
• 8:19
  if
• 8:19
  I
• 8:19
  obey
• 8:19
  the
• 8:20
  Lord
• 8:20
  in
• 8:20
  what
• 8:20
  he
• 8:20
  calls
• 8:20
  me
• 8:20
  to,
• 8:21
  then
• 8:21
  he's
• 8:21
  gonna
• 8:21
  be
• 8:22
  like
• 8:22
  this
• 8:22
  holy
• 8:23
  steamroller
• 8:23
  going
• 8:24
  before
• 8:24
  me,
• 8:24
  knocking
• 8:25
  down
• 8:25
  obstacles
• 8:26
  and
• 8:26
  providing
• 8:26
  a
• 8:27
  smooth
• 8:27
  path
• 8:27
  for
• 8:28
  me
• 8:28
  to
• 8:28
  obey
• 8:28
  him.
• 8:28
  But
• 8:29
  as
• 8:29
  I
• 8:29
  look
• 8:29
  at
• 8:29
  the
• 8:29
  past
• 8:30
  month
• 8:30
  of
• 8:30
  me
• 8:30
  trying
• 8:31
  to
• 8:31
  honor
• 8:31
  the
• 8:31
  Lord
• 8:31
  in
• 8:31
  this
• 8:31
  project,
• 8:32
  that's
• 8:32
  certainly
• 8:33
  not
• 8:33
  what's
• 8:33
  happened,
• 8:34
  but
• 8:34
  I
• 8:34
  can
• 8:34
  say
• 8:35
  he's
• 8:35
  been
• 8:35
  with
• 8:35
  me
• 8:36
  and
• 8:36
  he's
• 8:36
  making
• 8:36
  me
• 8:36
  more
• 8:37
  resilient
• 8:37
  in
• 8:38
  the
• 8:38
  obstacles.
• 8:39
  In
• 8:39
  the
• 8:39
  next
• 8:39
  episode,
• 8:40
  we'll
• 8:40
  look
• 8:40
  at
• 8:40
  the
• 8:41
  systematic
• 8:41
  dismantling
• 8:42
  of
• 8:42
  a
• 8:43
  pantheon
• 8:43
  of
• 8:43
  Egyptian
• 8:44
  gods
• 8:44
  that
• 8:44
  the
• 8:45
  one
• 8:45
  true
• 8:45
  God
• 8:46
  is
• 8:46
  going
• 8:46
  to
• 8:46
  defeat.
• 8:46
  We'll
• 8:47
  even
• 8:47
  talk
• 8:47
  about
• 8:47
  how
• 8:48
  much
• 8:48
  archeological
• 8:49
  evidence
• 8:49
  there
• 8:49
  is
• 8:49
  for
• 8:49
  the
• 8:49
  Exodus.
• 8:50
  And
• 8:50
  I
• 8:50
  will
• 8:51
  tell
• 8:51
  you,
• 8:51
  there's
• 8:51
  even
• 8:52
  evidence
• 8:52
  in
• 8:52
  hieroglyphics
• 8:53
  that
• 8:54
  could
• 8:54
  have
• 8:54
  pointed
• 8:54
  to
• 8:54
  this
• 8:55
  moment
• 8:55
  of
• 8:55
  Pharaoh
• 8:55
  saying
• 8:56
  more
• 8:56
  bricks,
• 8:56
  less
• 8:57
  straw.
• 8:58
  You
• 8:58
  know?
• 8:58
  And
• 8:59
  I
• 8:59
  know
• 8:59
  that
• 9:00
  he's
• 9:00
  the
• 9:00
  God
• 9:00
  who
• 9:00
  always
• 9:01
  was
• 9:02
  and
• 9:02
  who
• 9:02
  always
• 9:02
  will
• 9:02
  be.
• 9:03
  How
• 9:03
  can
• 9:03
  we
• 9:03
  not
• 9:04
  choose
• 9:04
  to
• 9:04
  dwell
• 9:04
  with
• 9:04
  him?
• 9:05
  Let's
• 9:05
  pray.
• 9:06
  Heavenly
• 9:06
  Father,
• 9:07
  we
• 9:08
  thank
• 9:08
  you
• 9:08
  that
• 9:08
  when
• 9:08
  we
• 9:09
  look
• 9:09
  to
• 9:09
  your
• 9:09
  word,
• 9:10
  we
• 9:10
  see
• 9:10
  that
• 9:11
  you
• 9:11
  used
• 9:11
  fallen.
• 9:12
  Insecure
• 9:13
  people
• 9:13
  to
• 9:13
  accomplish
• 9:14
  your
• 9:14
  purposes.
• 9:15
  Help
• 9:15
  us
• 9:15
  to
• 9:16
  lay
• 9:16
  all
• 9:16
  of
• 9:16
  our
• 9:16
  vulnerabilities
• 9:17
  and
• 9:18
  weaknesses
• 9:18
  at
• 9:18
  your
• 9:18
  feet
• 9:19
  because
• 9:19
  you
• 9:20
  tell
• 9:20
  us,
• 9:20
  Jesus,
• 9:21
  that
• 9:21
  your
• 9:21
  grace
• 9:21
  is
• 9:22
  sufficient
• 9:22
  for
• 9:22
  us.
• 9:23
  That
• 9:23
  when
• 9:23
  we
• 9:23
  are
• 9:23
  weak,
• 9:24
  we
• 9:24
  can
• 9:24
  be
• 9:24
  strong
• 9:24
  in
• 9:25
  you.
• 9:25
  And
• 9:25
  that
• 9:25
  your
• 9:26
  power
• 9:26
  and
• 9:26
  your
• 9:26
  might
• 9:27
  is
• 9:27
  what
• 9:27
  goes
• 9:27
  with
• 9:28
  us
• 9:28
  to
• 9:28
  accomplish
• 9:29
  your
• 9:29
  purposes
• 9:30
  on
• 9:30
  this
• 9:30
  earth.
• 9:31
  As
• 9:31
  Moses
• 9:31
  and
• 9:31
  Aaron
• 9:32
  join
• 9:32
  each
• 9:32
  other
• 9:32
  to
• 9:32
  go
• 9:32
  before
• 9:33
  Pharaoh,
• 9:34
  I
• 9:34
  pray
• 9:34
  once
• 9:34
  again
• 9:35
  over
• 9:35
  the
• 9:35
  sibling
• 9:35
  relationships
• 9:36
  in
• 9:36
  our
• 9:36
  homes.
• 9:37
  I
• 9:37
  pray
• 9:37
  our
• 9:37
  kids
• 9:38
  would
• 9:38
  be
• 9:38
  unified
• 9:38
  to
• 9:38
  bring
• 9:39
  you
• 9:39
  glory
• 9:40
  and
• 9:40
  that
• 9:40
  this
• 9:40
  would
• 9:40
  be
• 9:40
  their
• 9:40
  greatest
• 9:41
  aim
• 9:41
  and
• 9:41
  charge,
• 9:42
  that
• 9:42
  they
• 9:43
  would
• 9:43
  be
• 9:43
  strengthened
• 9:44
  to
• 9:44
  follow
• 9:44
  after
• 9:44
  you
• 9:45
  together.
• 9:46
  And
• 9:46
  for
• 9:46
  those
• 9:46
  that
• 9:46
  do
• 9:46
  not
• 9:47
  have
• 9:47
  siblings.
• 9:48
  I
• 9:48
  pray
• 9:48
  they
• 9:48
  would
• 9:49
  sense
• 9:49
  your
• 9:49
  presence
• 9:49
  all
• 9:50
  the
• 9:50
  more
• 9:51
  in
• 9:51
  your
• 9:51
  gracious
• 9:52
  but
• 9:52
  sufficient
• 9:53
  name
• 9:53
  we
• 9:53
  pray
• 9:53
  Jesus.
• 9:54
  Amen.
