MARCH 30, 2021 Exodus 7:11 But Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers; so the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner with their enchantments. Throughout the ages there have always been those that the world considers to be “wise men” — those who possess knowledge unknown to most people. In the Bible, these so-called wise […]
MARCH 29, 2021 Exodus 7:8-9 Then the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying, “When Pharaoh speaks to you, saying, ‘Show a miracle for yourselves,’ then you shall say to Aaron, ‘Take your rod and cast it before Pharaoh, and let it become a serpent.’” As evidence that God had sent Moses and Aaron, the same sign that had been demonstrated at the burning […]
MARCH 28, 2021 Exodus 7:5 “And the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord, when I stretch out My hand on Egypt and bring out the children of Israel from among them.” When Moses and Aaron first addressed Pharaoh with the demand to let the people of Israel go free, he had responded with the arrogant question, “Who is LORD […]
MARCH 27, 2021 Exodus 7:4 “But Pharaoh will not heed you, so that I may lay My hand on Egypt and bring My armies and My people, the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great judgments.” As I have previously mentioned, the people of Israel are referred to, on multiple occasions, as being God’s hosts or, better, […]

MARCH 25, 2021 Exodus 6:26-27 These are the same Aaron and Moses to whom the Lord said, “Bring out the children of Israel from the land of Egypt according to their armies.” These are the ones who spoke to Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring out the children of Israel from Egypt. These are the same Moses and Aaron. It is interesting that, more than […]
MARCH 24, 2021 Exodus 6:26-27 These are the same Aaron and Moses to whom the Lord said, “Bring out the children of Israel from the land of Egypt according to their armies.” These are the ones who spoke to Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring out the children of Israel from Egypt. These are the same Moses and Aaron. A good portion of Exodus 6 […]
MARCH 23, 2021 Exodus 6:12 And Moses spoke before the Lord, saying, “The children of Israel have not heeded me. How then shall Pharaoh heed me, for I am of uncircumcised lips?” Under the impression that, because of what happened before, Israel would never listen to him, Moses complained that Pharaoh would certainly not listen to him. No doubt […]
MARCH 22, 2021 Exodus 6:9 So Moses spoke thus to the children of Israel; but they did not heed Moses, because of anguish of spirit and cruel bondage.

MARCH 21, 2021 Exodus 6:8 “And I will bring you into the land which I swore to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; and I will give it to you as a heritage: I am the Lord.” In other translations of this verse, “I swore” is rendered, “I lifted up my hand.” It’s as if the Sovereign of the Universe goes on […]
MARCH 20, 2021 Exodus 6:6-7 Therefore say to the children of Israel: “I am the Lord; I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, I will rescue you from their bondage, and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with great judgments.
