82 - Les Feldick Bible Study Lesson 3 - Part 2 - Book 7 - Moses, the Deliverer of Israel: Exodus 4-8

https://lesfeldickbiblestudy.com Through the Bible with Les Feldick LESSON 3 * PART 2 * BOOK 7 MOSES, THE DELIVERER OF ISRAEL Exodus 4-8 Turn to Exodus, Chapter 4 once again. Aaron now becomes the spokesman, but Moses is the one through whom God does the speaking. So Moses and Aaron approach the Children of Israel there in Goshen, so let's look at verse 29: Exodus 4:29-31 "And Moses and Aaron went and gathered together all the elders of the children of Israel:" "And Aaron spake all the words which the LORD had spoken unto Moses, and did the signs in the sight of the people (The children of Israel)." Exodus 5:1,2 "And afterward Moses and Aaron went in, and told Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Let my people go go, that they may hold a feast unto me in the wilderness." How many people realize that when Pharaoh was confronted with losing the Israelites, what was he really going to lose? Exodus 5:3 "And they (Moses and Aaron) said, 'The God of the Hebrews hath met with us: let us go, we pray thee, three days' journey into the desert, and sacrifice unto the LORD our God; lest he fall upon us with pestilence, or with the sword.'" We have the Triune God; that's where everything begins - The Trinity. The creation itself rests upon a basic Trinity of time, space, and matter. Here, in Exodus, what do you suppose God has on His mind when He tells Moses and Aaron that He wants Israel to go three days journey into the wilderness? Matthew 12:38-40 Notice that word again, "Sign." Way back in Exodus, God is already giving us a picture of basic premise. Exodus 5:4,5 "And the king of Egypt said unto them, 'Wherefore do ye, Moses and Aaron, let the people from their works? get you unto your burdens.'" Satan! I would have thought the locust would have gone right through the web, but he couldn't. He hit the spider web, and as fast as a stroke of lightning, that spider came down and wrapped the locust up in webbing so tight it could hardly move, and in a second it was completely helpless. My pocket knife set him free. The lost person, even though he doesn't realize it, is totally bound up in Satan's web. And nobody can cut that web but the power of God Himself, and this is what we have to see. II Corinthians 5:14,15 Whichever way, He's always showing us the complete picture of Christ's death, burial, and resurrection as our Gospel: II Corinthians 5:16 The Cross. Now verse 17: We've had that web cut off. We are now as Israel, who was brought out of Egypt, and set apart for God. To the old life in Egypt. Verse 18: "And all things are of God, who hath (now what's that next word?) reconciled (You will remember when we started the study of Exodus, I said Exodus is a Book of Redemption. Reconciliation. That God has) us to himself by Jesus Christ (His work on the Cross, but He didn't stop there when He reconciled us; when He gave salvation, what else did He give us?), the ministry of reconciliation." II Corinthians 5:19,20 "To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation." Why has God left us here? Verse 20: "Now then we are ambassadors for Christ (What's an ambassador? It was an exposé of the horrible life style of our foreign-service people. Now, let's read on) as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God." II Corinthians 5:21 As soon as we become a child of God, by faith in the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, we become citizens of Heaven! Let's turn to I Corinthians Chapter 6. This also relates to bringing Israel out of Egypt. Because as soon as God brings the children of Israel out of Egypt, they are to be a separated people, as we will see in the next lesson. I Corinthians 6: 9-11 "Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? were (past tense) some of you: but ye are washed (Oh, not in water, but by an act of a Sovereign Holy God.), but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God." Here we have Jesus washing the feet of the apostles. The reason I came across this thought, was because Paul said, "We are washed." John 13:6-10 "Then cometh he to Simon Peter: and Peter saith unto him, 'Lord, dost thou was my feet?'" "Jesus answered and said unto him, 'What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter.'" "And Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never was my feet (You can almost see old Peter can't you?), Jesus answered him, 'If I wash thee not (His feet), thou hast no part with me.'" needeth not save to wash his feet,'" #LesFeldick #BibleStudy #Bible
