We're going to observe the Lord's
table tonight. The Lord said, this do in remembrance of me. That shows the significance of
this. In the verse of scripture that
I just read in Romans chapter 9, the Lord speaks of a certain
individual He raised up, named Pharaoh. And he said regarding
this man, even for this same purpose have I raised thee up,
that I might show my power in thee, and that my name might
be declared throughout all the earth. I've entitled this message
Pharaoh. Pharaoh. Pharaoh was the king of Egypt. He kept Israel in bondage. You
know, they were the ones who built the pyramids. That's an
amazing thing to think about. But the pyramids that are still
standing to this day, the children of Israel were used as the slave
labor to put those things together. And he laid heavy burdens on
them. He made them to serve with rigor.
He set taskmasters over them with unreasonable demands, making
bricks without straw. Look in Exodus chapter 2. What
I'm going to attempt to do is give the story of the Exodus.
I've never tried to bring that much, I don't think, in one message. I've referred to it many times,
but I want to give the story of the Exodus and deliverance
from Pharaoh. Exodus chapter 2, verse 23. And it came to pass in the process
of time that the king of Egypt died, and the children of Israel
sighed by reason of the bondage. And they cried, and their cry
came up unto God by reason of the bondage. And God heard their
groaning, and God remembered His covenant with Abraham. and Isaac and with Jacob. And God looked upon the children
of Israel and God had respect unto them. Now, Pharaoh had seen the children
of Israel grow and they had become very populous and he feared that
they would become so large that they would defeat the Egyptians. So he gave a commandment that
every child, male child, be put to death. That was an Israelite. And you know the story of Moses,
how his parents hid him to keep this from happening. They hid
him in an ark, put him in the Nile River and Pharaoh's daughter
found him and she adopted him and she took him into her home.
And he was raised up in Pharaoh's own home. And when he was 40
years old, He came out to look at his brethren, the children
of Israel. He knew he was an Israelite.
He knew he was a Jew or a Hebrew. And he saw someone mistreating
one of the Israelites and killed him. And he hid his body in the
sand and he fled because he was afraid of what Pharaoh was going
to do to him because of that. And he went into the land of
Midian and he was there for 40 years. He was 40 years old when
he fled and he was in the land of Midian for 40 years as a shepherd,
backside of the desert. And after 40 years, God appeared
to him. You know the story of God appearing
to him in the burning bush, identifying himself as I am that I am. And he instructed Moses to go
to Pharaoh. and say, let my people go. Look in chapter five, verse one. And afterward, this is after
the Lord had appeared to him. And afterward, Moses and Aaron
went in and told Pharaoh, thus saith the Lord God of Israel,
let my people go that they may hold a feast unto me in the wilderness. And Pharaoh said, who is the
Lord that I should obey his voice to let Israel go? I know not
the Lord, neither will I let Israel go. Pharaoh represents bondage. Egypt is the world. Pharaoh is
works religion, bondage, keeping God's people in slavery and servitude
and bondage and refusing to let them go. Now, look at Pharaoh's
response to Moses' command. Look in verse 3. And they said,
Aaron and Moses, the God of the Hebrews, had 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. And the king of Egypt said unto
them, Wherefore do ye, Moses and Aaron, let the people from
their works get you into your burdens? How did he respond to
this? Give them more work to do. And Pharaoh said, Behold, the
people of the land now are many, and you make them rest from their
burdens. And Pharaoh commanded the same day the taskmasters
of the people and their officers, saying, You shall no more give
the people straw to make brick as heretofore. Let them go and
gather straw for themselves. And the tale of the bricks which
they did make heretofore, you shall lay upon them. You shall
not diminish aught thereof, for they be idle. Therefore they
cry, saying, Let us go and sacrifice to our God. Let there be more
work be laid upon the men. that they may labor therein,
and let them not regard vain words. Look at what a predicament this
put the children of Israel in after God had made this promise.
Verse 22, and Moses, they were upset with Moses because they
had more work to do. Verse 22 of chapter 5, and Moses
returned unto the Lord and said, Lord, wherefore hast thou so
evil untreated this people? Why is it that thou hast sent
me? I mean, he comes to say, let the people go, and things
get worse. They don't get better, they get worse. And he's upset. Why is this? Why did this take
place? What are you doing? For since I, verse 23, since
I came to Pharaoh to speak in thy name, he hath done evil to
this people, neither hast thou delivered thy people at all.
Then the Lord said unto Moses, Now shalt thou see what I'll
do to Pharaoh. For with a strong hand shall
he let them go, and with a strong hand shall he drive them out
of his land. And God spake unto Moses, and said unto him, I am
the Lord. And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, unto Jacob
by the name of God Almighty, but by my name Jehovah was I
not known to them. And I have also established my
covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land
of their pilgrimage, wherein they were strangers. And I have
also heard the groaning of the children of Israel, whom the
Egyptians keep in bondage. And I have remembered my covenant. Wherefore, say unto the children
of Israel, I am the Lord, and I will bring you out from under
the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will rid you out of their
bondage, and I will redeem you with a stretched-out arm and
with great judgments." Now, this is the first time we read the
word redeem in the Bible. God says, here's what I'm going
to do. I'm going to redeem you. And the story of the Exodus,
the deliverance from Pharaoh and Egyptian bondage, is the
story of redemption. He said, I will redeem you. Verse
7, I'll take you to me for a people, and I'll be to you a God, and
you shall know that I am the Lord your God, which bringeth
you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians. And I will
bring you into the land concerning the which I did swear to give
it to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, and I'll give it to
you for an heritage. I am the Lord. Now you'll remember
when Moses came into Pharaoh's presence, he said in chapter
5 verse 1, and afterward Moses and Aaron went in and told Pharaoh,
Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Let my people go, that they may
hold a feast unto me in the wilderness. And Pharaoh says, Who is the
Lord? I can almost hear the contempt in his voice when he says it.
Who is the Lord? that I should obey him, that
I should let the children of Israel go. Well, he's getting
ready to find out who the Lord is. And the Lord sends ten plagues. You know the story. And he didn't
do this to try to persuade Pharaoh. He wasn't trying to persuade
Pharaoh of anything. As a matter of fact, he's hardening his heart.
He said that. I'm hardening his heart so he
won't let you go. And I'm going to show my power in this man.
But in these ten plagues, he found out who the Lord was that
he should obey him. Now, the first plague was all
the water turned into blood. Can you imagine what a horrible
thing that was? The rivers of the Nile, or the river of the
Nile was turned into blood. All the waters were turned into
blood. When they wanted to drink, there was nothing but blood there.
The fish all died and stank. And this happened for seven days.
That was the first plague. And Pharaoh still would not let
them go. The second plague, frogs covered
the land. Look in chapter eight, verse
one. This is after the Lord had let
the rivers turn back into water, and the second plague. And the
Lord said unto Moses, Go unto Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus
saith the Lord, Let my people go, that they may serve me. If
thou refuse to let them go, behold, I'll smite all thy borders with
frogs. And the river shall bring forth
frogs abundantly, which shall go up and come into thine house,
and into thy bedchamber, and upon thy bed, and into the house
of thy servants, and upon the people of thine ovens, into thine
ovens, and into thy kneading troughs. And the frogs shall
come up both on thee, And upon thy people, and upon all thy
servants, and the Lord spake unto Moses, saying to Aaron,
Stretch forth thine hand with thy rod over the streams, over
the rivers, over the ponds, and cause fogs to come up upon the
land of Egypt. And Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters
of Egypt, and the frogs came up and covered the land of Egypt. And the magicians did so with
their enchantments. They got frogs to come out and brought
up frogs in the land of Egypt. Then Pharaoh called for Moses
and Aaron and said, Entreat the Lord that he may take away the
frogs from me and from my people. And I let the people go, that
they may do sacrifice unto the Lord. Now can you imagine how
miserable that was? I mean, frogs were everywhere in bed with you,
the disgusting, slimy frogs all over the place. And I'm sure
it got to them. Somebody said, well, how did
the magicians do it? I don't know. They did. They
duplicated it, just like they duplicated the blood. But still,
they couldn't get the frogs to leave. And there they were, covering
the land. And his only, get them out of
here, and I'll let you go. So Moses got them out. And the Lord hardened Pharaoh's
heart so that, look in verse 15, but when Pharaoh saw that
there was respite, he hardened his heart and hearkened not unto
them as the Lord said unto them. The Lord hardened his heart,
he wouldn't let him go. So the third plague is the plague
of lice. All the dust was turned to lice. Now can you imagine how miserable
that was? For everybody to be covered with lice. And it's interesting
that the Egyptians could not, the wise men of Egypt could not
duplicate this because this had to do with the production of
life. Dust was actually turned into living creatures. Only God
could do that and they couldn't duplicate that. But look in verse
16, And the Lord said unto Moses, Stretch out thy rod, and smite
the dust of the land, that it may become lice throughout all
the land of Egypt. And they did so. For Aaron stretched
out his hand with his rod, and smote the dust of the earth,
and became lice in man and in beast. All the dust of the land
became lice throughout all the land of Egypt. Now can you imagine
what a horrible thing that was? And the magicians did so with
their enchantments to bring forth life, but they could not. You
see, they couldn't produce life. So there was life upon man and
beast. And then the magician said unto
Pharaoh, This is the finger of God. And Pharaoh's heart was
hardened, and he hearkened not unto them, as the Lord had said. So the fourth plague swarms with
flies. You can read about that in Exodus
chapter 8, verses 20 through 25. Another thing that would be so
grievous, to just be covered with flies all over you, everywhere
you went. The closest I think I've ever
gone to them is when I went to Joe Terrell's to preach. It was
during summer and all the cows and cattle and pigs and flies
covered the land. I thought, I've got to get out
of here. So I'm sure this was a whole lot worse. I felt bad for Joe
being there where he's at, you know, because But what a terrible
thing that would be. And then the fifth plague was
the plague against the livestock. Look in chapter 9. Verse 1, Then
the Lord said unto Moses, Go unto Pharaoh, and tell him, Thus
saith the Lord God of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may
serve me. For if thou refuse to let them go, and wilt hold
them still, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thy cattle,
which is in thy field, and upon the horses, upon the asses, and
the camels, upon the oxen, upon the sheep. And there shall be
a very grievous moraine. And the Lord shall sever between
the cattle of Israel and the cattle of Egypt, and there shall
nothing die of all but the children of Israel. And the Lord appointed
a set time, and saying, Tomorrow the Lord shall do this thing
in the land. And the Lord did that thing on the morrow. And
all the cattle of Egypt died, but of the cattle of the children
of Israel. died not one. And Pharaoh sat and beheld, and
there was not one of the cattle of the Israelites dead. And the
heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not let the people
go. Now the sixth plague was boils
upon man and beast, and ashes from the furnace. And that was
where the Egyptian sacrifices were taking place. This has to
do with the Egyptians' religious sacrifices. The ashes of those
beasts were brought out and spread and boils came upon every man. Look in chapter 9 verse 15. For now I will stretch out my
hand that I may smite thee and thy people with pestilence and
thou shalt be cut off from the earth and in very deed for this
cause have I raised thee up for to show my power in thee and
that my name might be declared throughout all the earth and
yet exaltest thou thyself against my people that thou will not
let them go. Behold tomorrow about this time I'll cause it
to rain a very grievous hail. Here's the seventh. Plague a
grievous hail that came down and when it came down fire came
with it fire and smoke scared everybody to death But you know
the Lord even showed his mercy at this time because he warned
him. He said get out of the field and get in shelter. He told the
Egyptians that. And the ones that didn't believe,
they stayed out in the field, and the hell came down and killed
them all, whoever was out, and whoever believed the word of
the Lord, they got back in and stayed out of the hell. The Lord,
even in His judgments, was showing His mercy toward them in sending
that hell. But this scared him to death. Look in verse 24, chapter 9.
So there was hail and fire mingled with the hail, very grievous,
such as there was none like it in all the land of Egypt, since
it became a nation. And the hail smote throughout
all the land of Egypt, all that was in the field, both man and
beast, and the hail smote every herb of the field, and break
every tree of the field. Only in the land of Goshen, with
the children of Israel, there was no hail." The Lord made a
difference. And Pharaoh sent and called for Moses and Aaron
and said unto them, I've sinned this time. He finally says this,
I've sinned. I'm wrong. The Lord is righteous and I and
my people are wicked. He was scared to death at this
time and treat the Lord for it's enough that there be no more
mighty thunderings in hell and I'll let you go and you shall
stay no longer. He was scared to death when he
saw this. He saw this as the hand of God but it didn't change
his heart. His heart remained hard. God hardened his heart and he
hardened his own heart. Now the next Plague was the plague
of locusts and once again after this when these locusts came
and covered the land and ate all the vegetation. Plagues of
biblical proportion, well this is what took place. I mean think
of locusts covering everything, eating all the vegetation and
Moses hardens his heart again. We're going to get to this in
a minute, but he kept trying to make concessions. He'd say, You can go, but don't
go very far away. You can't go out in the wilderness.
He said, you can go, but leave your children here. And then
he said, you can go, but leave your livestock here, leave your
cattle here. He kept trying to make concessions, but remember,
God doesn't negotiate. Isn't that glorious? God doesn't
negotiate. He's not going to negotiate and
let people try to get him to lower his terms. Not in any way. God doesn't negotiate, but Pharaoh
kept trying to get him to negotiate. And then the ninth plague was
darkness. Darkness that might be felt for
three days. And yet in the camp of the children
of Israel there was light. But this darkness, you couldn't
even see your hand in front of your face. People were afraid
to move. Can you imagine how horrible that would be? That
darkness that might even be felt. Yet light was in the land of
Goshen where the children of Israel were. And then you know
what the last plague was. It was the death of the firstborn.
Look in chapter 11, verse 4. And Moses said, Thus saith the
Lord, About midnight will I go out into the midst of Egypt,
And all the firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die, from
the firstborn of Pharaoh that sits upon the throne, even unto
the firstborn of the maidservant that is behind the mill, and
all the firstborn of the beasts. And there shall be a great cry
throughout all the land of Egypt, such as there was none like it,
nor shall be like it any more. Against any of the children of
Israel shall not a dog move his tongue." There'd not even be
a dog bark at him. "...Against man or beast, that
you may know how that the Lord doth put a difference between
the Egyptians and Israel." Now what this is called is sovereign
distinguishing grace. If I'm saved, if you're saved,
there's one reason. The Lord made the difference. Now we have the gospel so clearly. This is where we get to Passover. God was going to destroy all
the forests born of the land of Egypt, but the children of
Israel were told to slay a lamb without blemish and without spot. And you know what that refers
to. That refers to the sinless son of God who kept God's law
perfectly, who never sinned. And he said, you slay it. Now
the only reason you slay somebody is because it's guilty. This
represented the sins of God's people being transferred to the
lamb. And God had the lamb killed. And he said,
you take the blood of that lamb and strike it upon the lintel
of the door. Look in Exodus chapter 12. Verse 12, he says, For I
will pass through the land of Egypt this night. This is the
10th plague. I will pass through the land of Egypt this night
and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt. both man
and beast, against all the gods of Egypt." And you know, every
one of these ten plagues represented a different Egyptian god. It
was all about the Egyptian religion. And there's actually historical
evidence of every one of these things referring to one of their
gods. Frog gods, lice gods, but they, he said, against all the
gods of the Egyptians, will I execute judgment, I am the Lord, And
verse 13, and the blood shall be to you, for a token upon the
house is where you are. When I see the blood, I will
pass over you. And the plague shall not be upon
you to destroy you when I smite the land of Egypt. Now hear the
gospel. Hear the gospel. There's one
place of safety. One place. Not two, not three,
one. The one place is in the house
where the blood is over the door. The one place of safety for you
and for me is to be in the Lord Jesus Christ. That's the only
place of safety. And what does God say? He says,
when I pass through the land He says, when I see the blood,
I will pass over you. Now, what was God looking for? He didn't say, when I see your
faith, or when I see your repentance, or when I see your intentions,
when I see your good deeds, When I see your sorrow, there's one
thing that God was looking for. What was that? When I see the
blood, not when you see the blood, when
I see the blood, I will pass over you. Beloved, that is the
gospel. I want to be in the house with
the blood over the door. I want to be in the Lord Jesus
Christ. And God says when I see the blood,
the blood of my dear son, I will pass over you. Everybody in the
house with the blood over the door was saved. Everyone, without exception.
And everyone outside of the houses with the blood over the door,
the firstborn was killed. Now that's the gospel. When I
see the blood, I will pass over you. Thank God for that verse
of scripture. Look in verse 29, while you're turning
there, this is an example. I want you to listen to this
real carefully. In 1 Corinthians chapter 15, verse 3, Paul said,
I declare unto you the gospel. It's how that Christ died for
our sins. according to the scriptures. And there is how that Christ
died for our sins according to the scriptures. Simply to say
Christ died for our sins is not to preach the gospel. It's how
that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures,
according to the Passover, according to the great day of atonement.
You can't, you know, one of the reasons I know the gospel I preach
is God's gospel is it lines up with the Old Testament scriptures.
If my gospel doesn't line up with the Old Testament scriptures,
it's not the gospel of God. Now, there it is. When I see
the blood, all God has to see is the blood of His Son. That's
everything. I don't mean all. It's a minimum. Well, that sounded
good, didn't it? I'll put this back on. If God sees me in His Son, Everything's
all right, isn't it? Everything couldn't be better.
That is the gospel. Now look in verse 29 of this
12th chapter. And it came to pass that at midnight
the Lord smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the
firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne, unto the firstborn
of the captive that was in the dungeon, and all the firstborn
of the cattle. And Pharaoh rose up in the night,
he and all his servants, and all the Egyptians. And there
was a great cry in Egypt, For there was not a house where there
was not one dead. And he called for Moses and Aaron by night
and said, Rise up and get you forth from among my people, both
you and the children of Israel, and go and serve the Lord as
you said. Also take your flocks and your herds, as you said,
and be gone, and bless me also. And the Egyptians were urging
upon the people that they might send them out of the land in
haste, for they said, We'd be all dead men. And the people
took their dough before it was leavened, their netting troughs
being bound up, and their clothes upon their shoulders. And the
children of Israel did according to the word of Moses. And they
borrowed of the Egyptians jewels of silver and jewels of gold
and raiment. And the Lord gave the people
favor in the sight of the Egyptians. So they lent them such things
as they required, and they spoiled the Egyptians. They just took
everything they had, and they left. Now, I made mention of
the concessions. Pharaoh tried to make with the
children of Israel. There were three of them. Give
this some thought. First he said to them, you can
sacrifice, but stay here. Don't leave Egypt. Don't leave
the land. It's okay for you to sacrifice,
have a big party, but stay right here. You believe your way, we'll
believe our way, but we can still coexist. You stay right here. Don't make this a salvation issue. We can coexist together and be
truly ecumenical. Stay here. Stay in Egypt. Don't
leave. Don't make a separation. Now,
God will not compromise with the devil, will he? Grace cannot
compromise with works. Law and gospel cannot coexist. Now, if we said, well, okay,
we'll believe our way, you believe your way, we'll end up at the
same place. That's Satan's compromise. Secondly, when he saw that wouldn't
work, he said, okay, here's what we'll do. You can go, but you've
got to leave your children behind. Now, our children are part of
us, aren't they? Can we leave our children behind? And how
many times have you heard religion say, what do you have for the
kids? What do you have for the children? What do you have in
your church for the children? I mean, leave your children behind. No. So he seeks a third concession. The third concession is this. You can go, go on, but the cattle
are staying. That which is necessary for sacrifice
His last attempt was somehow to stop the sacrifice. And Moses
said, not a hoof shall be left behind. Every one Christ died
for must be saved. So let's end with them marching
through the Red Sea. They left. Israel begged to leave,
as a matter of fact, and the Egyptians even gave them their
silver and gold. That's a miracle. So they encamped by the Red Sea.
Look in chapter 14, verse 8. And the Lord hardened the heart
of Pharaoh, king of Egypt. After all of this, his heart
was hardened again. I mean, you'd think he'd know
not to do this, would you? After all he'd experienced. But
the Lord hardened his heart, and he's not going to be stopped.
There's nothing a man or woman will not do if their heart is
hardened. And we see this in Pharaoh. And
the Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh, king of Egypt. And he
pursued after the children of Israel, and the children of Israel
went out with a high hand. But the Egyptians pursued after
them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen
and his army, and they overtook them, camping by the sea. And
there they are, the children of Israel there, camping by the
sea, and all of a sudden, Pharaoh, with all his chariots and horsemen,
come upon them. Look in verse 10. And when Pharaoh
drew nigh, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and behold,
the Egyptians marched after them. And they were sore afraid, and
the children of Israel cried out unto the Lord. And they said
unto Moses, Because there were no graves in Egypt, has thou
taken us away to die in the wilderness? Wherefore has thou dealt thus
with us to carry us forth out of Egypt? Is not this the word
which we did tell thee in Egypt, saying, Let us alone, that we
may serve the Egyptians? For it had been better for us
to serve the Egyptians, that we should die here in the wilderness.
And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and
see the salvation of the Lord. And he will show to you today
For the Egyptians whom you've seen today, you'll see them no
more forever. The Lord shall fight for you,
and you shall hold your peace." Now you remember what happened.
All night long, the Lord brought a wind to come and separate the
waters of Egypt. He parted the waters of the Red
Sea, I mean. They're parted, and Israel marches
through on dry ground. What do you reckon they felt
as they looked at the waters on either side? You got to wonder
if they saw fish and stuff like that. I don't know, but they
knew. They were quite sure that the
only thing that was keeping them from drowning in God's judgment
upon them was the will and the power of God holding up those
waters. There they march through. By faith, they march through.
Hundreds of thousands, but some say two million. I don't know
how long it took. I don't know how wide it was, but what a... God
parted the Red Sea. And he was darkness. He kept
the Egyptians in the dark at that time, so they couldn't pass
through until all of the Israelites got on the other side. And you
remember what happened. Then the Egyptians started going through
the Red Sea. Now, pick up reading in verse
22. And the children of Israel, chapter
14, verse 22, and the children of Israel went into the midst
of the sea upon the dry ground, and the waters were walled unto
them on their right hand and on their left. And the Egyptians
pursued and went in after them into the midst of the sea, and
all of Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, and his horsemen. And
it came to pass that in the morning, watch, the Lord looked upon the
host of the Egyptians through the pillar of the fire and of
the cloud. And he troubled the host of the Egyptians, and he
took off their chariot wheels, that they drive them heavily,
so that the Egyptians said, let us flee from the face of Israel,
for the Lord fighteth for them against the Egyptians. And the
Lord said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over the sea,
that the waters may come again upon the Egyptians, upon their
chariots, and upon their horsemen. And Moses stretched forth his
hand over the sea, and the sea returned to the strength when
the morning appeared. And the Egyptians fled against
it, and the Lord overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the
sea. And the waters returned, and covered the chariots, and
the horsemen, and all the hosts of Pharaoh that came into the
sea after them. There remained not so much as one of them."
Not one. Believer, you know how many of
your sins remain? Not one. Not one. My sin, oh the bliss of this
glorious thought. My sin, not in part, but the
whole. is nailed to the cross and I
bear it no more." Not one sin is left. Christ put them all
away. Now let's go on reading. Verse
29, But the children of Israel walked
upon dry land in the midst of the sea, and the waters were
a wall unto them on their right hand and on their left. Thus
the Lord saved Israel that day." Isn't that what we believe? The Lord saved Israel in a day. At one time, when he said it
is finished, Israel was saved. And Israel saw the Egyptians
dead upon the seashore. What an eerie sight that must
have been. When they looked upon the seashore and saw nothing
but dead Egyptians, not one of their enemies remained. When
Paul said in Romans chapter 6 verse 11, Reckon yourselves to be dead
indeed unto sin. You know why he said reckon yourselves
to be dead indeed to sin? Because you are dead to sin.
Look at him laying there on the shore, dead. Dead. What can the law say to a dead
man? Nothing. Nothing. Reckon yourselves to
be dead indeed to sin. Sin has nothing to say against
you, has nothing to say to you. It's been put away. Reckon yourselves
to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through our Lord
Jesus Christ. Verse 31, And Israel saw that great work
which the Lord did upon the Egyptians. And the people feared the Lord
and believed the Lord and his servant, Moses. Who is the Lord, Pharaoh says,
that I should obey him? God says, even for this same
purpose have I raised thee up, that I might show my power in
thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the
earth. Now in this little patch of earth,
3,300 years later, his name is being declared. Pharaoh, you found out, didn't
you? Let's pray.
