Exodus 19 - 26 (Holy Bible)

Chp. 19 19:5 So the children of Israel became God's chosen people. They were agreeing to be a land of priests. Chp. 20 20:18 The chosen people were now afraid of God. 20:19 Moses adds God or I Am is only testing your faith so that you may learn to trust only in him. Chp.21 Discusses rules and orders of the chosen people. The first verse in this chapter discusses indentured servants. The law of Slavery allowed for individuals to be slaves up to a maximum of seven years.  This is similar to our American tradition of writing off bad debt. Vocab Angels - are not to be worshipped. They are God's helpers. Angels never die. There are good and evil angels. The evil angels dwell in Hell.  God's angels are powerful and instructed by him only.  Angels have different work rankings and they are spirits. They are less in rankings than the Holy Spirit and can appear in the form of a human being. God requires organization in systems of h...

Exodus Chp. 6 -11

Aired March 7 - 21, 2011. Chp. 6 6:2    I am the Lord meaning I am higher than your Pharaoh or your hinderences. God (Yahweh, Allah): I AM THAT I AM is also known as Jehovah to the Israelites. Chp. 7 7:7   Moses was 40 yrs old and Aaron age 43 when they spoke to Pharaoh. Chp. 10 Introduction:  In this particular chapter God is speaking events to come through Pharaoh.  This is a very prophetic chapter for those of you who have never read the Holy Bible or Bible. 10:3 Although Pharaoh is speaking, God asks the question, "Why do we refuse to humble" ...and worshipping idols...The majority of Egyptians were not of African descent. 10:13  The land of Egypt is near the lands of Syria, Iraq, Iran, and Sadi Arabia. On the west side is the UK or Europe. 10:28 This is God speaking through Pharaoh. Chp. 11 Introduction: This is the last plague God places on Pharaoh. He warns Moses to get ready. 11:2  The Israelites were...

Chapter 5 (Exodus)

5:13 Pharaoh placed even more work on the Israel people. Using today's words, he included more tasks within their job descriptions. Was it fair for the entire staff to adhere to such demands? God (Allah, Yahweh) had hardened his heart.  God made him to feel no shame or empathy for the Israel workers' woes.  To simplify, "you will make money for me, and not for yourselves, or you can leave."  The slaves were scared. They were use to the given lifestyle.  5:14 This is similar to the African slave trade. First, we sold ourselves to the white man. After the first few sales, the white man realized how valuable we are to endure the harsh weathers.  We endured the spring-the hot summers-autumn-and the cold winters.  Amen, thank you God.  Yes, we endured.  If we made it across the seas African slaves...African slaves descendants, did we make it across the seas? White European slave descendants, did you make it across the seas? 5:17 Pharaoh p...

Exodus Chp. 4 & 5

Aired February 28, 2011. Introduction: God reveals to Moses I AM THAT I AM.  I am Jehovah. I am God. I am Allah.  I am Yahweh. Write a complete thought or sentence using I am ______. Or, recite the I AM meditation poem by Michael Wynn. Since this is Black History Month, I will conduct this week's teaching as an United Methodist Lay Speaker ( I was in 2001-2002). Chp. 4 4:9 God or Allah says "if" they will not believe.  Did you notice that God did not for tell that they would not believe Moses' first two signs? In my opinion, God gives people choices hoping they will choose the right one.  4:10 Moses said I AM slow to speech, and slow to tongue.  Isn't that just like God, the I AM THAT I AM, who is slow to give his response to his human beings. However, when he finally gives direction it is always right on time. 4:11 We discussed the usage of the phrases deaf, dumb, and blind as slang words.  The Quran uses these words quite ...

Exodus 1 - 3 (Holy Bible)

Aired Feb. 21, 2010. Vocabulary: 1. taskmasters - chiefs of slave gangs 2. Pharaoh - Is the ruler of a land; a.k.a. king Chp. 2 Introduction: If you recall, the Hebrews were known as God's (Yahweh, Allah) favored people.  The Egyptians and Hebrews did not associate with one another. It just wasn't their custom to do so even though, it was actually the Hebrew child, Joseph, who saved the Egyptian people.  Moses is Joseph's nephew. 2:1 Moses' parents are from the same immediate family -maybe cousins, or an aunt or uncle to a nephew or niece of said family. 2:10 The name Moses means "draw out." 2:13 Notice the Hebraic language using third person, he said to him that did the wrong... 2:14 He instead of I said... 2:19 Thankfully, someone had been there to water the flock (Today, meaning congregation). Moses married Zipporah who is a daughter of a priest. He was 40 years of age when he married this foreigner or shall we ...

Introduction of Exodus (Holy Bible)

Aired February 21, 2011. Introduction of Exodus Moses wrote the majority of this book as well.  It is important to note that Jacob, now Israel, has 12 sons who will create the 12 tribes of the entire world of faith believers.  These are the names of the 12 sons that create the 12 tribes: 1. Reuben 2. Simeon 3. Levi 4. Judah 5. Issachar 6. Zebulun 7. Benjamin 8. Dan 9. Naphtali 10. Gad 11. Asher 12. Joseph There was only one daughter.  If it were not for Joseph's talent all of Egypt would have died.  After many generations of not telling these events, the people of Egypt had forgotten who saved them over 400 years ago. Or, the new Pharoah could have been a foreigner who won the land by bargains or trades.  It would have be very unusual for Egypt to have had an outsider rule over them. It is challenging to have a new president in our democratic society, but for these people to not remember Joseph I find absolutely amazing.  The new Pharoah felt thre...
