Burning Bush story. So grab your favorite drink or a
cup of coffee, and let's bring Heaven a little closer together.
(00:45):
Today we are going to be focusing on verses fifteen
through twenty in Exodus chapter three. If you want to
grab your Bibles or your phones and follow along. But
as we always do, we start on verse one that
we can catch up and see what you may have
missed if you have not listened to every episode. Verse one. Now,
(01:08):
Moses was tending the flock of jeth throw his father
in law, the priest o Midian, and he led the
flock to the far side of the wilderness and came
to Hareb, the Mountain of God. There, the Angel of
the Lord appeared to him in flames of fire from
within the bush. Moses saw that though the bush was
on fire, it did not burn up. So Moses thought,
(01:28):
I will go over and see this strange sight. Why
the bush does not burn up. When the Lord saw
that he had gone over to look, God called to
him from within the bush Moses Moses, and Moses said
here I am, do not come any closer. God said,
take off your sandals, for the place where you're standing
on holy ground. Then he said, I am the God
(01:48):
of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac,
and the God of Jacob. At this Moses hid his
face because he was afraid to look at God. The
Lord said, I have indeed seen the misery of my
people well in Egypt. I have heard them crying out
because of their slave drivers, and I am concerned about
their suffering. So I have come down to rescue them
from the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them
(02:10):
up out of that land into a good and spacious land,
a land flowing with milk and honey, the home of
the Canaanites, Hittites, Amirites, Parasites, Hippites, Jebizites, and now the
cry of the Israelites has reached me, and I have
seen the way the Egyptians are oppressing them. So now go,
I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring my people,
the Israelites, out of Egypt. But Moses said to God,
(02:33):
who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and
bring the Israelites out of Egypt? And God said, I
will be with you, and this will be the sign
to you that it is I who have sent you.
When you have brought the people out of Egypt, you
will worship God on this mountain. Moses said to God,
Suppose I go to the Israelites and say to them,
the God of your father's has sent me to you,
(02:54):
and they ask me what is his name? Then what
shall I tell them? God said to Moses, I am
who I am. This is what you are to say
to the Israelites. I am has sent me to you. Nour.
In Verse fifteen, it says God also said to Moses,
say to the Israelites, the Lord capital LRD. It means something,
(03:18):
the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the
God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent
me to you. This is my name forever, the name
you shall call me from generation to generation. Go assemble
the elders of Israel and say to them, the Lord, Lord,
(03:39):
all capitalized, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham,
Isaac and Jacob, appeared to me and said, I have
watched over you and have seen what has been done
to you in Egypt, and I have promised to bring
you up out of your misery in Egypt into the
land of the Canaanites, Hittites, Emirates, Perizites, Hebtes, and j besides,
(04:00):
a land flowing with milk and honey. The elders of
Israel will listen to you. Then you and the elders
are to go to the King of Egypt and say
to him, the Lord again, Capital Lord, the God of
the Hebrews, has met with us. Let us take a
three day journey into the wilderness doctor to offer sacrifices
(04:23):
to the Lord, our God. But I know that the
King of Egypt will not let you go unless a
mighty hand compels him. So I will stretch out my
hand and strike the Egyptians with all the wonders that
will perform among them. After that he will let you go.
(04:44):
So a lot to dive into after these verses fifteen
through twenty. So the first thing we must address is
why I kept on explaining why Lord was in all caps.
And the primary reason for the use of Eloh in
all caps in place of God's hebrews name is to
(05:04):
follow the tradition of the Israelites in not pronouncing or
spelling out God's name. So when God's Hebrew name Yahweh
is used in the Old Testament, English translations usually use
Lord in all caps. When Lord is in all caps
or small caps occurs in the Old Testament, it is
(05:28):
a replacement for an occurrence of God's Hebrew name Yahweh.
This is fairly consistent throughout all the different English translations
of the Bible. When Lord lord case appears in the
Old Testament referring to God, it is usually a rendering
of adanae, a name or title of God that emphasizes
(05:52):
his lordship. So Lord all caps means Yahweh and Lord
Lord capital L and then Lord case o r D
means adane are by far the two most important rendering
throughout all the different English Bible translations. So just to
(06:15):
make it clear and to point out something that you
may not have known, that there is a difference when
the Bible says Lord in all caps versus capital L
and then Lord case o R D. But as far
as breaking down these verses further, God tells Moses to
(06:41):
share who he is to the Israelite people. Say to
the Israelites, the Lord, the God of your fathers, the
God of Abraham, and the God of Jacob, has sent
me to you. This is my name forever, the name
you shall call me from generation to generation. God is
making a statement with this message. He's saying, go to
(07:06):
the Israelite people and tell them who has sent you,
the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the
God of Jacob. Because when Moses says that, then the
Israelite people are going to be more inclined to believe
Moses's message and who sent Moses. And then God gives
(07:27):
Moses instructions, go assemble the elders of Israel and say
to them, the Lord, the God of your fathers, the
God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob appeared to me and
said I have watched over you and have seen what
has been done to you in Egypt. So again God
tells Moses to go to a leadership group among the
(07:51):
Israelites and tell them who sent me. It displays God's faithfulness.
It displays how powerful and how great God is. And
then Moses doesn't enter the Egyptians by himself, but he
enters with a group. A group of people is much
(08:12):
stronger than one, It says, the elders of Israel will
listen to you. Then you and the elders are to
go to the King of Egypt and say to him,
the Lord, the God of the Hebrews, has met with us.
A group of people is much more powerful than a
(08:33):
single person. You go to somebody as a group, and
it's much more threatening than if you were to go
by yourself. And that's what God understood. And then God
promises to stretch out his hand, knowing that the King
of Egypt will not release the Israelite people. Because God
(08:55):
is sovereign and he knows this. God will literally stretch
out his hand and strike the Egyptians because God knows
he needs to step in with his power to accomplish
what he needs to accomplish, to cut through the bitterness
(09:16):
and frustration and the hard heart of the Egyptian king.
There's plenty of more stories to discuss and to look
at as the story progresses. So the series is not
over yet because I want to talk about King Pharaoh
(09:37):
and I want to talk about what happens after the
people are released. Thank you for choosing Jesus today, and
I hope the Holy Spirit revealed more and more about
our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
