- - He has total power over someone's rise & fall as well as over weather!

A review from yesterday's work
Exodus 5-11 – Study Packet, Page 2: Pharaoh vs. God
God Introduces Himself to Pharaoh:
- When confronted, Pharaoh refuses to follow God..
- - He says, "Who is the LORD, that I should obey him and let Israel go?"
- - - That's a dangerous question to ask when rebelling against God!
- - - The next 10 chapters… God answer it...
- - Pharaoh accuses Israel of laziness & give them harder work!
- The Israelites cannot keep up…
- - - Foremen: Israelite slaves who are leaders of other slaves
- - Their foremen are beaten
- - Sadly, this turns Israel against Moses/Aaron
God Introduces Himself to Pharaoh:
- Moses talks to God about it
- - It seems Moses expected Pharaoh to easily let the Israelites go, he really wondered why God wasn't working!
- - God promises to free Israel & they “will know that I am the Lord your God” (6:7)
- Then God, through Aaron (he does the talking), & through Moses again confronted Pharaoh…
- - He tells how Egypt will see God’s mighty acts of judgment & “will know that I am the Lord.” (7:5)
- - Aaron’s staff becomes a snake to demonstrate how this actually is a message from God—but then…
- - - Pharaoh’s magicians do this w/their staffs!—but then…
- - - Aaron’s snake eats theirs :-D
- - Pharaoh refuses to listen & so…
- - - God introduces Himself to Pharaoh—
- - - Through the 10 plagues! D-:

- - God has complete power over all of creation
- - God has mercy w/judgment
- - God raises some people to show His power
- Anthropology:
- - We know God better through His mighty acts
- - Hard hearts keep us from following God
- - People cannot compare to God’s power
- - We will be judged for sins we don’t repent from
Exodus 12:1-15:21: The Passover & Exodus: Study Packet, Page 2
- Israel’s First Two Holidays/Feasts: God commands these as annual feasts just before the final plague
- Feast of Unleavened Bread:
- - For 7 days they eat bread w/out leaven/yeast
- - Leaven later came to represented sin
- Passover Feast:
- - Israel ate a perfect lamb, putting its blood on their door frames -- This was eaten in a hurry!
- - God passed through Egypt, killing every firstborn—
- - But He did ‘pass over’ the houses that were ‘covered’ by the blood of the lamb.
