YHWH IS:
1. BRINGING JUSTICE TO THE HEBREWS
2. BRINGING JUDGMENT TO THE EGYPTIANS
3. SHOWING HIS GLORY TO ALL CREATION
3X3 SIGNS - NOW A BREAK BEFORE THE FINAL SIGN
LAST TIME WE FINISHED CHAPTER 10 WE SAW:
EITHER GOD IS SPEAKING TO MOSES IN REAL TIME IN FRONT OF PHARAOH OR TRANSLATED AS “THE LORD HAD SAID”
PLAGUE= PHYSICAL BLOW/ASSAULT
He will utterly drive you out” features an emphatic construction of an already emphatic verb.
The same word depicts God’s driving Adam and Eve from the garden of Eden.
EGYPTIANS WERE OBSESSED WITH JEWELRY.
RELIGIOUS/MAGICAL ARTIFACTS.
GOD IS KEEPING HIS PROMISE!
WHEN MOSES MEETS YHWH AT THE BURNING BUSH HE TELLS MOSES THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HE IS GOING TO DO:
God says, ‘I am going out’ through Egypt.
This verb is used commonly in the exodus account in relation to Israel’s departure from Egypt.
Because Pharaoh will not let God’s people go out of Egypt, God will go out in Egypt!
Night-time was an especially fearful time for the Egyptians.
In the ‘Hymn to the Aton’, the author describes the dread of night because the sun-god has departed to the underworld and is no longer protecting the Egyptians.
For the Hebrews, on the other hand, there is no fear, for ‘He who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep’ (Ps.
121:4).
Yahweh is awake, working, sustaining and protecting his people.
Exodus 11:5 (ESV)
5 and every firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die,
FIRSTBORN: REMEMBER 2 THINGS.
1. PHARAOH IS CONSIDERED A GOD AND HIS FIRSTBORN SON WHO WILL REPLACE HIS IS ALSO THEN A GOD.
2. YHWH CONSIDERS ISRAEL HIS FIRSTBORN SON AND PHARAOH HAS BEEN MURDERING AND ABUSING ISRAEL.
This ‘great cry’ will not be one of weeping or wailing, but rather a loud call for help under distress and duress.
Egypt will call upon its gods for aid, but they will remain silent.
Whereas God will destroy the first-born of both man and beast in Egypt, not even ‘a dog will sharpen its tongue’ against the Hebrews or their animals.
That expression signifies angry growling.4
There will be no such hostility in Goshen.5
DOGS = RATS IN MODERN SENSIBILITIES
POLEMIC: The god of the dead was Osiris, whose name meant “the Mighty One; he who has sovereign power.”
His assistant was Anubis, the god of the underworld.
Anubis supervised the embalming process and guided the dead during their passage to the afterlife.
He came in canine form
HOW CAN YHWH DO THIS?
?
IS NOT WHY WOULD YHWH KILL THE FIRSTBORN BUT REAL ?
IS WHY DOESN'T GOD DESTROY ALL OF EGYPT?
GOD'S HEART IS NOT DESTRUCTION OR DEATH.
GOD'S HEART IS LIFE.
JESUS DIDN'T COME TO CONDEMN BUT TO SAVE AND RESCUE.
GOD WILL GIVE UNREPENTANT PEOPLE WHAT THEY WANT.
HOT ANGER = LITERALLY "WITH A HOT/SCORCHING NOSE"
RIGHTEOUS ANGER
To be in the presence of evil and not be angry is a dreadful spiritual and moral malady.
WALT KAISER JR.
IF YOU'RE NOT OUTRAGED YOU'RE NOT PAYING ATTENTION.
TOO LONG CHRISTIANS HAVE BELIEVED ANGER TO BE A SIN. ANGER IS NOT A SIN. ANGER CAN LEAD TO SIN BUT ANGER IS NOT A SIN.
