Lesson 20

So we left off last week with Israel getting delivered from the bondage of Pharaoh. 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:10,240 Remember that was a picture of us being delivered from the bondage of sin and death that we're born into. 00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:16,240 And out of all the plagues that God put upon Pharaoh, none of them would work but one. 00:00:16,240 --> 00:00:22,960 What was the name of the one that worked? 00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:25,080 Passover. 00:00:25,080 --> 00:00:25,800 The Passover. 00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:27,840 And the Passover was based on an innocent animal that died in the place of the first born in the house. 00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:37,600 And once again reinforcing the truth that that's the only way man can be saved from sin and death is through an innocent substitute dying in his place. 00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:47,880 And all of these, whether it's the Passover in Egypt, whether it's the lamb that died in Isaac's place, whether it's the lamb that died in Abel's place, they're all pointing to the Savior to come. 00:00:47,880 --> 00:01:02,080 And Pharaoh and Egypt are all pointing to our need to be delivered from our bondage to sin and death. 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:13,920 All right, now we've got to get them out of Egypt, don't we? 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,480 So this finally broke Pharaoh's back. 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:22,800 And finally, Pharaoh let them go. 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:28,160 He had no other option but to let them go. 00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:31,480 I mean, their nation was being destroyed and he lost his first born. 00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:37,440 Now let's look here if you would in chapter look here in Chapter 12. 00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:52,080 And let's look toward the end of Chapter 12 here. 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:59,920 Verse 41, Exodus 1241, one time turn there. Yes, sir. Exodus 1241 will be an excess for a little while. 00:01:59,920 --> 00:02:16,000 Not quite as long as Genesis, but we will for a little while. 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:22,200 All right, Exodus 1241, and it came to pass at the end of the 430 years, even the self same day, 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:31,320 it came to pass and all the hosts of the Lord went out from the land of Egypt. 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:36,120 How about that? 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:37,320 They finally got to go. 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:39,720 Verse 42, it is a night to be much observed unto the Lord for bringing them out from the land of Egypt. 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:46,240 This is that night of the Lord to be observed of all the children of Israel in their generations. 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:51,840 And the Lord said unto Moses and Aaron, this is the ordinance of the Passover. 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:55,800 There shall no stranger eat thereof. 00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,520 Now, this is fascinating. 00:02:58,520 --> 00:02:59,960 So because the Passover got them out of Egypt, God said they're going to keep a Passover every single year. 00:02:59,960 --> 00:03:10,520 It to remind them where they came from, how they got out and who's responsible for getting them out. 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:18,920 If you forget where you come from, and we're going to learn that again this morning, next door, 00:03:18,920 --> 00:03:23,000 you forget where you come from and how you got to where you are, you're in trouble. 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:27,960 You're bound to fall back into the same mess you were in before. 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:33,040 And so God says, so every year y'all keep the Passover. 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:36,480 In other words, do what you did tonight. 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:38,800 Kill a lamb. 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:40,360 Not to be saved. 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:41,960 You're already saved out of Egypt. 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,280 But to remember, okay, to remember where you came from, it's a memorial, okay. 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:53,720 And so they were to kill a Passover. 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:56,840 They were to eat unleavened bread just like they did that night. 00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:00,720 Everything was going to be based on their deliverance from Egypt. 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:08,560 Now, when we take communion like we did last week, that's our Passover, so to speak, okay. 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:16,720 We don't take the Passover every year like they did. 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,840 We're not Jews. 00:04:19,840 --> 00:04:21,280 But when the Savior came, when Jesus came, he took the Passover meal and turned it into the communion. 00:04:21,280 --> 00:04:32,120 And said, "Take, eat. This is my body." He was showing them, "I am the Passover." 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:39,040 So now, when you eat the bread and you drink the juice, you're not celebrating you coming out of your bondage to Egypt. 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:53,760 You're now celebrating on account of my death for you, your true Passover lamb, you coming out of bondage to sin and death. 00:04:53,760 --> 00:05:01,200 It's a beautiful transition. 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,440 Jesus fulfilled these Old Testament pictures, so now we don't have to do them anymore. 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:12,600 Again, it would be all the same, and I think, I can't remember if I used it in this class or not, 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:17,920 but just to make sure you remember, it's all the same as if you were, you know, riding someone, 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:25,920 and you had someone you were riding that you were falling in love with, and you had letters going back and forth, 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:35,240 and they send you a photo of themselves. 00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:38,000 You cherish the photo. You cherish the image. 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,880 But when the person comes, you finally get to meet them. 00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:45,960 Then the image takes its rightful place, and now the person becomes the one you really love, right? 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:53,880 I mean, the image only pointed you to the person. 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:57,080 It never distracts you from the person. 00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:59,480 If you ever go to worship the image, you don't understand the purpose of the image, right? 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:05,400 The photograph is to acquaint you with the person and prepare you for his or her coming to meet you. 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:12,360 All right? 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:12,880 And so now that we have Christ, or now that we have the Savior, then he is the person we love. 00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:19,400 His death is what we celebrate, and we appreciate the photos, but we do not worship them. 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:29,680 All right? 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:30,400 So let's go ahead and look here now. 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:32,880 God tells them, look here in verse 43, "And the Lord sent them to Moses and Aaron, 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:37,120 this is the ordinance of the Passover, there shall no stranger eat thereof." 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:40,840 Now, if you'll remember, when we took Passover last week, I gave some qualifications. 00:06:40,840 --> 00:06:48,080 And I said, "If you have accepted Christ as your Savior," and I explained what that meant, 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:54,320 "then you can take the communion, and you'll be signifying that you've accepted his body broken for you." 00:06:54,320 --> 00:07:04,640 And I explained all of that in his bloodied shed for you. 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:08,400 "But if you haven't," I explained, "then just let the plate pass by you and don't take of it." 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:14,880 Why? 00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:16,200 No stranger shall eat thereof, right? 00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,760 If you haven't been redeemed from Egypt, you can't celebrate that redemption. 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:24,280 If you haven't been redeemed from your sins, if you haven't trusted Christ as your Savior, 00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:30,040 then you can't celebrate something you've never accepted, something you don't have. 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:36,280 And so, no stranger eats thereof. 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:40,240 And a lot of people will come to church, and they will sit in the pew, 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:50,000 they will go to the services, they will do the same motions, go through the same motions, 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:58,400 as people who trust in Christ. 00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:02,800 But they have never come to that place where they've trusted in Christ. 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:07,040 Who in here was in church a significant amount of time, months, years, whatever, 00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:16,720 before you became a believer in Christ? 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:21,440 That's about half the people in the room, and my hand goes up too. 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:26,720 So, I was a preacher before I became a Christian, for I really understood the gospel. 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:32,160 It was taught false doctrine, and I was trying to do what I thought was right. 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:36,800 And I was just as wrong as I could be. 00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:39,120 But in all of that, I took the communion, I went to the church services, I got baptized, 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:47,440 I did all of the things, and I was a stranger to them. 00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:52,480 And so, this is what he's showing here, there's no redemption for strangers. 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:59,280 A person has to know Christ through accepting him as their Savior. 00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:08,160 Alright, so let's go ahead and look here now. 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:11,040 God tells them to do this ritual every year, verse 48, 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:16,080 "And when a stranger shall soldier with thee, and will keep the pass over the Lord, 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:21,200 let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and keep it. 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:26,640 And he shall be as one that is born in the land, for no uncircumcised person shall eat thereof." 00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:32,320 Verse 49, "One law shall be to him that is home-born, and unto the stranger that soldierneth among you." 00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:39,200 So, he says, "No stranger can eat thereof." 00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:42,240 Then he says, "Well, if a stranger wants to eat, then he has to become one of you." 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:47,040 And when he becomes one of you, he'll be just like the person born in the land. 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:51,920 He says, "There'll be one law for both of you." 00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:54,320 Why did God put this in here? 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:56,640 He was making provision showing us that Gentiles would be able to be treated just like Jews. 00:09:56,640 --> 00:10:03,280 Gentiles would be able to be redeemed. 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:05,600 How can a stranger... 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:07,920 Now, think about it. 00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:09,840 All these Jews are partaking of this Passover celebrating God delivering them from Egypt. 00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:15,760 And then here comes a Gentile in 50 years later, 100 years later, 500 years later, 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:23,760 a Gentile family comes into Israel. 00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:27,200 And when they come into Israel, they want to keep the Passover, too. 00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:33,040 They were never in Egypt. 00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:36,320 Do you see what God's doing here? 00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:38,160 He's showing us this Passover thing means a whole lot more than getting delivered out of a city of Egypt, 00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:46,240 or a country of Egypt, a whole lot more than that. 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:49,120 The Gentiles will be able to celebrate their deliverance, too. 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:55,120 Not from Egypt, but from sin and death, because that's what this is all about. 00:10:55,120 --> 00:11:00,720 And God is showing us here that it is a picture that the whole world can celebrate. 00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:05,440 Why? 00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:06,000 Because God told Abraham, "And thee shall all families of the earth be blessed." 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:12,160 All right, let's go ahead and look here in chapter 13. 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:15,360 "Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Sanctify unto me all the firstborn, 00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:20,000 whosoever openeth the womb among the children of Israel, both of man and of beast, it is mine." 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:27,520 So anything that was born first, whether a cow's first born calf, 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:35,760 a woman's first born son, 00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:41,440 whatever was born first, God says that you're going to sanctify them to me. 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:49,520 They belong to me. 00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:51,680 They belong to me. 00:11:51,680 --> 00:11:52,960 Let's see how that works. 00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:54,240 Verse 3. 00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:55,280 "And Moses said unto the people, Remember this day in which he came out from Egypt, 00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:59,040 out of the house of bondage. 00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:00,800 For by strength of hand the Lord brought you out from this place. 00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:04,800 There shall no leavened bread be eaten." 00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:10,880 "This day came ye out in the month of Bib," that's now the first day of the Jewish calendar, 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:16,160 "and it shall be when the Lord shall bring thee into the land of Canaan, 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:19,440 and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, 00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:23,360 which he swear unto thy fathers to give thee a land flowing with milk and honey, 00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:28,240 that thou shalt keep this service in this month. 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:31,280 Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, 00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:34,400 and the seventh day shall be a feast to the Lord." 00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:37,840 "Unleavened bread shall be eaten seven days, and there shall no leavened bread be seen with thee; 00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:43,920 neither shall there be leavened seen with thee in all thy quarters. 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:48,720 And thou shalt show thy son in that day, saying, This is done, 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:52,320 because of that which the Lord did unto me when I came forth out of Egypt. 00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:58,240 And it shall be for a sign unto thee upon thine hand, and for a memorial between thine eyes, 00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:04,160 that the Lord's law may be in thy mouth, for with a strong hand hath the Lord brought thee out of Egypt. 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:10,080 Thou shalt therefore keep this ordinance in his season from year to year. 00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:15,760 And it shall be when the Lord shall bring thee into the land of the Canaanites, 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:20,640 as he swear unto thee, and to thy fathers, and shall giveth thee, 00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:24,560 that thou shalt set apart unto the Lord all that openeth the matrix, 00:13:24,560 --> 00:13:29,600 and every first thing that cometh of a beast which thou hast, 00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:32,960 the males shall be the lords. 00:13:33,680 --> 00:13:36,000 And every first thing of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb, 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:40,560 and if thou wilt not redeem it, then thou shalt break his neck. 00:13:40,560 --> 00:13:46,480 In all the firstborn of man among the children shalt thou redeem." 00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:52,320 Now, let me explain this to you, what we just got through reading. 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:57,040 First of all, when you do the Passover, there's going to be several days 00:13:57,040 --> 00:14:02,720 where you can't have any leaven in your house. 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:04,560 Who knows what leaven is? What's leaven? 00:14:04,560 --> 00:14:07,120 Yeast, baking soda, whatever makes the dough rise. 00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:13,840 What makes dough rise is fermentation, basically. 00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:20,800 So when that fermentation process starts, yeast, eating, all that, 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:30,240 and then the gas comes as a result and that makes the dough rise. 00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:35,200 And so what's happening is the bread is breaking down. 00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:40,480 It's corrupting. 00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:42,560 And that bread, remember Jesus says, "Take heat, this is my body which is broken for you." 00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:49,760 Since Jesus had no corruption in his body, he was sinless. 00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:54,960 That's why we have unleavened bread to represent him in the Passover 00:14:55,840 --> 00:15:01,840 as well as in the Lord's Supper. 00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:05,840 It's unleavened, unfurmented juice, unfurmented bread. 00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:12,240 It represents the Lord Jesus. 00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:14,160 The next thing is, he talks about this redemption here, 00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:21,840 and now we're going to see what redemption is. 00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,320 A woman has a firstborn child. 00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:27,920 That child now belongs to God. 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:30,720 Got to sacrifice that child to God. 00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:33,840 An animal has a firstborn child. 00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:37,200 The firstborn sacrifice to God. 00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,840 Every firstborn sacrifice to God. 00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:43,200 And the reason is, it's a constant reminder, 00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:46,320 the firstborn male that is, 00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:48,640 it's a constant reminder to all the people of Egypt, of Israel. 00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:53,680 To their sons, and their sons' sons, 00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:56,320 when they say, "Why are we killing this firstborn?" 00:15:56,320 --> 00:16:02,000 And then that gives the opportunity for the father to say, 00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:06,160 "Well, here's what's happening. 00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:08,800 When we were in bondage in Egypt, 00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:11,600 or when our forefathers were in bondage to Egypt, 00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:14,320 this is the only way God got us out, 00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:16,720 was by destroying the firstborn of everyone in the land, 00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:20,800 that did not have the Passover blood on the door." 00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:26,400 And so God then goes on to say, 00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:29,040 "Now if you're your children, 00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:30,960 the firstborn of your children, 00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:34,000 you must redeem the firstborn of your children." 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,720 So how do you redeem them? 00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:39,600 Look back if you would, in verse 13, 00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:48,080 "And every firstling of an ass, 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:49,440 thou shalt redeem with a lamb." 00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:51,760 Notice, "redeem with a lamb, 00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:53,840 and if thou will not redeem it, 00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:55,120 then thou shalt break his neck. 00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:56,480 And all the firstborn of man among thy children, 00:16:56,480 --> 00:17:01,040 thou shalt thou redeem." 00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:02,880 So how are they being redeemed with a lamb? 00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:06,080 How was the firstborn redeemed on Passover night? 00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:11,120 With a lamb. 00:17:11,120 --> 00:17:12,800 A lamb died in the firstborn's place. 00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:16,160 That is redemption. 00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:17,920 We hear about redeem, 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:23,120 redeemed how I love to proclaim, 00:17:23,120 --> 00:17:25,200 and redeemed by what? 00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:26,880 The blood of the lamb. 00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:28,400 This is where this came from. 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:30,640 So we hear about redemption, 00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:31,920 we hear about redeeming, 00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:33,280 and so redemption simply is, 00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:38,240 one thing belongs to God, 00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:43,120 but in order to deliver that life, 00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:49,040 God will accept an innocent substitute in his place. 00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:53,360 That's it. 00:17:53,360 --> 00:17:54,720 The child must die unto the Lord 00:17:54,720 --> 00:18:00,080 because it belongs to God, 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:03,200 and God's going to require that child's life. 00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:06,640 But, he says, you redeemed that child's life with a lamb. 00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:12,800 Why? 00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:14,100 Because every time they do that, 00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:16,880 they're going to say, 00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:18,240 "This is what happened to us on Passover. 00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:22,160 God redeemed all of our firstborn with a lamb 00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:25,360 when all the rest of them died that did not have the redemption." 00:18:25,360 --> 00:18:29,520 And so, when the Bible says in the New Testament, 00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:33,200 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law. 00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:37,440 And we'll get into the law later, 00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:40,400 but while we're looking at the idea of redemption here, 00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:42,640 what that means is this. 00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:44,240 The law requires our death. 00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:47,280 God requires our life because we've all broken his law. 00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:53,200 But, through redemption, 00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:58,640 God allows us to give him an innocent substitute in our place instead. 00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:05,840 We get redeemed from the curse of the law. 00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:08,480 The curse of the law is death. 00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:10,080 You know, a lamb can redeem us from that curse. 00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:14,080 You see how this all points toward the Savior coming. 00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:18,160 Okay? 00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:18,880 And so, what God's doing in the Old Testament 00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:22,000 is giving them these living, visual, graphic description of salvation, 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:30,000 of how we're saved from sin and death. 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:31,760 They live it out. 00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:33,680 They act it out. 00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:34,640 They witness these vivid, horrific pictures 00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:39,200 of an innocent lamb dying, shedding its blood, 00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:42,960 in their place, and them being redeemed. 00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:47,440 And so, it gives them an opportunity to explain to their children 00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:51,600 how they can be redeemed as well. 00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:54,240 Verse 15, "It came to pass when Pharaoh would hardly let us go. 00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:58,880 The Lord slew all the firstborn, the land of Egypt, 00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:02,400 both the firstborn of man and the firstborn of beast. 00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:07,200 Therefore, I sacrifice to the Lord all that openeth the matrix, 00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:11,360 but being males, but all the firstborn of my children I redeem." 00:20:11,360 --> 00:20:15,440 They said, "This is why we do it, because of what the Lord has done for us." 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:21,280 Same thing when we take the communion. 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:25,280 We are doing this because of what the Lord has done for us. 00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:30,080 When I was fixing the bread and the juice back here in my study, 00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:33,520 and those young children came in, 00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:35,440 I thought this is a good opportunity to teach them. 00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:37,680 This is why we're doing this right here. 00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:39,440 This is why we put the bread like this, and this is what this is going to represent. 00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:43,760 All right, now let's go ahead and look now, if you would, Chapter 14. 00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:48,480 "And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:51,280 Speak unto the children of Israel, that they turn and encamp before Paharoth, 00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:57,120 between Migdol and the sea, over against Baal Zephan, 00:20:57,120 --> 00:21:01,120 before it shall ye encamp by the sea." 00:21:01,120 --> 00:21:03,520 So here, the Lord now takes them. 00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:05,680 This is the land flowing with milk and honey. 00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:07,520 This is the country that they're being delivered from, Egypt. 00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:11,760 And now here's the Red Sea, and God sends them over to the seashore, 00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:16,480 to a certain spot, and says, "You're going to camp right here." 00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:20,800 Verse 3, "For Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, 00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:24,640 They are entangled in the land; the wilderness hath shut them in. 00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:29,200 And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, that he shall follow after them, 00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:33,120 and I will be honored upon Pharaoh, and upon all his hosts, 00:21:33,120 --> 00:21:37,040 that the Gymshads may know that I am the Lord." 00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:39,120 And they did so. 00:21:39,120 --> 00:21:39,840 God brought them to a place, intentionally, 00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:44,000 where it seemed impassable for them to cross that Red Sea. 00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:49,040 God brought them to a place where it was absolutely impossible 00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:54,480 for them to cross the Red Sea. 00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:56,080 And in doing so, God knew that Pharaoh would say, 00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:59,840 "They're trapped. 00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:01,680 There's no way they can get out of here. 00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:04,640 What a fool I was for letting them go. 00:22:05,360 --> 00:22:07,360 Let's go get them back. 00:22:07,360 --> 00:22:09,440 Let's go get these slaves back. 00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:11,120 They still belong to us." 00:22:11,120 --> 00:22:12,720 You know, when a person trusts Christ as their Savior, 00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:17,040 the devil does the same thing. 00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:19,120 He tries to make them think he's going to get them back, 00:22:19,120 --> 00:22:22,480 and there's no way they're going to make it to heaven, 00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:24,960 and all these other things. 00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:26,320 And God will lead us into places in our lives where it seems impossible. 00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:30,800 It seems like God brought us here, 00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:33,440 and here we are, we're just going to be destroyed by the enemy. 00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:35,920 But God does that so he can receive honor 00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:39,440 when he delivers us out of those situations, 00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:41,680 and that we can learn to trust in him based on his word, 00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:46,400 rather than have our faith based on what we see around us, okay, 00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:51,040 and the circumstances that we're in. 00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:53,040 Let's go ahead and look now. 00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:54,080 In verse 5, "And it was told the king of Egypt that the people fled, 00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:59,760 and the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants was turned against the people, 00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:04,480 and they said, 'Why have we done this, that we have let Israel go from serving us?'" 00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:08,640 One of those, "Well, we made a big mistake, didn't we?" 00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:12,160 Verse 6. 00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:12,800 Again, we're in Exodus 14.6, 00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:16,880 "And he made ready his chariot and took his people with him, 00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:20,320 and he took six hundred chosen chariots," 00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:22,800 it's like tanks back then, 00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:24,880 "and all the chariots of Egypt and captains over every one of them, 00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:29,920 and the Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, 00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:32,640 and he pursued after the children of Israel, 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:35,520 and the children of Israel went out with an high hand. 00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:38,880 But the Egyptians pursued after them all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh 00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:44,160 and his horsemen and his army, and overtook them in camping by the sea, 00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:49,840 beside Pahathrath before Baal Zephan. 00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:56,160 And when Pharaoh drew nigh, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes 00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:59,360 and behold, the Egyptians marched after them, and they were so afraid, 00:23:59,360 --> 00:24:03,600 and the children of Israel cried out unto the Lord." 00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:07,600 Now, look what's happening. 00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:09,440 Here they are. 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:10,720 Now, God told Moses what to do. 00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:13,520 God told Moses where to put those people, and God told him why he was going to do it. 00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:18,640 Moses did what God said, the people look up, and here comes the armies of Pharaoh. 00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:23,600 That's scary. 00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:25,040 You can't go this way, you have a sea. 00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:27,920 It's not like we are soldiers, we've been slaves, 00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:31,280 it's not like we have weapons to fight with. 00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:34,640 You know what the Bible says about believers? 00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:36,960 The Bible says the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, 00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:39,840 but are mighty through God, the pulling down of strongholds. 00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:44,160 And so this battle, this getting them out of Egypt, 00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:48,320 whose job was that to get them out of Egypt? 00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:50,400 Theirs or God's? 00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:51,360 It was all God's. 00:24:51,360 --> 00:24:53,360 They were there for 430 years. 00:24:53,360 --> 00:24:55,840 They couldn't get themselves out. 00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:57,280 And remember, a multiple of 40 means a perfect trial, 00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:03,280 like 40 days and nights of the rain with Noah. 00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:08,240 We went over this before, multiples of 40 means a perfect trial. 00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:12,800 40 days is always a perfect trial. 00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:17,760 So this is 430 years, and God reckons it is 400 in the prophecy with Abraham. 00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:26,640 This was a perfect trial. 00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:28,240 There was no way those people could get themselves out. 00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:31,520 Only God could do this, and it could only be done with the power of a Passover. 00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:36,560 Okay, the power of redemption could get them out. 00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:40,160 That's the only way. 00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:41,440 The lamb shedding its blood in their place. 00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:43,920 Was that lamb shedding its blood in their place enough to get them out of Egypt? 00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:49,040 That's what we're about to see. 00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:50,400 The answer is yes. 00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:52,080 And so here they are when they see Pharaoh and his army coming, 00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:57,360 they get scared. 00:25:58,320 --> 00:25:59,200 The Bible says they were so afraid. 00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:01,040 Look here if you would in verse 11. 00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:06,160 And they said unto Moses, because there were no graves in Egypt, 00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:09,440 hast thou taken us away to die in the wilderness? 00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:12,560 Wherefore, why hast thou dealt thus with us to carry us forth out of Egypt? 00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:17,440 Is not this the word that we did tell thee in Egypt, saying, 00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:20,720 "Let us alone that we may serve the Egyptians, 00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:23,600 for it had been better for us to serve the Egyptians, 00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:26,320 than that we should die in the wilderness." 00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:28,160 Boy, what a bunch of losers. 00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:30,720 Here God has brought them out, and now what have they done? 00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:34,960 When they see the Egyptians coming, why are they afraid? 00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:38,800 They're afraid because they have their eyes on their enemies, 00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:44,560 and they're comparing their enemies to their own weakness. 00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:47,680 They're stronger than us. 00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:49,680 We can't cross the Red Sea. 00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:52,560 We can't fight and overcome these people. 00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:55,200 There's no way we can escape this bondage that we're in. 00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:58,480 We told you this would happen, Moses. 00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:00,720 We shouldn't ever listen to you. 00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:02,480 We should have stayed in bondage. 00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:04,080 That's unbelief. 00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:06,000 And what happens is, we have to remember as believers in Christ, 00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:15,200 that when we trust in Christ as our Savior, 00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:20,560 we are trusting God to deliver us from the bondage of sin and death. 00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:25,040 Just as they couldn't cross the sea, we can't get out of the grave. 00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:29,120 Just as they couldn't overcome their enemies in Egypt, 00:27:29,120 --> 00:27:34,080 we can't overcome our temptations and sins, can we, on our own? 00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:37,440 We just can't. 00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:39,040 No matter how hard we try, we still find out we're sinners in the end. 00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:43,680 We still find out we have faults that we can't overcome, 00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:48,240 and we have a barrier that separates us from God's promise, and that is death. 00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:54,720 God's promise is eternal life, but there's this barrier 00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:58,080 that we just can't get across, and that's the grave. 00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:02,960 The grave takes every one of us. 00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:05,280 God marches every one of us to the grave, 00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:08,240 just like he marched the children of Israel to the Red Sea. 00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:12,720 And he puts a barrier between us and his promise of everlasting life. 00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:19,280 If we look at the grave the way they looked at the sea, 00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:21,920 we're going to say, "We can't overcome this." 00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:23,760 "Who's going to get me out of that grave?" 00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:26,800 If we look at our sins and our temptations in life 00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:29,680 that we've struggled with all of our life, we're going to say, 00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:32,000 "We can't overcome this. 00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:33,600 We'll never be good enough to get to heaven." 00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:35,840 But if we look at God's promise to redeem us 00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:39,840 through the Lamb that died in our place, 00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:41,920 then we'll know that it's not up to us to overcome that barrier. 00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:48,720 It's not up to us to conquer and defeat our enemies of sin in Satan 00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:55,520 and all those things in this world. 00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:57,520 It's up to God, and God can and will do it 00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:02,000 through the power of the Lamb that died in our place. 00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,640 That's what this is all about. 00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:06,960 So it all boils down to this. 00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:09,920 Are we going to sit in fret over the enemies that we face 00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:16,960 that are stronger than us, or are we going to stand still 00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:21,200 in the promise of God and trust Him to bring us 00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:26,160 across that barrier of the grave, 00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:27,760 and to get us into heaven without sin, 00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:30,880 to bring us into the promised land? 00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:34,480 Who fulfills the promise? 00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:36,400 Us or God? 00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:37,440 God does. 00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:38,000 God does. 00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:39,760 That's what this is all about. 00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:41,200 In every one of us that trusts in Christ as our Savior, 00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:46,080 we'll face moments like this at the Red Sea. 00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:50,480 And we're just going to. 00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:53,520 We're going to face moments where the devil's going to say, 00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:56,320 "You can't get away from me." 00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:58,480 It's going to happen. 00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:00,800 Yeah. 00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:00,960 And that's when we have to do what Moses said. 00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:04,400 Look here now. 00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:05,040 Verse 13, "And Moses said unto the people, 00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:08,000 'Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord.'" 00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:13,440 Who's salvation? 00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:14,400 Our salvation? 00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:15,360 No. 00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:15,760 We can't save ourselves. 00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:16,960 This is salvation of the Lord. 00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:18,800 He said, "Don't be afraid." 00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:19,920 So God put them in a position where He knew that in their flesh 00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:24,160 they would be afraid. 00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:25,120 So He could teach them that no matter how bad things look for you, 00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:29,520 don't be afraid, 00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:31,200 because the salvation of the Lord will come through for you. 00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:34,720 The redemption of the Lamb that died in your place 00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:38,560 will get you out on the other side. 00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:41,440 "Moses said unto the people, 'Fear ye not, stand still, 00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:44,720 and see the salvation of the Lord, which He will show to you today. 00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:49,200 For the Egyptians, whom ye have seen today, 00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:51,520 ye shall see them again no more forever.'" 00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:54,400 The Lord shall fight for you. 00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:57,440 Look at that. 00:30:57,440 --> 00:30:57,920 The Lord. 00:30:57,920 --> 00:30:58,400 The Lord. 00:30:58,400 --> 00:30:58,720 This is all God. 00:30:58,720 --> 00:30:59,680 Remember, Abraham was asleep when God walked through those pieces. 00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:02,960 This is all God's doing. 00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:04,560 He said, "And ye shall hold your peace." 00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:06,560 Trust the Lord to fight him. 00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:09,040 Verse 15, "The Lord said unto Moses, 00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:11,040 'Wherefore Christ thou unto me speak unto the people of Israel, 00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:14,160 that they go forward.'" 00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:15,200 In other words, go ahead. 00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:17,200 Walk across the Red Sea. 00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:18,480 Go across that grave. 00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:20,960 Overcome death. 00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:22,960 Verse 16, "But lift thou up thy rod, 00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:26,000 and stretch out thine hand over the sea, and divide it. 00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:29,520 And the children of Israel shall go on dry ground 00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:32,640 through the midst of the sea." 00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:33,760 This is not a fairy tale. 00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:37,360 Just like Noah in his ark, this is all history. 00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:40,800 God says, "Moses, you take your rod, 00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:43,920 and you lift it up. 00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:44,800 The people need to know that salvation's coming from me." 00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:47,600 Moses was God's representative. 00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:49,280 He represented the coming Savior. 00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:50,880 Remember, he was a picture of the coming Savior. 00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:53,360 And so here's a picture of the coming Savior. 00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:55,200 With all these people here, there's no way they can pass, 00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:57,840 but the coming Savior holds up the rod, 00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:00,080 which is the agency of the promise God made them. 00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:04,400 He holds it up, and God divides that sea into, 00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:09,280 and they walk across that sea on dry ground. 00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:11,440 How many of y'all know, y'all have seen the movie Raiders of the Lost Ark? 00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:18,160 That's most of the people in here. 00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:21,600 I knew the man that that movie was made after. 00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:27,840 His office was next to mine in Arlington. 00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:31,760 And Indiana Jones, I knew Mr. Jones. 00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:36,160 They didn't, he didn't go by Indiana, but 00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:38,080 Vestal Jones, I'm trying to remember his first name. 00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:43,600 But anyway, Mr. Jones' office was right next door to mine. 00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:47,200 And I was in his office. 00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:49,120 I met with him. 00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:49,760 He invited me to go on an archaeological dig with him, 00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:52,080 which I wish I would have gone to. 00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:53,520 I thought that I think that would have been nice. 00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:54,960 But he gave me a video to watch of when he explored the area 00:32:54,960 --> 00:33:01,600 that he believed he found where the Jews crossed coming out of Egypt. 00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:09,360 It was absolutely fascinating. 00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:12,240 He took cameras. 00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:15,360 They went under the ocean there, under the sea there rather. 00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:19,280 And where they believe they crossed, there were actual chariot wheels, 00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:25,280 the metal. 00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:26,560 I saw the pictures of them, the video of them, still there in that same area. 00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:33,600 And absolutely, huh? 00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:36,080 >> Under the sea? 00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:37,360 >> Yes, on the floor. 00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:38,880 They uncovered them, yes. 00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:40,160 Absolutely amazing. 00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:41,120 >> I didn't know Indiana Jones was actually a movie about a real person. 00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:45,840 >> Yeah, yeah. 00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:46,560 I think he's passed away now. 00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:48,560 But yeah, he was in Arlington right next to my office. 00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:51,600 And pretty neat guy. 00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:53,920 Was not a Christian. 00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:54,960 He was not a Christian. 00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:57,520 But he was more like following the Old Testament, you know, 00:33:57,520 --> 00:34:02,160 still under the law and all that stuff. 00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:05,600 He wasn't a Christian. 00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:07,040 But he was real big on Bible history and archaeology. 00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:12,080 And very fascinating. 00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:14,720 Anyway, let's go ahead and look here. 00:34:14,720 --> 00:34:17,600 Verse 27, "And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the sea," 00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:26,320 I'm sorry, verse 23, "And the Egyptians pursued and went in after them." 00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:31,200 So they start crossing the sea. 00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:32,720 The Egyptians decided to go in after them to the midst of the sea. 00:34:32,720 --> 00:34:36,160 Even all Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, see the chariot wheels were in there, 00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:42,320 and his horsemen. 00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:44,080 And it came to pass, and in the morning watch, 00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:46,320 the Lord looked into the host of the Egyptians to the pillar of fire and of the cloud, 00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:50,240 and troubled the host of the Egyptians and took off their chariot wheels, 00:34:50,240 --> 00:34:55,600 that they drave them heavily so that the Egyptians said, 00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:59,840 'Let us flee from the face of Israel, for the Lord fighteth for them against the Egyptians.' 00:34:59,840 --> 00:35:05,040 And the Lord said unto Moses, 'Stretch out thine hand over the sea, 00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:07,840 that the waters may come again upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen.' 00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:12,720 And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to his strength, 00:35:12,720 --> 00:35:17,280 when the morning appeared, and the Egyptians fled against it, 00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:21,520 and the Lord overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea." 00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:24,240 That sea closed in on them like that, drowned those Egyptians, drowned the horses, 00:35:24,240 --> 00:35:30,880 put their chariots stuck there in that mud, 00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:33,600 and their wheels, and they were metal back then, a lot of them. 00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:39,520 They had metal plating, and so the next morning they get up, 00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:45,600 and there's all their enemies dead at the sea. 00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:49,840 And when we look to the tomb where Jesus was buried, 00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:55,600 when Jesus came out of that tomb, you know what he was doing? 00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:58,640 He was bringing us across the Red Sea. 00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:01,200 See how that works? 00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:02,880 This is what this is a picture of. 00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:05,760 He was bringing us across the Red Sea, and leaving all of our enemies there in the grave. 00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:14,400 They can't pursue past that tomb. 00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:18,080 This can't. 00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:19,840 And so that is the incredible power of our Passover Lamb. 00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:28,000 All right, with that, it's almost time to stop. 00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:33,760 In fact, that's probably a good place for us to stop. 00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:37,200 So now, Israel is out of Egypt. 00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:41,440 They cross the Red Sea. 00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:43,680 That brings them now to the Sinai Desert, 00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:46,560 which is close to the mountain where God promised that he would bring Moses back to. 00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:52,880 Remember, he said that you and all of Israel, 00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:55,600 whenever he told Moses to go bring his people out, 00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:58,400 he said, "You'll meet me back here at this mountain." 00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:00,560 And so now, God's going to bring them back to this mountain, just like he promised Moses. 00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:06,080 And when he brings them back to that mountain, 00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:08,560 God is going to give them his law, his Ten Commandments. 00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:15,360 We're going to learn about that, Lord willing, next week. 00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:17,600 And we'll see you then, and hopefully see you guys next door. 00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:21,600
