EXODUS 14:5-9, 21-31 Just as the crossing of the Red Sea completed the deliverance of Israel from Egypt in order that they could begin their journey toward the Promised Land, so also when a person trusts Christ and has complete salvation, he is to progress in his Christian walk. The...

EXODUS 13:17-22 The route God chose for the Israelites to leave Egypt was not by an easily traveled road but was a detour through the wilderness. The other road led through a populated area; it was easier and much more traveled, but in His wisdom, God chose the long road...

HEBREWS 9:11-22 The Israelites were not spared judgment in Egypt because they prayed or because they fasted or because of their own merits but only because they applied the shed blood as God instructed. They were in houses behind the blood that had been applied to the doorposts; thus, their...

EXODUS 12:1-14 That the time of the Exodus was also the time of the birth of Israel as a nation is evident from what God told Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt. This was actually a fulfillment of what God had told Jacob: “Fear not to go down...

EXODUS 11 Moses’ announcement of the final plague is recorded in Exodus 11. Verse 1 is the key to understanding its purpose: “The Lord said unto Moses, Yet will I bring one plague more upon Pharaoh, and upon Egypt; afterwards he will let you go hence; when he shall let...

EXODUS 10:12-29 When the judgment of darkness came on Egypt, Pharaoh called for Moses and told him, “Go, serve the Lord; only let your flocks and your herds be detained. Even your little ones may go with you” (Ex. 10:24, NASB). This was Pharaoh’s fourth and final compromise offer. Pharaoh...

EXODUS 9:22-35 Against the backdrop of this awful judgment is a verse that reveals God’s protection of His own: “Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel were, was there no hail” (Ex. 9:26). Goshen was part of Egypt, but God controlled the circumstances so that the...

EXODUS 8:20-32 As the plagues came on Pharaoh and the Egyptians, he began to weaken a little bit. Pharaoh said to Moses, “Go, sacrifice to your God [here] in the land [of Egypt]. And Moses said, It is not suitable or right to do that; for the animals the Egyptians...

EXODUS 7:1-13 Moses went before Pharaoh, and from this point forward we see unquestioned obedience on his part. Total obedience is really recognition of God’s absolute sovereignty, and this is what Moses finally recognized. The complete obedience of Moses is also seen in Exodus 7:10: “And Moses and Aaron went...

EXODUS 5:10-23 As Moses was rejected by Pharaoh and then by his own people, he was learning what it meant to stand alone with God. Not only did Pharaoh refuse his request, but he essentially called Moses a liar. And the Israelites went around Moses by taking their case directly...
