Intro- Last week we introduced the book of Exodus.
Who wrote it?
It is the second book of the Law also known as the…?
Today we are going to look at the first two chapters.
Do you remember from last week who Israel was? (Jacob)
V. 5 tells us that the number of the Israelites was 70 .
V. 7 tells us that they were fruitful, increased greatly, multiplied, grew exceedingly strong
This is part of a fulfilled promise of God to the patriarchs to make them a great nation.
indicates there were likely over a million Israelites by the time of the Exodus.
The key verse in this text is V. 6.
It shows us that much time has passed.
V.8 tells us that not only have all the generation of Joseph died but now the new king did not know who Joseph was.
The Israelites lost favor in the eyes of the Egyptians
V.10-14 - Details that they decided to enslave the Israelites.
We spoke last week about the king sending out a decree to have all the baby boys murdered.
Notice V. 17- the midwives feared God (meaning they respected God) so they did not do what the king had asked.
Is the life of a baby valuable in God’s eyes?
When Pharaoh didn’t get his way with the midwives he broadened the command to others.
So now instead of two midwives, an entire nation was commanded to find Hebrew baby boys and throw them in the river.
-
Moses is born and the family can’t hide him anymore.
So they developed a plan to keep him safe.
Pharoah’s daughter finds the baby, She takes pity on him and decides that she is going to have the baby cared for.
Moses kills the Egyptian task master then flees to Midian.
He gets married and has a son.
-
V.23- tells us that while Moses was in Midian (40 years) the king of Egypt died.
The king who wanted him dead, is now dead.
V.23-25 tells us that God heard the prayers of His people, He knew their suffering, and He was about to act.
Big Picture Points:
You can’t fight against God.
The Egyptians decided to enslave God’s people.
Notice their progression
Chapter 1:11 - They set task masters over them and made them build store cities.
V. 12 said the more they were oppressed the more they multiplied
V.13-14 tells us that they made them work harder.
V.15 they commanded that male children be murdered.
God, through His providence saved Moses and cared for him in a creative way.
Ultimately, every effort to go against God’s people failed in the end.
God hears His people.
too often we go through life thinking that God doesn’t hear us or care for us.
God hears you when you pray.
Moses is a foreshadowing of Jesus .
Both Moses and Jesus were born at times of persecution .
Both loved their people and gave up personal glory for them
Both Moses and Jesus, delivered God’s people
Moses offered to bear the burden of his people’s sin but was denied because he was a sinner
Both Moses and Jesus, delivered God’s people
As we look at Moses, he was a good leader, he did great things.
But he was still incapable of doing what God’s people needed most.
Delivering from sins.
As we study the Life of Moses, we see glimpses of Jesus, as well as a deeper understanding of our need for a savior that is not just a man.
