Purpose Statement in
Moses vs. Pharoah
Moses vs. Pharoah
A Confrontation:
Age:
The pharaoh may have been the young Amenhotep II at 22 year old and Moses was 80.
Meekness and pride:
Moses spent 40 years in Egypt being told he was somebody and then another 40 in the desert having to rely on God and being nurtured into somebody useful.
Pharaoh lived in a society that considered him a god.
No doubt he did as well.
Official documents often called Pharaoh the Neter Nefer, or perfect god.
Abilities of their servants [the respective G(g)ods.]
Moses and Aaron did exactly as their God, Yahweh told them.
8:1-4; 5; 7
Note that Amenhotep’s servant magicians simply copied Yahweh’s miracle.
Now there are more frogs!
Good job guys!
8:10-14.
Moses and Aaron are faithful while Pharaoh hardens his heart.

Israel vs. Egypt
Ex. 8:
Ex 8:
Ex. 8:20-
Looking from the outside at these two groups, who has the influence, power, and the upper hand in this relationship?
Egypt for certain!
Before we move on, let’s briefly talk about things we as humans tend to value: How many can we name?
Let’s look back to the Israelites; they were slaves making brick.
How might their Egyptian masters viewed them?
I read an interesting quote regarding the Israelites and the Egyptians: “We value what men do.
God values what men are.”
Let’s look at Hosea.
Hoseas 11:3-4
It’s important to see the confrontation, or the differences between the two groups of people.
What value system do we tend to gravitate toward?
As believers, which system do we choose on a daily basis?
Do we look upon those who are downtrodden with compassion, or in a kind of condescending way?
Yahweh vs. the gods of Egypt
Ex 8:6-
Ex 8:
The third confrontation: what men call gods are not really gods at all.
What are some of the common religions of today?
Who do they worship?
Would it be fair to say that a false god is one that states it can do x, y, or z, but cannot?
Would it also be fair to say that a false god is one in whom/which people put their trust; even if it is done through an implicit (unexpressed, though understood from something else) manner?
The purpose of worshipping Him is that we may bring Him the glory and honor He deserves AND this:
“YOU shall know that I am the Lord your God.”
In the first plague, God attacks their sacred Nile.
The second, frogs, Heka, the god of fertility.
The third, the god of the earth, Seth, was infested with lice.
The gods Isis and Serapis, the gods of fire and water were unable to protect Egypt from hail and locusts.
Ra, the sun god, was unable to overcome the darkness on the land.
With each encounter, the false gods were shown to be wanting.
Believing friend, take a minute tonight to search your heart and affections to see if you’ve placed something above the Most Holy and Mighty God, Yahweh.
Unbelieving friend, cry out to God tonight in repentance.
He’ll grant you the ability to put your faith and trust in Him.
Through His Holy Spirit, He’ll begin to lead you to live a life a faith through His Son Jesus Christ.
