The fear of God will keep me from sinning
The Load speak to Moses and Israelite, Israelite saw the thunder and lighting, mountain in smoke and heard the trumpet.
Israelite afraid and prefer Moses speak to them and they will listen.
Moses said " God has come to test you, so that the fear of God will be with you to keep your from sinning."
Israelite have seen God, Do not make any gods to be alongside me; do not make for yourselves god of silver of gods of gold.
Wherever I cause my name to be honored, I will come to you and bless you.
Why?
Fear God will let us keep away from sinning. If we don't fear god then we might do evil things.
God has not show in any shape to be imagined so we can't do any gods or idol to worship. God is a spirit,is a living God. But God is a light, who gives us love and shinning my way.
Although similar in form to other ancient law-codes of Western Asia. the Jewish code has several distinctive features:
1)The whole code rests on the authority of God, not of a king.
2)There is no division between civil and religious law.
3)There is one law for all, whatever a person's status. Regulations protecting the weak and helpless are particularly striking.
4)A high view of human life is demonstrated by fixed, limited penalties-- one crime, one punishment.
How?
Fear the Load is basic altitude to the God. I am fear God
Where Honor God's name, God will be with me. How wonderful promise. I hope I can do everything can let God's name be honored. Every if it isn't honor God then I won't do it.

3)You shall not misuse the name of the Load your God
4)Remember the Sabbath day by keeping holy. For the Load rested on 7 days when Load made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that in them.
I, the Load your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for sin of the fathers who hate me, but showing love to a thousand generations of those who have love me and keep my commandments.
This 4 commandments concern people's relationship to God, other 6 their relationship to one another. As Jesus summarized them the commandments are all about loving God and loving our 'neighbour'
Why?
This world is created by the Load, so He tell us the commandments we shall keep, let us may live longer and peace in this land. Like father teach his children how to live.
First 3 commandments are about the Load himself. He is the only God in the world and in our heart.
Not other gods before me: we might have many interested hobbies or materials , but all of this can not replace the Load, my God.
We can't say anything in name of the Load, if it is not spoke by the Load. Shall not be a imposter of the God.
The love of God is more than His punishment.
How?
I have God then I have everything, Does I really have not other gods before the Load? It is a giant, such as money, career and family.
How will be if look from the eyes of the Load, things will be changed.
I need more faith and trust on the Load and my savior Jesus.
Love God in all of my mind and my strength, my heart.

God is holy with power and Love
On the very day- they came to the desert of Sinai, in the third month after Israelite left Egypt.
God said to Moses in the mountain:"You yourselves have seen what I did to Egypt, and how I carried you on eagle's wings and brought you to myself. Now if you obey me fully and keep my covenant, then out of all nations you will be my treasured possession. Although the whole earth is mine, you will be for me a kingdom of priest and a holy nation. There are the words you are to speak to the Israelite"
The people all responded together, "we will do everything the Load has said"
The Load said to Moses, "I am going to come to you in a dense cloud, so that the people will hear me speaking with you and will always put their trust in you."
people of Israel have to consecrate them today and tomorrow, and wash their clothes and ready by the third day. Abstain from sexual relations.
Load came to Sinai mountain in the sight of all the people, no one can go up to the mountain or touch the foot of it. Whether man or animal , he shall not be permitted ti love.
On the morning of third day there was thunder and lighting, with cloud over mountain, and a very loud trumpet blast. Everyone in the cap trembled.
The priest do not existed before Sinai.
Why?
The Load let people of Israelite hear God speaking when God talk to Moses, then people of Israel may trust in Moses. God's action has His purpose- let his servant has power among people.
The Load is light, is fire and hide in dense cloud. Demonstrate Hos power. Every human being can't close to the Load for He is holy.
Consecrate myself, then is possible close to the Load. Consecrate: 1) Abstain from sexual relations 2) wash clothes- wear clean clothes.
Obey God fully: Not any exception when obey God, under any situation, no matter happy or sorrow.
Keep God's covenant: Follow God's words, Not our own selfish mind or others pursuit, but the words of God, no change no modify.
Put limits around the mountain is protect people unconsciously come close and will be put to dead.
How?
God loves Israelite and now through Jesus God loves us. God like eagle bring us to Him.
God is my king, for God I am kingdom of priests and a holy nation.

To be a good servant before the Load
Moses's father-in-law came to Moses with Moses's wife Zipporah and 2 sons.
Jethro listened Moses talked about what God has done for Israelite in rescuing them from the hand of the Egyptians. He said " Praise be to the Load, I know that the Load is greater than all other gods, for he did this to those who had treated Israel arrogantly.
Moses's father-in law gave Moses ideas to reduced the heavy burden to judge the dispute among his people.
Moses to be a leader the mission is 1) be the people's representative before God and 2) bring their disputes to him, 3) teach them the decrees and laws and 4)show them the way to live and 5)the duty they are to perform.
Select 1)capable men from the peoples-- 2)men who fare God 3)trustworthy men 4)who hate dishonest gain
Moses listened to his father-in law and did every thing he said.
Jethro a priest of Midian , who was a tribe chief of Midian. He has a few names, Reuel should be the real name,
Why?
Moses is representative before God but he need share his burden to other capable men, to be a efficient leader.
The burden of leadership is heavy, and Jethro's practical suggestion for reorganization and delegation is a sound one. Although Jethro, a non-Israelite, is reckoned a godly man. He is welcomed and his advice taken.
How?
To be a good leader before the Load should follow above instructions. Select some men to share burden of leadership to judge disputes needs above requirements.
Am I a good leader? I need to learn more from the Load

Write down important thing to be remembered
Amalekites was first among the nations(Number 24:20)
The Amalekites defeated by Israel.
Amalekites came and attacked the Israeltie at Rephidim.
Moses said to Joshua,"Choose some of our men and go out to fight the Amalekites. Tomorrow I will stand on top of the hil with the staff of God in my hand.
As long as Moses help up his hands, the Israelite were winning, but when even ever he lowered his hands, the Amalekites were winning. Aaron and Hur help his hand up- one on one side, one on the other, so that his hands remained steady till sunset. So Joshua overcame the Amalekite army with this sword.
The Load said to Moses"Write this on the scroll as something to be remembered and make sure that Joshua hears it, because I will completely blot out the memory of Amalek from under heaven."
Why?
It wasn't Israel attacked Amalekite, but Amalekite attacked Israelites, so God will completely bolt out the memory of Amalek from the heaven.
Choose some of our men- are Israelite and following the command of God
Moses hand up his hands, means God help them to fight. So fight winning is depend on the Load, not depends on the men or horses.
Moses standed on the hill, then he may pray for the whole situation of the fighting.
It is said in Jews that Hur is husband of Miriam, he was a leader in Israelite.
We need to write down important thing for memorized, or we will forget the important thing and God's command.
How?
Fight winning depends on the Load, He control everything, when we rely on Him, following His decrees and laws, He is with us.
We do not attack others or build enemy, but we need to defeat enemy for us.

There is more important thing than food and water
Israelites quarreled and tested the Loads for they were thirsty for water ,camped at Rephidim.
Israelite they grumbled against Moses, and almost ready to stone him.
Israelite tested the Load saying, " Is the Load among us or not?"
God talk to Moses take in his hand with the staff which he strike the Nile to strike the rock in sight of the elders of Israel. The water came out of the rock. Moses stroke rock to get water twice on the way travel in desert.
Why?
Each time when Israelite hungry and thirsty they grumbled and quarreled with Moses.
Israelites quarreled with Moses is quarreled with the Load.
The Load using Manna tested Isrealites, they did not passed, but they tested the Load for water.
How?
Human's heart is rebellion to the Load. We always wonder Is God among us or not?
I believe even God did not do anything He is always with me. Holy Spirit is always is dwelling in me.
Food & water are not the most important thing, most important thing is obey the command & laws of the God, eating the spiritual food let my heart not hungry.

manna the food supplied from the Load
Time:on the fifteenth day of the second month after they had come out of Egypt
Where:from Elim and came to the Desert of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai
what:In the desert the whole community grumbled against Moses and Aaron
why:Then the LORD said to Moses, “I will rain down bread from heaven for you. The people are to go out each day and gather enough for that day. In this way I will test them and see whether they will follow my instructions
Repeat: Who are we? You are not grumbling against us, but against the LORD
God said to Moses: ‘At twilight you will eat meat, and in the morning you will be filled with bread. Then you will know that I am the LORD your God.’--That evening quail came and covered the camp, and in the morning there was a layer of dew around the camp. 14 When the dew was gone, thin flakes like frost on the ground appeared on the desert floor.
However, some of them paid no attention to Moses; they kept part of it until morning, but it was full of maggots and began to smell. So Moses was angry with them.
Then the LORD said to Moses, “How long will you refuse to keep my commands and my instructions? 29 Bear in mind that the LORD has given you the Sabbath; that is why on the sixth day he gives you bread for two days. Everyone is to stay where they are on the seventh day; no one is to go out.”
What it is? The people of Israel called the bread manna. The Israelites ate manna forty years, until they came to a land that was settled; they ate manna until they reached the border of Canaan.
A bowl holding about 2 liters. One Omer is about 2~3 liters, needed for one person.
Why?
God knows there are not food for Irsaelites, they may ask to the Load, but should not grumble to the Load to express their needed. God has prepared the food for them, let Israelite lives for the Load. Daily dependence on him. Is the Load who gives us all we need.
God want the Israelites keep his command and God's instructions.
Isrealites grumbled to the Load many times in desart on the way to promised land. Until now God was treated them with full patient.
How?
How wonderful you don't work may eat food supplied from the Load, Don't worry tomorrow where is the food. Now there is not manna, but I am eat the holy spirit food from the scripture, give me the life's food.
Either daily food and spirit food are given by the Load, he knows what I need, I don't worry about it. Hs is my Load, I should keep the commands and instructions of the Load, then I will be joyful.

Load led the way from Marah to Elim
Israelites walked 3 days in the desert without finding water. When they came to Marah, they could not drink the water because it is bitter. Israelites grumbled against Moses.
Moses cried out to the Load, the Load showed him a a piece of wood. threw it into the water and the water became sweet.
There the Load made decree and a law to them. If you 1)Listen and do what is right in his eyes, 2)pay attention to his commands and keep all his decrees. God will not bring on them any of the disease God brought on Egyptians. For I am the Load, who heal you.
They came to Elim, there are 12 spring and 70 palm trees.
Encounter any misery, cry out to the Load, God shows us the way, do it, then everything is changed to good.
Why?
Life's way like Esraelites walked on the desert, some time have not water, even has water but is is bitter, sometime walk to beautiful place like Elim. When we is in dry land, people always like to grumble, for they forgot God mighty hand can do anything for them, God loves them.
God can transform the bitter water to sweet, when he show us the way.
Load is the creator who heal us. The necessary actions is listen to his words and do what is right in his eyes, not in our eyes.
God like to teach Isrealites to learn rely on the Load and have faith on Him.
How?
Have faith on the Load and do what is right in his eyes, follow decrees and laws of the Load, then we may living longer in the place God gives us.
Misery is a trail and training lesion for us to trust God, know what he will do for us.
People usually forget the Load when living better or have trouble. No grumble to the Load.

Praise the Load, yor are worthy
The song of Moses and Miriam,
I will sing to the Load, for he is highly exaltecd. The horse and its rider he has hurled into the sea. Moses Started praised and Miriam responded sang.
The Load is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation. He is my God, and I will praise him, my father's God, and I will exalt him. The Load is a warrior, the Load is his name.
Who is like you- majestic in holiness, awesome in glory, working wonders?
In your unfailing love you will lead the people you have redeemed. In your strength you will guide them to your holy dwelling.
Philistia, Edom, Moab, Canaan, by the power of your arm they will be as still as a stone- until your people pass by.
This song is a fine example of ancient Semitic poetry
Miriam means God loves, She is the first woman prophet.
Why?
Moses knows those tribes in there way to promised land.
If ever a victory deserves to be recorded for posterity this one does.
The Load is my song, Song is praise the Load, so praise to God is worthy.
How?
My God is my savior, my strength, He will lead me to the holly dwelling by his unfailing love and his strength. You ar worthy

I am following and trust Mighty God
The Load said to Moses "Why are you crying out to me?" Tell.. and raise your staff and strength your hand over the sea.
Angel of God, who had been traveling in front of Israel's army, withdraw and went behind them. The pillar of fire and cloud moved form in front and stood behind them. So neither went near the other all night.
The entire army of Pharaoh that had followed the Israelites into the sea. Not one of them survived.
When Israelites saw the great power the Load displayed against the Egyptian, the people feared the Load and put their trust in him and in Moses his servant.
Why?
God gave his servant Moses power can do many great thing, Do not crying our, Tell and raise your hand o pray, The Load did great things.
God separated, not one can get near others God get together no one may separate- as our marriage.
After Egyptian experience of God's great power, all Israelite fear God and Moses, and put their trust to God. But Israelites still forget what God had done on them when they have trouble.
Israelites went through Red Sea should be Lake Menzaleh, Baal Zhphon is located in east 13 Km of Rameses.
God confused Egyptian army by rain thunder, earthquake reference from Psalm 77:16-20
How?
I can't forget all great things have done on me from The Load, He is my fortress, my savior, my strength. Trust in Him no matter what I encounter.
I am a servant of God, Moses is the best one. I have my own mission from the Load. Do what I should do, not do what I see fit but God see fit.
Sometimes I am weak, Dear Load forgive me and let me have strength to face or avoid evil.
Tuesday, May 17, 2011
Stand firm and be still
Israelites were marching out of Egypt boldly.
Load said to Moses, what Pharaoh will do and God will gain glory for himself through Pharaoh and all his army.
Pharaot and his officials changed their minds about them and prepared best chariots and horsemen and troops pursued the Israelites.
As Pharaoh approached, the Israelites looked up, they were terrified and cried out to the Lord, they complained to Moses, It would been better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in the desert.
Moses answers the people. Don't be afraid. Stand firm you will see the deliverance the Load will bring you today. The Load will fight for you, you need only to be still.
Israel learns the truth of Moses's work: The Load will fight for you; there is no need for you to do anything/
Why?
The Load told Moses everything he plan to do.
As terrify come people panic, crying out to the Load even accusing to the closest leader.
Enemy may change their mind to attack the people of God, even though it is control by the Load.
Stand firm and be still is the people of Load need to do after we pray to the Load.
How?
My God will flight for me, there is no need for me to do anything. I need only to be still and stand firm.
All of the disaster or terrify are control under the Load, He loves me. Thanks Load, You are might God.
Do not panic or afraid!

Honor God in our life
Consecrate the first born and first offspring to the Load, whether man or animal.
Passover 7 days eat bread made without yeast and on the 7th day hold a festival to the Load. Commemorate this day you came out of Egypt, out of slavery, because Load brought you out of it with mighty hand.
God did not lead them on the road through the Philistine country, when Esraelites face war, they may change their minds and return to Egypt. So God led them around by the desert toward the Red Sea...
Moses took the bones of Joseph with him because Joseph had made the sons of Israel swear an oath. He believed God will surely bring Israelite leave this place.
After leaving Succoth, Load went ahead of them in pillar of cloud to guide them on their way and by night in the pillar of fire.
Why?
God knew Israelites will go back to Egypt when they face war, so go around to Red Sea, show the mighty hand of God and let Esraelites can't go back to Egypt.
Red Sea actually is Sea of Reeds.
Esraelites went up out of Egypt armed for battle but they do not have the capability to face war.
All of the activities of Passover is to memory what God had done on Israel, First born are consecrate to God, first time in the morning consecrate to God. Everything we got is from the Load, so consecrate first part to the Load, to honor our God.
Moses did not forget there oath to Joseph, so he took the bones of Joseph with him. Moses is a believable man.
Fire and cloud are the symbol of the God.
How?
Gos plan is complete and good to his people.
Every ceremonies we do are honor God. The Load be the first priority in my life, I will be the first priority before the Load.
1)First born belongs to God 2) God is complete 3)Moses is believable man 4) Honor our Load 5)Symbols of the Load

He is the Load
At midnight the Load struck down all the first born of Egyptian from Pharaoh to the prisoner, there was loud wailing in Egypt, for there was not a house without someone dead.
The Egyptian urged the people to hurry and leave the country.
The Israelites did as Moses instructed and asked Egyptians for articles of silver and gold and for clothing. Load made the Egyptians favorable disposed toward the people, and gave them what they asked for.
The Israelite people lived in Egypt was 340 years. All the Load's division left Egypt
On this night all the Israelites are to keep vigil to honor the Load for generations to come.
No foreigner is to eat meat of Passover. As alien who wants to celebrate the Load's Passover must have all the males in hos household circumcised. Do not break any of the bones, The whole community of Israel must celebrate it.
Why?
The Load did what he instructed all the Load's divisions left Egypt. God has his plan and procedure.
God's work is suddenly and efficiently, precised.
Because it was left Egypt at night so people ate meat of Passover need eat with cloak tucked into your belt, sandal on their feet.
Egyptian suffer such big trouble so them hope Israelites leave hurry, and The Load let them favorable disposed toward the people. God may change people's favorable mind.
Just as God foretold(Gen 15:13-14) after 4 centuries in a foreign land Israel is free.
As Israel's freedom has been purchased by nation's firstborn of Egypt, the nation's firstborn belong in a special sense to God and are to be bought back.
Lamb of Passover means Jesus salvation.
How?
God has plan, He knows everything and He is the mighty God.
The rule of Passover express the salvation of Jesus in the future plan from The Load
Dear Load leading my way, May your mind be done in my nation and in my home. Leading my way on your way, let me comfort with your leading with joy.

Then you will know that the Load make a distinguish between Egypt and Israel.
Why?
Plague of locusts is never had, plague on the first born is worse than there has, it hurt the people in everyone's home, hurt there family and livestock. There will be big sorrow in Egypt.
God let people know who he is.
All of these plagues, God warning Pharaoh first, but he did not listen it. After it was happened, then he asked to Moses for mercy of God.
First born means the son of God- Jesus Christ die for us
God always warning sin of people, then hand in with a little plague to them, if they do not return, the plague will more serious. So God is Love.
How?
Believe and trust the Load, he never missed the plan.
Remember the Love of Jesus and God

Pray to god asked for mercy for us
Moses stretched out his staff over Egypt and the Load made an east wind blow across the land all day and all night, by the morning the wind brought the locusts.
Plague of Locusts- Nothing green remained on tree or plant in all the land of Egypt.
Pharaoh said to Moses: I have sinned against the Load your God and again you.
strong west wind carried locusts into the red sea.
Moses stretch out his staff toward the sky so the darkness covered all Egypt for 3 days. 9th Plague. This darkness can be felt.
Pharaoh agree your women, children may go with you, only leave your flocks and herds behind.
Pharaoh said to Moses," Go out of my sight, make sure you don't appear before me again! The day you see my face will die"
Moses replied,"Just as you said, I will never appear before you again"
Never before had there been such a plague of ---, nor will there ever be again.
Why?
God's work not made by man's hand. So it is great thing beyond imagination of human being.
Plague of Locusts let Egypt really ruined, left nothing in the field and livestock were died.
After 9 plagues, Pharaoh angry to Moses, don;t want to see Moses again, for he always bring diaster to him.
The darkness probably a khamsin duststrom, blocked the sun. so it is can be felt.
Those plagues occurred a period of six months to a year.
In each case God chose to use natural disorders to confound Pharaoh and the gods of Egypt.
The flog to bring disease, 'Nile-god' to bring ruin, not prosperity.
How?
When heart of one's hardened, not any miraculous sign may change his mind, only way is pray to the Load. For the Load may change people's mind. God decides everything His is the Load.
When people can't face the failure might turn to angry to the people who confronted.
I only can do is ask great God have mercy on us and the people living in darkness.

Humble yourself before God with all of you
The 8th the plague of Locusts- nor your fathers have ever seen from the day they settled in this land till now.
The Load hardened Pharaoh's heart and the heart of his officials so that I may perform these miraculous signs of mine among them, let your children and grandchildren know "I am the Load".
Moses said to Pharaoh How long will you refuse to humble yourself before me?
Pharaoh's officials said to Pharaoh, "How long will this man be a snare to us?" Let them go, Do you not yet realize that Egypt is ruined?
Pharaoh allowed Moses go to worship Load but have only with the man go, Clearly you are bent on evil.
Pharaoh did not allow all of Israelite go out of Egypt.
Why?
Those miraculous signs let people know "I am the Load", not others is Load.
The officials of Pharaoh are almost hope Israelite go to worship their God, for Egypt are ruined after a few plagues. Pharaoh was still insisted some of the Israelites may go with Moses. These are not what the Load wanted.
How long will you- The heart of people. God is waiting for those people humble yourself before the Load.
How?
God's mind is totally obey his words, totally humble yourself before Him. Our faith before God is not any deal.
Love your God with all your heart, all your mind, all your strength. God wants all of my.
How long your heart will humble before the Load, God have mercy to waiting for us, for many people still is living in the dark, just as waited for me before. Get up preach the gospel.

The word of GOD has great power
Moses stretch out his hand (staff) toward the sky, the plague of Hail. Number 7
Plague of Boil- -Take handfuls of soot from a furnace and toss it into the air.
The Plague of Gnats- stretch out staff and strike the dust of the ground
The plague of Blood and Frogs- stretch out staff over the water
The plague of Files, Livestock- The Load said
7th plague- Hail. It was the worst storm in all the land of Egypt since it had become a nation.
Thsi time, Pharaoh confessed The Load is right, and I and my people are in the wrong. Pharaoh permitted "Moses and his people go; you don't have to stay any longer"
Barley and flax were destroyed, wheat and spelt were not destroy, because they ripen later.
Moses answered to Pharaoh, I know you and your officials still do not fear the Load GOD. When Moses spread out his hands toward the Load, the thunder, hail and rain no longer poured down on the ground, Pharaoh and his officials hardened their heart.
Why?
This time God struck Egyptian the field, destroyed the flex and barley and people in the field.
First stage let Egyptian felt very inconvenient. From 5th plague took life of livestock. 7th plague destroyed field.
When loss of Egyptian more heavy, Pharaoh like let Moese leave, but still harden their heart.
How?
People's heart still harden, unless they counter great pain or hurt. I hope I have the sensitivity to the sin and wrong action.
God did his work through Moses staff, The Load even can do anything without anything action , just God say a word.

Exalt the name of God on the earth
Since last plague- Flies,The 4th plague, 5th signs. God said to Moses and say to Pharaoh.
Let my people go, so that they may worship me.
5th plague us on Livestock. but Load make a distinguish between the livestock of Israel and that of Egypt. No animal belong to the Israelite die. all the livestock of Egyptians died.
6th: Plague of Boils, The magicians could not stand before Moses because boils broke out on them and on Egyptians.
7thL The Plague of Hail, God could have stretched out his hand and struck Egyptians off the earth, but God have raise Egyptian up for this very purpose- show you my power and my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.
Those officials of Pharaoh who afraid the word of the Load hurried to bring their slaves and their livestock inside, but those who ignored the word of the Load left their slaves and livestock in the field
Why?
Livestock is important to Israel, but it is holy animal to Egyptians and it is important to transportation and economics of Egypt. So God stuck to their livestock.
The plague of Boil let magicians could not stand before Moses, the boils broke on them. They could not get rid of it. may be pain and itch.
After 6 plagues from the Load, some of the official of Egypt afraid the words of Load, so they have action to avoid it, but some ignore God's word. For their heart were hardened.
The purpose of these a few plagues happened on Egyptian is show the power and God's name on the earth.
How?
Know God's mighty hand, make mighty power and God's name is holy and He is The God.
God hope his people say his words directly.
We need afraid the word of God, so as to respect and follow the decrees and laws of God, that is my sacrifice for God.
My first Mother's day without my mother on the world
Last Wednesday night in the church, pastor asked 6 children stood after him, when he shared some works, these 6 children share their love word to their mothers. Suddenly, I was wept, I did not know why, indeed I know because my mother is not exist in this world.
If I was in Taiwan, church will prepare some flower to memory our mother, I will choose white flower this year, but here are not this custom in my Bethel Baptist Church. Pastor gave us a very good sermon. Church showed a video of a family children said some words to their moths, very interesting and lovely children.
My mother prepared many food for us. I could eat whatever food she put on the table without fear that it would harm me. Although she made me eat things I didn't like, I knew she did so because they were good for me. I knew she had my best interest in mind.
This is the kind of relationship we have with God. God's care around me.

I am the Load in this land
The fifth plagues of Flies
God make a distinction between God's people and Pharaoh's people. So that Egyptian will know that I, the Load, am in this land.
Load said to Moses, "Get up early in the morning and confront Pharaoh as he goes to the water and say to him"-- The time & place say to Pharaoh.
Throughout Egypt the land was ruined by the flies.
The sacrifices Israelite offer the Load would be detestable to the Egyptians.
Pharaoh allowed them sacrifice to The Load, but after the fly done, Pharaoh hardened his heart and would not let the people go also.
Why?
Sacrifices is detestable to Egyptian, so as Flies are detestable to Egyptian.
The Load make distinction between his people and people are not belong to him. One have mercy, others has plagues.
Pharaoh during the suffering he promised, but when it was relieved he regret and hardened his heart again.
Egyptian sacrifice their god by vegetable only, bull & sheep are holy stock to Egyptian.
How?
Can I live in the world make distinction between christian and non christian? I will do my best and need God's strength and mercy.
God is the Load in whole of the world.

Bless my heart with the Load
Third is the plague of frogs, When Pharaoh saw that there was relief, he harden his heart and would not listen to Moses and Aaron, just as God had said.
Fourth is the plague of gnats, the magicians could not do it anymore, they said to Pharaoh "This is the finger of God", But Pharaoh's heart was hard and he would not listen, just as the Load had said.
Why?
God knows everything.
God will let Egyptian knows what were God did, let them know He is the Load.
Egypt's magician could did first 3 miraculous signs, but since the plague of gnat from the ground, they failed and confessed it was the finger of the God.
How?
God's finger can do big things
When people harden their heart, he won't really know the Load. It is depend on his heart.
Please bless my heart to be with the Load

Serve God is not limitation of age
The Load let Moses like God to Pharaoh, and Aaron will be Moses prophet.
Moses say everything God command he.
God will harden Pharaoh's heart, and though God multiply miraculous signs and wonders in Egypt.
Egyptian will know I am the Load when I stretch out my hand against Egypt and bring the Israelites out of it.
First miraculous sign is Aaron's staff becomes a snake
Second miraculous sign is the plague of blood, all rivers, canal, ponds and all the reservoirs were turned to blood. Egyptian could not drink its water.
Pharaoh's heart turned hard, he did not listen to Moses and Aaron.
These 2 signs did in front of Pharaoh, Egyptian magicians did the same things.
Moses and Aaron did God's command were 80 & 83 years old.
Why?
God talked to Moses and Moses said everything God command him, so Moses did like God to Pharaoh. Moses is God's ambassador.
God begins a series of judgments which will teach pharaoh and his people who the Load is.
The magicians may counterfeit, but they cannot countermand.
To do God's work, no limitation of age.
How?
All of the Christians are the ambassadors of God, I should show the witness in front of people around me.
Magician does counterfeit but cannot countermand.
Not matter how old I will be, when I follow God's decrees and laws, I will be a good servant of God.
Serve God is not limitation of age

Servant of the Load speak what Load says
Their families is bigger than clans.
Described the family record of Moses and Aaron, but started from Reuben and Simen, then Levi according to their record.
More detail to described the tribe of Levi
Sons of Levi were Gershon, Kohath and Merari
Sons of Kohath were Amram, Izhar, Hebron and Uzziel.
Amram married his father's sister Jochebed, who bore him Aaron and Moses.
Aaron married Elissheba, daughter of Amminadab, and she bore him Nadab, Abihu, Elazar and Ithamar.
Eleazar son of Aaron married one of the daughter Putiel, and she bore him Phinehas.
God said to Moses and Aaron:'Bring the Israelites out of Egypt by their divisions.
They were the ones who spoke to Pharaoh about bring the Israelites out of Egypt. It was Moses and Aaron.
Why?
Aaron & Moses are so important in the history of Israel.
Son of Moses are not so famous, but Eleazar son of Aaron did some great works.
Moses was very intimate to the Load. It is not means his son will do great things.
Family Record written in the bible is mean started a new era or new generation.
Moses and Aaron did what God told them to do. Moses was the agent of The Load before Pharaoh.
Divisions: There were 12 tribes of Israel been brought out from Egypt by Moses. The family and clans are important, it is related to their inheritance.
How?
We are servant of The Load. We speak what God tough us. We should not said too much.

You are the mighty God with abundant love
The Load said to Moses "I am the Load", 3 times.
You will see what I will do to Pharaoh: Because of my mighty hand he will let you go.
God said to Moses, I established my covenant with them to give them the land of Cannan, where they lived as aliens. Moreover, whom the Egyptians are enslaving, and I have remembered my covenant.
I will bring you to the land I swore with uplifted hand to give to Abraham, to Issac and to Jacob.
Moses reported to Israelites, but they did not listen to him because of their discouragement and cruel bondage.
I will take you as my own people, and I will be your God. This is the covenant from the God.
Why?
God is might God, He has might hand, The load said "I am the Load"
God is active, it is His mercy and love showed to us.
During the trouble people don't like to listen Moses's talk. because they did not know who is the Load.
During the discouragement and bondage, people knows the Load.
It is God who chose me, it wasn't we chose the God.
How?
I know who is my Load, He is mighty God. God loves us.
God has his time and plan, during the suffering I am waiting for the Load. He is faithful and merciful to us.
I am his people, He is my God. To be hos people, to be hos son is so great mercy on me.
Thanks Load, I love you, my Load.

Trouble was predicted by The Load
Ever since I went to Pharaoh to speak in your name, he has brought trouble upon this people.
Pharaoh did not know The Load and was not let Israel go, and said they are lazy.
Pharaoh laid more heavy labor on Israelite.
The Israelite foreman appealed to Pharaoh , and realized they were in trouble. After that they complained with Moses and Aaron.
Why?
When told someone who do not know The Load, may get more worse feed back.
This seems less than the whole truth; but it is in the nature of a testcase. Israel had to leave Egypt in order to sacrifice because the nature of their sacrifice was offensive to the Egyptians.
Pharaoh reaction reveals his implacable hostility, already predicted by God.
Pharaoh do know The Load so criticized Israelite lazy.
How?
We do follow the command of God, do in name of God, sometime may get more trouble. But this is the procedure, that God is with us. Do not afraid of it, it is in the hand of God.
Do not talk to much about the Load with who doesn't knows God.
Trouble does not mean God did it, but it was predicted by God.

Life connection with God; Jesus prophet
Moses took the staff of God in his hand.
The Load said to Moses," When you return to Egypt, see that your perform before Pharaoh all the wonders I have given you the power to do."
But I will harden his heart so that he will not let the people go.
The Load said "Israel is my first born son, ...you(Egypt) refused to let him go; so I will kill your firstborn son"
Moses met Load at the loading place, or Moses son met the Load. God was about to kill him, or in accident or in illness.
Zipporah took a flint knife, cut off her son's foreskin and touched Moses' feet with it. she said "Surely you are a bridge of blood to me"
Elders of Israelites heard what Allen said, they believed them and bowed down and worshiped God.
Why?
God used the staff to do miracle signs, then this staff became the staff of God.
God with Moses, so Moses has power to do all signs before people and Pharaoh.
God harden the heart of Pharaoh until their firstborn was killed. A prophetical signature to Jesus- His firstborn son be killed.
Before circumcision could not perform the work of God. Moses is exchanged by hos son's blood, so Zipporah said you are a bridge of blood to me.
How?
Everything touched by God become Holy. Our life is the same, touched by Holy Spirit become a new life.
The Load will kill the firstborn in Egypt, it is a prophet of Jesus. By the blood of Jesus, let people of God get out of Egypt- a place of slave of sin.
To be a servant of God has been touched by God, experienced the might power of God. It is a life connection with God.

3 signs from The Load, go and do it; God will help us
Moses has staff, God uses his staff in his life, God let Moses perform miraculous signs with it.
Moses afraid Israelites do not believe what he say, asked The Load gave him some signs.
The Load gave Moses 3 signs, 1)His staff can become a snake, 2) He can be leprous when he put his hand into his cloak. 3) He take some water from the Nile and pour it one the dry ground. The water he take from the river will become blood in the ground.
Moses was afraid he have never been eloquent, neither God have spoken to him, He was slow of speech and tongue.
The Load said: Who gave man his month?...Is it not I, The Load. Now go; I will help you speak adn will teach you what to say"
But Moses said,'O Load, please send someone else to do it", Then the Load's anger burned against Moses. God let hos brother Allen speak to the people for him. It will be as if he were Moses's mouth and as if Moses were God to Allen. The relationship between Moses and his brother Allen.
Why?
God used Moses's staff to be a sign, it was Moses living tool in his work everyday.
God give his servant many signs, at least 3 signs, let him know this is really came from the Load. It is not accident or magic.
Moses still doubt his speech, he afraid what he say in front of Israelites and Pharaoh. God gave him the faith even arrange his brother Allen to be his mouth. But Allen will as if Moses were God to him. Moses 's identity is most higher than his brother even Allen speech for Moses. The authority from the Load is not changed.
The Load gave Moses so many signs and said God will help him what to say, Moses had not faith so God angry to him.
God did not allow someone else replace Moses to be his servant
How?
Do not refuse God's sign and mission, Do not afraid what to say and what to do, if it is commanded from the Load, God is with me. Do not afraid about it. Just go and do it.
God will use what I familiar with it, God let us learned and prepared the mission for a long time when it is the time, God will let us to do it.
I may ask 3 signs to God to make sure what is the way I can go? or to do it.
