Bible Texts ( Concordant Version of the Old Testament and Concordant Literal New Testament with keywords Concordance (Main text: Exodus chapter 7) Have you ever watched movies which show a couple of roller-coasters between the the Savior and the Captor? If not, Terminator 2 is an example of such movies. The Captor appeared to be winning but the Savior never gave up until the Captor lost finally. Such a situation is what happened in the book of Exodus.

What do you think might be the next line of action? It is obvious that Pharaoh had drawn the line between him and Yahweh. This is why Yahweh informed Moses in Exodus chapter 7 on how to begin to strategize his plan. F

                                                             Moses speak with Israelite Elders How Yahweh relates with his creations (series 56) Exodus: The War Begins. Bible Texts ( Concordant Version of the Old Testament and Concordant Literal New Testament with keywords Concordance (Main text: Exodus chapter 6) Last week blog discussed how Moses and Aaron met with Pharaoh to deliver Yahweh's mandate. Pharaoh found it amusing and of course very insulting to let the Israelites go.

Moses was given a mandate to go and tell Pharaoh to let his people go back to their land gushing with milk and honey. Have you ever made an attempt to face an opponent that looks intimidating? Have you ever been assigned to perform a task that you had no prior experience and the volume of work is beyond your capacity? To men, how did you feel when you were to speak to a lady you greatly admire and love for the first time? All these would probably be arduous tasks to achieve. It would seem like you are trying to face and defeat a gigantic Goliath with your seemingly feeble weapon. This week, Moses and his elder brother Aa

How Yahweh relates with his creations (series 54) Exodus: The Call (continues) Bible Texts ( Concordant Version of the Old Testament and Concordant Literal New Testament with keywords Concordance (Main text: Exodus chapter 4) Yahweh (God) or an Angel: Who was actually in the burning bush? Last week blog discussed the beginning of the encounter Moses had with Elohim when he was shepherding flocks of sheep towards Mountain Horeb (Sinai). It is also called the Mountain of God. There, Moses found out the reason for his being. In other bible version, it was recorded that an Angel appeared in the bush as a burning fire. Like it was mentioned in Genesis 15 that the word "Lord" or "Angel" appeared and received people's obeisance/worship and declared himself as God or Elohim implicate that th
