Exodus
So I started reading my bible over from the beginning about a couple of weeks ago. Today when I was reading I noticed something... In exodus, when Moses and Aaron keep asking the pharoah to let God's people go to worship him... Well, here's the verse and I'm sure you've heard it: "The egyptians shall know that I am the LORD, when I stretch out my hand againstEgypt and bring the Israelites out from among them." Well, I don't know about you but normally when I read that verse- well it sounds like the Egyptians are gonna know that God is all big and powerful and mighty- and I think that's part of it- but it says they'll know he is the LORD- He is not only revealing who he is to the Israelites, but also to the Egyptians, isn't that interesting- that doesn't mean the Egyptians all suddenly realize he's God and change and start believing in him, but He not only revealed himself to his people, but also to the egyptians. After what he did, there could be no doubting - to the rational mind at least- that their God existed..... Oh, and here's one more interesting verse: "They said tho them 'The LORD look upon you and judge! You have brought us into bad odor with pharoah and his officials, and have put a sword in their hand to kill us.' " Isn't that ironic- they didn't understand and said the lord judge you- and yet moses and aaron were doing exactly as the lord had told them to do. 2 things, don't worry so much about criticism from others.... secondly, don't be so quick to judge- you're not God after all....
