Identity That Can't
 Be Shaken
PRAYER - "Moses the Intercessor"
After meeting God in Sinai, Moses found Israel riotously worshiping a golden calf. God started to utterly destroy them, offering to make Moses a great nation instead. But Moses wanted to be blotted out of the book of life if God would not save Israel. That was dramatic intercession!
Exodus 32:31-32 - "Moses returned unto the LORD, and said, Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, and have made them gods of gold. Yet now, if thou wilt forgive their sin--; and if not, blot me, I pray thee, out of thy book which thou hast written." Let's read the story.  Bible and Commentary.


PRINCIPALS - "Exodus"
The book of Exodus is, at the outset, a biography of Moses - arguably the most significant human being ever born. Without Moses, there would have been no Bible, no Jews, no Christians, and no Muslims, and no rule of law as we know it. What man left his stamp on civilization for all time as Moses? Yet, if there had been no burning bush, no voice of God, no leprous hand, no rod changed to a serpent, we would never have heard of Moses. Without God, there had been no Moses. What would not happened if Moses had procrastinated.
     Deuteronomy 33:1 - "Moses the man of God"  Let's read the story. Bible and Commentary.

PRINCIPLES - "The Ten Commandments"
Before God gave Moses the Ten Commandments, He had already done many mighty miracles in behalf of the children of Israel (i.e., deliverance from Pharaoh, Red Sea crossing, Manna, Quail, etc.). If they had been grateful, they should have been eager to conform to His commandments. But God had to remind them of His goodness. Let us remember that we owe Him far more than He will ever ask of us.

Exodus 20:2 - "I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage."  Let's read the story. Bible and Commentary.


PROPHECIES - "The Tabernacle Plan"


The Tabernacle plan was as prophetic as anything in the Bible. Virtually everything about the tabernacle and its furnishings carried a message about the coming Messiah and His plan to redeem men from their sins. If Moses had not followed God's pattern meticulously, a profound message would have been skewed or totally lost.

Exodus 25:8-9 - "And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them. According to all that I shew thee, after the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all the instruments thereof, even so shall ye make it."  Let's read the story. Bible and Commentary.
