The theocrat. [volume] (Zion City [i.e. Zion], Ill.) 1914-1949, 1918-08-17


And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast
with fire, and unleavened bread; and with bitter
herbs they shall eat it,
And thus shall We eat it; with your loins girded,
your shoes your feet and your staff in your
hand; and We shall eat it in haste: it is the Lord $
passover
For I will pass through the land of Egypt this
night and will smite all the frstborn in the land
of Egypt, both and beast; and against all the
gods of Egypt 1 will execute judgment: l am the
Lord.
And the blood shall be to you for token upon
the houses where We are: and when the blood,
1 will pass you, and the plague shall not be
upon you to destroy you, when smite the land OF
Egypt.
Here was REDEMPTION BY BLOOD
2. Then came REDEMPTION BY POWER.
Israel was kept from all the plaques while
Egypt was terribly smitten even to the death
of every firstborn.
3. Masses and Israel were pursued, but de-
livered at the Red Sea- Carefully read the
Fourteenth and Fifteenth Chapters Of Exodus.
4. Having been delivered from Pharaoh and
Egypt, and having crossed the Red Sea by the
power of God, their march, under Moses
leadership toward THE PROMISED LAND
Canaan - began.
Because of Israel s unbelief and sin at Ka-
desh- Barnea she was condemned to wander in
the Wilderness forty years, when they might
have gone right over to the Promised Land at
| once.
Numbers IA :26-4 = read this great passage
carefully and note what Gods people were
deprived Of by SIN AGAINST GOD AND
REBELLION AGAINST MOSES, HIS CHIC
SEN GENERAL OVERSEER
v. Israels Criticism Of and Murmuring
Against, Moses, their General Overseer
l. At the Red Sea - Exodus IA :1O-15:
And when Pharaoh drew nigh, the children of
Israel lifted up their eyes, and, behold, the Egyp-
tians marched after them; and they sore
afraid: and the children of Israel cried out unto
the Lord
graves in Egypt, hast thou taken away to die in
the wilderness? wherefore hast thou dealt thus with
us, to carry US forth out of Egypt?
Is not this the word that did tell thee in
Egypt, saying, Let alone, that may serve the
Egyptians? For it had been better for us to serve
| the Egyptians, than that we should die in the
wilderness
And Moses said unto the people, Fear We not
stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord
which He will shew to you today: for the Egyptians
whom we have today, We shall them again
more for ever.
The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold
your peace.
thou unto Me? speak unto the children of Israeli
that they go forward
Note that these verses contain also Moses
answer to their first murmuring.
2. At Marah Exodus Is :23-27:
And when they came to Marah, they could not
drink of the waters of Marah for they were bitter
therefore the name of it was called Marah.
And the people murmured against Moses, saying
What shall drink?
And he cried unto the Lord; and the Lord showed
him tree, which when he had cast into the waters

them statute and ordinance, and there He
proved them,
And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the
voice of the Lord thy God, and wilt do that which
is right in His sight, and wilt give to His COM
mandments, and keep all His statutes | will put
none of these diseases upon thee, which I have
brought upon the Egyptians for the Lord that
healeth thee.
And they came to Elm, where were twelve wells
of water, and threescore and ten palm trees: and
they encamped there by the waters.
Note that here God tested, tried and proved
His people
Note also that He challenged them to obedi-
ence; for there He introduced, and dared them
to keep, THE COVENANT OF DIVINE HEAL
ING AND KEEPING And all these things
are for us today upon the same conditions
3. In the Wilderness Of Sin Exodus
Is lib:
And they took their journey from Elm, and all
the congregation of the children of Israel came
unto the wilderness of Sin, which is between Elm
and Sinai on the fifteenth day of the second month
after their departing out of the land of Egypt.
And the whole congregation of the children of
Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron in the
wilderness:
And the children Of Israel said unto them, Would
to God we had died by the hand of the Lord in the
land OF Egypt, when we sat by the flesh pots, and
when we did eat bread to the full for We have
brought forth into this Wilderness to kill This
whole assembly with hunger
Then said the Lord unto Moses, Behold | will
rain bread from heaven for you; and the people
shall go out and gather certain rate every day
that may prove them whether they will walk in
