00:00:04.919 --> 00:00:11.919
about the Bible in fun, in
practical ways. Hey, we are so

3
00:00:12.000 --> 00:00:16.280
pleased that you have tuned in for

Guys. There you go, and
this can be incredible. It is an

5
00:00:19.120 --> 00:00:22.000
amazing day. Plant. I hope
you brought your a game today, Chris

6
00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:26.199
Well, I did bring a game. Okay, there you go, horse

7
00:00:26.239 --> 00:00:29.199
around? Yes, okay, well, hey, today we're going to just

8
00:00:29.280 --> 00:00:32.679
jump in to it speak. Hey, there you go. Huh so good

9
00:00:32.719 --> 00:00:37.280
transition. Desiree wrote down how well
do you know them? We're talking about

10
00:00:37.320 --> 00:00:41.679
the birth and rescue of Moses today. So for this segment of how well

11
00:00:41.719 --> 00:00:44.119
do you know Them, Chris is
going to ask Jeff three to four questions

12
00:00:44.119 --> 00:00:47.119
about his childhood. We're going to
see if Jeff knows them. What does

13
00:00:47.159 --> 00:00:50.520
that have to do with Moses?
I don't know. Maybe she loves your

14
00:00:50.520 --> 00:00:54.880
beard, Moses child. How do
you know Moses had a beard? I

15
00:00:54.920 --> 00:01:02.119
don't know because I watched the show. That's true. Yeah, those those

16
00:01:02.159 --> 00:01:04.760
Hebrew guys, they probably had beards. There you go, Okay, So

17
00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:07.760
here's what I'm gonna do I'm gonna
do true or false, and I'm I'm

18
00:01:07.799 --> 00:01:11.000
just gonna get you to just guess
true or false. It's not true or

19
00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:14.920
false. It's not like tutors and
lie. It's just simply true or false.

20
00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:18.480
I'm gonna give you like radical things. Good, Okay, ready,

21
00:01:18.599 --> 00:01:21.079
yep, because true or false,
I don't have to think about it.

22
00:01:21.120 --> 00:01:23.719
I can just randomly guess a thing
and it doesn't matter. You didn't have

23
00:01:23.799 --> 00:01:27.000
to you didn't have to care.
Okay, I don't. Okay, here

24
00:01:27.000 --> 00:01:32.400
we go. Points, Yes,
this is going to be. Okay,

25
00:01:32.439 --> 00:01:34.519
what we're just gonna go with five
hundred points. There's four of them.

26
00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:38.439
Okay, to the ability to make
two thousand points Again, listeners, Chris

27
00:01:38.519 --> 00:01:42.840
is being cheap with the points.
But okay, here we go. I

28
00:01:42.840 --> 00:01:46.959
should have said one, you should
have a million. No, I should

29
00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:49.400
have said three points. Okay,
here we go. Ready, When I

30
00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:56.640
was young, I was standing in
ankle deep water next to my swimming pool

31
00:01:57.239 --> 00:02:00.959
trying to plug in floodlights, and
I electric you myself, and I held

32
00:02:00.959 --> 00:02:07.240
on to it so long that my
arm turned black, turned black, purple,

33
00:02:07.400 --> 00:02:10.120
dark purple, and then there was
a little bit of a black spark

34
00:02:10.120 --> 00:02:15.199
on my finger. It's true.
Actually, is it true? So my

35
00:02:15.319 --> 00:02:17.240
arms no, listen, listen to
me. My arm was purple. I

36
00:02:17.319 --> 00:02:22.800
just described it purple, purple,
and then the spark turned my fingers black.

37
00:02:22.919 --> 00:02:24.520
Okay, all right, that's true. I got hung up on the

38
00:02:24.520 --> 00:02:27.919
color of your arm. Okay,
the rest of itself, well, I

39
00:02:27.919 --> 00:02:31.479
mean it sounded legit, I corrected
myself. Okay, here's the second one.

40
00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:39.319
My brothers went around and uprooted and
stole every stop sign in our entire

41
00:02:39.360 --> 00:02:43.439
neighborhood. I'm going to say that's
true. And then wait a minute,

42
00:02:43.439 --> 00:02:46.479
I'm not done. I know,
but your brothers and then pieced them together

43
00:02:47.240 --> 00:02:52.479
and made one giant stop sign that
was like probably one two, three,

44
00:02:52.560 --> 00:02:55.680
four, five sixty seven eight high. And then the newspaper came out,

45
00:02:57.039 --> 00:03:00.280
took a photograph, and it made
the front page of the news. I

46
00:03:00.280 --> 00:03:04.919
want to say, that's true,
that is true. I didn't even need

47
00:03:04.960 --> 00:03:07.000
to let me get to the best
part of the story. My brother stole

48
00:03:07.080 --> 00:03:14.039
something. That's true, all right, the ball boys were bad boys.

49
00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:15.599
Well then, and then think about
this one. This is sort of another

50
00:03:15.639 --> 00:03:22.360
brother thing, but this is atlandish. In the wintertime, my brothers built

51
00:03:22.400 --> 00:03:25.479
a snow wall about three feet thick, because you know, back then,

52
00:03:25.599 --> 00:03:30.400
snow was pretty high right right across
Kirk Road, which is a main road

53
00:03:30.599 --> 00:03:35.000
right by our house, and they
watered it down with water. So I

54
00:03:35.080 --> 00:03:38.960
turned into ice so that people would
have no choice but to drive down the

55
00:03:38.080 --> 00:03:43.759
road see this wall that was higher
than a car and have to turn around

56
00:03:43.919 --> 00:03:46.520
and go the other way. Ice. They made ice out of it.

57
00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:52.199
Ice wall and ice wall. It
sounds like a zar ball boy thing.

58
00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:54.759
I'm going to say, yes,
it's true. Is it true? Three

59
00:03:54.879 --> 00:04:00.479
true statements? Okay, okay,
all right, and I have a thousand

60
00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:03.840
points now out of fifteen possible.
You can't add. I said five hundred

61
00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:08.280
points each, I know. But
the first one I got wrong. Oh

62
00:04:08.319 --> 00:04:11.240
you did get wrong. I know. So I'm also honest. My bad.

63
00:04:11.280 --> 00:04:13.759
There you go. Okay, a
thousand points. Last one. Here

64
00:04:13.800 --> 00:04:16.360
we go. My brother Donnie,
by the time he turned twenty one on

65
00:04:16.399 --> 00:04:24.800
his twenty first birthday, he had
wrecked and totaled twenty one cars. I

66
00:04:24.839 --> 00:04:27.439
know he's wrecked in total a bunch
of cars. I'm going to say faults

67
00:04:27.480 --> 00:04:30.839
on twenty one. It's twenty one. He wrecked in total, twenty one

68
00:04:30.879 --> 00:04:33.560
cars on one cars by his twenty
first birthday, because he was a mechanic

69
00:04:33.759 --> 00:04:38.680
and he would buy cars for one
hundred dollars and just junkers and then go

70
00:04:38.720 --> 00:04:43.839
out and just like well he would
he would do like what do you call

71
00:04:43.879 --> 00:04:46.519
it, like a off roading,
right, and he would do it on

72
00:04:46.519 --> 00:04:48.439
purpose. But then he would just
like you know, slide wreck, hit

73
00:04:48.480 --> 00:04:51.240
a tree and be like whoa,
I guess it's the end of that car,

74
00:04:51.319 --> 00:04:54.879
and then go get another walking home. Let you buy another one for

75
00:04:54.879 --> 00:04:57.519
one hundred dollars, okay, And
then he wrecked in total. But it's

76
00:04:57.560 --> 00:05:00.000
true. He wrecked in total twenty
one cars by his twenty first birthday.

77
00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:02.360
So I only got a thousand points
out of two thousand possible. Yes,

78
00:05:02.439 --> 00:05:06.040
that's true. Okay, Well I'm
sure that we had some uh listeners,

79
00:05:06.439 --> 00:05:11.560
is that it's a fifty? I
know, I feel terrible. I'm slipping,

80
00:05:11.600 --> 00:05:13.560
grace, Hey, listen. The
only way to glipping. The only

81
00:05:13.600 --> 00:05:15.879
way to get an a with four
questions is to get all four of them

82
00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:18.720
right. That's true. So I
was slipping on that one. So so

83
00:05:18.839 --> 00:05:23.000
I tricked you though four truths,
I didn't have one. You didn't have

84
00:05:23.000 --> 00:05:26.279
a single false thing which I'm not
accustomed to. I'm not accustomed to you

85
00:05:26.279 --> 00:05:32.279
talking about saying so false. So
yeah, that was a low blow.

86
00:05:32.959 --> 00:05:36.360
You're just trying to make yourself feel
better at this point because you only got

87
00:05:36.839 --> 00:05:41.240
fifty percent. Got fifty percent,
I'm sorry. And these were about your

88
00:05:41.240 --> 00:05:44.000
brothers, and I don't know your
brothers as well as I know you,

89
00:05:44.079 --> 00:05:46.240
So there's that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, right, yeah, Well

90
00:05:46.240 --> 00:05:50.000
apparently you know me well enough to
say that you're not used to be telling

91
00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:57.879
the true. Okay, that's so
funny. Well, hey, as Chris's

92
00:05:58.360 --> 00:06:04.199
incredible introduction to the podcast today said, we're kicking off the birth of Moses.

93
00:06:04.360 --> 00:06:06.680
Yeah, if you were with us
last week, the last day,

94
00:06:06.759 --> 00:06:15.800
we talked about how Pharaoh was really
skeptical and nervous about the people of Israel.

95
00:06:15.839 --> 00:06:18.040
They were expanding so much, and
so he determined that what they needed

96
00:06:18.040 --> 00:06:23.759
to do was the midwives needed to
kill all the baby boys, right and

97
00:06:25.040 --> 00:06:28.600
yuh yeah, and these midwives were
finding different ways to get around it.

98
00:06:28.759 --> 00:06:31.839
So with that as the backdrop,
the people of Israel now are slaves.

99
00:06:32.399 --> 00:06:38.160
This very likely. Did you know
there's two different dates for the exodus as

100
00:06:38.199 --> 00:06:45.199
people try to figure out what time
what dynasties are we talking about. So

101
00:06:45.199 --> 00:06:48.399
some people would say Ramsey's the second
would be his because he was particularly wicked

102
00:06:48.399 --> 00:06:54.199
and evil, that would make a
later date for the exodus. It's probably

103
00:06:54.279 --> 00:06:57.759
unlikely that would have been. And
the reason why everybody says Ramsey's, well,

104
00:06:57.800 --> 00:07:00.800
there's a lot of reasons. But
if you ever saw Charlton Heston's ten

105
00:07:00.839 --> 00:07:04.480
Commandments, they chose Ramses as the
guy, right, it's very unlikely.

106
00:07:04.680 --> 00:07:12.439
It's probably topmost, the second and
in that age, which is interesting because

107
00:07:12.480 --> 00:07:15.879
as you read the story, his
daughter is going to come into the story,

108
00:07:15.920 --> 00:07:19.199
and she's a particularly famous person in
Egypt. It's kind of okay,

109
00:07:19.439 --> 00:07:23.079
So here we go Exodus chapter two, and we're gonna read one through ten,

110
00:07:23.120 --> 00:07:28.560
and it says about are you saying, Hollywood get it wrong. It's

111
00:07:28.560 --> 00:07:31.759
a shock to your system. It's
a shock to your system. Hollywood screwed

112
00:07:31.839 --> 00:07:35.759
up the Bible. Yeah, just
a little, just a little possibly aheah,

113
00:07:35.839 --> 00:07:41.319
Okay. About this time, a
man and woman from the tribe of

114
00:07:41.399 --> 00:07:44.759
Levi got married. The woman became
pregnant and gave birth to a son,

115
00:07:44.839 --> 00:07:47.240
and she saw that he was a
special baby and kept him hidden for three

116
00:07:47.279 --> 00:07:50.720
months but when she could no longer
hide him, she got a basket made

117
00:07:50.720 --> 00:07:56.800
of papyrus reads and waterproofed it with
tar and pitch. She put the baby

118
00:07:56.800 --> 00:08:00.480
in the basket and laid it among
the reads along the bank of the Nile

119
00:08:00.560 --> 00:08:03.639
River. The baby's sister then stood
at a distance, watching to see what

120
00:08:03.759 --> 00:08:07.439
happened to him. Soon, Pharaoh's
daughter came down to bathe in the river,

121
00:08:07.680 --> 00:08:11.959
and her attendants walked along the river
bank. When the princess saw the

122
00:08:13.000 --> 00:08:15.639
basket among the reeds, she sent
her maid to get it for her.

123
00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:18.399
When the princess opened it, she
saw the baby and the little boy was

124
00:08:18.399 --> 00:08:20.800
crying. She felt sorry for him. This must be one of the Hebrew

125
00:08:20.839 --> 00:08:24.000
children, she said. Then the
baby's sister approached the princess. Should I

126
00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:26.439
go and find one of the Hebrew
women to nurse the baby for you?

127
00:08:26.839 --> 00:08:30.800
She asked, Yes, do,
the princess replied. So the girl went

128
00:08:30.839 --> 00:08:33.159
and called the baby's mother, take
this baby and nurse him for me.

129
00:08:33.279 --> 00:08:37.120
The princess told the baby's mother,
I will pay you for your help.

130
00:08:37.240 --> 00:08:41.279
So the woman took her baby home
and nursed him lady. Later, when

131
00:08:41.279 --> 00:08:43.559
the boy was older, his mother
brought him back to Pharaoh's daughter, who

132
00:08:43.600 --> 00:08:48.399
adopted him as her own son.
The princess named him Moses, for she

133
00:08:48.519 --> 00:08:54.559
explained, I lifted him out of
the water. There you go. Was

134
00:08:54.600 --> 00:09:00.559
it amazing? You know what's so
interesting about this is that it it just

135
00:09:00.720 --> 00:09:05.240
it throws this. What is it
a coincidence? It's it's God's ordination,

136
00:09:05.919 --> 00:09:09.080
you know, for them to say
should I you know, the servant says,

137
00:09:09.080 --> 00:09:11.799
shall I grab one of the Hebrew
women? You know? And then

138
00:09:11.919 --> 00:09:16.840
it just so happens that she grabs
his mother. Yeah, yeah, so

139
00:09:16.840 --> 00:09:20.279
so it was Miriam, it was
it was Moses's sister, right, went

140
00:09:20.320 --> 00:09:24.679
and got Moses's mom. Oh that's
what That's what happened there, you're right,

141
00:09:24.720 --> 00:09:26.480
right. So remember it says that
the baby's sister stood at a distance

142
00:09:26.559 --> 00:09:30.480
washing to see what it would happen. Yes, and then when the princess

143
00:09:30.480 --> 00:09:33.039
finds the baby, she goes and
says, hey, would you like me

144
00:09:33.080 --> 00:09:35.120
to go find something? Oh?
No, I missed that. I missed

145
00:09:35.120 --> 00:09:37.279
that. Yeah, it says it
right there first number seven, So we

146
00:09:37.320 --> 00:09:43.000
know then the baby's sister approached the
princess, right, so we know Miriam

147
00:09:43.120 --> 00:09:46.960
is Moses's sister, and so she's
like, hey, I know a lady

148
00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:50.559
that could help, right, right, this newborn baby's mother. Yeah.

149
00:09:50.679 --> 00:09:54.519
Yeah, you know what, It's
so funny because I I glossed over that

150
00:09:54.639 --> 00:10:01.080
and I just didn't comprehend that.
But in the in the movie that I've

151
00:10:01.120 --> 00:10:05.600
seen one hundred times on TV,
that wasn't the case. It wasn't the

152
00:10:05.639 --> 00:10:09.279
sister. Yeah, well no,
no, it wasn't it just what was

153
00:10:09.320 --> 00:10:15.080
the princess name, Nephtale neph Tully. Yeah, so yeah, the princess

154
00:10:15.120 --> 00:10:18.799
probably wasn't. Okay, Well,
the one in the movie was nepht Ley,

155
00:10:18.120 --> 00:10:22.080
and she took the baby in and
just literally just raised the baby.

156
00:10:22.639 --> 00:10:28.679
So there was no grabbing a Hebrew
mother. No, so literally the storyline

157
00:10:28.759 --> 00:10:33.440
is that this baby's out there.
The princess finds the baby, you know,

158
00:10:33.480 --> 00:10:35.320
the baby's crying, which then breaks
her heart. Oh poor baby.

159
00:10:35.360 --> 00:10:41.480
Everybody wants to help a crying baby. So then Miriam steps out, Hey,

160
00:10:41.559 --> 00:10:43.840
do you want me to find somebody
to nurse the baby? Sure?

161
00:10:43.879 --> 00:10:48.159
And then the Bible says, take
this baby and nurse him for me,

162
00:10:48.519 --> 00:10:52.320
and then I'll pay you to do
it, right, so my baby lives.

163
00:10:52.399 --> 00:10:56.879
I'm getting money. Yeah, and
she took the baby home. It

164
00:10:56.919 --> 00:11:00.919
says later when the boy was older, right, not when the baby was

165
00:11:00.960 --> 00:11:03.879
older. When the boy was older, toddler, his mother brought him back

166
00:11:03.879 --> 00:11:07.879
to pharaoh's daughter, who adopted him
as her own son. Yeah. Yeah,

167
00:11:07.080 --> 00:11:11.799
he wasn't a baby anymore. Yeah, so that's pretty incredible. And

168
00:11:11.840 --> 00:11:15.759
so what's so interesting is you said, you said Hollywood got it wrong maybe

169
00:11:15.759 --> 00:11:18.000
in the dynasty. Not only did
they get it wrong in the dynasty,

170
00:11:18.240 --> 00:11:20.919
they got details, the details wrong. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, So

171
00:11:22.279 --> 00:11:24.840
what I was going to say,
is it so there's the earlier exodus and

172
00:11:24.879 --> 00:11:31.039
there's the later exodus. The later
exodus has several problems historically as far as

173
00:11:31.039 --> 00:11:33.559
timing. So if the earlier exodus
is correct, then this would have been

174
00:11:33.600 --> 00:11:39.399
Topmost, the Second's daughter. Topmost. The second wasn't known to be particularly

175
00:11:39.480 --> 00:11:43.080
mean or horrible, but hey,
it's he did have a lot of slaves

176
00:11:43.120 --> 00:11:45.799
and things, so that's not a
problem. But this would have made his

177
00:11:45.919 --> 00:11:52.240
daughter be hat Sepsuit, and she
was a female pharaoh eventually, so after

178
00:11:52.240 --> 00:11:56.519
her father died, she becomes And
so have you ever seen just outside of

179
00:11:56.559 --> 00:12:00.440
the Valley of the Kings, there's
that great, big, giant, wide

180
00:12:00.519 --> 00:12:03.559
temple. It's got the stairs that
go all the way up to it.

181
00:12:03.799 --> 00:12:07.320
That's her funerary temple right there.
So it's like one of the most famous,

182
00:12:07.360 --> 00:12:13.519
well, I would say it's probably
the most famous temple in southern Egypt

183
00:12:13.600 --> 00:12:16.440
as far as when you get outside
a Karnaker luxor. This is was her

184
00:12:16.440 --> 00:12:20.399
funerary temple. I've been there.
It's pretty great. But the thing about

185
00:12:20.399 --> 00:12:26.600
it was she was an extremely successful
pharaoh. It didn't last very long,

186
00:12:28.399 --> 00:12:30.360
but during that time there was a
lot of art, all these things,

187
00:12:30.399 --> 00:12:33.799
and she kept depicting herself as a
male pharaoh, so she had the fake

188
00:12:33.840 --> 00:12:37.000
beard the whole nine yards, and
it was because you know, women weren't

189
00:12:37.000 --> 00:12:41.399
supposed to be pharaohs. So then
her step son, most of the third

190
00:12:41.480 --> 00:12:45.399
becomes a pharaoh and starts chipping her
face off all of her statues. So

191
00:12:45.879 --> 00:12:48.120
it's only because of her temple and
a few other spots that we know that

192
00:12:48.159 --> 00:12:52.720
it was actually a woman and not
a man in her time. And so

193
00:12:54.440 --> 00:12:56.919
the notes here in the Life Application
Study Bible talk about it. It says

194
00:12:58.320 --> 00:13:03.360
who was Pharaoh's daughter? Two popular
explanations something that Hetchepsuit was a woman who

195
00:13:03.399 --> 00:13:05.440
pulled Moses from the river. Her
husband, oh it was a husband,

196
00:13:05.480 --> 00:13:09.200
not father, was Pharaoh Topmost the
second and this would match the earlier exod

197
00:13:09.320 --> 00:13:16.600
estate. Apparently Headchepsuit could not have
children, so Topmost had a son by

198
00:13:16.639 --> 00:13:20.840
another woman, and this son became
heir to the throne. Het Shepsuit would

199
00:13:20.879 --> 00:13:24.279
have considered Moses a gift from the
gods because now she had her own son

200
00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:28.240
who would be the legal heir to
the throne. Right then it goes on.

201
00:13:28.279 --> 00:13:31.639
It says something that the princess who
rescued Moses was the daughter Ramses a

202
00:13:31.679 --> 00:13:35.399
second, but this would have made
the later exit a state and it wouldn't

203
00:13:35.399 --> 00:13:41.039
have really worked out. So if
it was uh he Sepsuit, she wound

204
00:13:41.120 --> 00:13:43.679
up being a particularly good pharaoh for
a while. But then what happened was

205
00:13:45.279 --> 00:13:50.720
her step son winds up becoming the
heir to the throne. And he's the

206
00:13:50.759 --> 00:13:54.240
one who chipped out her entire story
and made himself replaced his face on all

207
00:13:54.240 --> 00:13:58.120
of her statues. Wow, yeah, yeah, well that's interesting. Then

208
00:13:58.120 --> 00:14:01.120
he was particularly cruel, so it
makes sense he would be the pharaoh that

209
00:14:01.639 --> 00:14:05.080
Moses squares off against at the end
on the way out of out of Egypt.

210
00:14:05.320 --> 00:14:09.759
Yeah, and and then and that
would make them step brothers sort of.

211
00:14:09.879 --> 00:14:13.360
So well yeah, yeah, so
he was the son of Pharaoh through

212
00:14:13.399 --> 00:14:18.000
another woman and and Moses was the
adopted son right of the pharaoh's wife.

213
00:14:18.120 --> 00:14:22.159
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Yeah, that's pretty neat if you're into the

214
00:14:22.200 --> 00:14:26.720
whole Egyptian thing. She's an incredible
story if you if you ever look all

215
00:14:26.720 --> 00:14:30.240
that up, and uh, really
really neat. So it'd be cool.

216
00:14:30.240 --> 00:14:31.879
And it's about the right time.
That would be about the right time.

217
00:14:31.960 --> 00:14:37.039
So yeah, anyways, that is
interesting because the chronological you know that we

218
00:14:37.080 --> 00:14:41.879
could we could really piece together where
everything happens based on lifespans, right,

219
00:14:41.960 --> 00:14:46.840
yeah, based on uh, you
know, recorded history, things match up

220
00:14:46.840 --> 00:14:50.399
and recorded history, and then the
Bible actually gives you know, times,

221
00:14:50.720 --> 00:14:54.039
and that says, oh, there's
a there's four hundred years of silence between

222
00:14:54.120 --> 00:14:56.600
Malachi and Matthew. Is that right, That's four hundred years of silence.

223
00:14:58.000 --> 00:15:01.279
So you know, you could literally
stack centuries upon each other and go backwards

224
00:15:01.639 --> 00:15:07.159
and figure out the whole thing.
So this is very likely somewhere around fifteen

225
00:15:07.240 --> 00:15:11.600
hundred years before Christ is when all
this is happening. So yeah, if

226
00:15:11.639 --> 00:15:15.559
you're trying to place it, figure
out where it is. There's maybe two

227
00:15:15.559 --> 00:15:18.440
different pharaohs. They're not far apart, but a couple hundred years, but

228
00:15:18.720 --> 00:15:26.159
it's I probably think it would be
more towards this the Tutmoses and Het.

229
00:15:26.480 --> 00:15:30.759
I can't ever say name hat hat
shep suit is how it is? Hepshut

230
00:15:30.759 --> 00:15:35.600
suit, hat shep suit. See
it three times fast, can't I can't

231
00:15:35.279 --> 00:15:39.159
hatshp suit, yeah, hetshet suit, hepshet suit, hat hepsht Shoot,

232
00:15:39.240 --> 00:15:43.279
No, it's hat Okay whatever I
thought I could do it. Yeah,

233
00:15:43.320 --> 00:15:46.360
all of our listeners are like,
okay, now they're all going hat,

234
00:15:46.480 --> 00:15:48.600
chebsuit, hatch right, right,
But look it up. In the Valley

235
00:15:48.600 --> 00:15:52.000
of the Kings, or near the
Valley of the Kings, not far from

236
00:15:52.000 --> 00:15:56.720
where King Tut was found, is
this magnificent funerary temple that is really,

237
00:15:56.759 --> 00:16:00.919
really incredible. So what sermons are
hidden in this thing here? I would

238
00:16:02.000 --> 00:16:07.360
say one of them is, you
know how about this? You know,

239
00:16:07.600 --> 00:16:10.960
God calls us to obey our parents. God calls us to be obey the

240
00:16:11.039 --> 00:16:15.399
laws of the land. But when
the laws of the land or our parents,

241
00:16:15.519 --> 00:16:19.480
you know, give us things that, you know, literally contradict God's

242
00:16:19.519 --> 00:16:25.000
word. You know, it's okay
to disobey because we obey God rather than

243
00:16:25.039 --> 00:16:29.480
man. And so if my mom
said you need to worship the devil,

244
00:16:29.519 --> 00:16:33.200
which she would of course never do, I would say, I'm gonna have

245
00:16:33.200 --> 00:16:36.200
to disobey you there, mom,
right, because I'm not gonna I'm not

246
00:16:36.200 --> 00:16:41.679
gonna go ahead, and you know, choose obeying my mom over God?

247
00:16:41.960 --> 00:16:45.120
Right? Oh, I think I
think you have that. Along those lines,

248
00:16:45.320 --> 00:16:47.279
there's a note here in the life
that case you say about says,

249
00:16:47.279 --> 00:16:49.200
when faced with evil, look for
ways to act against it, and then

250
00:16:49.240 --> 00:16:52.360
trust God to use your effort,
how small it, however small it seems

251
00:16:52.720 --> 00:16:56.919
in his war against evil. Right, And that's what they did, is

252
00:16:56.919 --> 00:16:59.240
they're like, hey, we're not
going to kill this baby. We value

253
00:16:59.279 --> 00:17:02.480
life so much that willing to risk
our own, and we don't know how

254
00:17:02.720 --> 00:17:04.359
to protect this baby. The only
thing I think of is let's make this

255
00:17:04.359 --> 00:17:10.160
little boat and see what God does. And so they decided not at my

256
00:17:10.279 --> 00:17:12.359
hand. I'm not killing this baby
at my hand. And then Miriam's out

257
00:17:12.400 --> 00:17:15.920
there watching taking care of the baby. Don't know how long. But then

258
00:17:15.960 --> 00:17:21.279
Miriam had the guts. Can you
imagine the how difficult it would be for

259
00:17:21.440 --> 00:17:26.319
a Judea approach a pharaoh's daughter be
scary, but she took advantage of that

260
00:17:26.359 --> 00:17:30.559
opportunity and said, Hey, I
know a lady that could help, right,

261
00:17:30.960 --> 00:17:33.519
And you know, I think a
lot of times we miss great opportunities

262
00:17:33.519 --> 00:17:37.839
because we because of fear. Yeah, and we're afraid what if she says

263
00:17:37.880 --> 00:17:40.880
no? Yeah? But what if
she says yes? Right? Right?

264
00:17:41.240 --> 00:17:45.680
And God, so they valued life
so much that they wouldn't execute this baby

265
00:17:45.720 --> 00:17:48.279
or kill this baby at their own
hand. But they had no other choice

266
00:17:48.279 --> 00:17:51.680
but to just trust God that he'd
solve it. Y that Miriam had the

267
00:17:51.680 --> 00:17:53.920
guts to approach, Yeah, that'll
preach. And then what about this one,

268
00:17:55.559 --> 00:17:59.079
the fact that some people just have
a calling on their lives. Yeah,

269
00:17:59.279 --> 00:18:03.279
there are people who they just know
for certain early on that God has

270
00:18:03.400 --> 00:18:07.519
called them to a certain thing,
and then you know, they try to

271
00:18:07.599 --> 00:18:11.960
run from it or they try to
avoid it. And there's no indication that

272
00:18:11.000 --> 00:18:18.880
Moses tried to avoid you know,
you know, his unbelievable upbringing, you

273
00:18:18.880 --> 00:18:21.279
know, but he did flee and
he went to Midian. We'll get to

274
00:18:21.279 --> 00:18:26.119
that part. But he spent years
and years, you know, as a

275
00:18:26.160 --> 00:18:29.279
shepherd until God called him. But
he did try to get out of it

276
00:18:29.279 --> 00:18:32.559
though, didn't he He tried every
excuse under the book. As God said,

277
00:18:32.559 --> 00:18:33.920
I'm choosing you, He's say no, no, no, no,

278
00:18:33.920 --> 00:18:36.720
no no, he say choose anybody
else. We'll get to that in a

279
00:18:36.720 --> 00:18:41.039
minute. But you know this right
here is a pretty good indicator that God

280
00:18:41.079 --> 00:18:48.920
has something special chosen for this baby
boy who is somehow rescued amongst the multitudes.

281
00:18:49.359 --> 00:18:52.839
Right, it's certainly incredible. One
more note, I'm obsessed with the

282
00:18:52.880 --> 00:18:57.559
notes here. It literally says Moses's
mother was reunited with her baby. God

283
00:18:57.680 --> 00:19:03.000
used her courageous act of saving and
hiding her baby to begin his plan to

284
00:19:03.039 --> 00:19:06.920
rescue his people from Egypt. God
doesn't need much from us to accomplish his

285
00:19:06.960 --> 00:19:08.920
plan for our lives, which is
such a great phrase, right, but

286
00:19:10.000 --> 00:19:12.880
he does need us to surrender.
Right. Focusing on our human predicament may

287
00:19:12.920 --> 00:19:18.240
paralyze us because the situation may appear
humanly impossible, But concentrating on God and

288
00:19:18.279 --> 00:19:22.400
his power will help us see the
way out. So right now, you

289
00:19:22.440 --> 00:19:26.279
might feel unable to see through your
troubles, but focus instead on God and

290
00:19:26.279 --> 00:19:29.000
trust him for the way out.
That's all he needs to begin is working

291
00:19:29.119 --> 00:19:30.319
you. That's great, isn't that
great? Yeah, that's really good.

292
00:19:32.000 --> 00:19:36.680
So those are all applications right here. And so we know that God has

293
00:19:36.720 --> 00:19:42.519
great things for Moses. And I
guess did we already say this that people

294
00:19:42.920 --> 00:19:47.039
worship the now River? Yeah,
right, And so they would have.

295
00:19:47.119 --> 00:19:49.400
They would have even in some ways
thought that maybe it was a gift from

296
00:19:49.400 --> 00:19:52.839
the gods, right right, So
even though that obviously she identified it as

297
00:19:52.880 --> 00:19:56.400
a Hebrew child, she might have
thought that, maybe, you know,

298
00:19:56.680 --> 00:20:00.119
this is in the now River,
it could have been something that was you

299
00:20:00.160 --> 00:20:03.279
know, either ordained or you know, or supposed to happen or something like

300
00:20:03.319 --> 00:20:06.480
that, right, because you know, everything revolved around the Nile. They

301
00:20:06.480 --> 00:20:08.960
get everything from the Nile, you
know, food and rich soil and all

302
00:20:08.960 --> 00:20:11.920
these different things, and that would
have been for her. Then this was

303
00:20:11.920 --> 00:20:15.079
her answer to prayer, especially if
this was the topmost story, because there

304
00:20:15.119 --> 00:20:19.559
was a step son that was going
to inherit the throne and she was grieving

305
00:20:19.640 --> 00:20:23.519
and wanted a son, and then
she would have felt like the God of

306
00:20:23.559 --> 00:20:26.960
the Nile gave her a son.
And it's pretty crazy. I think Moses

307
00:20:26.960 --> 00:20:32.720
may have been the heir to the
throne of Egypt, so it's pretty amazing.

308
00:20:32.920 --> 00:20:34.119
Anyways, Hey, this story is
going to get good. Yeah,

309
00:20:34.119 --> 00:20:37.880
well, it's already good. Yeah. So hey, well, that's good

310
00:20:37.920 --> 00:20:41.079
place to stop and hopefully we'll see
you next time on the Bible guys,
