Exodus 10;3,4 And Moses and Aaron came in to Pharaoh, and said to him, Thus said the LORD God of the Hebrews, How long will you refuse to humble yourself before me? let my people go, that they may serve me. Else, if you refuse to let my people go, behold, to morrow will I bring the locusts into your coast: Exodus 10;6 And they shall fill your houses, and the houses of all your servants, and the houses of all the Egyptians; which neither your fathers, nor your fathers' fathers have seen, since the day that they were on the earth to this day. And he turned himself, and went out from Pharaoh.

And Moses said, We will go with our young and with our old, with our sons and with our daughters, with our flocks and with our herds will we go; for we must hold a feast to the LORD. Exodus 10:10,11 But he said to them, “The Lord be with you, if ever I let you and your little ones go! Look, you have some evil purpose in mind. No! Go, the men among you, and serve the Lord, for that is what you are asking.” And they were driven out from Pharaoh's presence. Exodus 10:20-23 But the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, so that he would not let the children of Israel go. And the LORD said to Moses, Stretch out your hand toward heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness which may be felt. And Moses stretched forth his hand toward heaven; and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days: They saw not one another, neither rose any from his place for three days: but all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings. Exodus 11:3 And the LORD gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians. Moreover the man Moses was very great in the land of Egypt, in the sight of Pharaoh's servants, and in the sight of the people. Exodus 11:4-7 So Moses said, “Thus says the Lord: ‘About midnight I will go out in the midst of Egypt, and every firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sits on his throne, even to the firstborn of the slave girl who is behind the handmill, and all the firstborn of the cattle. There shall be a great cry throughout all the land of Egypt, such as there has never been, nor ever will be again. But not a dog shall growl against any of the people of Israel, either man or beast, that you may know that the Lord makes a distinction between Egypt and Israel. Exodus 11:8 And all these your servants shall come down to me, and bow down themselves to me, saying, Get you out, and all the people that follow you and after that I will go out. And he went out from Pharaoh in a great anger. Exodus 12:1-3 And the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt saying, This month shall be to you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you. Speak you to all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for an house: Exodus 12:7-8 And they shall take of the blood, and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper doorpost of the houses, wherein they shall eat it. And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and unleavened bread; and with bitter herbs they shall eat it. Notes: 2 Exodus 12:13 ‘And the blood shall be a sign for you on the houses where you are. And when I see the blood, I shall pass over you, and let the plague not come on you to destroy you when I smite the land of Mitsrayim. Exodus 12:14 And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and you shall keep it a feast to the LORD throughout your generations; you shall keep it a feast by an ordinance forever. Exodus 12:29,30 And it came to pass, that at midnight the Lord smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto the firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon; and all the firstborn of cattle. And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and all his servants, and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt; for there was not a house where there was not one dead. Exodus 12:43-46 The LORD said to Moses and Aaron, “This is the ordinance of the Passover. No foreigner shall eat of it, but every man’s servant who is bought for money, when you have circumcised him, then shall he eat of it. A foreigner and a hired servant shall not eat of it. In one house shall it be eaten; you shall not carry out anything of the flesh abroad out of the house; neither shall you break a bone of it. Exodus 13:3-5a Then Moses said to the people, “Remember this day in which you came out from Egypt, out of the house of slavery, for by a strong hand the Lord brought you out from this place. No leavened bread shall be eaten. Today, in the month of Abib, you are going out. And when the Lord brings you into the land of the Canaanites, Luke 22:19 And he took bread, and gave thanks, and broke it, and gave to them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me. John 19:31-33 Therefore the Judeans, because it was the Preparation Day, so that the bodies wouldn’t remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a special one), asked of Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away. Therefore the soldiers came, and broke the legs of the first, and of the other who was crucified with him; but when they came to Yeshua, and saw that he was already dead, they didn’t break his legs. John 19:34 However one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out.

  • DO the SIXTY-NINE WEEKS of DANIEL DATE the MESSIANIC MISSION of NEHEMIAH OR JESUS? Leslie Mcfall
    JETS 52/4 (December 2009) 673–718 DO THE SIXTY-NINE WEEKS OF DANIEL DATE THE MESSIANIC MISSION OF NEHEMIAH OR JESUS? leslie mcfall* The pivotal date in the book of Daniel is 536 bc. This date marked the end of the 70 weeks of Dan 9:24 and the start of the 69 weeks of Dan 9:25–26, at the end of which a messiah would appear and Jerusalem would be rebuilt “in troublous times.” The purpose of this article is to show that Nehemiah was the prophesied messiah. He appeared 69 years after Cyrus issued his decree in 536 bc granting the Jews permission “to restore and to rebuild Jerusalem.” The term “messiah,” which means “an anointed one,” was given a new linguistic significance when its Greek form Christos became the supreme way to refer to the second person of the Trinity, Jesus Christ—Jesus Messiah. Almost any leader who was anointed or appointed to his political or spiri- tual office was a “messiah.” So the term had the more mundane meaning of “leader” until Jesus became the supreme leader of Israel by God’s appoint- ment. Therefore, it would be inappropriate to read this later, fully developed significance back into the OT use of the term. Nehemiah was appointed by a foreign power to be governor of Judah (Pecha; Neh 5:14; 12:26; he is also called Tirshatha with control over priestly affairs, Neh 8:9; 10:1), and Cyrus, a foreign king, was appointed by Israel’s God to be his messiah over Israel.1 In a previous article, I concluded that the start of Nehemiah’s appoint- ment as governor of Judah should be redated from the traditional date of 445 to 465 bc.2 We are told that Nehemiah was governor from “the twentieth year even unto the thirty and second year of Artaxerxes the king—twelve years” (Neh 5:14; cf.

  • Having a Basic Understanding of Some Old Testament Truths Part 315 – They Shall Be My People Through Holy to the Lord (Jeremiah 31:1-40)
    Having A Basic Understanding of Some Old Testament Truths Part 315 – They Shall Be My People Through Holy To The Lord (Jeremiah 31:1-40) 1. What was God’s thinking toward His being the Father of Israel during this apostasy? That the apostasy would end. He would restore Israel and His relationship with them: “(1) At the same time, saith the LORD, will I be the God of all the families of Israel, and they shall be my people. (2) Thus saith the LORD, The people which were left of the sword found grace in the wilderness; even Israel, when I went to cause him to rest. (3) The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee. (4) Again I will build thee, and thou shalt be built, O virgin of Israel: thou shalt again be adorned with thy tabrets, and shalt go forth in the dances of them that make merry. (5) Thou shalt yet plant vines upon the mountains of Samaria: the planters shall plant, and shall eat them as common things. (6) For there shall be a day, that the watchmen upon the mount Ephraim shall cry, Arise ye, and let us go up to Zion unto the LORD our God. (7) For thus saith the LORD; Sing with gladness for Jacob, and shout among the chief of the nations: publish ye, praise ye, and say, O LORD, save thy people, the remnant of Israel. (8) Behold, I will bring them from the north country, and gather them from the coasts of the earth, and with them the blind and the lame, the woman with child and her that travaileth with child together: a great company shall return thither.

  • Fredericksburg Address
    Pastor Jeremy M. Thomas Fredericksburg Bible Church 107 East Austin Fredericksburg, Texas 78624 830-997-8834 [email protected] C1331 – September 18, 2013 – Nehemiah 3:1-32 Nehemiah's Rebuilding Effort We’re going to move forward to Nehemiah 3 tonight but to get up to speed last week we saw Nehemiah’s meteoric rise to leadership. He started off as cupbearer to Artaxerxes, the mighty king of Persia but even though he was surrounded by the luxury of palace life he had God’s concerns chiefly in mind; the Jewish people and the Jewish city of Jerusalem. Upon receiving the report that the Jewish people were in reproach and the Jewish city of Jerusalem was in desolation he began to weep and fast and pray for a period of four months. His persistent prayer was a mark of a leader in the making. Nehemiah wanted to rebuild Jerusalem but to do so he would have to go into the king and request a change in his policy toward Jerusalem. The king’s policy at the time was that Jerusalem should not be fortified. To ask him to reverse this policy was therefore an extremely dangerous effort as it would challenge the king’s decision-making abilities. However, after four months of prayer and sadness he could no longer suppress his sadness and when he went in before the king (and the queen) the sadness was detected prompting the king to ask for the reason. Nehemiah revealed it was the condition of Jerusalem, the city of his father’s and then began to tremble.

  • Jeremiah Lamentations
    Notes & Outlines JEREMIAH LAMENTATIONS Dr. J. Vernon McGee JEREMIAH WRITER: Jeremiah, “the prophet of the broken heart” HIS LIFE: His book is partly autobiographical since he gave us so much of his personal history. 1. Born a priest in Anathoth, north of Jerusalem (1:1). 2. Chosen to be a prophet before he was born (1:5). 3. Called to the prophetic office while very young (1:6). 4. Commissioned (1:9, 10). 5. Began his ministry during the reign of King Josiah and was a mourner at his funeral (2 Chronicles 35:25). 6. Forbidden to marry because of the terrible times (16:1-4). 7. Never made a convert, and was rejected by his people (11:18- 21; 12:6; 18:18), hated, beaten, put in stocks (20:1-3), imprisoned (37:11-16), and charged with being a traitor. 8. His message broke his own heart (9:1). 9. Wanted to resign but could not (20:9). 10. He saw the destruction of Jerusalem and the Babylonian captivity, and was permitted to remain in the land by the captain of the Babylonian forces. When the remnant wanted to flee to Egypt, Jeremiah prophesied against it (42:15-43:3), was forced to go with the remnant to Egypt (43:6, 7), and died there. Tradition says that he was stoned by the remnant. HIS PERSONALITY: God chose this man, who had a mother’s heart, a trembling voice, and tear-filled eyes, to deliver a harsh message of judgment. The message that he gave broke his own heart.

  • DISCOURSES on EZEKIEL the SETTER of DATES by Mary M
    DISCOURSES ON EZEKIEL The SETTER OF DATES by Mary M. Bodie “Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly; and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand”—Daniel 12:10 Publisher: Grace Assembly 4660 Zion Ave. San Diego, California 92120 (619) 280-4646 www.graceassemblysandiego.com 1 Preface—by Grace and Glory Publications 1940 For the past year, the Authoress of this book gave very instructive lessons on the writings of Ezekiel. She was profoundly impressed with the number of significant dates, which Ezekiel records. When her findings showed us that the prophet wrote of our day and that we actually appear in his vision of the cherubim, we felt impelled to put these powerful truths before the public. Ezekiel spurs us onto run for the Prize and let no man take our crown. We consider this the most important prophetic utterance today. It is the culminating message. Read it; ponder it; believe it; pass it on. Let us listen for the trumpet blast. Note from Publisher: Grace Assembly is privileged to publish and post this commentary on our Web Site, www.graceassemblysandiego.com. We believe these commentaries rank among the best for Bible students who desire to learn about the Word of God and the Pauline Revelation. These commentaries were written during the early days of the latter rain outpour of God’s Spirit and they continue to provide enlightenment to the reader. These are the original writings of the authors. Grace Assembly has not made any changes or additions to these writings other than format changes for the convenience of the Bible student.

  • Isaiah 2-4, Judgment and Restoration in the Day of the Lord Overview
    Isaiah 2-4 Isaiah 2-4, Judgment and Restoration in the Day of the Lord Overview This section is chiastic, with predictions of Zion's future eminence surrounding descriptions of the people's sin and the resulting judgment. As in 1:21-27, the Lord's punishment is intended to purge the nation so that it can achieve its intended purpose. Each description of judgment is introduced with a command (2:5, 22), how the people should respond to this warning and revelation. Thus we see the same major themes as in ch. 1, themes that will pervade the book: 1. Sin: the nation has violated God's word. 2:6-21; 3:1-4:1 2. Punishment: God's wrath will come upon them for their sin. 2:6-21; 3:1-4:1 3. Command: the Lord expects the people to respond to this revelation by changing their behavior. 2:5, 22. 4. Promise: the Lord promises to restore them to fellowship and blessing. 2:2-4; 4:2-6. Incidentally, the use of poetic parallelism, already evident in ch. 1, is here pervasive, and often provides an important clue for interpretation. Virtually every clause, every assertion is doubled. The importance of this stylistic feature was recognized by Bishop Lowth in 1754, well after the publication of the KJV in 1611, so sometimes they miss the parallelism. 2:1, Heading 2:1 The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.--This introductory formula marks the beginning of a new oracle. It seems unusual to us to “see” a “word.” We might expect him to see a vision or hear a word.

  • Taking Ownership Nehemiah Introduction the Prophet Jeremiah
    Taking Ownership Nehemiah Introduction . The prophet Jeremiah had prophesied that Judah would be taken into captivity by the Babylonians for 70 years Jeremiah 25:8-12 Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts; Because ye have not heard my words, Behold, I will send and take all the families of the north, saith the LORD, and Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will bring them against this land, and against the inhabitants thereof, and against all these nations round about, and will utterly destroy them, and make them an astonishment, and an hissing, and perpetual desolations. Moreover I will take from them the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the sound of the millstones, and the light of the candle. And this whole land shall be a desolation, and an astonishment; and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years. And it shall come to pass, when seventy years are accomplished, that I will punish the king of Babylon, and that nation, saith the LORD, for their iniquity, and the land of the Chaldeans, and will make it perpetual desolations. The Babylonians under Nebuchadnezzar destroyed Jerusalem’s walls, gates and temple in 586 BC (2 Kings 25:1-21) (Daniel is taken to Babylon) . 50 years later after Cyrus the Great, King of Persia conquered Babylon, he allowed 50,000 Jews to return to Jerusalem to rebuild the temple Ezra 1:1-2 Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah might be fulfilled, the LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying, Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, The LORD God of heaven hath given me all the kingdoms of the earth; and he hath charged me to build him an house at Jerusalem, which is in Judah.
