* The Hebrew scriptures contain many truths and
lessons for us today (I Cor. 10: 6, 11).
- Along with the moral teaching, ceremonial
aspects, and matters peculiarly “ hebraic” ,
- there are many types and antitypes.
Moses, for instance, is presented as a type of
Messiah /Christ (anointed one)(cp. Acts 3: 22,
23).
There are manifest similarities observed in
Pharaoh’s four proposals and how the devil
operates. ***

Antitypes: A Key to Understanding Bible Prophecy
Biblical Types and Antitypes
*** A major key to understanding biblical
prophecy is to recognize the relationship
between antitypes and types in the Scriptures.
- This means that an event or a series of events
occurred once, was recorded in the Scriptures,
and then at a later time a similitude of the
event repeats itself, but with different
characters and scene. ***
6

An anti-type is a type or pattern of something that occurs before the
actual event occurs (sometimes incorrectly referred to as
an antitype, which means opposite rather than before).
- In other words, the first event predicts or points prophetically to the
future event. ( The first Exodus & Greater Exodus bfore 6000)
- This is a way for the Creator to give clues and hints about future
events that will come to pass. Those who are ardent students of his
Word and those “who have (spiritual) ears to hear” will pick up on
these clues and be able to have a sense of what the Creator is going
to do at some future date. (ex. Shemitah, sukkot prepraing for the
END TIMES – GREATER EXODUS, Joseph & Reunion w/ brothers) ***
- In this way, those who diligently seek him are rewarded with
understanding or “inside information” about what he is planning to
do in the future.
- At the same time, his divine plans and purposes will be obscured
from those who don’t have a diligent heart to seek him and his truth,
and who could possibly misuse the truth, if they were to discover it,
for selfish purposes if they were to learn it.
7

An anti-type is a type or pattern of something that
occurs before the actual event occurs (sometimes
incorrectly referred to as an antitype, which
means opposite rather than before).
*** Remember that although the events and details of
antitypes and types correlate, they do not match each
other perfectly in every detail. *
- There should, however, be enough similarities between
the two that to the rational and biblically astute mind the
juxtaposition of the two is not a logical stretch.
- Some of these parallels the writers of Scripture tell us
about, while others we must arrive at through our own
diligent and careful analysis of the Scriptures. **
So please stay tuned! ( study highest kind of worship !) 8

PARABLES OF YESHUA
Similarly, the Gospels record that Yeshua explained deep
spiritual truths via parables not to make the meaning clear to
the general public, but rather to obscure it. *
- His teachings were meant to be understood only by those
whom he had called that they might know the mysteries or
secrets of the kingdom of Elohim (Matt 13:10–11; Luke 8:9–10). ****
- For thousands of years, the prophets of the Bible, as well as
biblical students, scholars and sages have understood the
concept of antitypes and types and it has helped them to
understand Bible prophecy and future events. *
***Biblical antitypes are identified in three ways. First, the
Scriptures themselves identify events as being antetypical.
Examples would be: 9

Hebrew H-4912 [mashal] "A metaphorical maxim or adage;
a proverb, a simile, a poem, and a discourse from #4911
[mashal] "An Allegory", a parallel or comparison.
Greek G-3850 [parabole] a symbol, a similitude, a parallel
comparison, a parable, an adage, and a proverb.
the " Hidden Things/Sod level " that make up the greatest
part of the mystery language of the Hebrew prophets of old.
This " Drash Level “
Rom 11:25 For I do not want you to be ignorant of this
mystery (sod), brothers, so that you may not be wise within
yourselves, that hardness in part has happened to Israel until
the fullness of the nations comes in; (Gen. 48:8-19)
10

UNDERSTANDING PARABLES
1 Corinthians 2:7-11
7 But we speak the wisdom of GOD in a mystery, [even] the
hidden[wisdom], which GOD ordained before the world unto our
glory: 8 Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they
known [it], they would not have crucified the Lord of [GOD's] glory.
9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither
have entered into the heart of man, the things which GOD hath
prepared for them that love Him. 10 But GOD hath revealed [them]
unto "Us" by his [Holy] Spirit: for the [Holy] Spirit searcheth all
things, yea, the deep things of GOD.
11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save [unless] the
[natural] spirit of man which is in him? [reveals it] Even so the
[deep hidden] things of GOD knoweth no man, but [except if] the
[Holy] Spirit of GOD [reveals it].
11

UNDERSTANDING PARABLES
The key to understanding . . . . The Eternal's Inspired Word,
doesn't lie in the establishment of systems of "Higher
Learning" or within the walls of theological seminaries, bible
colleges, schools of divinity or churches of man's making.
*** Understanding is imparted by YHVH to those select few
with Spiritual "Ears to Hear, and Eyes to See"; who are, now,
able to unlock the hidden meaning(s) in YHVH's creations
and words. ( PROV.28:19 WITHOUT VISION PEOPLE PERISH)
* The following various forms of parables ["Mashal" in
Hebrew and "Parabole" in Greek] are more than just hints or
glimpses of truth, but a major key to unlocking the hidden
truths through the foolishness of "The Righteousness
Seeking [Holy] Spirit."

Matthew 11:25
At that time Y'Shua answered and said, I thank thee, O Father,
LORD of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things
from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto
babes **** Nang panahong yaon ay sumagot si Jesus at sinabi, Ako'y nagpapasalamat sa iyo, Oh Ama,
Panginoon ng langit at ng lupa, na iyong inilihim ang mga
bagay na ito sa mga pantas at matatalino, at ipinahayag mo
sa mga sanggol:
*** For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with YHVH. For
it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.
1Co 3:19 Sapagka't ang karunungan ng sanglibutang ito ay
kamangmangan sa Dios. Sapagka't nasusulat, Hinuhuli niya
ang marurunong sa kanilang katusuhan: 20 At muli,
Nalalaman ng Panginoon ang pangangatuwiran ng
marurunong, na pawang walang kabuluhan. - 1 Corinthians
3:19 14

1Corinthians 2:14-15
But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of
YHVH: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know
them, because they are spiritually discerned.
But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is
judged of no man.
1Co 2:10 Nguni't ang mga ito ay ipinahayag sa atin ng Dios
sa pamamagitan ng Espiritu; sapagka't nasisiyasat ng
Espiritu ang lahat ng mga bagay, oo, ang malalalim na mga
bagay ng Dios. *
1Co 2:11 Sapagka't sino sa mga tao ang nakakakilala ng
mga bagay ng tao, kundi ang espiritu ng tao, na nasa
kaniya? gayon din naman ang mga bagay ng Dios ay hindi
nakikilala ng sinoman, maliban na ng Espiritu ng Dios.

1Co 2:12 Nguni't ating tinanggap, hindi ang espiritu ng
sanglibutan, kundi ang espiritung mula sa Dios; upang ating mapagkilala ang mga bagay na sa atin ay ibinigay na walang bayad ng Dios.
1Co 2:13 Na ang mga bagay na ito ay atin namang sinasalita, hindi
sa mga salitang itinuturo ng karunungan ng tao, kundi sa itinuturo
ng Espiritu; na iniwawangis natin ang mga bagay na ayon sa
espiritu sa mga pananalitang ayon sa espiritu.
1Co 2:14 Nguni't ang taong ayon sa laman ay hindi tumatanggap
ng mga bagay ng Espiritu ng Dios: sapagka't ang mga ito ay
kamangmangan sa kaniya; at hindi niya nauunawa, sapagka't ang
mga yaon ay sinisiyasat ayon sa espiritu.
1Co 2:15 Nguni't ang sa espiritu ay nagsisiyasat sa lahat ng mga

1Corinthians 1:27
But YHVH hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound
the wise; and YHVH hath chosen the weak things of the world to
confound the things which are mighty;
Matthew 13:13-16 and Acts 28:27
13 Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they
seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they
understand.
14 And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By
hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall
see, and shall not perceive: 15 For this people’s heart is waxed
gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have
closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear
with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should
be converted, and I should heal them. 16 But blessed are your eyes,
for they see: and your ears, for they hear. 19

1Co 1:26 Sapagka't masdan ninyo ang sa inyo'y pagkatawag, mga
kapatid, na hindi ang maraming marurunong ayon sa laman, hindi ang
maraming may kapangyarihan, hindi ang maraming mahal na tao ang
mga tinawag:
1Co 1:27 Kundi pinili ng Dios ang mga bagay na kamangmangan ng
sanglibutan, upang hiyain niya ang mga marurunong; at pinili ng Dios
ang mga bagay na mahihina ng sanglibutan, upang hiyain niya ang
mga bagay na malalakas; ***
1Co 1:28 At ang mga bagay na mababa ng sanglibutan, at ang mga
bagay na hinamak, ang pinili ng Dios, oo at ang mga bagay na walang
halaga upang mawalang halaga ang mga bagay na mahahalaga:
1Co 1:29 Upang walang laman na magmapuri sa harapan ng Dios.
1Co 1:30 Datapuwa't sa kaniya kayo'y nangasa kay Cristo Jesus, na sa
atin ay ginawang karunungang mula sa Dios, at katuwiran at
kabanalan, at katubusan:
1Co 1:31 Na, ayon sa nasusulat, Ang nagmamapuri, ay magmapuri sa
Panginoon. 20

Deuteronomy 29:4 and Romans 11:8
Yet the LORD hath not given you an heart to perceive, and eyes to
see, and ears to hear, unto this day.
Isaiah 6:10
Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and
shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their
ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed.
Jeremiah 5:21
Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding;
which have eyes, and see not; which have ears, and hear not:
Ezekiel 12:2
Son of man, thou dwellest in the midst of a rebellious house,
which have eyes to see, and see not; they have ears to hear, and
hear not: for they are a rebellious house.

***Biblical antitypes are identified in three ways. First, the
Scriptures themselves identify events as being antetypical.
Examples would be:
Note: ante- prefix before, preceding. [Latin, = before]
antedate v. (-ting) 1 precede in time. 2 assign an earlier
than actual date to.
- The life of Moses pointed to Yeshua (Deut 18:15–19; Heb 3:3–6).
- The serpent on the pole pointed to Yeshua’s crucifixion (John
3:14).
- The rock from which the Israelites drank prefigures Yeshua (1 Cor
10:4).
- The manna the Israelites ate prefigures the Word of Elohim or
flesh of Yeshua (John 6:32, 48–51).
- Aaron as the high priest was antetypical of Yeshua’s high
priesthood (Heb 5, 7 and 8).
22

***Biblical antitypes are identified in three ways. First,
the Scriptures themselves identify events as being ante-

- The sacrificial system pointed to Yeshua’s atoning
death on the cross (Heb 9 and 10).
- Jonah in the whale is a prophetic picture of Yeshua’s
death and resurrection (Matt 12:40).
- Melchizedek was an antetype of Yeshua (Heb 7).
- The first exodus (or redemption of Israel out of Egypt)
was prototypical of a second exodus or redemption of

- The Passover lamb was antetypical of Yeshua’s

- Isaac’s near sacrifice and the ram caught in the

- The tabernacle of Moses pointed in all aspects to
the ministry of Yeshua as Savior and Redeemer.

YESHUA SPOKE THAT THE TORAH OF MOSES WAS ABOUT HIM !
HOW AMAZING TO KNOW THAT OUR SAVIOUR WAS THE LIVING TORAH !
John 5:46 Sapagka't kung kayo'y nagsisisampalataya kay
Moises (idiom for the Torah), ay magsisisampalataya kayo
sa akin; sapagka't tungkol sa akin siya'y sumulat.
John 5:47 Nguni't kung hindi kayo nagsisipaniwala sa
kaniyang mga sulat, ay paanong magsisisampalataya kayo
sa aking mga salita?
John 5:46 For if you were believing Moses, you would then
believe Me; for that one wrote concerning Me.
John 5:47 But if you do not believe his writings, how will you
believe My Words?
25

There are Christians who believe that the Torah is no longer
valid for believers and no longer has anything relevant to tell
us. However Jesus himself said that he had not come to
invalidate the Torah, but to fulfill it! He emphasized the
importance of even the smallest letter in the Torah (Matthew
5:17-48). Jesus himself gave us even more commandments
than those contained in the Torah (there are 613
commandments in the Torah and more than a thousand in
the New Testament).
The Torah contains Gods instructions for the whole of
mankind ….
Paul knew and emphasized the importance of the Torah and
the First Testament. In his first letter to the Corinthian church
he explains that the First Testament told us that Jesus would
die for our sins and after three days he would rise from the
dead (1Corinthians 15:3-4). In his second letter to the

In his first letter to the Corinthian church he explains that the First
Testament told us that Yeshua would die for our sins and after three
days he would rise from the dead (1Corinthians 15:3-4).
In his second letter to the Corinthians (2 Corinthians 3:12-18)
Paul talks about being in Christ and reading the Torah (he uses the
expression ‘when Moses is read’). ***
2Co 3:14 But their minds were hardened; for until this very day at
the reading of the old covenant the same veil remains unlifted,
because it is removed in Christ.
2Co 3:15 But to this day whenever Moses is read, a veil lies over
their heart;
2Co 3:16 but whenever a person turns to the Lord, the veil is taken
away.
2Co 3:17 Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord
is, there is liberty.
27

2Co 3:15 But to this day whenever Moses is read, a veil lies over
their heart; **** (moses is read – idiom for the written torah)
2Co 3:16 but whenever a person turns to the Lord, the veil is taken
away.
2Co 3:17 Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord
is, there is liberty.
Knowing Christ removes a sort of veil that made us (and the children
of Israel) blind to what the Spirit of God is saying and doing through
the Torah and the Old Testament (Isaiah 25:7, 2Corinthians 3:14).
When YESHUA opens our eyes, the Spirit of God reveals the glory of
God to us through the Hebrew Bible (the Old Testament).
Paul then describes the powerful effect it has.
As we look into it and study it, it changes us so that we begin to
reflect Gods glory ourselves: “… from glory to glory”...
28

The Jewish sages from antiquity have also identified
antitypes. Examples would be:
- The difficulties surrounding Jacob’s return to the Promised Land
after 20 years of exile in Babylon (under Laban, Gen 31–33) is
antitypical of the difficulties surrounding the return of Jacob’s
descendants to the land of Israel in the last days, which the
Scriptures call “Jacob’s Trouble” (Jer 30:7).
- The life of Joseph prefigured that of a Messiah Son of Joseph, the
Suffering Servant.
- The life of David prefigured that of a Messiah Son of David, the
Conquering King.
- The seven-day week is antetypical of the seven thousand years of
man’s tenure on this earth.
Note: ante- prefix before, preceding. [Latin, = before]
antedate v. (-ting) 1 precede in time. 2 assign an earlier than actual
date to. 29

Finally, Hebrew roots teachers have identified
antitypes in the Scriptures. Examples would be:
- The biblical feasts point to the steps in YHVH’s
plan of salvation for mankind centering around the
first and second comings of Messiah.
- The stages of the biblical wedding point to YHVH’s
plan of salvation for mankind.
- YHVH’s judgments on Egypt point prophetically to
his judgments on Babylon the Great in the last
days.
* In like manner, the story of Joseph’s interacting
with his brothers (starting in Genesis chapter 37
through 46) is antetypical of future events that are
to happen on a national level with the children of
the patriarchs. ( THE EXODUS & END TIMES_) 30

And ‫יהוה‬ said, …“And now, see, the cry of the children of Yisra’ĕl
has come to Me, and I have also seen the oppression with which
the Mitsrites oppress them. “And now, come, I am sending you
to Pharaoh, to bring My people, the children of Yisra’ĕl, out of
Mitsrayim.” And Mosheh said to Elohim, “Who am I that I
should go to Pharaoh, and that I should bring the children of
Yisra’ĕl out of Mitsrayim?” And He said, “Because I am with you.
And this is to you the sign that I have sent you: When you have
brought the people out of Mitsrayim, you are to serve Elohim on
this mountain.” And Mosheh said to Elohim, “See, when I come
to the children of Yisra’ĕl and say to them, ‘The Elohim of your
fathers has sent me to you,’ and they say to me, ‘What is His
Name?’ what shall I say to them?” And Elohim said to Mosheh,
“I am that which I am.” And He said, “Thus you shall say to the
children of Yisra’ĕl, ‘I am has sent me to you.’ ” And Elohim said
further to Mosheh, “Thus you are to say to the children of
Yisra’ĕl, ‘‫יהוה‬ Elohim of your fathers, the Elohim of Aḇraham,
the Elohim of Yitsḥaq, and the Elohim of Yaʽaqoḇ, has sent me to
you. This is My Name forever, and this is My remembrance to all
generations.’ (Exodus 3:7-15) 32

33
the Burning ‫סנה‬ seneh Bush, similar
to ‫סיני‬ seenai Sinai
1,500 years later, when asked in John 8.48-59
how He could see Abraham, ‫ישוע‬answers,
“ Before Abraham was born, I Am ! ”
The Jews understood clearly. They thought that
by calling Himself God’s Name He commits
blasphemy and they attempt to stone him
immediately.
‫ישוע‬ says He is God. Is He telling the truth or is
He lying?

34
God introduces Himself as YHVH to Moses but states that He was
not know to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob as YHVH but El Shaddai or
God Almighty.
What does the Hebrew name El Shaddai reveal in connection with
the Messiah? The character of God in His fullness. Many of us
build idols of what we want God to be but we do not want to see
the fullness of who He is. Yes He is a God of love and mercy BUT
He is also a God of justice and righteousness.
In fact, we see this week that our God is a Warrior God, a
characteristic that most people today refuse to admit and
recognize. ***

YESHUA SAID “Before Abraham was born, I Am ! ” John 8:58
Lord, Liar, or Lunatic? C.S. Lewis described the claims of ‫ישוע‬
to be God as a trilemma. There are three choices, and only
three:
1.‫ישוע‬ told the truth: He is Lord, and worthy of our
worship.
2.‫ישוע‬ lied and knew He was lying: He is a Liar, the greatest
liar who ever lived.
3.‫ישוע‬ lied but didn’t know He was lying: He is a Lunatic
(C.S. Lewis adds: a lunatic on a level with the man who says
that he is a poached egg).
“Good Man” or “Great Prophet” are not logical choices. Each
person must decide for himself or herself who ‫ישוע‬really is.
It’s a choice that matters for eternity. ***
(lashon hara on Yeshua)

Israel had not forgotten Elohim’s name as they have been crying
out to Him. But, Moses supposed that the people would be
sarcastic in their respons.
‫יהוה‬ provides Moses the words of gentile correction; “hayah
asher hayah”, “I shall be as I shall be”. Tell the people, “I shall
be as sent me”.
In other words, “Don’t question Me in that manner. I will be as
I will be. That’s all you need to know. I will be.” (reveal?)
But then, Elohim tells Moses; ..‫יהוה‬ Elohim of your fathers ..So,
‫יהוה‬ His remembrance Name.
The Hebrew word here is “zeker” which means “memorial” or
“remembrance”. Gesenius’ Hebrew-Chaldee lexicon states that it
is “a name by which one is remembered”.
One day, when Mashiach returns to Yerushalayim, and at the
time of the “Great Redemption”, we will know Him by another
name, as we read in . (MESSIANIC PROPHECY)
“See, the days are coming,” declares ‫,יהוה‬ “when I shall raise
for Daviḏ a Branch of righteousness, and a Sovereign shall
reign and act wisely, and shall do right-ruling and
righteousness in the earth. “In His days Yehuḏah shall be saved,
and Yisra’ĕl dwell safely. And this is His Name whereby He shall
be called: ‘‫יהוה‬ our Righteousness.’ ..(Jeremiah 23:5-8)37

His name reveals that His attributes* are limitless.
It appears to be the composite of:
• He was
• He is
• He will be
We find this same description of ‫יהושע‬
“I am the ‘Aleph’ and the ‘Taw’, Beginning and End,” says ‫יהוה‬
“who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”
(Revelation 1:8)
YESHUA IS THE SAME YESTERDAY, TODAY & FOREEVER
*A construct whereby objects or individuals can be
distinguished
An abstraction belonging to or characteristic of an entity
38

And ‫יהוה‬ said to Mosheh, “Now see what I do to Pharaoh, for with
a strong hand he is going to let them go, and with a strong hand
he is going to drive them out of his land.” And Elohim spoke to
Mosheh and said to him, “I am ‫.יהוה‬ “And I appeared to Aḇraham,
to Yitsḥaq, and to Yaʽaqoḇ, as Ěl Shaddai. And by My Name, ‫,יהוה‬
was I not known to them? (Exodus 6:1-3)
This name is used over 6000 times in the Bible!
39

We may ask ourselves, “Why it’s important to study the
names of God? Why not just call Him ‘God’? Surely that is
enough. Or is it?
What’s more, it can be and is used to refer to a variety
of deities by any number of religions.
It’s sort of a generic “no-name” label for any type of
divine being.
By using the true Biblical names of the one true God,
we can all be certain that we are addressing, referring
to, and praying to the LORD God (YHVH Elohim) — God
of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (Israel), and not to some
false god or arbitrary deity.
By knowing His names, we actually know and
understand God better, since each name is a revelation
about the inherent character of God.
40

The Power of YHVH (the LORD)
“Then you call on the name of your god [ ‫ֶם‬‫כ‬‫י‬ ֵ‫ֹלה‬ֱ‫א‬], and I will
call on the name of the LORD [ ‫ָה‬‫ו‬‫ְה‬‫י‬/ YHVH]. The god who
answers by fire—He is God [ ‫ים‬ ִ‫ֹלה‬ֱ‫א‬ ָ‫ה‬/ Elohim].” (1 Kings
18:24)
The ancient prophet, Elijah, demonstrated the power of
calling on the name of God. In his day, 450 prophets in
Israel followed Baal (which means lord or master in Hebrew)
instead of the Lord (YHVH).
Therefore, Elijah challenged Baal to a spiritual duel of sorts
in order to prove that the Lord (YHVH / ‫ָה‬‫ו‬‫ְה‬‫י‬) is God [Elohim]
and that other deities were nothing more than a mere
deception.
Elijah challenged the prophets of Baal to call on the name of
Baal, while he would call on the Lord God of Israel. It was to
be settled once and for all that whoever answered by
sending fire to miraculously consume the sacrifice was the
one true God (Elohim). 41

Elijah soaked the sacrifice with water to dispel any doubt that he had
somehow hidden a fire on the altar.
The water didn’t worry Elijah because he was quite certain that after he
prayed to the Lord God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (Israel), He would send
an all-consuming fire that would burn even a soaked sacrifice. At the time of
sacrifice, the prophet Elijah stepped forward and prayed: “O LORD, the God
of Abraham, Isaac and Israel, let it be known today that you are God in Israel
and that I am your servant and have done all these things at your command.
Answer me, O LORD, answer me, so these people will know that you, OLORD
[YHVH], are God [Elohim], and that you are turning their hearts back
again.” (1 Kings 18:36–37)
When Elijah humbly but boldly called on God by His name, He answered in
such a spectacular fashion that His fire fell and “burned up the sacrifice, the
wood, the stones and the soil, and also licked up the water in the trench.” (1
Kings 18:38)
God’s response to Elijah’s prayer was evidence enough.
All the people watching this duel understood that the Lord God [YHVH
Elohim] was the only God, and they fell down and worshiped Him.

three compound names of God that begin with YHVH
(Please note that this holy name of God is not spoken aloud
in Judaism and Adonai [Lord] is substituted):
YHVH Yireh (The Lord Will Provide),
YHVH Shalom (The Lord Is Peace), and
YHVH Tz’va’ot (The Lord of Hosts).
God has revealed Himself to us in Scripture through His
names. Each name of God tells us more about his
marvelous attributes and wonderful character.
Everything we could ever need or want is found in His Divine
Presence.
“And the LORD said, ‘I will cause all My goodness to pass in
front of you, and I will proclaim My name, the LORD [YHVH],
in your presence. I will have mercy on whom I will have
mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have
compassion.’” (Exodus 33:19)
44

The Lord Will Provide: YHVH Yireh ( ‫ָה‬‫ו‬‫ְה‬‫י‬‫ה‬ ֶ‫א‬ ְ‫ִר‬‫י‬)
“So Abraham called that placeThe LORD Will
Provide [YHVH Yireh]. And to this day it is
said, ‘On the mountain of the LORD it will be
provided.’” (Genesis 22:14)
When we are in need, God reveals Himself
as YHVH Yireh, the One who sees and provides
for our needs.
YHVH Yireh is the name of God that Abraham
used after God provided a ram as a substitute
for the sacrifice of his son Isaac.
45

“And I appeared to Aḇraham, to Yitsḥaq, and to Yaʽaqoḇ, as Ěl Shaddai.
And by My Name, ‫,יהוה‬ was I not known to them? (Exodus 6:3)
We must be careful in how we interpret this verse. It is not saying that
the patriarchs “did not know” His name. For the name ‫יהוה‬ appears
165 times in the book of Genesis. Furthermore, He addresses Himself
by ‫יהוה‬ specifically to both Abraham and Jacob:
• And He said to him, “I am ‫,יהוה‬ who brought you out of Ur of the
Chaldeans, to give you this land to inherit it.” (Genesis 15:7)
• And see, ‫יהוה‬ stood above it and said, “I am ‫יהוה‬ Elohim of Aḇraham
your father and the Elohim of Yitsḥaq. The land on which you are
lying, I give it to you and your seed. (Genesis 28:13)
RASHI: “It is not written here, ‘(My name, ‫)יהוה‬ I did not make known
to them’ but rather ‘(by the name, ‫)יהוה‬ I was not known to them’ –
meaning, I was not recognized by them in my attribute of ‘keeping
faith,’ by reason of which my name is ‘‫’,יהוה‬ namely that I am faithful
to fulfil My word, for I made promises to them but I did not fulfil them
(during their lifetime).”
46

“El Shaddai” literally translates as “El” (Elohim, Mighty One, The
Almighty) “Shaddai” (His Shad, Breast or Nursing is Dai, Enough). El
Shaddai (God the All Sufficient) reveals the maternal quality of God’s
character as nurturer, comforter, and sustainer of life-giving
nourishment, since it relates to the Hebrew word for a woman’s
breast. You could say that in and by His Mightiness He sustains us.
In this revealing of Himself, ‫יהוה‬ is showing the patriarchs, and us, that
as Elohim, (the Name that denotes His Power, Severity and Judgment)
He sustains us and meets our every need, even though He remains
invisible. This revelation of Himself is evident in the creation and
sustaining of all His creation throughout Genesis.
RABBI HIRSCH puts it, “Elohim works in and through Nature. He is the
invisible cause of all that is observable and visible.” The miracles that El
Shaddai did for Abraham, Isaac and Jacob were done in a secret or
hidden way within nature. 47

RAV ELHANAN SAMET: El Shaddai guarantees descendants to the
patriarchs:
• .. ‫יהוה‬ appeared to Aḇram and said to him, “I am Ěl Shaddai – walk
before Me and be perfect. “And I give My covenant between Me and
you, and shall greatly increase you.” (Genesis 17:1-2)
• To Jacob: And Elohim said to him, “I am Ěl Shaddai. Bear fruit and
increase, a nation and a company of nations shall be from you, and
sovereigns come from your body. (Genesis 35:11)
So, ‫יהוה‬ revealed Himself to the fathers as “El Shaddai” and made His
covenant with them, to give the Land of Canaan (Israel), as verse 4 of
Exodus states; “And I also established My covenant with them, to give
them the land of Kenaʽan, the land of their sojournings, in which they
have sojourned. (Exodus 6:4)
The name of ‫יהוה‬ guarantees land for the patriarchs as seen above.
The key to the new revelation of ‫יהוה‬ is that the Almighty is acting on
His promise of the land which will begin by releasing His children from
Egypt, continue with a long and sometimes torturous march, but
guaranteed to end in the Promised Land. 48

‫יהוה‬ is saying that He is revealing Himself, through Moses and great
miracles that defy nature and turn it upside-down, as ‫.יהוה‬ This is a
new revelation in Torah to the world and Pharaoh.
And afterwards Mosheh and Aharon went in and said to Pharaoh,
“Thus said ‫יהוה‬ Elohim of Yisra’ĕl, ‘Let My people go, so that they keep
a festival to Me in the wilderness.’ ” And Pharaoh said, “Who is ‫,יהוה‬
that I should obey His voice to let Yisra’ĕl go? I do not know ‫,יהוה‬ nor
am I going to let Yisra’ĕl go.” (Exodus 5:1-2)
Well, Pharaoh is about to learn of and experience ‫יהוה‬ firsthand. The
Name “‫”יהוה‬ is His “Memorial Name” and it is the name He desires
that all His creation remembers Him by.
The rabbis teach that ‫יהוה‬ denotes His characteristics of “chesed”
(loving-kindness) and “rachamim” (mercies). While ‫יהוה‬ delivers the
Children of Israel from Egypt (bondage and constriction) with great
judgments against Pharaoh, Egypt and their gods, He demonstrates
openly His mercies, kindnesses and love for His chosen. In fact it is in
the midst of this “furnace of affliction” that He chooses Israel as His
precious treasure and shows them the Truth of His Salvation, another
attribute of the Name ‫,יהוה‬ “Eternal Truth”.
49

‫יהוה‬ will answer Moses dilemma with a speech that is awesome in its
literary structure. Nechama Leibowitz points out that it takes the form
of a chiastic structure (Next slide):
Here are some of the extraordinary details of the Hebrew text:
• The first and second halves of the speech each contain exactly 50
Hebrew words
• (B) and (B1) are about the patriarchs
• (C) and (C1) are about the land
• (D) and (D1) are about Egypt and slavery
• The first half is about the past, the second half is about the future
• The first half refers to the Israelites in the third person (them)
• The second half refers to the Israelites in the second person (you)
• I am ‫–יהוה‬ Beginning, centre, and the end of the speech
50

A:“I am ‫.יהוה‬ (6:2)
B: appeared to Aḇraham, to Yitsḥaq, and to Yaʽaqoḇ, as Ěl Shaddai. And by
My Name, ‫,יהוה‬ was I not known to them? (6:3)
C: And I also established My covenant with them, to give them the land
of Kenaʽan, in which they have sojourned. (6:4)
D: And I have also heard the groaning of Yisra’ĕl whom the
Mitsrites are enslaving, and I have remembered My covenant. (6:5)
E: Therefore, to the children of Yisra’ĕl, ‘I am ‫,יהוה‬ (6:6)
D1: and I shall bring you out from under the burdens of the
Mitsrites, and shall deliver you from their enslaving, and shall
redeem you with an outstretched arm, and with great judgments,
and shall take you as My people, and I shall be your Elohim. And
you shall know that I am ‫יהוה‬ your Elohim who is bringing you out
from under the burdens of the Mitsrites. (6:6-7)
C1: ‘And I shall bring you into the land which I swore to give (6:8)
B1: to Aḇraham, to Yitsḥaq, and to Yaʽaqoḇ, to give it to you as an
inheritance.
A1: I am ‫’.יהוה‬ ” (6:8)
51

"Therefore, say to the people of Isra'el: 'I am Adonai. I will free you from
the forced labor of the Egyptians, rescue you from their oppression, and
redeem you with an outstretched arm and with great judgments. I will take
you as my people, and I will be your God. Then you will know that I am
Adonai your God, who freed you from the forced labor of the Egyptians. I
will bring you into the land which I swore to give to Avraham, Yitz'chak and
Ya`akov — I will give it to you as your inheritance. I am Adonai.' " (Exodus
6:6-8 CJB)
The first four “I wills” of Exodus 6:6–7 are central to the Passover (Pesach)
Seder. The four cups in the Passover Seder represent the four I wills that
‫יהוה‬ declares over Israel:
1. “I will bring you out” is represented in the Cup of Sanctification
2. “I will rid you out of their bondage” is represented in the Cup of
Deliverance
3. “I will redeem you” is represented in the Cup of Redemption
4. “I will take you to me” is represented in the Cup of Praise or
Completion. This last cup is marriage language. He is taking Israel to
be his bride. 53

‫יהוה‬ is telling Moses (and us, too!!) to just believe him!
Believe his Word; trust that He is who He says He is. That is
what his covenant name implies: I am who I am, or I will be
what I will be; i.e., I will be your All Sufficient One and will
meet your every need. Redemption involves three things:
1.The exchange of one thing (money or blood) for
something else (the sins of Israel) must occur. This is
expressed in the phrase, “I will redeem you.” Through the
shed blood of the Passover lamb, ‫יהוה‬ redeemed Israel
from the power and penalty of sin, which is death (Ezek
18:4; Rom 6:23, 1 Peter 1:18-19)
2.Redemption involves the use of power to extricate that
which is being redeemed (in this case, Israel) from that
which is holding it captive or enslaved (i.e., the world, sin
and the devil as pictured by Pharaoh and Egypt). This is
expressed in the phrase, “with an outstretched
arm.” (Eph 1:19)
3.Redemption involves judgment upon and or destruction
of the captor. This is expressed in the phrase, “and with
great judgments.”
54

As God had commanded them, Moses and his brother Aaron
(Aharon) returned to Pharaoh over and over again, demanding
that he let God’s people go so that they may serve Him in the
wilderness.
* This whole account of God’s redemption of Israel from Egypt
has a spiritual parallel in our salvation from the kingdom of
darkness, ruled by HaSatan (literally, the Satan) and the
Kingdom of Light, ruled by God.
*** We are delivered through faith in Yeshua, the Passover
Lamb, not simply to walk away and “do our own thing.”
***As it was for the Israelites, the purpose of our freedom is
to serve the living God. ( HOW? BY KEEPING MITZVOT SIGN OF
OUR LOYALTY AND COVENANT FAITHFULLNESS TO HIM)
“For He has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and
brought us into the kingdom of the Son He loves, in whom we
have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.” (Colossians 1:13–
56

The concept of Redeemer is as follows:
• A redeemer is one who frees or delivers another from
difficulty, danger, or bondage, usually by the payment of
a ransom price. In the OT, the redeemer could function in
several ways. He could buy back property (and even
enslaved people) sold under duress (Lev 25:23–32). He
(usually as owner, not as a relative) often redeemed from
dedicated property and firstborn livestock (Lev 27:1–33;
also Exodus 21:28–30).
• Boaz’s function as redeemer for Ruth (Ruth 3:13–4:10) is
well known, as is Job’s resurrection hope in ‫,יהוה‬ his
Redeemer (Job 19:25). ‫יהוה‬
• himself is the Redeemer of Israel, a fact mentioned 18
times—especially by the prophet Isaiah (Ps 78:35; Isa
41:14).
*** In the NT, [Messiah] is viewed as the ultimate
Redeemer, although the Greek word for redeemer is not
used. ‫יהושע‬ gave his life "as a ransom for many" (Mark
10:45). Thus, the apostle Paul speaks of believers as having
"redemption through his blood" (Eph 1:7) (Ibid.).
57

The Renewed Covenant has “I wills” from ‫יהוה‬ as well:
“See, the days are coming,” declares ‫,יהוה‬ “when I shall
make a new covenant with the house of Yisra’ĕl and with
the house of Yehuḏah, not like the covenant I made with
their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to
bring them out of the land of Mitsrayim, My covenant
which they broke, though I was a husband to them,”
declares ‫.יהוה‬ “For this is the covenant I shall make with
the house of Yisra’ĕl after those days, declares ‫:יהוה‬
I shall put My Torah in their inward parts, and write it on
their hearts.
And I shall be their Elohim, and they shall be My people.
“And no longer shall they teach, each one his neighbour,
and each one his brother, saying, ‘Know ‫’,יהוה‬ for they
shall all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest
of them,” declares ‫.יהוה‬
“For I shall forgive their crookedness, and remember their
sin no more.” (Jeremiah 31:31-34)
Please note that each successive covenant ‫יהוה‬ makes
with his people is based on and is an expansion of the
previous covenant/s. ( HAYESOD LESSON 3) 58

“As in the days when you came out of the land of
Mitsrayim, I shall let him see wonders.” (Micah 7:15)
Israel had lost their trust, or never really had it to begin
with. They had stories, remembrances that were
generations removed from conditions they found
themselves in. (2000 Yrs of Greco Roman Influence)
Even with ourselves the stories have be adapted, changed,
“tweaked” for over 2700 years. We lost the truth. Our
forefathers ran from the truth when they went head-long
into idolatry. ***Even the reason for Mashiach’s coming has
been distorted, we have many more layers of confusion
than Israel.
But ‫יהוה‬ remembers His Covenant with our fathers and He
even includes the “mixed multitude” that Moses added to
the Father’s flock. As the prophets repeatedly remind us in
Scripture, He will remember us.
*** Just as the miracles which ‫יהוה‬wrought in Egypt
surrounded the exodus, so too, will the miracles we will
witness in the future be a part of the ultimate Redemption.
EXPECT MIRACLES IN THE YEAR OF THE SHEMITAH ! 59

And Mosheh spoke thus to the children of Yisra’ĕl, but they
did not listen to Mosheh, because of shortness of spirit,
and from hard slavery. (Exodus 6:9)
Exodus 6:9 actually reads the Children of Israel did not
“listen” to Moses because of “shortness” of “spirit” and
“hard” “slavery”. Other English translations say “anguish”
of “spirit” and “hard” “bondage”. But, the Hebrew here is
most interesting. They did not listen to Moses, “Sh‟ma”, or
“hear and do”:
1. Because of “kotzer” (Strong’s #7115) meaning
“impatient”, from the root word katsar which means
“to shorten”. The word used for “spirit” here is “Ruach”
(Strong’s #7307) meaning “spirit” or “breath”.
2. “hard bondage”. The Hebrew word translated here as
“hard” is “kasheh” (Strong’s #7186) meaning “hard” or
“stiff-necked”. Describing the Children of Israel in
Exodus 32:9, 33:3, 33:5, 34:9, Deuteronomy 9:6, 9:13,
31:27 and Judges 2:19. The word “slavery” “abodah”
(Strong’s #5656) meaning “work”, “labour” or “service”.
60

The meanings of Exodus 6:9, reflect also on their attitudes.
According to the DHV (Dyslexic Hebrew Version) it translates;
“And Moshe spoke these words to the Children of Yisra‟el, but
they did not „hear and obey‟ Moshe, because they were
„impatient‟ of „spirit‟ and „stiff-necked‟ in their „service‟.”
This relates both ways. Yes, their service to the Egyptians was
hard. But, they were stiff-necked about leaving it as they lived in
their own homes, in their own community, Goshen (a land of
plenty). Over time, these homes and their city had become their
“prison”.
Psychologists have written a lot about this phenomenon. It’s
very common, also, in long-term hostage situations. The
hostage, while wanting to go free, develops an attachment
to the captor because they come to depend on them for
their daily survival. *** ( IN LOVE WITH THE WORLD-SYSTEM
BONDAGE)

The Hebrew scriptures contain many truths and lessons for us today (I
Cor. 10: 6, 11).
Along with the moral teaching, ceremonial aspects, and , there are
many types and antitypes.
PARALLESIM of OT TANAKH TO NT APOSTOLIC WRITINGS. ( TORAH &
NT CONNECTION)
LESSONS IN LIFES APPLICATION ****
The Blueprint - The TORAH
In order to understand God's plans for the future, to
understand the prophetic books of the Bible and to be able
to interpret them in a biblical way, it is imperative first of all
to understand God's blueprint [1].
*** Without good drawings and plans and detailed
measurements and materials made by a trained architect, it
is impossible to build a house with everything in the right
place, or even to understand at which stage the building
process is.
There are manifest similarities observed in Pharaoh’s four proposals
and how the devil operates. 62

Pharaoh’s four proposals and how Moses responded to
them.
"Go ye, sacrifice to your God in the land" (Ex. 8: 25).
- The plagues of turning the water into blood, frogs, lice, and
flies is when the first proposal is offered.
- Pharaoh like the devil himself cannot be trusted and he is a
brazen liar (cp. John 8: 44, cp. Ex. 8: 8, 15).
* Israel could not offer the needed sacrifices "in the land"
because the land was under the control of Pharaoh and to
have done so would have incurred the Egyptian death
penalty (Ex. 8: 26).
* In other words, Israel could not please Egypt and God at
the same time. Yeshua taught:
"24: No man can serve two masters: for either he will
hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the
one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and
mammon" (Matt. 6).
63

Pharaoh's Proposed Compromises
Surrounded as we are by an increasing multitude of professed
Christians and preachers who seem willing to compromise on
everything except their false doctrines, it seems fitting to
study again the compromises Pharaoh proposed to Moses
and the response of the man of God. After the plagues of
flies, we find in Exodus 8:25, "Then Pharaoh called for Moses
and Aaron, and said, 'Go, sacrifice to your God in the land.'
Moses replied, 'It is not meet so to do; for we shall sacrifice
the abomination of the Egyptians to the Lord our God.'"
*** One cannot but wonder if some of
our present preachers would have said, "That is satisfactory,
for one cannot worship God in terms of laws and
regulations."
Or perhaps we would have heard, "Since worship is simply a
matter of the spirit, the outward form is of no importance.“
GOD KNOWS OUR HEARTS ? ( THAT THE HEART IS WICKED)
64

Pharaoh’s four proposals and how Moses
responded to them.
Addendum 1: The ten plagues are observed in Exodus 7: 20
through 12: 30). These were miracles performed by God and yet
Pharaoh refused to cooperate.
As a result, he suffered a hardened heart.
Notice how we both read that pharaoh hardened his own heart
and God hardened Pharaoh’s heart (Ex. 8: 15; 9: 12).
*** I submit that God then and now hardens our heart by our
refusal to accept His will (cp. Heb. 3: 7-15, cp. 2 Thes. 2: 10-12).
( PASTORS BIBLE TEACHERS WHO REFUSED THET
TORAH ( TEN COMMANDMENTS _ SHABBATH) their
hearts hardened . ( joke: hardening of the arteries –
cholesterol blockage for refusing to keep kashru laws)

responded to them.
If the devil today cannot have complete control, he will
relinquish some control to be able to yet keep man in his
jurisdiction, so to speak. The New Testament is explicit in terms
of no compromise with evil. In fact, not only is such fellowship
forbidden, but rebuke and exposure of such is required (Eph. 5:
10, 11).
• Denominationalism is a system that is offered by the devil,
the modern Pharaoh, in order to allow some religion, but
be able to control it. ***
• Compromise and religious mergence. ( Political control)
• Such is basically the appeal of Pharaoh to Moses.
• Notice Moses’ reply to Pharaoh’s compromise solution:
"27: We will go three days' journey into the wilderness, and
sacrifice to the LORD our God, as he shall command us" (Ex. 8).
"Only ye shall not go very far away" (Ex. 8: 28).
66

For us, the principles taught (By Moses) are very important.
The Devil does not care if we make the supreme sacrifice as
long as we do it on his terms. "Though I bestow all my goods to
feed the poor and though I give my body to be burned" (1
Corinthians 13:3)
***the Devil is pleased as long as it is not done in loving
obedience to God. ***
*** “We all worship the same God, whether we do it your way
or mine" are of the same nature.
***One thing that makes these false doctrines so appealing is
that they are almost true. (too much LIBERTY IN CHURCH)
- One denominational church is almost as good as another,
but none even compare with the LORD’s (Matthew 16:18).
67

responded to them.
Denominationalism is a system that is offered by the devil,
the modern Pharaoh, in order to allow some religion, but be
able to control it.
• Addendum 2:
• The principle of denominationalism is seen in Paul’s
rebuke of the Corinthians (I Cor. 1: 10-13).
Denominationalism, rallying around men and holding to
different doctrines, stands opposed to YESHUA’S prayer
(John 17: 20, 21).
68

*** "we all worship the same God, whether we do it your way
or mine" are of the same nature. ?
Most Protestant and Catholic groups worshipped the same God that
I worship, but I discovered over the years that it is not so.
*** Many in all sorts of groups have invented their own gods, but
have little or no concept of the God of the Bible.
Some have a lenient God -- without reference to our willingness to
obey. Both of these types are now proclaimed by some who call
themselves members of the Lord's church.
Men today have done as the Greeks and Romans of past ages did.
They have made gods in their own image. ( GREEK CULTURE)
*** We must ever be impressed with the truth that whatever
sacrifice, offering or worship we do, must be by the authority of
God and pleasing to Him (John 4:24).
69

• The principle of denominationalism is seen in Paul’s rebuke of the Corinthians (I
Cor. 1: 10-13). Denominationalism, rallying around men and holding to different
doctrines, stands opposed to YESHUA’S prayer (John 17: 20, 21).
Joh 17:17 "Sanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth.
Joh 17:18 "As You sent Me into the world, I also have sent
them into the world.
Joh 17:19 "For their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they
themselves also may be sanctified in truth.
Joh 17:20 "I do not ask on behalf of these alone, but for those
also who believe in Me through their word;
Joh 17:21 that they may all be one; even as You, Father, are in
Me and I in You, that they also may be in Us, so that the world
may believe that You sent Me.
Joh 17:22 "The glory which You have given Me I have given to
them, that they may be one, just as We are one;
Joh 17:23 I in them and You in Me, that they may be
perfected in unity, so that the world may know that You sent
Me, and loved them, even as You have loved Me. 70

Pharaoh’s four proposals and how Moses responded to
them.
Pharaoh attempted to position himself and control Israel to where
they would think they were freed, but he would have them within
his easy reach.
* In other words, Pharaoh offered to grant partial release.
* God today demands all or none. We are commanded to love God
totally; count all things loss for Christ; and be totally dedicated in
mind and body to God (Matt. 22: 37; Phili. 3: 7, 8; Rom. 12: 1, 2).
Some professing Christians have just enough religion to make
them unhappy. They remain within easy reach of the devil and do
not totally refuse him (cp. Jas. 4: 7).
*** Why? It’s the battle of the MIND? (PSCHOLOGY – Know
thyself- GREEK VS KNOW THY GOD WHO CREATED YOURSELF
Pharaoh would have gladly conceded, but Moses steadfastly
refused to compromise.
71

There are those who claim to be Christian parents who
refuse to bring their children up in the nurture and
admonition of the Lord (Ephesians 6:4).
• They reason, "If I make my child attend the services, or
study the Bible, he will grow up and resent the church
and me." Or, "I think a child should make up his own
mind about his religious beliefs.“ (LAW IN USA & U.N.)
• It is probably true that if a child sees his parents sit at
home and never study the Bible nor attend Bible classes,
yet the parent makes the child go, he will resent it.
• But any time the Devil can get a person to leave any of
his relatives behind because of any sort of excuse he may
have, he has accomplished his purpose. Many times I
have heard someone say, "I never discuss the Bible with
my relatives, for they are harder to convert than any
outsider.“ ( MAYBE OVERFAMILIARITY WITH RELATIVES)72

The temptations to be a half-Christian are many, and the
manifestations of trying to do it are on every hand.
This was the condition of the church in Laodicea. God's
reaction to it is vividly suggested in Revelation 3:16, "So
then because thou art lukewarm and neither cold nor
hot, I will spew thee out of my mouth."
It comes in many forms.
There are many connected with the church who are
willing to learn enough to seem religious, but not
enough to change their lives. ( go thru Trials first – no
half cook in God’s Kingdom)
That Yeshua said in Matthew 6:24, "No man can serve
two masters" makes no impression on them.
***Many Bible classes and teachers make no attempt to
probe deeply into a study of God's word, but merely
skim the surface. 73

Pharaoh’s four proposals and how Moses responded to them.
"Go now ye that are men" [but not] "your little ones" (Ex. 10: 8-11).
Pharaoh’s proposal number three involved only releasing the males, but
retaining the women and children. At the time of this third offer, three more
plagues have occurred, murrain, boils, and the hail. Thus, seven in all have
taken place.
* Pharaoh tried to convinced Moses and Aaron that the children were not
important in the worship of God (cp. Ex. 10: 11).
The devil has convinced many today that their children are not to be
included in religious observation. ( EXPLAIN GENERATIONAL CONTINUITY)
Paul wrote:
"4: And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up
in the nurture and admonition of the Lord" (Eph. 6).
Many denominations today provide baby sitting and children’s church for
the young people; thus excluding them from the "real" worship. ***
(STRUCTURE OF LAWS FOR YOUNG & OLD VS RACHIM)
Pharaoh and the devil know that if the women and children can be
excluded, control will continue over the men.
- Such a condition, at best, would result in divided attention and affection.74

"Go now ye that are men" [but not] "your little ones" (Ex. 10: 8-11). Pharaoh’s
proposal number three involved only releasing the males, but retaining the women and
children. * Pharaoh tried to convinced Moses and Aaron that the children were not
important in the worship of God (cp. Ex. 10: 11).
Denominations and all teachers of false doctrine are
motivated by the concept of going, but not going all
the way.
*** It is the basis of the doctrine of salvation by faith
only, or worship according to the dictates of your own
conscience. *** follow your heart??
Peter, who followed afar off (Matthew 26:58) and
subsequently cursed, swore and denied his Lord
should be a warning to all those who are not willing to
go all the way with Christ.
The next compromise is found in Exodus 10:11. "Go
now ye that are men." No doubt he felt that they
would come back if they left their wives and little ones
behind. 75

GENERATIONAL INIQUITY
Exodus 20:5
5 “You shall not worship them or serve them; for I, YHVH your
Elohim, am a jealous Elohim, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on
the children, on the third and the fourth generations of those who
hate Me, 6 but showing lovingkindness to thousands, to those who
love Me and keep My commandments.
*** To hate YHVH means not to choose Him, so those who hate Him
are those who choose not to live for YHVH. ***
Exodus 34:7
7 who keeps lovingkindness for thousands, who forgives iniquity,
transgression and sin; yet He will by no means leave the
guilty unpunished, visiting the iniquity of fathers on the children
and on the grandchildren to the third and fourth generations.”
Leviticus 26:39
39 ‘So those of you who may be left will rot away because of their
iniquity in the lands of your enemies; and also because of the
iniquities of their forefathers they will rot away with them.
( HOLOCAUST in NAZI is classic example)

This phrase is also repeated in various other passages: 1 Kin
21:29; Jer 32:18; Is 14:21; Jer 14:20
Lamentations 5:7
7 Our fathers sinned, and are no more; It is we who
have borne their iniquities.
Lam 5:7 Ang aming mga magulang ay nagkasala at
wala na; At aming pinasan ang kanilang mga
kasamaan.
Two Greek words are used to convey the idea of iniquity.
One is translated as lawlessness and the other as evildoers or
workers of unrighteousness.
Matthew 7:23
23 “And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart
from Me, you who practice lawlessness.’

"Go…only let your flocks and herds be stayed" (Ex. 10: 24).
* Pharaoh’s fourth proposal might appear to have been one that could
have been compromised. Some are even critical of Moses for refusing
this offer. Keep aware that two more of the ten plagues have taken
place, locusts and darkness; thus nine in all.
* While perhaps plausible on the surface, there would have been
serious negative consequences had Moses accepted this offer.
***Leaving their "belongings" in Egypt would have resulted in
a looking back condition.
*** Yeshua reminds us of one who looked back:
"Remember Lot’s wife" (Luke 17: 32). "62: And Yeshua said unto
him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is
fit for the kingdom of God" (Luke 9).
A divided heart has caused many to return to the devil (cp. Hos. 10:
2).
While some compromises may appear relatively innocent, they involve
more that what may appear on the surface. *
THE EVIL AND DANGER OF ANTI- SEMITISM & REPLACEMENT
THEOLOGY
Moses relies thus to this offer: 79

"Go…only let your flocks and herds be stayed" (Ex. 10: 24).
It is a strange and remarkable fact that man will consent to any terms
rather than yield his life in complete submission and total surrender to
the will of God.
The Devil knows this and will do all within his power to get him to
compromise at any or all points along the way.
*** God reveals that He is never satisfied without a complete
surrender.
The rich young ruler would gladly have followed Jesus if he could have
done it on his own terms.
***Only the Lord knows how many have fallen into the snare of
thinking one can keep his business and his religion separate.
( CHURCH AND SECULAR LIVES ARE VIEWED AS INSEPARABLE IN
HEBRAIC WORLDVIEW VS GREEK ___ PHYSICAL SEPARATE FROM
SPIRITUAL ( PLATONIC)
I know the Lord said, "Lay not up for yourselves treasures on the
earth" (Matthew 4:9), but He also said, "He that provides not for his
own has denied the faith and is worse than an infidel" (1 Timothy 5:8).
*** We should be able to learn from the story of Pharaoh
that God does not allow us to compromise with respect to
His commands. 80

"26: Our cattle also shall go with us; there shall not an hoof be left
behind; for thereof must we take to serve the LORD our God; and
we know not with what we must serve the LORD, until we come
thither" (Ex. 10).
The devil just like Pharaoh is often relentless and is willing to
compromise. He is able to make his offers appealing and even
appear fair.
"I should be able to go to the dance, just as long as I do not dance,"
the devil convinces young people.
"A little marijuana will not hurt me," the devil often works by
degrees. *** "I know it will be hard marrying Sam who is not a
Christian and who likes the world, but I can manage and will remain
faithful to God," the devil convinces many women.
*** In the case of the flocks, Israel would need these animals in
their worship. You see, Pharaoh if he succeeds in talking them into
leaving behind their flocks will defeat their worship. ***
The devil will partially let people go today, if he can defeat their
worship to God.
( GREEK WIHOUT HEBRAIC TEACHINGS IS PARTIALLY INCOMPLETE
THEOLOGY & PRACTICE.) *** 81

Conclusion: Through all of the compromises and the refusals offered
by Pharaoh to release Israel, Moses stood firm.
"9: 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 unto the LORD" (Ex. 10).
There will be many compromise offers to not hold staunchly to the
truth (John 8: 32, 4: 24). Some of these concessions may appear
reasonable, but be careful.
In all of these, the devil just like Pharaoh, has designed them to where
he can still reach and control us when he desires. ( MIXED BABYLON)
There must not be absolutely any compromise with the devil (Matt. 6:
24).
*** All such negotiations with the devil will always end in man being
taken advantage of by the devil.
( WHY? LACK OF KNOWLEDGE – CHRISTIAN NEEDS MESSIANIC TORAH
TEACHERS TODAY)
The good news is that Israel was freed and the Egyptian armies were
defeated (Ex. 14ff.).
We, too, can be liberated from the bondage of the devil today, just like
Israel, with God’s help! (Rom. 6: 17, 18.) 82

Exodus in Revelation
Given By: "Glenn D. Blank" On Saturday, April 16, 2011
This month I have been teaching on Revelation, and Passover is now
around the corner.
As Dan Juster has pointed out in his book Revelation: the Passover Key,
there are striking parallels between the events remembered in Exodus
and the foretold in the end-time prophets and Revelation. So, as we
prepare forPesach, let us also prepare for the last days of deliverance,
by telling the story. Exodus 13:8 says, "You shall tell your son on that day,
saying, 'It is because of what the LORD did for me when I came out of
Egypt.'"
Every Passover, we must retell the story of the deliverance of our
ancestors from slavery as our story.
83

In Exodus, an evil Pharaoh arose, seeking to oppress and destroy the children of
Israel. In Revelation, an anti-Messiah will arise, seeking to oppress and destroy the
people of God (both Israel and the believers in Messiah).
In Exodus, God raises up two witnesses (Moses and Aaron) to prophesy against
Pharaoh's power.
In Revelation, God will raise up two witnesses to prophesy against the power of Anti-
Messiah.
In Exodus, plagues fall upon Egypt, demonstrating the power of God to Egypt.
In Revelation, plagues will fall upon the world, demonstrating the power of God to
the world and the gods of this world.
Plague #1: Water is turns into blood. Exodus 7:20-22, "So Moses . lifted up the staff
and struck the water that was in the Nile, in the sight of Pharaoh and in the sight of
his servants, and all the water that was in the Nile was turned to blood. The fish that
were in the Nile died, and the Nile became foul, so that the Egyptians could not drink
water from the Nile."
84

The plague of blood in the Nile was a judgment on the Nile god known
as Hapi, who was as associated with fertility, food and water. With all
that fish rotting, Hapi looked pretty helpless! Similarly, in Revelation 8:8-
9, "The second angel sounded, and something like a great mountain
burning with fire was thrown into the sea; and a third of the sea became
blood, and a third of the creatures which were in the sea and had life,
died."
I don't know about you, but if I saw the sea turning to blood, I would be
reminded of what happened in Egypt. But in the last days, not everyone
will get the message right away, just as they didn't in Egypt. Pharaoh's
magicians tried imitating Moses with their tricks. And in Revelation,
Anti-Messiah's false prophet will seek to deceive many with his false
signs. Revelation 13:14, "And he deceives those who dwell on the earth
because of the signs which it was given him to perform in the presence
of the beast." Just remember, been there, done that!
85

Plague #2: Frogs. Exodus 8:3, "The Nile will swarm with frogs, which will
come up and go into your house and into your bedroom and on your
bed." If you think frogs in your bed is ooey, wait until you see what's in
store in Revelation 16:13, "And I saw coming out of the mouth of the
dragon and out of the mouth of the beast and out of the mouth of the
false prophet, three unclean spirits like frogs." Note that the frogs and
later locusts are unclean spirits that look like frogs. That's a principle for
interpreting Revelation: the plagues are unclean or evil spirits. God
regarded them as unclean spirits in Egypt, too. The plague of frogs was a
judgment on the god Heket, who had the head of a frog and was
worshiped as a god of fertility.
86

Exodus 9:10-12, "It became boils breaking out with sores on man and
beast. The magicians could not stand before Moses because of the boils,
for the boils were on the magicians as well as on all the Egyptians. And
the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he did not listen to them."
From the river the plagues came into their homes and then on their
skin. So in Revelation 16:11, "they cursed the God of heaven because of
their pains and sores, and did not turn from their sinful deeds."
In Exodus, in spite of the awesome signs of God's judgment, Pharaoh
amazingly hardens his heart.
In Revelation, in spite of the awesome signs of God's wrath, many
people will still refuse to repent. (We should not be surprised that many
refuse to repent, for as Yeshua said in Matthew 7:13-14, "wide is the
gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter
through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life,
and only a few find it.")
87

Just as plagues of locusts and darkness fell upon Egypt, so they
appear again in Revelation 9:2-3, "He opened the bottomless pit, and
smoke went up out of the pit, like the smoke of a great furnace; and
the sun and the air were darkened by the smoke of the pit. Then out
of the smoke came locusts upon the earth, and power was given
them, as the scorpions of the earth have power."
In Exodus, the plagues fall upon Egypt, the greatest world power of
that time.
In Revelation, the plague fall upon all the nations of the world which
defy the God of Israel. For just as God judged Egypt for its
mistreatment of the children of Israel, God will judges all the nations
for how they have treated His covenant people Israel. As He says in
Joel 3:2, "I will gather all the nations And bring them down to the
valley of Jehoshaphat. Then I will enter into judgment with them
there On behalf of My people and My inheritance, Israel, Whom they
have scattered among the nations; And they have divided up My
land." 88

Through all these plagues, God makes a distinction between Egypt
and Israel.
Exodus 9:26, "Only in the land of Goshen, where the sons of Israel
were, there was no hail."
In Revelation, God protects His people who have His seal: Revelation
7:3, "Do not harm the land or the sea or the trees until we have
sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads!" The seal of God
is probably not a cross on your neck or even jewelry with the
Messianic seal; it's the Spirit of God living in your heart. As 2
Corinthians 1:22 says, "He put his seal on us, and given us his Spirit in
our hearts as a guarantee for the future."
In response to the seal of God Anti-Messiah demands that the mark
of "666" appear on the rest- the number of man, apart from God. (In
Hebrew numerology 6 is the number of man.)
89

In Exodus, God protects his people in Goshen.
In Revelation 9:4, the demonic locusts will be commanded to harm "only those people who
did not have the seal of God on their foreheads."
In Exodus, the sons of Israel overcame the angel of death by means of the blood of a lamb
on the doorposts of their houses.
In Revelation 12:11 the children of God will overcome Satan "by the blood of the Lamb and
the word of their testimony
In Exodus, the armies of Pharaoh foolishly defy God by coming out to attack Israel.
In Revelation, the armies of the nations will again defy God by making a final assault
against Israel.
In Exodus, God splits he sea to deliver his people.
In Revelation, Messiah will split both the heavens and the earth to deliver his people,
taking them up through the veil between the seen and unseen to be with him for the
wedding of the Lamb.
In Exodus, the armies of Egypt are drowned in the sea.
In Revelation, the armies of anti-Messiah are consumed by nuclear fire.
In Exodus, Moses and Miriam lead Israel in a song of victory and praise to God. In
Revelation, the elders of Israel lead the saints in song after song of glory and praise to the
Lamb. It's glory to God, both in Exodus and Revelation. V'eemru?
Yet there is also grit and gruesomeness, darkness and despair, tears and terror.
90

In Exodus, the children of Israel suffered in bondage until their cries aroused
God's compassion. In the last days, the blood of the saints or kedoshim will
also cry out to God. In Revelation 6:10, "they cried out with a loud voice: 'Lord,
the One who is holy and true, how long until You judge and avenge our blood
from those who live on the earth?'"
A key to ushering in the final victory is the suffering and the blood of
the kedoshim. On the one hand, God distinguishes and protects His people,
sealed by His Spirit. On the other hand, some of His prophets and kedoshim do
willingly suffer for His name's sake.
By identifying with the blood of the Lamb, the trials and even the blood of the
martyrs take on eternal significance and power, filling up the cup of Messiah's
sufferings. Since humanity ceded authority over this world to hasatan, we are
responsible for its devastation. So humanity will shares in the restoration of
this world by sharing in Messiah's suffering-Messiah will call some of His holy
people to take a stand against the spiritual forces of darkness in this world.
91

Hashem does provide protection for His people through the tribulation--the
seal distinguishing them for those afflicted by the locusts and other plagues;
the place of refuge in the wilderness to which the woman representing Israel
flees from the dragon; the calling up rapture of the kedoshim into His presence
at the sound of the seventh shofar, for the glorious wedding with the Lamb.
Yet just as Messiah willingly laid down His life in suffering and death, in order
to fulfill the purpose of God, some of the kedoshim in the last days will
willingly present their testimony to those who hate it, for the sake of some
who will turn and trust in God. I think of my friend and mentor Carol Ann, who
willingly gave her life in intercession the rebirth of faith in Israel and the Islamic
world. I think of Jill Shannon, a Jewish believer to whom the Lord has revealed
her own martyrdom. She was thrilled to see it at first, but when she accepted
her calling and destiny, it transformed her.
.
92

To the martyr-witnesses there is special honor in the judgment of the just.
Revelation 20:4, "And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for
testifying about Yeshua and proclaiming the Word of God, also those who had
not worshipped the beast or its image and had not received the mark on their
foreheads and on their hands. They came to life and ruled with the Messiah for
a thousand years."
Yet even for those of us who are not called so, there will be opportunity to
keep trusting in the faithfulness of God during times of shaking and terror all
around us.
How do you respond to the trembling of earthquakes, to the sudden rush of
tsunamis, to the growing disaster of nuclear reactors spewing radiation into
the air and the sea? How do you respond to suffering in your own body or the
body of someone you love? How do you respond to the voice of the enemy
threatening to overwhelm you, "You're done for!"
.
93

Fear is natural in such circumstances; faith is supernatural.
Will we see with natural eyes only, or with supernatural? God gives us supernatural insight.
As Romans 8:15 says, "For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but
you received the Spirit of adoption, by whom we cry out, "Abba, Father!" Today we can cry
out to Him, "Abba Father," and keep trusting in Him. V'eemru?
At this point, I'd like to share a testimony about what happened to me, just last Shabbat.
Before service began, I was experiencing some fairly intense warfare-this though came into
my head: "The congregation is small and it's going to fold"-just as I am about to leave
Lehigh and go full time. Hasatan is persistent, seeking to distract and if possible discourage
me. I just prayed and worshiped the Lord through it.
But then came four prophecies that spoke directly against these attacks.
First, during the prophecy time, Paul Kofchock opened with a word, "Do not fear. I am with
you. Do not fear." I hope that word spoke to others as well, but it spoke with resonance to
my soul.
.
94

The story of Exodus was written as an example for us: we should re-tell it as if
it were our own story. The story of Revelation was written as a warning and an
encouragement to us: we should ponder it as it were our own future-for it will
be.
In that day, you and I will cry out Abba Father, and keep trusting in Him, so that
we will say, as Job 19:25 says, "I know that my Redeemer lives, and that in the
end he will stand upon the earth. and after my skin has been destroyed, yet in
my flesh I will see God."
In Rev 2:10, Yeshua tells the congregation of Smyrna, "Do not fear what you
are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to cast some of you into prison,
so that you will be tested. and I will give you the crown of life."
That crown is worth waiting for, worth enduring for. V'eemru?
The worship team may come forward. Let's pray..
.
95

Comparing the plagues of the Exodus to the plagues of Revelation is
instructive. What is missing from the Exodus account is a "rapture."
The uncanny resemblance of the plagues of Revelation to the plagues of
Exodus has received the attention of many Bible students. What of course is
missing from Exodus is the so-called "rapture." That should not surprise a real
Bible student though. The so-called "rapture" is not found in Revelation either.
The concept of a "rapture" comes primarily from this passage:
But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have
fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope. For if we believe
that Yeshua died and rose again, even so G-d will bring with Him those who
sleep in Yeshua. For this we say to you by the word of the L-rd, that we who are
alive and remain until the coming of the L-rd will by no means precede those
who are asleep. For the L-rd Himself will descend from heaven with a shout,
with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of G-d. And the dead in
Messiah will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up
together with them in the clouds to meet the L-rd in the air. And thus we shall
always be with the L-rd. Therefore comfort one another with these words. But
concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I should
write to you. For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the L-rd so
comes as a thief in the night. For when they say, "Peace and safety! " then
sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman.
And they shall not escape. But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this
Day should overtake you as a thief.
1Thessalonians 4:13-5:4 97

98
Of course, the mention of a "thief in the night" reminds some of the
passage made popular by the Left Behind series from Matthew 24:
But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of
heaven, but My Father only. But as the days of Noah were, so also will
the coming of the Son of Man be. For as in the days before the flood,
they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until
the day that Noah entered the ark, and did not know until the flood
came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of
Man be. Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken and the
other left. Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken
and the other left. Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour
your L-rd is coming. But know this, that if the master of the house had
known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched and
not allowed his house to be broken into.
Matthew 24:36-43
It all seems pretty obvious to anyone taught in the dispensational
method. To them there is a rapture of believers prior to the "Great
Tribulation." To them, there has to be.

99
Beloved, "rapture theology" is an invention of dispensationalism. It isn't
in Exodus or Revelation. It isn't in Daniel. It isn't in Matthew 24, or even
in 1Thessalonians 4. Oh, to be sure there is a being "caught up" to meet
Messiah, but there is no special extraction of believers prior to Israel
suffering "Jacob's trouble." This teaching is a necessary teaching of
dispensationalism - invented to explain the so-called "Church Age" and
why the Prophets speak not of the "Church" but of "Israel." Perhaps you
know their logic: "G-d had a people, that was Israel... then He switched
to the Church, they were His people... then later, He will take the Church
out of this world, and they He will switch back to Israel - they will be His
people again."
For those that read Tim LeHaye's pabulum, hopefully you actually read
Matthew 24 also and knew that his view of being "left behind" was
exactly backward. Beloved, in the days of Noah, and in the prophecy of
Yeshua, the righteous were not "raptured" or "taken away" - no, it is the
wicked that are taken away. The righteous are the ones "left
behind." Don't take my word for it. Read it again:

100
But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son
of Man be. For as in the days before the flood, they were eating
and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that
Noah entered the ark, and did not know until the flood came
and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of
Man be. Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken and
the other left. Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be
taken and the other left.
Matthew 24:37-41
Remember, in Scripture, the righteous are always left. It is the
wicked that are taken away.
We all know the evil that is called "Replacement Theology."
Dispensationalism seems much more benign. Certainly,
dispensationalists are much more friendlier toward Israel.
Regardless, Dispensationalism is incorrect, and you can always
identify a dispensationalist by asking them about the "Rapture."

101
Take heart, beloved. You have been joined to Israel (Romans 11,
Ephesians 2-3), there is a time of testing that is coming upon the
whole earth. G-d will shelter Israel - not by taking her out of the
world, but by preserving her as an eternal testimony to His
faithfulness.
Consider this: in Exodus, the first three plagues were shared by all
the inhabitants of Egypt, both Israelite and Egyptian. However, the
last seven plagues, the Israelites watched on, as only Egyptians
experienced the plagues. Interesting. Seven plagues... just like
Revelation 15.
Are the righteous "raptured" or "taken away" before the time of
testing - no. The Bible teaches that Israel, and those added to her,
will be preserved in that day.
Parashat Vaera - 'And I appeared' (Exodus 6:2-9:35)

102
But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son
of Man be. For as in the days before the flood, they were eating
and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that
Noah entered the ark, and did not know until the flood came
and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of
Man be. Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken and
the other left. Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be
taken and the other left.

Remember, in Scripture, the righteous are always left. It is the
wicked that are taken away.
We all know the evil that is called "Replacement Theology."
Dispensationalism seems much more benign. Certainly,
dispensationalists are much more friendlier toward Israel.
Regardless, Dispensationalism is incorrect, and you can always
identify a dispensationalist by asking them about the "Rapture."

These are the names of the sons of Lĕwi according to their
generations: Gĕreshon, and Qehath, and Merari. And the
years of the life of Lĕwi were one hundred and thirty-seven.
..And Amram took for himself Yoḵeḇeḏ, his father’s sister, as
wife. And she bore him Aharon and Mosheh. And the years
of the life of Amram were one hundred and thirty-seven.
(Exodus 6:16-20)
Levi (Strong’s #3878) means “joined to” as in “at the heart”.
His sons Gereshon (#1648), meaning “exile”, Qehath (#6955)
meaning “assembly” and Merari (#4847) meaning “bitter
herbs”.
Levi lived 137 years. The gematria of Levi’s lifespan matches
that of the word “matseva” which means “monument”.
Levi (137 years), his tribe is to be a monument for us and for
all time. That he is “joined in heart” to the “exiled
assembly” and eats the “bitter herbs” of our slavery with us.
Here we see a picture of Levi’s destiny to teach Ephraim in
these last days.
104

105
The sons of Gereshon (sons of exile):
• “Libni” (#3845) meaning “white”.
• “Shim‟i” (8096) meaning “renown” or “known”, from “sh‟ma”
meaning “hear and obey”.
The sons of Qehath (the assembly) who lived 133 years;
• “Amram” (#6019) meaning “exalted people”,
• “Yitshar” (#3323 & 3324) meaning “shining oil” or “anointed”,
• “Hebron” (2275) meaning “joining” or “conjunction” and
• “Uzzi‟el” (#5816) meaning “my strength is Elohim”. ..
The numeric value of 133 matches the letters “Nun-Gimmel-Lamed”
which, depending on how they are arranged mean “to stumble” or “to
smite”, “to hide” and “to come out” or “sprout”.
The sons of Merari (bitter herbs), which are;
• “Mahli” (#4249) meaning “sick” and
• “Mushi” (#4187) meaning “yielding” as in “tested and surrendered”

We see in the names of his sons that:
1. The “sons of exile” can (if willing) be made “white” and “known”
by ‫,יהוה‬ if they “hear and obey” Him.
2. The “sons of the assembly” are “exalted people”, “anointed” with
“shining oil” or Ruach HaKodesh, and are “joined” together in
“Elohim, their strength”.
3. That though they “stumbled” and were “smitten” by Elohim and
were “hidden”, they will “come out” and in fact “sprout” as written
in Hosea 2:23; “And I shall sow her for Myself in the earth, and I
shall have compassion on her who had not obtained compassion.
And I shall say to those who were not My people, „You are My
people,‟ while they say, „My Elohim!‟
4. Though the “sons of the bitter herbs” are “sick” from the sin and
slavery, they will be “tried and surrendered” to ‫יהוה‬ and will be
“yielded” vessels to Him.
106

And Mosheh said before ‫,יהוה‬ “See, I am of uncircumcised lips, and why
would Pharaoh listen to me?” (Exodus 6:30)
Twice in this chapter of Exodus, Moses asks why would Pharaoh listen
to him, seeing that he has “uncircumcised lips”. This phrase, “arel
saphah” in the Hebrew, really has two meanings.
1. “arel” means “uncircumcised” or “one who stammers as with a
foreskin over his lips” or
2. “one who has a foreskin on his ears and cannot receive divine
instruction”. This is where the phrase “uncircumcised heart” also
comes from. Now, “saphah” means “speech” or “lip”, as in the
“lip”, “rim” or “border” of a vessel.
‫’יהושע‬s words in Matthew: And calling the crowd near, He said to
them, “Hear and understand: “Not that which goes into the mouth
defiles the man, but that which comes out of the mouth, this defiles the
man.” (Matthew 15:10-11)
If we do not speak the right words we can also be seen a having an
uncircumcised mouth. 107

So ‫יהוה‬ said to Mosheh, “See, I have made you an elohim to Pharaoh,
and Aharon your brother is your prophet. (Exodus 7:1)
Each person has his/her place or grade. In our story, Pharaoh, the
recipient is on the bottom rung. He listens to Aaron, the prophet.
Aaron, the expounder, is called to listen to Moses and speak forth that
which has been given to him. Moses, the lawgiver, stand in the place of
the Almighty, discern His divine will and words, and inform his brother
what he is to say and do.
It would take ten plagues to convince the Pharaoh to send the
Hebrews out of Egypt, which was a polytheistic culture that worshiped
many false gods, including everything from bugs to Pharaoh himself.
Each plague isolated and exposed a false deity as powerless to stop the
work of ‫'יהוה‬s judgment.
108

And ‫יהוה‬ spoke to Mosheh and to Aharon, saying, “When
Pharaoh speaks to you, saying, ‘Show a miracle for yourselves,’ ..
(Exodus 7:8-9)
From verse 9 we learn that this miracle of turning the rod into a
serpent was not meant to be performed at the initiative of Moses or
Aaron, but at the request of Pharaoh. What was the point of this? Was
it to get them to believe in ‫יהוה‬? That hardly makes sense since the
wise men and the magicians of Egypt were able to do the very same
thing although Aaron’s rod swallowed up their rods.
Yet the text indicates that Pharaoh’s heart grew hard and nothing
seemed to come of the episode. We are still left with the question,
“Why would Pharaoh ask for a miracle?” Was he trying to step into
their faith? Or was he hoping to prove his superiority? We must
remember 40 years ago, this was also Moses’s home.
Assuming this was a different Pharaoh, he could possibly have been
like a step-brother to Moses. 109

In the story of Joseph and the dreams of Pharaoh, it was the magicians
who first attempted to interpret Pharaoh’s dreams. There are a lot of
similarities between the two events. The Hebrew has the advantage
over the Egyptian magicians
• Something is swallowed
 Sheaves and cows in Pharaoh’s dreams
 A staff in Aaron’s case
• The situation comes about as a result of Pharaoh’s fears
 The Pharaoh is anxious about his dreams: And it came to be in
the morning that his spirit was moved, and he sent and called for
all the magicians of Mitsrayim and all its wise men. And Pharaoh
related to them his dreams, but there was no one who could
interpret them for Pharaoh. (Genesis 41:8)
 The Pharaoh is worried about the Israelites: and he said to his
people, “See, the people of the children of Yisra’ĕl are more and
stronger than we, ..shall be when fighting befalls us, that they
shall join our enemies and fight against us, and shall go up out of
the land.” (Exodus 1:9-10)
110

What is the point of these parallels? It has been suggested that the
miracles in our Exodus story were not about establishing faith; but just
as the intention of the dreams was to convey a message, so these
miracles would bring a message. And what could it be? Well the
prophet Ezekiel describes Pharaoh as a great serpent, ruling over
everything. The serpent wanted to swallow up the weak, thus picturing
Israel under the bonds of slavery. This is where we see the signs come
into play.
The signs show the TRUE strength and power of the serpent. The rod
in Aaron’s hand is like a dried up stick, but it transforms into a living
being, one capable of confronting Pharaoh, the serpent. The rod is the
people of Israel coming to life! What happens next? Aaron’s rod
swallows up the rods of the Egyptians! The pride and the strength of
the Egyptians will be overtaken! It is a message and a prophecy! The
sons of Israel are destined to overcome the world! And it can happen
in a moment! 111

In the book of Daniel we have a third mention of the Egyptian
magicians versus a Hebrew.
As for these four young men, Elohim gave them knowledge and skill in
all learning and wisdom. And Dani’ĕl had understanding in all visions
and dreams. … And in any word of wisdom and understanding about
which the sovereign examined them, he found them ten times better
than all the magicians, the astrologers, who were in all his reign.
(Daniel 1:17-20)
Daniel interprets the dream of Nebuchadnezzar (Daniel 2:1-3) which is
about four kingdoms, the last one being the Kingdom of Heaven which
will defeat all other kingdoms and rule the world!
“And in the days of these sovereigns the Elah of the heavens shall set
up a reign which shall never be destroyed, nor the reign pass on to
other people – it crushes and puts to an end all these reigns, and it
shall stand forever. (Daniel 2:44)
This is a divine vision. It takes us beyond what we are seeing with our
eyes in this world 112

The Egyptians had the most powerful kingdom in the world. The
Israelites were just a bunch of slaves, disheartened and miserable.
Pharaoh was the great serpent of the world. However, there is a time
that the great serpent is destined to be swallowed up!
And the great dragon was thrown out, that serpent of old, called the
Devil and Satan, who leads all the world astray. He was thrown to the
earth, and his messengers were thrown out with him. (Revelation 12:9)
And he seized the dragon, the serpent of old, who is the Devil and
Satan, and bound him for a thousand years, (Revelation 20:2)
While the signs that Moses was given to perform were a message to
Pharaoh, they also provided the people of Israel with encouragement:
• The sign of the rod – that they would come alive and “swallow up”
Egypt! (Egypt is called “tanniyn” (serpent and crocodile) in Isaiah
51:9, Ezra 29:3 and Ezra 32:2.)
• The sign of the leprous hand – their Elohim could heal any disease
• The sign of the Nile turning to blood – the Nile, also seen as a god,
was the life of Egypt. When it turned to blood, the Egyptians would
have seen it as the death of a god.
113

So Dani’ĕl went to Aryoḵ, whom the sovereign had appointed to
destroy the wise ones of Baḇel. He went and said this to him, “Do not
destroy the wise ones of Baḇel. Bring me in before the sovereign, and I
shall show the interpretation to the sovereign.” (Daniel 2:24)
As a reward to Daniel for his interpretation, he was made a ruler over
Babylon AND placed in charge of all its wise men (including the
magicians). The book of Daniel is filled with prophetic revelation,
including Daniel’s own dreams and visions of future kingdoms, the
tribulation, and the anti-messiah. Daniel may have shared some of
what he learned with the wise men and the magicians? Is there any
evidence of this? How about this story in the Gospels?
And ‫יהושע‬ having been born in Bĕyth Leḥem of Yehuḏah in the days of
Herodes the sovereign, see, Magi from the East came to Yerushalayim,
saying, “Where is He who has been born Sovereign of the Yehuḏim? For
we saw His star in the East and have come to do reverence to Him.”
(Matthew 2:1-2)
Who are the magi? They are astrologers, magicians, or wise men from
the east…that is from Babylon 114

So Mosheh and Aharon went in to Pharaoh, and they did so, as ‫יהוה‬
commanded. And Aharon threw his rod before Pharaoh and before his
servants, and it became a serpent. But Pharaoh also called the wise
men and the practisers of witchcraft. And they, the magicians of
Mitsrayim, also did so with their magic. And they, each one, threw
down his rod, and they became serpents. But the rod of Aharon
swallowed up their rods. (Exodus 7:10-12)
Two different words are used for “serpent” in these verses. First we
see the word “tanniyn”, (Strong’s #8577) used in verses 9, 10 and 12.
Tanniyn is translated as “serpent” or “crocodile”. In verse 15 Torah uses
the word “nachash”. Strong’s translates “nachash” as “serpent” or
“snake”. “Nachash” literally means “shining one” because it resembles
burnished metal. “Nachash” is the root word in “nekhoshet” (bronze or
copper). The Hebrew sources point to the fact that “nachash” is
“serpent” or “shining one” and not snake. Crocodiles were elohim
(mighty ones) in Egypt and the deity of the Nile River. ‫יהוה‬ sent a clear
message to Pharaoh, He would judge the elohim of Mitzrayim and
consume them as Aaron’s rod would consume the false elohim
(serpents) of Pharaoh’s magicians. 115

And Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he did not listen to them, as
‫יהוה‬ had said. ..” And ‫יהוה‬ spoke to Mosheh, “Say to Aharon, ‘Take your
rod and stretch out your hand over the waters of Mitsrayim, over their
streams, over their rivers, over their ponds, and over all their pools of
water, that they become blood. And there shall be blood in all the land
of Mitsrayim, both in wooden and in stone containers.’ ..(Exodus 7:13-
25)
Hapi was the god of the Nile. All the water of the flowing Nile turned
into blood for seven days! It was a supernatural miracle. Note:
Messiah's first miracle was turning water into wine (John 2:1-11). The
waters turned to blood here included the streams and rivers (“nahar”
and “ye‟or” = flowing waters, living waters), the ponds (“agam” =
stagnant waters or “strongholds”) and their pools (“mikvah” =
cleansing waters or “hope”). Reservoirs or “dam” (#1818) refers to
“blood-guilt” for the blood of the Israelite male children shed by them,
as they were thrown into the river (waters). 116

.. I am smiting all your border with frogs. “And the river shall swarm
with frogs, which shall go up and shall come into your house, and into
your bedroom, and on your bed, and into the houses of your servants, ..
and the frogs shall come up on you and on your people and on all your
servants.” ’ ..(Exodus 8:2-5)
The attack of frogs was an attack on Heka (Heqt) the toad goddess,
wife of Khnum who was goddess of the land. Hekawas also the
goddess of resurrection and procreative power. Frogs were
consecrated to Osiris and were the symbol of inspiration. Frogs and
toads were very sacred to the Egyptians. If anyone killed a frog, even
unintentionally, the sin was punishable by death. Frogs represent
unclean or foul spirits, as in Revelation 16:13-14: And I saw coming out
of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out
of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits, as frogs, for
they are spirits of demons, doing signs, which go out to the sovereigns
of the entire world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of
‫יהוה‬ the Almighty. Again, Pharaoh’s magicians duplicated this plague
but could not make it go away. This plague too lasted 7 days. 117
