It emphasizes God's personal relationship with his people and his power in redeeming them from bondage.
Have you ever been subpoenaed to testify in a court of law? If so, describe the circumstances, what happened and how you felt? What prevents us from being effective witnesses? Do we, like the disciples, have concerns or perspectives or priorities that restrict us or distract us from effectively fulfilling our roles as witnesses?
Daniel was taken captive to Babylon along with other young men where they were to be trained and assimilated into Babylonian culture. They were given Babylonian names and fed the king's food, which likely included meat offered to idols. Daniel and his friends refused to eat the king's food or embrace the Babylonian names and lifestyle. God blessed them for their faithfulness by giving them superior understanding over the other trainees. They impressed Nebuchadnezzar with their wisdom and served faithfully until the time of Cyrus, demonstrating that God honors those who honor and remain faithful to Him, even in a foreign land.
This document provides a summary of key events in Genesis chapters 1-3, including:
1) God's creation of life and humanity's innocence while in His presence in the garden.
2) The introduction of sin and death through the temptation of Adam and Eve by the serpent. This results in their banishment from the garden and God's presence.
3) The consequences of the fall, including God's questioning of Adam, Eve, and the serpent, curses placed on them, and clothing Adam and Eve with skins instead of their fig leaves.
This document discusses spiritual warfare against fallen angels and working with God's holy angels. It begins by outlining the biblical rankings of different types of angels such as seraphim, cherubim, thrones, and principalities. It then explains that spiritual warfare involves fighting against the strategies of the devil and his fallen angels while also working with God's holy angels, who are ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation. The document provides details on specific angels like Michael the archangel and Gabriel and describes what the seraphim and cherubim look like based on biblical passages. It emphasizes that angels are not to be worshipped as that is reserved for God alone.
The document discusses the three realms of the supernatural: faith, anointing, and glory. It states that faith is the first realm and portal to the supernatural. Faith is in the person of Jesus Christ and it is the beginning of entry into the supernatural realm. The document explores many Bible passages that discuss faith and how it is necessary to please God and receive his promises. It establishes that the realm of faith centers around believing in Jesus Christ.
Name your Jericho - anxiety, fear, negative thinking, lust, anger, impatience or something else. What walls need to come down, what strongholds of sin need to be destroyed? (2 Cor. 10:4-6) List lessons we can learn from Israel at Jericho that help us understand the abundant life of a Christian?
The document discusses why Christians should study end times prophecy and outlines important end times events according to the Bible. It argues that studying end times prophecy helps obey God's word, teach disciples, and secure salvation. It then summarizes key end times events like the tribulation, rapture, second coming, and judgments. It relates these to current world developments like digital currency and vaccine technology that could enable the mark of the beast. It encourages Christians to share the gospel urgently and remain spiritually watchful as the end times unfold.

Everyone in this chapter sins. Isaac is physically blind, but worse he is blind to the will of God. Esau has sold his birthright and seeks revenge when his brother steals the blessing. Rebekah, knowing the God has decreed Jacob to be blessed, uses her own cunning to accomplish God's purpose. Jacob, is willingly and knowingly complicit in expediting his mother's scheme, supplanting his brother and grasping his father's blessing. Yet, in spite of all this, God's sovereign purpose is fulfilled. Man's sin neither thwarts nor obviates divine providence!
1. Nebuchadnezzar has a troubling dream that disturbs his sleep, but cannot remember the dream. He demands that his wise men tell him both the dream and its interpretation.
2. When the wise men are unable to do so, Nebuchadnezzar sentences them all to death. Daniel asks God for the dream's revelation and interpretation to save the wise men.
3. God reveals the dream to Daniel - an image made of different metals that is destroyed by a stone. Daniel interprets it as different kingdoms that will be destroyed by God's eternal kingdom. Nebuchadnezzar promotes Daniel for revealing the dream.
Israel turned away from God to idol worship many times. God warned them through prophets but they did not listen. Babylon conquered Jerusalem and took Daniel and his friends captive. They were trained in Babylon but refused to eat the king's unclean food or drink wine, instead requesting a vegetarian diet. After 10 days they seemed healthier, so their diet was allowed. They greatly excelled in wisdom above all others. Their secret was purposefully obeying God's laws with his blessing.

Why do you think Rahab is listed among the “heroes” of faith in Hebrews 11? Do you feel that some sins in your past or present are so terrible that they can’t be forgiven or that you are unworthy to serve God? How does Rahab’s story encourage you? What was the emotional state of the people in Jericho? (Josh. 2:9, 11; 6:1) How did this confirm God’s promises in Deut. l:21, 29–31? Read carefully Josh. 2:9–13. What did Rahab know about Israel's history? How long before had the Red Sea been crossed? (Ex. l4). How long before had Sihon and Og been conquered? (Deut. 2:26-3:ll) What did Rahab specifically say she believed about the God of Israel? What is impressive about her faith? Could anyone else in Jericho have come to the same conclusions?

God rewards those who have faith and obey his commands. The document recounts how Daniel and his friends remained faithful to God's commands despite pressure to compromise. They requested a diet only of vegetables and water in place of the king's food and wine. God rewarded their faith and obedience by giving them superior knowledge and allowing them to successfully complete their education under the king's tutelage. Their commitment to God despite temptation demonstrates how faithfulness is compensated by God's favor, wisdom, and success.
The document provides an overview of the Book of Jeremiah in the Bible. It summarizes that Jeremiah prophesied to Israel around 600 BC, warning of coming judgment for their sins but also providing hope of restoration. Unlike Isaiah, Jeremiah's tone was mild and expressed God's sorrow over Israel's actions. The document outlines the key themes and events in Jeremiah's prophecies and ministry.
Gabriel appears to Daniel to help him understand a vision and the future of Daniel's people. Gabriel tells Daniel that he had been fighting with the spiritual forces influencing the king of Persia for three weeks to allow the Jews to return to Jerusalem according to God's word. Michael, another chief prince who is actually Jesus, had come to help Gabriel in this battle. Gabriel then explains to Daniel that he has come to help Daniel understand what will happen to his people in the latter days, as foretold in the visions, and that God wants His people to understand the prophecies in Scripture.

Prayer with Fasting, The Fasted LifestyleButch Yulo
This document discusses prayer and fasting. It begins by recalling Exodus 19 where God appeared to the Israelites on Mount Sinai. It then shows pictures of Mount Sinai today, which is still burnt from God's presence. This establishes that God's glory was real.
It discusses how Jesus taught his disciples to pray to God as their loving Father. This was revolutionary since Jews never addressed God this way. Jesus also taught they could ask the Father for the Holy Spirit. The Lord's Prayer outlines all aspects of life.
The document contrasts prayer as talking to the Father, versus interceding before God as priests. It suggests intercession requires more earnest prayer, as seen in how Paul and others prayed fervently for
This document discusses biblical prophecies about the sanctuary in heaven and the antichrist power that opposes God. It describes how the antichrist power thinks to change God's law and times, and commits spiritual fornication by leading people away from God's truth. It warns that this power will try to enforce false worship and a mark of authority against God's law, but calls God's people to remain faithful to his commandments.
This Bible Study delves into when Joel wrote his prophecies and the themes found in the book.

1. Diez hombres leprosos se acercaron a Jesús pidiendo misericordia. Jesús los sanó y les dijo que fueran a mostrarselos a los sacerdotes.
2. Solo uno de los diez, un samaritano, regresó a agradecer a Jesús después de verse sanado.
3. Jesús preguntó dónde estaban los otros nueve que habían sido sanados y por qué solo este hombre había regresado para darle gracias.
This document contains announcements for various church events as well as the script and notes from a Sunday school lesson on righteousness. The lesson discusses the difference between imputed and imparted righteousness, with imputed righteousness referring to God crediting believers with Christ's righteousness based on faith alone, while imparted righteousness involves God transforming believers from within through His presence to live righteously. Legalism tries to change people from without through rules, but true righteousness comes through God's grace empowering believers and conforming them to His character from within.

This document contains announcements for various church events at the First Baptist Church of Jackson, Mississippi in April 2012. It includes information about a month-long prayer initiative, Maundy Thursday and Easter Sunday services, upcoming Sunday school classes on chronic coughs and for men, a banquet to honor waiters and waitresses, an upcoming "Friend Day" goal of 2,500 people in Sunday school, and a lesson on Philippians 3:20-21 about citizenship in heaven. The lesson discusses how believers though living on earth have their true citizenship in heaven, where their names are recorded, their Savior is, their fellow saints and inheritance await, and their treasure and reward will be found. It encourages thinking daily on Jesus and
Peter had denied knowing Jesus three times but Jesus restored him. After breakfast by the Sea of Galilee, Jesus asked Peter three times if he loved Him, mirroring Peter's three denials. Each time, Peter affirmed his love for Jesus. Jesus then commissioned Peter to minister to others as a shepherd, to "feed my lambs" and "tend my sheep." This conversation showed Jesus' forgiveness and desire to use Peter in ministry despite his failure. It served to redeem Peter from his denials and prepare him for pastoral leadership in the early church.
This document provides commentary on Philippians 1:12-14 from the Bible. It discusses how Paul found greater joy and progress for the gospel through his imprisonment. His imprisonment became well known throughout the Roman guard and encouraged other believers to speak boldly about their faith. The commentary explores various perspectives on how God can use difficult circumstances to advance His kingdom.
The document discusses how believers can maintain spiritual stability through rejoicing in the Lord. It says that knowing God through studying His attributes in Scripture allows Christians to rejoice even during hard times. It also emphasizes having a gentle spirit and remembering that the Lord is near provides stability, encouraging believers not to be anxious but to cast their cares on God through prayer. Maintaining a right view of God's greatness, love, and power enables one to stand firm in their faith.
This document contains notes from a Sunday school lesson on Philippians 3:20-21 about citizenship in heaven and the transformation of the body. It discusses the order of end times events including the rapture, glorification of believers, and the Bema Seat judgment. Believers will be rewarded for their works, deeds, and faithfulness on earth at the Bema Seat. Both rewards and losses are possible depending on one's obedience to God and good works done in His name. Works done with the right motives please God and lead to eternal rewards, though salvation is by grace alone.
Paul warns the Philippians about false teachers known as the "false circumcision" who taught that circumcision and obeying the Law of Moses were necessary for salvation. He describes these false teachers as "dogs" and "evil workers" and urges the Philippians to exercise discernment. True believers rejoice in the Lord, worship in the Spirit of God, and do not put confidence in works or rituals but only in Christ.
This document provides an overview of a sermon given at First Baptist Church in Jackson, Mississippi on December 2nd, 2012. The sermon focuses on examining the name "Yahweh" and what it reveals about God's character based on passages from Exodus 6, 15, and other references. Key points include that Yahweh means "I am who I am" or "I will be what I will be", and shows God to be sovereign, faithful to His promises, and the one true God. The sermon explores how God revealed Himself to the Israelites through delivering them from Egyptian slavery and establishing His covenant with them.
This document discusses who Yahweh is based on passages from the Bible. It argues that Yahweh is Jesus, and provides many Bible verses to support this. Some key points made include:
- Yahweh revealed himself to Moses as "I AM" in the burning bush.
- Passages that speak of Yahweh actually refer to Jesus, such as Isaiah prophesying that every knee will bow to Yahweh, which Paul says will be Jesus.
- Jesus claims the name of Yahweh for himself and says he existed before Abraham as the great I AM.
- The early church baptized in the name of Yahweh or
The document discusses who Yahweh is based on passages from the Bible. It argues that Yahweh revealed himself to Moses as "I AM" and that his name in Hebrew is YHWH, commonly translated as LORD. It provides several passages that identify Jesus as Yahweh, including his preexistence, his role in creation, and passages where he claims equality with God. The document aims to show that Jesus is Yahweh God of the Bible based on biblical evidence.
The document discusses the covenant between God and Abraham. It provides background on the names used for God (YHWH and El Shaddai) and Abraham. The covenant with Abraham occurred in three stages, where God approached Abraham, gave him a command, and made promises. The covenant established God's relationship with Abraham and his descendants. Circumcision was a sign of the covenant but was later replaced by faith, righteousness, and obedience from the heart.
This document discusses the concept of the chosen people in Christianity. It argues that most Christians have lost the true message over the past 2,000 years due to false theology. The author aims to reveal that God's everlasting covenant started with Abraham and his seed, the 12 tribes of Israel, and continues with them today. The book explores the covenant from Abraham historically through the present, focusing on the importance of blood covenants and God working through the descendants of Abraham rather than replacing them. It seeks to correct the misunderstanding that Jews are the only Israelites and expand the perspective on God's salvation plan.
The document discusses God's unfolding plan of redemption outlined in four phases:
1) Kingdom promised (Genesis 1-2)
2) Kingdom pre-figured (Genesis 3-Malachi) fulfilled through Israel
3) Kingdom fulfilled (Matthew-Revelation) fulfilled through Christ
4) Kingdom consummated (Revelation)
It argues that Israel was the provisional, earthly fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham, while Christ brings the perfect, eternal fulfillment as the true "Seed" and heir to the promise. Key covenants and passages relating Abraham's promise to both Israel and Christ are examined.
The document provides an overview of the creation story in Genesis, including key details about Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel, and other biblical figures. It also discusses elements of Judaism like the Torah, Oral Torah, Ten Commandments, and Exodus story. The document aims to explain meanings and context behind names, numbers, and traditions in the biblical texts and Jewish faith.
The document provides an overview of key elements from the Jewish creation story and book of Genesis, including:
- God creates humans in God's image on the 6th day of creation
- God places the first humans in the Garden of Eden

- The names of important biblical figures like Adam, Eve, Cain, and Abel are explained to have meanings in Hebrew
- Moses receives the written Torah and oral Torah from God on Mount Sinai
- The Ten Commandments are listed as the core laws given to Moses by God

- Key events and figures from the Exodus story and giving of the 10 Commandments to Moses are summarized
The UN has recognized Yom Kippur as an official UN holiday. Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, is now added to the list of 11 official UN holidays which include Christmas, Eid al-Fitr, Thanksgiving, and others. No meetings will be held and Jewish employees can observe the holiday without using vacation days. The Israeli ambassador called it the holiest day for Jews and said the UN should have recognized it earlier. Last year 32 countries signed a letter calling for its recognition. Israeli cooperation with the US helped pass the resolution despite opposition from some other UN members. The recognition of Yom Kippur shows the value of justice found in Jewish tradition being recognized globally.
This document provides commentary on Hebrews chapter 4 from three different sources. It discusses how Jesus was fully human and tempted, yet also divine. It aims to reconcile these aspects of Jesus' nature. The chapter can be broken into three sections dealing with entering God's rest. It explains the Israelites' failure to inherit the promised land was due to their unbelief, not God failing to keep His promises. God's unconditional promises to Abraham were on grace, while entrance to Canaan depended on obedience to the conditional Mosaic covenant. The commentary seeks to resolve theological issues around Jesus' humanity and God's faithfulness.
The document provides an overview of key elements of the Jewish creation story and figures from Genesis, including:

- The names of important biblical figures like Adam, Eve and Cain are explained to have meanings in Hebrew related to their roles or attributes
- Issues around interpreting some numbers and time periods mentioned in Exodus literally versus symbolically are discussed
The document provides an overview of key events and themes in books of the Old Testament, including Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, and Numbers. It discusses major events like the creation, fall, flood, exodus from Egypt, giving of the 10 Commandments, and the Israelites' refusal to enter the promised land. It also explains the overall structure and storyline of the Old Testament.
Presented by Pastor Chris. A powerful teaching about the TITLES of Jesus Christ.
You will know in this study that JESUS CHRIST is the name of the one true God!
We say YESHOUAH and not Jesus as it is indicated in almost all the biblical versions because it is the term YESHOUAH which reveals the identity of the Savior . יְשׁוּעָה YESHOUAH means in Hebrew Elohim saves.
This name יְשׁוּעָה YESHOUAH is vital for the salvation of man.
We say YESHOUAH and not Jesus as it is indicated in almost all the biblical versions because it is the term YESHOUAH which reveals the identity of the Savior . יְשׁוּעָה YESHOUAH means in Hebrew Elohim saves.
Names of God (Elohim) from the Bible explained with Bible verses, illustration and meaning translated from Hebrew and Greek. The Bible says there is only one God and his name is Jehovah. I have listed as many names I could find and these are just his characteristics and should not be confused as different names - but just titles of one God. Some of these names may apply to all the entities of the HOLY TRINITY and some may not. Write to me at rheydiance@gmail.com in case of any discrepancies. Let the name of God alone be praised forever and ever, amen.
The document discusses the concept of a "bond servant" or slave in the Bible. It explains that in the Old Testament, a slave could voluntarily become a bond servant for life by declaring their love for their master, wife, and children. Their ear would then be pierced with an awl as a sign they were a slave for life. The document argues that this concept reflects how believers are bond servants of Christ, having given their lives to him completely. It stresses the importance of being humble and obedient like Jesus, who was the ultimate suffering servant and gave his life to fulfill God's will.
God used Joseph and Moses to fulfill His promise to Abraham to make a great nation and be a blessing to all nations. Joseph was sold into slavery in Egypt but rose to a position of power, saving the Egyptians and surrounding nations from famine. Moses was called by God to deliver the Israelites from slavery in Egypt, confronting Pharaoh with ten plagues that demonstrated God's power over the Egyptian gods. The Exodus was meant to show God's saving power and make His name known throughout the earth.

The document discusses prophecies from Isaiah about God restoring the heavens and earth and creating a new Jerusalem without weeping or crying. It then discusses passages from the New Testament about how believers should live in light of these prophecies, looking forward to Christ's appearing and purifying themselves. The document also provides summaries about the characteristics and features of Christ's future millennial kingdom based on passages from Isaiah, Psalms, Ezekiel, Daniel, and Revelation.
The document discusses the future reign of Christ on earth based on passages from Isaiah, Psalms, Ezekiel, and Revelation. It describes the main features of the future millennial kingdom as an earthly kingdom where Christ will reign for 1000 years after His second coming.

This passage from Isaiah 58 discusses God's condemnation of empty worship rituals among his people that are not accompanied by righteous living and care for the oppressed. God explains that true worship requires loosening bonds of wickedness, sharing with the hungry, and clothing the naked. The prophet Isaiah lived during a time of rebuilding after the exile when the temple had been reconstructed but the city walls remained in ruins. God promises blessings of light, guidance, strength, and renewal for those who repent from sin and pursue justice. The sermon references other passages emphasizing that God desires mercy over sacrifice and that true salvation will come through God himself acting as righteous judge and redeemer through the coming Messiah.
This document provides a summary and analysis of Isaiah 58:1-12. It examines God's condemnation of hypocritical worship among his people, who were going through the motions of fasting and prayer but without true repentance or care for the oppressed. God explains that true worship requires acts of justice, mercy, and humility.

This document provides an analysis and commentary on Isaiah 53:1-12. It discusses how this passage prophesies Jesus as the suffering servant who would bear the sins of humanity. Some key points made include: Jewish people historically did not believe Isaiah 53 referred to Jesus as they were expecting a conquering messiah; the passage depicts the servant as having no beauty or majesty and being despised and rejected; it describes how he would bear our sorrows and be wounded for our transgressions so that through his suffering we can be healed. The document analyzes various verses in depth to draw connections between the prophecy and Jesus' life and crucifixion.
The document provides an overview and analysis of Isaiah 49:1-13. It summarizes that:

It discusses Isaiah 46:3-13, focusing on God's care for his people and how he alone is worthy of worship unlike idols.

The class discussed how tragedies can humble us and that God saves those who recognize their need.
God instructs Isaiah to comfort God's people with three messages: 1) God is sovereign and in control, even during difficult times. 2) God will fulfill his purposes, such as forgiving Israel and sending a Redeemer. 3) God will sustain his people, though all humanity is transitory except God's eternal word. The prophecy looks forward to Israel's restoration after the coming exile.
The document provides an overview of a Sunday school lesson on Isaiah 40. It discusses the historical context during Isaiah's time, the message of comfort God instructed Isaiah to provide to Judah facing exile, and how this message still applies today.

It also provides biblical references on God's comfort and plan of salvation through Jesus Christ.
The document provides an overview and summary of Isaiah 34-39 from a sermon given at First Baptist Church in Jackson, Mississippi. It discusses the historical context involving King Hezekiah of Judah rebelling against Assyria, the confrontation with Rabshakeh representing Sennacherib, Hezekiah's prayer to God, and God's response promising to defend Jerusalem for his own sake and for David. Key themes are God hearing and answering prayer, defeating the enemies of his people, and bringing hope and salvation.

Isaiah 31 discusses God's promise to protect Israel and Judah if they trust in Him rather than forming alliances with other nations like Egypt. It warns that those who seek protection from Egypt will be put to shame, as the Egyptians are merely mortal while God is all-powerful. The chapter promises that God will come down to defend Jerusalem from Assyria, represented as a lion, and will shield and deliver His people. It calls the Israelites to repent and return to God to receive His protection.
The document provides an overview and analysis of Isaiah 31. It summarizes that the chapter warns Israel and Judah against forming an alliance with Egypt and relying on Egyptian horses and chariots for protection against Assyria. While Egypt can provide military strength, God promises to protect Jerusalem himself. The chapter exhorts the people to repent from idolatry and return to trusting God for their defense. It prophesies that Assyria will fall not by human hands but by the sword of God in response to their threats against Judah.
God will judge the earth and its inhabitants for their sins and breaking God's covenant. This judgement is described in Isaiah 24-27 and referred to as Isaiah's Apocalypse. However, God also has a plan for salvation and will deliver the remnant of people from the ends of the earth who worship him. Ultimately, God will reign eternally in Jerusalem and provide salvation for all people through his son Jesus Christ.
God will judge the earth and its inhabitants for their sin and breaking of His covenant. Isaiah 24-27 discusses this coming judgement, including how God will devastate the earth and punish both earthly kings and the hosts of heaven. However, it also promises ultimate salvation and a banquet for all people on God's holy mountain when He defeats death. The passage encourages believers that though judgement is coming, God has a plan for hope and salvation through faith in Jesus Christ.
This document provides a summary and analysis of Isaiah 23:1-18. It discusses Tyre's historical relationship with Israel as an important Phoenician seaport city.

A375 Example Taste the taste of the Lord, the taste of the Lord The taste of...franktsao4
It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375

19. *He is much more than
any name or number of
names can express.
20. *Yet the name by which
He makes Himself known
—Yahweh—is
foundational in our
limited understanding of
Him.
21. The name Yahweh stresses
that God is personal,
has always existed,
is the Creator,
is the only God,
is adequate to meet needs,
and does not change.
23. Yahweh Promises
Exodus 6:2-8 HCSB
2 “Then God spoke to
Moses, telling him, “I am
Yahweh.
3 I appeared to Abraham,
Isaac, and Jacob as God
24. Almighty, but I did not
reveal My name Yahweh
to them.
4 I also established My
covenant with them to
give them the land of
Canaan, the land they
25. lived in as foreigners.
5 Furthermore, I have
heard the groaning of the
Israelites, whom the
Egyptians are forcing to
work as slaves, and I
have remembered My
26. covenant.
6 “Therefore tell the
Israelites: I am Yahweh,
and I will deliver you
from the forced labor of
the Egyptians and free
you from slavery to them.
27. I will redeem you with
an outstretched arm and
great acts of judgment.
7 I will take you as My
people, and I will be
your God. You will know
that I am Yahweh your
28. God, Who delivered you
from the forced labor of
the Egyptians.
8 I will bring you to the
land that I swore to give
to Abraham, Isaac, and
Jacob, and I will give it to
29. you as a possession. I am
Yahweh.”
Exodus 6:2-8
30. *Later, as part of the Ten
Commandments in
Exodus 20:7, God
prohibited the misuse of
His name (taking His
name in vain).
31. Exodus 20:7 HCSB
7 “Do not misuse the
name of the Lord your
God, because
the Lord will not leave
anyone unpunished who
misuses His name.”
32. *The Jews came to
consider the name Yahweh
so sacred they would not
use it but substituted the
word Adonai (Lord) for it.
33. *The name Yahweh is
based on the Hebrew verb
“to be” and is a
combination of the
consonants YHWH and
the vowels of the word
Adonai (translated Lord).
36. *The difficulty of arriving
at a definite translation
demonstrates the mystery
God retains for Himself
and the inadequacy of
words to express His
indescribable greatness.
38. Genesis 2:4
4 “These are the records of
the heavens and the earth,
concerning their creation at
the time that the LORD
God made the earth and
the heavens.”
39. *The Amplified Bible uses
the name Yahweh for God
in Exodus 6:3 and calls it :
the redemptive name of
God.
40. *The Holman Christian
Standard Bible uses
"Yahweh" over 50 times.
*The only OT books it
does not appear in are:
Ecclesiastes, the Book of
Esther, and Song of Songs.
41. *The name expresses God’s
exclusiveness and
covenant loyalty.
1 Kings 8:23 NIV
23 “O Lord, God of Israel,
there is no God like You in
heaven above or on earth
42. below—You Who keep
Your covenant of
love with Your servants
who continue
wholeheartedly in Your
way.”
1 Kings 8:23 NIV
43. *It also indicated that God
is not just a superior
power or force but He is a
Person.
44. In the Old Testament, the
name came to describe the
God Who was present to
save and supremely able
to deal with all
circumstances.
45. *In Genesis 17:1, God
identified Himself to
Abram as
“God Almighty,”
Who would establish His
covenant with Abram and
fulfill His promise of a
46. son for Abram and Sarai.
*The Hebrew term
rendered God conveys the
sense of strength, power,
and separateness from
humans.
47. *The word almighty has
the idea of self-sufficiency.
*The patriarchs (“first
fathers”) had known God
primarily as the one and
only true God Who could
and would do what He
48. said He would do and
was to be approached
reverently.
49. *God’s statement that He
had not revealed His
name Yahweh to them
did not mean they were
totally unaware of the
name (see Gen. 15:7).
50. Genesis 15:7
7 “He also said to him, ‘I
am Yahweh Who brought
you from Ur of the
Chaldeans to give you
this land to possess.’”
51. *He likely meant He
related to them in terms of
His power to keep His
promises to Abraham.
*They may have known
the name Yahweh but not
what it revealed about
52. God’s nature.
*In Exodus, He would
relate to His people not
only in terms of might but
also in terms of His
presence with them.
53. Yesterday is the past,
tomorrow is the future,
today is a gift from God,
that’s why we call it the
Present!
54.
55. *In relationship with Him,
they would continue to
learn about His nature as
He made Himself known
to them.
56.
57. *God had established a
covenant with Abraham
and extended it through
Isaac and Jacob, in which
He promised to give them
the land of Canaan.
58.
59.
60. *Canaan lay between the
Mediterranean Sea and
the Jordan River.
*From south to north, it
stretched roughly from
the Brook of Egypt to the
Euphrates River.
61. *In Genesis 17:8, God
promised to give Canaan
to Abraham and his
descendants.
*Abraham, Isaac, Jacob,
and their families had
lived in the land as
63. *In addition to having
established His covenant
with the patriarchs, God
had heard the groaning
of the Israelites as they
toiled in forced labor
under the Egyptians.
64. *That God heard meant
He was attentive to the
Israelites’ plight, implying
an answer of help.
*His statement, “I have
remembered My
covenant,” does not mean
65. the covenant had slipped
His mind, that He had
forgotten.
*Remembered has the
sense of readiness to act.
*God was about to fulfill
His covenant promises.
66. *God directed Moses to
tell the Israelites that
Yahweh—the covenant-
making, covenant-
keeping God—would
rescue them from
Egyptian slavery.
67.
68. *Their forced labor was
about to end.
*By His sovereign power
(outstretched arm) and
mighty acts of judgment
on Egypt, Yahweh would
redeem them from the
69. Egyptians’ iron grip.
*Redeem comes from a
Hebrew term that means
“kinsman redeemer,” the
closest of kin whose
responsibilities included
avenging his kinsman’s
70. death, marrying his
kinsman’s widow to
produce a son to extend
the family name, buying
back land that had been
sold, and freeing his
kinsman from bondage.
71. *That God would act as
the Israelites’ kinsman-
redeemer stressed two
truths:
(1) The relationship
between God and His
people was as close and
73. *The kinsman-redeemer is
also seen in the book of
Ruth where Boaz is the
kinsman-redeemer who
marries Ruth.
*The kinsman-redeemer is
a picture of Jesus Christ!
74.
75.
76. *The exodus of the
Hebrews from Egypt and
their return to the
promised land constitutes
on of the most remarkable
liberations in world
history.
77.
78.
79.
80.
81. *The exodus makes up an
integral part of Biblical
faith in both Testaments.
*There arose a Pharaoh
who knew not Joseph
(Exodus 1:8) and had no
appreciation that Joseph
83. The land of Goshen in
Egypt, was located east of
the Nile River (otherwise
the Israelites would have
had to also cross the Nile
at the time of the Exodus).
84. Goshen was the capital
region and the
agricultural heartland of
the nation.
85. *The geographical
location of the Hebrews
caused additional concern
for this new Pharaoh since
they lived east of Egypt in
Goshen.
86. *Most of Egypt’s enemies
came from the east and
the Pharaoh knew that the
numerous Hebrews might
unite with an enemy that
came from the east.
88. numerous and powerful
than we are.
10 Let us deal shrewdly
with them; otherwise they
will multiply further, and
if war breaks out, they
may join our enemies,
89. fight against us, and leave
the country.”
11 So the Egyptians
assigned taskmasters over
the Israelites to oppress
them with forced labor.
90. 12 But the more they
oppressed them, the more
they multiplied and
spread so that the
Egyptians came to
dread the Israelites.
91. 13 They worked the
Israelites ruthlessly
14 and made their lives
bitter with difficult labor
in brick and mortar and
in all kinds of fieldwork.
93. Exodus 3:11-16
11 “But Moses asked God,
“Who am I that I should
go to Pharaoh and that I
should bring the Israelites
out of Egypt?”
94. 12 He answered, “I will
certainly be with you, and
this will be the sign to you
that I have sent you: when
you bring the people out
of Egypt, you will all
worship God at this
95. mountain.”
13 Then Moses asked God,
“If I go to the Israelites and
say to them: The God of
your fathers has sent me to
you, and they ask me,
‘What is His name?’
96. what should I tell them?”
14 God replied to Moses,
“I AM WHO I AM.
This is what you are to
say to the Israelites: I AM
has sent me to you.”
97. 15 God also said to Moses,
“Say this to the Israelites:
Yahweh, the God of your
fathers, the God of
Abraham, the God of
Isaac, and the God of
Jacob, has sent me to you.
98. This is My name
forever; this is how I am
to be remembered in
every generation.
99. 16 “Go and assemble the
elders of Israel and say to
them: Yahweh, the God of
your fathers, the God of
Abraham, Isaac, and
Jacob, has appeared to me
and said: I have paid close
100. attention to you and to
what has been done to
you in Egypt.”
Exodus 3:11-16
101. Exodus 5:1-2
1 “Later, Moses and
Aaron went in and said to
Pharaoh, “This is what
Yahweh, the God of Israel,
says: Let My people go, so
that they may hold a
102. festival for Me in the
wilderness.”
2 But Pharaoh responded,
“Who is Yahweh that I
should obey Him by
letting Israel go? I do not
know anything about
106. *Each of the ten plaques
corresponded to a god
that the Egyptians
worshiped so God was
showing His absolute
authority over each one of
them.
107.
108.
109. In addition to the death
knell for Egyptian beliefs,
might the plaques have
served another purpose?
The answer is, yes.
Loudly and clearly, the
plagues answered
110. Pharaoh’s question:
“Who is Yahweh?”
*Two conclusions appear
obvious: The plagues
communicated
Yahweh’s sovereignty and
Yahweh’s power.
112. *When the plagues
concluded, Pharaoh had
the answer to his
question,
“Who is Yahweh?”
*The Exodus occurred
about 1446 B.C.
113. *The Exodus, with the
plagues, represent more
than the central event of
the OT.
*They remind subsequent
generations of God’s
sovereignty and power.
114. In delivering the Israelites
from Egyptian slavery,
God would make them
His covenant people.
*The covenant involved
mutual responsibilities:
God would take them as
115. His people.
*The Hebrew word
translated take could have
the ideas of buying,
taking in marriage, and
acquiring for oneself.
116. *God would redeem the
Israelites for relationship
with Him.
*In turn, they would
recognize Him as their
God.
117. “I will be your God”
expressed God’s close
relationship with His
people and His singular
right to them.
*Through His redemptive
activity, the Israelites
118. would know by
experience He was their
covenant God.
*Delivering them from the
forced labor of the
Egyptians would
demonstrate His reality
119. and power as the one true
God.
*It also would stand as
irrefutable historical
evidence of His entering a
covenant with them.
120. *God stressed He would
take the Israelites to
Canaan, the land He had
sworn to give the
patriarchs.
*He would fulfill the
covenant promise to
121. which He referred in
verse 4.
*The Hebrew term
rendered swore is
picturesque.
*It means “lifted up the
hand” as a gesture in
122. affirming an oath.
*God vowed to keep His
word that He would give
Canaan to the Israelites as
a possession.
*For the fourth time in
verses 2-8, God affirmed:
123. “I am Yahweh” (see vv.
2,6,7).
*He is; He is the only God;
and He is the God Who
makes and keeps
covenant promises.
124. *Proverbs 3:5-6 discloses a
foundational truth in
relationship with God.
Under His inspiration, the
writer advised:
5 “Trust in the Lord with
all your heart
125. And do not lean on your
own understanding.
6 In all your
ways acknowledge Him,
And He will make your
paths straight.”
Proverbs 3:5-6 NASB
126. *Faith in the covenant
God—focusing life on
Him—will be met with
His provision for right
living.
*He is present and active
in His people’s lives.
127. We can count on that
Scriptural promise!
*God wants a personal,
covenant relationship
with all people, including
you and me.
128. *His promises to us
demonstrate He wants to
be involved in our lives.
*We discover His
promises by reading and
studying His Word.
130. Exodus 15:1-3
1 “Then Moses and the
Israelites sang this song
to the Lord. They said:
‘I will sing to the Lord,
for He is highly exalted;
He has thrown the horse
131. and its rider into the sea.
2 The Lord is my strength
and my song;
He has become my
salvation.
This is my God, and I
will praise Him,
132. my father’s God, and I
will exalt Him.
3 The Lord is a warrior;
Yahweh is His name.”
Exodus 15:1-3
133. *Pharaoh refused to free
the Israelites, but through
a series of 10 plagues
(blows or strokes) against
the Egyptians, God
effected their release.
134. *Pharaoh and his people
urged the Israelites to
leave; they did so quickly.
*As the Israelites traveled
toward the Red Sea,
Pharaoh had second
thoughts about losing
135. such a large number of
forced laborers.
*He and a large military
contingent pursued the
Israelites, overtaking
them on the Red Sea
shores.
146. Perhaps it would be good to
remember that just as God
cared for His ancient
people, He cares for us
today! David, the Shepherd
King of Israel once declared
-- "This I know, that God is
FOR me." Psalm 56:9
147. *Moses and the Israelites
sang a song to the Lord
(Yahweh).
*With profound relief, joy,
and gratitude, they lifted
their voices in praise to
God for His mighty
148. redemptive act.
*It probably is the oldest
written record of the
exodus event.
*The singers addressed
their hymn to the Lord—
Yahweh, Who had kept
149. His promise to free them
from slavery (see Ex. 6:6).
*The song was about Him,
not them.
“For He is highly exalted”
can be translated “for He
has triumphed
151. The Red Sea’s sweeping
over Pharaoh’s forces
demonstrated Yahweh’s
majestic sovereignty.
152. *Verses 2-3 constitute a
statement concerning
God’s nature.
*The singers celebrated
the Lord (Yah, a
shortened form of
Yahweh) as the Source of
153. their strength (might) and
as their song—either the
reason for or the subject of
their song.
*He had become their
salvation.
154. *Here the term salvation
specifies liberation in a
political or military sense.
*It comes from a word
that means “to make wide
or spacious.”
155. *The term the singers
used presents the idea of
victory God had gained.
*The Israelites enjoyed
freedom or ease because
of God’s work on their
behalf.
156. *He had acted for their
welfare and safety.
*This mighty Deliverer
was the people’s God, the
God the patriarchs
worshiped.

God reflect His strength
or power (see 6:3).
*The sovereign God also
was the covenant,
redeemer God.
158. *The singers depicted God
as a mighty warrior Who
wielded His power to
vanquish His enemies.
*They affirmed that
through the exodus, their
covenant God had given
159. clear evidence of His
sovereign might.
*God keeps every promise
He makes.
*His consistency in doing
so gives us strength and
encouragement.
160. *It provides confidence as
we face the future.
*Our proper response to
His keeping His word is
continuing praise.
162. Exodus 15:11-13
11 “Lord, who is like You
among the gods?
Who is like You, glorious
in holiness,
revered with praises,
performing wonders?
163. 12 You stretched out Your
right hand, and the earth
swallowed them.
13 You will lead the
people You have
redeemed with Your
faithful love;
164. You will guide them to
Your holy dwelling
with Your strength.”
Exodus 15:11-13
165. In verses 4-10, in
picturesque, poetic
language, the joyful song
of praise to Yahweh
chronicled the destruction
of Pharaoh’s army in the
Red Sea.
166.
167. *Throughout the hymn,
the focus is on Yahweh
and His redemptive
action.
*Verse 11 contains two
rhetorical questions
(“Who is like You … ?”)
168. whose expected answers
are “No one!”
*No one among the gods
was like Yahweh.
*He was in a class by
Himself, with no peers.
169. 1 Kings 8:23 NIV
23“O Lord, God of Israel,
there is no God like You
in heaven above or on
earth below—You Who
keep Your covenant of
love
170. with Your servants who
continue wholeheartedly
in Your way.”
1 Kings 8:23 NIV
171. *The Israelites did not
acknowledge other gods’
existence; other nations’
so-called gods were
fictional.
*Yahweh alone is the true,
living God; all other
172. proposed gods were false.
*Only Yahweh is glorious
in holiness.
*The Hebrew term
rendered glorious means
great, high, noble.
173. *It conveys the sense of
unparalleled exaltation.
*The word holiness has
the idea of God’s
separateness, His being
other than human.
174. *He was to be approached
with reverential caution
and praises (recognition
of His awe-inspiring
deeds), for He had
performed wonders
(extraordinary acts).
175. *Yahweh stretched out
His right hand (exerted
His might), and the
Egyptians perished.
*The singers used human
terms to describe God’s
redeeming act for them.
176. *Because most people
were right-handed and
used that hand for
weapons, the phrase right
hand signified strength
and victory.
177.
178. Hebrews 1:3 NIV
3 “The Son is the radiance
of God’s glory and the
exact representation of
His being, sustaining all
things by His powerful
word.
179. After He had provided
purification for sins, He
sat down at the right hand
of the Majesty in heaven.”
Hebrews 1:3 NIV
180.
181. Seated at God's Right
Hand -
has less to do with seating
arrangement and
everything to do with
authority.
182. “My right hand man"
comes from this concept
because if you are at
someone's "right hand",
you are working under
the authority of the one
you represent.
183. We know from many
verses in the New
Testament that Christ is
now seated at the right
hand of God.

Who died, but even more,
has been raised;

hand of God
and intercedes for us.”
185. Ephesians 1:20
20 “He demonstrated this
power in the Messiah by
raising Him from the
dead and seating Him at
His right hand in the
heavens”
186. Once this concept is
established, take a walk
through the Old
Testament and find the
verses that mention God's
right hand.
187. *We know Christ was
with God before His First
Advent on earth.
*Therefore, Christ was
always at God's right
hand.
188. *Since this is the case,
many many verses of the
OT open up to a new
understanding.
*The book of Psalms is
amazingly prophetic!
189. Psalm 20:6
6 “Now I know that the
Lord gives victory to His
anointed; He will answer
him from His holy heaven
with mighty victories
from His right hand.”
191. Psalm 60:5
5 “Save with Your right
hand, and answer me,
so that those You love
may be rescued.”
192. Salvation is through
Christ alone, as there is no
other name under
Heaven, given among
men, by which we must
be saved!
193. Psalm 80:17
17 “Let Your hand be with
the Man at Your right
hand,
with the Son of Man
You have made strong for
Yourself.”
194. Psalm 110:1
1 This is the declaration of
the Lord (Yahweh – God)
to my Lord (Yeshua): “Sit
at My right hand until I
make Your enemies Your
footstool.”
195. Ephesians 1:3
3 “Praise the God and
Father of our Lord Jesus
Christ, Who has blessed
us in Christ with every
spiritual blessing in the
heavens”
197. Revelation 3:20-21

door and knock. If anyone
hears My voice and opens
the door, I will come in to
him and have dinner with
him, and he with Me.
198. 21 The victor: I will give
him the right to sit with
Me on My throne, just as I
also won the victory and
sat down with My Father
on His throne.”
199. *This one verse is
revolutionary in
understanding our FULL
INHERITANCE in Christ.
*We have established that
Christ sat down at the
right hand of God.
200. *This means He has all the
authority of God.
*Christ grants His Church
to sit at His right hand,
thus giving the Church all
the authority of Christ!
*This is amazing.
203. heavenlies, right next to
Christ, Who is right next
to the Father.
*Not even the angels can
boast of that!
204. *When we accept Him, we
become like Him.
*Not "gods", but sons of
God, and co-heirs with
Christ (Romans 8:17).
205.
206. *God exercised His
awesome power to free
His people.
*The words the earth
swallowed them could
refer to the Red Sea’s
rolling over the Egyptians
207. or to their entering Sheol,
the place of the departed
dead.
208. The Israelites expressed
their confidence that
Yahweh, Who had freed
them from slavery, would
continue to lead them
with His faithful love.
209. The Hebrew term
rendered faithful love
almost eludes translation.
It conveys the sense of
God’s covenant loyalty,
His unfailing constancy in
His relationship with the
210. Israelites.
*It has been rendered
“lovingkindness,”
“steadfast love,” and
“mercy.”
*It is the closest OT
equivalent to the NT term
212. *One view is that the
phrase holy dwelling
refers to the future
Jerusalem sanctuary.
*The reference could also
be to Canaan.
213. *The Hebrew term
rendered dwelling means
“meadow” or “pasture”
and then poetically
“home.”
*Thus the whole land of
Canaan, the land God had
214. promised the Israelites,
was the place set apart for
God’s residing in the
midst of His people.
*They had begun their
journey to their home.
215. *Verses 14-17 of the
Israelites’ song rehearses
how God “will … plant”
His people in the land.
*In Hebrew, verses 14-16
can read as presenting the
journey through the
216. wilderness as already
accomplished, and verse
17 pictures the fulfillment
of God’s purpose: to bring
His people to Canaan and
establish them there,
perhaps with specific
217. reference to Jerusalem.
Some interpreters have
suggested references to
Mount Zion and
Solomon’s temple, while
others have opted for the
more general reference to
218. the Israelites’ settling in
the whole land of Canaan.
*Moses and the Israelites’
song concluded with a
resounding affirmation of
God’s absolute rule.
219. *“The Lord” (Yahweh)
would reign as King
“forever and ever” (v. 18).
*Implied was the
Israelites’ submission to
His authority.
220. *They did not always live
up to their covenant
obligation to be God’s
loyal subjects, but they
began with a recognition
of His kingship.
221. *Verse 19 is a narrative
account reemphasizing
God’s making a way
through the sea for the
Israelites.
222. *In response to His
redemptive act, Miriam,
“Aaron’s sister” and a
“prophetess,” led the
women as they played
tambourines and she sang
a song exalting God for
224. *Miriam’s song reflects
the words Moses and the
people sang in verse 1.
*In ancient times, women
often went out to greet
returning victorious
warriors, singing and
226. *In the hymn, “How Great
Thou Art,” the writer
began stanza one by
addressing God in
wonder, then he reflected
on God’s creative power
and His displays of that
227. power in the universe.
*When the writer did so,
he exulted into song much
as the Israelites did.
*Then he repeated the
words for emphasis.
