- And there were the egyptians," what do the egyptians represent?
- 00:05:11.964 --> 00:05:14.267
- What do the egyptians represent? something more powerful
- 00:05:14.334 --> 00:05:14.901
- Something more powerful than them,
- 00:05:14.967 --> 00:05:16.569
- Than them, it represents their past
- 00:05:16.636 --> 00:05:17.470
- It represents their past and really it represents
- 00:05:17.537 --> 00:05:18.738
- And really it represents their way of life.
- 00:05:18.805 --> 00:05:20.907
- Their way of life. all that they've known.
- 00:05:20.973 --> 00:05:21.641
- All that they've known. it also represents
- 00:05:21.708 --> 00:05:22.308
- It also represents that provision
- 00:05:22.375 --> 00:05:23.276
- That provision that they've grown accustomed
- 00:05:23.343 --> 00:05:24.043
- That they've grown accustomed to receiving,
- 00:05:24.110 --> 00:05:26.612
- To receiving, but now what they used
- 00:05:26.679 --> 00:05:28.581
- But now what they used to depend on is chasing them.
- 00:05:28.648 --> 00:05:31.050
- To depend on is chasing them. all they can see in front
- 00:05:31.117 --> 00:05:32.085
- All they can see in front of them is a red sea.
- 00:05:32.151 --> 00:05:35.254
- Of them is a red sea. remember i told you,
- 00:05:35.321 --> 00:05:36.689
- Remember i told you, this is not a creek.
- 00:05:36.756 --> 00:05:39.759
- This is not a creek. mm-mmm.
- 00:05:39.826 --> 00:05:41.627
- Mm-mmm. you can't doggie paddle
- 00:05:41.694 --> 00:05:42.862
- You can't doggie paddle through this.
- 00:05:42.929 --> 00:05:43.963
- Through this. and let me be clear,
- 00:05:44.030 --> 00:05:47.300
- And let me be clear, some of you are there right now.
- 00:05:47.367 --> 00:05:50.303
- Some of you are there right now. the red sea
- 00:05:50.370 --> 00:05:50.703
- The red sea can represent anything.
- 00:05:50.770 --> 00:05:51.704
- Can represent anything. i know some people think
- 00:05:51.771 --> 00:05:52.605
- I know some people think that the bible
- 00:05:52.672 --> 00:05:53.106
- That the bible is mainly a history book,
- 00:05:53.172 --> 00:05:54.307
- Is mainly a history book, i don't think that.
- 00:05:54.374 --> 00:05:56.042
- I don't think that. i think that the bible
- 00:05:56.109 --> 00:05:57.176
- I think that the bible uses history to teach theology.
- 00:05:57.243 --> 00:06:01.414
- Uses history to teach theology. and so it uses the example
- 00:06:01.481 --> 00:06:03.383
- And so it uses the example of a body of water
- 00:06:03.449 --> 00:06:04.584
- Of a body of water to get me to think about things
- 00:06:04.650 --> 00:06:06.686
- To get me to think about things in my life
- 00:06:06.753 --> 00:06:07.286
- In my life that i'm looking at going,
- 00:06:07.353 --> 00:06:08.388
- That i'm looking at going, "i don't see how.
- 00:06:08.454 --> 00:06:10.757
- "i don't see how. i just really don't see how.
- 00:06:10.823 --> 00:06:13.493
- I just really don't see how. i just --
- 00:06:13.559 --> 00:06:14.727
- I just -- i was excited,
- 00:06:14.794 --> 00:06:15.161

- I thought i was ready, i was ready for the promise land
- 00:06:28.975 --> 00:06:31.444
- I was ready for the promise land but i was not ready
- 00:06:31.511 --> 00:06:32.412
- But i was not ready for this red sea.
- 00:06:32.478 --> 00:06:34.814
- For this red sea. i was not ready!
- 00:06:34.881 --> 00:06:36.449

- They were like, "growing old is not for wimps."
- 00:06:40.052 --> 00:06:42.622
- "growing old is not for wimps." i just didn't know i.
- 00:06:42.688 --> 00:06:43.890
- I just didn't know i. i thought i was ready
- 00:06:43.956 --> 00:06:44.924
- I thought i was ready to age gracefully.
- 00:06:44.991 --> 00:06:46.492
- To age gracefully. i always said,
- 00:06:46.559 --> 00:06:46.959
- I always said, "i won't be this kind
- 00:06:47.026 --> 00:06:47.860
- "i won't be this kind of person, i won't be
- 00:06:47.927 --> 00:06:48.761
- Of person, i won't be that kind of person."
- 00:06:48.828 --> 00:06:49.729
- That kind of person." i thought i was ready,
- 00:06:49.796 --> 00:06:51.931
- I thought i was ready, and i was ready in a sense
- 00:06:51.998 --> 00:06:53.499
- And i was ready in a sense but i wasn't ready
- 00:06:53.566 --> 00:06:55.568
- But i wasn't ready for this barrier,

- I wasn't ready for this test.
- 00:06:57.437 --> 00:06:59.105

- 00:06:59.872 --> 00:07:00.540
- That you do when you come up
- 00:07:00.606 --> 00:07:01.407
- When you come up on something
- 00:07:01.474 --> 00:07:01.974
- On something that you are not ready for,
- 00:07:02.041 --> 00:07:03.609
- That you are not ready for, not ready at all,
- 00:07:03.676 --> 00:07:04.677

- No vehicle to get you across
- 00:07:11.317 --> 00:07:11.951
- To get you across and god said,
- 00:07:12.018 --> 00:07:13.419
- And god said, "you been feeling
- 00:07:13.486 --> 00:07:14.053
- "you been feeling that way lately."
- 00:07:14.120 --> 00:07:15.221
- That way lately." i don't know who you are,

- I don't know who you are, i don't care if it's three
- 00:07:16.088 --> 00:07:16.889
- I don't care if it's three of you or 30,000
- 00:07:16.956 --> 00:07:18.791
- But god said you're standing
- 00:07:18.891 --> 00:07:20.026
- But god said you're standing in front of it right now
- 00:07:20.092 --> 00:07:21.594
- In front of it right now and it's what stands

- Between you and freedom. and god's gonna get his glory
- 00:07:28.601 --> 00:07:32.038
- And god's gonna get his glory as you go through.
- 00:07:32.104 --> 00:07:34.507
- [clapping]
- 00:07:34.607 --> 00:07:38.211
- [clapping] as you go through.
- 00:07:38.277 --> 00:07:42.215
- As you go through. so now the word
- 00:07:42.281 --> 00:07:43.382
- So now the word gets really deep
- 00:07:43.449 --> 00:07:45.117
- Gets really deep because it says, "as pharaoh
- 00:07:45.184 --> 00:07:48.221
- Because it says, "as pharaoh was approaching them
- 00:07:48.287 --> 00:07:48.688
- Was approaching them from behind, the people
- 00:07:48.754 --> 00:07:49.489
- From behind, the people turned to moses and say,"
- 00:07:49.555 --> 00:07:50.890
- Turned to moses and say," verse 11: "was it because
- 00:07:50.957 --> 00:07:52.425
- Verse 11: "was it because there were no graves in egypt
- 00:07:52.492 --> 00:07:54.260
- There were no graves in egypt that you brought us
- 00:07:54.327 --> 00:07:55.094
- That you brought us to the desert to die?"
- 00:07:55.161 --> 00:07:56.062
- To the desert to die?" watch them put their faith
- 00:07:56.128 --> 00:07:57.430
- Watch them put their faith in reverse.
- 00:07:57.497 --> 00:08:00.800
- In reverse. "what have you done to us
- 00:08:00.867 --> 00:08:02.935
- "what have you done to us by bringing us
- 00:08:03.002 --> 00:08:04.437
- By bringing us up out of egypt?"
- 00:08:04.504 --> 00:08:09.041
- Up out of egypt?" they are barely out
- 00:08:09.108 --> 00:08:09.876
- They are barely out of the parking lot, church.
- 00:08:09.942 --> 00:08:12.578
- Of the parking lot, church. they are barely out of egypt.
- 00:08:12.645 --> 00:08:16.749
- They are barely out of egypt. they are barely used
- 00:08:16.816 --> 00:08:18.217
- They are barely used to the idea or the concept
- 00:08:18.284 --> 00:08:19.819
- To the idea or the concept that they are a mighty nation
- 00:08:19.886 --> 00:08:22.421
- That they are a mighty nation and the car cuts off.
- 00:08:22.488 --> 00:08:25.324
- And the car cuts off. the first thing
- 00:08:25.391 --> 00:08:26.058
- The first thing they do is to blame,
- 00:08:26.125 --> 00:08:27.793
- They do is to blame, the first thing they do
- 00:08:27.860 --> 00:08:28.661
- The first thing they do is to shift responsibility,
- 00:08:28.728 --> 00:08:29.829
- Is to shift responsibility, the first thing they do --
- 00:08:29.896 --> 00:08:31.130
- The first thing they do -- and we can understand it
- 00:08:31.197 --> 00:08:32.698
- And we can understand it is to want to return
- 00:08:32.765 --> 00:08:33.799
- Is to want to return to what wasn't even working
- 00:08:33.866 --> 00:08:35.268
- To what wasn't even working in the first place.
- 00:08:35.334 --> 00:08:37.537
- In the first place. "i would rather serve them
- 00:08:37.603 --> 00:08:39.005
- "i would rather serve them than die at their hands."
- 00:08:39.071 --> 00:08:40.306
- Than die at their hands." that's exactly what they say.
- 00:08:40.373 --> 00:08:41.941
- That's exactly what they say. let me teach you
- 00:08:42.008 --> 00:08:42.909
- Let me teach you the bible lesson.
- 00:08:42.975 --> 00:08:43.943
- The bible lesson. we've always heard the red sea
- 00:08:44.010 --> 00:08:45.645
- We've always heard the red sea as a story of great faith,
- 00:08:45.711 --> 00:08:47.513
- As a story of great faith, but before they had great faith
- 00:08:47.580 --> 00:08:49.682
- But before they had great faith watch at their fear.
- 00:08:49.749 --> 00:08:52.385
- Watch at their fear. great faith doesn't look like
- 00:08:52.451 --> 00:08:53.052
- Great faith doesn't look like you think it does.
- 00:08:53.119 --> 00:08:55.187
- You think it does. i don't care what anybody
- 00:08:55.254 --> 00:08:56.055
- I don't care what anybody tells you about how long
- 00:08:56.122 --> 00:08:57.323
- Tells you about how long they pray or how much
- 00:08:57.390 --> 00:08:58.858
- They pray or how much they believe god
- 00:08:58.925 --> 00:09:00.159
- They believe god or how that taught
- 00:09:00.226 --> 00:09:01.794
- Or how that taught their children
- 00:09:01.861 --> 00:09:02.528
- Their children how to knit quilts and pray
- 00:09:02.595 --> 00:09:03.996
- How to knit quilts and pray for missionaries
- 00:09:04.063 --> 00:09:04.664
- For missionaries at the same time.
- 00:09:04.730 --> 00:09:05.731
- At the same time. that's all wonderful,
- 00:09:05.798 --> 00:09:07.199
- That's all wonderful, but i promise you

- "maybe there's not a reason for me to go through at all."
- 00:09:40.466 --> 00:09:42.401
- For me to go through at all." it's been making you
- 00:09:42.468 --> 00:09:43.002

- This didn't happen, "didn't we say
- 00:10:05.758 --> 00:10:07.026
- "didn't we say to you in egypt,
- 00:10:07.093 --> 00:10:07.793
- To you in egypt, 'leave us alone,"
- 00:10:07.860 --> 00:10:08.494
- 'leave us alone," this is verse 12.

- "'leave us alone; let us serve the egyptians?'"
- 00:10:10.863 --> 00:10:11.897
- Let us serve the egyptians?'" no you didn't say that
- 00:10:11.964 --> 00:10:12.531
- No you didn't say that to him in egypt.
- 00:10:12.598 --> 00:10:14.200
- To him in egypt. they never said that in egypt.
- 00:10:14.266 --> 00:10:15.534
- They never said that in egypt. if you find it
- 00:10:15.601 --> 00:10:16.102

- They didn't say that. this is a revisionist history.
- 00:10:23.042 --> 00:10:25.378
- This is a revisionist history. ah...
- 00:10:25.444 --> 00:10:29.782
- Ah... cause now i feel really bad
- 00:10:29.849 --> 00:10:32.451
- For moses even more
- 00:10:32.551 --> 00:10:33.352
- For moses even more than i feel bad for them,
- 00:10:33.419 --> 00:10:34.387
- Than i feel bad for them, and i feel bad for everybody,
- 00:10:34.453 --> 00:10:35.388
- And i feel bad for everybody, cause i --
- 00:10:35.454 --> 00:10:35.855
- Cause i -- you know, i would be saying
- 00:10:35.921 --> 00:10:37.323
- You know, i would be saying the same stuff.
- 00:10:37.390 --> 00:10:38.991
- The same stuff. i would be having
- 00:10:39.058 --> 00:10:39.625
- I would be having the same thoughts.
- 00:10:39.692 --> 00:10:40.559
- The same thoughts. i'd be wanting to go back too,
- 00:10:40.626 --> 00:10:41.494
- I'd be wanting to go back too, i do it all the time.
- 00:10:41.560 --> 00:10:43.929
- I do it all the time. but moses has to motivate them
- 00:10:43.996 --> 00:10:47.333
- But moses has to motivate them to keep moving.
- 00:10:47.400 --> 00:10:49.502
- In fact in verse 13
- 00:10:49.602 --> 00:10:50.803
- In fact in verse 13 he answered the people,
- 00:10:50.870 --> 00:10:53.406
- He answered the people, "do not be afraid.
- 00:10:53.472 --> 00:10:56.208
- "do not be afraid. stand firm and you will see
- 00:10:56.275 --> 00:11:01.981
- Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the lord
- 00:11:02.048 --> 00:11:04.717
- The deliverance the lord will bring you today."
- 00:11:04.784 --> 00:11:07.353
- Will bring you today." [clapping]
- 00:11:07.420 --> 00:11:08.854
- [clapping] "the egyptians you see today
- 00:11:08.921 --> 00:11:12.158
- "the egyptians you see today you will never see again."
- 00:11:12.224 --> 00:11:15.027
- You will never see again." [applause]
- 00:11:15.094 --> 00:11:17.096
- [applause] "the lord will fight for you,
- 00:11:17.163 --> 00:11:19.965
- "the lord will fight for you, you need only to be still."
- 00:11:20.032 --> 00:11:23.836
- You need only to be still." now a part of that is true,
- 00:11:23.903 --> 00:11:26.205
- Now a part of that is true, the lord will fight for you.
- 00:11:26.272 --> 00:11:28.841
- The lord will fight for you. but part of it is false,
- 00:11:28.908 --> 00:11:30.710
- But part of it is false, you don't get to be still.
- 00:11:30.776 --> 00:11:33.746
- You don't get to be still. in fact,
- 00:11:33.813 --> 00:11:34.680
- In fact, the moment moses
- 00:11:34.747 --> 00:11:36.615
- The moment moses gets his motivational speech
- 00:11:36.682 --> 00:11:38.350
- Gets his motivational speech out of his mouth
- 00:11:38.417 --> 00:11:39.652
- Out of his mouth god corrects him.
- 00:11:39.719 --> 00:11:42.655
- God corrects him. i wonder, did you ever read this
- 00:11:42.722 --> 00:11:43.589
- I wonder, did you ever read this about the green light
- 00:11:43.656 --> 00:11:44.290
- About the green light at the red sea?
- 00:11:44.356 --> 00:11:46.625
- At the red sea? i wonder,
- 00:11:46.692 --> 00:11:47.026
- I wonder, did you ever really think
- 00:11:47.093 --> 00:11:47.793
- Did you ever really think about this cause,
- 00:11:47.860 --> 00:11:49.595
- About this cause, moses is saying,
- 00:11:49.662 --> 00:11:50.129
- Moses is saying, "hey, god's got this.
- 00:11:50.196 --> 00:11:51.931
- "hey, god's got this. he told us to come through
- 00:11:51.997 --> 00:11:53.265
- He told us to come through the red sea,
- 00:11:53.332 --> 00:11:54.033
- The red sea, he's gonna do it.
- 00:11:54.100 --> 00:11:55.434
- He's gonna do it. he's god.
- 00:11:55.501 --> 00:11:56.001
- He's god. he's faithful.
- 00:11:56.068 --> 00:11:57.002
- He's faithful. he brought us out.
- 00:11:57.069 --> 00:11:58.404
- He brought us out. he didn't bring us
- 00:11:58.471 --> 00:11:59.004
- He didn't bring us this far to leave
- 00:11:59.071 --> 00:11:59.638
- This far to leave to just stand still."
- 00:11:59.705 --> 00:12:00.706
- To just stand still." now watch god in verse 15.

- Now watch god in verse 15. "then the lord said to moses,
