GOD’S WORD IS THE FINAL AUTHORITY ON ANY ISSUE! He answered, “Have you not read that he who created them from the beginning made them male and female, and said, ‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’? So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate.” —Matthew 19:4-6 So the LORD God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep, and while he slept, He took one of the man’s ribs and closed up the area with flesh. And from the rib that the LORD God had…

JESUS THE FINAL AND ONLY PASSOVER LAMB! The LORD said to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, “This month shall be for you the beginning of months. It shall be the first month of the year for you. Tell all the congregation of Israel that on the tenth day of this month every man shall take a lamb according to their fathers’ houses, a lamb for a household. And if the household is too small for a lamb, then he and his nearest neighbor shall take according to the number of persons; according to what each can eat you shall make your count for the lamb. Your lamb shall be without blemish,…

THOSE WHO HARDEN THEIR HEARTS AGAINST THE LORD WILL SUFFER JUDGMENT For by now I could have put out my hand and struck you and your people with pestilence, and you would have been cut off from the earth. But for this purpose I have raised you up, to show you my power, so that my name may be proclaimed in all the earth. You are still exalting yourself against my people and will not let them go. —Exodus 9:15-17 Then whoever feared the word of the LORD among the servants of Pharaoh hurried his slaves and his livestock into the houses, but whoever did not pay attention to the word of the…

LISTEN… LEARN… LIVE ACCORDING TO HIS WORD! And the LORD did according to the word of Moses. The frogs died out in the houses, the courtyards, and the fields. And they gathered them together in heaps, and the land stank. But when Pharaoh saw that there was a respite, he hardened his heart and would not listen to them, as the LORD had said. —Exodus 8:13-15 He was still speaking when, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased; listen to him.” —John 17:5 However, not to give offense to them, go to the sea and…

THE LORD IS ANGRY WHEN MOSES MAKES EXCUSES But Moses said to the LORD, “Oh, my Lord, I am not eloquent, either in the past or since you have spoken to your servant, but I am slow of speech and of tongue.” Then the LORD said to him, “Who has made man’s mouth? Who makes him mute, or deaf, or seeing, or blind? Is it not I, the LORD? Now therefore go, and I will be with your mouth and teach you what you shall speak.” But he said, “Oh, my Lord, please send someone else.” Then the anger of the LORD was kindled against Moses and he said, “Is there not Aaron, your…

SATANICALLY MOTIVATED SLAUGHTER OF THE DEFENSELESS Then the king of Egypt said to the Hebrew midwives, one of whom was named Shiphrah and the other Puah, “When you serve as midwife to the Hebrew women and see them on the birthstool, if it is a son, you shall kill him, but if it is a daughter, she shall live.” But the midwives feared God and did not do as the king of Egypt commanded them, but let the male children live. So the king of Egypt called the midwives and said to them, “Why have you done this, and let the male children live?” The midwives said to Pharaoh, “Because the Hebrew…

THE FINAL ENEMY TO BE DESTROYED—- DEATH! Then Joseph fell on his father’s face and wept over him and kissed him. —Genesis 50:1 So Joseph died, being 110 years old. They embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt. —Genesis 50:26             This chapter opens with the death of Jacob and closes with the death of Joseph.  Death is a judgment from God that occurred when Adam and Eve sinned.  Sin and death came into the human race at the same time.  They were told by our Lord God— “but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you…

DON’T FEAR— FIX YOUR EYES ON JESUS! But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, “Take heart; it is I. Do not be afraid.” And Peter answered him, “Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water.” He said, “Come.” So Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water and came to Jesus. But when he saw the wind, he was afraid, and beginning to sink he cried out, “Lord, save me.” Jesus immediately reached out his hand and took hold of him, saying to him, “O you of little faith, why did you doubt?” —Matthew 14:27-31             Was it the Lord walking on the water?  Peter…

GUILT FREE! God has found out the guilt of your servants… —Genesis 44:16             Unconfessed guilt is a heavy burden to carry.  For 22 years Joseph’s brothers carried the guilt of selling Joseph into slavery.  For 22 years Joseph’s brothers carried the guilt of deceiving their father into thinking Joseph died a horrible death by being killed and eaten by a wild animal.  For 22 years Joseph’s brothers carried the guilt of seeing their father grieve for his dead son.  The last picture related to his son was the bloodied, multi-color coat Jacob had made for him.  That is a lot of guilt these brothers secretly carried among themselves.            …

WARNING!  WARNING! Just as the weeds are gathered and burned with fire, so will it be at the close of the age. The Son of Man will send his angels, and they will gather out of his kingdom all causes of sin and all law-breakers, and throw them into the fiery furnace. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. —Matthew 13:40 So it will be at the close of the age. The angels will come out and separate the evil from the righteous and throw them into the fiery furnace. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. —Matthew 13:49-50             This is not some fairy…
