1 00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:04,280 Speaker 1: Let us pray, for I will pass through the land 2 00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:07,080 Speaker 1: of Egypt this night and will smite all the first 3 00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:10,360 Speaker 1: born in the land of Egypt, both man and beast, 4 00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:14,080 Speaker 1: and against all the gods of Egypt. I will execute judgment. 5 00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:21,040 Speaker 1: I am the Lord Exodus twelve twelve, Lord God, through 6 00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:25,119 Speaker 1: Exodus ten through thirteen sixteen, I will praise you for 7 00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:29,560 Speaker 1: your relentless pursuit of my freedom. Like the blood of 8 00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:31,920 Speaker 1: the lamb over the door post and this story that 9 00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:35,560 Speaker 1: was used to protect the children of Israel, I thank 10 00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:39,360 Speaker 1: you that you scent the lamb of God Jesus to 11 00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:43,760 Speaker 1: be the protection over my life. Because of his sacrifice, 12 00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:47,840 Speaker 1: I can live a life free from worry, guilt, and shame. 13 00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:51,839 Speaker 1: Because of jesus sacrifice on the cross, I don't have 14 00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:55,880 Speaker 1: to be afraid of plagues and sicknesses and diseases that 15 00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:00,000 Speaker 1: may fall on this land. For I decree and declare 16 00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:04,000 Speaker 1: that Divine health covers me and all those around me, 17 00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:07,559 Speaker 1: so that we can live out our God given destinies. 18 00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:12,560 Speaker 1: I decree and declare that my health frees me from 19 00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:14,680 Speaker 1: the chains of sickness that would try to stop the 20 00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:18,440 Speaker 1: move of God in my life. Thank you Lord, that 21 00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:22,960 Speaker 1: the time of my freedom has come. Thank you, Lord 22 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,000 Speaker 1: that you have divinely protected my family from all harm. 23 00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:30,000 Speaker 1: I now know that nothing can stop me or hurt me, 24 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:34,560 Speaker 1: because you are within me and all around me. So, 25 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:39,680 Speaker 1: like Moses to Pharaoh, I demand that any and all 26 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:48,280 Speaker 1: limitations let me go in Jesus' name. Amen. Thank you 27 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:51,680 Speaker 1: for praying with us today. Continue your time with God 28 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:55,720 Speaker 1: by listening to today's Bible story, brought to you by 29 00:01:55,800 --> 00:02:05,800 Speaker 1: Bible in a Year dot com. 30 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,440 Speaker 2: Last Plague and Passover. 31 00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:13,000 Speaker 3: In our last story, we learned about the plague's God 32 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:18,400 Speaker 3: sent on Egypt. Pharaoh was warring against God. His heart 33 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:23,440 Speaker 3: became hard and he refused to let Israel go. Pharaoh 34 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:27,200 Speaker 3: saw himself as God's equal and would not budge in 35 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:31,639 Speaker 3: letting his slaves be free. In this story, we will 36 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:35,480 Speaker 3: learn how God does not relent trying to deliver his people. 37 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:41,160 Speaker 3: God would send more plagues, climaxing at one final act 38 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:47,239 Speaker 3: of judgment, the Passover, as inspired by the Book of Exodus. 39 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:51,760 Speaker 4: Hello, I'm pastor Jack Graham with today's episode of the 40 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:55,440 Speaker 4: Bible in a Year. In yesterday's episode, we heard how 41 00:02:55,480 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 4: Moses and Aaron approached Pharaoh again and again, repeating God's demand, 42 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:06,080 Speaker 4: let my people go, and each time Pharaoh resisted those words, 43 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:11,679 Speaker 4: God sent plagues with increasing severity, leaving Pharaoh weary and fearful, 44 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,960 Speaker 4: But it was not enough to soften his hard heart. 45 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:19,359 Speaker 4: Today we'll hear of how one man's stubborn determination to 46 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:22,640 Speaker 4: have his own way and his refusal to acknowledge God's 47 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 4: power cost his entire nation, even his own family. God's 48 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:32,639 Speaker 4: judgment will culminate with one final plague, but God will 49 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 4: instruct the Israelites on how to be spared from this 50 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 4: terrible judgment. It is a story that pictures the coming 51 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 4: of our passover land, God's own son, Jesus Christ. Let's 52 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:45,520 Speaker 4: listen now to today's reading. 53 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 3: Pharaoh's heart of stone turned to steal. He sat upon 54 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 3: his throne bitterly cursing God. His servants begged him to 55 00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 3: let the Israelites Gohaohah. Considered it, but the restlings of 56 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:06,880 Speaker 3: his mind and soul were too cluttered. He refused again 57 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 3: and again, his pride never waned. God sent a swarm 58 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 3: of locusts to cover the face of the land. 59 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:17,920 Speaker 2: The east wind blew, and. 60 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:21,280 Speaker 3: Like storm clouds, the locusts. 61 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:21,839 Speaker 2: Overshadowed the land. 62 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 3: Every fruit, tree, plant, and crop of the land was consumed. 63 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:32,919 Speaker 3: Pharaoh begged God to stop, and he did, but he 64 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:37,000 Speaker 3: would not let the people go. Then the Lord spoke 65 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 3: to Moses, stretch out your hand towards Heaven, and darkness 66 00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:46,679 Speaker 3: will shroud the land. And so Moses stretched his hands 67 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:50,920 Speaker 3: towards Heaven, and darkness seeped into the great city of Egypt. 68 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:55,920 Speaker 3: For three days, everything was pitch black, and the Egyptians 69 00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 3: could not see one another. The darkness of the land 70 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:06,719 Speaker 3: mirrored Pharaoh's heart. Pharaoh again brought Moses to his throne, desiring. 71 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 2: To play God once again. 72 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 3: Go with your people, Pharaoh said, only let your live 73 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 3: stock stay here, for ours have been killed by the plague. 74 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:23,680 Speaker 3: Moses answered, our live stock, come with us. Every animal 75 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,599 Speaker 3: we own to the last hoof will depart from here. 76 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 3: But the Lord's act had hardened Pharaoh's heart. He was 77 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:32,800 Speaker 3: bitter and spiteful. 78 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:35,960 Speaker 2: Get away from me, he yelled. 79 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 3: Pharaoh now rose from his throne and pointed towards Moses. 80 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:44,359 Speaker 3: His face fumed with rage and his voice trembled. 81 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:46,159 Speaker 2: His composure broke. 82 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:51,360 Speaker 3: If I see your face again, you shall die, he exclaimed, 83 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 3: as you wish. Moses said, I will not see your 84 00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:57,240 Speaker 3: face again. 85 00:05:58,320 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 2: And then Moses departed. 86 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:04,719 Speaker 3: Soon after, God came to Moses and said, there is 87 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,719 Speaker 3: one more plague I will bring upon Pharaoh and. 88 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 2: All of Egypt. 89 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:14,280 Speaker 3: Afterwards, he will let you go go before the people 90 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:19,200 Speaker 3: and ask that every man and woman gather silver and 91 00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 3: gold from their neighbor. And God gave every person favor 92 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:28,719 Speaker 3: from the Egyptians, for Moses was greatly feared and respected 93 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 3: among the people. Moses went back before the people of 94 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:37,800 Speaker 3: Israel and spoke for God, saying, at midnight, I will 95 00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 3: go out in the midst of Egypt, and every first 96 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:46,240 Speaker 3: born in the land shall die. From the house of 97 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:50,719 Speaker 3: Pharaoh to every animal, the first born shall fall at 98 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:51,720 Speaker 3: my hand. 99 00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:53,920 Speaker 2: Moses spoke with. 100 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:57,839 Speaker 3: The intensity and gentleness of God, just as he encountered 101 00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 3: on Mount Sinai. There shall be an outcry throughout the 102 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 3: land such as there never has been, nor ever will 103 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:07,160 Speaker 3: be again. 104 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:07,880 Speaker 2: He said. 105 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:13,160 Speaker 3: For it was believed back then that Egypt had their gods. 106 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:15,320 Speaker 2: And the Israelites had one God. 107 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:19,240 Speaker 3: They did not believe there was a real separation of 108 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:24,000 Speaker 3: power between the two. Yet the Lord, in one final 109 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 3: sweep of his mighty hand, would show the world that 110 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:33,240 Speaker 3: there was only one true God. The warning reached Pharaoh's ear, 111 00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:37,320 Speaker 3: yet he did not flinch. His heart was like steel, 112 00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:43,080 Speaker 3: Yet even steel can be melted like wax. The Lord 113 00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:46,360 Speaker 3: ordered his people to mark that month as the beginning 114 00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:50,680 Speaker 3: of the year. On the tenth day, at twilight, they 115 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:54,720 Speaker 3: took a small, spotless lamb for each household to eat. 116 00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,960 Speaker 3: If the lamb was too large for the household, they 117 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:01,800 Speaker 3: would share the rest with their neighbors. In their homes, 118 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:06,120 Speaker 3: they would eat with bitter herbs in unleavened bread. The 119 00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:09,880 Speaker 3: next morning, they were commanded to burn whatever was left. 120 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 3: They would continue this tradition as a memorial for God 121 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:18,680 Speaker 3: was going to deliver his people that night. This was 122 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:23,080 Speaker 3: called the Lord's passover. The Lord ordered them to take 123 00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,800 Speaker 3: the blood from the lamb and spread it on the door. 124 00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:27,560 Speaker 2: Posts of their homes. 125 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:31,160 Speaker 3: Then, God said, I will pass through the land of 126 00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:35,359 Speaker 3: Egypt and strike all the first born. I will execute 127 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:36,800 Speaker 3: my righteous judgments. 128 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:38,800 Speaker 2: For I am the Lord. 129 00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,360 Speaker 3: This blood on the door post will be a sign 130 00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 3: for you. When I see the blood, I will pass 131 00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 3: over you, and no plague will befall or destroy you. 132 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,680 Speaker 3: For God would use the blood of the lamb as 133 00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:59,680 Speaker 3: a symbol of favor, protection and deliverance, a symbolic story 134 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:04,199 Speaker 3: that were echo into eternity. So Moses called the elders 135 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:07,520 Speaker 3: of Israel, and all of them made sure that people 136 00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:11,560 Speaker 3: spread blood on their doorposts. They hid in their homes 137 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:17,680 Speaker 3: and worshiped God. Midnight came, Silence filled the streets, and 138 00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:22,360 Speaker 3: all the lights had dimmed. Egyptians slept soundly in their homes, 139 00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:27,440 Speaker 3: while the Israelites remained awake, waiting for what would happen next. 140 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:32,280 Speaker 3: God descended on the land Silently. He wandered through the cities, 141 00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:35,800 Speaker 3: passing by every home. The only sound that could be 142 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,920 Speaker 3: heard were the exhaling breaths. 143 00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:39,520 Speaker 2: Of every first born. 144 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:45,160 Speaker 3: They breathed their last as God passed through life exited 145 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 3: each and every home that was not protected by the 146 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:52,480 Speaker 3: blood of a Lamb God, the defender of Israel, had 147 00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:56,480 Speaker 3: passed over. Every first born that was not protected by 148 00:09:56,480 --> 00:10:02,080 Speaker 3: the blood was destroyed. Eighty years before this night, the 149 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:05,640 Speaker 3: streets of Egypt were filled with the screams of Hebrews. 150 00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:09,240 Speaker 3: They cried as their first born sons were taken and 151 00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:13,120 Speaker 3: thrown into the Nile River. Babies squalled as they were 152 00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:16,000 Speaker 3: held by their feet and throned to the crocodiles. 153 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:21,280 Speaker 2: God had heard their cries and lamented. Now as dawn broke. 154 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:24,600 Speaker 3: After the Lord had passed over Egypt, the city erupted 155 00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:28,800 Speaker 3: with the screams of Egyptians. The hardened heart of Pharaoh 156 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:33,079 Speaker 3: shattered under the hammer of God, and the Israelites were 157 00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:37,559 Speaker 3: released from their captivity after four hundred and thirty years. 158 00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:42,640 Speaker 3: The Israelites were given silver and gold as plunder from 159 00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:46,040 Speaker 3: the Egyptians, and they fled the land with their children 160 00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:51,120 Speaker 3: and livestock. This day would be celebrated for centuries afterwards 161 00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:56,400 Speaker 3: as the Passover Feast, remembering God's faithfulness to his people 162 00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:59,960 Speaker 3: and his relentless pursuit of his children. 163 00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:05,200 Speaker 4: We open today's reading with the Pharaoh continuing to resist 164 00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:08,280 Speaker 4: God and to deny his children freedom, even as the 165 00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:12,679 Speaker 4: plagues brings suffering to the Egyptians. Crushed by these judgments, 166 00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:15,520 Speaker 4: they plead with their ruler to just let the Hebrews go. 167 00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:19,079 Speaker 4: But now he seems to be in too deep. It's 168 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:22,160 Speaker 4: at a point of no return. His heart is as 169 00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:26,920 Speaker 4: hard as stone, God, says locust to decimate farmland. The 170 00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,360 Speaker 4: same God who brought Joseph to Egypt and save the 171 00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:32,760 Speaker 4: people from famine now has the power to bring hunger 172 00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:35,880 Speaker 4: to the land. Pharaoh calls out to God, but his 173 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:40,160 Speaker 4: motives are not true adoration or contrition or repentance, just 174 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:45,200 Speaker 4: trying to manipulate God. He still refuses to hear and 175 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:49,840 Speaker 4: heed God's command. Darkness covers the land for three days. 176 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:53,000 Speaker 4: Pharaoh is shaken and tells Moses to leave, but begs 177 00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:56,679 Speaker 4: him to leave their animals, but Moses refuses to compromise. 178 00:11:57,040 --> 00:12:02,080 Speaker 4: The animals must go. Also Moses away in anger, threatening 179 00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:05,400 Speaker 4: to kill him if he comes back. Moses never spoke 180 00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:08,560 Speaker 4: to him again, but Pharaoh was about to hear God's 181 00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:12,160 Speaker 4: voice in a way he would never forget. One plague remained, 182 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:14,840 Speaker 4: and it would devastate Egypt with the death of every 183 00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:18,880 Speaker 4: firstborn male, but it would bring great deliverance to Israel 184 00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:22,160 Speaker 4: and foreshadow the salvation that would come one day through 185 00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:26,560 Speaker 4: God's son, who is the passover Lamb. God's final warning 186 00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:30,440 Speaker 4: reached Pharaoh, but again he was unmoved. He was in 187 00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:36,440 Speaker 4: direct opposition to God. His cold, dark heart bent on winning, 188 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:41,840 Speaker 4: would cost him and his entire nation Dearly before the 189 00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:45,480 Speaker 4: plague was to come, God gave his people very specific 190 00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:48,360 Speaker 4: instructions about how they were to mark their households with 191 00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:51,760 Speaker 4: the blood of a lamb and establish their calendar with 192 00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:56,360 Speaker 4: a fest remembering this deliverance. This day would be observed 193 00:12:56,400 --> 00:13:00,600 Speaker 4: by Israel from generation to generation to this very day. 194 00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:06,520 Speaker 4: Generations later, during the Passover feast, God's own son Jesus 195 00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:10,760 Speaker 4: would die as our sacrificial lamb. His blood was spilled 196 00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,400 Speaker 4: out not for his own sins, because he had no sin, 197 00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:16,800 Speaker 4: but for our sins. He is the pure and perfect 198 00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:20,480 Speaker 4: Lamb of God, and he calls upon us to receive 199 00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:24,200 Speaker 4: him and trust him, and therefore be delivered from the 200 00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:28,520 Speaker 4: bondage of sin. The Hebrews went to their Egyptian captors 201 00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:32,760 Speaker 4: and requested gold and silver. God granted favor with the 202 00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:35,480 Speaker 4: Egyptians so that his children could plunder Egypt and have 203 00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:40,160 Speaker 4: provisions for their long journey ahead. When the night came, 204 00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:44,400 Speaker 4: all Hebrew homes had their doorways painted with the blood 205 00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:50,960 Speaker 4: of the lamb. As promised. God judged Egypt by taking 206 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:54,600 Speaker 4: the life of Egyptian first born males. They all died. 207 00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:59,400 Speaker 4: God does not make empty threats. Judgment is real. Never 208 00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:04,040 Speaker 4: doubt the judgment of a holy God. Pharaoh himself awakened 209 00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:08,760 Speaker 4: to find his own firstborn child dead. With this, he 210 00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:12,120 Speaker 4: finally broke and opened his hand, knowing that he had 211 00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:16,400 Speaker 4: done battle with a powerful God, the One True God, 212 00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:22,200 Speaker 4: and lost. The Israelites were free four hundred and thirty 213 00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:25,800 Speaker 4: years after they arrived in Egypt, and now they had 214 00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:29,280 Speaker 4: their God to praise for it. There was great rejoicing 215 00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:32,560 Speaker 4: as they left Egypt, but it would not be smooth sailing, 216 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,920 Speaker 4: and Pharaoh would lash out in one final attempt to 217 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:40,000 Speaker 4: retain his control and destroy the people of God. We'll 218 00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:43,120 Speaker 4: hear about that the next time. Dear Lord, thank you 219 00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:46,880 Speaker 4: for teaching us your word. Today.

And it is in the name 225 00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:06,840 Speaker 4: of the Lamb of God who takes away the sin 226 00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:11,720 Speaker 4: of the world, Jesus, that we pray. Amen.
