So they said, “The God of the Hebrews has met with us. Please, let us go three days’ journey into the desert and sacrifice to the Lord our God, lest He fall upon us with pestilence or with the sword. Exodus 5:3

The obedient to God has His testimony in their favor.  Pharaoh knew that Moses and Aaron were not lying.  Today the lost will also see the truth in our talks as we reveal the Almighty’s Word.  He will always assist those who obey the Lord’s commands. On the other hand the rebels will be isolated and alone for ignoring the orders from the Heavenly Father.

Remember this: God’s envoys speak using His words; the divine message cannot be abbreviated, edited or abridged without serious consequences. Understand: those who do this alter the essence of the Word and remove the purity and nature of the revelation.  The consequences for those who fall into this temptation will be very grave and our suffering will be disastrous.  Be faithful in obedience to God and fear nothing for He is with you.

Moses and Aaron obeyed the Lord by taking His message to Egypt. The Pharaoh understood that this was God’s work; but since he served all sorts of gods who were all liars, the king paid no respect or regard to the divine message. Certainly those demons who impersonated gods never made good on their threats but on comparing these filthy spirits that he adored to the Lord, the Pharaoh went overboard.

When the Pharaoh heard Moses and Aaron say that the God of the Hebrews had met them, if he had been well intended, he would have agreed and bowed immediately and asked for help in finding the true Majesty and be blessed with the cessation of his problems. However, since he chose to reject this message and oppose the true God, the king and his country paid a very high price.

Moses had his orders to remove Israel from slavery in Egypt, so he petitioned the Pharaoh to allow them to journey for three days into the desert.  Likewise this was the same as the three days Jesus descended into Hell before His resurrection, to divest the devil of the powers that he had stolen from man.  The king refused the request because he knew that he would lose the cheap manual labor of the Hebrew slaves which helped the economy a lot. Nobody can take advantage of someone else’s servitude.  Believe that God is justice and He will avenge the wages of the oppressed.

The people of Israel would have to offer sacrifice unto the Lord, and in truth, when someone is delivered from bondage to sin this already is like a praise to God. The Almighty is glorified when you take hold of the blessings, become someone of value in His hand and become blessed in all things. With this in mind, strive to prosper, get out of debts, be healed and live in holiness to be deemed worthy of being called a son of God.

With a prophecy to the king of Egypt, he who was taken from the water, warned and advised him that the Lord must be obeyed so that they would not be attacked with pestilence.  No matter who you are or what you do: strive to please God in your attitudes and you will be successful and blessed.

In Christ, with Love,
