BY TEENA L MYERS:
Today begins the lesson that started this project – Educating Pharaoh. The title on the video is different but this is still part of the larger manuscript titled Deliverance.
I’ve met more than one person who seethed, “God is not fair.” A superficial reading of the Bible can produce ample justification for that belief. But we cannot judge God within the confines of the brief time and space one individual lives and arrive at accurate conclusions about God.
God’s wants us to know him, and we can if we set aside preconceived ideas and examine God’s words in the light of his actions. His actions in Egypt prove that he cared about everyone, both the Egyptians and the descendants of Abraham.
From the day Jehovah created Adam until today, he has been teaching us who he is. Therefore, when Jehovah delivered Israel, he had a greater concern than easing the misery of people who abandoned him to serve a religious tyrant. Jehovah wanted everyone, Israelite and Egyptian, Jew and Gentile to KNOW HIM. He educated Pharaoh because educating Pharaoh would educate us.
I am teaching from the following scriptures:
Then the Lord said to Moses, "Now you shall see what I will do to Pharaoh. For with a strong hand he will let them go, and with a strong hand he will drive them out of his land." 2 And God spoke to Moses and said to him: "I am the Lord. 3 I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, as God Almighty, but by My name Lord I was not known to them.
7 I will take you as My people, and I will be your God. Then you [Israel] shall know that I am the Lord your God
5 And the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord,
