Welcome to the Memorial Parsha of Jesus Christs's Shemot. Haftarah Shemot, Isaiah 27:6- ; Isaiah 28:13 and Isaiah 29:22-23
Moses and Aaron tell
Pharaoh that they must go to worship their God, but Pharaoh rejects the counsel
of God, the word of God.
Also pharaoh makes the work
for the Hebrew even more difficult, by taking straw from the bricks, and
demanding the production increase while the Hebrew looks for straw to make
bricks. The officers of the children of Pharaoh were beating on the children of
Israel. Moreover, Pharaoh charged the children of Israel with completing their
work – for two days (Luke 22:30). Pharaoh responds to the complaint that they
children are idle because they wanted to sacrifice, to their God.
So the officers of the
children of Israel did see that they were in an evil predicament, because of
the adverse and harsh treatment that they were suffering. But through this
people, God always planned to bring the Messiah to full fruition.
Now the Hebrew people were
ready for deliverance because they had held on to God’s word, believed in truth
and worshiped him. Then as Moses acted as Priest, Moses asked God, “Why have
the peopled suffered worse than before?”
Have you had those moments
when you’ve prayed, praised, worshiped and believed the truth that you have
found, and evil comes and messes up everything? I know I have, and I feared God
because I saw that the lords of this land, the princes of this world were just
plain evil and could not repent, nor stand for stability, as the Psalmist says
why do the heathens rage? Since I am writing you then that means that Pharaoh
did leave the children of Israel alone, but there are other subtle forms of
leaders that are a stark contrast of the former Pharaoh. Today I can bear
witness of this great travesty of injustice; in all that I just let go and let
God. I have had many days of sorrow, and concern over the foolishness of evil
people, but God delivered me from the persecution, or I wouldn’t be here
writing you about it. Remember the enemy will test your faith, which is in Him
the Christ. You must carry your cross and stand strong, run to the end, finish
it and see what it’s going to be. Remember that it was not until the children
of Israel had believed and worshiped the word of God, did God say that he
would intercede.
In the next Chapter, Exodus 6,
does just what he says he will do, God’s word will come to pass, it won’t
falter. If you think that you ought to have straw to make bricks then your
should have straw to make your bricks, you are entitled to a good job; not
genocide.
