Psalm 78:42-55
July 28,2022
They did not remember his power or the day when he redeemed them from the foe when he performed his signs in Egypt and his marvels in the fields of Zoan. He turned their rivers to blood so that they could not drink of their streams. He sent among them swarms of flies, which devoured them, and frogs, which destroyed them. He gave their crops to the destroying locust and the fruit of their labor to the locust. He destroyed their vines with hail and their sycamores with frost. He gave over their cattle to the hail and their flocks to thunderbolts. He let loose on them his burning anger, wrath, indignation, and distress, a company of destroying angels. He made a path for his anger; he did not spare them from death but gave their lives over to the plague. He struck down every firstborn in Egypt, the first fruits of their strength in the tents of Ham. Then he led out his people like sheep and guided them in the wilderness like a flock. He led them in safety, so that they were not afraid, but the sea overwhelmed their enemies. And he brought them to his holy land, to the mountain which his right hand had won. He drove out nations before them; he apportioned them for a possession and settled the tribes of Israel in their tents.
Four Hundred years of being in Egypt, we get a clear understanding of what God shared with Abraham in Genesis 15:13-14, “Then the Lord said to Abram, “Know for certain that your offspring will be sojourners in a land that is not theirs and will be servants there, and they will be afflicted for four hundred years. But I will bring judgment on the nation that they serve, and afterward, they shall come out with great possessions.” One must not forget this is God’s plan, He did not make Joseph's brothers sell him, but He sure was not surprised by their actions. Nor was he shocked when they took him to Egypt. We see in Genesis 39:1, the following; “Now Joseph had been brought down to Egypt, and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, the captain of the guard, an Egyptian, had bought him from the Ishmaelites who had brought him down there.”
If you keep reading you see that Joseph has God's hand on him and it is apparent to Potiphar, that he placed him over his house. Things are looking good, till Potiphar’s wife gets the hots for Joseph, and he ends up in jail because of her lies. The jailer also sees God’s hand on Joseph and puts him in charge of the jail. You need to read the account of how he interpreted the dreams of two guys who had lost favor with the Pharaoh, and they promised to share what he had done once they were back with the Pharaoh. Three years later when the Pharaoh is about to kill all the wise men because they could not interpret a dream he had, the cupbearer says there is a Jewish guy in the jail that can take care of that. And when the famine came Joseph was in charge and it was all God’s plan. And our God and Father revealed this to Abraham a long time before it took place.
It’s been over two thousand years since Jesus walked on planet Earth in the flesh, where He paid for all sin, for all people, or we that much different than the people who were coming out of Egypt. Yes, I’ve thought about those things also, we would trust and believe if we had seen the Red Sea parted and walked across on dry land the next morning. That is a bunch of baloney, you and I have the same flesh they did, and we forget very quickly what our God has done.
I can hear you say, But our nation is so evil and demonic, and yes many have rejected the gift of Jesus' blood sacrifice, and they do as their father the devil put into their minds. We saw the effect of that in Texas where a demonic kid of 18, killed 19 children in a school and two teachers. Many believe the removal of guns from the Citizens will solve the problem, but a gun has never killed anyone, but evil men acting on the desire of their father the devil, for their desire to kill, steal, and destroy.
It was reported that the current administration is going to withhold funding to the school district for lunches for kids who need them if they do not allow boys and girls to shower together. Now if that is true, can you think of anything more demonic? We like the people who came to Egypt got a great promise from the Pharoah of what his government would do for them, and at it looked good, but it was not that long before they were slaves. The United States of America has bought into the fact that our nation was founded by evil men, that is a lie, and that our nations is evil; sure like saving the world twice from evil men who want to destroy our way of life. It was called WW1 and WW2, and we were used by God who is good, to save this world from evil rulers, who were under the control of the devil.
So give up your rights to freedom, and see how quick you become slaves to those evil people, who want to rule over you.
