Exodus 6 - God Promises to Deliver Israel | Bible Podcast, David Alley, Peace Christian Church

In this video listen to Exodus 6 read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer.In Exodus 6 God repeats his promise to the whole nation, but this time they know his name. Back in Genesis 32:29, Jacob asked God what his name was, but God wouldn’t say. So this is quite a thing.But now Moses finds that not only won’t Pharaoh listen to him, but the Israelites won’t either. It's terrible when a pastor knows he is saying what God wants but people won’t listen. Moses takes it personally in verse 12 telling God his lips are uncircumcised, that is not suitable or acceptable to God for his purpose.Up to verse twenty we see a list of four generations from Levi through to Moses. If the Israelites were slaves for 430 years this would be odd, but from Joseph’s death to Moses birth is only about 65 years, so this works. For a correct chronology of how long the Israelites were in Egypt see the TOBI Talk - How long were the Israelites Slaves in Egypt?If the four generations and the timing isn’t a problem, how on earth did the Israelites grow from 70ish people to millions? This also isn’t a problem, but needs a better explanation, which will be forthcoming in a later video.Finally Moses repeats his problem about how he feels about his speaking ability… it is becoming a theme now. He really feels incapable, and has no choice but to rely on God. This should put us in a whole new light concerning Moses. He saw himself as completely not suitable for the task, and the great outcomes are all due to the Lord.
