GOD ALMIGHTY

We introduced a new song yesterday, at church, entitled: GOD ALMIGHTY (Chris Tomlin). It went along perfectly with this message with the same title. As we studed the final plague in Exodus, along with the insitution of the Passover celebration, it was clear to me that all of this was about the one and only true God making Himself known, even through His power displayed in the 10 plagues. And because of who He is and what He has done, He deserves my praise, my devotion, my obedience.

When you read about the video at the beginning of the message: I Am God Almighty - God Our Deliverer, you might want to see it yourself. There is a free preview of it at www.sermonspice.com Just type in the name of the video in the search box.

GOD ALMIGHTY
Exodus 10:28-12:32

Please turn in your Bible to the 2nd book of the Bible, the book of Exodus, and find chapter 11…Exodus, chapter 11.

We have been travelling through the book of Exodus together; and now we are near the end of studying the 10 plagues. For over 400 years, God’s people, Israel, had been in bondage in Egypt. They had been slaves and called out to God for deliverance. At the right time, God decided to take His people out of bondage, using an 80 year old shepherd named Moses. And God was going to use this event to show everyone, allies and enemies alike, that He was the one and only true God: Jehovah, the LORD, who keeps His promises and has a special relationship with His people. In order to do that, He planned 10 plagues on the nation of Egypt, in order to demonstrate who He was as God. And the man He put in power in Egypt, to oppose Him and facilitate the demonstration of His power was the King of Egypt, known as Pharaoh.

Let’s review what has taken place with these plagues as well as the 10th plague, which we will see today. Take a look at this:
VIDEO: I AM GOD ALMIGHTY – GOD OUR DELIVERER

In these passages, we have the announcement and judgment of the 10th and final plague. But, in between the two, we have the institution of a very important celebration, that would remember what God was doing then, in future generations to come. As we work through this today, don’t miss how all of it, the plague, as well as the Passover celebration, is connected to who God is and what He has done.

God declared the final plague and its consequences (10:28, 29; 11:1-10)

Exodus 11:1 – “The LORD said to Moses, Yet one plague more I will bring upon Pharaoh and upon Egypt. Afterward he will let you go from here. When he lets you go, he will drive you away completely.”

Up until this point, Moses had no idea how long these plagues would last, and which one would, indeed, be the final one. But now, God makes it clear, first to His chosen leader, Moses, that there will be a 10th and final plague that will bring the people of Israel out of bondage. That, even though Pharaoh had had constantly hardened his heart and was shown to be a deceiver, he would let the people go; in fact, he would drive them away completely, verse 1 says.

In these verses that describe the final plague and preparations for it, we see what man was responsible for and what God was responsible for. Before the plague was to come, there was some preparation that had to be done first:

Exodus 11:2,3 – “Speak now in the hearing of the people, that they ask, every man of his neighbor and every woman of her neighbor, for silver and gold jewelry. And the LORD gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians. Moreover, the man Moses was very great in the land of Egypt, in the sight of Pharaoh’s servants and in the sight of the people.”

· Man’s part: Ask for silver and gold from the Egyptians
God’s part: The LORD gave the people favor in their sight; and Moses was seen as great in Egypt.

The people of Israel were to ask the Egyptians for the silver and gold jewelry. This is pretty amazing, considering that the Israelites were the slaves and the Egyptians were the slave owners, so to speak. Why in the world would they give up their silver and gold? Well, the answer is the same as to why non-believers unexplainably, at times, bless believers, when it doesn’t make sense. Verse 3 gives us the answer: the LORD gave them favor in their sight. God caused the people of Egypt to see the Israelites in a positive way, even to the point of giving them their valuables!

Their job was to ask; and God’s job was to make it happen. And more than that, this man Moses, who could have been hated because he was connected to all of these devastating plagues on the people and land of Egypt, was actually looked upon as a great man, a powerful man. Somehow, they saw Moses in a positive light! That had to be God. It would be like you seeing your government officials, who double your taxes, as being positive – hard to imagine, isn’t it? This is even more incredible because of the amount of pain and suffering that came through the plagues!

There is a biblical principle here, that I want us to consider, before we move on. Here is the…

Principle: God may cause non-believers to bless believers to accomplish His will.
Proverbs 16:7 – “When a man’s ways please the LORD, he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.”

You might see this principle played out in your neighborhood. People who do not trust in the God you trust in, who are not followers of Jesus Christ – they like you because you have treated them with respect and kindness. They know that you are not going to have loud parties at night that disturb them. They know you are going to take care of things if your kids destroy any of their property. They can trust you. And because of that, they talk about you in a positive way; and are willing to listen to you talk about your faith. They may even bless you in other ways. Does it always happen this way? Of course not. This is a principle, not a precept. God is the one who makes these things happen, not us.

You see this principle played out at work. You might have a boss that is a non-believer; and yet you get recognized or rewarded because he appreciates the way you handle yourself at work. When you live a life pleasing to the LORD, there will be those who hate you. But there will be many, even who do not follow Jesus, that will appreciate how you live – with respect, integrity and love. God has given you that admiration in the sight of others, not so you could gain more materialistically; but so that God could gain more glory through your testimony in demonstrating His love. Next, in these verses of preparation, we are going to see:

· Man’s part: Moses was to announce the final plague to Pharaoh
God’s part: to bring the plague (12:29-32)

And Moses spelled out the 5 cold, hard facts about this final plague:
Fact #1:God is going to personally do something at midnight in Egypt

Exodus 11:4,5 – “So Moses said, Thus says the LORD: About midnight I will go out in the midst of Egypt, and every firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sits on his throne, even to the firstborn of the slave girl who is behind the handmill, and all the firstborn of the cattle.

Fact #2: All of Egypt’s firstborn will die

In every Egyptian family, the firstborn son would die in the middle of the night, from the poorest of the poor (slave girl) to the royal household (firstborn son of Pharaoh). Firstborn sons were very important to each family; and Pharaoh’s firstborn would be the heir to the throne. This would include their Egyptian slaves, their animals and children.

People might ask: Why would God do such a terrible thing by taking the lives of the firstborn children, slaves and even animals of Egypt? This is the type of question that gets asked when any kind of tragedy takes place. And in this case, God takes full responsibility for it, so it is even more troubling for some. If people want to only think of God as loving and don’t accept His sovereignty, than it would be very confusing. But, since God is the Creator and in control of His creation, He chooses to use His creation as He pleases to bring about His will and to bring Himself glory.

We may not like that, but we must choose to accept it. Plus, every person is responsible for their actions and for what they put their faith in. The nation of Egypt had put their faith in a variety of dead gods; and their refusal to recognize and worship the one and only true God brought destruction and death upon themselves.

The goddess Isis, the wife and sister of Osiris, supposedly protected children. But this plague showed her to be totally incompetent to do what the Egyptians trusted her for! The LORD was the Almighty God!

Exodus 11:6 – “There shall be a great cry throughout all the land of Egypt, such as there has never been, nor ever will be again.”

Fact #3: There will be national mourning in Egypt

There have been times of national mourning in our Country. When planes flew into the World Trade Center, we all mourned together. When our soldiers die on the battlefield, it grieves us. But, nothing is like the grieving when parents lose a child. Only those who have lost one can understand. In this case, we are talking about EVERY household in Egypt experiencing the loss of life. It is unimaginable! And there was absolutely nothing they could do about it. And so the wailing and mourning would be incredible.

Exodus 11:7 – “But not a dog shall growl against any of the people of Israel, either man or beast, that you may know that the LORD makes a distinction between Egypt and Israel.”

Fact #4: Israel will not be touched

God is making His distinction, as clear as possible, to say that Egypt will be judged; but no one will touch Israel: no the death angel, not an Egyptian, not Pharaoh, and to show the full extent of the distinction, not even a dog will bark or bite MY PEOPLE.

Exodus11:8 – “And all these your servants shall come down to me and bow down to me, saying, Get out, you and all the people who follow you. And after that I will go out. And he went out from Pharaoh in hot anger.”

Now, come back to the end of chapter 10 for a moment. Verses 28 and 29 come after the 9th plague. But, many believe that it was in the midst of these verses, that the discussion in 11:1-8 took place. Look at:

Exodus 10:28,29 – “Then Pharaoh said to him, Get away from me; take care never to see my face again, for on the day you see my face you shall die. Moses said, As you say! I will not see your face again.”

But, then here, a few verses later, they are back face to face. Whether he meant he would not see him face to face as before, offering a chance for repentance; or he meant that they would not see each other again, except for Pharaoh’s request at the end, we don’t know for sure. But, it makes sense that these events all go together, and that God chose to have them written down this way, not to help us with the chronology of the events, but to introduce what we were about to read, as a literary device. Either way, 11:8 gives us:

Fact #5: There will be an exodus, of Israel, from the land of Egypt

Moses was fired up! Pharaoh had threatened to take his life, had deceived him several times, and continued to play power games. In this instance however, there was not the regular warning: If you do not let my people go, then this will happen; but just the announcement of judgment that was coming. Moses even told Pharaoh that they would beg he and the people of Israel to leave once this final plague was over; and that following that, they would be leaving.

Exodus 11:9, 10 – “Then the LORD said to Moses, Pharaoh will not listen to you, that my wonders may be multiplied in the land of Egypt. Moses and Aaron did all these wonders before Pharaoh, and the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he did not let the people of Israel go out of his land.”

This was a summary of what had happened over the 10 plagues. God told Moses that Pharaoh would not listen, and He gave the:

Purpose: God wanted others to see the extent of His power.
And here is part of the answer for why it wasn’t just one plague and we’re done. God wanted His wonders multiplied in Egypt; and these 10 plagues, in His sovereignty, would have the effect that was needed…not just for that moment, but for the people of Israel who were delivered and for the stories that would be passed onto future generations.

· Man’s part: To do what God asked, in communicating the message and performing the signs
God’s part: To harden Pharaoh’s heart so that he would not let the people go until just the right time.

God gave Moses and Aaron instructions to institute the Passover (12:1-20)

In the midst of this recording of the 10th plague, God wanted Moses to write down His instructions concerning a new feast and a celebration that would last for generations to come: The Passover

Exodus 12:1-6 – “The LORD said to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, This month shall be for you the beginning of months. It shall be the first month of the year for you. Tell all the congregation of Israel that on the tenth day of this month every man shall take a lamb according to their fathers’ houses, a lamb for a household. And if the household is too small for a lamb, then he and his nearest neighbor shall take according to the number of persons; according to what each can eat you shall make your count for the lamb. Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male a year old, You may take it from the sheep or from the goats, and you shall keep it until the fourteenth day of this month, when the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill their lambs at twilight.”

So, this was before they left Egypt, before the final plague had come. And the instructions God gives to Israel were not just details for the last plague; but were meant to be meaningful for the rest of their lives; as well as for future generations. And so, even though this would be how they were to get ready for their deliverance for the 10th plague, the emphasis here was on the details of their future celebration of what God was about to do. They would be celebrating in their individual homes; but with unity and obedience in worship of God:

· Take an unblemished lamb and kill it

This celebration was going to be in the first month of their worship calendar, which was determined to be the time when they came out of Egypt. According to our calendars, their first month falls during part of March and part of April for us. In fact, you may have a calendar that tells you that Passover is celebrated during this time. They were to pick out the lamb on the 10th day of that month and kill it on the 14th day. They were to take 4 days to examine and make sure the lamb met the specific qualifications for the sacrifice. And that would be the Passover celebration.

Exodus 12:7 – “Then they shall take some of the blood and put it on the two doorposts and the lintel of the houses in which they eat it.”

· Put the blood on the doorposts of the house and the beam above

Instead of the blood of the children like Egypt was going to suffer through, this would be the blood of the lambs; and it gives a very strong picture for what would happen thousands of years later. But they had very specific instructions. The blood was to be put on the two doorposts and then on the horizontal beam just above the doorway. God would explain the reasons later. All of this would be very new and probably a little strange to the Israelites, whom had never done anything like this before. And yet, this is what God told Moses that he was to tell the people; and there is no arguing from Moses or Aaron about what God was demanding.

Exodus 12:8-10 – They shall eat the flesh that night, roasted on the fire; with unleavened bread and bitter herbs they shall eat it. Do not eat any of it raw or boiled in water, but roasted, its head with its legs and its inner parts. And you shall let none of it remain until the morning; anything that remains until the morning you shall burn.”

· Eat the roasted lamb, with unleavened bread and bitter herbs
The lamb was the sacrifice, whose blood was going to be their covering. The unleavened bread would come to mean more, spiritually, in the future, as the Bible describes it. But, at that time, it was more about the fact that they would be leaving the country of Egypt at a moment’s notice, without time to have the bread rise with the yeast…therefore, the unleavened bread was a part of the celebration. The bitter herbs symbolized the grief they had endured as slaves in Egypt.

Exodus 12:11 –“In this manner you shall eat it: with your belt fastened, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand. And you shall eat it in haste. It is the LORD’s Passover.”

· Be prepared to leave at a moment’s notice
This was to be done for the LORD; and the idea of being dressed and ready to travel was important because of the plan God knew was coming to pass the next morning.

Exodus 12:12,13 – “For I will pass through the land of Egypt that night, and I will strike all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and on all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgments: I am the LORD. The blood shall be a sign for you, on the houses where you are. And when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and no plague will befall you to destroy you, when I strike the land of Egypt.”

· I (the LORD) will judge my enemies and all other gods; but because of the blood, you will be protected

We know the blood on the doorposts was not about God being able to know where the Egyptians lived and where the Israelites lives. He had distinguished them pretty well up to this point in all the plagues. This was about a sign; that they were the Lord’s and were covered by the blood.

That night after eating the lamb and placing the blood, God would come and bring the judgment of the final plague. This was a strike against all of Egypt’s gods, to show that He indeed is THE LORD. Pharaoh’s eldest son and successor supposedly had divine properties. Min, the Egyptian god of reproduction, and Isis, the goddess of love who attended women at childbirth, were judged as impotent by this incredible plague.

God had said, when He was first instructing Moses about what would happen:
Exodus 4:22, 23 – “Then you shall say to Pharaoh, Thus says the LORD, Israel is my firstborn son, and I say to you, Let my son go that he may serve me. If you refuse to let him go, behold, I will kill your firstborn son.”

Before any of the plagues began, Moses was instructed to deliver this message to Pharaoh. The fact was that God considered Israel His own personal firstborn son; and if Pharaoh did not let him go, then He would kill Pharaoh’s firstborn son. But His “son”, Israel, would remain protected.

Exodus 12:14 – “This day shall be for you a memorial day, and you shall keep it as a feast to the LORD; throughout your generations, as a statue forever, you shall keep it as a feast.”

· Keep this celebration forever

This was to be done, not just before the left the land; but as long as the nation remained on the face of the earth. Connected with the Passover is the Feast that is now described, which begins the next day and lasts for a week:

Exodus 12:15-20 - “Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread. On the first day you shall remove leaven out of your houses, for if anyone eats what is leavened, from the first day until the seventh day, that person shall be cut off from Israel. On the first day you shall hold a holy assembly, and on the seventh day a holy assembly. No work shall be done on those days. But what everyone needs to eat, that alone may be prepared by you. And you shall observe the Feast of Unleavened bread, for on this very day I brought your hosts out of the land of Egypt. Therefore you shall observe this day, throughout your generations, as a statue forever. In the first month, from the fourteenth day of the month at evening, you shall eat unleavened bread until the twenty-first day of the month at evening. For seven days no leaven is to be found in your houses. If anyone eats what is leavened, that person will be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he is sojourner of a native of the land. You shall eat nothing leavened; in all your dwelling places you shall eat unleavened bread.”

· For 7 days, eat unleavened bread and remove all leaven from the house; or you will be disciplined severely.

The unleavened bread would represent the fact that the people of Israel had to leave quickly and could not wait for the dough to rise. Later, in the Bible, leaven is used to represent sin. But, here, it is a picture and a forever reminder of God’s deliverance out of Egypt.

If they did not remove all the leaven, it was considered a serious sin…Enough to be “cut off from the nation of Israel.” According to Biblical scholars this meant they “would be excluded from the camp, separated from covenant rights and privileges, possibly resulting in death.”

· On the first and seventh day, hold special services, and do not work during the week, except to prepare food. This is the Feast of Unleavened Bread.

Moses passed the instructions from God to the leaders of Israel (12:21-28)

Exodus 12:21,22 – “Then Moses called all the elders of Israel and said to them, Go and select lambs for yourselves according to your clans, and kill the Passover lamb. Take a bunch of hyssop and dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and touch the lintel and the two doorposts with the blood that is in the basin. None of you shall go out of the door of his house until the morning.”

· Stay in your house until the morning.

Most of these instructions were already recorded for us when God spoke to Israel, as they are now emphasized to Israel’s leaders. However, there are a few things that were not recorded in the previous passage. The admonition to stay in the house until morning is one of them. Again, the important symbol of the house and everyone in it being protected, because of the blood, was emphasized.

Exodus 12:23 – “For the LORD will pass through to strike the Egyptians, and when he sees that blood on the lintel and on the two doorposts, the LORD will pass over the door and will not allow the destroyer to enter your houses to strike you.”

· Because of the blood, the LORD will not destroy you

The idea of the Destroyer, God, passing over these houses and not touching the firstborn sons of Israel, is what gave the feast its name and significance: The Passover.

Exodus 12:24 – 27 – “You shall observe this rite as a statue for you and for your sons forever. And when you come to the land that the LORD will give you, as he has promised, you shall keep this service. And when your children say to you, What do you mean by the service? You shall say, it is the sacrifice of the LORD’s Passover, for he passed over the houses of the people of Israel in Egypt, when he struck the Egyptians but spared our houses. And the people bowed their heads and worshiped.”

· Teach your children that the reason you keep this feast, is because of God’s judgment of Egypt and deliverance of Israel.

When they finally got to the promised land that God was taking them to, they were to celebrate this and remember, forever, what God had done.

Exodus 12:28 – “Then the people of Israel went and did so; as the LORD has commanded Moses and Aaron, so they did.”

· Israel worshiped and then obeyed as God commanded

Moses and Aaron gave the instructions from God to the elders of Israel; and they passed it down to each household in Israel, and so every individual received God’s Word. Because of what they heard, they bowed their heads in worship. And then, they demonstrated true worship through obedience.

SO WHAT about us today? Does this have anything to do with us? It absolutely does. In fact, the most important decision you can make in this life is connected to this event that took place thousands of years ago. In the Bible, we are told that what happened here in the final plague and what the Jewish people have celebrated as Passover all these years, has great significance for everyone who is willing to believe it, regardless of nationality, background, or religious standing.

Just as the blood of a unblemished lamb had to be spilt in order to deliver God’s people in Exodus, so the blood of a perfect lamb had to be spilt in order to deliver those who believe from their sins. This is what John the Baptist said about Jesus:

John 1:29 – “The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!”

Jesus, who was the only perfect human being that ever lived, had to shed His blood, so that we could be forgiven of our sins. Way back in Exodus we began to learn this truth. And when Jesus died on the cross, the connection was made between the law of sacrifices and the truth that was found in Jesus Christ:

Hebrews 9:22 – “Indeed, under the law almost everything is purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins.”
Jesus Christ had to shed His blood and die. Religions all over the world knew what human sacrifices and blood sacrifices were, but this was different:
VIDEO: BLOOD SACRIFICES

What does it mean to believe? A great picture of that is what the people of Israel had to do with the blood of the lamb. They didn’t just watch the leaders of Israel kill a lamb and go through a ceremonial ritual. They, each household, had to kill a lamb and personally put the blood of that lamb on the doorposts and beam at the entrance of their house. And when God saw that, He would pass over them and not bring judgment. They were protected. They were acting in faith, to demonstrate that they believed God and His Word.

Ephesians 2:8, 9 – “For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.”

There are many people in our world today that might say: I am a Christian because I’m an American, grew up in a Christian family, go to church, believe in God, believe in Jesus, and have confessed my sins. But, the Bible is clear that salvation from sin, and eternal life, do not come because of hard work, or even good works. Eternal life is a gift that comes through faith. In order to demonstrate true faith, the gift of God must be accepted so that the blood of Christ covers that person’s sins.

The Israelites had to apply the blood to the doorposts. We have to apply faith to trusting in the blood of Jesus Christ to save us from our sins and apply that blood to the doorposts, so to speak, by placing our faith and trust in Jesus Christ, his death, burial and resurrection, alone. Have you set aside your trust in your good works, in your church, in whatever else, and trusted in the shed blood of Jesus alone to get you to Heaven? If not, I would love to talk with more. You can also write something on the welcome card in front of you and drop it off at the welcome center table; and someone will contact you.

1. By faith, trust in the shed blood of Jesus Christ for eternal forgiveness of sins.

Once this instruction had been given and obeyed, we then have recorded for us:
Plague 10: Death of the Firstborn of Egypt (12:29-32)

Exodus 12:29 – “At midnight the LORD struck down all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sat on his throne to the firstborn of the captive who was in the dungeon, and all the firstborn of the livestock.”

· God did exactly what He said He would do

Exodus 12:30-32 – “And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he and all his servants and all the Egyptians. And there was a great cry in Egypt, for there was not a house where someone was not dead.Then he summoned Moses and Aaron by night and said, Up, go out from among my people, both you and the people of Israel; and go, serve the LORD as you have said. Take your flocks and your herds, as you have said, and be gone, and bless me also!”

· Pharaoh responded by releasing them all from bondage and asking for a blessing from God

Released the people that same night with no restrictions. He no longer was seeking Moses’ death. He even demanded that they leave. The fight was over. The king, who was considered a god, was now humbled to the point of asking that Moses and Aaron…bless him.

God said in:
Exodus 6:3 – “I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, as God Almighty…”
But, then He goes on to explain that He wants to be known as the LORD to His people Israel…The LORD, Jehovah, who keeps His promises and redeems His people for a relationship. But, in order to do that, throughout the plagues, we have seen Almighty God demonstrate that He is greater, not only than any human leader (even Pharaoh who acted like a god); but He is greater and more powerful than any other god (including the many and various gods of Egypt). He said, in:

Exodus 3:19, 20 – “But I know that the king of Egypt will not let you go unless compelled by a mighty hand. So I will stretch out my hand and strike Egypt with all the wonders that I will do in it; after that he will let you go.”

SO WHAT? Let me give you a couple of multiple choice statements, that might help you know how to apply this to your life today:

2. Because God is who He is and has done what He has done (God Almighty), I need to:
· Continue to be my own god, and live life as I please
· Take some time to study and think about who God is and what that means for my life
· Fall on my face in humble repentance before Him
· Make this particular change in my life: ___________________________
· Praise Him for who He is and what He has done

You pick your own answer; and commit it to Him in prayer (in just a moment)
One other statement…You choose what fits for you today:

3. Based on the importance of faith acted out, in reference to the blood being shed for deliverance from death, I need to…
· Ignore what the Bible says about blood and salvation
· Think more about this
· Place my complete faith and trust in the shed blood of Christ and His resurrection, in order to accept the free gift of eternal life
· Spend some time meditating on what Jesus did for me
· Thank God for providing my deliverance from eternal separation from Him, through the shed blood of Jesus Christ

Which is your answer? Take a couple of minutes, right now, to go in personal prayer time with God. Answer these SO WHAT statements with what is in your heart right now. Commit yourself to Him in these matters. I would also encourage you to share your commitments with someone else you trust, that can pray with you about spiritual growth.

Let’s pray.

Exodus 12:27 says that when the people of Israel heard what God was going to do, that they “bowed their heads and worshiped.” That is appropriate for us now, as we not only consider what God did in Exodus; but what Jesus Christ did for us, 2,000 years ago, in shedding His blood, so that if we believe by faith, accepting the gift of eternal life, without our works, we also are protected and have a home in Heaven when we die. Let’s worship Him by singing together the song we introduced at the beginning of this service. Listen carefully and as you can, sing along with us: God Almighty. Then, we will close by praising God for the fact that remains today: He is God alone!
