Here's what 1st being $61.00 since it came to pass in the 480 s. Year after the children of visceral were come out of the land of Egypt in the 4th year of Solomon's reign over Israel Solomon began his reign as everybody knows at 1000 b.c. The 4th year is 966 b.c. 480 years before that is 1446 b.c. Which is the date of the Exodus according to the Bible it fits everything. All the details about which Pharaoh about the one that drowned but let me give you one story Ok. I mean Egypt. I've read a lot about this problem and I'm in Egypt with an Egyptian guy who studied at Harvard. He studied to Gyptian higher glyph inks and he believes the late date of the exodus like most liberals do we are in the Cairo museum a wonderful museum by the way and we went into the mummy room a lot of people didn't want to go in but I was I couldn't wait. I use You've heard about how they had all mummies not this mummy room they've got all the pharaohs and he's glass cases and they've got little signs over each row of them as to what Dynasty are what years it was in history all the way down so he takes our group down to the little line up of the Pharaohs in the Rama sees dynasty which is down the $1200.00 b.c. And he continues to wax eloquently mentioning what I've already mentioned about the python Brahma sees cities that Isreal built showing they were there then and he mentions verse 8 of Exodus one there was just a casual change in the leader there there was nothing it matches more with the time of Rama sees that he goes on a not everything he can think of I'm in the back of the group I'm listening. While he's talking I'm walking up and down and noticing the bodies of the pharaohs and counting them according to what he said so as he finished I raise my hand I say Scuse me I have a this is a small question I like to ask he said what's up I said you know in a bible one of the Pharaohs drowned in the Red Sea That would be the guy that chased them. He's there. He just told a story and he's there they said well a probably found his body wait a minute he drowned in a Red Sea should be a little salt I would think. I mean that thing looks like there's been some real scared oh well they probably knew how to do that and all that and he's going on and on well I'm still kind of trouble is so wise that I think has a bottle indicates there's a change in in the in the Kings their terms of the dynasty these are all the same dynasty. Well he said you shouldn't take the Bible too literally. Now that's a wrong thing to say to be rude or stammer so rather than a text that position he had just told the whole story the Exodus in fact I said you know it doesn't even match the story of the daughter of Pharaoh Where is it going to come in. Well he said that's a problem we're working on it. You're working on it. What Dr a pharaoh in his entire line what has such influence that could possibly have tried to groom fair Moses to be Pharaoh he says How do you know that I said has this in the Bible he resign Levon it is yes it is well I'm sure there's some explanation well would you mind if I get oh he says you got the floor or. So I said well we're in the wrong aisle he says you're what I said we're in the wrong aisle we need to go down a couple rows he says You're kidding. He said this is going to be embarrassing for you I said hey I can handle it no problem C'mon Everybody so we all marched out what about this time there are 3 or 4 groups in that car all museum mummy room who are absolutely enamored with this argument so I now have a bigger crowd than ever and of course you don't have a sort of preacher has a big crowd of his like sick of brothers sick of so I have a time in my life we go down there and here's this line of thought Moses always says you probably think has the end of their name is both us and that's why it fits in there I said I wasn't going to mention it but that's a good point he thought Oh he's crazy you know and I said No I think it's Queen had ships said oh hey she's a powerful Queenie set down the valley of Luxor has a beautiful funerary temple and she was obviously a tremendous power I said Ronnie therefore she would have been able to have groom Moses floor Pharaoh. He kept quiet I said also there's an interesting change here we now go to the elemental temple line and I said it's interesting look at this we have one empty casket Where is that Pharaoh. He said well we haven't found him yet you are but you searched all over the county of kings all the tunes that he can find out one got now why would one guy be missing I said is it not possible that he drowned in the Red Sea He said Oh well no you should know about the dream Stelly we found a little showing of rot it describes the story of how he was taken to heaven. I see it isn't a possible that that's mythological junk and the truth of the matter is he drowned in the Red Sea exactly like the Bible said Well now I had even unbelievers cheering on their ole Arai at all in the. Uk and he said all what difference does admit to it was a bed a mistake the earth your. I said server you spent over an hour down here few other roads really undermining attacking my blessid Lord always said we we we Muslims think a lot of Jesus I said no you don't know you don't you don't believe that he told the truth when he told us who he was. And my blessin Lord has given many commentaries on this wonderful book and I believe it is to be taken literally and I think used in a snow job down there and you can't prove it and you're stuck with it and this says very clearly that it matches a story that's in a book of Exodus well. Let's move on. And that was the end of that but over the next few days I had a wonderful time talking to that guy his whole confidence is a Harvard graduate Egyptian hieroglyphics the whole got his confidence is totally shaken totally shaken and you asked me Is it important when Israel was in Egypt Oh yes it not only deals with this passage these passages in the Book of Exodus a deals with the commentaries in the New Testament in the veracity of our Lord Jesus Christ yeah it's important all right the children of visceral were there the attitudes of the Egyptians look at verse 12 they were disturbed over the growth of the people during this time so much so new international translate Gyptian is came to dread the Israel lights they are fearful they're afraid. Not only with their attitudes disturbed over the growth of the people they were determined to make a difficult 1st 14 says they made their lives bitter with hard bondage let me tell you some the devil is a terrible taskmaster terrible behind which. Which leads me to the 3rd thing they were diabolical in their treatment of the Israelis it says in verse 13 they made the Children of Isreal to serve with rigor 1st 14 all their services were in they made them serve was with rigor. Modern English translations have tried to help us that they haven't improved greatly but new International says he worked them ruthlessly new Americans as a labor leader especially I'm very interested in the words that God actually placed in the Bible this Hebrew word is a rare word and I like to go back and study the root of a word just to find out what it means originally and then we could talk about how it's used I was really interested in this Hebrew word translated was rigor. Use a couple of times here because the root word means to crush or to break in pieces this is no light thing here God's people are suffering terribly and they're trying to break that. Crushing And you know I cannot help but say to you life often treats us that way it's like everything that we're going through is crushing our spirit and breaking us in pieces but you know God can take broken pieces and put them back together again. God can take all the crushing that we have gone through in life and turn it into something beautiful. And as I read to that story in you know if you if you have any affinity for the Jewish people there's an ape in your heart when you read this you think of other things like the terrible sufferings during the Middle Ages you think of the terrible hole it cost under Hitler in that attempt to crush and break God's people into pieces. But the Bible says in Hosea live in one it was in love that God was doing all of this little did the people know that through this whole experience God to teach them about redemption and salvation and forgiveness it's a great story. I got to talk about verses 15 to 22. It involves the attempted slaughter of Hebrew children. Quickly it was a command to Pharaoh king of Egypt that's clear in the Bible the Bible tells us in Romans 13 to a bay the commands of those to be in authority but acts $529.00 is a key verse for all of us Christians because Peter instead of obeying the authorities disobeyed their authority because he had to submit to God's authority he said we ought to obey God. Rather than man while. By the way those burst tools the Hebrew word is simply to stones and we found in archaeology evidence of that they would balance the person on these 2 stones and deliver the baby and midwives could get their hands underneath to deliver the baby I don't want to quibble about a small thing but just so you understand what's being said now not only was it a command to Pharoah who would be the power but it was a consequence which according to the Bible the midwives would not do there is not one single condemnation of these midwives by God yet I find people in our day condemning folks are trying to follow their conscience on this matter the Salada are of children these 2 women it doesn't say but I'm convinced they were Hebrew women not Egyptian midwives why because their names are Semitic they're not Egyptian ship Fromm who are now according to the Bible the basic reason why they wouldn't obey the government was they feared God but all accountability all obedience is rooted in that one statement faired God the fear of the law it's a beginning of wisdom and knowledge the fear of God is the Hague evil and the fear of God is going to get you into tough situations at times where you're going to have to decide whether this is an issue to die for or not the secondary reason it came off of that basic reason of fearing God was to save the men children these little children these little boy babies to save them alive it was their motivation that's what it says and the response they gave to ferals shows me the graciousness of the Lord people laugh at this when they answered Pharaoh and said the Hebrew women are there more lively the in Egypt or the Egyptian with Man it's hard getting those babies out of bodies Hebrew women are very vigorous. And people laugh at it like they're making up a story I don't think so I think you've made a mistake in making that judgment I happen to believe that God in His grace and His love literally made it happen that way so therefore he was protecting the midwives also as they're answering a pagan ruler knowing that if their answer wasn't good he kill him but God protected them he's going to honor them for what they did and that's the whole story you can't get out of this story I don't care who you are you argue and argue and argue you can't get out of it the fact is they fear God they wanted to save the baby baby boys allied and God honored them. You see it was a commitment that God honored and bless the Bible says the people multiplied and wax very mighty verse 20 and 21 and it says that God's answer is he made them houses and what's a talking about well it's pretty obvious but new international I think does a beautifully here he gave them families of their own new American says he established households for them or New King James provided households for them the point is God bless each 2 midwives and gave them great families because of what they demonstrated in their commitment that they love these children who are willing to suffer whatever wrath Farrel had to do what is right so what do we say is it really that hard this is a commentary by God in His Word dealing with the sanctity of human life is it worse to commit infanticide than abortion. Isn't it interesting that this whole issue which is now dominating the world's discussion at this conference on women and to think that the United States of America would try to persuade other countries many who do not have laws regarding the permission to abort to think that we as a country would promote other countries to demand abortion as a basic right of all women yes I believe in a woman's right to choose to choose not to have sex outside of marriage and have a baby they don't want but the truth of the matter is we have lost our moral understanding it is so crazy I listen to some of those reports I was sick in my stomach and one of the godly women are standing up and saying wait a minute this is wrong what we're doing Hey on the side of compassion if you've had an abortion God is a great God He will forgive you he will heal you get help and praise the Lord and all of that but let's come back to a basic issue does life begin a 10 steps in our not as a basic as your the Bible as Sandra Day O'Connor brilliantly reason. In one of the abortion cases before the court on till we hear apres in Taishan on when human life begins we cannot deal with this subject. It's true all the peripheral matters about whether we should finance it or not or or do this or that or allow this or that or have teenage counseling earth Planned Parenthood clinics and all that it's all a smokescreen people for one basic issue is that baby a real human being and if that baby is a real human being it is just as wrong to kill it when it's in the womb as it is the kill it after it comes out of the wall. This is a commentary on the sanctity of human life and I think it is also a call to God's women to take the commitment of 2 other women in the Bible being shipped raw and cool off whose names refer to Putin splendor who are blessed mightily by God because they took a stand against a government that could a killed the for one false knows. What is. In them and an amazing one at that BUSY thanks to.

But just trusting in Him is so important it's so important well the leaves on the top of the trees are beginning to change it looks like we're going to get into fall here pretty soon so enjoy those warm hot days we're still seeing the ninety's here in Denver and I hope you're enjoying that the change of the seasons as I do I really enjoy those I at I had to tell you a little story after living in the house that I have I've been living in for 15 years the trees in the shrubs and everything are getting a little overgrown so I went to Home advisors to see if I could find somebody that would be willing to not only trim. And shape but take out a couple trees that just don't look real good and so I went there to look for something and I got one response and that's all I need is one response you know that. You know we're always expecting of 10 people you know are going to respond and the response was from a gentleman who came and he left he looked at the yard I guess while I was at the studio and he left a leaflet and on the leaflet this is so fun I love the way the Lord works on his leaflet was not only his service history service which is called the Tree of Life tree service and I thought Whoa that's really interesting but at the bottom of his leaflet was Proverbs 1130 isn't God good he's so funny Proverbs 1130 the fruit of the righteous is a tree of life and he who is wise wins souls what a great 1st of Scripture and so I called him and he came and met with me and they're going to do it in September and just get rid of the trees haul everything off and shake my beautiful maple tree out in the front yard and my magnolia Bush is crawling up above the roof of the so he you know he looked at everything he says well this could use a little trimming and so I am so grateful God works in such wonderful ways and so quickly that I am I am always amazed at God's provision and add his presence in my life oh I hope you feel the same way thank you oh and you are blessed to dispense for any Him You live and move and have your being thank you for giving to Jack Phillips you were so generous and very prompt to send contributions for a wonderful cause Alliance Defending Freedom is doubling the donations that come in so after one week of me announcing this the 2000 that we sent in will be 4000 thank you so much I know. Compared to the hundreds of thousands that probably have accumulated because of this case against him but it does help and thank you so much you were so prompt I appreciate your giving so much I want to say a few words about John McCain because it's all over on the airwaves and in the media right now and I don't want to say anything derogatory about this man because he did serve his country but he's never really belong to the brand of Tea Party style Republicans who love to rail against Obamacare Obamacare has not been good for this country and for the people of this nation McCain didn't share many of his colleagues perspective that virtually anything would be better than President Obama's health care law and his dissenting vote showed that he truly was a Republican in name only and we call those Republicans that are bending towards the left we call them rhinos Republican In Name Only his one vote do you remember this his one vote kept Obamacare from being overturned he gave a thumbs down on repealing this dreadful health care bill now John McCain was for open borders and his Hispanic outreach director Juan Hernandez said this We must not only have a free flow of goods and services he calls them goods and services heroin and cocaine but also start working for a free flow of people John McCain's views were not in the best interest of the American people one of his best friends was Ted Kennedy and Joe Biden will be giving the memorial address he's Democrat and this week Barack Obama and George w. Bush will give the eulogy this man spoke out of both sides of his mouth and sometimes you have to really be careful when you're listening to people like that that go across the aisle and well Barbara don't. I want people to be kind to each other well there are so many different policies on the Democratic side like abortion that I cannot agree with the Democrats I'm sorry I just can't and so this man did he went on both sides of the aisle to a large degree even lobbying Paul manna for to has now been convicted he used him in getting a Russian dossier against President Trump now President Trump but we don't hear about things like that they're covered up so I just want to know a little bit. We just hear so much and you know that the left just admires him so much and Republicans are talking about him so much he's a man that served his country about well I'll just leave it at that and I hope it's you don't think wrong of me for speaking against him in some cases because we've got to know the truth about how some of these people have brought policies into the country that are detrimental for the American people. This is so. I I feel sometimes like. When some person is spoken so well of like John McCain that President Trump as looked down upon with much. Much I can even think of a word but looked down upon and I believe that we need to really respect our president right now. And so I appreciate your prayers I thank you so much for praying for him and washing your hands every day on behalf of him because he is a president that has really blessed our country and it seems like more and more people are not seeing the benefit that he has done for this country so I want you to know that that he has been a blessing and I believe it is God who has put him in that position as president of the United States so remember that and God Bless America thank you so much for for praying for him and his family the memory verse for this week is Matthew 619 through 21 don't store up treasures here on Earth where moths and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal but store your treasures in heaven where moths nor rust destroy and thieves do not break in and steal where ever your treasure is there the desires of your heart will be also remember that verse Matthew 619 through 21 great verses scripture and will be saying that all week long on the program in the book of mysteries by Jonathan Kohn.

Earthly existence is called Aster at the retaining can you look forward to the last day on this earth Oh praise God what does that mean I asked heaven and earth will pass away the sorrows of this world its pains and its evils will all pass away but there will be an ass or it there will be a keeping a retaining all the good of this life that came from him will be kept all the good that was done for him and for his purposes will be preserved Aren't you glad I'm so grateful for this kind of lesson from Jonathan Kohn Because sometimes you wonder about that everything that I've done on this earth what is going to be kept what is going to be retained what is going to be done away with and it's important that we realize that there is going to be a retaining of the good that we've done on this earth praise God so there will be a keeping a retaining all the good of this life that came from him will be kept all the good that was done for him and for his purposes will be preserved. I am I am lost I am lost all that was birth of God and all that was sacrificed and giving given up for God Can you tell this is a Monday these will be received already is that wonderful every work of faith of love of purity of redemption of salvation these will be kept all the people that you have won for Jesus Christ they are going to be kept their names are going to be in Heaven forever and ever and you're going to be a part of that all the labors of the righteous all the prayers of the holy and all the praises of his children all that which was born out of his love all this will be retained and brought across the Jordan as a treasure to be kept for ever the old will pass away behold old things have passed away behold all things have become new 2nd Corinthians 517 there will be no more darkness or tears or morning or death but the good the good will be kept in the keeping of heavens Aster it and the mission on the bottom of day 338 in heaven the good of this life will be retained do not retain anything of this day that is not good you now put it put it under the blood of Jesus if you have had a bad day is something as happen and someone said something that may have offended you but I hope it didn't I hope you're just as forgiving as can be when people say aught against you then cover that with the blood of Jesus don't retain it don't keep it don't hold it to yourself keep to your heart those things that have been good today and Jesus said in Matthew 24 that heaven and earth will pass away but my words shall not pass away and those words that you say from the Word of God They will never return void remember that heaven and earth will pass away but his word his word his word on your. Mouth his word in your heart will not pass away praise the Lord so we know that God has prepared such a wonderful future for us a future that includes everything that we've done for good for him on this earth remember do good for him because he is a good God and it's a wonderful life when we give him all the glory and the honor Oh it's wonderful. Just think of the wonderful things he's done for you. Salvation we think allow for eternity we will always be grateful to him for salvation but more than that daily on a daily basis I believe that's why I keep a journal every day because those wonderful things the little surprises in life the great gifts that he gives to us we can write down and then go back you know if you have a day that you've you have you had a hard day it's been hard wow challenging day go back in your journal and read about how wonderful he's been and that he's going to take you through he is going to take you through hell. And it's at some Wow how wonderful he is that's one of his names you know and his name shall be called Wonderful counsellor Almighty God Everlasting Father Prince of Peace What a wonderful father we saw we serve I wonder so many times maybe that's why my father left so early I was 39 when he left this earth and I love that man I love my earthly father I'm wondering if I would have held him up a little bit more than my Heavenly Father and that's why he left early in life but I love that heavenly father of mine he's been wonderful to me Matthew 690. Through 21 is our verse for this week but I also want to read it again as part of the things that we don't retain and some of the things we do retain We do not retain the riches and all the property we get on this earth you know so many people they think this is such their proper We've got to buy a bigger and better house and a boat in an airplane and make sure that everybody is taken care of and finances and you know that's not going to go with you and I haven't it isn't it's the words and the wonderful way that you tell people about Jesus Christ that's going to be retained and here is Matthew 61921 don't store up treasures here on this earth how many of us door up treasures on this earth oh I got to keep this and I got to keep that I'm beginning to let go of a lot of stuff throwing stuff away yap throwing stuff away where mobs eat them and rust destroys them have you ever seen a sweater how a moth eats a sweater. It's amazing it's just amazing how a little mob can eat holes in a beautiful sweater I remember height of really says oh I had a sweater I loved I took it out of a drawer to wear it for the wintertime and there was full of holes and I said How did you must get into my drawer. But they do on this earth and where thieves break in and steal I have had that happen to me to store your treasures in heaven where mobs and rust cannot destroy and thieves do not break in and steal where ever your treasure is wherever your treasure is see the desire of your heart. If you'd hold on to that stuff on this earth for you know I don't know what why do you have bank accounts why do you have savings why do you have things that you're holding onto what is your reason for it. Could it be fear could it be un of be secure because the only thing that's going to make a. Secure on this earth is trusting the Lord our God with all our heart and with our soul and with our mind that's going to be the thing that's going to be retained in heaven Matthew. 1921 through 22 And Jesus said this was a rich young man that came to Jesus and Jesus told him if you want to be perfect go and sell all your possessions and give the money to the poor. Oh I'm wondering how many of you are willing to do that if you want to be perfect this is Jesus speaking go and sell all your possessions and give the money to the poor and you will have treasure in heaven then come follow me and when the young man heard this he went away very sad for he had many possessions many possessions and Revelation 79 through 17 we're going to talk a little bit about heaven because that's what we're going to take some of this to have and some of the wonderful things that we did here on this earth for others for the Lord Jesus revelation 79 through 17. After this I saw a vast crowd too great to count from every nation and tribe and people in language standing in front of the throne before the lamb and they were clothed in white robes and held palm branches in their hands remember this lamb that they are worshipping is a lamb that gave his life remember that and they were shouting with a mighty shout salvation comes from our God who sits on the throne and from the lamb and all the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders in the 4 living beings and they fell before the throne with their faces to the ground and worship God they saying amen blessing and honor and glory and wisdom and Thanksgiving and honor and power and strength belong to our God forever and ever amen How can you see that on a melody bit behold blessing and glow. And wisdom and think skidding in on or in power and strength we can put we can put melodies to those words then one of the 24 elders asked me Who are these who are clothed in white Where did they come from and I said to him Sir you're the one who knows John was saying I don't know you're the one who knows You're the angel then he said to me these are the ones who died in the Great Tribulation see there are going to be proof this is going to be a hard time talk about persecution talk about difficult times we're going through right now when during the tribulation people will be saved they will be born again but oh oh what they're going to go through friend is going to be just heinous but it is going to be worth it because they're going to live for eternity with the Lord Jesus These are the ones who died in the great tribulation they have washed their robes in the blood of the Lamb and made them white that is why they stand in front of God's throne and serve him day and night in his temple and he who sits on the throne will give them shelter they will never again be hungry or thirsty they will never be scorched by the heat of the sun for the lamb on the throne will be their shepherd he will lead them to springs of life giving water and God will wipe every tear from their eyes Oh praise God We have so much to look forward to and then we go to Revelation 2110 through 27 so he took me in the spirit to a great high mountain and he showed me the holy city this is an angel again talking to John Jerusalem descending out of heaven from God and it shone with the glory of God and sparkled like a precious stone like Jasper as clear as crystal the city wall was broad and high with 12 gates guarded by 12 angels and the names of the 12 tribes of Israel written on the gates there were 3 gates on the each side east. North south and west the wall of the city had 12 foundation stones and on them were written the names of the 12 Apostles of the lamb so we see not only the 12 tribes of Israel but also the 12 apostles of the Lamb and the angel who talked to me held in his hand a gold measuring stick to measure the city its gates and its wall when he measured it he found it was a square as wide as it was long in fact its length and width and height were each 1400 miles now that's going to accommodate a lot of people are afraid his God forever and ever any measure the walls and found them to be 216 feet thick according to the human standard used by the angel the wall was made of Jasper the city was pure gold and when you see pure gold without any alloys its clear as glass the wall of the city was built on foundation stones inlaid with 12 precious stones The 1st was Jasper The 2nd was Sapphire the 3rd Agathe the 4th Emerald the 5th on ix the 6th car. Carnelian the 7th chrysolite the 8th the barrel the 9th Topaz the 10th Chris of phrase the 11th Jason through 12 Amethyst the 12 gates were made of pearls each gate from a single pearl. And the main street was pure gold as clear as glass I saw no temple in the city for the Lord God Almighty in the Lamb are its temple and the city had no need of sun or moon for the glory of God alumina ates the city and the lamb is its light Remember Jesus is the light of the world the nations will walk in its light and the kings of the world will enter the city in all their glory its gates will never be closed at the end of the day because there is no night there and all the nations will bring their glory and honor into the city. Nothing evil will be allowed to enter nor anyone who practices shameful idolatry or dishonesty but only those who names are written in the Lamb's Book of Life Oh I once your name to be their friend I just want you to accept Jesus as not only your savior but the Lord of your life so he can direct you every moment of your day God bless you it's been so good being with you and I will be with you again tomorrow take joy.
