This is the very purpose why Moses was called. This is the very purpose why he was born. This is the very purpose why those circumstances happened in his life. The due time came that he had to flee Egypt. Through those circumstances, the Father Almighty was telling Moses, it’s now time for you to come out from this place, because you will have your heavenly calling revealed to you. It’s enough that you have been here for 40 years. It’s enough that you were educated here for 40 years. That was one of the plans.
But now, the heavenly plan of teaching Moses had already come in its due time. So a problem arose. Moses, who was really an Israelite by heart, accidentally killed an Egyptian whom he saw was flagellating an Israelite. Moses became fearful that Pharaoh would know about this and he fled Egypt for no reason at all. Why would he fear the Pharaoh? The Pharaoh was his grandpa, but the circumstances were turned around because the Father’s plan should continue.
Perhaps, if you were Moses, you would consider staying in the comfort of the Egyptian palace. But because Moses was under the plan of the Father without him knowing it, he had to follow that certain plan in the circumstances of his life even without him knowing it. This problem arose where he had to flee Egypt and he found himself in the backside of the wilderness walking alone from a princely life to a pauper’s life. From a life of abundance to a life of nothingness.
He was walking in the backside of the wilderness until his attention was attracted by a burning bush. He drew closer and he heard a voice “Moses take off your slippers for the ground where thou standest is holy ground.” Exodus 3:5
He heard a voice, looked around, and saw no one. What he heard was just an audible voice, so he drew closer and that was the beginning of his heavenly schooling in the University of the Spirit. How many years did Moses stay in the wilderness? He stayed there for 40 years. Another 40 years of tutelage not under a human being, but under the power of the Almighty. Revelations, visions, dreams and audible voices were supplied to Moses until one day, after 40 years, he knew that the calling of the Father was for him.
Now he knew why he was born. He knew why he was tutored under the roof of the Pharaoh; why all of these circumstances in his life came about because of the plan of the Almighty that had been revealed to him.
Whenever the Father has a plan of salvation of any kind, He makes a preparation and He prepares somebody to become His savior. That somebody
had not been recorded to have come
directly from heaven already an adult.
Beginning with the Jewish setting, there
is no record yet of somebody coming
down directly from heaven with the
angelic body, and all of a sudden saves his own people. The Almighty Father does
not work like that because of the kinsman
type of redemption. In the kinsman type of
redemption, somebody must be born just
like us in order to be used of the Father to
save his own fellow human beings. He has
to be born of a woman.
Moses was born an ordinary man
like us. But there was a calling in his life.
Although his freedom of choice was still
intact, the circumstances in his life guided
him towards that heavenly calling until
he found himself in the backside of the
wilderness and there, he was tutored by
the Almighty Father. there was only one
student and one teacher. Moses learned
everything in the University of the Spirit,
and in due time, he came back to Egypt
with one message saying, “Let my people
go!”
Moses went back to Egypt and
faced the Pharaoh. The first Pharaoh who
was his grandpa already died and this was
another pharaoh whose heart was very
hard. “Who are you to tell me to let the
Israelites go?” Pharaoh’s heart became
very hard, he was a powerful man. He
must have thought, “This Moses was just
a wilderness dweller, he was a nomad and
now, he’s telling me to let the Israelites
go. No way!” Moses came back again
and again, but the Pharaoh wouldn’t let
the Israelites go. The Ten Plagues began
to pour.
THE TEN PLAGUES IN EGYPT
What was the first plague? Water
turned into blood (Exodus 7:17-20).
All of a sudden, all the water in Egypt
became blood. Again, the Pharaoh’s heart
was hardened more. What was the second
plague? Frogs. All of Egypt was full of
frogs. You go to your house and all the
frogs are on your bed, in your kitchen,
in your living room, in your bedroom,
in your cabinets. Everywhere there were
frogs. The Pharaoh would promise, “Oh
Moses, Moses, Moses I’ll let your people
go, just let the frogs go away!” And all
of a sudden the frogs all died. And Egypt
was now free of frogs.
But then again after that, the
Pharaoh’s heart was hardened. What was
the third plague? The rice became lice.
All of Egypt was plagued with lice. If you
have two lice in your head, in your hair,
you will not be able to sleep at night.
Just imagine if one man had a thousand lice, what happens? It will suck all of the blood out of your body and you won’t be able to sleep. All of the Egyptians couldn’t sleep and they became pale because of the billions of lice plaguing them. They cried to Moses again. Pharaoh told him, “Moses, now I know you are of God, I’ll let your people go.” The lice all died. His heart became hard again. What was the fifth plague? After the lice, the flies came. After the flies, the sixth plague came. All cattle died. Then after that, the people had boils.
In Egypt, all of the parts of the people’s bodies had boils. One boil will send you to hell in pain. How much more if your body was full of boils? All the boils were there. They cried to Moses. The boils dried up. The next plague came. Hail rained down from the sky. These were snow balls as hard as golf balls fell down from the sky. Then after that, the locusts came. Everywhere you go there were locusts. They did not harm the people but they harmed all green living things. After that, all of Egypt was engulfed by darkness. There was light only in Goshen.
Pharaoh’s heart was still hard, but the last plague had really softened him. It was the death of all of the firstborn of Egypt. That culminated the Ten Plagues of Egypt when all Egyptians allowed the Israelites to go. And the Lord said, “Borrow all their gold and silver before you go.” Exodus 11:1-3; Exodus 12:35
They borrowed anything they wanted from the Egyptians as long as they just go. It bankrupted Egypt until now. Egypt was not able to rise up from being a world power after that because all of their gold was stolen by the Israelites through borrowing. The Egyptians wanted the Israelites to go out, for they were the reason why they were cursed. They were sent out no matter what.
The Israelites bankrupted Egypt, that’s why when they went out, the Egyptian army pursued them because after a while Pharaoh awakened from his stupor of being lullabyed into letting them go because of the curse. He sent his army to run after the Israelites to retrieve all the gold that the Israelites borrowed. Moses saw the smoke rise from the back of where they were. A spy told him that Pharaoh’s army was running after them. All three million of them cried to Moses. And Moses was desperate, he began to say to the Lord, “Why is this happening?”
