Judeo-Christian Clarion — Egypt, The Patriarchs

We want to take a closer look into Egypt since it has had a significant role in Israel’s history.  Genesis 9:18 tells us this,  “Now the sons of Noah who came out of the ark were Shem, Ham, and Japheth; and Ham was the father of Canaan.” It is believed by Scripture that Noah’s son […]

Last month we read about Abraham and his journey to Egypt. Now we want to move forward with Isaac. Genesis 26 :1-6 says this, “Now there was a famine in the land, besides the previous famine that had occurred in the days of Abraham. So Isaac went to Gerar, to Abimelech king of the Philistines. […]

We have been looking closely into the relationship between Egypt and Israel. We stopped last month with Joseph interpreting Pharaoh’s dreams, and so we want to continue looking at this story. I think you will find it very interesting.  Genesis 41:33-37  tells us what Joseph’s plan would be to bring the people through the famine. […]

We ended last month with the two dreams that Joseph had when he was younger. It seems that these two dreams showed Joseph was in power and his family were all bowing down to him. Pharaoh has just made Joseph one step away from being Pharaoh of Egypt. So let’s continue on with the story. […]

Last month we read the reuniting of Joseph and his family. We want to end with this. Why did Joseph take the Egyptians’ money and land, and he even enslaved them? Could Joseph have had aspirations of one day becoming the Pharaoh himself ? Remember he was second in command. That is one thing we […]

Last month we read that Moses, this “good” child, became the son of the Pharaoh’s daughter. Exodus 2:11-14 goes on to tell us this, “ Now it came about in those days, when Moses had grown up, that he went out to his fellow Hebrews and looked at their hard labors; and he saw an […]

Last month we left off with the king of Egypt dying and God looking upon the suffering of His people. Exodus 3:1-6 says,  “Now Moses was pasturing the flock of his father-in-law Jethro, the priest of Midian; and he led the flock to the west side of the wilderness and came to Horeb, the mountain […]

Last month we read about how God called Moses and told him to go back to Egypt.  So now we find Moses back once again in Egypt. Exodus 4:29-31 starts us off,  “Moses and Aaron brought together all the elders of the Israelites,  and Aaron told them everything the Lord had said to Moses. He […]

Last month we read that Moses was sent to Pharoah, but instead of things getting better, things only got worse. Now we will start at Exodus 7:1-5, “Then the Lord said to Moses, “See, I have made you like God to Pharaoh, and your brother Aaron will be your prophet.  You are to say everything […]

The story of freedom is a great story no matter when it happens, and for whom it happens.   Galatians 5:1 tells us, “ It is for freedom that Messiah has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.”  Israel is going to be […]

We saw last month that Israel kept the Passover, and at the sight of the blood the death angel passed over their homes. We ended with God telling His people that only those who were part of the covenant could keep the Passover. You may say, “See that is why we do not keep the […]

In the previous months we have gone from Abraham to Moses. We saw that it was mainly famines that brought the Patriarch to Egypt. It was a famine that brought Israel and when they left over 400 years later, Egypt’s crops and livestock were in ruins. Joseph was made second in command and Israel was […]
