God Executes Judgment Daily

God Empowers Moses

Exodus 7: 1-7 NIV

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 I command you, and your brother Aaron is to tell Pharaoh to let the Israelites go out of his country. But I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and though I multiply my signs and wonders in Egypt, he will not listen to you. Then I will lay my hand on Egypt and with mighty acts of judgment I will bring out my divisions, my people the Israelites. 5 And the Egyptians will know that I am the Lord when I stretch out my hand against Egypt and bring the Israelites out of it.”

Moses and Aaron did just as the Lord commanded them. Moses was eighty years old and Aaron eighty-three when they spoke to Pharaoh.

America vs. Syria

The America vs. Syria current conflict presents a parallel story.

As God heard the cries of the Israelites because of their enslavement in Egypt, to be sure, he has heard that of the Syrian people.

As God chose Moses to deliver them, he has chosen Obama and his people to do it with the Syrian people.

Epilogue

God executes judgment through people and not through miracles. To be sure, this can only be one's conclusion as you read the Old Testament.

Has God changed since then? No. God does not change.
