Absolute Impossibility - Absolute Possibility(Exodus 2:1~10)
But when she could hide him no longer, she got a papyrus basket for him and coated it with tar and pitch. Then she placed the child in it and put it among the reeds along the bank of the Nile(3).
Hymn #311 I Gave My Life for Thee(Unified Hymn 185)
After 400 years in Egypt, Israel faced a great crisis. The Israelites had fallen into slavery. An even greater threat came when a decree ordered every newborn Hebrew boy to be killed. Yet there was an even greater crisis, which was the fact that the value and power of the Gospel, the joy it brings, and the power of prayer had all vanished. Without knowing this mystery, people could only end up running errands for Satan. In this absolutely impossible situation Jochebed of the tribe of Levi, saw God’s absolute possibility. Thus, she sent her son Moses into Pharaoh’s palace in faith. Likewise, the hardships and crises you face today are in fact opportunities to experience and enjoy the blessings that are unprecedented and never repeated in history. What blessings of the Levite did Jochebed pass on to Moses?
1. A Time to Imprint the Light of Creation of the Gospel
When Moses was 80, God appeared to him and commanded him to proclaim the blood sacrifice before Pharaoh. Through Moses, the ten miracles arose, and on the day marked with the lamb’s blood, Israel was liberated. Through the five individuals(Moses, Jethro, Joshua, Caleb, and Rahab) who realized this, Egypt was defeated and the Israelites were able to enter into Canaan.
2. A Time to Plant the Power of the Throne(The Word and prayer)
On the way through the wilderness, the power of the Ark of the Covenant, the Tabernacle movement, the Tent of Meeting movement, the tent movement, and the three courtyards were all revealed through Moses. All these were fulfilled as the result of covenant restoration. Thus, wherever Moses went, the angel of the Lord went before him and also guarded him from behind.
3. A Time to Plant the Commission of Blocking Global Plagues
Moses spent 40 years in the palace gaining knowledge of Egypt and another 40 years in Midian restoring the Word while preparing himself. In the wilderness, he parted the Red Sea with only a staff, brought water from the rock, and led the Israelites even when they grumbled. This staff became a staff where God’s power was revealed.
To receive such blessings, you must also make a decision. First, you must be completely liberated from the power of darkness. Second, you must hold firmly to the Gospel, enjoy the spiritual realm, and stand as a professional who evangelizes. Third, like the figures of the Bible, Jochebed; Joshua and Caleb; Rahab; and David you must take part in the work of saving others.
