  11. YHWH speaks to Moses • YHWH commands the Hebrews through Moses • Moses didn’t ask to be a Prophet…was chosen by YHWH • YHWH gives dreams and visions to Moses—speaks to him face to face; and calls him a faithful servant • Moses foretells of the coming Messiah—”a prophet like me” from among the Hebrews… listen to Him. • Jesus fulfilled Moses prophecy MOSES the PROPHET ATTRIBUTES of a PROPHET Numbers 1:1… Numbers 9:23 … Numbers 11:29 … Numbers 12:6-8 … Deuteronomy 18:15 … Acts 3:22-26…

  12. How do you know if someone is telling you the truth about something that he/she is trying to sell you? MY BEST RESPONSE

  13. MOSES the PROPHET EXODUS 3 & 4 GOD reminds Moses who He is GOD reminds Moses that He knows what they are suffering YHWH Redemptive God PHAROAH…who was evil, was allowed to become even more wicked so that God’s plan was fulfilled

  14. MOSES the PROPHET EXODUS 3 & 4 Nine times in Exodus the hardening of the pharaoh’s heart is ascribed to God (4:21; 7:3; 9:12; 10:1, 20, 27; 11:10; 14:4, 8); another nine times the pharaoh is said to have hardened his own heart (7:13-14, 22; 8:15, 19, 32; 9:7, 34-35). By using Romans 1:24-25, we can understand that the pharaoh alone was the agent of the hardening in each of the first five plagues. Not until the sixth plague did God confirm the pharaoh’s willful action (9:12), as He had told Moses he would do (see Romans 9:17-18 et al for further clarification).
