In our last study in the Book of Exodus, we saw God begin the process of calling Moses to be the figurehead who would be the deliverer, the prophet, the instrument that God would use to deliver the people of Israel from their slavery in Egypt. They of course had grown in Egypt over a number of years, over 400 years and had gone there originally as a small family with favor from pharaoh because of Joseph and the good success and ministry that he had executed as the right-hand man of pharaoh, but Exodus tells us that a day came when a pharaoh arose who did not know Joseph.

Thanks for joining me on this study through the Book of Genesis. If you get out your Bible or turn to Genesis chapter 47, we're continuing to look at the life of Joseph together.

The Call of Abraham
(Genesis 12:1-3)
The passage tells us the Lord spoke to Abram. We aren't told how God spoke to Abram, nor does it tell us why God chose to call this man. I think it is unwise, though, to use this passage as an example of divine election for salvation. Abram received this call of God, not for eternal salvation, but to be a blessing to the nations.

When ancient Israel was set free from Egypt, they began to wander in the wilderness. Their leader, Moses, was called up to Mount Sinai to meet with God. There, Moses received directions on an elaborate tabernacle structure where the people could seek God. God gave Moses instructions for the tent itself and instructions for altars, furniture, the priesthood, and the ark of the covenant.

Plague after plague rained down on Egypt. God made it obvious; He was the God of the Hebrews. His judgment released upon the Egyptian gods and their worshipers and the Israelite people were saved.
