Exodus 6: 1-8

Text: “Then the Lord said …” vs. 1
 “I am the Lord”    vs. 2
 

Introduction:

Our passage today also begins with “Then”
The question is, “When?”
See chapt. 5:22-23 (Read)
The Israelites were frustrated by the hardened Pharaoh and his men
over their hard labour.
They thought Moses was responsible for their misery
Moses too became frustrated, and send, “Is this why you sent me?”
Trouble upon trouble for Israelites since Moses (and Aaron) appeared before Pharaoh.
This situation looked like the peak of trouble.  It provoked God to speak and describe Himself.
