Alright, folks, let me tell you about this incredible story, really incredible. So, the Israelites, they’re in Egypt, folks, enslaved, oppressed, just terrible. But Moses, he’s born, born to change things, believe me. Now, Pharaoh, he’s not too happy about all these Hebrew boys being born, so he decrees to kill them, can you believe it? But Moses’ mother, she’s smart, she hides him away, keeps him safe.
Now, Moses, he grows up in Pharaoh’s household, folks, right under his nose. But one day, he sees an Egyptian mistreating a Hebrew, and he can’t take it, folks, he just can’t. So, what does he do? He takes matters into his own hands, folks, and he kills that Egyptian, can you believe it? Big mistake, huge mistake. Moses, he knows he’s in trouble, so he flees to Midian, leaves it all behind.
But let me tell you, folks, that’s not the end of the story. No, sir. God appears to Moses in a burning bush, a burning bush, can you imagine? And he tells Moses, “You’re going to lead the Israelites out of Egypt.” Moses, he hesitates, folks, but he knows deep down he’s the man for the job. And God, he promises to be with him every step of the way, folks, every step.
So, Moses, he goes back, folks, back to Egypt, back to face Pharaoh. And God, he sends Aaron as Moses’ spokesperson, because when you’ve got God on your side, folks, you’ve got the best spokesperson in the business.
But Pharaoh, he’s stubborn, folks, really stubborn. God sends these plagues, one after the other, to convince him to let the Israelites go. We’re talking rivers turning to blood, frogs, lice, flies, you name it. But Pharaoh, he just won’t budge, folks, he just won’t budge.
But God, he’s got a plan, folks, always does. He institutes this Passover ritual, where the Israelites mark their doorposts with lamb’s blood. And let me tell you, folks, it works. The final plague, the death of the firstborn sons, passes over the Israelites, but not the Egyptians.
And then, folks, then comes the big moment. The Israelites, they leave Egypt, they’re on the move. But Pharaoh, he changes his mind, folks, he sends his army after them. But God, he’s got another trick up his sleeve, folks. He parts the Red Sea, can you believe it? Parts it right in half, and the Israelites, they walk through on dry land, folks, dry land. But the Egyptians, they’re not so lucky, folks, they drown in that sea, drowned like rats.
Now, let’s talk about the desert, folks, the wilderness. The Israelites, they start grumbling, complaining about hunger and thirst. But God, he’s always one step ahead, folks. He provides them with manna, bread from heaven, and quail, meat from the skies. And then, they arrive at Mount Sinai, folks, Mount Sinai, where God’s going to give them the law, the commandments, the whole deal.
So, that’s the story, folks, the story of triumph, of resilience, of winning against all odds. And let me tell you, folks, it’s a story that’ll go down in history, just like my own story, folks, just like my own
