| Summary: | CONCORDIAN Friday, Nov. 4, 193a' Plagues and Exodus Are Subjects of Discussion at Weekly Bible Lectures Bondage of Israelites Is Compared to Life of Christian What was the purpose of the bond-age of the Israelites? What was the purpose of the plagues? Why did God harden Pharouh's heart? These three -questions constituted the basis for the fourth Bible lecture presented by the Rev. A. W. Knock/Tuesday evening, October 25. Typical of a Christian's experience Js the bondage of the Israelites. The purpose of our tribulations here on earth Is to try and test our faith, and to nifiko im better Christians. The Israelites hud been in Egypt a great many yeai;s before the Pharoah came •who did not know Joseph. The bond-age was God's means of strengthen-ing and unifying his people, thus pre-paring them to leave a land they were growing to love. Reasons (jhen for Bondage Several reasons for this bondage Included the hardening of Pharoah's lieart that God might bring the child-ren of Israel out of Egypt by great judgment, that Pharoah might know that th£re was none like the God of Moses, and that In future generations <he Israelites might tell their children what God wrought in Egypt, so they might glorify Him. When Moses and Aaron came be-f "<"> rhr"-oah the second time and Aaron turned his rod into a serpent, the magicians present did likewise, fcut they failed to notice that the rod of Aaron swallowed up their rods. The magicians were in league with Satan and God permitted Satan. through these men, to perform this, but they could not turn the serpent tack to rods. Satan cannot make «vil good. Plagues Come in Groups God sent ten plagues to the Egyp-tians. The first nine came in groups of three; the first two were announ-ced and the third was unannounced In each group'. The magicians could perform only those that were announ-ced. Jehovah used the natural condi-tions prevalent,in Egypt as a basis for thrt*e plagues, but He increased these cc.ri'.ions to make very severe trials. Following a logical sequence the plagues were directed against the favorite gods of the Egyptians. Up to the sixth plague Pharoah hardened his own heart, but from then on his heart is as stone. This experience Is true today. God gives every individual a chance to hear His call, but a time always comes when <3od will seal the denial "I will not" on the lips of an individual. After that he cannot change. Concordia Students Give Musical Program from Moorhead Radio Station Oonoordia students presented a fc"!f r.ovr p-usical program over sta-tion KGKK.

GLETNB MOORHBAD Saving Power of Passover Is Called Type of Christ Before discussing the Passover it-self as revealed in Exodus, the. Rev. A. W. Knock, in his fifth lecture which he delivered on November 1, spent a short time on the com-promises of Pharoah. How many people have stopped to realize that Pharoah is a type of Satan's tricks? Pharoah was very sly and clover in his answers to the entreaties of Moses to leave Egypt. After the fourth plague. Pharoah called Moses and Aaron, and told them that they would be allowed to make sacrifices in the land. There were so many religions in the land already, that Pharoah decided <)ne more would make no difference. Satan, too, wants Christians to live In the land with the rest of the world, not separate from It, as the Israelites wished to do. But Moses realized that animals were held sacred in Egypt, and that if the Israelites sac-rificed animals there, they would be immediately stoned by the Egyptians. Pharoah Tries to Compromise Pharoah then suggests that they leave, but for only a short way. Satan desires Christians to be as much Uke the world as possible, and yet call themselves followers of Christ. They won't be further away than the devil can grab them. Following the ninth plague. Pharoah decided that he would permit all the Israelites to leave the land, but, they should leave their property. Satan says: be Christians but don't give the Lord your property, or make Christ-ianity your business! God Makes Passover Provisions - God made all the provisions for the Passover, and he used remarkabel In-sight In doing so. The time for the Passover was to be the beginning of a new calendar. The years in bond-age, typical of the years a soul lives in sin, were not to be counted. Con-cerning the lamb that the Israelites were to eat, God was very specific. There were to be enough people gathered In every household to eat an entire lamb, typical of taking Christ wholly into ourselves. The lamb was to be perfect, even as Jesus was without blemish and without spot. God even demanded the Israelites to find the lamb on Jho tenth day. and keep it until the four-teenth to make sure it was not dis-eased. The blood of the lamb was holy, even as Christ's is holy, and was to be the means for saving the eldest son of each family which placed the blood on the doorpost. At midnight occurred the tenth plague. The Israelites must sacrifice a lamb or suffer the death of the eldest son. the plague affecting the whole of Egypt. The Israelites had faith, and faith was obedient In full-tilling the requirements God set be-fore them. COMSTOCK TAXI Phone 1717 Phone" Office: Comatock Hotel E. T.
