After beholding the magnificent manifestation of Almighty God through both natural and supernatural phenomena on Mount Sinai, while also hearing His thundering, trumpet-blasting voice declare a summation of His moral laws in "The Ten Commandments," the trembling Israelites begged Moses to continue to be their mediator with God so they never had to hear Him speak directly to them again. God was pleased with their reverential respect for Him, and it was on this very occasion that He gave Moses the...

"The Ten Commandments" (also known as "The Decalogue," meaning "The Ten Words") is a legal code written simply and concisely, but completely, for they address every moral aspect for human conduct concerning: (1) true faith, (2) true worship, (3) reverence of God, (4) time for God, (5) reverence for authority, (6) reverence for life, (7) purity, (8) property, (9) the tongue, and (10) contentment. They are conspicuously absent of local or national peculiarities or prejudices, and are as appropriat...

This is the account of the amazing miracle that occurred near Rephadim at the Rock of Horeb, when God told Moses to use his rod and strike the Rock. When he obeyed, water came gushing out to save the people of death by thirst. This is such a beautiful picture type of the Lord Jesus, the Rock, being stricken by the rod of God's wrath against sin for us. When He was stricken, the Living Water of His Spirit came gushing out for the spiritual benefit of all who accept His free invitation to drink of...

The most important question about manna is how it so beautifully pictured the Lord Jesus, Who outright declared Himself to be the True Manna from Heaven following His miraculous feeding of the 5,000. He gave a number of reasons why the miracle of Manna in the wilderness, although great, was inferior to His far greater offer to feast eternally on Him, the True Bread of Life. Manna was the shadow; He is the Substance. In this lesson, we dip into a quick study of the Lord's "Bread of Life Sermon" o...

The Lord purposedly led Israel to places of need so she would learn to lean, in faith, on Him to supply her needs. He does the same with us! He leads us to places of "want" to develop and stretch our faith in His grace, which is sufficient no matter what the need is. In times of humanly insolvable problems, we can respond in one of two ways: (1) we can grumble and mumble and play the "blame-game," or (2) we can go to the Lord and ask Him to resolve the situation, resting in the fact that He will...

The ten plagues on Egypt were over. The tenth one, which was the death of all firstborns without lamb's blood brushed on the doorposts of their homes, was "the straw that broke the camel's back". Pharaoh finally consented to let Israel, God's firstborn "son" (Exodus 4:22), depart from his land to service the Lord. Israel heard how they were to henceforth commemorate the original Passover experience with an annual Feast of Passover, as well as a Feast of Unleavened Bread (Exodus 13). They were ne...

SO MUCH TYPOLOGY in this lesson regarding the tenth plague on Egypt, which was the death of the firstborns not "covered" by the blood of the Passover lambs. The tenth and final plague is the apex of Egypt's plagues, for it succeeded in compelling Pharaoh to let Israel go. Who exactly was "the destroyer," who swept over Egypt, taking the firstborns without "the blood" of the Passover lamb on their doorposts? You might be surprised!

Even after witnessing the incredible miracle of Aaron's rod/serpent swallowing the rod/serpents of Egypt's wise men, magicians, and sorcerers, Pharaoh did not change his mind about God or His command to let the Hebrew slaves leave Egypt. Tragically, his sinful pride would bring great sorrow to himself, his people, and his land. It was time for Almighty God to supernaturally intervene in Egypt's history to make Himself known to her. In this lesson, we discuss God's first nine plague-judgments on ...

The title for this lesson, "The Good Serpent," may catch you thinking that is an oxymoron, but there was a good serpent in the Scripture (and it sure wasn't Satan). This is a fantastic study - one guaranteed to get you realizing how wonderful the Word of God truly is - on so many levels. This will be an hour worth your time.

In this lesson, we discuss the "holy ground" event of Moses' burning bush encounter with "I AM THAT AM I" and his commission to return to Egypt and reassure Israel's elders that the God of their forefathers remembered His covenant promises. He heard their cries and had come down to deliver them from their bondage. Very interestingly, there were at least seven specifics presented in the burning bush episode that portray the redemption work of Christ on the cross, and you will be amazed to hear ab...

Oh my! Take off your shoes, for you will enter holy ground with this study! You will likely also learn a whole lot more about Moses than you knew before . . . better than that, however, will be what you learn about the One Who spoke from the midst of the burning, yet unconsumed bush!

This is one lesson you do not want to miss! Joseph, in immense emotion, revealed himself to his brothers, and it is one of the most precious, Kleenex-on-hand episodes in Scripture! Not only is there the beautiful scene of Joseph's Christlike forgiveness of the very brothers who threw him in a pit after stripping him of his robe and selling him for pieces of silver (sound familiar), but there is the heart wrenching, tearful reunion with his younger brother Benjamin and the even more emotional sce...

One day, in the divinely planned parallel to the marvelous true story of Joseph's emotional reunion with his brothers, there will be another scene like it - except infinitely more wonderful and emotional. That coming scene will involve the Fulfiller of all Joseph typified, the spiritual Saviour of Israel and the world, the Source of the True Bread of Life; the One Who went the great distance to call His wandering brothers back to the Father! Although despised, envied, mocked, sold for mere piece...

The life of Joseph expands over 14 chapters of the first book of Scripture, which means God must have serious reasons for devoting so much space and detail to one man's life. He does, and one reason is to highlight divine providence, which is abundantly manifested in Joseph's life, from beginning to end. Another purpose is God's use of Joseph as a prophetic type of the Lord Jesus and His two advents. Joseph's early years of "toil and affliction" picture the sufferings and rejection of Christ at ...

This is the account of Joseph's years in Potiphar's house and, then, because of a false accusation by the flirtatious Mrs. Potiphar, his years in prison (and his acquaintance with a butler and baker). For no fault of his own, Joseph lost everything he worked so hard to gain all those years by his conscientious stewardship, dedicated service, and loyalty to his boss, Potiphar. Yet, we never hear a word of complaint from his lips. The same is true of his time in prison, as well as his extended tim...

Joseph is the first God-chosen deliverer of His people (also Moses, Joshua, some judges and prophets) to serve as a prophetic type of the Great Deliverer, Jesus Christ. Joseph's life pattern was that of Christ's: rejection before reigning; suffering before splendor; gloom before glory; humiliation before honor; the lowest pit before the highest pinnacle! This is the first of 5 lessons on Joseph's dramatic life in which we discuss 82 ways He pictured Jesus! Joseph just may become one of your favo...

This lesson is about Jacob's wrestling match with the preincarnate Christ at the Jabbok River. From the womb, Jacob had wrestled with those around him. He grabbed Esau's heel as they were emerging from their mother's womb; he grabbed both the firstborn birthright and firstborn blessing (though he was the second-born), even deceiving his father to gain the blessing. After a two-decade struggle with his conniving Uncle Laban, Jacob still tended to rely more on "self" than on the Lord. What he had ...

The humorous subtitle for this lesson is "Jacob Gets Old Laban's Goat," and when you read the end of Genesis 30, you will understand. Jacob finally out-maneuvered his Uncle Laban, who had certainly tricked and deceived his double son-in-law (yes, I said that right) on numerous, far more serious matters (i.e. switching brides on him; wageless service for 14 years). This lesson is about both the "wrestling match" between Jacob and Laban and the "wrestling match" between two sisters, Leah and Rache...

Although Jacob did not understand the full significance of his "Ladder Dream," he knew the main message: there is divine provision for access to Heaven! The prophetic picture of Jacob's ladder dream is that there is a way (just one ladder) to Heaven. It is so interesting to find that the Identity of Jacob's Ladder was "unveiled" centuries later by none other than the incarnate Ladder-Lord Himself. In fact, it was one of the first Old Testament types of Himself He revealed in earthly ministry! An...

The struggle between the twin sons of Isaac, Esau and Jacob, continues to this day with their descendants! It is fascinating to find how history helps us understand the present!

This lesson centers on the account of a father (Abraham) giving his trusted servant (Eliezer, whose name means "God's Helper" or "Comforter") the critical mission of finding a bride (Rebekah) for his son (Isaac)! This love story of a marriage made in Heaven is beautiful, but it is "deeper and wider" than just the surface level account of how Isaac met Rebekah! In fact, that love story is so typologically and theologically deep, it takes the 27 books of the New Testament to map it all out! You wi...

Abraham's almost sacrifice of Isaac in the land of Moriah (which means "Clear Vision") is the "mountain peak" of prophetic person-types of the redemptive work (the actual Sacrifice) of God's only begotten Son, which also occurred in the land of Moriah! If you want to be genuinely confident about the Truth of Scripture, listen to this study on "The Gospel of Moriah," and think about the amazing prophetic truth spoken by Abraham when asked by Isaac, "... where is the lamb for the burnt offering?" ...

The title for this lesson comes from the Hebrew meaning of the name Isaac - "laughter". It was a time of laughter when the "miracle boy" was conceived in the womb of a barren and post-menopausal woman. His birth foreshadowed the even greater miracle conception of Christ (born of a virgin). In this presentation, we discuss the life-transforming experience of Hagar (Egyptian handmaid of Sarah) when she met the pre-incarnate Christ at a wilderness well. We also discuss the contextual circumstances ...
