GOLDEN TEXT-"Whoovr shall aialt
himself shall be humbled: and Whosoever
haU humble himself sball be exalted."
R. V. Matt. 2S:tt , ..' -
While this Psalm Is a succinct state
ment of all that Is contained in Exo
dus, chapters 7 to 12, still no teacher
can judge himself as having made
proper preparation who has not stud
ied carefully the earlier record. ' Be
ginning with those of discomfort the
plagues become more and more se
vere until the last and the crowning
one, the death of the first born, caused
the Egyptians to thrust out the Israel
ites with baste and gladness, laden
with an abundance of ,rspoll." Pharaoh,
trusted in the superior greatness of
the Egyptian gods, he also bad great
pride in hia absolute power and hated
to lose the profitable service ot his
Hebrew slaves. Over against this was
God's right to demand the wor
ship of his chosen people,' God's pro
fuse warnings to the proud Egyptian,
and the inevitable outcome ot the
man, tribe, or nation who sets up hu
man will In opposition to the plana ot
an Omnipotent God. . True thanksgiv
ing and praise are based upon "His
marvelous works" (v. 6 R. VJ ,
Israel Made 8trong.
' I. The Induction of - Israel Into
Egyptf vv. 23-25. By "Israel" in verse
23 the Psalmist does not refer to the
nation but rather to the supplanter
who became "Israel a prince." Hla
induction into Egypt Was in accord
ance with God s purposes and plan.
yea, his specific command, Gen. 46:2-7,
Acts 7:9-15.' God Increased the de
scendants of Israel greatly In the land
of Egypt see v. 24. At the same time
God made those, same descendants
stronger than their "adversaries" on
account of the fact that Jehovah
fought on their sidesee Rom. 8:21,
II. The Exodus, of Israel From
Egypt, w. 26-38. Now the Psalmist la
referring to- the nation. In Exodua
there are recorded ten plagues, here
there are mentioned but eight The
plague of the murrain of beasts And
the plague of boils, the fifth and the
sixth, are here left out for some rea
son best known to the Psalmist.
God saw the afflictions ot Israel but
sends relief through human v agents.
Moses was God's "servant" (v. 26)
and, Aaron "His chosen" (I Sam. 12:6)
so also is every true believer. - Their
work haa to "shew" (v. 27) God's won
ders in the land ot Egypt (Ham)
They were to shew "His" wonders,
signs, the. "Words of His signs" (R.
V. marg l, and none of their own. In
other words they were to be the vis
ible embodiment of God's character
and power. - '." : -
;'. Worshiped the Nile. '
The Psalmist then turns to the first
of the historic plagues. The Egyp
tians were so dependent upon the Nile
that they personified It and worshiped,
it. They" bad shed the blood of the
Israelites and were given'' blood -to
drink, aee Rev. 16:5, 6 and Gal. 6
The third plague was directed againBt
the goddess "Hekt" queen of two
worlds, and who was represented by
a frog-like figure, see Ex. 8:8. It was
after this calamity that Pharaoh tem
porized. The third and fourth plagues
are grouped together In verse 31. God
often uses very little things to humble
the great ones of earth. Life is made
up of trifles, but life lsno trifle. Pha
raoh had proudly boasted of his agnos
ticism (Ex. 5:2) but when he sought
to try conclusions with God and said,
"Neither will I let Israel go" God let
him wrestle with frogs, lice and flies,
Wte thus see a man setting himself
against God who Is not able to over
come these smallest of pests. As we
have mentioned, the ; fifth and sixth
plagues are omitted from this record,
hence, the plague mentioned in v. 32
is In reality the seventh (Ex. 9). It
was a rebuke to the God ' of the air,
and from Rev. 8:7 and 16:21 we learn
that it is to be repeated in the end of
time.""-
Though Israel was free from the
eighth, the plague of .locusts (v. 34)
they didk suffer from a like experience
in later days, Joel 1:1-7. - These small
pests, can turn a .fruitful land Into a
barren waste. . ' -
But the culminating plague (v. 36)
was the smiting of the first born. Evn
Israel could not escape this calamity
except by the previous shedding of
blood, Ex. 12:3-18. God gave Pharaoh
ample warning, Ex. 4:23.. . Refusing to
yield nnder the lesser judgments, God
brought this supreme penalty, smiting
all the first born; "the beginning of
all their strength" (R. V. marg. v. S6).
III. The Teaching. Before, the
plagues Pharaoh was warned; before
the second one he was given an op
portunity to repent and because of the
suffering thereby he relented and ask-
( for a respite.. Refusing to declare
od's greatness " (Ex. . 8:10) ' "he
Pharaoh) made heavy his heart" (Ex.
15), an act ot his own, not an act of
od. No warning is given of the third
1-igue for - Pharaoh . had broken
aith. rhe acknowledgment upon the
Diirt of his magicians of a power great-
than their own did not serve as a
oh nlng and he continued in his re-
