Who is this God, who is the Lord, that I should obey Him? - The Way God Works (20 of 22)

Whether you’re willing to admit it or not, we all have a bit of Pharaoh is us. When Pharaoh said, who is the Lord that I should obey Him and let Israel go? I don't know the lord and I will not let Israel go.

Then Moses and Aaron say, please let us go or the Lord may strike us with plagues or with the sword because of disobedience. God had commanded them to go and do this, and they're trying to get cut loose and go, and the king is saying, no way!

The king of Egypt said, Moses and Aaron, why are you taking the people away from their labor? Get back to your work! In the Hebrew language this text reads something to the effect of, Moses and Aaron, why do you require the people to Sabbath? The word Sabbath is there which means REST, and it’s translated TAKE PEOPLE AWAY FROM THEIR LABOR. He’s asking, why do you make the people Sabbath?

Here's basically what happened. Before the Exodus, God said to his people: if you want to be set free from Pharaoh's slavery, then you've got to rest from your Labor on the seventh day. Understand, the fourth commandment is the only commandment that requires man to do nothing. And, you have to do nothing at a SPECIFIC TIME! You don’t get to choose the time.

The other nine require man to do something. The fourth commandment is a commandment where God says, do not work; don't do on the seventh day what you normally do in the other six days. I've given you six days to do everything you have to do, but stop it... cease from it... rest... don't do it... on my holy day!
