WHAT JESUS SAID IN THE BIBLE

EXODUS  CHAPTER  12 12:11 - The Passover, type of Christ our Redeemer ( EXODUS  12:1__28;  JOHN  1:29;  1  CORINTHIANS  5:6__7 ). ( 1 ). - The lamb must be without blemish, and to test this it was kept up four days ( EXODUS  12:5__6 ). So our Lord's public life, under hostile scrutiny, was the testing which proved His holiness ( LUKE  11:53__54;  JOHN  8:46 ).

The two signs, rod and hand, speak of preparation, for service:  ( 1 ). - consecration__our capacity taken up for God:  ( 2 ). - the hand that holds the rod of God's power must be a cleansed hand swayed by a new heart ( ISAIAH  52:11 ). 4:21 - Exodus  8:15,  32;  9:34. In the face of the righteous demand of Jehovah and of the tremendous attestations by miracle that He was indeed God, and that Moses and Aaron were His representatives, Pharaoh "hardened his heart," Instrumentally God hardened Pharaoh's heart by forcing him to an issue, against which he hardened his own heart in refusal. Light rejected, rightful obedience refused, inevitably hardens conscience and heart. Romans  9:17__24. 4:24 - Genesis  17:14. The context ( verse  25 ) interprets verse  24. Moses was forg
