Welcome to the 10 Minute Bible Hour Podcast.

Right now we're going through the entire Bible to understand it as one big cohesive story.

We're covering one book each day, and this one's about Exodus.

Hey everybody, it's Matt, this is the 10 Minute Bible Hour Podcast, and we're going through

the whole Bible, one book per day, until we're done, so this time around we get the second

book of the Bible, and it's another big one.

This is Exodus.

It's written by the same guy, Moses, but the difference here is that Moses was relying

on a bunch of sources when he wrote what we looked at in Genesis because that all happened

way before he was alive, but this stuff in Exodus, Moses was there for all of that.

Well, I should say almost all of that because the story starts before he's alive with a

political crisis.

Several hundred years have gone by, roughly 400-ish, since Jacob on his death bed gave

his blessing to Judah to say the snake crusher, the one who's promised to make everything

better and defeat the problem of sin, defeat the curse.

He's going to come through your line where you're screwed up son Judah, and then Jacob dies,

and then Joseph dies, but Exodus opens, saying that a bunch of time has gone by, and everybody

forgot.

The King forgot about Joseph and his contributions and the family there, and now it's

almost like the same thing that happens early on in the book of Genesis.

There's been a new multiplication.

This family has grown like what was promised Abram, you're going to be a great nation.
