Summary

April 4-10

Why are the Children of Israel continually complaining and murmuring against Moses? Though they’ve seen the miracles that brought them out of Egypt, and then watched the Red Sea part so they could cross on dry ground, they still say: “Would to God we had died by the hand of the Lord in the flesh pots, and when we did eat bread to the full; for ye have brought us forth into this wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with hunger.” Jeffrey M. Bradshaw, well-known for his extensive commentaries on the Book of Moses and Genesis, joins Scot and Maurine Proctor today to talk about strength or fear, firm or wavering in the face of our personal Red Seas.

0:22.8	podcast where today we'll study Exodus chapters 14 through 17 and the miraculous moment
0:29.6	in the history of the children of Israel where the Lord parts the Red Sea and they pass through

1:27.3	Thank you very much. You know originally I started out thinking about I'm I've always another
1:33.7	hat I wear is somewhat very curious and I guess that comes in the scientific side of my
1:38.6	me on the on the authenticity of scripture and the characters of scripture and the history
1:45.6	behind scripture the archaeology and there's just tons of questions there that we could explore

1:58.0	essay I read that Maureen shared with me earlier I've just been more focusing on the personal side.
2:04.4	So I think we'll post some articles on that in the coming weeks about Exodus and I would
2:10.4	recommend one book to you if you really want to find something that has kind of the latest scholarship
