The Whole Council of God. Father Stephen holds a Ph.D. in biblical studies, and it's an Orthodox

priest serving at Archangel Gabriel Orthodox Church in Lafayette, Louisiana.

Chapter 14, verse 1. Now, all of the Church in Lafayette, Louisiana.

Chapter 14, verse 1.

Now, all the congregation lifted up their voices and cried, and the people wept that night.

Why are they reacting this way?

Are they all millennials?

No.

No, the reason is they've just journeyed.

They left Egypt. They journeyed through the desert. Now they get here. And now they're hearing, oh, man, we're not going to be able to go into that land after all. So what are they thinking? What are we just stuck out here in the desert? What's going to happen? Like, we had this plan. Seems like the plan's just gone awry awry yeah he didn't immediately have them go down

the coast because they would have run into the philistines and they would have chickened out yes

god knows who these people are and what they're like yeah verse two all the children of israel

were murmuring against moses and aaron and the whole congregation said to them would we had died in the children of Israel were murmuring against Moses and Aaron, and the whole congregation

said to them, would we had died in the land of Egypt or in the desert? Oh, I wish we'd all die.

Egypt or out the desert. Why did the Lord bring us to this land to fall in war? Our wives and

children shall be plundered.

It is better for us to return to Egypt.

They're like, oh, we're all going to die.

They're going to take our wives and kids as slaves and probably kill them also at the same time somehow.

We should just all go back to Egypt.

So he said to one another, let us select a ruler and return to Egypt. Forget this Moses
