Guest In Him Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Water from the Rock And all the congregation of the children of Israel journeyed from the wilderness of Sin, after their journeys, according to the commandment of the LORD, and pitched in Rephidim: and there was no water for the people to drink. Wherefore the people did chide with Moses, and said, "Give us water that we may drink." And Moses said unto them, "Why chide ye with me? wherefore do ye tempt the LORD?"

And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel. 7 And he called the name of the place Massah, and Meribah, because of the chiding of the children of Israel, and because they tempted the Lord, saying, Is the Lord among us, or not?

Guest In Him Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Israel Defeats Amalek Then came Amalek, and fought with Israel in Rephidim. And Moses said unto Joshua, "Choose us out men, and go out, fight with Amalek: to morrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of God in mine hand." So Joshua did as Moses had said to him, and fought with Amalek: and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill. Exodus 17:8-10 As soon as the people drank from the living waters that came from the rock, the Amalekites came and attacked God’s people. I. Gordon Amalek was a type of the flesh. He was descended from Esau; and Esau represented the carnal nature.’ A. B. Simpson This is the first battle that Israel is called to fight in. Before now, the message had been ‘stand still and see the salvation of the Lord.’ (Exodus 14:13). Now the message is ‘choose some of the men and go and fight the Amalekites.’ CHM Taken from jesusplusnothing.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Moses went out to meet his father in law, and did obeisance, and kissed him; and they asked each other of their welfare; and they came into the tent. And Moses told his father in law all that the LORD had done unto Pharaoh and to the Egyptians for Israel's sake, and all the travail that had come upon them by the way, and how the LORD delivered them. And Jethro rejoiced for all the goodness which the LORD had done to Israel, whom he had delivered out of the hand of the Egyptians. And Jethro said, "Blessed be the LORD, who hath delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of Pharaoh, Who hath delivered the people from under the hand of the Egyptians. Now I know that the LORD is greater than all gods: for in the thing wherein they dealt proudly He was above them."' (Exodus 18:6-11) Praise His Holy Name!

Every great matter they shall bring to you, but any small matter they shall decide themselves.
