Exodus 18 Commentary
Exodus 18 Commentary The highlight comes when Jethro (Moses’ father-in-law) advises Moses to delegate authority. The chapter has introduced us to an administrative structure.The origin of this structure is interesting. The LORD has been talking to Moses all this time. Moses is suffering but the LORD keeps quiet. Only through Jethro does the LORD speak.ContinueContinue reading “Exodus 18 Commentary”
Exodus 14 Commentary
Exodus 14 Commentary Pharaoh changes his mind. He pursues Israel. We have yet another sign from the LORD, but it’s not for Pharaoh. It’s God’s people. They must see the LORD in action. Israel needs this sign to face unchartered waters ahead. The miracle should encourage them to go ahead and face their enemies with easeContinueContinue reading “Exodus 14 Commentary”
Exodus 6 Commentary
Exodus 6 Commentary Israel swings between belief and unbelief. They briefly believe after a couple of miracles from Moses. They worship. After Pharaoh’s aggressive response, Israel goes back to doubt. They don’t want to hear anything about the name of the LORD. It has caused them trouble! Pharaoh doesn’t want to lose free labor. Israel’sContinueContinue reading “Exodus 6 Commentary”
Exodus 4 Commentary
Exodus 4 Commentary Moses is a logical man. Who would blame him? But the LORD God is gracious enough and attends to all the issues Moses raises. The LORD God knows exactly what will happen but gets involved in the “if” situations with Moses for Moses’s benefit. If they don’t believe ‘A’, go for optionContinueContinue reading “Exodus 4 Commentary”
Exodus 3 Commentary

Exodus 2 Commentary
Exodus 2 Commentary Chapter 2 does not mention God until the last verses when people cry out to Him for help. Strange indeed! However, the LORD God has been very active all this time, through the conception and birth of Moses. Moses ends up at the palace. He is raised by a maid, his mother,ContinueContinue reading “Exodus 2 Commentary”
Genesis 15 Commentary
Genesis 15 Commentary As we observed, the LORD God interacted with Abraham in many different ways. Yesterday, we held a strong opinion that Abram’s encounter with Melchizedek was God’s special visitation. Today, the LORD speaks to Abram in a vision. Now we understand how Abram defeated a combined force of 4 strong kings. God wasContinueContinue reading “Genesis 15 Commentary”
Genesis 6 Commentary
Genesis 6 Commentary The sons of God could easily be the line of Seth. This view may be supported by Luke’s genealogy which states that Adam was the son of God. If you jump the intermediaries, Noah was the son of God.This term could be used to distinguish Seth’s godly line from Cain’s ungodly lineContinueContinue reading “Genesis 6 Commentary”
Genesis 5 Commentary
Genesis 5 Commentary The holy script has an agenda. We cannot put a finger on it but we can tell from the discrimination found in this chapter. Yes, Adam did have many other sons and daughters. But the focus is on Seth. Seth had many other sons and daughters but the focus is on Enosh.ContinueContinue reading “Genesis 5 Commentary”
