do you know the story of The Liberation of the people of Israel so come with me let's open the great [Music] book Moses was a beautiful baby but by the time he was born Pharaoh ordered all Hebrew male babies to be eliminated do you remember this story that we told you here at the great book if you haven't watched it yet as soon as this video ends you can click on the link on the description box to watch it Moses grew up and even though he was raised as an Egyptian he knew that his people

the Hebrews were being enslaved and one day walking through the lands of Egypt he stopped by a Hebrew slave and observed the work being done Moses got really sad for the mistreatment his people were being put through and right at that moment he saw an Egyptian hit a Hebrew slave what a terrible scene and mo Moses feeling all that sadness and anguish for his people was taken by an immense rage and took the life of that Egyptian letting that Furious impulse take over him and he hit the body of the Egyptian under the sand oh

no what a thoughtless attitude Moses could not hold down his emotions and ended up doing something so wrong and now what let's see what happened the following day Moses walked through the same area and saw two enslaved Hebrews fighting and asked one of them why are you hurting your companion and he responded who told you you're our leader what are you going to do to us kill us like you did with that Egyptian at that moment Moses felt afraid and thought they know what I did sometime later Pharaoh found out what had happened and scared

Moses ran away to live in the desert the lands of Midian on this land he he got married and started a family his wife was Zapora and his son was Jen he took care of the flock of sheep of his father-in-law Jetro the priest of Midian during this time the Pharaoh died and the Hebrew enslaved people contined to suffer more and more they called God for help and God heard their calling let's check out what happened one day Moses took his flock to the other side of the desert and approached Mount harb the Mount of

God during the night something totally unexpected happened Moses saw a burning bush but although it was on Flames it did not burn up he was impressed by what he was witnessing and decided to get closer as he got closer he started to hear a voice calling his name in a Bush Moses Moses and he immediately responded here I am and the voice said do not get any closer take off your sandals because you were stepping in holy sacred land I am the god of your father I am the god of Abraham Isaac and Jacob at

that moment Moses was afraid of looking at God but still God spoke to him I have been listening to the cries of my people and they have suffered too much in Egypt that's why I came here here to take them away from that place and put them in fertile and good land a land flowing with milk and honey so I came here to send you Moses so that you go talk to pharaoh and ask him to free my people and Moses responded to God who am I to talk to the Pharaoh and ask himself such

a thing but God told him I will be with you so don't worry and when you leave that place you shall come to this Mount and worship me still insecure Moses asked God and what about when I come upon the Israelites and they ask me your name what should they tell them and thus God said I am am what I am that's what you will tell them I am has sent me to you tell them as well that the Lord the god of your ancestors God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob sent me to you this

is my name forever and I'll be remembered by this name go to the authorities of Israel and tell them I heard their cries and I have seen their suffering in Egypt so that's why I came to save them and take them away from there and put them on fertile and good land a land flowing with milk and honey then you will go to the Pharaoh and you will ask him to free my people so they can worship me in the desert I know he will reject this request so that's why I will hurt the Egyptians

with several plagues and then he will let them go still I'll make them be nice to your people so that you don't leave empty-handed Moses still doubted it all and thus asked God but what if the Israelites don't believe me so God asked him what is that you're holding he responded a stick God said throw it on the ground and as Moses threw the stick on the ground something totally unexpected happened the stick became a serpent but Moses was afraid and ran away from it but the Lord told him put out your hand and catch

it by the tail and when he did what God commanded the serpent became a stick again and God said this is so that they believe that the god of Abraham Isaac and Jacob showed up to you now put your hand on your chest he obeyed and as he did his hand became lapus and God told him now put your hand on your chest again he obeyed and his hand became healthy again and God said if they don't believe you with the first sign they will do so with the second one and if they still don't

believe you get some water from the Nile River and throw it on the ground it will become blood but Moses was still very afraid to obey God's plan so he said but God I can't speak well you know I have struggled to speak since childhood and God told him who gave the mouth to the people isn't it me the Lord of all things now go and I'll be with you and I'll teach you what you have to say but Moses still in doubt said to the Lord oh God it will be better if you choose

someone else hey stop it pause the story for a second seriously guys who is already so fed up with Moses insecurities for godness sake he was talking to God himself how could he even doubt it but you know we ourselves do it all the time when God tells us to talk to a sad friend from school but we get embarrassed sometimes God tells us to pray for someone who's ill and we get insecured embarrassed incapable scared just like Moses m let's see what happened just like you and me reading through the story God became angry

at moses' attitude as well but God is gentle and merciful so that's what he told Moses you have your brother Aaron he will come to you he is a nice speaker you will tell him what to say and he will be your spokesperson and don't forget to bring your stick you will make miraculous signs with it finally convinced to obey God's calling Moses went to speak to his father-in-law Jethro I'll have to go back to Egypt and see if my people still live there Jethro blessed him and responded Go In Peace So Moses got his

wife and child and riding a donkey they went back to Egypt to obey God's calling meanwhile Aaron got the message from God that he should look for his brother in the middle of the trip Aaron found Moses and told him the amazing wonders God had told him to do so Aaron followed Moses to the land of Egypt upon arriving in Egypt Moses and Aaron reunited all the Israelites leaders and spoke to them they told them about what God had presented to them and that they were there to free them from the enslaving they were suffering

in Egypt they showed the signs that God taught Moses and the people people believed him when the Israelites realized that God came to rescue them they were very happy and praise the Lord so Moses and Aaron with the support of the people of Israel went to speak to Pharaoh wow Moses must have been terrified imagine having to go back to a place you have run away from so many years before Pharaoh was Egypt's King the highest Authority in all Egypt then they approached pharaoh and said so says the Lord God of Israel let my people
