And yet because of what God has done through my life, people respect that work that God has done through me, though it doesn't make me anything. And so He does. II.

They began to live as though God was their servant, rather than they were God's servants. What does calamus mean in Hebrew?

But there is more than this in the work of Christ which broke the power of Satan, "that by death he might destroy him that had the power of death." Hence it will be found that in the doctrine of the New Testament there is never the allowance of such a thought as that salvation is only the beginning of the blessing. ], "Thus though the name YHWH existed well before the time of Moses, the meaning of that name was not revealed until the time of Moses." It was not enough to be the almighty shield of the children as of the fathers: no matter what their weakness and exposure in the midst of jealous and hostile and wicked Canaanites, He had been the protector of the wandering patriarchs. Now it was undeniable. Commentary, explanation and study verse by verse. What does He Himself delight in? It was under the name Jehovah that God visited Abraham (Genesis 18:13,17).

"Whatever the situation or need (in particular, the redemption from Egypt, but also future needs), God will become the solution to that need." Otherwise, there could have been no point at all in mentioning the names of those patriarchs ten times upon those occasions when Moses was using the name.

Thus, as it is an axiom with these men, that there can be no prediction of events which God alone could foresee, and as this song clearly anticipates what was not realised till the reign of David's son, it must be as late as his days at least; and Exodus 14:1-31 is pronounced to be later still, because the hand of the Jehovist appears in it, not in the fifteenth! Thus in Romans 5:1-21 salvation is very clearly referred to, and put in full contradistinction to what God has wrought for us by the blood of Christ. A God perfecting what he had begun, and finishing his own work. Moses had been trying what he could do, and could effect nothing. Though there can be no stable foundation without the sacrifice of Christ, in itself it does not give, but only lays the basis for, the full blessing of grace in redemption. Jehovah shall reign for ever and ever."*. Dr. D. says (Introd. (1.) It is not merely a good hope of being delivered, but that the person himself by grace has no doubt about it.
