BIBLE TEXT: "And God spake unto Moses, and said unto him, I am the Lord: And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name Jehovah was I not known to them. And I have also established my covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their pilgrimage, wherein they were strangers. And I have also heard the groaning of the children of Israel, whom the Egyptians keep in bondage; and I have remembered my covenant. Wherefore say unto the children of Israel, I am the Lord, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will rid you out of their bondage, and I will redeem you with a stretched out arm, and with great judgments: And I will take you to me for a people, and I will be to you a God: and ye shall know that I am the Lord your God, which bringeth you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians. And I will bring you in unto the land, concerning the which I did swear to give it to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; and I will give it you for an heritage: I am the Lord." (Exodus 6:2-8 KJV)

 

BIBLE TWEET: God, who had made Himself known to both the patriarchs and to Moses, by appearing to them, which is a prerequisite to knowing God, was about to make His name known to the world by what He was about to do to Pharaoh in Egypt for the enslaved people of Israel.

 

BIBLE TAKEAWAY: No one can know God to whom God has not made Himself known. To be acquainted with God, God must appear to us, and to see who God is, God must show us what He can do.
