Exodus 6:12-13, 18, 20

And Moses spake before the Lord, saying, Behold, the children of Israel have not hearkened unto me; how then shall Pharaoh hear me, who am of uncircumcised lips? And the Lord spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, and gave them a charge unto the children of Israel, and unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt.

Note Moses uncircumcised state at the time of his calling. Notice also the charge given them on behalf of Pharaoh and the Hebrews. The problem is some of you are dwelling in places you ought not. Some of you say, 'you mean to tell me God will make the deliverers like the parolees.' Yes, I sure do. See how those in the circumstances found therein are charged to flee the captivity. If they do not, then the Word is not from God and these deliverers neither. It is important to see that the people were not let go not because they did not wish to be. Such a position suited their taste for fine things and their need to be ruled over. You might not understand. But it is almost like that abusive relationship you keep going back to.

Some of you ought to tell your situation that God said to let his child go. Others of you who are being kept by the deliverers must obey the charges; for thus have you been taken captive by another even that of Christ your Redeemer as well. So, we take every thought captive unto Christ. How many know that his burden is better than any borne is this old world. For so came he to deliver us. Notice the picture of Christ borne here. This is why all things must portray him for they themselves are not. Rather they speak of another. Some of you mistake the picture and the example for the real thing. Could it be that is why the nation of Israel and their Islamic family members are in bondage even to this day. You got so hung up on the past that you missed the calling of God today. See God has come already to let his people go. That calling matters not if you wear his ankle bracelet of circumcision or no. For has he not redeemed your heart, your life, and your whole self. Look now, he is God all by himself.

Some of you need a coming out of Egypt today. Come out of bondage to sin and yourself also while he be near. Today is the day of salvation for those who hear his voice. If you believe these texts, receive the sign of Aaron, Jonah, and Jesus today. For is he not the God of the same. What was once dead now lives again and what was once captive is in bondage no more. For those of you who have been chosen as deliverers, see the no more of God. Have a situation no more, have your people in bondage no more, and for the love of God, have them in Egypt no more. Has he not promised to bring his people back from the lands of captivity, from the east, west, north, and south unto himself. Come now, unto his house. There is a feast upon the table, that of her who defied him. All you children, know nothing among you now but the salvation of the Lord.

And the sons of Kohath; Amram, and Izhar, and Hebron, and Uzziel: and the years of the life of Kohath were an hundred thirty and three years. And Amram took him Jochebed his father's sister to wife; and she bare him Aaron and Moses: and the years of the life of Amram were an hundred and thirty and seven years.

These are only the partial genealogies of several families in the house. What then you might ask of the others. What makes these so special. My best understanding is that these have been set apart by lineage and descent. Also, there are practices of those which without as by Genesis 17:9-15. See, the circumcision was first given as an outward sign of an inward charge. So then, it is given to all borne in a house or bought with money. Let us introduce the concept of human slavery into the mix along with that of the kinsmen redeemer. Let us say that certain ones intermarried and practiced as both Gentile and Jew. So then, the real mystery is found not in who Aaron is but rather where that sister watching the basket came from. In that day they practiced something known as kinsman redeemer except in cases when they could not or were otherwise unwilling.

Note that the Lord had no fault with the children of Israel marrying outsiders. All their fore-fathers of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob did so. Rather the problem lay in the fact that these were not truly God's people. They neither worshiped nor served him in body, spirit, or truth. So then, the circumcision mattered little but instead the outlook of the heart. I will address that little matter of circumcision shortly. However, it should be seen that God had called these his people and integrated them into the Hebrew family. Indeed, the Levites of whom Moses sprang were one of their twelve tribes. Remember, the twelves tribes that made up the people each came from one of Jacob's sons. Now I know some of you refer to your children as a test and a pest. That may be especially true when they do not do as they ought. But that is not what is important right here. It should be seen that a life lived for God resulted in a full one with many fruitful years.
