the next sermon i haven't heard
"Then the Lord said, 'I have seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt...Come, I will send you to Pharoah that you may bring forth my people, the sons of Israel, out of Egypt.' But Moses said to God, 'Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh, and bring the sons of Israel out of Egypt?' He said, 'But I will be with you; and this shall be the sign for you, that I have sent you: when you have brought forth the people out of Egypt, you shall serve God upon this mountain.'" - Ex. 7a, 10-12 (italics mine)
This all takes place between GOD first calling Moses' name and Moses saying the Israelites won't listen to him. This is before GOD tells Moses HIS Name, that the Israelites will believe him. This is before and independent of Moses casting down his rod and it becoming a serpent. GOD here promises Moses that HE will give him a sign that GOD has called him to this purpose. The interesting part? The sign will come after Moses has done it. How's that for a challenge to faith?
