ShellPANELIST
Wonderful, yes.
ShellPANELIST
So the answer to our last quiz question, which was, who gave Moses the advice to delegate when his workload was getting too much for him? The answer was Jethro, his father-in-law.
ShellPANELIST
Oh, his father-in-law, not his wife.
ShellPANELIST
No, not
JulesPANELIST
his wife, father-in-law.
JulesPANELIST
Jethro, of course.
ShellPANELIST
Yay.
ShellPANELIST
All right, our last quiz question.
Ed MarksGUEST
Then as it matures, it perfects the vessel that God raised up for his purpose.
Ed MarksGUEST
So the Lord used Jethro to perfect Moses.
Ed MarksGUEST
In the same way, we need to allow Christ as life to grow in us, to mature in us, and then we can be perfected by God and be raised up by God to carry out God's purpose.
Ed MarksGUEST
And we can also be used by God to perfect others.
Joshua SelmanHOST
Are we together now? He was given a new name, Zaphathania, and then Potipharah, the priest of On, was his father.
Joshua SelmanHOST
The third priest in the Bible is Jethro.
Joshua SelmanHOST
Jethro.
Joshua SelmanHOST
Jethro is, that's Exodus chapter 2, I believe verse 16.
Joshua SelmanHOST
Jethro was the priest of the Midian.
Joshua SelmanHOST
He was the father-in-law of Moses.
Joshua SelmanHOST
Am I right with that? Okay, now the priest, that's right, of Midian.
Joshua SelmanHOST
Sixteen.
Charles StanleySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Verse one, chapter three of Exodus.
Charles StanleySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
"Now Moses was pasturing the flock of Jethro, his father-in-law, the priest of Midian.
Charles StanleySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
He led the flock to the west side of the wilderness and came to Horeb, the mountain of God." Now watch this.
Charles StanleySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
"And the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a blazing fire from the midst of a bush, and he looked, and behold, the bush was burning with fire, yet the bush was not consumed." Now listen, he'd seen lots of fires, lots of bushes burning, but he'd never seen a bush that burned and burned and burned but was not burned up, not consumed.
Mark DriscollHOST
Because there's only like three of these guys left.
Mark DriscollHOST
When they came home to their father, Rael, also called Jethro, he said, how is it that you have come home so soon today? You gals got done with your work early, they said.
Mark DriscollHOST
An Egyptian delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds and even drew water for us.
Mark DriscollHOST
He's doing all the hard labor, watered the flock.
Scott MillerGUEST
Evening.
Scott MillerGUEST
Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro, his father-in-law, the priest of Midian, and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of Elohim, even to Horeb.
Scott MillerGUEST
And the angel of Yahweh appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush, and he looked, and behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.
Scott MillerGUEST
And Moses said, I will now turn aside and see this great sight, why the bush does not burn.
speaker_0NARRATOR
He had fled in shame and fear after murdering an Egyptian who had been beating one of his Hebrew brethren.
speaker_0NARRATOR
Now he was just a humble shepherd, tending to the flocks of Jethro, his father-in-law, in the wilderness of Midian.
speaker_0NARRATOR
Yet despite the years of quiet isolation, a restlessness still stirred deep within his soul.
speaker_0NARRATOR
He could not forget the plight of his people, the Israelites, who groaned under the lash of Egyptian taskmasters.
Mai AuroraNARRATOR
Among the Midianites, it happened to Moses as of old to Jacob on his flight.
Mai AuroraNARRATOR
At the well, he was able to protect the daughters of Reuel, the priest of Midian, against the violence of the shepherds who drove away their flocks.
Mai AuroraNARRATOR
Invited in consequence to the house of Reuel, he continued there and eventually married Zipporah, the daughter of the priest.
Mai AuroraNARRATOR
This and the birth of his two sons, to which we shall presently refer, is absolutely all that Moses himself records of his 40-year stay in Midian.
Mai AuroraNARRATOR
But we are in circumstances to infer some other and important details.
Mai AuroraNARRATOR
The father-in-law of Moses seems to have worshipped the God of Abraham, as even his name implies Reuel, the friend of El, being the designation which the patriarchs gave to God as El Shaddai, God Almighty.
Mai AuroraNARRATOR
This is further borne out by his after conduct.
Mai AuroraNARRATOR
Reuel is also called Jethro and Jethro, which means excellency, and was probably his official title as chief priest of the tribe, the same as the imam of the modern Arabs, the term having a kindred meaning.
Gary KeeseeHOST
This guy that ran the shepherds off of the water hole for you guys, girls to get the sheep in there.
Gary KeeseeHOST
So Exodus chapter three, Moses says, Moses was tending, this is verse one, tending the flock of Jethro, his father-in-law, priest of Midian.
Gary KeeseeHOST
And Acts 7, 29 says, he fled to Midian where he settled as a foreigner and after 40 years had passed.
Gary KeeseeHOST
So we meet him in Midian with sheep and we see him after 40 years with
EhabHOST
Amen.
MinaHOST
So Ihab, we've seen chapter 18, Jethro visiting Moses, Moses with huge humility-
EhabHOST
Unbelieving [laughs]
MinaHOST
... bowing down to his father-in-law, and then listening to his voice, to the advice that he has given him, which was very strange to hear that Moses is hearing advice from Jethro.
MinaHOST
But it was a sound advice, and we learn from that how we can take counsel from people-
EhabHOST
From others, yes
