Let My Son Go

LET MY SON GO

A CURIOUS LOOK INTO MOSES, PHARAOH, AND THE BATTLE OF

SIGNS

The fourth chapter of Exodus is filled with many powerful life changinglessons. In this chapter Moses has received the call to deliver Israel. In spite of

the call of God he is doubtful that after a forty year absence in the wilderness,

he will be believed. He struggles and doubts that the Israeli people in bondage

will believe in his call. Moses has a history of trying to deliver Israel in natural

strength. The result was a dead Egyptian in the sand that causes Moses to flee

into the wilderness. The wilderness is a place of stripping the natural man of

Egypt. It is a place where natural strength is stripped, sandals are removed, and

the ground of natural strength is replaced with revelation of the God whose

name is I AM THAT I AM.

The living God has a method of battle. The Living and only true God isgoing to engage in war with the false gods of Egypt. The weapon he is picking

up is a man who has fled from his calling and has been stripped of natural

strength. How different from the church of today that has drawn to itself the

strengths of the world rather than the government of the cross that brings suchstrengths to zero and replaces such strength with a weakness that the power of

living God is perfected in. I saw a recent example of this at the Democratic

presidential convention where a Christian leader, despite the democraticplatform of abortion and sodomite marriages, sought synergy from the

Democratic Party on other issues. Synergy is Hinduism wherein two entities

seek to become one. This idea has invaded the church through C.F.R. member

Rick Warren of the purpose driven life. Can you imagine God telling Moses to

seek synergy with Pharaoh?

GOD DESIRES A SON NOT SYNERGY

Exodus 4:22 proclaims; And thou shalt say unto Pharaoh, Thus saith the

Lord, Israel is My son, even My firstborn. How curious is this statement to the

mind hungering truth! Here is a nation of slaves, some 600,000 men with

additional woman and children, being called a son by God. Moses is then

instructed by God to tell Pharaoh in the very next verse Let my son go. Gods

interests are always for a son and from the scriptures we learn that God calls anation of slaves His son. In this word we learn of the mystery of the corporate


2/8

body.

This nation of slaves, Israel, is about to become the church in thewilderness. In this Old Testament shadow there is application to the New

Testament church. Paul wrote to the Ephesians of the body of a Son, Jesus

Christ, not being systemized into error but rather growing into the headship of a

perfect man. That perfect man is the Son that God desires, the Son who leads

us out of slavery and into the truth that sets us free. He is the only Begotten Son

who proclaims that Before Abraham was I AM.

Jesus would manifest Himself as a sign unto Israel when He walked this

Earth as God become flesh, Immanuel. This is abundantly illustrated in the

Gospel of John especially. Let us now look upon the three signs God manifested

in Moses in the bringing forth of a Son in a corporate body, the church in thewilderness, Israel.

SIGN NUMBER I: THE SHEPHERDS STAFF AND THE SERPANT

The rod or shepherds staff was an instrument for leading sheep safely. God

did not choose catapults, spears, natural swords, horses, or chariots to deliver

Israel but rather a shepherds staff. I believe God did this because shepherds arean abomination to Egypt. I likewise believe that true pastors and not hirelings

are an abomination to satan. Such a staff leads sheep safely keeping them close

to the shepherds voice. The true lambs of the flock know the shepherds voice.

This staff is like the Word of God. The Lord shepherds us by His Word.

God tells Moses to cast it to the ground. The rod then becomes a serpent

that Moses flees from. Suddenly that which is for safety is now deadly. Perhaps

the serpent was a spitting Cobra. Such a Cobra spits in the eye of its enemyblinding its victim. Immediately after the blinding the cobra strikes and the end

result is that the neurotoxic venom enters the body and attacks the nervous

system rendering the body helpless. What a picture! Truly we face a serpent thatwishes to render the body of Christ helpless by spiritual blindness.

In the face of such danger what is Gods instruction to Moses? Moses is

instructed to pick the dangerous serpent up where it again becomes a shepherds

rod. Again, what a picture! Cast down that which is meant to protect and itbecomes an apostate serpent. Pick up that which has been cast down and the

protection returns.

SIGN NUMBER II: THE LEPROUS HAND OF THE BOSOM

The bosom or the chest holds that which holds the life of the body, the

heart. Life is in the blood and the heart pumps blood throughout the body. The

prophet Jeremiah proclaimed that the heart is desperately wicked above all

things and who can know it. This is so true for out of the human heart is a

gusher of sin that brings us to the sin that defiles us. Jesus clearly taught this in

the Gospel that it is not the outward that defiles but the inward heart. God

instructs Moses to put his hand to his bosom and the result is that the hand of

Moses becomes leprous. Leprosy destroys the body and even the house of theleper. Touching the natural heart will defile the body as well as the church

house.

God then instructs Moses to touch his bosom again. The second time the


3/8

bosom is touched it no longer defiles Moses body. In a sense God has brought

forth a new heart. This is the second sign that God gives Moses to show Israelits deliverance from slavery. The human heart brings man to slavery. Israel

must be delivered from its enslaved heart before it can be delivered from

slavery in the outward form. Surely when we are delivered by God from

following our hearts then a new non-leprous heart can be given us that is a heart

after God.

SIGN NUMBER III: WATER TURNED INTO BLOOD

The third unique sign is given if the first two signs are not believed; where

the Israeli people will not hearken unto Moses voice. God instructs Moses totake the water of the river and pour it upon dry land. When this takes place the

water that comes from the river will become blood. There is a two-foldapplication of truth that we can glean in this sign. First, the Nile holds thecrocodile which is one of the many creatures that demons manifest as gods.

The Nile is what Egypt worships as life, for from the Nile comes the waters

that enable agriculture to manifest. The Nile represents the natural life of

Egypt. Second, the Nile represents natural birth by water. It represents thebirth of something that is natural. The water supernaturally being changed into

blood is symbolic of a second birth that will come to the world that will

translate men from the slavery of a natural kingdom to be born upon eagles

wings into a heavenly kingdom.

EGYPTS WAR WITH THE THREE SIGNS OF MOSES

One thing that is most curious to me in this time of the great falling away is

how Christian people accept anything that is supernatural using the name of

Jesus as coming from God. There are now so many absolutely absurd things

that are being done in the name of Jesus that no more have their origin is God

than I have pink elephants nesting on the top of my house. Christians gather in

masses to hear men tell of being taken up into heaven to be operated on by

angels. These operations involve having their organs removed and gift boxes

placed inside of them while they are sent back to earth. Other foolishmanifestations include blasphemous spiritual punks that pretend they are toking

marijuana and saying that they are toking the ghost to rid Christianity of

religious spirits. The fact that these people are embraced by the masses shows

how deeply the American church has become a numerical manifestation withoutrelationship to Jesus and revelation of His greatness.

The Scripture teaches the antichrist will come with lying signs and wonders and

that is exactly how the Egyptians under Pharaohs magicians came against Moses.

Consider carefully with me and understand that there is not few but many of

Pharaohs magicians operating in the world today.

BATTLE NUMBER I: THE BATTLE OF THE ROD

APOSTASY BEGINS IN THE MINISTRY

As God begins His battle with the demonic powers of Egypt that hold Israel

in bondage, He does so with the rod of Moses and the first sign that was given


4/8

unto him. As Moses cast his rod before Pharaohs throne, he is combated with

the rods of Pharaohs magicians. Notice that Pharaohs musicians hadshepherds rods in a nation where shepherds were considered an abomination.

As these false shepherds cast their shepherd staffs before Pharaohs throne, the

staffs became serpents.

Although the Scripture does not state such, we can deduce that the children of

Israel had seen this manifestation. This manifestation would undoubtedly keep

them subject under the task masters in cruel bondage. It would be frightening to

see a slave who had slowed down in his work be struck and paralyzed by a

cobra as I formerly described. Because Israels population had grown to rival

Egypts, the Israelis were kept blind to the reality of being a son unto God by

the tormenting shepherds of Egypt with their serpent staffs.

I believe it is the same way in the church today as false shepherds subject

Gods people to their covetousness. They hold them in fear teaching that if theyare questioned with the Word of God the people are touching Gods anointed.Some Christians are afraid to question them with Scriptures because they are

afraid that a curse will come down upon them. To this lie I say, let the Word of

God consume the serpent. The beautiful part of the battle between Pharaohs

musicians and the authority of God is that Moses staff consumes the serpents.The power of the Egyptians to shepherd Gods flock by slavery is broken by

the shepherds staff. This is a great type of the Word of God.

BATTLE NUMBER II: THE BATTLE OF BLOOD AND WATER

After the initial battle of the shepherds staff, a second battle is engaged at the

time of the first plague that God brings down upon Egypt. In Exodus 7:19 Godinstructs Moses to take his rod and stretch his hands upon the waters of Egypt.

All the waters from every stream, river, and even manmade vessels turned into

blood. The mighty Nile, the source of life to Egypt became subject to blood.So it will be in the last day when God judges the nations, for God has made

available a blood that cleanses from all sin to flow upon the streams of

humanity. The glorious blood of Jesus Christ that cannot be overcome!

What is interesting was that the magicians of Egypt turned water into bloodwith enchantments. The result of this was that Pharaohs heart was hardened.

In the battle of the shepherds staffs we see the overcoming of false ministry.

In the hardening of Pharaohs heart, because his magicians could copy thework of God with enchantments, we see the picture of false conversion. I

personally believe there is much copying of ministry that does not lead to trueconversion. The last few decades of evangelism cannot remotely be compared

to when revival struck America based out of repentance and the mourners

bench. So few are truly converted but simply learn a watered down system of

false conversion. Recently a survey was done in one of Americas most popular

and largely attended churches. The Christian organization that conducted the

survey asked over 1,000 people attending the church what the Gospel indeed

was. Remarkably only one of a thousand that was in regular attendance at this

so-called super church knew what the Gospel was.Pharaohs magicians could turn the water into blood but there was no

deliverance. The blood of Pharaohs magicians could not bring a son out to

meet the Lord in the wilderness. So it is in the church world today. There is


5/8

conversion without repentance and new Christians without rebirth. The end

result is no deliverance.

BATTLE NUMBER III: THE BATTLE OF THE FROGS

The second plague that the Lord brought upon Egypt is that of frogs. What is

in the divine thought of God in bringing frogs upon Egypt? Frogs are very

unique creatures in that they are creatures of metamorphosis. Metamorphosis

involves translation. They are translated from that which dwells in one

environment of water, which is purely aquatic, to an environment which

requires gills for life. They are translated into a terrestrial atmosphere involving

lungs. There is a metamorphosis.The same is true of a Christian. Before metamorphosis of the new birth they

breathed of the earthen life, the soul of Adam, and bear the image of the earthenman. After metamorphosis they are born anew into an atmosphere where theybreathe that which is descending from heaven into their spirit man. They do

not bear the image of the earthen one, Adam, but they now come to bear the

image of the last Adam who is the Son of man Jesus Christ. He is the Lord

from heaven. Henceforth they bear the image of that which is heavenly.What is of great interest is what we find in Exodus 8:7. There we read that

the magicians did the same as Moses and Aaron. With their enchantments they

brought up frogs from the land of Egypt. Here is again a picture of false

metamorphosis because the Egyptian bringing up frogs would not hold the

Israelis in bondage. God was now working faith into the corporate son Israel

in the battle of signs.

PLAGUE NUMBER III: LICE

EGYPTS BATTLE LOST DEVIL BY DEVIL

Up to this point, Pharaohs magicians by enchantments could falsely

counterfeit the workings of God. However in the third plague the ability to

counterfeit is lost. Consider very carefully what the Holy Spirit of the living

God desires to teach us. Consider that man is made from the dust. At this timeGod directs Moses and Aaron in Exodus 8:17 to stretch out his hand with his

rod and smite the dust of the earth. Man is made from the dust of the earth.

From the dust God causes the dust of the earth to become lice in man and beast.

Anyone who has ever had children on a school bus will at sometime very

likely face a lice infestation. The lice always go for the head. The head must bethoroughly washed and all clothing and bedding cleaned. In releasing the lice

upon the heads of the Egyptians, God was sending a message. The headship of

the nations is as small dust. What is very interesting was that at this point,

Exodus 8:18 records that the magicians attempted to bring forth lice but they

could not. Satan has no power to create from dust.

PLAGUE NUMBER IV: FLIES

BEELZEBUB, LORD OF THE FLIES

In the fourth plague God now makes a division of Israel from Egypt. For the

small dust of nations cannot give headship unto Gods Son Israel. God is now


6/8

the head of Israel. Beelzebub is one of satans main generals. Because he is the

lord of the flies, the Lord sends down flies upon the head of the demon godwhom Egypt subjected Israel by.

PARENTHESIS

After Gods demonstration of overcoming the magicians and after His

demonstration of creating lice from dust and placing flies upon the empire of

the lord of the flies, Pharaoh begins to break. He tells the eldership of Israel to

go and worship the Lord in the wilderness, but he will not let the men, wives,

children, and the sacrifice to be released. Before this it was Pharaoh hardening

his heart, but now it was God hardening the heart of Pharaoh.

PLAGUE NUMBER V: THE GREVIOUS MURRAIN

Egypt at this time in history was much like India is today in its Hinduism.

One of the preeminent gods of Egypt was the cow. Egypt had a propensity to

turn animals mixed in man form into gods. Such was the Sphinx as well as

gods made up of dogs and falcons. This is the way the demons held Egypt in

false worship. These were the devils that held Gods called corporate son Israel

in bondage. God dealt with all these false gods by sending grievous murrain

which was a plague upon the animals of Egypt that were worshipped as gods.Lambs were not considered gods and that is why the Egyptians held shepherds

in contempt. What is most interesting at this time is that all the cattle of Egypt

died, but in the land of Goshen where Israel dwelt no cattle died.

PLAGUE NUMBER VI: ASHES BECOME BOILS

THE GOD TYPHON HELPLESS

In Egypt one of the gods that was worshipped was the god Typhon. Typhon

would receive human sacrifices to keep away the plagues from Egypt. One can

only wonder how many slaves were sacrificed to typhon. In this false demongod we can now understand why plagues would come to Egypt in that such

plagues would show Typhon as a false god. From the furnaces of humansacrifice and in the sight of Pharaoh, Moses and Aaron took ashes and sprinkled

the ashes toward the heavens that rule. The result was boils, a picture of sin.

Boils break forth in the body from the blood, the blood of our adamic origin

outside of grace.

PLAGUE NUMBER VII: HAIL

In this plague God sent upon Pharaoh extreme cold. Psalm 78:47 tells us thatthe cold weather destroyed the vines and the sycamore trees were destroyed by

frost. Egypt is a country near the equator and is not known for cold. When the

cold front sent by God hit the warmth there was thunder and the hail fell as the


7/8

fire of God ran on the ground of Egypt. As the Zion of the north touched falling

Egypt, the fire of God was opening the path of deliverance to Israel.

PARENTHESIS #2

After the plague of hail, Exodus 10:9-11 records that Pharaoh will let the men

and women join the ministry in going to sacrifice unto God in the wilderness.

This however is unacceptable to God because Pharaoh will not let the children

and cattle go. This is often the thought of devils in church life when the

children will not follow their families in serving the Living God but rather

choose to serve idols, Pharaoh desired the children as a new generation of

slaves and Israels cattle to be their future god. For this God justly hardenedPharaohs heart.

PLAGUE NUMBER VIII: LOCUSTS

In the locust one can find a deep lesson. The current church that is

compromising the Gospel to join the world in a peace movement needs deeply

to learn the lesson of the locust. Those blinded by the Purpose Driven Life aswell as the Kingdom Now theology that seeks the synergy of world peace needs

to pay close attention to the locusts. The locusts upon Egypt were not natural

locusts. These locusts came to torment Egypt. The very people the devil used

for dominion in this world, he now tormented as they no longer served his

purpose. So it will be in these last days with the compromised apostasy. The

Revelation speaks of a locust army that comes to torment the people of the

kingdom of the antichrist. The leader of that army is the angel of the bottomlesspit whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abadon and in the Greek tongue

Apollyon. It should also be noted that this plague of locust was subject to

Gods command to leave Egypt.

PLAGUE NUMBER IX: GROSS DARKNESS

In Exodus 10:22 we learn that God brings upon Egypt a darkness that was sothick that the Egyptians could not see one another or rise from the place where

they abode. Despite the great darkness, all the children of Israel had light in

their dwellings. As gross darkness covers the earth, we need not fear for aglorious light will come upon His church, the light of life, Jesus Christ whose

life lights men.

PARENTHESIS #3

After the ninth plague, Pharaoh released Israel to go with ministry and the

families to the wilderness to worship God. However, Pharaoh would not let the

cattle go, for he still held to a false deity of demons.

PLAGUE NUMBER X: THE DEATH OF THE FIRSTBORN

THE REBIRTH OF A NATION BY A PASSOVER LAMB

JESUS OUR PASSOVER


8/8

Gods original explanation to Pharaoh was to let His people go or the

firstborn of Egypt would die. Egypt represents the world. The firstborn is all ofmankind that is born in sin. The Almighty God would send a plague upon

Egypt that would cause the firstborn of Egypt to die unless they came under the

blood of the lamb. The blood covenant was available to the Egyptians who

would let go of the gods of this world and would come under the covenant

represented in the lambs of Israel. That covenant brings us into a second birth.

That second birth is by the blood of the Lamb who is Jesus our Passover. He is

the firstborn among many brethren that replaces the firstborn of the cursed

Adam. Paul proclaims in the New Testament that Jesus Christ is our Passover.

He is our Unleavened Bread. He is our First Fruits. He is our Pentecost. He is

the soon coming Feast of Tabernacles and the Bridegroom of the MarriageSupper of the Lamb.
