Bible Question: In Exodus 4 verses 24,25,26 KJV, do these verses seem to be out of context with verses 23,27? The subject matter seems to change. |
Bible Answer: God commissioned Moses to a huge task, to accomplish this task Moses had to be above reproach. However he wasn't he had not followed God's commandment to circumcise his son. That matter had to be settled and settled it was before Moses proceeded to carry out the orders God had given him. I believe this is where some men called of God have had problems. Something in their past needed to be settled before they entered the ministry God had called them to and it wasn't. I believe this can lead to failure and never accomplishing all that God had planned. |
