Divine Kingship

The Pharaohs of Egypt believed that they were
descendants of the gods. They were considered
immortal and almost invincible by their people.

Discovered tombs contain outlandish claims of
their prowess, such as the following about
Ramses II: "He drove his chariot single-handily
into the enemy and slew thousands with his bow!"

Sure he did! (Where did he keep all those arrows?)

Consider now why Pharaoh said to Moses, "Who is
your God that I should listen to Him?"

Now you will understand why God said what he did
in Exodus 7:1. He declared that he was going to
make Moses a god.

What he meant was that he was going to make Moses
to appear AS a God before Pharaoh. Each time
that a miracle was performed, you will find that
Moses commanded Aaron to perform it.

So, it appeared to Pharaoh that Moses was a god
like him and Aaron was his prophet.

Pharaoh did the same thing. When Moses commanded
Aaron to turn his rod into a snake, Pharaoh commanded
his magicians to do the same thing.

Only one problem. Aaron's snake consumed all of
the others.

There is only one King of Kings and Lord of Lords!

His name is Jesus!

God Has No Match

No other God (if there were such a thing) can match
our God!

Elijah had a contest with the prophets of Baal to
prove this very thing.

He allowed them to worship Baal all day without the
slightest result. In fact, he got in a few digs
along the way.

Afterward, he repaired the altar, dug trenches, and
caused 12 barrels of water to be poured over it
before he prayed.

Fire fell, consuming everything, even lapping up the
water.

Interesting when you consider the fact that water was
the element that Baal was supposed to control. He
was known as "The Lord of the rain and the dew".

Baal was no match for Jehovah God! Whatever your
situation is today, it's no match for your God!

No matter how big the giant that is in front of
you, it is not match for your God!

God is greater!
