As soon as Yang Rui heard Moses' words, he said angrily: "You are the person I have chosen, whether you want to or not, you must act according to my will, if you don't go, there will be punishment waiting for you." If you go, I will be the Savior of the Israelites, and my messenger in this world, and you will have eternal life. ”

Yang Rui saw that Moses was still hesitating and said, "Don't hesitate, the Pharaoh who wants you to die is no longer alive, and the new Pharaoh doesn't know who you are, as long as you do what I say, I will also give you the eloquence to convince those elders of Israel." ”

Moses thought for a long time before he said, "My lord, then, as you wish, I will go back to Memphis to Pharaoh." ”

Yang Rui handed the staff that had once turned into a serpent to Moses and said, "Go in peace, do good miracles, and I will protect you, and you need not be afraid." ”

Moses returned home and told his father-in-law, Reuel, about it, and when Reuel heard this, his eyes were filled with reverence for God.

He said, "Go, son." Since God is calling you to do such a great thing, why should you hold back? ”

Moses said, "But I don't know if it's real, maybe it's just a hallucination, or maybe it's a dream." ”

Reuel said, "God has chosen you, and there must be a reason for him, and you will be fine if you do what God wills." ”

Moses asked, puzzled, "Is it really worth it?" ”

Reuel said, "Take Zipporah with your children, for you will eventually leave here and return to Egypt to lead the Israelites out of this land to the new homeland that God has spoken, and I look forward to you leading the Israelites to pick me up with them." ”

The next day, Moses took his wife, Zipporah, and son, Geshun, away from Midian, where he had lived for many years, and rode on a donkey in the direction of Memphis, from which he had fled.

At this time, the banks of the Nile were bustling, and the Israelites were building imposing tombs for the new pharaoh under the watchful eye of Egyptian overseers.

As Moses walked along the huge construction site, watching his people toiling to the sound of whips and curses, his heart was filled with a strange bitterness.

At night, the construction site fell silent, and the smell of unleavened bread and the singing of Israeli women putting their children to sleep wafted into the air.

Moses walked to the tent where the elders lived.

When the leaders of the tribes of Israel saw a shepherd come in, one of them asked, "Who are you, stranger?" ”

Moses said, "I was an Israelite, and then I became an Egyptian, but in the end I was an Israelite." ”

Someone recognized Moses and said, "You are the son of the dead Pharaoh's sister, Moses, why did you come back here after you killed an Egyptian and fled for many years?" ”

Moses sat beside the elders and said, "God brought me back to the Nile!" ”

"God?" When the elders heard this word, they looked at each other sideways and exchanged ears.

Moses affirmed, "Yes, it was God who brought me back here." ”

"But we Israelites have no God."

Moses said, "Now that we have it, God created everything in the world, and we are His people, and God sees the suffering of our Israelites and is willing to bless and grace us." ”

Someone said, "We do not believe that there is a god in this world, and that Pharaoh of Egypt is our God, and we are ruled by him and subject to him." ”

Moses said, "But he does not bring us happiness, on the contrary, he gives us all our suffering." Why should we fear such a God? Moreover, although he has supreme power, he is only a mortal after all, and he cannot be compared with God at all. ”

Someone asked, "Moses, you say there is God, but where God is, how can you prove that God exists?" ”

Moses smiled and said, "At first I had the same doubts as you, but the moment I saw God, I no longer doubted God's existence. ”

"You have to prove to us that God exists before we can believe you."

Moses threw his staff to the ground suddenly, and the staff immediately turned into a viper, raising its head and spitting out a scarlet core, glaring at the elders of Israel.

The crowd erupted into a cry of terror and retreated, fearing that the serpent would attack them.

But Moses calmly grabbed the serpent's tail, and the serpent immediately returned to the same cane as before.

Someone recovered from the horror and said dismissively, "These are just little tricks, any magician will." ”

When Moses saw the man with his hands in his arms, he said, "Take out your hands and look at them." ”

The man strangely pulled his arm out of his bosom, only to find that his arm was covered with bedsores, and his skin and flesh were rotting, and he could almost see the white bones inside.

The man screamed in fright and shouted at Moses, "What kind of magic have you done to me?" ”

Moses said, "Put your arm back in your bosom and take it out again." ”

The man did so, and when he found that his arm was restored, Moses smiled and said, "This is not a demon, this is a miracle to let you know that God exists." ”

The eldest elder shook his head and said, "The Israelites have suffered so much, but God has never appeared, and I still don't believe what you say." ”

When Moses saw the jug beside him, he asked, "The water here comes from the Nile." ”

Someone nodded and said, "Exactly." ”

Moses poured the water from the jug on the sand, and immediately the water turned into bright red blood and flowed everywhere, and there was a faint commotion in the earth, as if a monster was about to break through the earth.

The elders were all terrified. They fell to their knees and said to Moses, "Moses, the angel of God, we believe in this miracle." Believe that God is here to deliver us suffering Israelites this time. Please also give us instructions. ”

Moses said, "Go back to your tribes, and tell your people about God, that they may know that God exists, and that you will come and deliver them." And be ready for everything we can do when I have God's direction. ”

Someone asked, "What is God going to do?" ”

Moses said, "God asked me to lead you out of Egypt to a new homeland, a homeland that belongs to us Israelites." ”

"Does that place really exist?"

Moses nodded and said, "God says it exists, it is there waiting for us, do not doubt it, follow God, and we will eventually be free from suffering." ”

But someone asked, "But Egyptians, will Pharaoh spare us Israelites?" Their army is so strong that it has swept away too many nations, and we Israelites are too weak to compete with the Egyptians, how can we leave this land. Pharaohs will not let us go, and they will surely slaughter us when we are leaving. ”

Moses said, "Don't worry about this, the Egyptians will be punished by God, and I will go and negotiate with Pharaoh to get him to agree to our departure from Egypt." ”

Someone said: "The new Pharaoh is tyrannical and a complete madman, and if you ask him to do so, he will surely kill you." ”

Moses stood up and said, "Prepare to get up and leave Egypt, and leave the rest to me." ”

Moses stepped out of his tent and walked toward the palace complex in Memphis, and although he swore before the elders of Israel, he flinched when he saw the tall statue of Pharaoh in front of the palace.

Because he knew that he was going to try to challenge the most authoritative mortal in the world, a king who could decide his life and death. What will happen to you if you make such an impudent request in front of this king? (To be continued.) )
