What Keeps You From Claiming the Freedom God Offers? | Biblical Series: Exodus Episode 4



Thank you for joining us as we journey through the great book of Exodus. We recorded 16 episodes, plus a finale, over two ten-day sessions, one in 2022 and one in 2023, releasing them initially on the DailyWire+ platform. After some careful deliberation, the DW+ executive team and Dr. Peterson decided to make them available to everyone on YouTube. We will therefore release one per week for 17 weeks, each Monday, and then keep them all there for a few weeks, before returning to the paywalled system (although episode 1 will remain permanently available).

Often, our freedom of choice keeps us from claiming the freedom God offers. As the round table in Exodus chapters seven through nine discuss, Pharaoh’s refusal to let the Israelites leave is at the center of the conversation. Power, the desire to change, and the significance of the plagues are also discussed.

Thank you very much to all the participants: Dr. Os Guiness, Dr. Douglas Hedley, Dr. James Orr, Dr. Larry Arnn, Gregg Hurwitz, Ben Shapiro, Dr. Dennis Prager, Dr. Stephen Blackwood, Jonathan Pageau, and Dr. Jordan B. Peterson.

And thank you very much to the DailyWire+ crew for having the vision and generosity of spirit to make this Exodus seminar freely available to all who are interested. Perhaps you might consider a DailyWire+ subscription; it’s a bastion of free speech. We have great content there with much more to come. Click here to learn more: https://bit.ly/3Q0lXj7

  1. Resentment and ego should never meet. Most every atrocity perpetrated against another, not every disagreement, defense or war, but cold retribution is when resentment meets ego. The frailty of the ego allows resentment to grow to it's worst possible limits. Like a politician calling for something to be done, anything, but SOMETHING must be done, then the worst possible will be done.

  2. I also think it's no coincidence that the frog plague and their subsequent eradication preceded the insect plagues. That removed the natural counterbalancing force that would've lessened the impact of the insect plagues.

  3. Hi, in chap 12 The Blood represents life-the lamb/ram is a god which by the Israelites demonstrates that their faith in God is real because they have killed Egypt’s god. In normal times that would have meant the death penalty.
    They were sacrificing everything by publicly daubing lamb’s blood on their doors

  4. Just a note about italics in the KJV Bible. It may have been mentioned before my post and if so, I apologize for the following redundant comment.

    As I understand it the translation committee, commissioned by KJ, would come across text or phrases that had no English meaning or grammatical flow. So the panel would interject a word or phrase to complete the translated sentence. The word or phrase used would be left in italics so the reader would know that for the lack of a better word or phrase they chose this one. Through mine own studies The choice of words or phrases from Genesis to Revelation, does not undermine the work of Almighty God with sinful men.

    Thank you so much for these studies. You have an awesome panel.

  5. Is everyone resentful about something?
    And to what degree is their resentment made up in their minds?
    There must be varying degrees of it.

    Is the person who says their not resentful towards anything just being naive ?

  6. Regarding the group guilt of Egypt: I'm not sure it was necessarily group guilt at all. Egypt was Pharaoh's responsibility. It was up to Pharaoh whether he was going to cause his people to suffer the plagues that God warned him were coming via Moses. The blood of all of Egypt was on Pharaoh. Just as Putin bears the responsibility for the negative consequences of the sanctions levelled against Russia (and by extension upon innocent Russian civilians).

  7. For those wondering: the italicized words in the King James Version of the bible are ADDED words in order for the translation of the Hebrew (or Greek for that matter) to be more easily understood.

    Reply
  8. The italicized words in the King James Version are English words added by the translators, without direct representation from the original language, to make the intended and implied meaning of the original message flow from original language into the English sentence structure.

  9. Without explicitly saying it, you all always come to the point that God is about RELATIONSHIP. He focuses on the heart. Whereas earthly tyrants (regarding the difference between servitude to God and to Pharaoh) focus on the deed.

  10. You have to willingly seek a relationship with God, and I believe that then – and only then – will you experience the goodness that He brings to your life; the blessings you've received; the reaping of the relationship's benefits

  11. With all due respect, Jordan
    I replay all of these discussions every day

    I keep hearing you reference Darwinism
    “ Tree, dwelling ancestors”

    And then I hear you pay homage to Adam and eve
    Sooooooo

    Which camp are you in? ???

  12. Words are italicized in the KJV Bible when, essentially, there's a poor translation. Either that word is added, or the meaning of the text has been altered slightly, or things have been changed to make sense in English.

  13. Regarding the "negative miracle" comments around 52 minutes, God does everything for his pleasure (as he should since he created all of this), it hardly matters if we interpret any given miracle as "positive" or "negative" — we are God's pets. Do we delight him or do we not?

  14. I was very surprised that no one mentions the significance of the snake being the first sign to Pharo. As the panel said, all the plagues had something to do with Egyptian gods, but the snake is the most significant. There are 2 Egyptian snake God's, Apep and Nehebkau. Nehebkau is the Judge of the afterlife, this is God warning the pharo that he is the eternal judge, tread carefully. The second and most important to me is Apep; The God of chaos, also the eternal enemy of Re (The diety incarnate through Pharo). This is God warning pharo of what would come if his demands aren't met (chaos) also declaring Pharo his mortal enemy. God also shares his image with the snake when it is raised in the desert to heal the Isrealites. The shadow of God the Son being raised up to cleanse the word of its sin.
    -God bless the panel for doing this study!

  15. The Bible does say every one on the earth will have a chance to get to know God. . There's a serious spiritual warfare going on around the world, God is allowing all things come to pass as it says in the Bible, before he steps in and the fact that one of the greatest of our time JP is studying and preaching his word to the world without even knowing it 😊 love these breakdown studies!!
    God bless everyone in these hard times

  16. The way I understood the hardening of Pharaohs heart was a little less as a result of Gods direct influence on Pharaoh but that his heart was hardened towards God because The Pharaoh Had always been god before moses came, and to for he who believed himself to be god to have his authority challenged. Especially by one of the people who he had enslaved. He must've resented the very idea of a God that could inspire moses to act in the way He did.

  17. Gratitude is the opposite of resentment.
    In order to reach up to heaven, you must be rooted in the depths of hell.
    A miracle does not mean a positive event.

    Great takeaways for this guy.

    God bless you all for doing this and all reading this.
