SO insightful! Thank you Dr Wolf. God is revealing so much more as you go into the Hebrew. I am so appreciative! Thanking God for giving this to you to share as you are!
Pharaoh reminds me of running into problems and promising, “Lord, if you’ll fix this for me, I’ll . . . .” But then, problem fixed, promise forgotten.
I hadn't connected Egyptian animal worship to Israel’s plan to go into the wilderness to sacrifice animals. Maybe one lesson from that is whatever comes between us and God is a false god. Maybe another lesson is getting in people’s faces with our faith is no way to make disciples.
Your closing comments remind me that God can do miracles, but He’d rather work with people.
If Pharoah "deeply" repented why did he later chase them into the Red Sea ? Yes, Pharoah is a character in progress and shows the waffly nature that ends up searing conscience leading to hard heartedness. I agree going to the original language be it Hebrew, Aramaic, or Greek makes the bible so much deeper, rich and better understood. Shalom.
Sorry one quick question… how is the 1599 Geneva Bible compared to the 1560? My Bible app has the 1599 only… i have limited access and resources, but you’ve so inspired me to read the 1560…
Naomi, I also have just finished listening to your conversation with Tucker and I want to thank you for your incredible insights, your profound conclusions and interpretations and in particular the second half of that show that had me on the edge of my seat saying over and over again “yes yes yes!”
I never knew you as anything but vaguely a New York liberal writer, and I apologize for lumping you into an undeserved generalization.
I have been sharing with friends and family my similar conclusions regarding Satan’s control in the vacuum of irreligion in the west, at least for a number of years. However, of late with particular regard to the state of Israel, the Gaza invasion and the ongoing genocide of the Palestinians.
This has a lot to do with where I live and serve in medical missions (Beirut).
When I heard about all your friends and acquaintances abandoning you, my internal response was “shoot! I’ll come by and gladly spend an afternoon encouraging you and praying with you!”
We need to know who our true community granted to us by God, really is, and I think you are doing stupendously at communicating this and other essential truths, thanks for all of this and to God for your heart and mind and soul and strength.
Here’s an example of free will and knowing what’s going to happen.
If I put a candle in the middle of a room on a low table and let five little boys into the room, we all know what’s going to happen…. yet they all have free will. that’s my simplified version of free and God.
May God bless your voice and multiply it 7×7 that you would be heard and the truth would go forward in ALL that you say. May He strengthen your right arm and your legs that you’ll be able to stand in the power of truth and wisdom that he gives you.
When I pray, I prophesy. This is what I learned by reading the words of David.

LBJ said, "I come to you tonight with a heavy heart."

Beautiful! Thank you.😊

Don’t know where you find time to do this but thank you.

Naomi, thank you for the reading of God‘s word.
