Moses’ Bartizan (Exodus 2:1-10)
Summary
▣ Introduction_ The Three Eyes for Seeing Problems and Crisis (an accurate diagnosis)
The next generation of Israel was all about to die. A whole-nation crisis had come.
The eyes of those who see crisis – those who saw that crisis had come and that more crisis was coming gave up, but Jochebet, who saw it not as crisis but as God’s opportunity, changed the times.
1. Of course – it was God’s beginning of making something tremendous out of an Israel that had lost the covenant.
2. Inevitable – Moses, the child of parents who knew worship and the gospel, was about to die. At this time there is something God wants to do to me.
3. Absolute – God’s plan
1) She knew that the only place Moses could be saved was inside the royal palace of Egypt.
2) Before sending him into the royal palace, it was to plant the bartizan of the Lord, the bartizan of the throne, and the bartizan of the covenant into Moses.
▣ Main_ God’s Preparation – The Bartizan Planted into Moses
1. Spiritual Preparation 300%
1) The bartizan of the gospel – Engrave completely the covenant and the gospel that topples the darkness. With the bartizan of the gospel, all darkness can be broken.
2) The bartizan of the covenant and the word that would happen in the future – Enough to record Genesis, this was the bartizan of the covenant and the word that would happen in the future, planted into Moses.
3) The bartizan of prayer – This is fulfilled when prayer ascends to the throne and meets my soul.
2. Preparation of the Future Field 300%
1) Education received in the royal palace (40 years) – He received an elite education.
2) Midian (40 years) – He recorded Genesis, the answer that will never disappear.
3) The wilderness (40 years) – Because the bartizan of God had been established, one staff moved the whole world.
▷ Moses’ mother let Moses know that worship is the most important thing in my life. It became a timetable that saves the world.
3. The 300% Completion of Evangelism and Missions
1) “Go and offer the blood sacrifice” – When God called Moses, He spoke of what Moses had heard from his mother. This is what turned into world missions.
2) The ten plagues completely overturned the culture of Egypt’s darkness.
3) “I will lift up My mighty hand and be with you. Say that you are going to offer the blood sacrifice.” It was fulfilled exactly as said.
▣ Conclusion_ When the word connects with the soul and the throne, when the word is fulfilled, something unstoppable happens.
1. God planted the bartizan of the covenant into Jochebet first.
2. The bartizan of the covenant planted into the young Moses – it absolutely never disappears and is fulfilled. The flow of the word rides upon it.
3. The bartizan of the covenant planted into Joshua and Caleb “I will be with you just as I was with Moses” – it never wavered at all.
▷ What we see and what God sees are different. Once you grasp the covenant, every door opens. This bartizan must be planted into the Remnant. This blessing must be seen and passed on.

▣ Introduction_ The Three Eyes for Seeing Problems and Crisis (an accurate diagnosis)
Thank you.
※ The eyes of those who see crisis – those who saw that crisis had come and that more crisis was coming gave up, but Jochebet, who saw it not as crisis but as God’s opportunity, changed the times.
Anyone feels danger when death draws near. At such a time we must see how the Bible has it. Or you may encounter a crisis in the course of your life. At such a time you need to be certain, and the question is how the Bible has it.
The content of today’s passage is that the next generation of Israel was all about to die. It’s not an ordinary event. It became a crisis for the whole nation. Many people thought, “Crisis has come.” Others saw it as, “An even bigger crisis is coming.”
It wasn’t just one woman who saw it that way. It was seen from within one household. “This is not a crisis” — that’s how she saw it. And that too, from a woman named Jochebet. That’s remarkable. As you all know, this is what changed the times. Most people had simply given up: “Crisis has come. An even bigger crisis is coming ahead.”
Today we must first make that accurate diagnosis. When making a diagnosis, what should we look at? There are three things we must look at. Before we go into the Main part, when we look at a problem, when we look at a crisis, we need eyes to see it, and I’m saying we must look at it through three things.
1. Of course – God’s beginning of making something tremendous out of an Israel that had lost the covenant
The first thing, as you all know, is “of course.” In the days of Joseph there had been tremendous glory in Egypt. As a long time passed, after Joseph died, after a long stretch of time, this glory had entirely vanished. The nation of Israel had long since lost the covenant. And now this event had occurred. A new king had arisen; a new king had come to power legally. Because they could not let another people grow, he ordered that all the Hebrew children be killed. It was the king’s command.
When crisis comes to you, people are thrown into confusion, right? Whenever crisis comes to anyone, something inside us changes. No matter how much we say we’re fine, in reality difficulty comes upon us. At such a time we must not be thrown into confusion. This was God’s natural, “of course” beginning. To an Israel that had lost the covenant, God was now making something tremendous.
2. Inevitable – At this time there is something God wants to do to me
The second thing our eyes must see — what is it? Why am I caught up in this situation right now? Seeing that is what is called “inevitable.”
It says, “A man of the tribe of Levi married a Levite woman.” A man who knew worship, who knew the gospel, married a woman who knew the gospel. That child is Moses, and now that child is about to die. At this time there is something God wants to do to me — that’s it. You must realize that first. Inevitable.
3. Absolute – God’s plan
What do you see behind that? It is the absolute, which is God’s plan. You must not be thrown into confusion. You must see this. You must see the “of course,” the “inevitable,” and the “absolute.” This is a remarkable thing to see.
1) The place where Moses could be saved – Egypt’s royal palace
She knew there was only one place where Moses could be saved. It is the royal palace of Egypt, which kills children. That is quite a discovery. So she would send our child into the royal palace. How? She was that clever. She even knew that the princess had no children and that she bathed there. It truly was God’s plan. The moment this woman, the princess, saw the baby Moses, she felt sorry for him, they say. She also knew, “this is a Hebrew child.” Right now Pharaoh had ordered all Hebrew children killed. Yet the moment she saw this child, a desire arose in her to raise him. At that moment Miriam went and spoke up. “Don’t you need a nurse?” “I need one,” she said. Then Miriam said, “I will introduce a Hebrew woman as a nurse.” She brought Moses’ mother, Jochebet. The princess said, “Raise this child for me. I will pay you wages for it.” This was, in effect, saving and raising her own child while even being paid to raise him.
2) Before sending him into the palace, planting into Moses the bartizan of the Lord, the bartizan of the throne, the bartizan of the covenant
What matters even more is not that. What is it? Once this child was weaned, she would send him into the royal palace. At this point, the bartizan of the Lord was completely established within Moses. This is what matters. We die when a bartizan of sorrow arises within us, don’t we? This bartizan of the Lord, the bartizan of the throne, the bartizan of the covenant, was completely planted into Moses. This is what Jochebet saw. When you fall into unbelief, when you are caught in crisis, you see nothing at all. Only when you see this as not a crisis but as God’s astonishing opportunity does this begin to be visible.
▣ Main_ God’s Preparation – The Bartizan Planted into Moses
Why do I say this is not a crisis? The evidence has already come out. What did God prepare?
1. Spiritual Preparation 300%
First. The bartizan God planted into Moses was, in short, a complete spiritual preparation of 300%.
1) The bartizan of the gospel – Engrave completely the covenant and the gospel that topples the darkness
He completely engraved into Moses the covenant and the gospel that topples darkness. This is exactly it. Do not be afraid. With the bartizan of the gospel, all darkness can be broken. This is what was planted.
2) The bartizan of the covenant and the word that would happen in the future – the recording of Genesis
That’s not all. All the covenant and word that would happen in the future were entirely planted into Moses. This truly is a blessing. It’s remarkable. Moses wrote Genesis while he was hiding in Midian. From whom did he hear it? This is an amazing history. That he was able to record all of Genesis — from whom did he hear it so much, this I’m saying, though of course the Holy Spirit revealed it, but this was the bartizan planted by Jochebet.
3) The bartizan of prayer – Fulfilled when prayer ascends to the throne and meets my soul
She must have prayed while doing this. How much must she have prayed while holding and nursing Moses. How much must she have prayed after sending Moses away. It’s not because she prayed so much. She realized that the secret of prayer is fulfilled when it ascends to the throne and meets my soul.
Those of you who are going through difficulty, prepare spiritually at 300%. An unimaginable thing has happened. In some sense this is not difficult but easy. Right? Because only God governs our life, spiritual strength and 300% preparation are essential for me. This is the bartizan of Moses that Jochebet planted.
A child is born and raised under parents who know neither the gospel nor prayer. Does the teacher at school know how to know the gospel and pray like that? The child grows up and marries. They meet a spouse just the same, who knows neither the gospel nor prayer. This itself is truly a disaster. As the child grows up, not once through a parent, not once through a teacher, not once through anyone, do they hear the secret of this gospel and this prayer. I consider that a disaster.
Jochebet planted this. We must absolutely do this too.
2. Preparation of the Future Field 300%
Second. She prepared the future field 300%. This is remarkable. Knowing what was to come in the future, she sent him into the royal palace, and thereby prepared the future field 300%. Do you know what that is?
1) Education received in the royal palace (40 years)
First, Moses received all his education in a university within the royal palace in Egypt. What we have confirmed is that it was a university called Heliopolis. This university already existed within Egypt, the very Egypt that moved the world. He studied there. Moses received a truly elite education. Why? Because he was the princess’s son, he was treated with honor in the palace while receiving his education. He was even educated in everything, including military strategy and astronomy.
2) Midian (40 years) – The recording of Genesis, the answer that will never disappear
That’s not all. A great incident occurred and Moses ended up killing a man and fled to Midian. That too was 40 years. But in Midian Moses discovered something tremendous. There, Genesis, the answer that will never disappear, was recorded. And then he returned again.
3) The wilderness (40 years) – Because the bartizan of God had been established, one staff moved the whole world
He was called at the age of 80, but he led Israel through the wilderness for 40 years. Because the bartizan of God had been established, though Moses had only one staff, with that staff he moved the entire world. This was the field preparation of 300%. This is the bartizan that Jochebet planted.
※ Moses’ mother let Moses know that worship is the most important thing in my life. It became a timetable that saves the world.
There are people who don’t need to live a life of faith. God says He doesn’t need that person. Some merely offer worship as a religious activity. “My religion is Christianity, so I must worship.” That will not overcome darkness. “I say that worship is the most important thing in my life” — that is a person who knows something. Like Wanamaker, this is what Moses’ mother made known. So before Moses went into the wilderness, all of it together — Midian, the royal palace — was 120 years. It became a timetable that saves the world. The Bible records, “No one has ever received grace from God as much as Moses did.”
The bartizan you plant into our next generation today — if that bartizan lives in your heart, it simply does not end there.
3. The 300% Completion of Evangelism and Missions
Third. Through this work of Moses, the 300% completion of evangelism and missions was achieved.
1) “Go and offer the blood sacrifice” – What he heard from his mother turned into world missions
When Moses turned 80 and God called him, what did He say? “Go and offer the blood sacrifice,” He said. This was what he had heard from his mother. This is truly enormous. This is what turned into world missions. Those who don’t know the gospel speak of it carelessly. The gospel contains everything within it.
2) The ten plagues completely overturned the culture of Egypt’s darkness
Naturally, Pharaoh refused. As you already know, what happened next? Through the ten plagues, all the culture of Egypt’s darkness was overturned completely.
3) “I will lift up My mighty hand and be with you. Say that you are going to offer the blood sacrifice.” It was fulfilled exactly as said.
God had promised. “I cannot do it,” Moses said. “I will be with you. Go and tell Pharaoh. Tell the elders first. Tell the people of Israel. Say you are going to offer the blood sacrifice. Say that I, the Lord, have sent you.” There was nothing more to say. “I will lift up My mighty hand and be with you. This shall be the sign.” That is what He said. It was all fulfilled exactly as said.
▣ Conclusion_ When the word connects with the soul and the throne, when the word is fulfilled, something unstoppable happens.
I told you this again last week as well — when the word connects with your soul, with the throne, something tremendous happens. When the word of the Lord is fulfilled, nothing can stop what happens. We will confirm this again in our 2nd service today, but there is clear evidence.
1. The bartizan of the covenant God planted into Jochebet
God planted this bartizan into Jochebet first. This matters. When will it be fulfilled? That’s not even the important thing.
2. The bartizan of the covenant planted into the young Moses – it absolutely never disappears and is fulfilled. The flow of the word rides upon it.
Because it will surely be fulfilled. This bartizan of the light of the Lord’s covenant was completely planted into the young Moses. It absolutely does not disappear. It appeared when he was 80 years old. It was the message he heard from his mother, and this, after 80 years, came to be fulfilled. To God, whether it is 80 years or 800 years or 8,000 years makes no difference. Right? It is bound to be fulfilled. This bartizan of the covenant was built into Moses. Then the flow of the word rides upon it. The evidence for this must be visible to the eye.
3. The bartizan of the covenant planted into Joshua and Caleb (as I was with Moses, so I will be with you) – it never wavered at all
This bartizan was passed on to Joshua and Caleb. To Joshua and Caleb He said, “I will be with you just as I was with Moses.” That word means He was with Moses. In the same way, I will be with you. Now within Joshua and Caleb, within their souls, this bartizan was created.
Many people fall almost entirely into unbelief, but it is of no use. Even if the forces of unbelief are 99%, they lose before faith. Even if human reasoning is greater than the whole world, it loses before the word of God. There were many formidable people who opposed and fell into unbelief. This unbelief always seems to make sense, doesn’t it? This faith doesn’t seem to make much sense at all. “You say God is with us, but how is He with us?” — if you say this, there is nothing to answer. “Even if we die, let’s go to the land of Canaan” — shouldn’t it be like that? What did those who fell into unbelief say? “Is it right for us to die here like this?” — that’s what came out. “When we were in Egypt, even though we were slaves, didn’t we eat properly and sleep properly?” — this is what came out. “Now we’re dying in this sandy ground — how does this make sense?” — that’s what came out. “We simply met the wrong leader” — this is what came out. In this way, unbelief seems to make sense. That is why people waver. Joshua and Caleb never wavered at all. Within that bartizan, God had planted everything. Do not worry, and begin from now.
※ What we see and what God sees are different. Once you grasp the covenant, every door opens. This bartizan must be planted into the Remnant. This blessing must be seen and passed on.
I have a tremendous thought about the fact that Moses began at 80. When we think about it, it’s late, but God says it is not. To us it seems old, but not to God’s eyes. No, when I look at it, it seems completely ruined, but not when God looks at it. Isn’t that right? That is the evidence of the 66 books of the Bible. Once you grasp this covenant, I tell you honestly, every door opens. Ever since I grasped this covenant, I have never once worried about finances. Many people worry about finances and have many anxieties, but that’s not the case with me. Ever since I grasped this covenant, even while I sit quietly, honestly the door to world evangelization has opened. It’s certain.
Our Remnant must carry this forward. We adults must plant this bartizan. And we too must see this glory, this blessing of God, and pass it on. I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ that today will become your best day. I bless that the bartizan of God will stand within all-day prayer. Let us pray.
Prayer
God, thank You for giving us this day to worship again today. Let the bartizan of darkness be completely torn down today. Let the bartizan of Jochebet stand. Let us establish the bartizan of Moses in our next generation. Let this covenant be passed on to the next generation. Open our spiritual eyes so that we are not deceived by lies. We pray this in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
