Chapter 120 Return to Egypt

As soon as Yang Rui heard what Moses said, he said angrily: "You are the one I chose. 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 Israel, my messenger in this world, and you will live forever."

Seeing that Moses was still hesitating, Yang Rui said, "Don't hesitate, the pharaoh who wanted you to die is no longer alive, and the new pharaoh doesn't know who you are. Just do what I say, and I will give you your blessing." Give you eloquence to persuade those elders of Israel."

Moses thought for a long time before saying: "My master, then as you wish, I will go back to Memphis to meet Pharaoh."

Yang Rui handed the staff that had turned into a snake to Moses and said, "Go in peace and perform a miracle. I will protect you. You don't have to be afraid."

When Moses returned home, he told his father-in-law Reuel about this matter. After hearing this, Reuel's eyes were filled with reverence for God.

He said, "Go, boy. If God has called you to do such a great thing, why would you hold back?"

Moses said, "But I don't know if what's happening is real. Maybe it's just an illusion, or a dream."

Reuel said: "God has chosen you, there must be a reason for it, you just act according to God's will, and nothing will happen."

Moses asked doubtfully, "Is all this really worth it?"

Reuel said: "Take Zipporah and go with your children. You will eventually leave here and return to Egypt to lead the Israelites out of this land and to the new homeland that God said. I look forward to your leading The Israelites came and picked me up and went with me."

The next day, Moses took his wife Zipporah and his son Gershom away from Midian, where he had lived for many years, and rode a donkey towards Memphis, where he had escaped.

At this time, the Nile River was extremely noisy, and the Israelites were building a magnificent mausoleum for the new Pharaoh under the close supervision of the Egyptian overseers.

Moses walked on the huge construction site, watching his compatriots work hard amidst the sound of whips and cursing, which made him feel a strange bitterness in his heart.

At night.The construction site gradually fell into silence, with the aroma of unleavened bread and the singing of Israeli women coaxing children to sleep.

Moses followed the singing to the tent where the elders lived.

The leaders of these tribes of Israel saw a shepherd come in, and they asked, "Stranger, who are you?"

Moses said, "I was once an Israeli, and then I became an Egyptian, but in the end I am still an Israeli."

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

Moses sat beside these elders and said, "God has brought me back to the banks of the Nile!"

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

Moses said affirmatively, "Yes, God brought me back here."

"But we Israel have no God."

Moses said: "Now we have it. Everything in the world was created by God, and we are His people. God has seen the suffering of us Israelites and is willing to give us blessings and grace."

Someone said: "We don't believe that there is a god in this world. The Pharaoh of Egypt is our god. We are ruled by him and submit to him."

Moses said: "But he didn't bring us happiness. On the contrary, all our sufferings are given by him. Why should we fear such a god? Besides, although he has supreme power, he is just a mortal after all. , can’t compare with God at all.”

Someone asked again: "Moses, you say there is a God, but where is God? How can you prove the existence of God?"

Moses smiled and said, "I had the same doubts as you at first, but from the moment I saw God, I no longer doubted the existence of God."

"You have to prove to us that God exists. We will believe you."

Moses threw the cane in his hand to the ground suddenly, and the cane immediately turned into a poisonous snake, raised its head, spit out a scarlet core, and glared at the elders of Israel.

There was a burst of terrified screams from the crowd, and they retreated one after another, for fear that the snake would attack them.

But Moses calmly grabbed the snake's tail, and the snake immediately returned to the stick it was just now.

Someone recovered from the panic and said dismissively: "These are just tricks, any magician can do it."

When Moses saw the man with his hands in his lap, he said, "Take your hands out and see."

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

The man screamed in terror, and shouted at Moses, "What the hell have you bewitched me?"

Moses said, "You put your arm back in your bosom, and then take it out and look at it."

The man did as he did and found that his arm was back to normal. Moses smiled and said, "This is not a witchcraft, it is a miracle, to let you know the existence of God."

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

Moses saw the jug beside him and asked, "The water here is drawn from the Nile."

Someone nodded and said, "Exactly."

Moses poured the water from the jug onto the sand, and immediately the water turned into bright red blood and flowed everywhere. There was also a faint commotion in the ground, as if a monster was about to break out of the ground.

The elders were all terrified.They knelt on the ground and said reverently to Moses: "Moses, the messenger of God, we have believed in this miracle. I believe that God is here to rescue us suffering Israelites this time. Please also give us instructions."

Moses said: "Go back to your tribes, tell your people the things of God, let them know that God exists, and come to rescue them. And make all preparations, after I get God's instructions , we can do it.”

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

Moses said, "God told me to lead you out of Egypt to a new home, a home that belongs to us, the Israelites."

"Does that place really exist?"

Moses nodded and said, "God says it exists, and it's there waiting for us to come. Don't have any doubts, follow God, and we will eventually be free from pain."

But someone raised another question: "But Egyptians, will Pharaoh let us Israelis go? Their army is extremely powerful and has swept away too many peoples. We Israelis are weak and cannot compete with the Egyptians at all. How can we leave this land. The pharaohs will not let us go, they will kill us when we leave."

Moses said: "Don't worry about this. The atrocities of the Egyptians will definitely be punished by God. I will negotiate with Pharaoh and let him agree to let us leave Egypt."

Someone said: "The new Pharaoh is extremely tyrannical and a complete lunatic. If you make such a request to him, he will definitely kill you."

Moses stood up and said, "Just get ready to get up and leave Egypt, and leave the rest to me."

Moses walked out of the tent and walked towards the palaces in Memphis. Although he swore in front of the Israeli elders, he flinched when he saw the huge statue of Pharaoh in front of the palace.

Because he knew that he was trying to challenge the most authoritative mortal in the world, a king who could decide his life and death.What would happen to me if I made such an impolite request in front of this king. (To be continued..)
