Word: Genesis 17:9-14
Title: Ten plagues (7)-Circumcision 1994. 10. 23
Today is the seventh hour of the ten plagues. I hope you will understand why the word of circumcision is included in the ten plagues as you listen to the word.
It is the Passover ceremony that saved the firstborn from the calamity, but it is said that uncircumcised people cannot keep this Passover. So, let’s take a closer look at what circumcision means in this time. Circumcision refers to the cutting of the epidermis, that is, the outer skin of the genitals, at the end of the genitalia when a male child is born to the Israelites who believe in God and on the eighth day after birth. Muslims, Ethiopians, and some other peoples can see this ritual performed right after birth. Simply put, you can understand it as a circumcision.
When Abraham was 99 years old, God said to him, “Walk before me and be perfect,” and he changed his name to Abraham. That is, he changed his name from Abram to Abraham. Abraham means the father of many nations, the father of many multitudes. He said before, that he will make your descendants as numerous as the dust of the earth and like the stars in the sky, but in Genesis 17:6, he says, “I will make you exceedingly fruitful, and nations will rise from you, and kings will come from you.” . These words are made up today. Abraham is the father of our faith. How many Christian nations were born through this Abraham? There are also many kings, presidents, and prime ministers who believed in Jesus as their Savior. These people are all descendants of Abraham’s seed. God also told Abraham’s descendants that I would be their God. He also commanded us to perform circumcision as a figurative sign of this eternal covenant. It was said to be an eternal mark. Therefore, we must do as long as we are in this world until our Lord comes. Of course, we must know the spiritual meaning well. If you are not circumcised, you will be cut off from among the people. That is, they are cut off from among the people of God. Since we lose our relationship with God, we cannot be saved.
Now, let’s take a closer look at circumcision one by one. Why was he told to be circumcised on the eighth day after birth, and why did he have to do it only for men and at the end of the penis? First of all, let me explain the reason why you were circumcised on the eighth day after birth. What if the fetus is trapped in the amniotic fluid in the mother’s womb and then comes out of the mother’s body? When you come into contact with the outside air, temperature or comfort, all of that is of course a completely different situation. So it is said that the cells are at their most fragile state, and after seven days they are completely used to it. By the way, all is good only if the child is circumcised when he is not yet working. There is only a little pain or pain, and since it is a delicate age, it heals quickly, does not hurt, does not sting, and it is good in many ways. Adults are hardened and hardened, so it is painful and not as good. If you look at Genesis 34, you can see it clearly.
Dinah, daughter of Leah, Jacob’s first wife, had lost her chastity to the chieftain of the land, Shechem. Shechem, through his father, asks Jacob to marry Dinah. But since he was Jacob living in a foreign land, he could not refuse. So the sons of Jacob wrote a trick. According to our custom, we cannot marry an uncircumcised person. So get all your men circumcised. Then I will give you my sister. This is how it was promised. Chief Shechem was pleased with this and circumcised himself and all the men of his people.
In Genesis 34:25, we read that on the third day, when they went crazy and they were in pain, Simeon, the second son of Jacob, and Levi, the third son, each went with their swords, and attacked the city without knowing it and killed all the men. It’s been less than three days now. But Simeon, the second son of Jacob, and Levi, the third son, took a sword and stormed the city without knowing it and killed all the men. Well, since only the second son and the third son came out, it wasn’t just the two of them. There are many who follow in this. I went with them. Now, I am telling you how much pain an adult must suffer when he or she is circumcised. Today, there is a way to avoid getting nauseous by injecting and using medicine, but that was not the case in the past. The righteous God of love knows all these things, so he commanded us to be circumcised on the eighth day after birth. What about the human mind if you don’t specify a deadline? You will become lazy, and if you keep procrastinating, you may end up not receiving it and even die. So, how kind and good is our God? He did not do it unilaterally and dictatorship with his own sovereignty, but for the sake of our lives.
Then why did he have to circumcise the end of the penis of a man? It is the field that is most unnecessary for a man. Now, there are things that we men and women do not need in our bodies, but what are they? It’s the appendix. The appendix depends on whether it is male or female. So, if you have surgery at birth, you can live without any worries for the rest of your life, which is a good thing. However, there are other unnecessary things besides this appendix for men. That’s the field. So, if you circumcise and remove it, you can prevent disease first, and you won’t even smell it. Growth also has several benefits. Therefore, it is good for us human beings, and it is good because we can leave a sign on God’s side. That is, we can leave this very sign called the people of God and the people who follow God who believe in God. Then, why did he allow only men to be circumcised, even though there are women? It is natural for women not to do it because they belonged to men. In Genesis 2:20-24, God created Eve, a woman, by removing Adam’s rib because Adam had no helper. Then he said, “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.” In Genesis 3:16 we read, “And he said to the woman, “I will greatly increase the pain of childbearing, the curse of disobedience. It will increase greatly, and you will labor and bear children, and you will love your husband, and your husband will rule over you.” This is God’s command.
What does Ephesians 5:22 say? “Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord.” He is telling us to submit to our husbands as we submit to the Lord. But to the end, it is obedience and obedience in the Lord. I’m not asking you to obey out of state. To be obedient and obedient in Christ in the Lord and in the truth. It’s natural. I am not talking about departing from the truth. However, there is nothing that husbands will like. What does Ephesians 5:25 say next? “Husbands, to love your wives, you must know how much Christ loves the church, that is, how much our Lord loves the church. Christ loved the church and gave himself for it. Just as Christ loved the church and gave himself for it, so husbands are telling their wives to do the same. And verse 28 says, “In the same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies.” Who does not love his own body? He is saying that he who loves his body, that he should love his wife as he loves his own body. He who loves his wife loves himself. So men and women are equal. However, the order is for a wife to long for her husband and for the husband to rule his wife. If there is no order, mankind cannot exist and the outer space will be destroyed. Today, this order is being destroyed because we live in a world dominated by sin in the end times. So, while insisting on the equality of men and women, Of course they are equal, but they are equal in keeping the order, but they claim equality by breaking the order. Well, I’m claiming gender equality, but I’m claiming it within the order, but I’m claiming it while breaking this order. So how many homes are being destroyed today? We see it getting worse in the West, worse in America, and worse in our country. With each passing year, more and more families are being destroyed, and there are many tragedies in which children have to serve two fathers and serve two mothers. More and more. This is what happens when order is broken. And doesn’t love break? You can see that love is formed as one body through love, and then you can see that love is shattered soon, and you will see many families who are still living because of their children even though they do not love and regret it. This is because we break this order that God had originally commanded us to do. This is a tragedy. Naturally, a woman was created to help a man, and because she forms one body, circumcision only on a man will be the same as the woman received. However, problems arise when the husband believes but the wife does not. If you are not circumcised, you cannot be saved. The circumcision of the flesh in the Old Testament era is a shadow. That is, it is the shadow of the New Testament. In the New Testament era, which is the reality, we have to circumcise our hearts. You must receive the Holy Spirit and peel off the skin of your heart. It’s worse in America, and we see our country getting worse too. With each passing year, more and more families are being destroyed, and there are many tragedies in which children have to serve two fathers and serve two mothers. More and more. This is what happens when order is broken. And doesn’t love break?

This is because we break this order that God had originally commanded us to do. This is a tragedy. Naturally, a woman was created to help a man, and since she forms one body, if she circumcises only a man, it will be the same as the woman received. However, problems arise when the husband believes but the wife does not. If you are not circumcised, you cannot be saved. The circumcision of the flesh in the Old Testament era is a shadow. That is, it is the shadow of the New Testament. In the New Testament era, which is the reality, we have to circumcise our hearts. You must receive the Holy Spirit and peel off the skin of your heart.

Jeremiah 4:4 says, “Circumcise yourselves and cut off the skins of your hearts” and cut off the skins of our hearts. “Cut and belong to the Lord,” that is, to cut off the skin of the heart to belong to the Lord. Unless you cut off the skin of your heart, that is, unless you circumcise your heart, you do not belong to God. Just as in the Old Testament, if you do not circumcise yourself, you will be cut off from the people of God. If you do not cut off the skin of your heart even in the New Testament, you have nothing to do with God. “Otherwise, my wrath is kindled like fire for your iniquities, and there is no one to quench it,” he said. If you don’t cut it, don’t you live by sinning in the untruth? Because of this very iniquity of you, my wrath, that is, the wrath of God, will kindle like fire and burn, and no one will quench it. In other words, if you are thrown into hellfire, you will have to suffer forever and ever. There is no one to drag.
Romans 2:28-29 says, “For a superficial Jew is a Jew, he is not a Jew, and the outward circumcision of the flesh is not circumcision.” True circumcision is not circumcision on the surface, that is, the circumcision of the body, and the circumcision of the body that was done in the Old Testament is not circumcision. God is not telling you to circumcise your body. There is a reason to do that circumcision. In other words, it is telling that the skin of the heart must be cut, but the skin of the heart must be cut by circumcision of the flesh in order to cut off the skin of the heart, which is invisible to the eyes. So, basically, the superficial Jew is not a Jew. Also, the circumcision of the body on the surface is not circumcision, but this word. Verse 29 says, “He is a Jew who is one side, and circumcision must be done in the heart, in the spirit and not in the ceremonies.” Now, on the surface of Israel, those Jews are not Jews. The inner Jew is either me or you. This two-sided Jew is a Jew, and circumcision must be done in the heart. did it in your mind. If you do it in your heart, it is in the spirit and not in the question. Just as it brings odors and diseases and removes the filthy parts, so also perfect circumcision is to put away all the ugly and unclean sins that stink and bring disease to the heart.
If the husband goes to church but the wife doesn’t, then you will see the wife disobeying her husband. A meek person will naturally obey her husband. However, as long as the conscience is not burned, our God will help the wife to achieve salvation. In other words, it is the right for a wife to obey her husband, and it is for a husband to love his wife as well as his own body. In other words, saying that you have a conscience that is not harmed by a fire means that you will eventually come to church with your husband and be saved. However, if you truly do not obey and you cannot be saved to the end, then your conscience is a conscience that has been cleansed. It is mainly women who serve idols well. Since women are more religious than men, you can see that most women believe first. So, knowing that, even the serpent seduced the woman Eve first. That is why it is changed and our women believe first, and then change and become an example at home, so husbands will also believe in them. If you go to every church, there are many women, but there are enough men to count. But our church is not like that. If you go to every church, whether it’s a revival meeting or something like this, there are many women, but men rarely sit one by one. But in the book of Acts, it says, “Believe on the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household.” It is not said that only women are saved. My whole family is going to be saved. Aren’t they supposed to be half male and half female in that family? Mainly looking at it. Oh, so the church must have more women, but there must be more men. Oh, how about our church? Oh, is there a lot of men in our church? less? many? write it down? I’ll have to check it out sometime. Only us male saints, please raise your hands high once. Take a look at the prayer center over there, the first floor, the second floor, and the parish hall. Male saints, please raise your hands high. Now, take a look left and right. Look left and right. many? few? (A lot.) A lot? please take it down Besides, there are only men in front of this. There were two women in the first worship service. There are so many men. In most cases, the wife first receives the Lord, and the woman first receives the Lord. So now, when you hear the Word and change, when you smell the fragrance of Christ, your husband will follow the church and you will see that your family is saved. You will see your parents and children follow you and be saved. So, because there is a history of salvation for the whole family at this altar where our God was with us, not only women but also men can see many things. If there is a husband or wife, or a member of the church who has not left church yet, please pray until the end. If you say that you are a person whose conscience is not scorched, God will surely answer you. Either he controls the heart or creates an opportunity to meet and experience God. When a man is circumcised, the woman he lives with is also circumcised. That is, it is spoken of in the Old Testament before the coming of the Holy Spirit. In the Old Testament, women in front of men are unconditionally obedient and submissive. So, is there a law in the New Testament that says not to do that? When she gives off the incense of Christ, the wife will be obedient and submissive to her husband, that is, in the Lord. in the truth. A husband will love his wife as his own body, so if the man is holy, the woman will be holy, and if the woman is holy, the man will be holy.
Last Sunday, I went to a sermon on the catering business of Light Salt. After the sermon, when we got together a lot, I asked the people who are getting married. how do you buy Some families were asked if they were living with a fight like this. Then they all said they didn’t fight at all. you’re happy Because I asked people who have married couples, men and women, that they don’t fight, there’s no fight, there’s no argument, and they live happily ever after. When I ask that there is not only one side, but all the couples, the women also happily answer that they are ‘happy’ without quarreling, not fighting, not fighting, and living without fighting. Oh, so someone said, ah, when my husband just goes home, the craftsman beats him and his hand is broken or whatever They all say no. Before going to church, we fought, and before coming to this church, we fought and quarreled, but then we came to this church and heard the word of truth and changed. Our elders were there, and so are the elders. The answer remains the same.
In the Old Testament times, it was said that circumcision, which leaves a mark on the body, was only a shadow. However, when we know about this shadow, we can come to know the reality, we can also understand the meaning of the Passover, and we can understand why we participate in the Eucharist. An uncircumcised person is not entitled to participate in the sacrament of the Lord’s Supper. It is also said in the text. This is the sign of the covenant between me and you.
Verse 12 says, “For every generation a male shall be circumcised on the eighth day, whether he is born in the house or bought with money from a foreigner who is not your descendant. So my covenant will be an everlasting covenant in your flesh, but the uncircumcised male, who has not cut his sheepskin, will be cut off from among the people, for he has betrayed my covenant.” God has given this covenant to all human beings. It was given to all descendants through Abraham, the father of faith. God made this covenant, but if we betray on the part of humans, we will not be saved. Therefore, you must be circumcised to be saved. Today, you must circumcise your heart. When you receive the Holy Spirit in your heart, the Holy Spirit helps you to live in the truth. So, you can do circumcision. So, complete circumcision is made when I am sanctified. When I am sanctified, because I live fully in the truth, there is no stench from my heart and I cannot sin. Those of you who look at it continue to be circumcised while fighting hard. In this way, those who have received the Holy Spirit can participate in the Eucharist. However, even if you have received the Holy Spirit, you cannot eat and drink bread and wine if you have sinned and have not repented or turned back. Because our hearts are troubled, we cannot eat and drink the flesh and blood of our Lord. Even if you have not been baptized with water, if you believe with your heart, the Holy Spirit will come and seal you as a child of God and write your name in the book of life in the kingdom of heaven. How sad it would be if the saved children who call God Father cannot eat and drink the flesh and blood of the Lord simply because they have not yet been baptized with water. Many denominations now have denominations, and some do so by denomination’s laws. But in our Bible, is water baptism important? Is the baptism of the Holy Spirit important? If you believe in Jesus as your Savior, God will give you the Holy Spirit as a gift. That is why John 1:12 says that God gives you the right to become children of God. That is, because we believe in Jesus, it is important to receive the Holy Spirit and become a child of God. Now, don’t you get water baptism in due time?
John 6:53 says, “Unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you.” However, there should be no unworthy eating and drinking without receiving the Holy Spirit or with unresolved sins. According to 1 Corinthians 11:29-30, “He who eats and drinks without knowing the body of the Lord eats and drinks in his own sin”, that is, eating and drinking of the very same bread and wine of the Lord. Verse 30 says, “Therefore, many of you are weak and sick, and many are sleeping.”
Now, our members, do you understand all about circumcision? I believe that you understand the reasons why circumcision is performed on the eighth day after birth, and why it is done only for men and also for men. Then, if you look at Exodus 4, if you look at Exodus 4:24-26, “the LORD met Moses at the lodge on the road and was about to kill him.” That is, did not God call Moses from the bush and give him a mission now? Didn’t he give you the mission to leave Egypt? That is why Moses, who is coming now after receiving that mission, meets Moses at the lodging on the road and wants to kill him. He is trying to kill Moses. A big thing happened. Now, in verse 25, “Shipporah, Moses’ wife Zipporah, took a marble stone, cut off his son’s sheepskin, and threw it at Moses’ feet, saying, “There are two sons, is truly a husband of blood to me.” You are truly a husband of blood to me. In verse 26, “the Lord let Moses go.” It says that she is her husband, so release it. If you say that God appears and strikes your husband for example, what would you say, then, would God release you? If you say my husband is a blood husband, let him go. You must know the spiritual meaning now. Yes, “You are truly a husband of blood to me,” and the Lord released Moses. At that time, Zipporah was called a husband of blood because of her circumcision. He commanded them to liberate the children of Israel from slavery in Egypt and lead them to the land of Canaan. So, Moses left home with his family to fulfill the mission God gave him and is now heading to Egypt. A half-day trip would be less than a half-day drive as it is today, but it wasn’t like that in the past. They had to walk for several days on a rough desert road to reach Egypt. So there were sparse villages, and there were also lodgings where passersby could stay. The Lord met Moses at the lodge on the road and was about to kill him. Genesis 17:14 says, “The uncircumcised man is cut off from among the people of God.” Then it is death. To be cut off from among God’s people is to be a Gentile and that is death. It means going to hell. But Moses was not yet circumcised. Why wasn’t he circumcised? At the time Moses was born, the king of Egypt ordered that any male child born among the Israelites was to be thrown into the river and killed. But when did he have time to circumcise Moses? All men are unconditionally killed when they are born, but since they are children who will die anyway, they were not circumcised. But what if the servant prophet, who should lead all of God’s people, disobeys God’s word? Because all men are supposed to be killed, they kill because they kill. Also, do those people who live as slaves say that they are circumcised? But now Moses, who is entrusted with God’s great mission, must be disobedient to God’s word, and if he does not circumcise he will be cut off from God. Even Moses knows about circumcision. It was something he had heard while growing up with the milk of his mother who gave birth to him. While mother breastfeeding Moses, wouldn’t she diligently teach her about God and the Law, which she had heard and learned through her forefathers? They teach you to be circumcised and all these things. why? I have to leave my mother’s arms again and go back to the prince of Egypt. So, why don’t you teach the child you are holding, the child you are breastfeeding, until they grow up? However, he had not yet been circumcised. Moses had to be perfect. There should be no wall between us and God. In such a situation, what should God do? The angel of God could not just appear softly. I had to teach him harshly. When you send someone on a mission, if you give them a lot of alcohol and send them off in a good mood, how can that person do it with precision and strictness? However, if you treat it strictly and send it out, you will be able to bear it faithfully as much as you handle it strictly. Foreign enemies have invaded. To the general who goes to fight foreign enemies, the king gives him the most precious sword. So, what do you think of the longevity? I know that if I can’t defend my country because I can’t destroy the enemy, I’ll have to die. I know I can’t come back alive. When you receive a treasured sword with such a great meaning, how afraid and trembling would you receive it? In order to protect the king and the country, he is not afraid of death and is rather willing to give his life. why? I have to leave my mother’s arms again and go back to the prince of Egypt.

Moses must have asked when God said he would kill Moses. God, why do you want to kill me? Because you are uncircumcised, I want to kill you. Moses already knew that unless he was circumcised he would be cut off from the presence of God. So Moses was in a position where he had no choice but to serve God with fear and trembling. Also, I had no choice but to approach my mission with fear and trembling. Our God is very kind, but when we need to be strict like this, He rules severely. But there was always love in it. If I have a flaw, this problem is also a flaw. When you rule harshly, you have to rule harshly, but you can’t because your heart is weak. When you really need to be governed, even if you are strict, if you ejaculate with just a few words, they forgive you again, so you cannot rule strictly. The number of people increases, so you will see parts where order is not kept well.
“God met Moses and was about to kill him. So Zipporah took a stone, cut off his son’s skin, and threw it at Moses’ feet, saying, “You are truly a husband of blood to me.” So the LORD released Moses.” Did you know about circumcision? didn’t you know? Zipporah is a Gentile Midianite woman, not a chosen people of Israel. But from what I just read, Zipporah knew about circumcision. It was because I had two children and lived with my husband for a long time, that is, because I lived with my husband who was Moses for a long time. Why don’t you tell me about your ancestors and about Abraham and all the things God did to Abraham? However, I did not take it seriously, but God appeared and said it now, so I knew that I had to do it, so I took a stone and circumcised it. Then why did you take the marble? There are living stones and non-living stones. Also, if you go to the mountains, there are stones that grow by themselves like this. Well, if you go to the mountain, you will see something like a cave from above. If the surface of a lifeless stone is wiped clean, germs will disappear, so if you circumcise with it, no disease will occur in the body. He took a stone, cut off his son’s sheepskin, and threw it at Moses’ feet. Even so, she could not take off her husband’s clothes and circumcise her there. But he could do that with his own sons. Zipporah was such a wise woman. She did not quarrel and was a gentle and kind woman. So what should Moses do? At that time, he always carried a sword for self-defense. He quickly took out the sword and circumcised himself. So my husband and both sons were circumcised. But to see them bleeding and in pain, that is, they didn’t go to the hospital, but because God was trying to kill him, he got drunk and circumcised his two sons. Also, Moses is doing it himself, because his wife can’t take it off on the spot right now in his own way. So, how bitter and painful will Zipporah’s heart be right now? These two sons and Moses must be in pain. I mean, it’s bleeding. Moreover, Zipporah was a woman with a good heart. My husband was circumcised and dressed, but blood is also oozing into his clothes. Therefore, it is inevitable that her husband will become more loving and respectful. That is why, to Moses, you are truly my blood husband, that is, you are the bloody husband. There is no meaning in it, but it is an honorific term. However, this book of Exodus, one of the five books of Moses, was written by Moses. So, Moses gives a more detailed explanation in this part. “At that time, Zipporah was called a blood husband because of her circumcision.” In other words, Moses now knew why God wanted to kill him. That is, because he is not circumcised, he is trying to kill him. So, now he hastily pulled out a knife and circumcised himself, and his two sons were circumcised by his wife, that is, his mother. So now it’s bleeding. So, now that I am a husband of blood, and now I am a husband who has been circumcised, God will release me. That is, because he was circumcised, he was released. So, now Moses is writing this, and he is explaining that Zipporah is called a blood husband because of circumcision. Since you must know about circumcision, I will explain it in detail… (End of Tape A side)
(Start on Tape B side)… .Now, everyone, God was trying to kill Moses. Why did you try to kill me? Moses left after God gave him a mission and commanded him to leave Egypt, but he had no choice but to kill him because he was not circumcised. But Moses was quickly circumcised. This means that after being circumcised, God did not kill him and left him. In other words, this is an eternal ordinance. Even today, unless we are circumcised in our hearts, we have nothing to do with God. I can’t help but kill this. It is inevitable that you will die. Why did I get it after eight days, why did I get it from the man’s place? Why was it only given to men? Also, after receiving spiritual circumcision, I realized that our God is always a God of love. He is a good God who always leads us only for good.
Dear brothers and sisters, now you will understand why circumcision is now included in the ten plagues. Yes, unless you are circumcised, you have nothing to do with God, and this means that you will be put into disaster. You can’t even participate in the Passover. This is an eternal ordinance. Even if it was the prophet Moses, even if it was the prophet Moses who God called and commissioned him to use, he was going to kill him when he was not circumcised. The same is true. All of our God’s children must be circumcised, and that circumcision is the circumcision of the heart. I mean, I have to skin my heart. This means that dirty and ugly untruths, all sins and evils must be washed away with the word of God and cut with this sword of the word of God. That is why eating and drinking the flesh and blood of the Lord is the circumcision of the heart. This means that only when we are circumcised in this way, we become holy children of God, and children of light become the people of the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, this means that the ten plagues will not come upon us. Our God, are you a good God? We will pray together as we ponder the Word.
(Prayer)
Hallelujah Lord, thank you for your grace and love. Lord, today we talked about circumcision. Unless we are circumcised, we have nothing to do with our Heavenly Father. Father, God wanted to kill even the prophet Moses when he was not circumcised. However, he can see God leaving when he realizes quickly and is circumcised. Lord, we too must diligently receive the circumcision of our hearts. You have to peel off the skin of your heart. We must strip away all the ugly and dirty untruths, all aspects of evil, all aspects of sin, and all unrighteousness. With the word of God, we have to cut and peel it off with a sword. God the Father, unless we are circumcised, we have nothing to do with God, so we too cannot be called children of God unless we are circumcised in our hearts, and we cannot be called children of God or children of God’s light. Father God, I pray that all of our saints will diligently circumcise their hearts to become God’s holy children and people, so that they do not lack grace and blessing. . Lord, thank you. Glory be alone. In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
(Praying for the patient)
Hallelujah, Lord, please lay your hands throughout this hour. I want you to give me more grace and power from above, and I want you to be filled with the moving and inspiration of the Holy Spirit. Father God, we need to know how important circumcision is. They said it was an everlasting ordinance, and unless they were circumcised, they were not God’s people. He also said kill. Even Moses, whom God called and sent on a mission, can see God trying to kill him when he is uncircumcised. We can see that God leaves when Moses realizes immediately and when he and his two sons were circumcised. Father God, you speak to us too. They say that you too must be circumcised. Father, what is this circumcision? He tells us to peel off the skin of our hearts with the word of God with the sword of the word of God. All the untruths, injustices, and evils that are ugly and unclean in our hearts, Father, I tell you to wash away the sinful natures with the word of the Lord and strip them off with the sword of the word of God. That’s why I’m telling you to circumcise your heart. They say that unless you circumcise your heart, you have nothing to do with God. By circumcising our hearts, we can become God’s holy children and people and become the people of the kingdom of heaven. Thank you Lord. So, protect us and bless us so that none of the ten plagues will come upon us.
