The God Who Seeks to Kill His Prophet So He May Truly Live

Episode Description

In this episode, we explore one of the most startling passages in the Old Testament: the moment in Exodus 4:24–26 where “the LORD met Moses and sought to kill him.” Why would God seemingly ambush His own chosen prophet? What covenant truth had Moses ignored? And how does this terrifying encounter actually reveal the gospel, the mercy of God, and the blood that saves sinners?

Drawing deeply on Martin Luther’s theology of law and gospel, divine chastening, vocation, and the covenant, we uncover how this strange event prefigures Christ and how God still deals with His people today. A powerful look at the God who wounds in order to heal and kills in order to make alive.
