THE SEVEN “I WILL’S”

Exodus 6:6-8 

The seven great “I will’s” from God as He is getting ready to have the Israelites leave Egypt after 430 years. They have been in bondage with heavy burdens.

1. I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.
2. I will rid you out of their bondage.
3. I will redeem you with a stretched out arm, and with great judgments.
4. I will take you to me for a people.
5. I will be to you a God: and ye shall know that I am the LORD your God
6. I will bring you in unto the land.
7. I will give it you for an heritage.
