With this name, God declares His eternal, everpresent existence, and reveals that He has existed and always will, throughout all of history. It was a breathtaking declaration, and something that the false gods of Egypt in Moses' day could never match. http://bibleforchildren.org/PDFs/estonian/The%20Prince%20From%20the%20River%20Estonian.pdf 2009-05-08T10:47:53-05:00 Estonian : A new Pharaoh makes the Israelites slaves.
