The Last Edict of a Tyrant King
Exodus 1:7-22
And the children of Israel were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and waxed exceeding mighty…


I. IT WAS PUBLIC IN ITS PROCLAMATION. How men advance from one degree of sin to another.

II. IT WAS CRUEL IN ITS REQUIREMENTS. Why should a tyrant king fear the infant sons of Israel? He knew they would be his enemies in the future if spared. Young life is the hope of the Church and the terror of despots.

(J. S. Exell, M. A.)
