Summary
The speaker argues that true spiritual understanding, or revelation, is evidenced by a profound shift in priorities, mirroring Moses' life. This revelation causes a person to lose interest in worldly honor, the pleasures of sin, and material wealth. The key indicator of having this revelation is a willingness to suffer with God's people, recognizing that everything outside of Christ is ultimately worthless.

Knowing God's ways versus God's actionsMoses lived on a different spiritual plane than the sons of Israel, desiring to know God Himself rather than just being occupied with miraculous actions like the parting of the Red Sea.Psalm 103:7
Humility as the key to revelationGod gives revelation to humble people rather than those who simply sit and hear messages without personal change, and Moses was noted as the humblest man on earth.Numbers 12:3
Rejecting earthly honorHaving received revelation of God's ways, Moses rejected the honor of this world and positions of earthly status associated with Pharaoh's palace.Hebrews 11:24
Rejecting the pleasures of sinMoses rejected the pleasures of sin because seeing God completely changed his attitude toward sin, choosing instead to suffer alongside God's people.
Rejecting the riches of EgyptMoses turned away from the vast treasures and riches of Egypt, proving that true revelation changes a person's entire attitude toward money.
Counting everything as rubbish for ChristPaul experienced a similar radical shift, realizing that everything outside of Christ and what the world considers important is ultimately rubbish compared to gaining Christ.Philippians 3:8
The things of earth growing strangely dimWhen a person looks to Jesus in the light of His glory and grace, earthly things like honor, sin, and money truly lose their hold.
