"Exodus"

"And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea;

and the LORD caused the sea to go back by a strong east

wind all that night, and made the sea dry land, and the

waters were divided. And the children of Israel went into

the midst of the sea upon the dry ground: and the waters

 were a wall unto them on their right hand, and

on their left. "

(Exodus 14:21-22)

Israelites leaving Egypt

Exodus can be divided into three sections: the Israelites being delivered from Egyptian slavery (1:1; 15:21); the covenant established on Mt. Sinai and the journey there (15:22-27; 16:1-3; 17:1-7); and the blatant disregard of a Holy God's commands with the worship of the golden calf (32:1-8).  God continued to have mercy on His people, in spite of their erring ways.  The Lord God is still patient and ever longsuffering to His children, and to us, who have been grafted in.  He forgives our sins when we ask, and His mercy flows to us like a river.  He is our God, and the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob was also the God of Moses.  God is concerned for His people, the children of Israel, gentiles and Jews alike; all people, all Nations, all kindred and tongues; the Lord Jesus Christ gave His all for mankind the world over.  He still saves, delivers, rescues, makes a way where there is no way, performs miracles, sets up and tears down, brings to naught the plots of evil doers, exalts His own, and crushes the enemy.  Hallelujah!

What does the Exodus mean for you and me?  God made a covenant with the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the Israelites.  God intended that His covenant Nation, Israel, would live according to His holy law.  The first and most important law, and still is the most important law, was to have no other gods before the One true and only God.  The ceremonial laws were done away with when Jesus Christ came and died on the cross to redeem mankind, but the moral laws still stand; the Ten Commandments are not ten suggestions.  The shed blood of Jesus Christ took away the sins of the world and the ceremonial sacrifices of animals for blood to cover sins is no longer valid; the blood of our Lord Jesus Christ eradicates sin for all time  ...  we need only ask sincerely and sorrowfully for His forgiveness, and His precious blood covers and erases our sins forever.

"He led them out of Egypt and did wonders and

miraculous signs in Egypt, at the Red Sea and

for forty years in the desert."

(Acts 7:36)



Our God is an "awesome" God!  Pharaoh's army pursued the Israelites but the Seas came together and drowned them in their charge.  Moses led the Israelites through 40 years of miracles: manna from heaven, the staying of plagues when Israel sinned, and as long as his arms were held up, Israel's battles were won.

"He turned the sea into dry land, they passed

through the waters on foot--come, let us rejoice in him."

(Psalm 66:6)

The Holy One of Israel still desires that His people be free, free from all manner of addictions, free from pain and disease, free from bondage of every kind, free from the torment of witchcraft, satanic holds and demonic oppression and possession, free from the heavy weight of sin, FREE!  Only Jesus Christ our Lord can make us free, only He can push back the waves of evil, sin, and disease, and set us on stable ground in Him.  He is a Master of waters; He calms and speaks to raging tormenting Seas, yet He fills us with Rivers of Living water from His Holy Spirit, the Holy Ghost, the power to overcome every tidal wave of evil and harm that seek to destroy us, and we can walk in victory for all of our days.

The promised land is the destined place where the Israelites longed to be, a land of peace and joy, a land of plenty and prosperity, a land where they would study war no more, a land of light and love, a beautiful place that was a reward for 40 years of wandering in the dry desolate desert, the completion of the "Exodus."
