As Genesis is the book of beginnings\, Exod us is the book of redemption (Exodus 6:6).
\nThe deliverance of the oppressed Israelites out of Egypt is the type of all redemption
\n1 Cor. 10:11 These things happened to them to serve as an example\, and they were written down as a warning for us in whom the culmination of the ages has been attained.
\nThe book of Exodus explains what true freedom is\, what freedom costs\, and how it must be used. It teaches that freedom is not license and discipline is not bondage.
\nThe severity of bondage in Egypt (a type of the world) and Pharaoh ( a type of Satan) cal ls forth the preparation of the deliverer:
\nMoses (2:1-4:31) is a t
ype of Christ.
\nThe contest with the oppressor (5:1-11:10) culminate
s in the departure (Greek: exodus\, meaning \"Outgoing\") of the Hebrews f
rom Egypt.
\nThey are redeemed by the blood of the Passover lamb (12:
1-28)
\nand by the power of the Lord manifested in the passage throug
h the Red Sea (13:1-14:31)
\nThe experience of redemption\, celebra
ted by the triumphal passage of the redeemed (15:1-21)
\nIt is follow
ed by their testing in the wilderness (15:22\, 18:27).
\nAt Mount Sin
ai\, the redeemed nation accepts the law (19:1-31:18).
\nFailure to r
ely upon grace leads to transgression and condemnation (32:1-34:35).
\nGod's grace triumphs\, however\, in the giving of the tabernacle\, pries
thood\, and sacrifice\, whereby the redeemed could worship and fellowship
with their Redeemer (36:1-40:38)
Exodus is the continuation of the story that God began in Genesis. And this continuing story leads us t o the coming of Jesus to earth and His death on the cross\, and it won't e nd until God's people go to heaven and see Jesus on the Throne.
\nTh e theme of exodus is deliverance\, and you can't have deliverance without a deliverer.
\nExodus includes codes that anticipate the climax of the New Testament\, and the Holy Spirit orchestrates every detail with significance that extends beyond the event.
