Powerful & Awesome pictures of Salvation; The Year of Jubilee, Yovel, then the most beautiful picture with rewards, physically and spiritually to “Obedience”. Then Chapter 27, You the Priests are going to redeem what belongs to Yahweh. John 3:16, the world in Greek, “cosmos” literally means “the proper order”. You will return the “proper order” to this life. Wow! What He has planned for You is awesome!
Jethro is a man of the world, (just like us). Why does Jethro come to Moses? Because the whole world heard about the Red Sea (a disaster for Egypt), and then another nation destroyed - the Amalekites!! Jethro was a seeker of Truth, a man with a heart for God’s truth! He then gives his life to Yahweh, making an offering to Him, and becomes one of the First Fruits of the Gentiles. Yahweh gives us guidance; The Ten Words-Aseret haDevarim. (John 1) Yeshua at Mount Sinai-Horeb.
Yahweh becomes the Guide to the Children, Joseph is honored; It’s all about His presence; Cloud & Fire. Just this section alone has three different examples of our lives; “Murmuring, grumbling, complaining”, all Evil Tongue, La shon Hara. I think we are just like them. Oh, plus there are many signs & wonders. Is that for the believers or the unbelievers? We also have water from the Rock, Yeshua (1Cor 10:4) & the Tree of Life; “Etz Chaim”. Haftarah: Judges 4.4-5.31; Just as the God fearing Moses went to Battle and God prevailed, Devorah was God’s anointed and God miraculously confused and prevailed over the Canaanites and Yahweh prevailed. A Good Summary see Isaiah 43:15-20
These children were promised deliverance and blessings and then they received such hardships, persecution, trials and tribulations, have you experienced any trials and tribulations? We need more straw for the brick! Where are the blessings? After the promise of the blessings and deliverance, have you ever said, “Where are you, Yeshua?” “Those who feared the Word of the Almighty among the servants of Pharaoh brought their servants and their cattle into the houses. And those who did not pay attention to the word of the Almighty left their servants and cattle in the field." (Exodus 9:20-21) Is this the opposite of „The Fear of the Lord? Do you think we have been listening to the „Word of God‟? (Study „Heart‟, „Hearts‟ and where they come from!)
