What was the exodus about?

We can look back on the "Exodus" today and see that it had both a practical application and a "dually" prophetic one. Practically, speaking... the "exodus" physically liberat…ed God's people [Abraham's children] from their centuries-long captivity in Egypt. The first prophetic application was God " stepping in " on human affairs on earth, to fulfill His centuries-old promise to Abraham, regarding his descendants: "...He said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years; and also that nation, whom they serve, will I Judge: and after ward shall they come out with great substance." (Gen.15:13-14) The first prophetic application of the "exodus," then, was God fulfilling that promise to His friend, Abraham. The second prophetic application of the "exodus" is... once again... God " stepping in " on human affairs on earth [into the middle of the economic and military affairs and might of Egypt, the most powerful empire on earth at that time] to establish the process of the first phase of His plan of salvation [which God reveals to His people through His seven annual Holy Feasts; starting with the Passover]. The salvation of both, the liberation of His people from Egypt -- and the future liberation of all mankind from sin and Satan's hold on him [pictured in 'Egypt; Sin'... and 'Pharaoh and his armies; Satan and his demons']. "And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and SEE THE SALVATION OF THE LORD , which He will shew to you to day... THE LORD SHALL FIGHT FOR YOU , and ye shall hold your peace."" (Ex.14:13-14). "And this day shall be unto you FOR A MEMORIAL ; and ye shall keep it a Feast to the Lord throughout your generations ; ye shall keep it a Feast by an ordinance FOR EVER ." (Ex.12:14) Ultimately... the " exodus " was and is about " the Salvation of Jesus Christ " -- the Almighty Creator God of the Old Testament ... the God of Moses... and the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob: "All things were made by Him ; and without Him was not any thing made that was made ." (John 1:3) The "exodus" is a prophecy. It points to the future return of Jesus Christ to earth... to once again [and for the last time] step into the errant, Godless, sinful affairs of man on earth... to save [liberate] mankind [God's Children, created in His image] from sin and death... and to restore that branch of the Government of God that Satan corrupted, perverted and destroyed in the beginning. Because, Bible prophecy speaks of a "Second Exodus"... when the returning Jesus [the King] shall deliver, not just Israelites... but ALL NATIONS [Gentiles] ON EARTH. "...behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that it shall no more be said, The Lord Liveth, that brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt; but The Lord Liveth, that brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north, and from all the lands whither He had driven them: and I will bring them again into their own land that I gave unto their fathers. "Behold, I will send for MANY FISHERS [see Matt.4:18-19], saith the Lord, and they shall fish them; and after will I send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain, and from every hill, and out of the holes of the rocks [see Rev.6:15-17]... the Gentiles shall come unto thee from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit." (Jer.16:14-19) For our generation, today... the "exodus" is a prophecy of remembrance and future Hope in God's promise of Salvation to all whose Faith and Trust rest in Jesus Christ -- the God of the Old Testament who "orchestrated and established" it, anciently.

What is the Exodus event about?

A: The Exodus in the Bible is a story of the Israelites fleeing slavery in Egypt, under the leadership of Moses. The Bible tells us they left Egypt approximately 1440 BCE an…d spent forty years wandering in the wilderness, until all those who left Egypt had died, save Joshua and Caleb, the only two permitted by God to enter the Promised Land. The story includes an account of Moses receiving the Ten Commandments on a mountain, while the Israelites left behind built an idol. The Exodus event can be regarded as a legend or myth, as nearly all modern scholars say there was no Exodus from Egypt as described in the Bible. Another Answer: The 2nd book of the Bible is called 'Exodus' and tells of the Children of Israel enslavement in the Land of Egypt. In this book we learn of God fulfilling His promise of leading His Chosen Peoples out of Egypt to the Promised Land of Canaan. In our modern world, two schools of thought have developed about these events: the minimalist or deconstructionist who hold that the Exodus and many other Bible stories are myths and therefore unreliable. These also hold that nothing in biblical tradition is earlier than the Persian period (538-332 BC), especially their denial of the United Monarchy under Kings Saul, David, and Solomon ever existed. Then there are the maximalists. These are fighting the uphill battle of a scarcity of information/ruins left unaltered by the then existing parties. A major challenge in reconstructing an accurate view of history is that, through the ages, most negative or embarrassing evidence was never written down or was intentionally destroyed by later rulers. There are several examples of the Egyptians doing exactly this in their history. However, the Bible stands in marked contrast to most ancient literature in that it objectively records the facts about biblical personalities, whether good or bad. Maximalist are making strives into having some carefully look at the biblical evidence arguing that the date of the Exodus is circa 1450 BC and not where most have looked for evidence of this event vis-a-vis the minimalist's 1260 BC. The tide of scholarly opinion on the Bible has shifted several times in the past centuries. During the later part of the 19th century there was much skepticism of the Bible, but in the 20th century, thanks to astonishing archaeological discoveries supporting the Scriptures, the tide turned somewhat in its favor.
