The exodus is the greatest example the Old New Testament uses as the sufficiency of God's power to save his people.

00:07

He did, what he did physically, he does spiritually. That's the point. What I did in the exodus physically,

00:13

I'm doing spiritually, because out of Egypt came my son. And who was the son? Jesus. Amen.

00:18

And even in the transfiguration, when Jesus is speaking to Moses and Elijah, he literally is talking about, in our

00:25

English, it often comes across, it's rendered departure. But the literal word is exodus.

00:30

He is speaking to Moses and Elijah about the exodus that he was going to accomplish.

00:36

It's like, dude, it's shot through scripture. These themes of deliverance and redemption and rescue and God bringing his people out of bondage, like we talked about last week, into a land that he is going to give them eternally.

00:52

This is not a New Testament idea. This is all through the scriptures when you have eyes to see it.

01:00

I just want to jump in here, too. I think exodus is one of the greatest examples since you're going through it right now.

01:06

It's the greatest examples between the wars between the kingdoms, because it starts in Genesis 3. And then who is

01:12

Moses coming to? Because Pharaoh asked him, well, what God are you representing? Because there's multiple gods.

01:19

Pharaoh himself would have understood himself to be an incarnate deity, an incarnate God. So what does

01:25

God do? He shames the rest of the gods. He utterly shames them. With seed warfare, too.

01:32

Right. And he doesn't do so saying you don't exist. He acknowledges their existence and utterly shames them by using plugs to shame them.

01:40

And then what does he do when he pulls them out? He's like, all right, I just proved to you I am the supreme Elohim.

01:45

I am the supreme God. Therefore, you will have no other gods before me. It's the first command.

01:52

So all of this should help us in our narratives when we get to the new. And all of a sudden, Jesus is like, well,

01:57

Satan is the god of this world. And we're like, what? Well, that shouldn't shock you. If you're a

02:02

Job and if you've read Exodus, this is not a shocking situation. And then Paul's like, hey, just so you know, as you proclaim the gospel, there are going to be other entities out there that don't like this.

02:12

We know that. Look, Justin, what I think is interesting. You were talking about the children being killed.

02:19

Man, the evil one and that whole force of evil. They have been going after children forever, right?

02:28

Exodus is a great example. Then they start murdering their children to Balak, the Balak or Balak in the

02:34

New Testament. Yeah, Moloch, that was it. Then you get into the New Testament. He goes after the children again, trying to kill the

02:41

Messiah. And he's still striking parallels in that. And the Exodus, yeah, absolutely.

02:47

And abortion today is like the evil one has been just utterly destroyed.

02:52

And then this is what Jesus says. He has come to steal our joy and our hope to destroy our faith and to kill.

03:00

And he is murdering millions of babies right now. And all of this should be for us what we learned about this.

03:07

This isn't shocking. This is part of the narrative all the way back starting in Genesis.

03:13

Sorry, in Exodus. No, you're right. There is not a whiff of synergism in Exodus 6.

03:20

Synergism meaning us working with God, us cooperating with God for salvation.

03:26

It is monergistic. There's one person working and it is the Lord. And that is the good news that he is the

03:33

Savior and he does it all. And that's who he is. And he's a redeemer by nature.
