91 - Les Feldick Bible Study Lesson 2 - Part 3 - Book 8 - Manna: God's Same Grace Saves Us

https://lesfeldickbiblestudy.com Through the Bible with Les Feldick LESSON 2 * PART 3 * BOOK 8 MANNA: GOD'S SAME GRACE SAVES US AND KEEPS US Exodus 16-19 Let's turn now to Exodus Chapter 19. Exodus 19:1-4 It will probably be to the mountains of Moab southeast of Jerusalem, that He has this place for them. We pick this up in Revelation Chapter 12. Revelation 12:6 "And the woman (Israel) fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they (The Godhead) should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days." What can Israel look for at the appearance of their Messiah?" Jesus is speaking here: Matthew 24:15 "When ye (now, He is talking to the twelve and the Nation of Israel, whom they represent. We want take time to go back to Daniel, but you remember that Daniel said in the middle of the week, or 7 years, the anti-christ will move down into Jerusalem. Then Jesus says when you see the Temple defiled by the anti-christ: Matthew 24:16,17 Matthew 24:18 Here is another category of people, and these are the working class. Matthew 24:19,20 The winters in Israel can be adverse and miserable, and also Israel is going back under the Law, so the sabbath comes into play again. It is interesting to read the accounts in the Jerusalem Post. There is a law before the Jerusalem Parliament, and has been for several months, that will actually re-establish the Sabbath in every category in Israel. And there is a lot of controversy between the secular Jews and the religious Jews, as the religious Jews have almost mandated this to be. So everything is getting set in the Nation of Israel even as we speak. Matthew 24:21 Revelation 12:13 saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman (Israel) which brought forth the man child (Christ)," Now, here is the identical word from Exodus. Revelation 12:14 "And to the woman (this escaping remnant of Jews) were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place (in other words a designated place by a Sovereign God), where she is nourished (taken care of, even as God took care of them in the wilderness with the manna, water, and etc.) for a time, and times, and half a time (3 1/2 years), from the face of the serpent." So they will be providentially protected by God for that last 3 1/2 years. And the reason I like to connect Exodus and Revelation is that just as surely as Israel was isolated in Goshen from the plagues, so will Israel be isolated from all the calamities of the tribulation. Remember at the mid-point of the tribulation so many things happen. So at the mid-point of the tribulation the anti-christ comes to Jerusalem (probably from Europe) but at the same moment Satan is cast out of heaven, and he indwells the anti-christ. When Satan, in the man anti-christ, sees this escaping group of Jews, probably quite a few thousand of them, what does he do? Then verse 15: Revelation 12:15 Always remember that Revelation is speaking in symbolic language, and just as sure as Pharaoh saw Israel escaping and sent an army after them, the anti-christ will do the same thing. But God intervenes, even as he did at the Red Sea by drowning all the Egyptians. Revelation 12:16 "And the earth helped the woman (under the control of the Sovereign God), and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood (or armed force) which the dragon cast out of his mouth." That is no harder than believing that God opened the Red Sea and drowned them. Remember the Scriptures says "with God all things are possible." So as these Jews are escaping, they will go out as if they have wings like a eagle. Remember that what God said happened in Egypt. Now, let's come back again to Exodus Chapter 19. Exodus 19:5 "Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine:" Let's break that verse down. Israel is going to be left with a free will.) then ye (the nation. Always remember that God deals with the Jew on two levels. When the LORD says in Isaiah, and Paul repeats it in Romans Chapter 11, that the Nation of Israel shall be blinded, that is a national thing. shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine:" How can God designate one nation to be above all others? God Himself. The Sovereign Almighty God. Deuteronomy 32:8 Some people may accuse me of making too much of the Nation of Israel. This whole world revolves around God and His chosen people Israel. Jerusalem from day one, God said would be a stone of stumbling. Exodus 19:6 "And ye (the Nation) shall be unto me a kingdom of priests,...." What kingdom? That kingdom that is coming on earth, which Christ will one day rule, not just the Nation of Israel. Back on the earth. So always remember that the kingdom is the kingdom is the kingdom unless the text designates something else. #LesFeldick #BibleStudy #Bible
