86 - Les Feldick Bible Study Lesson 1 - Part 2 - Book 8 - Red Sea Experience:

https://lesfeldickbiblestudy.com Through the Bible with Les Feldick LESSON 1 * PART 2 * BOOK 8 RED SEA EXPERIENCE: A PICTURE OF OUR SALVATION Exodus 10-15 Let's turn to Exodus 12 for a moment. Remember in the last lesson we taught how the blood was applied to the door posts of the children of Israel's homes, and as they were preparing to leave; they were to ask the Egyptians for whatever they would give them for their journey. And, of course, God had this all set up Sovereignly. So God is seeing to it they get their back wages. In Exodus 12:22 we have the specific instructions on how to apply the blood. Exodus 12:22 Now, hyssop was a little bush or weed that grew everywhere in Goshen. I liken the hyssop here to the work of the Holy Spirit. Neither can anyone say, "Well, the Holy Spirit never worked in my life." The Holy Spirit is Omnipresent and works on every human being. Titus 2:11 all men," The Scripture doesn't lie. The grace of God, through the working of the Holy Spirit, has appeared to, I think, every human being in one way or another. Now, Romans Chapter 1 tells us, one way God does speak even to pagans and those who have never heard the literal Word of God is through the effect of nature. Let's look at the 10th Chapter of John's Gospel - the great Good Shepherd Chapter. John 10: 1-3 Then to verse 5: John 10:5 Now, verse 9 - this is Jesus speaking: John 10:9 "I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved,..." He is the door! Where is the door to the sheepfold? On ground level. The door to the sheepfold was ground level. We don't have to climb a high mountain, nor pay a million dollars, or shape up, or any of these things so many people have assumed is associated with God's salvation. Let's go back to the Book of Exodus Chapter 12 again. Now verse 35: Exodus 12:35 "And the children of Israel did according to the word of Moses; and they borrowed of the Egyptians (in the King James the word is "borrowed" and that is unfortunate, because when you borrow, what are you supposed to do? Give it back, and God never intended that. Exodus 12:36 Don't lose sight of the fact that, by the time we get to Chapter 25 of the Book of Exodus, God is going to give instructions to Moses and Aaron to now build the tabernacle. See, God isn't just spoiling Egypt to pad the pockets of the Israelites. Exodus 12:37 Remember in one of our recent lessons, I used the figure that there were between three to seven million people that left Egypt. Exodus 12:38 I bet most of you wonder, `Who was this mixed multitude?" Well, I said the mixed multitude were not true Israelites. Now, verse 39: Exodus 12:39 Leaven in Scripture always speaks of what? Evil or sin - but I prefer the word evil. Leaven here, speaking of evil, was to be left out of their bread dough, as they make this exodus out of Egypt. Separated unto God, no longer wrapped up in the paganism of their Egyptian masters. Exodus 12:40 "Now the sojourning of the children of Israel who dwelt in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years." Exodus 12:41 I'm saying this so will you understand that the Word of God is so true and accurate. God is in such complete control of time, and events, that he doesn't miss 430 year's by 24 hours. God now institutes the setting aside of the firstborn. Exodus 13:17 "And it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the people go, (that's after the night of the Passover) that God led them not through the way of the land of the Philistines,...." God didn't let them take that route, so I know they didn't cross the Red Sea at the shallow point. The Red Sea in front of them. Exodus 13:18 "But God led the people about, through the way of the wilderness of the Red sea: and the children of Israel went up harnessed out of the land of Egypt." How in the world did that many people move that far in such a short period of time? Remember cattle and sheep move very slowly. It's in Exodus 19. I want to impress upon anyone that I teach, that the God of Israel is a God that is constantly performing the miraculous. Exodus 19:4 "Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians (in other words, drown them in the Red Sea), and how I bare you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto myself." Exodus 13:19 "And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him: for he had straitly sworn the children of Israel, saying, `God will surely visit you; and ye shall carry up my bones away hence with you.'" Joseph knew that the time was coming, when God would take them back to Palestine. Exodus 13:20,21 The Scripture makes it so plain. Who was that cloud? It was God the Son, Jehovah, in His Old Testament personality. Well, it set right over the Holy of Holies. And it becomes the guiding light of Israel. The cloud lifts up and moves. It was the absolute presence of God. How could those Jews, seeing that cloud every day and that fire each night, still be that disobedient and prone to sin. #LesFeldick #BibleStudy #Bible
