Exodus 12:31-49 We leave as a conquering Army
31 During the night Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron and said, “Up! Leave my people, you and the Israelites! Go, worship the Lord as you have requested. 32 Take your flocks and herds, as you have said, and go. And also bless me.”
Remember this, we didn’t leave with our tails between our legs, we didn’t flee like criminals, we marched out as a victorious army led by God. We warned Pharaoh, he refused to listen, he paid the price for that arrogance. Many Christians right now are watching intently for the Lord's coming, looking at the signs. This to me is the big sign, we conquer Pharaoh and the worldly system and then leave (raptured) as a conquering army just as Jesus resurrection was the victory over death and the grave.
33 The Egyptians urged the people to hurry and leave the country. “For otherwise,” they said, “we will all die!” 34 So the people took their dough before the yeast was added, and carried it on their shoulders in kneading troughs wrapped in clothing. 35 The Israelites did as Moses instructed and asked the Egyptians for articles of silver and gold and for clothing. 36 The Lord had made the Egyptians favorably disposed toward the people, and they gave them what they asked for; so they plundered the Egyptians.
We left as a conquering army that had plundered them. That was our severance pay. That is where the gold and silver for the tabernacle came from. That is where we got the bronze to make the brazen altar. They paid us, but it went to the Lord. The worldly system is based on debt, currency is created when you borrow money, in a very real sense debt is what makes the world go round. In essence they create currency to represent your future labor. When you die your estate is liable for the debt you are carrying. But, what happens at the rapture, who will be responsible then? Will life insurance pay out? Definitely not, there is nothing in the contract to cover "the rapture". Mortgages, car payments and credit card debt will all be left hanging. You can go to court against those who remain, but imagine what happens if 10% of the world is raptured, 700 million people. The court system would be in total chaos. It would be decades before you could sort it out. The cost to litigate it would be too much and so most debt would be written off. There could be 35 million Americans. The average American has $90,000 in debt (mortgages, car payments, credit card payments). That is a $3 trillion dollar hit to the US financial market, but worldwide it would be double or triple that. This is not a trivial loss to the global equity market. As usual God is righteous in His judgements. They are saying that either you submit to our vaccine which will mark you as belonging to the elites or else we will kick you out because "we will all die". So then, the Lord says fine, they will all go. They are threatening to give these nano particles to all people from the youngest to the oldest and also on our food, on our herds. Everyone they threaten will be saved.
37 The Israelites journeyed from Rameses to Sukkoth. There were about six hundred thousand men on foot, besides women and children.38 Many other people went up with them, and also large droves of livestock, both flocks and herds.39 With the dough the Israelites had brought from Egypt, they baked loaves of unleavened bread. The dough was without yeast because they had been driven out of Egypt and did not have time to prepare food for themselves.
What a sight that was.
40 Now the length of time the Israelite people lived in Egypt was 430 years. 41 At the end of the 430 years, to the very day, all the Lord’s divisions left Egypt. 42 Because the Lord kept vigil that night to bring them out of Egypt, on this night all the Israelites are to keep vigil to honor the Lord Of the generations to come.
The Lord is very precise in keeping time, in celebrating the festivals, in every appointed day. There is a reason for that and it is prophetic. To tell everyone exactly what would happen from the very beginning, just another way we can see how awesome our God is.
43 The Lord said to Moses and Aaron, “These are the regulations for the Passover meal: “No foreigner may eat it. 44 Any slave you have bought may eat it after you have circumcised him,45 but a temporary resident or a hired worker may not eat it.
You have to be a believer. Circumcision is a sign of the covenant. The term “slave” here is not equivalent to what was meant by Southern slavery. You couldn’t purchase anyone until they were old enough to sign the contract themselves. The contract was not for life (unless the slave chose to not go out free), instead the contract was an agreed upon payment in return for a certain amount of labor. What we call “employees” the Bible calls slaves.
46 “It must be eaten inside the house; take none of the meat outside the house. Do not break any of the bones. 47 The whole community of Israel must celebrate it.
Remember, “not a bone of Him was broken”. All of these ordinances point us to how great our God is. Today the house of God is the church. We eat the Lord’s table where two or three are gathered together at the very least. The church life is a corporate life. This is a picture of a corporate salvation, just like the first rapture which is of the church in Philadelphia. However we see the salvation in stages, this age, the age of grace, began with the Lord's table with Jesus being our Passover feast. That was the time at which we were thrust out of Egypt. The death and resurrection of the Lord at that time as well as our baptism during this age depicts us crossing the Red sea. We have a destination, it is the good land, the coming kingdom. The key stop on this journey will be Mount Sinai, which depicts Pentecost shortly after the Lord's crucifixion. Then again, at this same time the children of Israel crossed the Jordan river. Both in the old and new testament our salvation is depicted in stages, you have seven churches in Revelation depicting the stages by which this community, the church, is saved. Likewise in the book of Numbers you see the Israelites going through stages as well where they are purified.
48 “A foreigner residing among you who wants to celebrate the Lord’s Passover must have all the males in his household circumcised; then he may take part like one born in the land. No uncircumcised male may eat it.
The term foreigner is not racist. It is about a covenant. If you don’t have a covenant with God you have no business eating this feast. Circumcision is the Old Testament sign of the covenant. In the New Testament the sign is that God has circumcised our heart with the cross of Christ. You must embrace the cross and take up your own cross if you wish to partake of this salvation. If you do not know the Lord Jesus and have not received Him as your savior then you are a stranger to the covenant and promises of God.
49 The same law applies both to the native-born and to the foreigner residing among you.” 50 All the Israelites did just what the Lord had commanded Moses and Aaron. 51 And on that very day the Lord brought the Israelites out of Egypt by their divisions.
And that is the key, fear God, obey his commandments. Do exactly what the Lord commands and the Lord will bring us out when He raptures the church. The Lord is transforming us into a kingdom people, a priestly people, a people conformed to His image.
