Message:
The awesome Journey!!!
Text:“And it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the people go, that God led them not through the way of the land of the Philistines, although that was near; for God said, lest peradventure the people repent when they see war, and they return to Egypt. But God led the people about the Red sea: and the children of Israel went up harnessed out of the land of Egypt.” [Exodus 13:17]
Definition:
Departure: – Going away; a deviation from (the truth, a standard); the starting of a train, air craft, etc. (2) Setting out on a course of action, or thought.
The Journey
The Departure, or Exodus, by the Ancient Hebrews was from physical slavery and bondage in Egypt under Pharaoh. According to the Old Testament, Yahweh/Jehovah led the Hebrew slaves, who were under Moses’ leadership, out of the land of Egypt with an out stretched hand; and guided them into the wilderness where they spent 40 years wandering, “Until all the generation, that had done evil in the sight of the Lord had was consumed,” [Numbers 32:13] thence into Canaan the Promised Land.
Interestingly, to keep the Ancient Hebrews separate from the world, and set apart unto Himself in the Promised Land when they would have gotten there, Yahweh commanded that the Hebrews should not follow the way of life, or the lifestyle of the seven ungodly Nations whom He had planned to cast out before them. It is written:
“And when the Lord shall have delivered them before thee, thou shalt smite them, and utterly destroy them; thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor shalt show no mercy with them: neither shall thou make marriages with them; thy daughter thou shall not give unto his son, nor his daughter shall thou take unto thy son. For they will turn away thy son from following me that they may serve other gods: so will the anger of the Lord be kindled against you, and destroy thee suddenly…. ” [Deuteronomy 7:1-10]
The World in contrast to the Word
Beloved, the Biblical definition of the term ‘world’ would help us to understand why. Please reach for your Bible and find 1John Chapter 2 and let’s read verses 15-17. It says,
“Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.” (KJV)
Beloved, you will agree with me, according to the Word in the above mentioned definition:
- That there is a clear cut distinction between ‘the love of the world’, and ‘the love of the heavenly Father’
- That there is no ‘love of the Father’ in anyone, who loves the world
- That desires of the flesh, and those of the eyes, as well as those temporal things in this life that make man so proud are not of the heavenly Father
- That the definition also gives the reader/student a sense of knowing which of the two, namely, ‘the world,’ or ‘the doer of the will of God,’ will last for ever, and
- That our heavenly Father’s will is, that His love be in the individual: and non- conformity to the world through a mind renewed by His power is what makes His love in the Believer possible. [Romans 12:1-2; 1John 2:15-16]
Yahweh gives us a sense of belonging and identity
Thankfully, the Heavenly Father gives those of us who choose to be committed to His love, a sense of belonging, as well as a sense of identity, too. For example, the heavenly Father claimed ownership of the liberated in both periods, namely, the Old and the New Testament:
The Old Testament
(1) To Ancient Hebrews under the law: Moses said to them,
“For thou art a holy people unto the Lord thy God: the Lord thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto Himself above all that are on the face of the earth. The Lord did not set His love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people; for ye were the fewest of all people. But because the Lord loved you, and because He would keep the oath which He had sworn unto your fathers, hath the Lord brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bond men, from the hand of Pharaoh King of Egypt. [Deuteronomy 7:6-8]
The New Testament
(2) To those of us under Grace through faith in Christ, the Word (New Testament scripture) is saying to us,
“If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious, to whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious, ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ….” “But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people, that ye should shew forth the praises of Him who hath called you out of darkness into His marvelous light: which in time past you were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.” [1Peter 2:9-10]
Important truths we, who are committed to the love of the heavenly Father, must know are:
- That YAHWEH is a jealous God. [Exodus 20:4]
- That Yahweh the Lord our God, “He is God, the faithful God, which keepeth the covenant and mercy of them that love Him and keepeth His commandment to a thousand generations; and repayeth them that hate Him to the face, to destroy them….” [Deuteronomy 7:6-10]
- That we should not put other gods before Him [Exodus 20:3]
- That no carved image, or likeness of things in the three dimensions should be made, or served or worshiped
- That Yahweh our Father and Creator of heaven and earth visits the iniquity of the fathers upon the children of the third and fourth generation of them that hate Him, and shows mercy unto thousands of them who love Him and keep is words, and [Exodus 20:4]
- That we should not take the name of Yahweh the Lord in vain.
Beloved, an example of Yahweh’s judgement poured out upon the iniquity of those Ancient Hebrews, “who had turned aside quickly out of the way” which He had commanded them: and had made and worshiped a molten calf, may be found in Exodus 32:1-10] Please read said verses of scripture to confirm said statement
My thoughts
In the Old Testament, Yahweh’s judgement upon the rebellious was swift: but, today, it is slow but sure. And “we get away with “murder” as we often say. Thanks to Yahweh for His extended grace and mercy towards mankind as a whole, through Christ Jesus our Savior and Lord.
Beloved, separateness from the world is a requirement of Yahweh, that we ought to obey in order to be set apart unto Him, and to partake in the bigger picture of His love for His people both now, and beyond this temporal life, even in eternity.
Make your calling and election sure today, is my prayer. Amen. Shalom.
