are really all connected by one theme.
So we are going to break it down together.
Consecrate- Could either mean to sacrifice, or the most likely meaning here, “consider as belonging to God.”
This consecration was to be done for the first born males.
Both man and beast.
They were not only do consecrate their first born males but they were to participate in a feast of unleavened bread.
In order for us to understand what is being said, we need to understand what it means to be redeemed.
The word redeemed could be defined as - “to buy back, or to be ransomed”
Its the concept that If something it someone is kidnapped, and parents pay a certain price in order to buy back their child.
This is a symbolic way of saying that the first born was taken away from them and they had to buy them back.
There are really 2 primary reasons for this.
#1.
Remind Israel of the passover.
#2.
To serve as a foreshadowing of Jesus redeeming us.
God did not lead the Israelites where they would encounter a fight and lose their faith.
Instead he led them toward the red sea.
Joseph had predicted that God would bring the Israelites out of Egypt and it was his dying request that he be taken and buried elsewhere.
God told Moses to make the people camp by the sea to make Pharaoh think he could overtake them and the Israelites would ultimately win the battle.
The people saw the army coming toward them and they lost faith and began to doubt.... wouldn’t we?
I used to think that as soon as they saw the Egyptians God parted the waters and the people ran away.
That isn’t exactly the case.
The pillar of cloud separated the camps and remained there all night long.
Then Moses stretched out the staff and a strong wind blew and divided the waters and dried the ground.
Then Moses stretched out his staff again, the waters collapsed on the Egyptians.
When our faith is tested
We need to remember that things are not as bad as they seem.
the Israelites thought that their enemy was overwhelming.
It turned out to not be the case.
We need to look to God.
- They cried out to the Lord and He delivered them.
We need to move forward.
- God told them to go forward.
Toward the sea.
Something that didn’t seem to make sense.
