"Book of Exodus" Bible Study



" The Book of Exodus "

Author: Moses was the author of the Book of Exodus (Exodus 17:14, 24:4-7, 34:27).


Date: The Book of Exodus was written between 1440 and 1400 BC

Purpose of Writing: The word "exodus" means output. In God's time, the exodus of the Israelites from Egypt, marked the end of a period of oppression for the descendants of Abraham (Genesis 15:13), and the beginning of the fulfillment of the covenant of the promise made ​​to Abraham that their descendants not only inhabit the Promised Land, but would multiply and would become a great nation (Genesis 12:1-3, 7). The purpose of the book can be expressed as followed from the rapid growth of the descendants of Jacob in Egypt until the establishment of the theocratic nation in the Promised Land.

Theocratic: Teo which means religion, Cratos which means power. The power of religion, ie priests of any religion, those in power via u n system of government by a religious authority in the name of God.A c ommunity governed by this system.

Key Verses: "Now there arose a new king over Egypt, which knew not Joseph" (Exodus 1:8)

"And God heard their groaning and he remembered his covenant with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. And God looked upon the children of Israel, and God acknowledged them. (Exodus 2:24-25)

"It is the sacrifice of Jehovah's passover, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he smote the Egyptians, and delivered our houses. And the people bowed down and worshiped. "(Exodus 12:27)"I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage. Have no other gods before me. "(Exodus 20:2-3)

Brief Summary: Exodus begins where Genesis is as God deals with His chosen people, the Jews. Exodus continues the events from the time when Israel enters Egypt as guests of Joseph, who was a powerful figure in Egypt, until they were eventually freed from the cruel slavery to which they had been carried off by the "... a new king not know Joseph "(Exodus 1:8)



Chapters 1-14 describe the conditions of oppression of Jews under the rule of Pharaoh, the emergence of Moses as their deliverer, the plagues brought upon Egypt by God because of their leader's refusal to submit to Him, and the output Egypt. The sovereign and mighty hand of God is cherished in the miracles of the plagues - ending the plague of the death of the begotten and the institution of the first Easter - the liberation of the Israelites passing through the Red Sea and the destruction Egyptian army.

The central part of Exodus is devoted to the pilgrimage in the desert and the miraculous provision of God for His people. But though He gave them bread from heaven, bitter sweet water, water from the rock, victory over those who had destroyed, His Law written on tablets of stone by His own hand, and His presence as columns of fire and cloud, people continually murmured and rebelled against Him

The last third of the book, describes the construction of the Ark of the Covenant and the plan for the Tabernacle with its many sacrifices, altars, furniture, ceremonies and modes of worship.

Foreshadowings: The many sacrifices required the Israelites were an illustration of the supreme sacrifice of the Passover Lamb of God, Jesus Christ. On the night of the last plague in Egypt, sacrificed a lamb without blemish and blood was applied on the two doorposts and the lintel of the doors in the houses of the people of God, protecting them from the angel of death. This foreshadowed Jesus, the Lamb of God without blemish and without spot (1 Peter 1:19), whose blood applied to us, we are assured of eternal life. Among the symbolic presentation of Christ in the book of Exodus is the story of the water from the rock in Exodus 17:6. As Moses struck the rock to provide water of life for the people to drink and hit the Rock God for our salvation, Christ crucified for our sin, and the Rock left the gift of living water (John 4:10) . The provision of manna in the desert is a perfect picture of Christ, the Bread of Life (John 6:48), provided by God to give us life.

Practical Application: The Mosaic Law was given in part to show the human being who was unable to save. We are unable to please God by fulfilling the law, therefore Paul exhorts us to "put our faith in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by faith in Christ and not by observing the law, because by the works of the law no one will be justified "(Galatians 2:16).

God's provision for the Israelites, since his release from captivity to the manna and quail in the desert, are clear indications of His gracious provision for His people. God has promised to meet all our needs. "God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord." (1 Corinthians 1:9).
We must trust in the Lord, because He can get rid of everything. But God does not allow sin to go unpunished forever. As a result, we can trust His retribution and justice. When God delivers us from a bad situation, we must try not to return. When God demands something, he expects us to accomplish, but at the same time He gives us grace and mercy because He knows that for ourselves, we will never be able to fully comply.

NOVEDADES

"¿Debe o no, una iglesia dar el diez por ciento de las ofrendas que recibe?"

"¿Qué dice la Biblia acerca del diezmo?" Diezmar / ofrendar debe ser un gozo, una bendición.  Tristemente, casi nunca es ese el caso en la iglesia de hoy. Diezmar es un asunto con el que muchos cristianos luchan dia a dia. En muchas iglesias locales ponen demasiado énfasis en diezmar. Al mismo tiempo, muchos cristianos rehúsan someterse a la exhortación bíblica tocante a ofrendar al Señor. Diezmar es un concepto del Antiguo Testamento. El diezmo era un requisito de la ley en la cual todos los Israelitas ofrendaban al tabernáculo / templo el 10% de todo lo que ganaban y hacían crecer ( Levítico 27:30; Números 18:26; Deuteronomio 14:23; 2 Crónicas 31:5 ).  El Nuevo Testamento en ninguna parte ordena, o aún recomienda que los cristianos se sometan a un sistema legalista de diezmar.  Pablo declara que los creyentes deberían apartar una porción de sus ingresos a fin de dar soporte a la iglesia ( 1 Corintios 16:1-2 ). El Nuevo Testamento en ningún lugar señala un cierto porcent...

El Señor nos oye en el día de angustia

Que el Señor te oiga en momentos de angustia; que te defienda el Nombre, el Dios de Jacob. (Salmo 20:1) Cuando todo parece desmoronarse y nuestras almas están abatidas, hay una promesa que brilla como la luz en la oscuridad: el Señor nos escucha en el día de la angustia. Este breve, pero profundo versículo, revela el corazón de un Dios que no es indiferente a nuestro sufrimiento. Él no se limita a observar desde lejos, sino que inclina sus oídos al clamor sincero de quienes lo buscan. El salmista habla con certeza: «Que el Señor te oiga…». Nos reconforta saber que no estamos solos cuando el miedo llama a la puerta, cuando los planes fallan o cuando se nos acaban las fuerzas. La oración, en este contexto, no es un acto religioso vacío, sino un encuentro con el Dios vivo, que nos ayuda, nos protege y nos fortalece. Y todavía hay más: «que te defienda el Nombre, el Dios de Jacob». El nombre de Dios no es solo un título. Es una expresión de su carácter, su fidelidad, su pacto. El ...

Me siento seguro a la sombra del Altísimo

¿Alguna vez te has sentido perdido, impotente o con miedo de lo que te depara el futuro? Hay un lugar donde podemos encontrar seguridad y paz, incluso en medio de las tormentas de la vida. En el Salmo 91:1-2, la Palabra de Dios nos recuerda: El que habita al abrigo del Altísimo morará bajo la sombra del Todopoderoso. Diré yo al SEÑOR: “¡Refugio mío y castillo mío, mi Dios en quien confío!”. (Salmo 91:1-2) Estas palabras nos invitan a tener una relación íntima con Dios, nuestro Padre amoroso. Él no nos promete que no enfrentaremos dificultades, pero garantiza que cuando buscamos refugio en él, encontramos protección, consuelo y fuerza para seguir adelante. Habitar en el lugar secreto del Altísimo significa confiar completamente en Dios, entregándole nuestros miedos, preocupaciones y sueños.
