1. For a little more than four hundred years, the Jews relayed the PROMISE made to Abraham from father to son. At the appointed time, God raised Moses to lead the "EXODUS" from BONDAGE to the LIBERTY of the PROMISED LAND. EXODUS also mean SH’MOT in Hebrew, that is, NAMES; the BOOK of NAMES of every SOUL that went down to Egypt and those that came out [Exodus 1:1] How exciting, God also has a BOOK OF NAMES written in heaven from the foundation of the world, "... and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, WHOSE NAMES WERE NOT WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF LIFE FROM THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is" (Revelation 17:8)
2.
In Egypt, the PASSOVER LAMB was the VISA to the PROMISED LAND; those who had the BLOOD of the LAMB on their door posts escaped DEATH at the hand of the DESTROYER (Exodus 12:23) The DESTROYER is in the world for the last time and this time, the blood of animals will not be enough. At the appointed time, God presented Himself to us in Jesus Christ as our PASSOVER LAMB. As in Egypt we are also required to EAT His FLESH, “… Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye EAT the FLESH of the SON of man, and DRINK HIS BLOOD, ye have no LIFE IN YOU” [John 6:53] His FLESH is the GOSPEL preached in the NAME of Jesus Christ and through His BLOOD we receive GRACE for our SALVATION. Friend, I plead with you to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour today and take your place in the “.. GENERAL ASSEMBLY and CHURCH OF THE FIRSTBORN, which are WRITTEN IN HEAVEN, ...“ [Hebrews 12:23]
3. Beloved, the Lord is not ignorant of present harsh times and global instability but has chosen such a time to take us HOME, "And when THESE THINGS BEGIN TO COME TO PASS, then LOOK UP, and LIFT UP YOUR HEADS; for YOUR REDEMPTION DRAWETH NIGH" (Luke 21:28) As the present world lurch from calamity to confusion, LIFT UP YOUR HEAD, WE ARE GOING HOME. Refuse to be DISTRACTED and "LET NOT YOUR HEART BE TROUBLED: ye believe in God, believe also in me. ... And if I go and prepare a place for you, I WILL COME AGAIN, AND RECEIVE YOU UNTO MYSELF; that where I am, there ye may be also" (John 14:1-3) As the global economy lurches from crisis to crisis, fabrics of society are shredded and forces of nature at war, hold on to Christ "... the PEOPLE THAT DO KNOW THEIR GOD SHALL BE STRONG, AND DO EXPLOITS" Daniel 11:32)
