Egypt to Canaan – Part I of V

[Printable version]
[Also published in Nuggets for the Needy]

Omega Message – August 1985

Mavis M. duCille

God called a people out of Egypt’s bondage to a land of Promise specifically to serve Him and to live out a Covenant with Him, which is a type of God’s calling a people out of the world and sin (Egypt) to serve Him in righteousness and to reign with Him forever.

Moses was prepared of God and sent as a deliverer of the Children of Israel; the same as Jesus was sent of God the Father to deliver His children from the bondage of sin in the world.

The EXODUS therefore has a place in God’s revelation of Himself to His people, not only in the old but also in the New Covenant in which the Passover Lamb is a type of our Lord’s sacrifice and the Passover feast a memorial of our redemption.

Rameses to Succoth:

Rameses, the city of pharaoh is the symbol of our house of bondage or the place of our incarceration.  The things of the world which take the Christian captive would be described as our Rameses.  Man could not deliver Israel from Pharaoh and his mighty army, but the blood of the lamb shed as an atonement, delivered Israel at midnight.  Rameses II named the city after himself, but the original name was ZOAN.  Isn’t it just like our Lord to take us out of ZOAN, a city of bondage to ZION the city of God.  Six hundred thousand men not counting women and children went with Moses out of Rameses, and since six is the number of carnal man – They all perished in the wilderness.  Carnality cannot enter the Promised Land.

The word Rameses comes from the root word “rawah” which means to spoil by breaking to pieces, to make good for nothing.  This is a Perfect description of what we were in sin.  The word Succoth means “booths” or tents of betrothal.  When Christ delivers us from our place of bondage, He betrotheds us to himself though we still are in the wilderness and brings us into His booth or tabernacle.

Israel was led through the wilderness by the Angel of God.  This angel chose their camping sites for them, the route they should take; covered them with a cloud by day and gave them light with a pillar of fire by night.  This surely is a type of the Christian journey which, instead of an angel, we have the Holy Ghost (God himself) within and without, and His angels around us continuously.

The whole journey of Israel is a type of the Christian journey and this series will continue in our next issue, studying the journey from Egypt to Canaan in its spiritual implications for us today.

God Bless You!
