Musing - Does Exodus Foretell Coming Events in Revelation?

 Hebraic Musing - Does Exodus Foretell Coming Events in Revelation?

Our Hebrew forefathers were enslaved in Egypt; and we also find ourselves enslaved here in this world.  Our hope is based on the coming fulfilment of our Savior’s promise in the book of Revelation.  Have you considered that events in the book of Exodus might be a foreshadowing of events promised in the book of Revelation?

                                    redeem you with an outstretched arm and with great judgments.” Ex.6:6 NKJV

                                    before You, For Your judgments have been manifested.” Rev.15:4 NKJV

Exodus           Pharaoh’s rule - represents and parallels Satan rule.    
Revelation      God rules - Speaks of the home for the “Children of Israel”

Points to ponder

What an awesome God we serve?!?!   He has already laid out plans for His children!

While Israelites experienced “Exodus” were they able to see “Revelation” in their future?

What are we obliged to do now that will have eternal consequences?

♫ “Therefore the redeemed of the Lord shall return, And come with singing unto Zion; And everlasting joy shall be upon their head. They shall obtain gladness and joy; And sorrow and mourning shall flee away. ♫
