God Rescues His People Birth of a Nation According to Exodus

The book of Exodus is foundational in understanding the importance and the uniqueness of the nation of Israel. Genesis tells us how the Israelites came to be Egyptian citizens, Exodus tells us how God miraculously extracted them from Egyptian control to become a unique nation in their own right.It also tells us about the first passover and the fact that that month became the first month of the Jewish calendar This account of the choosing of Moses and his singularly unique training for the role of Leader, his calling by God at the burning bush and the way in which he came to grow into the role and develop into an astounding leader is both interesting and absorbing.The most significant moment for the nation was in their spiritual betrothal to God on Mount Sinai. The moment when God Himself spoke to the people direct from the mountain. It is an event that has never been repeated by any other nation.As the Old Testament, particularly the five books of Moses, provided the basis for all Paul's teaching after he had been set aside and taught by the Spirit of God during his time in lodgings in Straight Street Damascus, this and the other books of Moses should be essential reading and study material for all modern day believers. Studying them in order to write my books has been both eye opening and absorbing. Greatly beneficial.
