You can read the Exodus account if you like, but most of us know the story. Please, ignore the movie versions, as they are loaded with artistic liberties which detract from the real story.
To summarize, the tiny household of Israel was warned by God to flee the Promised Land. He wanted to grow the household to a larger size in a safe place while He performed some scheduled maintenance in the Levant, in the form of a major drought. At that time, the Nile Delta was the place lots of wandering tribes would visit. This was during one of those strange times when the Royal Egyptian family was more interested in the Upper Nile, and liked having wild nomadic tribes guarding their northern approach. So Israel was granted some space on the Nile.
The Hyksos invaded, and they were much more interested in the Lower Nile. People get confused because these invaders didn’t kill the native Egyptians; they simply became the new royal family. The old Egyptians still thought of Israel as good people, but the Hyksos hated Israel. Intending to build and use it far more than their predecessors, they were not so happy with strong nations occupying all that prime real estate in the Nile Delta. So they began to oppress them, slowly at first, but eventually it became abject slavery. Israel managed to prosper, and the Lord sent a deliverer. God’s quirky management of things saw this young fellow raised by the Hyksos royalty, and a very successful adopted prince he was. The natural royal heir felt threatened, and waited for his chance to get rid of the upstart.
The upstart was equally ambitious. He knew he was actually Hebrew, and thought maybe he could curry his nation’s favor and raise them up to assist his political fortunes and take the throne. But the Hebrews were too cynical about their own fate, and figured this upstart was just going to get them killed, and things were bad enough already. These Hebrews really weren’t very warlike. So they exposed the upstart’s plans and he fled. Meanwhile, the royal heir took his throne and continued the plans, even more oppressive than before. Our upstart went out into the wastelands to the east, and added to his Egyptian education with a long course in ANE meditation and mysticism. He was ready to play shepherd boy for the rest of his life, but the Lord had other plans. He showed Moses how He intended to use him. Deliver the nation, yes, but not by military might and politics.
Moses was a whiner, but went along with it. Eventually he got used to his new role, and demanded his former rival let him take the Israeli Nation out of the Delta. We can’t be sure all the reasons why Pharaoh resisted, since he was a pretty intelligent guy. But while it seemed a matter of economics — he liked having such a vast slave labor pool — it was also a very big matter of politics and competing religions. There was some banter and competing shows of supernatural power, but eventually the Hyksos were pounded by a series of disasters which it seemed Moses was causing by his supernatural powers. At some point, the court magicians were outmatched, but Pharaoh tried to hold out, lest he lose his claim to divinity. Negotiations fell apart, and something struck which killed the prime heir of every family; no household was exempt.
That is, except those in the Hebrew nation. They had ritually painted their door frames with the blood of sacrificial lambs, and this killing thing passed over their households.
The Hebrew narrative is loaded with symbolism and figures of speech. A slavishly literal reading, digging around for precise details, is silly, and shows you don’t get the point. Hebrew writing blends dry detail with hyperbole, because the objective is not some clinical description, but it’s aimed it transporting you into the story, breathing life into the narrative. You were there!
And you are there now. Americans in particular, but Westerners in general, the Lord is unleashing His wrath upon you. We have violated the cosmic moral imperatives and Creation itself is sick of us. The blood of our brothers cries out to God from the ground, and we have defiled every good thing He gave us. Now is the time to figure out the symbolic meaning of the Passover Lamb, because the only hope for escaping this devastation is to paint that blood on your household’s door frame.
I’ll give you a hint: Modern Israel is a blasphemous fake, trying to steal from a history which is not theirs. The Exodus is the single event which gave Ancient Israel life, the defining event of their national birth. Whomever it is now sitting in that land claiming the promises of that Covenant of Moses don’t even know what that covenant requires. They literally fled from the requirements of the real thing, and using the same sort of words as the Law have crafted some perverted mess of rules and silly pedantic reasoning they learned from a very pagan nation. When someone showed up to correct this perversion, they murdered Him. Not a single day, hour, minute, not a single second during the entire history of Modern Israel have they ever once called on the God of Moses. Not for a second have they embraced the Covenant God gave Moses, because not for a second do they even understand what it’s about. God’s own Son said so.
Our American slavery to this perverted enclave of Satanic murderers and thieves is our oppression under the lash of Pharaoh. When the wrath of God comes upon this nation, if you don’t have that blood on the door frame of your household, you will not escape. You have to obey the Laws of God a whole lot better than the folks who claim the legacy of Moses today. You have to rise to the high standard of the Son who explained what that Law was all about, describing a higher Law of God. This isn’t about born-again grace; this is about the Laws and God’s wrath on this level of existence. Something wicked this way comes, and it has your name written all over it unless you show you aren’t part of what keeps us enslaved here.
I’m not Moses, nor am I qualified to tie his shoes. But I refuse to be silent in the face of such incredible arrogance and sin which lays claims to his name. This Modern Israel is accursed, a lie of Satan, a millstone chained to your neck. Cut it loose or drown in their bloodbath. Disavow Israel or watch your family die.
