Out Of Egypt

August 7, 2021

Series: Single Sermons

The video is a sermon about the spiritual significance of Egypt in the Bible, specifically focusing on the story of the Israelites’ deliverance from Egypt. The speaker begins by emphasizing the importance of understanding how this story applies to believers today. He explains that just as the Israelites were physically delivered from Egypt, there is also a spiritual Egypt that believers need to be delivered from.

The speaker references Exodus 14:26-28, which describes how the Lord saved the Israelites from the Egyptians by parting the Red Sea and then causing it to return and cover the Egyptians. He highlights that this was a complete and perfect deliverance by God.

However, just two chapters later in Exodus 16:3, the Israelites begin to complain and long for the food they had in Egypt. The speaker emphasizes that this shows how they missed Egypt and were not fully delivered in their hearts.

The speaker then connects this story to other biblical passages that illustrate how Moses is a type of Christ. He explains that just as Moses led the Israelites out of physical Egypt, Jesus leads believers out of spiritual Egypt. He also discusses how the Israelites’ idolatry with the golden calf represents their desire to return to the gods of Egypt.

The speaker further explains that Egypt represents bondage to sin, and the Israelites’ deliverance from Egypt symbolizes believers’ deliverance from sin through Christ. He emphasizes that believers need to fully surrender their sins and not hold onto any attachment to Egypt.

The speaker also discusses how the concept of Egypt is tied to the idea of bondage throughout the Bible. He references the story of Abraham and Hagar, explaining that Hagar represents bondage and Ishmael represents the flesh. He connects this to Paul’s writings in Galatians, where he talks about being free from the bondage of the law through faith in Christ.

The speaker then highlights how the struggle with sin and the desire to return to Egypt is still relevant for believers today. He discusses how the Israelites’ complaints about food in the wilderness mirror believers’ struggles with sin and their longing for the things of the world.

The speaker emphasizes the importance of fully surrendering to God and allowing Him to blot out our sins. He explains that just as the Israelites had to go through the wilderness to reach the promised land, believers also go through a process of sanctification to reach the heavenly Canaan.

The video concludes by discussing the significance of the 144,000 mentioned in Revelation. The speaker connects this to the Israelites’ deliverance from Egypt and their singing of a song of victory. He encourages believers to strive to be part of the 144,000 who are sealed and stand victorious over the beast and its image.

Overall, the video emphasizes the need for believers to be fully delivered from spiritual Egypt and to live in obedience to God’s commandments. It encourages believers to have faith in Christ’s deliverance and to strive for sanctification in preparation for Christ’s second coming.
