Revision as of 21:39, 10 June 2014

Chapter 1

פרעה Pharaoh (d. revenge, great house)

פרע (d. naked, unbridled, long hair).

פר (d. bullock)

Israel was forced to make fake stone. (like at Babel)

Pharaoh : Herod wanted to kill children

Midwives : Magi thwarted him.

So he killed them directly

Chapter 2

Moses hid for three months. Put him in an ark. Ark, Ark, Mary/Cross

Literally went into Egypt (house of Pharaoh) and came out to be raised by Mother, then returned to the house of the one who wanted to kill him.

Moses means 'to remove' or 'drawn' Jesus would remove his people from the world.

Moses had to kill the judge. Marriage at Cana.

Zipporah (d. bird) (d. depart early) (c. Zipporah is the first wife of Christ.) (m. Israel) Gershom (d. exile)

Turn the hearts of the father to the children.

Ex 2:24 And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.

Chapter 3

Chapter 4

Based on the symbols defined in

Ex 7:1 And the LORD said unto Moses, See, I have made thee a god to Pharaoh: and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet.

Moses is God and Aaron is Jesus.

So I took Exodus 4 and replaced Moses with MYLORD just so you can track when it was originally God vs a changed name.

Then I replaced Aaron with Jesus.

I filled in other symbols along the way. Each symbol replacement can be verified by at least two or three 'witnesses'.

The verses now seem to suggest a conversation between "the Lord

and MYLORD" as David hinted and Jesus confirmed (Psalm 2, Matthew 22:41-45).

and take it by the tail. And he put forth his hand, and caught it, and

Commentary

Exod 4:1

David suggested that God has conversations "within himself":

Ps 110:1 A Psalm of David. The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.

Mt 22:44 The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool?

Lu 20:42 And David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,

Ac 2:34 For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,

Exod 4:2

"The power of God in discipline" is speaking about the cross. Judgment has been given to Christ.

Joh 5:27 And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.

Exod 4:3

cast it on the ground

The 'power of God in discipline' might be said to be the power to execute judgement. Christ was given all authority to judge. This is a shadow of Christ becoming incarnate.

he fled

Rev 5:3 And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.

Christ in heaven faced a deity-sized temptation to avoid the cross. The idea of being made sin was so repulsive that initially he said he would not do it. For some interval in eternity, all creation holds it's breath as Rev 5:3 records that there is no one worthy. Jesus also tells the parable of the two brothers:

Matt 21:28 ¶ But what think ye? A certain man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work to day in my vineyard.

29 He answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented, and went.

30 And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I go, sir: and went not.

31 Whether of them twain did the will of his father? They say unto him, The first. Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.

Jesus can relate to the harlots and the publicans because he himself did not wish to do the Father's will. He faced Gethsemane experiences both in heaven and on earth where he put aside his own will in order to obey the Father.

The book of Hebrews makes the point repeatedly that Israel did

not receive grace through the law or through the temple sacrifices. They

received a promise of grace only.

Had the days of Christ's tribulation not been shortened, and he

had been beaten to death in prison, no flesh would have been saved (Mark

13:20).

So until Christ said "It is finished" there was but a promise of grace.

The cross was not just a symbol of grace having been bestowed

from the beginning, it is what made grace effectual. He really suffered to make it effectual, he was really tempted to not face the cross. He really had to put his own will away to do the will of the Father. These were not play acting, but real trials for Christ.

So although God planned for it from the beginning, there was a

time, as recorded in Rev 5, when no one was found in heaven, on earth or

under the earth to open the seal, until Jesus in the flesh, died to 

self at Gethsemane, then the Lion overcame and was found to be worthy.

He was made perfect and learned obedience through the things he suffered (Hebrews 5:8, 13:12; 1 Peter 5:10).

Exod 4:9

Christ's life blood poured out upon the dry earth from the cross (water and blood from the spear wound). And His body was buried in the land, from which it was raised with new life (zoe life) which could never die again. This is the life that His children inherit abundantly (John 10:10).

Exod 4:10

God speaks to all men, not just Israel, through His Word (Torah:word) and brought all creation into existence (Torah:works), but this is speech not clearly seen and personally identifying God (Psalm 19; Romans 1:18-32; Hebrews 1:1-3), when compared to the revelation of Jesus Christ (Torah:life).

All revelation of God, short of Christ's incarnation are the stutterings and slow speech compared to Christ, the Word.

Exod 4:11

Exod 4:12

Jesus is the living Word of God (John 1:1-3, 14) and the exact character of His divine substance (hypostasis; see Hebrews 1:3).

Exod 4:13

Exod 4:14

See Matt 21:28-31 In this parable, is it possible that Jesus is speaking of his own, very real, temptation to avoid the cross? At first he said, No.”, then did it?

Exod 4:16

Exod 4:17

This rod split the rock.

Exod 4:18

Exod 4:19

Death is physical and death is spiritual, which accounts for the double entendre of "men are dead." In the Greek NT life is of two types, which are carefully separated. One type of life is bios and is merely physical and temporary. The other type of life is zoe and is transcendent and eternal, the type of life God has and wants to give through Christ.

Exod 4:25

Zipporah is the first wife of Moses; hence she is the earthly wife. But the Church is the second wife, the heavenly wife.

Zipporah "prayed" is derived from the picture of her cutting the

flesh from her son and literally "touching Moses feet" with it. With Moses as MYLORD, the picture can be viewed as a position of submission and prayer. The first wife is asking that her sons (Israelites) be included in God's covenant with humankind, in remebrance of God's covenant with Abraham.

See <a href="http://idontknownuthin.com/wiki/index.php/Dwg:Bunch_of_women.jpg" title="Dwg:Bunch of women.jpg">Dwg:Bunch of women.jpg</a>

and remember the story of Leah and Rachel. The first wife was chosen 

for the son by the workings of the father, the second wife was called by

the son himself.  The first wife is in a 'threatened' position and is 

imploring him for security based upon the covenant.

Exod 4:26

In the shadows, when someone is threatened with death and then does not die, it is a death and resurrection image.

Exod 4:27

Jesus gives the best sacrifice (burning::kissing by Hebrew root word association) which is obedience. Aaron's kissing Moses is a picture of Jesus' obedient sacrifice to His Father.
