The portrayal of Pharaoh as a serpent-king (Exod. 3:19\u201320; 4:2\u20133; 9:15\u201316; cf. Ps. 74:13\u201314; Isa. 51:9\u201311; Ezek. 29:3; 33:2) allows the original exodus to recall the redemptive promise that the first woman\u2019s offspring would bruise the head of the serpent, thus overcoming the curse and bringing blessing from God to the world (Gen. 3:15; cf. 22:17\u201328).<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because Moses himself treats the exodus event as a typological pattern for future deliverance (Exod. 15:12\u201316), the prophets naturally used exodus imagery to portray the future end-time redemption that God promised and that was associated with his messianic king. Isaiah predicted that in the Messiah\u2019s day\u2014the day of the second exodus\u2014Yahweh\u2019s people would praise and thank him because \u201cthe LORD GOD is my strength and my song, and he has become my salvation\u201d (Isa. 12:2; cf. Exod. 15:2). Revelation 15:1\u20134 fulfills that \u201cnew song\u201d (cf. Rev. 5:9\u201310; 14:3): those of us surviving the Lord\u2019s wrath will once again stand next to a quieted sea while singing \u201cthe song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb.\u201d Through his life, death, and resurrection, Jesus representatively inaugurated a new exodus on behalf of God\u2019s people (Luke 9:30\u201331; cf. Matt. 11:5 with Isa. 35:5\u20136; 61:1\u20132; Mark 1:1\u20133 with Isa. 40:3). The result is that those in him \u201cgo out\u201d and \u201cseparate\u201d from the world (2 Cor. 6:17; cf. Isa. 52:11), following the Lord en route to the consummated new creational rest (Heb. 4:8; cf. Matt. 11:28).\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><br style=\"font-weight: 400;\" \/><br style=\"font-weight: 400;\" \/><\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"give_campaign_id":0,"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","_crdt_document":""},"class_list":["post-4544","reading-plan","type-reading-plan","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/handstotheplow.org\/am\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/reading-plan\/4544","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/handstotheplow.org\/am\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/reading-plan"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/handstotheplow.org\/am\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/reading-plan"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/handstotheplow.org\/am\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4544"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
