There are many commentaries that explore the themes that became prominent in the Exodus story and subsequently permeated the rest of scripture. In Judaism and Christianity the concept of salvation and relationship with Almighty God takes form with the Exodus story, from the Passover (redemptive work of the blood of the Lamb) to Tabernacles (the promise of eternity with God) and everything in between.
Those who read the book of Revelation will notice a striking similarity between the two witnesses of chapter eleven and the two witnesses of the Exodus; Moses and Aaron. But there are more subtle similarities between the Exodus story and Apocalyptic prophecies that are worth exploring. They appear more like a parallel found in music. Multiple pieces of music may share the same keynote but use different movements to explore the same scale or theme. No one piece is the complete work but together they contribute to the revelation of the symphony.
The emphasis of this study is not seeking direct correlations between the characters and events of the Exodus story with characters and events of Apocalyptic prophecy, although some do exist. It is rather to explore the reasonableness that a parallel exists between a specific prophecy and the Exodus story and if the parallel is reasonable then what might be extrapolated to enhance the understanding of the Apocalypse.
If ever there is a study that requires revision over time as God’s truth is revealed, this has to be one. What is understood today may well find support in the future or collapse as the Word of God becomes better understood. In any case, I hope you follow this series of articles as we explore the associations between the Exodus and the Apocalypse and their relevance, if any. Continue to visit this page for new postings.
