Podcast: The children of Israel remain in Egypt 400 years. God told Abraham this would happen to them

 

 
Genesis 15  (God speaking to Abraham)

13 And HE (God) said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years;

14 And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance.

God sets everything to work to accomplish HIS will on this earth!  

Relax.  God is in charge!

I Corinthians 10:11 Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.

God caused a famine throughout the whole earth in the days of Joseph.

This famine caused the children of Israel to come down into Egypt to buy corn.

Joseph was 2nd only to Pharaoh in Egypt and all who bought corn had to buy though the hands of Joseph.

Eventually the children of Israel made their home in Egypt and stayed there for 400 years as God told Abraham they would, as slaves to the Egyptians.

At the beginning of their time in Egypt, Joseph was there and provided for them through God.  

But there was a Pharaoh who knew not Joseph and everything changed for the children of Israel.

Toward the end of their stay in Egypt, the bondage of the Egyptians became very severe and when the Children of Israel continued to multiply greatly in Egypt, Pharaoh ordered every male Hebrew child to be slain at birth.  (Deliverance from God was then very near.)  

Often when it gets very hard, it shows us we are nearer the end and God makes a way to escape.

Remember this as we approach the end of this world today, and the great tribulation, and the deliverance of us from this present earth by Jesus when HE takes us to the new heaven and the new earth created by God for us wherein dwells only righteousness.

The apostle John saw a vision of the new heaven and new earth and shows it to us in the following scripture.

Revelation 21

1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.

2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and HE will dwell with them, and they shall be HIS people, and God Himself shall be with them, and be their God.

4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

5 And HE that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new.

God chose Moses to lead the deliverance of the children of Israel from Egypt.
