In Exodus, Moses, being a type of the Law of God or Commandment of God, commanded that Pharaoh let the Hebrews go. Pharaoh, in disobedience to the commandment, refused and ended up as the story goes loosing his first-born son before he let them go. This could be viewed as the opposite of the plan of redemption of God. Pharaoh because of disobedience lost his first born son as opposed to Jesus being the first born only begotton son of God laying down his life in obedience to the Father. One died because of disobedience and the other died in obedience.

Now as the story goes the Hebrew people followed Moses headed to the Land of Promise made by God. I must point out that actually they were not following Moses at all but God in the form of a pillar of cloud by day and fire by night. The pillar of cloud and fire was God that was doing the leading. It is compared to the Spirit of God spoken of in the New Testament or the Holy Ghost. So we see a picture of the Hebrew people being delivered by the hand of God from Egypt(Sin) and being led by the Spirit up until they reached Mount Sinai. This is where the saga unfolds! At this point the Hebrew people became weak and weary in the journey to the Land of Promise and began to look back at what they had left behind. Although they were saved from Egypt(Sin) they began to look back towards it and long for it. They took their eyes off of the one that delivered them, the pillar of cloud by day and fire by night, which compared in the New Testament is the Holy Spirit.

There is no doubt that the Hebrew people were delivered from the bondage of Egypt, for their locale at the moment of looking back proves this out. They were free but desired to be in bondage again. So it is possible that once one is delivered from the bondage of sin and death for them to at some point look back at the bondage they were delivered from and desire to return to it. In the story the scriptures bear this out! Does that necessarily mean that because they were delivered or saved from this bondage that it was impossible for them to loose their salvation or deliverance giving validity to the OSAS doctrine? Let us continue to rightly divide the scripture and see. Let’s look at what the Hebrew people were saying just over two months after leaving Egypt. It is notable that they were in the wilderness between Elim and Sinai which is called the wilderness of Sin!

We can see this in the following scriptures:

In Conclusion

In this lesson we have saw the salvation of Israel by the hand of God from sin(Egypt) by the use of Moses. This perspective was of Moses being a “type” of the Law of God. In our next lesson we will look at Moses as a “type” of Christ followed by the Apostasy of the Israelites. Bear in mind that these things that were done of old were a foreshadow of Christ and the church today which started some 2000 years ago. They were written that we may learn of our Saviour coming to the knowledge of truth! Hopefully we are starting to see the danger in rejecting our deliverance from sin and death, bringing the OSAS doctrine to the light of scriptures and truth. Also, hopefully, when this lesson is done we will see the true Eternal Security of a believer. It looks somewhat different than the OSAS doctrine.

God Bless and open our understanding! Amen
