30 Days To Understanding The Bible-Exodus Era

Exodus Era is our topic for today from our book, “30 Days to Understanding the Bible,” by Max Anders. This chapter will explore grumbling and complaining people who struggle with following directions. When I think of the Exodus era, I am reminded that I, too, can struggle with following God’s instructions for my life.

An Exodus scenario

Have you ever felt like you were the best person to make the decision?

Do you know what I mean? Let me give you an example.

There’s something you are just dying to do, but everyone has told you that doing this one thing would be detrimental to your health and well-being. Your friends have said that though you asked them to pray, going through with it is something they feel would be displeasing to God. But you insist because you know you. You know how you would handle the situation and foresee the outcome. So you move forward against their godly advice and sound judgment.

And then, whammo!

Precisely what your friends advised you against has happened, and you can’t understand why God allowed it to happen and why God didn’t save you from the consequence of your decision.

God heard the cries of the Israelites, and he sent Moses to rescue them from the oppression of the Egyptians. And as great as that was for the Israelites, they became impatient once they crossed the river and tried to move forward without God. Bad decision. Poor Moses led them around the desert for forty years because of disobedience.

God gives them the law.

Moses is our central figure for the Exodus era, and the primary location is in Egypt.

Our four significant events in this era are as follows:

  1. Deliverance
  2. The Law
  3. Kadesh Barnea
  4. Forty Years of Wandering

Join me as we look into each of these main events.
