The
Book of
Exodus relates the forming of the children of
Israel into a
Church and a nation. We have hitherto seen true
religion shown in domestic
Life, now, we begin to trace its
effects upon the concerns of kingdoms and nations.
Exodus
signifies "the departure;" the chief event therein recorded is
the departure of
Israel from
Egypt and Egyptian
Bondage; it
plainly points out the fulfilling of several promises and
prophecies to
Abraham respecting his seed, and shadows forth the
state of the
Church, in the
Wilderness of this world, until her
arrival at the heavenly
Canaan, an eternal
Rest.
