Exodus
21-12-2025
Isaiah 43:5–7
5 Fear not: for I am with thee: I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west; 6 I will say to the north, Give up; and to the south, Keep not back: bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the ends of the earth; 7 Even every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him.
The more we see the Bible come alive in these days the more we grow in confidence that the Book truly is true.
There is an EXODUS among the Jews that has been growing steadily since Israel became a nation in 1948 but seems certainly to be accelerating in these last days.
As we witness this, we also understand it translates directly to the nearness of the coming of Christ for his Church.
The more we see the last days events manifesting before our eyes, the more we realise that the window for the coming of Christ for his Church is narrowing.
One Exodus is Israel coming out of the World and into his land as he came out of Egypt thousands of years earlier.
The OTHER Exodus will be the Church from the earth when Jesus comes for his bride.
Joseph was only 17 years of age when his brothers sold him into slavery.
He was 30 years of age when the dreams he dreamed began to be realised as he rose to become second in charge of the world empire in Egypt.
Nine years later his brethren bowed down to him as they sought for food for Israel.
Joseph was 39 years of age when his family came to join him in Egypt.
God had a plan and a purpose, still being revealed.
For some 400 years they were troubled by the Egyptians, never suffered to remain too comfortable, for that was not their home.
It is interesting how the Bible often presents the World as a picture of Egypt, and how the Jews, having been in exile since the great DIASPORA, have never been suffered to get too comfortable.
God took them out of Egypt with a strong hand.
God seems to be taking them out from among the people of the world today.
6 I will say to the north, Give up; and to the south, Keep not back: bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the ends of the earth;
One Exodus is the blessings of the Jews from among the people of the world. What will happen to the world when its blessing is removed?
The other EXODUS will be the Church from the earth, what will transpire on the Earth when the Church is taken out of the world?
Revelation 3:10
10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
You have a purpose beloved, a role that you are going to play, are you willing to trust him as you witness his work in the world understood through his WORD?

Exile Prophesied
Luke 19:41–44
41 And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it, 42 Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes. 43 For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side, 44 And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.
The Jews were held accountable to know the timing of the coming of Christ when he came for them the first time.
The consequence of their rejection of him has come to be known as The Great Diaspora (Diaspora, is a greek word that simply means “Dispersion”).
John wrote;
John 1:10–11
10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. 11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
A time would come shortly after when a prince would come who would destroy the city and the sanctuary.
A version of an event that would be ultimately fulfilled with the rest of the prophecy of Jesus, an event known as “the time of Jacobs trouble”, a unique time of history when God shall combine the judgement of the world with the consequance of Israels rejection of her messiah.
Jeremiah 30:7
7 Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob’s trouble; but he shall be saved out of it.
Once before they had experienced the consequence of their rejection of God, a consequence long ago warned of.
Turn with me all the way back in history to the central book of the Books of Moses, Leviticus. The only book in the Bible named after a tribe of Israel.
Leviticus 26
In verse 27 god warns the people if they should not listen to him but walk contrary to him, he will do so to them.
And he says in v 30,
Leviticus 26:30–33
30 And I will destroy your high places, and cut down your images, and cast your carcases upon the carcases of your idols, and my soul shall abhor you. 31 And I will make your cities waste, and bring your sanctuaries unto desolation, and I will not smell the savour of your sweet odours. 32 And I will bring the land into desolation: and your enemies which dwell therein shall be astonished at it.
33 And I will scatter you among the heathen, and will draw out a sword after you: and your land shall be desolate, and your cities waste.
That last verse, verse 33 remained perfectly true, both when the Assyrians took away the Northern Kingdom of Israel, when the Babylonians took away the Southern Kingdom 150 years later.
“Scattered” they certainly were.
The land remaining “Desolate” and the “cities waste” would be repeated again during the final removal of the people from the land, the Great Diaspora, after they had rejected their Saviour.
Luke 13:35
35 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: and verily I say unto you, Ye shall not see me, until the time come when ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
And so The Exile Was Prophesied!
Exile Prolonged
They were warned in Deuteronomy 28:63-65 that EXILE would come;
63 And it shall come to pass, that as the LORD rejoiced over you to do you good, and to multiply you; so the LORD will rejoice over you to destroy you, and to bring you to nought; and ye shall be plucked from off the land whither thou goest to possess it. And the LORD shall scatter thee among all people, from the one end of the earth even unto the other; and there thou shalt serve other gods, which neither thou nor thy fathers have known, even wood and stone.
The land thereby would remain as “Desolate” according to scripture
The first time it occurred it would remain this way “until the land had enjoyed her sabbath’s”
Leviticus 26:34
34 Then shall the land enjoy her sabbaths, as long as it lieth desolate, and ye be in your enemies’ land; even then shall the land rest, and enjoy her sabbaths.
This exactly came to pass during the seventy years of captivity in Babylon.
For 490 years the Jews did not keep the sabbath of the land (one year in seven), and so the land rested.
2 Chronicles 36:21
21 To fulfil the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land had enjoyed her sabbaths: for as long as she lay desolate she kept sabbath, to fulfil threescore and ten years.
Now, the same had come to pass.
For almost two thousand years the land of Israel had been left desolate, as if she would not be betrothed to another and would not suffer any peoples to remain in the land while Jacob was scattered abroad.
We saw it the first time in the Old Testament;
2 Kings 17:26
26 Wherefore they spake to the king of Assyria, saying, The nations which thou hast removed, and placed in the cities of Samaria, know not the manner of the God of the land: therefore he hath sent lions among them, and, behold, they slay them, because they know not the manner of the God of the land.
in Matthew 23:37 Jesus said “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! 38 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate”
Jesus was acknowledging exactly that which Moses wrote of in Leviticus 26
And before the Valley of the Dry Bones, Ezekiel also testified to the desolation and waste places of Israel, but he also alludes to a purpose in his writing, a witness to the heathen of his power.
Turn there with me;
Ezekiel 36:33–36
33 Thus saith the Lord GOD; In the day that I shall have cleansed you from all your iniquities I will also cause you to dwell in the cities, and the wastes shall be builded. 34 And the desolate land shall be tilled, whereas it lay desolate in the sight of all that passed by. 35 And they shall say, This land that was desolate is become like the garden of Eden; and the waste and desolate and ruined cities are become fenced, and are inhabited. 36
Then the heathen that are left round about you shall know that I the LORD build the ruined places, and plant that that was desolate: I the LORD have spoken it, and I will do it.
Rabbi Moses ben Nachman, known as Nachmanides, after fleeing Christian Spain in the late 1200’s, arrived at Jerusalem in the year 1267, where he writes to his son saying;
“Many are Israel’s forsaken places, and great is the desecration. The more sacred the place, the greater the devastation it has suffered. Jerusalem is the most desolate place of all.”[1]
Nachmanides is the sage who’s Torah commentary is still studied by Jews to this day, yet he notes the lack of inhabitants in Israel at the time as a blessing. He wrote that the devastation…
“constitutes a good tiding, proclaiming that during all our exiles, our land will not accept our enemies… Since the time that we left it, [the land] has not accepted any nation or people, and they all try to settle it… This is a great proof and assurance to us.”
More than 550 years later little seems to have changed.
In 1835, the French poet, Alphonse de Lamartine, visited Palestine. He wrote:
“Outside the gates of Jerusalem, we saw indeed no living object, heard no living sound. We found the same void, the same silence … as we should have expected before the entombed gates of Pompeii … a complete, eternal silence reigns in the town, on the highways, in the country … the tomb of an entire people.”[2]
32 years later, the famous American author Mark Twain agreed after he visited Palestine in 1867, he described his visit in ‘Innocents Abroad’:
he writes;
“There was hardly a tree or a shrub anywhere. Even the olive and the cactus, those fast friends of a worthless soil, had almost deserted the country.”
“A desolation is here that not even imagination can grace with the pomp of life and action. We reached Tabor safely. We never saw a human being on the whole route”.
“Palestine sits in sackcloth and ashes. Over it broods the spell of a curse that has withered its fields and fettered its energies. Palestine is desolate and unlovely. And why should it be otherwise? Can the curse of the Deity beautify a land?” (possibly referring to Matt 23:36-38)
Charles Warren, British archaeologist and researcher who did extensive research in Jerusalem, wrote of it three years later, in the year 1870:
“The Land of Israel is bound up in the chains of its curse which hangs over it. The land has no redeemer, and it is a wasteland with no one to cultivate it or care for it.”[3]
SLOWLY, as they were beginning to return in number and in the fulfilment of the prophecy of scripture, it was the Prime Minister of the Netherlands Abraham Kyper, in 1905 who stated
“The Jews have come in vain, only God can check the blight of the inrushing Desert” [4]
It seems that for the space of 1800 years, Israel and Jerusalem are recorded as have very few inhabitants.
History testifies to nomadic peoples only coming in and going out, but none remaining and settling. Why would they in such a forsaken and arid land?
For two thousand years God had let the land lay fallow, he did not give anyone comfort in settling in Israel, it would be seen as Desolate by all who pass by.
The Exile was PROLONGED.
God had promised the return of his people, in Isaiah 43:5-6 & Ezekiel 37:1-14
Meanwhile, none were suffered to settle in their land, and Israel were never suffered to rest in their Exile!
Exodus Pronounced
First identified in the Valley of Dry Bones in Ezekiel 37
Ezekiel 37:1–12
1 The hand of the LORD was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of the LORD, and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones, 2 And caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold, there were very many in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry. 3 And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord GOD, thou knowest. 4 Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the LORD. 5 Thus saith the Lord GOD unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live: 6 And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know that I am the LORD. 7 So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone. 8 And when I beheld, lo, the sinews and the flesh came up upon them, and the skin covered them above: but there was no breath in them. 9 Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live. 10 So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army. 11 Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost: we are cut off for our parts. 12 Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel.
The Context of that passage is the time just before the Millenial reign of Christ.
This is why we can KNOW that the Exodus of the Jews from the “EGYPT” of the world ALSO declares to us the closer proximity of the EXODUS of the Church from the earth.
Ezekiel 37:21–25
21 And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land: 22 And I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all:
23 Neither shall they defile themselves any more with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions: but I will save them out of all their dwellingplaces, wherein they have sinned, and will cleanse them: so shall they be my people, and I will be their God. 24 And David my servant shall be king over them; and they all shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in my judgments, and observe my statutes, and do them.
25 And they shall dwell in the land that I have given unto Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers have dwelt; and they shall dwell therein, even they, and their children, and their children’s children for ever: and my servant David shall be their prince for ever.
The “Dry Bones” are coming together as we stand and see. We are witnessing the culmination within a generation from the creation of a nation, the return of the Jews from all points of the compass.
Exodus Pressed
Isaiah 43:5–7
5 Fear not: for I am with thee: I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west; 6 I will say to the north, Give up; and to the south, Keep not back: bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the ends of the earth; 7 Even every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him.
I concluded the second point on the Exile Prolonged saying;
While none were suffered to settle in their land, and Israel were never suffered to rest in their Exile!
The jews scattered among the heathen were simply NEVER suffered to have complete rest there.
They had troubles in almost every nation they found themselves,
The world would ever leave them comfortable in the lands in which they dwelt, continually the nation of Israel, identifiable ONLY AS A NATION WITHOUT A LAND, would find themselves having to identify themselves as Pilgrims.
The Jews stayed a while in those lands, they built homes and businesses until trouble came looking for them.
- Expelled from Rome in the 1st century
- Expelled from Italy in the 2nd century
- Expelled completely from Palestine and Islamic countries from the 8th Century
- Expelled from Nth Africa in the 10th century
- Expelled From England in 1290 until 1650 (360 years)
- Expelled from France in 1306 and AGAIN 1394
- Expelled from Spain in 1492
- Expelled from Lithuania in 1495
- Expelled from Portugal in 1497
- They were prohibited in Russia from the 15th century until 1772
Pogroms against the Jews are recorded from the 1300’s.
The Roman Catholic inquisition, the most notorious, cruel evil that has ever come upon a land in the name of whatever god they were worshipping, had seen the Jews find no place to rest for their feet in Roman Catholic Europe.
They were;
- Persecuted in Russia
- Persecuted in Europe
- Disdained in the UK
- Turned away from the United States during the Holocaust [5]
- and Murdered in Germany
From 2011 to 2016 a global refugee crisis hit the entire western world.
It began with the civil war in Syria, but continued through the terrorist activities of ISIS, the wars in Libya, Iraq and in diverse places in the middle east, together with an economic crisis and political instability in Albania, Kosovo and parts of Africa.
All of this had seen the dramatic flood of THE HISTORICAL ENEMIES of the Jews into many western nations, including Australia.
The enemies of the Jews have now settled in the lands in which the Jews had been scattered, and it now seems that they are being pressed out of those lands.
I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west; 6 I will say to the north, Give up; and to the south, Keep not back: bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the ends of the earth; (Isa 43:5-6)
After the October 7th massacre in Israel I was given an opportunity to speak to a jewish man who had his place both in the Synagogue and high in the legal profession of our nation.
We spoke of what had occurred and the madness of how an orchestrated response was believed and accepted by the heathen world.
I reminded him of this passage in Isaiah and reminded him also of the historical events of 2015-2016.
I then told him I believed God is using these events to bring his people back home.

This is a sign to you and I Christian, a sign that our time here is also coming to a close.
A sign to those of you who are NOT YET SAVED, that you will be LEFT BEHIND to suffer the ordeal of this world.
Exodus Purposed
They’re going to leave us.
It wont be long and they are going to leave.
Even now they are preparing to go home. They have been with us for many years, they were welcomed here, they found a home here, they were loved and appreciated.
They made their way in the world and they impacted the world more positively than any other people group in the world.
As a population, Jews make up less than .2 of 1% of the population of the world.
Yet, astonishingly, they make up almost 25%, 1/4 of all the Noble Laureates of history.
All six of the categories have been dominated by Jews as a people group.
221 individuals of direct Jewish decent have taken out the esteemed prise given to a total of 1,012 people since 1901 when the first awards were given[6]
The Noble Prizes, were established to award those for their work “for the greatest benefit to humankind”.
As a people, the Jews are formally and historically recognised to this end.
Yet through the deception of Satan, Jews are the scapegoats of the godless world, blamed for almost everything, even the murder of their own people, the historical record demonstrates otherwise.
They blessed the world with acts and inventions “for the greatest benefit to humankind”.
And so we should expect it to be so.
Genesis 22:18
18 And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.
Genesis 26:4
4 And I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed;
All these blessings had come from these people, and if that were not enough, even our very salvation is of the jews.
To the woman at the well Jesus said plainly;
22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. John 4:22
What will the secular world turn into when the blessing given them has gone?
Genesis 12:2–3
2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: 3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
Repeated by Isaac’s blessing to Jacob in Genesis 27:29
And we have indeed been blessed!
What now?
THE MOST ANCIENT SPIRITUAL VILLAINY has come upon Israel, CURSED BY THE PEOPLE OF THE WORLD.
WHAT NOW?
Not even the compassion or empathy seen by the murder of a child.
Matilda was only 10 years old, her parents named her with the most Australian name she could be named, she was Australian through and through, but she was also a Jew.
She wasn’t caught in a crossfire, it wasn’t an accidental ricochet, she was in the scope of his rifle when cocked the bolt and pulled the trigger.
She was the first to be buried.
The Prime minister did not come.
The morning of her barely mentioned.
Ye the fake, PALLYWOOD, cross-fire death of Muhammad al-Dura in September 2000 was translated around the world to condemn Israel. Schools set up in his name.
Who will remember Matilda?
So why shouldn’t they leave?
Zechariah 12:2–3
2 Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem. 3 And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.
The purpose of the Jews had always been to present God to the world. The worlds rejection of God is reflected in their rejection of Israel.
What will come of the world when it curses them enough to have them leave it to itself?
Your purpose, dear Christian, remains to present God to the world through the joy and hope of Jesus Christ.
The Jews had rejected the Messiah, yet the living God had been evident in them enough for the God hating world to hate them.
You however, have the very Spirit of God dwelling within. A light to lighten the gentiles both in action and most importantly in WORDS….the words of The Gospel.
YOU HAVE A PURPOSE.
Fulfil it enough for the WORLD to respond!
What will happen to the world when Christ comes for his bride?
Romans 11:25–26
25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. 26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
Beloved, as you see the events that testify to the day unfold before your eyes, turn all the more to the Lord and be greatly encouraged.
You have a role to play, a purpose to fulfil.
Merry Christmas, Lets pray
