Jews remember the Exodus, their freedom from bondage in Egypt.  We as Christians must remember our freedom from bondage also.  Egypt is a type of sin and bondage to the kingdom of Satan.   We must look to our Passover Lamb who initiates our release from slavery.  It was that night  3500 years ago that the Passover lambs were slaughtered and the blood put on the doorposts of the houses.  It was 1500 years later that the eternal Passover Lamb was sacrificed by crucifixion.  He is the fulfillment of the entire story of the Exodus.  This is the greatest aspect of the relationship between the Old and the New.

I can imagine that to Jewish young people the story of the Exodus could become very stale very fast, and yet, there are still Jews 3500 years later that are remembering that night and the subsequent events of the crossing of the Red Sea and the wandering in the desert.   The key person in all of this is Moses, rescued by the Pharoah’s daughter, trained in Egypt for 40 years, and then exiled into the wilderness to learn the ways of Jethro and the unseen God of the desert.   

This God was not a new thought.  He was not dreamed up by Moses or Jethro for that matter.  He was not dreamed up by Melchizedek, priest of the Most High God several generations earlier.  He was not dreamed up by Noah as he wondered why those rain clouds looked so ominous.  He simply was and had always been, and people knew about Him from  long ago, from ancient days.  The pagan religions of the world came out of this primordial knowledge of God as mutations of the Truth.  The Exodus is therefore not actually a coming out of something old into something new.  Exodus is a returning to the ways of the eternal God.  So leaving Mitsrayim is leaving a system that had been imagined by men because they had forgotten the Truth.  

Some archeologists will say, “Oh, look here, a similarity to the sacrificial system of the Bible.  That’s where Moses got it.”  No,  Mitsrayim, grandson of Noah, or one of his descendents brought these false concepts to the world because their hearts were cold.  They did not believe in the Almighty God first hand, and so they invented other gods to suit there purposes.   They took their knowledge of resurrection from past generations, and made it into fantastic accounts of Pharaohs walking through the depths of the earth and the rising of the sun each day.  We do this today.  We do not want to keep God in our minds, and so we imagine  everything from Harry Potter to UFO's  to amuse ourselves and keep our spirits busy rather than seeking the true God.  Without Christ, man reverts to paganism in a very short time.
