Exodus 5-7 – The Weaning of God’s Children

In the book of Exodus we are given a vivid type of our Salvation. In that typology, Israel is a type of the church; Egypt is a type of the world; Pharaoh is a type of the devil; and the Exodus is a type of our salvation. As we come to chapter five, God will use the plagues not only to judge the Egyptians, but also to prepare the Israelites for their departure by weaning them off their lives in Egypt and bringing them to a point where they hate Egypt and long for the Promised Land. The Lord is doing a similar work today in our lives as He uses the trials and tribulations we face to wean us off this world and prepare us for our new life with Him in heaven.
