Exodus was written in 1445-1440 B.C. And its purpose was to teach us that God breaks chains, and then draws us in by teaching us wise ways and how to worship properly. The theme to this book is deliverance, both physically and spiritually. Exodus is full of miracle, adventure, spectacular events and even special effects. This story is filled with bad guys –the Egyptians, mainly the Pharaoh, who refused to let the Hebrews go. The good guys are the Hebrews, led by Moses. After being enslaved by the Egyptians for generations, they were freed only to wander around in the desert or wilderness. After reading about their travels, you may not be surprised that they sometimes wished for the comforts on captivity. A sort of Stockholm-Syndrome, if you will. This book tells of the seas splitting in two, flood, and boulders becoming springs or fountains. Best of all Gods glory is finally revealed and visible to all.
