Finding Messiah in Triennial Va’era
“Therefore say unto the children of Israel: ‘I am YHVH, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will rescue you out of their bondage, and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with great judgments. And I will take you to Me for a people, and I will be to you a God; and you shall know that I am YHVH your God, who brings you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians. And I will bring you in unto the land, concerning which I swore to give it to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; and I will give it to you for a heritage. I am YHVH.’” Exo 6:6-8
Egypt is a prophetic type for the kingdom of darkness, where God’s people are enslaved. Moses is a prophetic type for Messiah, who God sends to deliver them. When YHVH rescues us from our bondage and from under the burden of the kingdom of darkness through His Servant Messiah Yeshua, then He takes us as His people, and He becomes our God.
