EXODUS is a book of redemption. The first word Now implies that Exodus is a supplement to Genesis because man regained some of what he lost in Genesis. The Lord provided the way of redeeming man's lost condition. Exodus records the new beginning of people who trusted the Lord's redemption through the shed blood of the Passover Lamb (John 1:29).

Exodus records the historical departure of the nation of Israel from Egypt. Spiritually, this record gives the experiences involved with the salvation sinner. The Lord provides the way of salvation through the shed blood of the Lamb. This power liberates the slave from the bondage of sin (Acts 26: 18; Rom. 6:14-22). Practically, the book reveals the beginning trials of walking against the world system. Exodus also provides comfort and learning for the born again believer and pastor because Moses was the shepherd of a church (Is. 63:11; Acts 7:38; Rom. 15:4; I Cor. 10:1-1 1).

The book contains 40 chapters and 1,213 verses.

Doctrinally, Exodus prophesies the Rapture of the church, the Tribulation (Micah 7:14-15; Matt. 24: 15-22), and events preceding the Lord's Second Coming (Rev. I I :6). Moses was the author according to the Lord (Mark 12:26; Luke 20:37). Exodus is kin to exit, exclude, exile, expel, execute, extract, expunge, exterminate, extirpate, extinct, export, excommunicate, and ecclesia. When a sinner exits the system of the world he can excel and exceed the slave of the world like Moses, if he exalts the Lord and His word (Deut. 8:3).
