Exodus — Book Overview

About this episode
Between the last verse of Genesis and the first verse of Exodus, there is a gap of some four hundred years. Genesis ends with a coffin in Egypt, and Exodus begins with a list of names. For centuries, it appears that the grand story of redemption has been put on pause. We live in a culture that has declared total war on sexual sanity. The modern world treats sex as a recreational activity, a consumer good, a form of self-expression entirely detached from covenant, consequence, or family. It is designed to train young men and women not for marriage, but for a series of divorces before they ever get to the altar. It does not end with the Israelites marching toward the promised land. It ends here, with the tabernacle completed, and God Himself coming down to fill it with His glory. This is a point of monumental significance that our modern, sentimental Christianity often misses entirely.
