HHMI ~ Themes of Passover ~ Pt 2 ~ Principles of Exile and Redemption Found in Passover

Here are Some Principles of Exile: *Exile comes about because of sin or breaking the covenant. *Exile is associated with the God of Israel hiding his face. *When the God of Israel hides His face, the wicked in the world prosper. *Exile is likened unto being in a wilderness. *Exile is likened unto the people of the God of Israel being asleep. *The shekinah (the glory) of the God of Israel is in exile also. *Exile is a process of refinement, whose purpose is to bring us to repentance. Here are Some Principles of Redemption: *Redemption comes about when the people of the God of Israel repent. *The repentance process is encouraged through suffering. *Redemption is associated with the God of Israel REVEALING His face. *Redemption is like a “birth pang”. *Redemption is not comprehended by the logical mind. *Redemption is likened unto a “dream”. *Redemption is foreshadowed by Joseph and Isaac. Just as an olive does not release its oil until it is crushed, so too, we have to go through a “crushing” in order to release oil. The God of Israel allows us to go through sufferings, afflictions and trials so that we will repent, return and be refined. Prophetically, this time of suffering that we go through together as a people, this time is known as “Jacob’s trouble.” When the God of Israel redeems His people, He shows His power; He shows His outstretched arm.
