HOW TO UNDERSTAND THAT THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL IN EGYPT
WERE SUBMITED TO A DOUBLE SLAVERY COMPARED
TO THE OTHER PEOPLE?
It is the 323rd message.
This demonstration of things that you listen or read is just the accomplishment of a prophecy made at the age of 06 months; and it neither comes from the researches in books, nor from listening to a man, but it is from the revelation. I do not speak with a fleshly language to lead the people in the knowledge of fleshly things, but I speak with a spiritual language to lead them in the knowledge of spiritual things that are given by the spiritual man so that they should also become spiritual men.
Why do the people of Israel in Egypt were submitted to a double slavery compared to the other people? The Eternal God chose Abram when he was still in Mesopotamia before establishing himself in Haran. The Eternal God told him to leave his country and his family for a country which he the Eternal God was to show him. This country was Canaan and which finally became the territory of the Jewish people (Israel) as we know today. Therefore, Abram left Haran as the Eternal God recommended him and he went to Canaan with Lot his nephew and his wife Sarai as it is said: “And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son, and all their substance that they had gathered, and the souls that they had gotten in Haran; and they went forth to go into the land of Canaan; and into the land of Canaan they came” (Genesis 12/5). Once arrived, the Eternal God appeared to him again to confirm him that this territory or country has been given to his offspring, that is why it is said: “Then the Lord appeared to Abram and said, “To your offspring I will give this land.” So he built there an altar to the Lord, who had appeared to him” (Genesis 12/7).
The Eternal God knew that the offspring of Abram will be strangers in a country which is not theirs, they will be slaves and will be afflicted for 400 years. That is why it is said: “Then the Lord said to Abram, “Know for certain that your offspring will be sojourners in a land that is not theirs and will be servants there, and they will be afflicted for four hundred years” (Genesis 15/13). The Eternal God changed the name of Abram to Abraham as it is said: “No longer shall your name be called Abram, but your name shall be Abraham, for I have made you the father of a multitude of nations” (Genesis 17/5), and he told him not to call anymore his wife in the name of Sarai but Sarah as it is said: “And God said to Abraham, “As for Sarai your wife, you shall not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall be her name” (Genesis 17/15). The Eternal God gave him the alliance of the circumcision which consists to circumcise all male children at the age of 08 days. That is why it is said: “And God said to Abraham, “As for you, you shall keep my covenant, you and your offspring after you throughout their generations. This is my covenant, which you shall keep, between me and you and your offspring after you: Every male among you shall be circumcised. You shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskins, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and you. He who is eight days old…” (Genesis 17/9-14).
Therefore, Abraham gave birth to Isaac whom he circumcised at the age of 08 days as recommended by the Eternal God as it is said: “And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac when he was eight days old, as God had commanded him” (Genesis 21/4). Isaac gave birth to Jacob whom the Eternal God changed the name to Israel as it is said: “And God said to him, “Your name is Jacob; no longer shall your name be called Jacob, but Israel shall be your name.” So he called his name Israel” (Genesis 35/10). And Jacob called Israel gave birth to twelve children recognised later for the 12 tribes of Israel , and they were all circumcised as the alliance with Eternal God. That is even why Acts 7/8 says: “And he gave him the covenant of circumcision. And so Abraham became the father of Isaac, and circumcised him on the eighth day, and Isaac became the father of Jacob, and Jacob of the twelve patriarchs”. One of the twelve children of Israel called Joseph will be sold by his brothers and will be found in Egypt, and the promise of the Eternal God made to Abraham was to be accomplished.
Once in Egypt, Joseph met with his brothers who did not recognise him contrarily to him, he will then profit of his position to ask pharaoh if he can let come his father for a sojourn in his country. Once pharaoh agreed, he will make sign to his father who will then feel embarrassed before the Eternal God will speak to him in a dream telling him to go down in Egypt without fear. That is why it is said: “And God spoke to Israel in visions of the night and said, “Jacob, Jacob.” And he said, “Here I am.” Then he said, “I am God, the God of your father. Do not be afraid to go down to Egypt, for there I will make you into a great nation. I myself will go down with you to Egypt, and I will also bring you up again, and Joseph's hand shall close your eyes” (Genesis 46/2-4). Therefore, that is how Israel finds himself in Egypt with all his family. When Israel (their father) will die, he will be taken back to be buried in Canaan according to his last wishes as it is said: “Thus his sons did for him as he had commanded them, for his sons carried him to the land of Canaan and buried him in the cave of the field at Machpelah, to the east of Mamre, which Abraham bought with the field from Ephron the Hittite to possess as a burying place” (Genesis 50/12-13).
In Egypt, another king takes the commands. Not knowing Joseph, he will then have the idea not to leave the Jews increase in number in fear to be dominated and to be sent out of the country. It is for this reason that the king with the complicity of the midwives will start killing all new born male babies and leaving the female babies alive. In addition to that, the people of Israel were submitted to harsh and laborious works. For the 400 years of suffering announced by the Eternal God to come to an end, he made Moses to be born and hided him in the house of pharaoh were he grew in the shelter of the reprisals of pharaoh against the new born male babies who were Jews. Once big, Moses discovered that he is not an Egyptian but instead a Jew. Therefore, he profited of every occasion to visit his brothers in their camp. One day, he killed an Egyptian who was fighting with his Jewish brother and he buried him under the sand, but another day, he came to visit his brothers, he also found them fighting and he came to intervene but one of them said: “do you want to kill me as you have killed the Egyptian and who you have buried?” Moses became afraid to be discovered by pharaoh and he ran away to a country called Median. Being in this country, he became shepherd of a man called Jethro who gave him his daughter called Sephora for wife.
The people of Israel suffered cruelly torments of slavery. The Eternal God appeared to Moses on Mount Horeb and he made him to understand that he is the God of his father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob and that he has seen the suffering of his people in Egypt and he has come to deliver them out of this suffering. Therefore, God sent Moses to go and deliver his people, he gave him all the signs of miracles, but Moses was not yet convinced. Therefore, God said to him: “Then the Lord said to him, “Who has made man's mouth? Who makes him mute, or deaf, or seeing, or blind? Is it not I, the Lord? Now therefore go, and I will be with your mouth and teach you what you shall speak” (Exodus 4/11-12). Moses thus returned in Egypt with Aaron sent in front of him by the Eternal God. The Eternal God told Moses that he will make Aaron his prophet and him Moses, God for pharaoh. That is even why it is said: “And the Lord said to Moses, “See, I have made you like God to Pharaoh, and your brother Aaron shall be your prophet” (Exodus 7/1).
The people of Israel were submitted to a double slavery compared to the other people because they were firstly physically slaves in front the people, and secondly, they were spiritually slaves in the sin which is the devil or the spirit of death, meanwhile the other people were not physically slaves like the people of Israel, but they were instead spiritually slaves and they did not know it. In the same way, the people of Israel knew that they are only slaves in Egypt. For them, the coming out of this country (Egypt) means the end of slavery. Moses brought the people out of Egypt in crossing the red sea by the powerful hand of God. In the desert, the people witnessed all the miracles operated by the Eternal God such as to make the waters of the sea to shift away and to close it again, to make bread to rain from heaven, to bring out water from the rock and to be victorious against other nations in the desert without sword nor spear and Moses was telling them that they are a people chosen by God.
Feeling lonely in the alliance of the circumcision given by God, the Eternal God called Moses and he gave him the law and the blood as the new alliance. The people were observing the alliance of the circumcision of the skin; the alliance of the law and the blood which purified their flesh. The Eternal God repeated the words of the circumcision to Moses and he told him to announce it to the people as it is said: “And on the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised” (Leviticus 12/3). But the people of Israel were in the desert near Canaan where the Eternal God swore to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob that he will let his people to go in as it is said: “This is the land of which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, ‘I will give it to your offspring.’ I have let you see it with your eyes, but you shall not go over there” (Deuteronomy 34/4). The people of Israel in Canaan which has become their territory till today did not know that they were still slaves as well as the other people who did not know that they were also slaves.
After centuries have passed, from generation to generation, no matter the fact that all the prophets announced the coming of that one who was to make them to become eternally free from the true slavery, not only for the people of Israel but the entire world according to the promises made to Abraham by the Eternal God, the Israelis did not believe and the other people could not imagine that they were also slaves, not of the slavery that the people of Israel knew in Egypt, but the spiritual slavery or the slavery of the sin.
The people of Israel knew that they were the only nation to have the veritable God, and some people of other nations also believed in that. That is why Naaman the Syrian testified saying: “…I know that there is no God in all the earth but in Israel…” (2 Kings 5/15). The Israelis were the only people to be circumcised and to have the law written by God, and for this reason, they considered other nations to be uncircumcised. Since they were purified in the flesh by the blood of bulls and goats, they were taking the other people to be defiled. Therefore, when God’s time came to save all the nations from the spiritual slavery as he has saved a nation from the physical slavery, he sent his son Jesus to save the entire world from the spiritual slavery as he sent Moses to deliver the people of Israel from the physical slavery, and Jesus Christ born in the offspring of David according to the flesh was circumcised on the 8th day according to the alliance of the law. That is why it is said: “And at the end of eight days, when he was circumcised, he was called Jesus…” (Luke 2/21).
The people of Israel did not know that it is not by the law (Moses) that they will become the true children of Abraham, but it is instead by the faith (Jesus Christ). They believed to be the offspring of Abraham by the law and not by the faith, but the faith (Jesus Christ) was saying to them: “you will know the truth and the truth will set you free”. They answered him: “We are offspring of Abraham and have never been enslaved to anyone. How is it that you say, ‘You will become free?” (John 8/33). But since they were not attentive to understand John the Baptist when he was talking to them by saying: “And do not presume to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father,’…” (Matthew 3/9). Not recognising themselves to be slaves in order to have faith in Christ and become free, they instead became attached to the law. Others even believed that the alliance of the circumcision was coming from Moses, that is why the Lord Jesus told them: “Moses gave you circumcision (not that it is from Moses, but from the fathers), and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath” (John 7/22).
The people of Israel were taking the other people to be uncircumcised, pagan and defiled. As the Jews had no relation with the other people because they were taking them for defiled people, that is why the Samaritan woman was surprised to see a Jew (Jesus Christ) asking her drinking water. That is why she said: “…How is it that you, a Jew, ask for a drink from me, a woman of Samaria?” (John 4/9). In the same way, when they held the Lord Jesus Christ and brought him to Caiaphas to the governor’s headquarters, the Jews did not enter there for the fear to be defiled and not to eat the Passover which was near. That is why it is said: “Then they led Jesus from the house of Caiaphas to the governor's headquarters. It was early morning. They themselves did not enter the governor's headquarters, so that they would not be defiled, but could eat the Passover” (John 18/28). But all started when the Lord sent Apostle Peter in the house of Cornelius who was a pagan where he spent some days, and Apostle Peter arriving in the house of Cornelius declared: “You yourselves know how unlawful it is for a Jew to associate with or to visit anyone of another nation, but God has shown me that I should not call any person common or unclean” (Acts 10/28).
When the other apostles and brothers heard this, they became angry against Peter and criticized him of going to the pagan as it is said: “So when Peter went up to Jerusalem, the circumcision party criticized him, saying, “You went to uncircumcised men and ate with them” (Acts 11/2-3). But Apostle Peter told them that he did not go there by his will, and he told them how the Lord Jesus appeared to him and sent him to Cornelius to announce the word of liberty of the spiritual slavery. Therefore, after these details, they were happy and glorified God to have visited also the pagans as it is said: “When they heard these things they fell silent. And they glorified God, saying, “Then to the Gentiles also God has granted repentance that leads to life” (Acts 11/18).
Therefore that is how the gospel also began to reach other nations; after listening, they also recognised that they were slaves, not physically like the people of Israel in Egypt, but spiritually. The Lord Jesus thus chose Apostle Paul to carry his gospel in front nations, the kings and the sons of Israel (Acts 9/15). That is why Apostle Paul taught a lot to the pagans, recognising to be apostle of pagans as it is said: “Whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles” (2 Timothy 1/11). It is for this reason that he continue saying: “…I was appointed a preacher and an apostle (I am telling the truth, I am not lying), a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth” (1 Timothy 2/7). And Apostle Paul was teaching the pagans while saying to them: “…one time you Gentiles in the flesh, called “the uncircumcision” by what is called the circumcision, which is made in the flesh by hands remember that you were at that time separated from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ” (Ephesians 2/11-13).
Glory to the Eternal God by our lord Jesus Christ who permits us to be enlightened on the things that are above the human knowledge, and to him only glory for the eternity.
CHAMPI Apostle not behalf of man, nor by a man but by Jesus Christ and God the Father. God’s power is the knowledge. To know, avoid sin and to be free from the eternal death. (John 8/32)
