EXODUS CHAPTER 12 - 12:11

EXODUS  CHAPTER  12

12:11 - The Passover, type of Christ our Redeemer ( EXODUS  12:1__28;  JOHN  1:29;  1  CORINTHIANS  5:6__7 ).
( 1 ). - The lamb must be without blemish, and to test this it was kept up four days ( EXODUS  12:5__6 ). So our Lord's public life, under hostile scrutiny, was the testing which proved His holiness ( LUKE  11:53__54;  JOHN  8:46 ).
( 2 ). - The Lamb thus tested must be slain ( EXODUS  12:6;  JOHN  12:24 ).  
( 3 ). - The blood must be applied ( EXODUS  12:7 ). This answers to appropriation by personal faith, and refutes universalism ( JOHN  3:36 ).
( 4 ). - The blood applied of itself, without anything in addition, constituted a perfect protection from judgment ( EXODUS  12:13;  1  JOHN  1:7 ).
( 5 ). - The feast typified Christ the bread of life, answering to the memorial supper ( MATTHEW  26:26__28;  1  CORINTHIANS  11:23__26 ). To observe the feast was a duty and privilege, but not a condition of safety. As a matter of fact, the bread was not eaten  by the Israrlites on the night in which, nevertheless, they were preserved from the judgment upon the firstborn ( EXODUS  12:34__39 ).

 CHAPTER  8

 8:25 - The compromises proposed by Pharaoh are those urged upon Christians to day. The first says in effect: "Be a Christian if you will, but not a nattow one__stay in Egypt." Invariably it ends in world-conformity, world-pleasing and seeking the world's money for God ( PSALM  50:9__17 ).  2  CORINTHIANS  6:14__18;  GALATIANS  1:4.

EXODUS  CHAPTER  7

 7:12 - Exodus  4:2. As Moses rod was the rod of power, the rod of the King ( DEUTERONOMY  33:4__5 ), so Aaron's was the rod of life, the rod of the Priests. As here the serpents, symbols of Satan, who had the power of death ( REVELATION  12:9,  HEBREWS  2:14 ), are swallowed up, so in resurrection death will be "swallowed up in victory" ( 1  CORINTHIANS  15:54 ).

EXODUS CHAPTER 30 - 30:34 AND 30:38

EXODUS  CHAPTER  30 30:34  Frankincense is not to be confounded with incense ( to which it was to be added ), as it is often used apart from incense, We are told what composed the incense__never in Scripture what the frankincense was. All speaks of Christ__the sweet spices of those perfections which we may apprehend, the frankincense of that which God saw in Jesus ineffable. 30:38  What is condemned here is making worship a mere pleasure to the natural man, whether sensuous, as in beautiful music to please the ear, or eloquence, merely to give delight to the natural mind.  JOHN  4:23__24.  30:18  Laver, type of Christ cleansing us from defilement, and from "every spot or wrinkle or any such thing" ( JOHN  13:2__10;  EPHESIANS  5:25__27 ). It is significant that the priests could not enter the holy place after serving at the brazen altar till hands and feet were cleansed. 30:31  Anointing oil, type of the Holy Spirit are service

GENESIS CHAPTER 37 - 37:2

GENESIS  CHAPTER  35 35:7 the God of Bethel. Genesis  28:19.  There it was the place as scene of the ladder-vision which impressed Jacob. He called the place "Bethel," the house of God. Now it is the God of the place, rather than the place, and he calls it El-Bethel, "the God of the house of God." Genesis  33:20. 35:14 The first mention of the drink-offering. It is not mentioned among the Levitical offering of  Leviticus  1__7,  though include in the instructions for sacrifice in the land ( NUMBERS  15:5__7 ). It was always "poured out," never drunk, and may be considered a type of Christ in the sense of Psalm  22:14;  Isaiah  53:12. 35:18 son of my right hand. Benjamin, "son of sorrow" to his mother, but "son of my right hand" to his father, becomes thus a double type of Christ. As Ben-oni He was the suffering One because of whom a sword pierced His mother's heart ( LUKE  2:35 ); as Benjamin, head to the warrior tribe ( G
