Egypt and Israel

A message from the series “The Second Law: The Book of Deuteronomy From a Christian Perspective”, given by Pastor Scott Austin on Oct. 23, 2016.

One of the recurring themes in Moses’s address to the people of Israel is the warning that if they are disobedient, they will be no better than the Egyptians who had enslaved them. This type of comparison to Israel’s enemies is common in the Hebrew Bible, and it encourages us to consider where we see ourselves in these comparisons.
