Christ persuades the church to believe his free redemption7. To receive the ministers thereof 9. To joy in the power thereof 11. And to free themselves from bondage 13. Christ's kingdom shall be exalted For you will not leave in a hurry nor flee in haste This phrase reflects the assurance and peace that God provides to His people. Historically, it contrasts with the hurried departure of the Israelites from Egypt during the Exodus (Exodus 12:33-39). Unlike the chaotic escape from slavery, this departure is marked by calm and divine order. It signifies a transition from a state of fear and urgency to one of confidence and security, emphasizing God's control over the situation. This assurance can be seen as a type of the peace that Christ offers to believers, as He is the Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6). for the LORD goes before you and the God of Israel is your rear guard Persons / Places / Events 1.

Spiritual Deliverance This verse is a reminder of the spiritual deliverance we have in Christ, who goes before us and protects us from spiritual enemies. Living with Assurance As believers, we can live with the assurance that God is actively involved in our lives, providing both direction and protection.(12) Ye shall not go out with haste . . .--The words contrast the exodus from Babylon with that from Egypt (Exodus 12:39; Deuteronomy 16:3). In the essential point, however, of Divine protection, the resemblance would be greater than the contrast. Jehovah would still be once more both the vanguard and the rear-guard of the great procession.Verse 12. With haste... by flight. As at the going forth from Egypt (Exodus 12:33; Exodus 16:5).
