Exodus (Program #75) – The Angel of Jehovah for His People (3)
Prior to taking possession of the promised good land, God’s people were commanded to fully and absolutely drive out the pagan tribes from that land. Failure to do so will result in the people sharing in the sins of these pagan occupants. History clearly shows that this ultimately is the case. This pagan enemies became the source of the sin of God’s people, Israel. What is the source of our sins? And how does the Lord command us to deal with this source? We can learn a lot about ourselves by following the story of God’s people Israel in the pages of Exodus.
We have seen so much in the book of Exodus these Old Testament stories are really all pictures of things that have very real and current New Testament relevant in our experience. That’s why we are here today in Exodus 23. It deals in parts the Lord’s command to the children of Israel to drive these pagan tribes completely out of their land. Exodus 23:31-33 “And I will set your border form the Red Sea even to the sea of the Philistines, and from the wilderness to the River, for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand, and you shall drive them out form before you. You shall make no covenant with them or with their gods. They shall not dwell in your land, lest they make you sin against Me; for if you serve their gods, it will surely be a snare to you.”
