Exodus
The book of Exodus is largely narrative material. The theme of Exodus revealed that if the nations wanted to be in good standing with Him they would have to understand how He was to be worshiped; His rules (laws), and revealing his attributes also allowing them to understand that he was approachable and forgiving. Exodus relates how God started to fulfill His promise to Abraham by increasing his descendants and delivering them from bondage. God seemed to be getting a little more personal, He identified Himself as the “I AM”, the God that lived among His people. After God introduced himself to Moses and Moses getting past all his excuses why He could not lead the people, God prepared Moses to go before Pharaoh. God worked powerfully in the present of Pharaoh (God worked multi-signs by Moses i.e. the water turned into blood, sent flies to the land, all the first born die unless the blood was applied to their door post) and in the end Pharaoh let the children go (God had already let Moses know that Pharaoh would harden his heart, and he would let the children go). The deliverance from bondage is perhaps the highlight of Exodus. God remained faithful to His promise (the covenant with Abraham) even though the nation and their new leader were not totally keeping their end of the covenant. God delivered his new nation out of the hand of their enemy by destroying them in the Red Sea. The first tabernacle is built based upon Gods instructions. God provided a set of rules (the Ten Commandments and/or the law) to governor the nation set aside as His people. Exodus concludes with the new tabernacle being erected and the dedication of the tabernacle along with the furniture. Another highlight of Exodus is the covenant the nation enters into at Mount Sinai.
