A Word of the Lord - Singing the Song of Moses

 A Word of the LORD for our day

“We shall soon be singing the Song of Moses”

This is an extension of a teaching and word of the Lord given by Johnny Enlow, 10-29-21.

Within these scriptures is a prophetic Word of the LORD. It is the song of Israel after they were rescued from the Egyptians by God by the parting of the Red Sea. But it is also a foreshadowing of future events for Israel, the true Church, and for the world. Let’s look at these scriptures as they might pertain to the world today, the Church, and to Israel.

The pattern or prophecy of the song of Moses is first seen in the Exodus from Egypt. The pattern has been repeated in part several times in Israel’s history as God delivered them from captivities and oppression by their enemies. In our day we are looking at the persecution and “captivity” of God’s people by the evil in our world today and seeing the pattern being played out in part. The final fulfillment of the pattern or prophecy occurs at the end of the 7 years of tribulation when those who conquer the beast and its image and the number of its name, sing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, "Great and amazing are your deeds, O Lord God the Almighty! Just and true are your ways, O King of the nations!” (Rev 15:1-3).

Now let’s turn to the scriptures.

[Exo 14:30 NASB20] So the LORD saved Israel that day from the hand of the Egyptians, and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the seashore.

There is soon coming a day when the people of the world will be delivered from the evil and bondage that is currently trying to establish control over the world as a “new world order”, (the “cabal”, a centralized “globalist governmental system”, or a “one-world government”). This deliverance will come in the form of a great, miraculous move of God, as like the parting of the Red Sea. The result of the great move of God will be seen as the perpetrators of the evil are pulled down and destroyed.

This deliverance will not completely rid the world of all evil and the works of the devil. Scripture tells us that this will only occur at the return of the Lord Jesus at the end of 7 years of great tribulation. This deliverance does greatly restrain the lawless one and his works until the day He who restrains is taken out of the way (2 Thes 2:7). This restraining force is most probably the Holy Spirit residing in the true church. The lawless one (the Antichrist) and Satan will not be fully released until the true church is taken out of the way in the rapture.

[2Th 2:7-8 ESV] (7) For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work. Only he who now restrains it will do so until he is out of the way. (8) And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will kill with the breath of his mouth and bring to nothing by the appearance of his coming.

For Israel, while they will experience this deliverance, their final deliverance comes at the end of the 7 years of the great tribulation at the LORD’s physical return to the earth. This is the final and greatest fulfillment of the prophecy of the parting of the Red Sea. The dead of God’s enemies will be very great on this day. This will be the day when all of God’s enemies will be destroyed and Satan imprisoned in the abyss for 1000 years. This is the day Israel sings the song of Moses.

[Rev 15:1-3 ESV] (1) Then I saw another sign in heaven, great and amazing, seven angels with seven plagues, which are the last, for with them the wrath of God is finished. (2) And I saw what appeared to be a sea of glass mingled with fire--and also those who had conquered the beast and its image and the number of its name, standing beside the sea of glass with harps of God in their hands. (3) And they sing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, "Great and amazing are your deeds, O Lord God the Almighty! Just and true are your ways, O King of the nations!

For the true church, this day comes in its finality when the LORD comes with a shout and the blast of the shofar to take His bride away to be with Him forever at the rapture of the church.

[1Th 4:16-18 ESV] (16) For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. (17) Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord. (18) Therefore encourage one another with these words.

[Exo 14:31 NASB20] When Israel saw the great power which the LORD had used against the Egyptians, the people feared the LORD, and they believed in the LORD and in His servant Moses.

As a consequence of this great current move of God people will for a season fear the LORD and many will believe in the LORD. There will be a season of a great ingathering of people into God’s Kingdom.

For Israel, there will be a final ingathering during the 7 years of tribulation when they will be saved by the “blood of the Lamb, the word of their testimony, and they did not love their life unto death” (Rev 12:11).

For the true church, this season of ingathering could be the final “gleaning of the wheat fields” resulting in the fullness of the Gentiles and the rapture of true believers.

[Rom 11:25-27 ESV] (25) Lest you be wise in your own sight, I do not want you to be unaware of this mystery, brothers: a partial hardening has come upon Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. (26) And in this way all Israel will be saved, as it is written, "The Deliverer will come from Zion, he will banish ungodliness from Jacob"; (27) "and this will be my covenant with them when I take away their sins."

[Exo 15:1 NASB20] Then Moses and the sons of Israel sang this song to the LORD, saying: "I will sing to the LORD, for He is highly exalted; The horse and its rider He has hurled into the sea.

For God’s people in our day there will be a time of joy and rejoicing; a time of great praising and exalting of the LORD. The destruction of the horse and its rider represent the army of evil, both men, women, and demons that have been the instruments of Satan in implementing his evil plans.

For Israel, this day of celebration occurs at the end of the 7 years of the great tribulation.

For the true church, this day of celebration occurs at the rapture of the church.

[Exo 15:2 NASB20] "The LORD is my strength and song, And He has become my salvation; This is my God, and I will praise Him; My father's God, and I will exalt Him.

The LORD will be praised and exalted during these seasons as He rescues His people from the hand of Satan and his minions. 

[Exo 15:3 NASB20] "The LORD is a warrior; The LORD is His name.

These are seasons where the LORD comes not as the Lamb of God, but as the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, a warrior, the Commander of the Armies of Heaven.

[Exo 15:4 NASB20] "Pharaoh's chariots and his army He has thrown into the sea; And the choicest of his officers are drowned in the Red Sea.

Note here that the “choicest officers”, the leaders of all of this current evil on the earth are destroyed. These will be the key individuals who are working to establish this new world order. Some are already known and others will soon be exposed and revealed. In the end, all of God’s enemies are destroyed and Satan is imprisoned at the Lord’s coming.

[Exo 15:5 NASB20] "The waters cover them; They went down into the depths like a stone.

Going down into the depths hints that these key people will die and descend into the abyss.

[Exo 15:6 NASB20] "Your right hand, LORD, is majestic in power; Your right hand, LORD, destroys the enemy.

It is the LORD who destroys the enemy. Even though He uses men in the process, even these will say that it was God that brought about these great victories over the evil. The plan and the power to implement the plan are so great and miraculous that only God could be there source.

[Exo 15:7 NASB20] "And in the greatness of Your excellence You overthrow those who rise up against You; You send out Your burning anger, [and] it consumes them like chaff.

Some people are working to establish this one-world government (really Satan’s kingdom on the earth) because they have been deceived into believing that it is a good thing and/or that they will greatly personally benefit in it. Then others are true Luciferins who worship Satan and are the true enemies of God. For these, there is only the burning anger or wrath of God that consumes them like chaff.

The final defeat of God’s enemies comes during the days of His wrath; the days preceding His return to earth as King of kings and LORD of lords. These current events are only a foreshadowing of their final defeat.

[Exo 15:8 NASB20] "At the blast of Your nostrils the waters were piled up, The flowing waters stood up like a heap; The depths were congealed in the heart of the sea.

[Exo 15:9 NASB20] "The enemy said, 'I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoils; I shall be satisfied against them; I will draw my sword, my hand will destroy them.'

[Exo 15:10 NASB20] "You blew with Your wind, the sea covered them; They sank like lead in the mighty waters.

The enemies of God will boast, proclaim loudly, rant and rave, and believe that they can secede in implementing their evil plans to destroy God’s people by force and establish their kingdom. But by the breath of His mouth, the LORD will destroy them.

[Exo 15:11 NASB20] "Who is like You among the gods, LORD? Who is like You, majestic in holiness, Awesome in praises, working wonders?

[Exo 15:13 NASB20] "In Your faithfulness You have led the people whom You have redeemed; In Your strength You have guided [them] to Your holy habitation.

Note that it is God’s love for and faithfulness to His redeemed people that He is guiding them to His Holy Habitation, the ultimate promised land. All of this deliverance from the current evil is a part of His plan to get people into His Kingdom and eventually into His presence in Heaven.

For all Israel, this occurs at the end of the 7 years of the great tribulation when God completes His covenant promises to them and takes away their sins.

[Rom 11:25-27 ESV] (25) Lest you be wise in your own sight, I do not want you to be unaware of this mystery, brothers: a partial hardening has come upon Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. (26) And in this way all Israel will be saved, as it is written, "The Deliverer will come from Zion, he will banish ungodliness from Jacob"; (27) "and this will be my covenant with them when I take away their sins."

[Zec 13:1 ESV] (1) "On that day there shall be a fountain opened for the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, to cleanse them from sin and uncleanness.

For the true church, this occurs at the rapture of the church; the days of the fulness of the Gentiles (Rom 11:25-26). This occurs before the wrath of God is poured out at the end of the age.

[1Th 4:16-18 ESV] (16) For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. (17) Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord. (18) Therefore encourage one another with these words.

[Rev 3:10 ESV] (10) Because you have kept my word about patient endurance, I will keep you from the hour of trial that is coming on the whole world, to try those who dwell on the earth.

[1Th 1:10 ESV] (10) and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, Jesus who delivers us from the wrath to come.

[1Th 5:9 ESV] (9) For God has not destined us for wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, ... [1Th 5:11 NKJV] (11) Therefore comfort each other and edify one another, just as you also are doing.

[Exo 15:14 NASB20] "The peoples have heard, they tremble; Anguish has gripped the inhabitants of Philistia.

This great current deliverance will cause the people of the world who do not know the LORD to either come to Him or tremble in fear of Him at what He has just done.

[Exo 15:15 NASB20] "Then the chiefs of Edom were terrified; The leaders of Moab, trembling grips them; All the inhabitants of Canaan have despaired

The leaders of nations will be seized with the fear of the LORD. Some will turn to Him and believe in Him, others will harden their hearts towards Him, but in rebellion and in fear of Him.

[Exo 15:16 NASB20] "Terror and dread fall upon them; By the greatness of Your arm they are motionless as stone, Until Your people pass over, LORD, Until the people pass over whom You have purchased.

This fear of God will persist until all of God’s people are safe in His Kingdom.

[Exo 15:17 NASB20] "You will bring them and plant them in the mountain of Your inheritance, The place, LORD, which You have made as Your dwelling, The sanctuary, LORD, which Your hands have established.

There will be a season of the LORD planting His people in positions on the earth to complete His great commission. But the promise is that eventually they will be found in His sanctuary, His dwelling place in heaven.

[Exo 15:18 NASB20] "The LORD shall reign forever and ever."

The LORD is now reigning from His throne in heaven. He will reign for 1000 years on the earth with His Church beside Him after His return. And after 1000 years He will reign forever and ever over the new heaven and new earth.

[Exo 15:19 NASB20] For the horses of Pharaoh with his chariots and his horsemen went into the sea, and the LORD brought back the waters of the sea on them, but the sons of Israel walked on dry land through the midst of the sea.

The Father’s sons and daughters will walk through the storms of this world as if on dry land. Even in the midst of a sea of storms, God’s children will be safe and victorious, more than conquerors through him who loved us.

 [Rom 8:35-39 ESV] (35) Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? (36) As it is written, "For your sake we are being killed all the day long; we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered." (37) No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. (38) For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, (39) nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

There is also a hint here that the very storms (plans. schemes) of the enemy will be the very things that destroy them.

 

[Exo 15:20 NASB20] Miriam the prophetess, Aaron's sister, took the tambourine in her hand, and all the women went out after her with tambourines and with dancing.

[Exo 15:21 NASB20] And Miriam answered them, "Sing to the LORD, for He is highly exalted; The horse and his rider He has hurled into the sea."

We note here that after the LORD’s great miracle deliverance from the current evil in the world Miriam, representing the believing women of the world are especially rejoicing. It seems that what has happened has a special significance for the women of the world who have faithfully stood by and served the LORD during previous times of trouble and testing.

And for all of God’s children, the final day of deliverance will be a very great day of celebration. There is going to be a wedding in heaven and a very great celebration as the wedding of King Jesus and His Bride takes place. All of creation has been waiting for this day.

[Rom 8:19 NLT] (19) For all creation is waiting eagerly for that future day when God will reveal who his children really are.

[Rev 19:7 ESV] (7) Let us rejoice and exult and give him the glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and his Bride has made herself ready;

Certainly, after the Lord returns and establishes His Kingdom here on the earth there will be a great celebration, rejoicing, singing, and dancing. God’s Kingdom has come and His will will be done on earth as it is in heaven (Mat 6:9-10).
