Exodus 1:1-22

Circumstances have completely changed in the land of Egypt between Genesis and Exodus. That which now characterises Pharaoh and his people is that they do not know Joseph (v. 8; Acts 7:18). The one who saved Egypt and preserved the life of a whole nation has been completely forgotten! It is just the same in the present world, of which Satan is the prince. Jesus the Saviour has no place in men’s thoughts. And similarly, as a result of not knowing God and His Son, souls are held fast in hard servitude, under which some groan, but the great majority remain unconcerned. This slavery in which Satan holds men is pictured in a striking way by the merciless service to which the children of Israel are subjected (v. 13). But the subject of the book of Exodus is redemption: the deliverance of God’s people snatched out of this terrible power.

The wicked king orders the putting to death of all the newly-born baby boys in Israel (cf. Matthew 2:16). But God takes up women who fear Him and on the contrary do not fear the king’s commandment, to defeat the Enemy’s designs. How precious to the heart of God are all marks of faithfulness in the midst of this scene where Satan reigns.
