The Last Captivity of Israel
Most of us think that 400 years captivity was in Egypt but it was not at all. Israel went into Egypt with joy and because of Joseph the son of Jacob they were given Goshen. This was the best of the land of Egypt. Israel also was in Egypt for over 430 years and only half of that time was in hard labor. Also Egypt was not a strange land to the Israelites and further Joseph never used an interpreter to speak to the Egyptians.
So Egypt was very common to the Israelites. So much so Jacob sent His sons to Egypt for food during the 7 year famine.
Exodus 12:40 Now the time that the sons of Israel lived in Egypt was four hundred and thirty years.
Acts 7:6 "But Yah spoke to this effect, that his DESCENDANTS WOULD BE ALIENS IN A FOREIGN LAND, AND THAT THEY WOULD BE ENSLAVED AND MISTREATED FOR FOUR HUNDRED YEARS.
Deuteronomy 28:49 The Most High will bring a nation against you from far away, from the ends of the earth, like an eagle swooping down, a nation whose language you will not understand,
What land could this be, where Israel will be in bondage for 400 years?
Could this land be none other than America and the other countries that bought slaves by the thousands and millions?
Jeremiah 23:7,8 "So then, the days are coming," declares the Most High, "when people will no longer say, 'As surely as the Most High lives, who brought the Israelites up out of Egypt,' -but they will say, 'As surely as the Most High lives, who brought the descendants of Israel up out of the land of the north and out of all the countries where he had banished them.' Then they will live in their own land."
Isaiah 43:6 "I will say to the north, 'Give them up!' And to the south, 'Do not hold them back.' Bring My sons from afar And My daughters from the ends of the earth,
What's going on with you? Ahhh man, I'm just hanging, WHAT!!!
