When Egypt was destroyed, as recorded in the Book of Exodus, the whole earth went through a transformation, including God’s people who were protected in a seemingly desolate wasteland in a refreshing mist of His glory.
Just remember that our Sukkahs during Sukkot are reminders of miraculously surviving and being supernaturally sustained in the midst of great tribulation. “We must through many tribulations enter the kingdom of God” (Acts 14:22). Our temporary shelters are a reminder of how God lovingly and tenderly cared for the Israelites, as they journeyed through the dangers of the desert. He will do the same in this hour.
It is written: “Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you” (Matt. 6:33 NKJV).
The children of Israel supernaturally survived their wilderness experience, because God provided clothes, shoes, food, water, shade, and pest control for them: “Now Moses called all Israel and said to them: “You have seen all that the Lord did before your eyes in the land of Egypt, to Pharaoh and to all his servants and to all his land— the great trials which your eyes have seen, the signs, and those great wonders. Yet the Lord has not given you a heart to perceive and eyes to see and ears to hear, to this very day. And I have led you forty years in the wilderness. Your clothes have not worn out on you, and your sandals have not worn out on your feet. You have not eaten bread, nor have you drunk wine or similar drink, that you may know that I am the Lord your God” (Deuteronomy 29:2-6 NKJV).
Hebrew history records that their sandals and clothes did not wear out for forty years, as they wandered in the wilderness protected by the Pillar of Cloud by day and the Pillar of Fire by night. “Then it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the people go, that God did not lead them by way of the land of the Philistines, although that was near; for God said, ‘Lest perhaps the people change their minds when they see war, and return to Egypt.’ So God led the people around by way of the wilderness of the Red Sea. And the children of Israel went up in orderly ranks out of the land of Egypt. … And the Lord went before them by day in a Pillar of Cloud to lead the way, and by night in a Pillar of Fire to give them light, so as to go by day and night. He did not take away the Pillar of Cloud by day or the Pillar of Fire by night from before the people” (Exodus 13:17-18,21-22 NKJV).
The Pillar of Fire kept them warm during frigid nights, gave them light, and kept all evil forces away – insects, animals, humans and otherwise. The Pillar of Cloud not only provided shade in the scorching heat; but also protection from snakes, scorpions, and the like. This same Pillar of Cloud – the Cloud of His Presence – supernaturally sustained their clothes and shoes, provided food – manna – that descended for forty years and was collected before sunrise as well as met with Moses: “And it came to pass, when Moses entered the tabernacle, that the Pillar of Cloud descended and stood at the door of the tabernacle, and the Lord talked with Moses: (Exodus 33:9 NKJV).
All this to say that God will once again supernaturally sustain and protect His people: “Cast your burden on the Lord, And He shall sustain you; He shall never permit the righteous to be moved” (Psalms 55:22).
Shabbat Shalom and Happy Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot) in your hearts and homes!
Give em heaven!!!
