Two impossible births – pt2

A prophetic look at Isaac and Israel from Egypt to Birth

In part 1, we investigated the extraordinary similarities between Abram and Sarai’s time in Egypt with the experiences of the fledging Jewish nation from the time of Joseph’s slavery to the Exodus. We identified many parallels between Abram and God, Sarai and the Jewish people, and Pharaoh with his successors. From this we concluded that these are examples of Biblical typology in action. Looking forward, Sarai’s life would reach its fulfilment with the supernatural birth of Isaac, whilst Jewish history is destined to climax with a national turning to Jesus as Messiah and Saviour. Moving on from Egypt, this is what we shall now explore.
