Two Biblical Exoduses ✡ "We Departed From the River" - ISRAEL365

Then we departed from the river of Ahava on the twelfth day of the first month, to go unto Yerushalayim; and the hand of our God was upon us, and He delivered us from the hand of the enemy and lier-in-wait by the way. Ezra 8:31 (The Israel Bible™)   וַנִּסְּעָה מִנְּהַר אַהֲוָא בִּשְׁנֵים עָשָׂר לַחֹדֶשׁ הָרִאשׁוֹן לָלֶכֶת יְרוּשָׁלִָם וְיַד אֱלֹהֵינוּ הָיְתָה עָלֵינוּ וַיַּצִּילֵנוּ מִכַּף אוֹיֵב וְאוֹרֵב עַל הַדָּרֶךְ עזרא ח:לא va-nis-a mi-n’-har a-ha-va bish-nyam a-sar la-kho-desh ha-ri-shon la-le-khet y’-ru-sha-la-yim v’-yad e-lo-hay-nu ha-y’-ta a-lay-nu va-ya-tzee-lay-nu mi-kaf o-yayv v’-o-rayv al ha-da-rekh

Jerusalem Inspiration For the people of Israel, the past and the present fuse together to create the most extraordinary future. As told in today's verse, it is clear that a carefully choreographed event is planned and designed to reflect a former exodus, the exodus from Egypt.  Just as the Jews left Egypt in the first month, the month of ‘Nissan,’ and crossed the Red Sea, Ezra’s exodus departed from a river in the first month. Certainly, the symbolism of recreating such a formative occurrence wasn’t lost on the members of the entourage, giving them tremendous courage and hope.  "Patterns of Evidence: The Exodus" investigates phenomenal historical and archaeological evidence of the Egyptian Exodus, in a quest to determine whether or not the famous story of the Exodus is fact or fiction.
