Exodus 61 Chapter 17:8

Through the Exodus account the Holy Spirit again exhibits for us both the Temporal and Spiritual deliverance of God's people from the wrath of Pharaoh, and the evil taskmasters of sin's hard bondage.

By use of the Lawgiver, God's man Moses, a great type of the Lord Christ, God shows how Christ brings His people from sin's hard bondage, to regeneration, to justice, to dominion and finally to everlasting life.

While we now find the Hebrew people liberated from Pharaoh, yet, we see clearly that they are still in bondage to their own lusts; murmuring, threatening and blaming God for the trials of their wilderness sojourn.

After many wilderness provisions by the Faithful God in giving them bread, meat and even water from the flinty Rock, God now brings upon the irreverent Hebrews, Amalek, and the terrible Amalekites, as a great and awful chastisment.
