Flight from Egypt

The handful of brothers and sisters who entered Egypt have become a great nation. They won’t integrate. They can’t integrate. The one thing they know for sure.

There is no national leader and they are entirely subjugated by the nation of their sojourning. They are bound together by the culture and by the promise. They cry out to the God whom they have heard about, but do not really know.

They do not have liberty and so they cannot develop the freedom to serve God.

Liberty is the absence of constraint. Egypt must constrain them or risk being displaced by them. This is neither the intended destiny for Egypt nor for Israel. The exodus toward liberty is forgone. The tectonic forces will not be forever staid.

The only question is what provocation will set loose the earthquake to come. Which side will I chose when it comes?
