So Israel took his journey with all that he had...
#genesis 46:1 #vayigash

Jacob took everything he owned to Egypt contrary to the instructions of Pharaoh in Genesis 45:20. Is this prophetic of Israel taking everything out of Egypt again centuries later, also contrary to the instructions of Pharaoh?

[Jacob's sons] also took their livestock and their goods, which they had gained in the land of Canaan, and came into Egypt, Jacob and all his offspring with him,
Genesis 46:6

All of Jacob's family ignored Pharaoh's instructions to leave their possessions behind. Yep. Definitely prophetic.

I don't like scraping wax so I disassemble our menorah and bake it with the platter (wax catcher) at a low temp then clean them with a wet paper towel. Today, I dropped the darn paper plate I was using the catch the melted wax on the floor. I guess it's easier scrape wax off the floor than a detailed menorah, LOL!

Isaiah 66:22-23 paints a picture of what will happen for all mankind. Not "just the Jews". Or "whenever you want". Or "on the Lord's day". The question I would pose is this. If Sabbath was founded at Creation; reinforced with the people God set-apart; kept by our Savior who is to be our example; and is prophesied to be kept when this world passes away: why wouldn't we keep it now?
