Exodus - 40 - Exod. 15:1-18 - SONG BY THE SEA - SAVED BY GRACE

It's over.  God's wrath is fully played out against Egypt and the gods of Egypt.  We now begin the journey to the PROMISED LAND.  But before we head out the whole group of Hebrews and Moses sing a song, the Song by the Sea. 

Is this the Song of Moses as referenced in Rev. 15:1-3 ...'

Then I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvelous, seven angels who had seven plagues, which are the last, because in them the wrath of God is finished. And I saw something like a sea of glass mixed with fire, and those who had been victorious over the beast and his image and the number of his name, standing on the sea of glass, holding harps of God. And they sang the song of Moses, the bond-servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying,  "Great and marvelous are Your works, O Lord God, the Almighty; Righteous and true are Your ways, King of the nations! (Rev 15:1-3)

This is the only place in the entire Bible where one finds the phrase "the song of Moses." So, what is this song?  Some say it is the Song by the Sea we are studying in Exod. 15.  But, the Bible doesn't say that.  It doesn't even call it the Song by the Sea. 

So, we find that many have OPINIONS and VIEWS as to what is the Song of Moses and say it is the Song by the Sea.  However, there are places where the phrase "the Song of Moses" is used.  It is found in Jewish literature and Torah commentary.  All of a sudden we see that John, who is a Jew, when he, under the Lord's inspiration, wrote the Revelation, uses the phrase "the song of Moses" that seemingly was well understood in Second Temple Judaism.  Then it was simply called THE SONG.  It so happens it refers to Deut. 32:1-43.  

So we have two songs.  The Song by the Sea and the the song God commands Moses to write down and teach all Israel.  So, which one is the Song of Moses?  This is very interesting.

In this lesson I tell of an awesome day for me and my wife Robin in the Jewish Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem.  I was taking Bible geography class for my masters program and we stopped outside the Jewish gift shop, Shosharim.  Shosharim means "the roots."  See the picture below.

It is owned by Rabbi Moses Kempinski and his brother.  The rabbi is a great guy and loves to talk the Word of the Lord with Jews and Gentiles.  He wants all to learn their ROOTS, their SHOSHARIM, the Jewish Roots of their faith both for those practicing Judaism and Christians.  Our class was outside the shop and we got into an awesome dialogue with Moses - in Hebrew Moses is pronounced MOSHAY.  See the picture of Rabbi Kempinski below.

Rabbi Kempinski then asked us a question.  The question was where did the phrase "saved by grace" come from?  The answer was so so awesome.  It literally blew me away.  It is related to the Song by the Sea.  Once again we see the truth of God's word and that God doesn't change and is the same then, now and forever.  God's word is firmly settled in the universe.  What was true today, was true in Paul's day, David's day, and in 1446 B.C. by Yam Suf, the Sea of Reeds.
