New Covenant Exodus

The uneducated lay-church in their simple acceptance of spoon fed theology fails to realize the deep things of God such as the fact that the "exodus" was nothing more than an "exit from dust." Just as Moses and the children of Israel exited the dust of Egypt in their flight to freedom and their race toward obtaining the age-abiding covenantal promises of YHWH in the inhabited but soon-to-be eradicated land of Canaan, so in the New Covenant do we exit the dust of deadness in sin to the newness of life by being washed in the regenerative water of the self-sacrificial Messianic blood. In the same way that our exemplar Yeshua spat into the dirt to form the mud that created new eyes in the sockets of the blind, so has he spitten into our formerly dead and dusty existence in order to moisten our once dried up and ineffective spiritual stupor. Once wet, it becomes our duty, no... rather our privilege to spit on the world's elite in order to show the disenfranchised the love of θεος which is manifested only in our utter refusal to deliver the evangel to them, because as the eschatological Messianic prophet opined, "Blessed are the poor."
