Jesus in Exodus Quiz

Exodus 12 refers to Passing over of the Angel of Death as the culmination of a judgement against “all the god’s of Egypt” just as the New Testament presents Jesus’ ultimate Passover as a victory over every demonic power! So the first three questions concern this season of spiritual warfare, the plagues of Egypt.

So to get your brain in gear can you put the plagues of Egypt in order?

Now you’ve had to think about the plagues let see if we make the connection between the plagues and the attributes of Egypt’s gods.

Every plague contains points of contact with at least one senior and/or minor gods in Egypt’s pantheon. See if you can match an Egytian demiurge to each plague.

Drag the image to the plague!

Now try to match the last five plagues to a relevant pagan deity!

The burning bush, Exodus 3-4 is the first Christophany (God/Christ appearing in tangible form) in the book. It takes up a whole two chapters, and the Greek version of the OT, the Septuagint, uses the word “apostle” 7 times in it. It is part of the ministry of Christ to send apostles! For more click here!

Now, what is the name of the location that Moses has this commissioning encounter?

There are parallels between Moses’ apostle-ing by the visible LORD in the burning bush and the apostle-ing of various groups in the Gospels.

Which of the following promises or commissions from the New Testament is Moses not given at his own apostle-ing, either explicitly or cryptically?

Moses’ commissioning also introduces the word “Holy” to the Bible for the first time… Exodus 3:5. Then the very next verse is quoted by Jesus in response to a question intended to catch him out … what was Jesus being questioned about when he referenced Exodus 3:6.

In preparing the children of Israel for the great escape of Passover, YHWH makes four promises in Exodus6:6-7.

• I will bring you out from Egypt…
• I will deliver you from bondage…
• I will redeem you …
• I will take you as mine and be yours…

These promises became part of the Passover ritual and were celebrated by Jesus at the last supper. They where symbolised by which of the following Passover tokens?

YHWH reveals a bit more of his promissory nature for the first time since Abraham shortly after the Israelites cross the Red Sea. He shows the people a healing tree and declares himself to be YHWH Rophe, The Lord Who Heals You. What was the name of the place where this happened?

In Exodus 17 Joshua, who is called “Jesus” in the Greek version of the Old Testament (The Septuagint, LXX), fight’s a typologically symbolic battle, overcoming the flesh represented by the Amalekites (who where descendents of Edom who stand for Adam in prophecy) while being watched over by the Law represented by Moses and the sacrificial system represented by Aaron the High Priest. Immediately after the battle Moses builds an altar and a new YHWH name is revealed.

What is that name?

In the Sermon on the mount, Matthew 5-7, Jesus radically re-interprets the Ten Commandments, (also given on a mountain). Some directly and others conceptually.

So which of the following Commandments from Exodus 20 are referenced in the Sermon on the Mount by direct quote rather than oblique reference? Tick all that apply.

The phrase “the blood of the Covenant” is only used once in the Old Testament but is used six times in the New Testament, (sometimes it is expanded i.e. “the blood of the New Covenant” or “eternal Covenant”).

Which of the following do we know for sure got to experience this blessing?

Which item found in the Tabernacle is referenced by Paul in Romans 3:25 as “in His blood through faith!”?
