If they appear now like Israel,
They will find a Moses and a SAVIOUR here,
Who has now come to redeem my people:
I am the FOUNTAIN, and the living STREAM;
I am the ROD that shall divide the Seas;
I am the PILLAR that is hidden from you:
And it is by Faith that you all must see the Light;
For there will be unbelief in thousands now,
And they will pursue, like Pharaoh’s haughty army,
And they will pretend to boast of their knowledge.
And so they will now pursue with Pharaoh;
But they will know their madness in the deep;
Because their wheels, I say, will run too fast;
I mean their wisdom will burst like fury,
To judge the Seas I can never divide:
"O, where is the Moses to bring back the tide?"
"To redeem the fall of man," they will say,
"How can we gain the Promised Land?" they will say.
And so they will try to keep back the faith of men,
With all the rage of hell that can now break out.
But you say it is madness to believe this,
That men will ever wish to sit and grieve,
Oppressed so much by Satan’s power;
You judge that everyone should see the hour with joy,
To have all their burdens taken away;
Men should rejoice to see the glorious day,
That the Redemption of Man is now nearly here,
And the fulfillment of the Promise made to Man.
Now I shall answer in plain words. The deliverance of the Children of Israel, bringing them out of Egypt into the Promised Land, was a type a prophetic symbol or precursor of the Last Days: Pharaoh was a type of the Devil. Now, just as Pharaoh’s magicians used witchcraft to blind the eyes of the Egyptians, so that they might not believe the miracles Moses performed were from the Lord; in the same way, Satan will work in the hearts of men to prophesy the same things as the True Prophets of GOD. Some of their prophecies will come true, just as some of the Magicians' miracles were like the miracles of Moses. For Satan has worked in men who have prophesied out of their own hearts and have seen nothing; yet some things may come true without the spirit of prophecy. Many false Prophets have gone out into the world through the arts of Satan working in men, so that the true
