Finding Messiah in Torah
The central axis of the structure reveals signs of Messiah:
In Exo 1:22, Moses, even though as yet unborn, was given a death sentence.
In Exo 2:2, Moses was hidden away unseen for three months.
In Exo 2:6-10, Moses was miraculously raised up to life.
Here we have a clear prophetic picture of the death, burial, and resurrection of Messiah, who was born to be the Deliverer of Israel!
