According to the days of thy coming out of the land of Egypt will I shew unto him marvellous things.
According to the days of Israel's coming out of Egypt, God promises to show His people marvelous works again. It foretells a second exodus, a future recovery and restoration of His scattered remnant after an appointed period of bondage, when the yoke is broken and the indignation ends. That final deliverance comes just before the coming of the Lord and leads into the eternal inheritance, with wonders that will equal or surpass those performed in Egypt. As Israel was spared while plagues struck Egypt, God's people will be protected while the wicked are afflicted, and He will feed and provide for the remnant in the final distress, even with water from the rock and food from heaven if needed. The promise belongs to His small, forsaken last-day flock when every earthly support is taken away, whom He will defend and keep through the coming hour of trial while the nations that see His favors are confounded, and those scoffed at for faith in a coming Christ are honored while their persecutors are humbled.
Chapter Setting and Wording
Chapter 7 lays out the history of the church all the way to the second coming of Christ. Within that outline verse 15 belongs to the final division of the prophecy, the part that closes with a promise of blessing. That whole chapter is a striking prophecy of last-day conditions.
The promised recovery is patterned after Israel's coming out of Egypt, with God showing marvelous things to the remnant. The plural days ties that recovery to the events of the wilderness sojourn, which stand as types of the remnant's experience in the last days. Like the former deliverance, this recovery follows an appointed time of bondage and arrives with the breaking of the yoke and the ending of the indignation. It is a pledge that God will show His people marvelous works just as He did in bringing them out of Egypt, recalling the wonders then performed.
Promised Second Exodus
The verse foretells a second exodus, a future recovery and restoration of God's scattered remnant patterned after Israel's coming out of Egypt. That deliverance follows the fulfillment of the times of the Gentiles, comes after an appointed period of bondage, and brings the breaking of the yoke and the end of the indignation. The plural days connects the promised recovery with the events of Israel's wilderness sojourn, which serve as types for the remnant's last-day experience.
The final deliverance comes just before the coming of the Lord, and leads into the promised eternal inheritance. The wonders and miracles performed in Egypt at the first deliverance will be equaled or surpassed by wonders accompanying that final deliverance, when God shows His people mighty works as He did then. That deliverance and blessing comes amid a visitation of judgment and mercy patterned after the deliverance from Egypt. When the earth casts out the dead and the Lord comes to punish its inhabitants, the nations will see God's favors to Israel and be confounded.
As Israel was spared while the plagues struck Egypt, so God's people will be protected in the end-time plagues while the wicked are afflicted. The recovery from captivity includes marvelous acts like those performed at the coming out of Egypt, applied to a later gathering and wilderness experience. There God feeds and cares for His people as they are prepared for what follows and pass through the final distress of sin. He can again provide for the remnant in that wilderness, even with water from the rock and food from heaven if needed.
Comfort for Last-Day Remnant
God will feed His small flock in the last days and display wonders toward them as He did during the departure from Egypt. When every earthly support is removed, the church will stand forsaken as her Lord was, under reproach for small numbers, poverty, and insignificance, yet He will still sustain her. That day of forsaking is a day for building walls. The promise cheers and comforts those humbled under reproof as they wait for Him to plead their cause, pardon iniquity, tread sins underfoot, restore the years of reproach, and give fullness of glory at His coming.
The promise belongs to the faithful remnant facing the concentrated forces of evil at the end. God will work for them and with them, and will defend and keep them through the coming hour of trial. Their part is to consecrate themselves to His service. When the earth casts out the dead and the Lord comes to punish its inhabitants, the nations will see His favors and acts toward Israel in a future visitation of judgment and mercy patterned after the deliverance from Egypt, and will be confounded and ashamed of their might.
In that day those scoffed at because of their faith in a coming Christ will be honored while their detractors are humbled. This includes professed Christians who persecuted the faithful of God. By doing so they proved they are not true Jews, who are true followers of Christ.
