In the Shadow of the Pyramids

<p>The Israelites had lived in the shadow of the Pyramids for 400 years and the Exodus was supposed to liberate them from that shadow. Yet Yahweh knew that the shadows cast were not simply physical but spiritual emotional and social. God's instructions in Deuteronomy were designed to remove every trace of their slavery mindset. Our journey through Deuteronomy explores the liberation God offered and how God's freedom legislation reflects the wider redemption narrative of the Bible. As we stand with the Israelites at the cusp of the promised land we'll also reflect on the images that cast shadows over our hearts and how God's 3000-year-old guidance may still emancipate our modern unequal society.</p>
