THE SECOND EXODUS
PREPARING FOR
THE GREAT TRIBULATON (DISTRESS)
Second Exodus?
Could Scripture refer to a second, and
greater deliverance that
overshadows the first Exodus from
The Second Exodus will be so
incredible and miraculous, the first Exodus will pale by comparison:
Jer 16:14-16:
“'Therefore see, the days are coming,' declares Yahuah,
when it is no longer said, ‘Yahuah
lives who brought up the children of Yisrael from the land of Mitsrayim,’
but, ‘Yahuah
lives who brought up the children of Yisrael from the land of the north and from
all the lands where He had driven them.’ For I shall bring them back into
their land I gave to their fathers.
'See, I am sending for many fishermen,' declares
Yahuah,
'and they shall fish them. And after that I shall send for many hunters,
and they shall hunt them from every mountain and every hill, and out of the
holes of the rocks.'"
The following
describes the
second coming of Yahusha,
and the
Second Exodus:
Jer (YirmeYahu) 23:3-8:
“Therefore I shall gather the remnant
of My flock out of all the lands where I have driven them, and shall bring them
back to their fold. And they shall bear and increase.
And I shall raise
up shepherds over them, and they shall feed them. And
they shall fear no more, nor be discouraged, nor shall they be lacking, declares
Yahuah.
See, the days are coming,” declares
Yahuah,
“when I shall raise for Da’uḏ
a Branch
of righteousness, and a Sovereign shall reign and act wisely, and shall do
right-ruling and righteousness in the earth
In His days Yahudah shall be saved, and Yisrael dwell safely. And this is
His Name whereby He shall be called: 'Yahuah is our Righteousness.’
(Transliterated in Hebrew: Yahuah Tsediqenu; this is Yahusha's "new Name")
Therefore, see, the days are coming,” declares
Yahuah,
“when they shall say no more, ‘As
Yahuah
lives who brought up the children of Yisrael out of the land of Mitsrayim,’
but, ‘As
Yahuah
lives who brought up and led the seed of the house of Yisrael out of the land of
the north and from all the lands where I had driven them.’ And they shall
dwell on their own soil.”

HOW IT IS DESCRIBED HERE:
Jer
(YirmeYahu) 31:1-40
“At that time,” declares Yahuah,
“I shall be the Elohim of all the clans of Yisrael, and they shall be My
people.”
Thus said
Yahuah,
“A people escaped from the sword found favor in the wilderness, Yisrael, when it
went to find rest.”
Yahuah
appeared to me from afar, saying, “I have loved you with an everlasting
love, therefore I shall draw you with kindness.
I am going to build you again. And you shall be rebuilt, O maiden of Yisrael!
Again you shall take up your tambourines, and go forth in the dances of those
who rejoice.
Again you shall plant vines on the mountains of Shomeron
(popularized, “
For there shall
be a day when the
watchmen
(Hebrew, “Natsarim”)
cry in mountain Ephrayim, ‘Arise, and let us go up to Tsiyon, to
Yahuah
our Elohim.’ ”
(mountain is metaphoric for “nation”, and with the next verse informing the
meaning, Ephraim resides in the chief of the nations when this occurs)
For thus said
Yahuah,
“Sing with gladness for Ya'aqoḇ,
and shout among the chief of the nations. Cry
out, give praise, and say, ‘O
Yahuah,
save
(deliver)
Your people,
the remnant of Yisrael!’
(read Ps 80, keeping in mind it is the
“cry” of Ephraim)
See, I am
bringing them from the land of the north, and
shall gather them from the ends of the earth,
among them the blind and the lame, those with child and those in labor, together
– a great assembly returning here.
With weeping
they shall come, and with their prayers I bring them. I shall make them
walk by rivers of waters, in a straight way in which they do not stumble. For I
shall be a Father to Yisrael, and Ephrayim – he is My first-born.
Hear the word
of Yahuah,
O gentiles, and declare it in the isles afar off, and say, ‘He who scattered
Yisrael gathers him, and shall guard him as a shepherd his flock.’
For
Yahuah
shall ransom Ya'aqoḇ,
and redeem him from the hand of one stronger than he.
And they shall
come in and shall sing on the height of Tsiyon, and stream to the goodness of
Yahuah,
for grain and for new wine and for oil, and for the young of the flock and the
herd. And their being shall be like a well-watered garden, and never languish
again.
Then shall a
maiden rejoice in a dance, and young men and old, together. And I shall turn
their mourning to joy, and shall comfort them, and shall make them rejoice from
their sorrow,
and shall fill
the being of the priests with fatness. And My people shall be satisfied with My
goodness,” declares Yahuah.
Thus said
Yahuah,
“A voice was heard in Ramah, wailing, bitter weeping, Raḥĕl weeping for her
children, refusing to be comforted for her children, because they are no more.”
Thus said
Yahuah,
“Hold back your voice from weeping, and your eyes from tears, for there is a
reward for your work,” declares
Yahuah,
“and they shall return from the land of the enemy.
And there is
expectancy for your latter end,” declares
Yahuah,
“and your children shall return to their own country.
I have clearly
heard Ephrayim lamenting, ‘You have chastised me, and I was chastised, like an
untrained calf. Turn me back, and I shall turn back, for You are
Yahuah
my Elohim.
(Note similar wording at Ps 80)
For after my
turning back, I repented. And after I was instructed, I struck myself on the
thigh. I was ashamed, even humiliated, for I bore the reproach of my youth.’
Is Ephrayim a
precious son to Me, a child of delights? For though I spoke against him, I still
remembered him. That is why My affections were deeply moved for him. I have
great compassion for him,” declares
Yahuah.
Set up
signposts, make landmarks; set your heart toward the highway, the way in which
you went. Turn back, O maiden of Yisrael, turn back to these cities of yours!
Till when would
you turn here and there, O backsliding daughter? For
Yahuah
has created what is new on Earth: a woman encompasses a man!”
Thus said
Yahuah
of hosts, the Elohim of Yisrael, “Let them once again say this word in the
And in Yahudah
and all its cities farmers and those who journey with flocks, shall dwell
together.
For I shall
fill the weary being, and I shall replenish every grieved being.”
At this I awoke
and looked around, and my sleep was sweet to me.
See, the days
are coming,” declares
Yahuah,
“that I shall sow the house of Yisrael and the house of Yahudah with the seed of
man and the seed of beast.
And it shall
be, that as I have watched over them to pluck up, and to break down, and to
throw down, and to destroy, and to afflict, so I shall watch over them to build
and to plant,” declares
Yahuah.
In those days
they shall no longer say, ‘The fathers ate sour grapes, and the children’s teeth
are blunted.’
But each one
shall die for his own crookedness – whoever eats sour grapes, his teeth shall be
blunted.
See, the days
are coming,” declares
Yahuah,
“when I shall make a new covenant with the house of Yisrael and with the house
of Yahudah,
not like the
covenant I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to
bring them out of the
For this is the
covenant I shall make with the house of Yisrael after those days, declares
Yahuah:
I shall put My Torah in their inward parts, and write it on their hearts. And I
shall be their Elohim, and they shall be My people.
And no longer
shall they teach, each one his neighbor, and each one his brother, saying, ‘Know
Yahuah,’
for they shall all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them,”
declares
Yahuah.
“For I shall forgive their crookedness, and remember their sin no more.”
Thus said
Yahuah,
who gives the sun for a light by day, and the laws of the moon and the stars for
a light by night, who stirs up the sea, and its waves roar –
Yahuah
of hosts is His Name:
If these laws
vanish from before Me,” declares Yahuah,
“then the seed of Yisrael shall also cease from being a nation before Me
forever.”
Thus said
Yahuah,
“If the heavens above could be measured, and the foundations of the earth
searched out beneath, I would also cast off all the seed of Yisrael for all that
they have done,” declares
Yahuah.
See, the days
are coming,” declares Yahuah,
“that the city shall be built for
Yahuah
from the
And the
measuring line shall again extend straight ahead to the hill Gareb, then it
shall turn toward Goah.
And all the
valley of the dead bodies and of the ashes, and all the fields as far as the
wadi Qidron, to the corner of the Horse Gate toward the east, is to be set-apart
to
Yahuah.
It shall not be plucked up or thrown down any more forever.”
See also Is (YeshaYahu) 43,
Jer (YirmeYahu) 25
Jer 3:14-18:
“Return, O backsliding children,”
declares Yahuah,
“for I shall rule over you, and shall take you, one from a city and two from a
clan, and shall bring you to Tsiyon.
And I shall give you shepherds according to My heart, and they shall feed you
with knowledge and understanding.
And it shall be, when you have increased, and shall bear fruit in the land in
those days,” declares Yahuah, “that they no longer say, ‘The ark of the covenant
of Yahuah.’ Neither would it come to heart, nor would they remember it, nor
would they visit it, nor would it be made again.
At that time Yerushalayim shall be called the throne of
Yahuah,
and all the nations shall be gathered to it, to the
Name of Yahuah,
to Yerushalayim, and no longer walk after the stubbornness of their evil heart.
In those days the house of Yahudah shall go to
the house of Yisrael, and they shall come
together out of the land of the north to the land that I have given as an
inheritance to your fathers.
COMPARISON OF
FIRST
EXODUS
AND SECOND EXODUS
There is a difference in the
sealed
and
re-gathered
tribes
of
By looking
into
these details, Yahuah is preparing us for the
Second Exodus,
and the work ahead during the Great Trib (distress).
Instead of
6 million
Israelites
as was in the
First Exodus,
there are now perhaps
6 billion
to be redeemed from captivity, from the ends of the Earth,
scattered people who are lost to their identity – but Yahuah remembers them.
The sealing, gathering, and gating in the
First Exodus
informs
the events of
the
Second Exodus.
There was protection during the distress
in
The First
Exodus
involved serious
distress
for the unprotected Egyptians, because Yahuah made a distinction
(a type of
sealing
for protection) between
“My people and
your people”.
They
were protected from the worst plague of all by their obedience in marking their
doors at the first Pesach (Passover).
Likewise,
there will be
various
plagues during
the Great Trib (distress), but the people sealed prior to the
Second Exodus
will have the “distinction” of the Name,
Yahuah,
and be
restored and living in
Yahusha’s Covenant.
In the
First
Exodus,
the
distinction
between
the Israelites in
Exo 8:22, 23:
“And in that day I shall separate the
And I shall put
a
distinction between My people and your people.
Tomorrow this sign shall be.”
In the
sealing
(for protection during the distress) Dan and Ephraim are not mentioned, so the
major portion of those descended from these 2 tribes are not protected from the
plagues during the Great Trib. Yosef’s descendants would include both
Ephraim and Menashah, however since Yosef and Menashah are listed as sealed,
there must be some portion of Ephraim with a resistance to receiving the
Name. Moreover, Yosef may have had other sons, and though they are not
mentioned in the blessing, they may exist, and receive the Name prior to the
Great Trib.
The
Name
is a
strong tower,
and in one of these texts we see that it is a refuge in the day of my “distress”
(tribulation):
Pro 18:10:
“The Name
of Yahuah is a
strong tower;
The righteous run into it and are
safe.
Psa 59:16:
“And I, I sing of Your power; And in the morning I sing aloud of Your kindness;
For You have been my
strong tower
And a refuge in
the day of my
distress.”
In the
re-gathering
process, at the end of the Great Trib (distress), we see that Dan and Ephraim
are restored. This is the
Second Exodus,
at Yahusha’s return to gather us
from the ends of the Earth - Christians call it the “rapture”.
They’ve
been taught not to believe they will endure the Great Trib (distress);
but
they must be sealed
because they will be alive for this period, and on Earth to do a most important
work -- otherwise they will receive the plagues and have to repent
during the Great Trib (distress). Many will repent and accept the Name and
Covenant during the Great Trib,
due to the work we will be doing among them, because the bulk of them are
believers, but not
yet
Covenant
observing
people;
so we will have a great purpose for being on Earth to help guide them. The
Second Exodus
will occur after we have accomplished our work, and it is us who are
“those who lead many to righteousness like the stars forever and ever.”
–
which we will do during the “time of distress”.
Notice
this end-time revelation given to Dani’el:
Dan 12:1-3:
“Now at that time Mika’el shall stand up, the great head who is standing over
the sons of your people. And there shall be a
time of distress,
such as never was since there was a nation, until that time. And at that time
your people
shall be
delivered,
every one who is found written in the book, and many of those who sleep in the
dust of the earth wake up, some to everlasting life, and some to reproaches,
everlasting abhorrence. And those who have insight shall shine like the
brightness of the expanse, and
those who lead
many to righteousness
like the stars forever and ever.”
Those of us who
are
sealed
(with the Name) for protection from the plagues during the Great Trib (distess)
will produce much “fruit”. The following text describes an
uncountable
number
which those who are sealed have been able to help (also referred to at Dan
12:1-3):
Rev 7:9, 10:
“After
this I
looked and saw a
great crowd
which no one was able to count, out of all nations and tribes and peoples and
tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, dressed in white robes,
and palm branches in their hands,
and crying out
with a loud voice, saying, “Deliverance belongs to our Elohim who sits on the
throne, and to the Lamb!”
At Rev 7,
Dan
and
Ephraim
are not listed as being sealed (for protection). Yet through the work of
those sealed during the Great Trib, an uncountable number will be gathered at
the return of Yahusha, which will be the time of the
Second Exodus.
He's coming back to redeem the descendants (and all those "lost" that didn't
know they were descendants of
Eze 48:31-35:
“The three gates northward: one gate for
Re’uben,
one gate for
Yahudah,
one gate for
Lui.
And on the
east side, four thousand five hundred cubits, three gates: one gate for
Yosef,
one gate for
Binyamin,
one gate for
Dan.
And on the
south side, measuring four thousand five hundred cubits, three gates: one
gate for
Shimʽon,
one gate for
Yissasḵar,
one gate for
Zeḇulun.
And on the west side, four thousand five hundred cubits with their three
gates: one gate for
Gad,
one gate for
Asher,
one gate for
Naphtali.
All around: eighteen thousand cubits. And the name of the city from that day
is:
Yahuah
is there!”
(In Hebrew:
Yahuah
Shammah!)
