The term itself may not frequently appear in English translations, but the idea is prevalent throughout the biblical narrative.<br><br><b>1. Literal Exits:</b><br><br>· <b>Exodus from Egypt:</b> The most significant literal exit in the Bible is the Exodus, where the Israelites departed from slavery in Egypt under the leadership of Moses. This event is foundational to Jewish identity and is commemorated annually during Passover. The book of Exodus details this departure, highlighting God's deliverance and the establishment of the covenant at Sinai. "So Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and at daybreak the sea returned to its normal state. As the Egyptians fled before it, the LORD swept them into the sea" (<a href="/exodus/14-27.htm">Exodus 14:27</a>).<br><br>· <b>Exits from Cities:</b> Various narratives describe individuals or groups exiting cities, often as acts of obedience or divine intervention. For example, Lot's exit from Sodom is a critical moment of deliverance from impending judgment (<a href="/genesis/19-15.htm">Genesis 19:15-17</a>).<br><br><b>2. Metaphorical Exits:</b><br><br>· <b>Spiritual Departure from Sin:</b> The New Testament frequently speaks of exiting a life of sin and entering into a new life in Christ. This spiritual transition is marked by repentance and faith. Paul writes, "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come!" (<a href="/2_corinthians/5-17.htm">2 Corinthians 5:17</a>).<br><br>· <b>Death as an Exit:</b> Death is often viewed as an exit from the earthly life and an entrance into eternity. For believers, this is seen as a transition to eternal life with God. Paul expresses this hope, saying, "For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain" (<a href="/philippians/1-21.htm">Philippians 1:21</a>).<br><br><b>3. Theological Implications:</b><br><br>· <b>Divine Guidance and Providence:</b> The exits in the Bible often underscore God's guidance and providence. Whether leading the Israelites out of Egypt or calling individuals out of sin, God's hand is evident in orchestrating these transitions.<br><br>· <b>Obedience and Faith:</b> Exiting a place or situation often requires obedience and faith. The Israelites had to trust God to leave Egypt, and believers today are called to trust in Christ for salvation and transformation.<br><br>· <b>Judgment and Salvation:</b> Exits can signify both judgment and salvation. Lot's exit from Sodom was a means of salvation from judgment, while the Exodus was both a judgment on Egypt and a deliverance for Israel.<br><br>In summary, the concept of "exit" in the Bible is rich with meaning, encompassing physical departures, spiritual transitions, and the overarching theme of God's redemptive work in history.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
