Exodus 15:18 - Forerunner Commentary

Exodus 15:18

16 ^aFear and dread will fall on them;
By the greatness of Your arm
They will be ^bas still as a stone,
Till Your people pass over, O Lord,
Till the people pass over
^cWhom You have purchased.

17 You will bring them in and ^aplant them
In the ^bmountain of Your inheritance,
In the place, O Lord, which You have made
For Your own dwelling,
The ^csanctuary, O Lord, which Your hands have established.

18 “The^a Lord shall reign forever and ever.”

19 For the ^ahorses of Pharaoh went with his chariots and his horsemen into the sea, and ^bthe Lord brought back the waters of the sea upon them. But the children of Israel went on dry land in the midst of the sea.

The Song of Miriam

20 Then Miriam ^athe prophetess, ^bthe sister of Aaron, ^ctook the timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out after her ^dwith timbrels and with dances.

Exodus 15:1-18

The "song of Moses" (Exodus 15:1-18) points to the song of victory sung by Moses and the Israelites after their passage through the Red Sea. This song may be the one sung on the sea of glass. It is referring to the Red Sea crossing that spiritually symbolizes the process of salvation from God's calling to our baptism, overcoming, leaving sin behind, and entering God's kingdom.

The ancient "song of Moses" is fulfilled in the future "song of the Lamb," which tells of a greater redemption of a new kingdom of priests: the bride of Christ. Essentially, this song pictures the majesty, holiness, and purity of God. A later song of Moses praised the Lord whose ways are just. That song of Moses is found in Deuteronomy 32:1-43 (note especially verse 4).

Exodus 15:18

The final verse of the song, which is verse 18, is kind of a one liner. It is a clincher.

Notice the stress on reign. And again, the Hebrew words underlying those two words "forever and ever" first appear right here. Those are the same two words that appear in Isaiah 26:4 translated there a bit differently, translated with the word "forever" and "everlasting."

Exodus 15:18

Of course, the song ends:

And if that is not a clue, I do not know what is. What happens once God makes His judgments upon this wicked world, Christ is here, and He will reign for ever and ever.
