[[Ps-114]] Prev: [[Prophecies in Ps-113]] | Next: [[Prophecies in Ps-115]] --- ### When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of foreign language *Type*: fulfillment *Summary*: This verse describes the physical departure of the Israelites from Egyptian bondage, fulfilling the ancient promise of deliverance given to the patriarchs. *Historical context*: The Exodus is the central founding event of Israel, traditionally dated to the 15th or 13th century BC. Theologians and historians view this as the realization of the promise made to Abraham in [[Gen-15#v13|Genesis 15:13]]-14, where God foretold that his descendants would be enslaved in a foreign land but would eventually come out with great possessions. *Related to*: [[Gen-15#v13|Genesis 15:13]]-14 ### Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his dominion. *Type*: fulfillment *Summary*: The text notes that God chose the tribe of Judah and the nation of Israel to be His dwelling place and kingdom on earth. *Historical context*: This refers to the fulfillment of [[Exod-25#v8|Exodus 25:8]], where God instructed Moses to build a sanctuary so that He could 'dwell among them.' This was historically realized through the Tabernacle and later the First Temple in Jerusalem (within the territory of Judah), which served as the physical site of God's 'Shekinah' presence. *Related to*: [[Exod-25#v8|Exodus 25:8]] ### The sea saw it, and fled. The Jordan was driven back. *Type*: fulfillment *Summary*: The Psalmist recounts the miraculous parting of the Red Sea and the later stopping of the Jordan River, which allowed Israel to exit Egypt and enter the Promised Land. *Historical context*: These events fulfill the specific divine assurances given to Moses ([[Exod-14#v13|Exodus 14:13]]-16) and Joshua ([[Josh-01#v2|Joshua 1:2]]-3; 3:7-17). The crossing of the Jordan marked the completion of the Exodus journey and the formal beginning of the conquest of Canaan. *Related to*: [[Exod-14#v13|Exodus 14:13]]-16 and [[Josh-01#v2|Joshua 1:2]]-3 ### Tremble, you earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob *Type*: prophecy *Summary*: A prophetic command or anticipation that the entire earth must shake or be in awe at the manifest presence of God. *Historical context*: While it recalls the shaking of Sinai ([[Exod-19#v18|Exodus 19:18]]), literary analysts and theologians often link this 'trembling of the earth' to the eschatological 'Day of the Lord' and the cosmic shaking mentioned in [[Hag-02#v6|Haggai 2:6]] and [[Heb-12#v26|Hebrews 12:26]]-27. In the New Testament, an earthquake marked the presence of the Lord at the Resurrection ([[Matt-28#v2|Matthew 28:2]]), and a final shaking of 'not only the earth but also the heavens' is prophesied for the end of the age. *Related to*: [[Hag-02#v6|Haggai 2:6]] and [[Heb-12#v26|Hebrews 12:26]] ### who turned the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a spring of waters. *Type*: fulfillment *Summary*: Recounts the miracle where God produced water from a dry rock to sustain the Israelites in the wilderness. *Historical context*: This fulfills the specific sign promised in [[Exod-17#v6|Exodus 17:6]] and [[Num-20#v8|Numbers 20:8]]. Christian theology, specifically [[1 Cor-10#v4|1 Corinthians 10:4]], identifies this event as a prophetic 'type' or foreshadowing of Jesus Christ, stating that 'the Rock was Christ'—the ultimate source of 'living water' for humanity ([[John-04#v14|John 4:14]]). *Related to*: [[Exod-17#v6|Exodus 17:6]] and [[Num-20#v8|Numbers 20:8]] --- #ai_prophecy
