2. Isaiah’s typology that God is mighty than magicians and sorcerers of Egypt: God made a mockery of the Egyptian magicians and sorcerers as they could not repeat what Moses was doing and “The magicians said to Pharaoh, “this is the finger of God.”” (Ex. 8:19). In Isaiah 47:12-15, God says to the Babylon that all their magic spells and sorceries are useless and will not succeed. And not to depend on the counsel of the astrologers and stargazers, they are like stubble and fire will consume them. Not one of them will save you.
3. Isaiah’s typology of the escape from Egypt “in haste”: Instead of leaving “in haste” as the Israelites did in Egypt. (Ex. 12:11, and Deuteronomy 16:3), they will not go out in haste.

Isaiah’s typology of the judgement on Egypt: The analogy of God’s judgement as seen in Exodus. 7:4 (“he will not listen to you. Then I will lay my hand on Egypt and with mighty acts of judgment I will bring out my divisions, my people the Israelites,” NIV), is used by Isaiah in 19:8-10, where God destroys the Nile river. But, surprisingly this time instead of being judged, they will come to know and worship God as we read in Isaiah 19:21-22 (So the Lord will make himself known to the Egyptians, and in that day they will acknowledge the Lord. They will worship with sacrifices and grain offerings; they will make vows to the Lord and keep them. 22 The Lord will strike Egypt with a plague; he will strike them and heal them. They will turn to the Lord, and he will respond to their pleas and heal them. (NIV).
Grogan writes in the Expositor’s Bible Commentary that “The Lord will reveal himself to Egypt again, but this time in an entirely different way, much more after the pattern of his self-disclosure to Israel; for he will deal with them also on the basis of grace.
6. Isaiah’s typology of the separation of the waters: During the Exodus from Egypt, God separated the Red sea and dried up the waters to make a way for Israelites to walk on a dry land. Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and all that night the Lord drove the sea back with a strong east wind and turned it into dry land. The waters were divided, (Exodus 14:21, NIV). Similarly, Isaiah says God will dry the …show more content…
Isaiah’s typology of God as a mighty warrior who protects and provides for Israel: During the first Exodus God said to the Israelites “But I know that the king of Egypt will not let you go unless a mighty hand compels him. So I will stretch out my hand and strike the Egyptians with all the wonders that I will perform among them. After that, he will let you go. (Exo. 3:19-20, NIV). Moses also reminds the Israelites, “Has any god ever tried to take for himself one nation out of another nation, by testings, by signs and wonders, by war, by a mighty hand and an outstretched arm, or by great and awesome deeds, like all the things the Lord your God did for you in Egypt before your very eyes?”. (Deut. 4:34, NIV). Because he loved your ancestors and chose their descendants after them, he brought you out of Egypt by his Presence and his great strength, (Deut. 4:37-38, NIV). Isaiah picks up the same analogy of the mighty Arm of God and says “See, the Sovereign Lord comes with power, and his arm rules for him...”. (Isa. 40:10,
