The
tabernacle was the testimony of God, which typifies Christ with the church. The
church today is God’s tabernacle constituted of Christ and the saints. Such a testimony is built with the
offerings of God’s people. Therefore,
the riches of the Egyptians came through the labor of God’s people and were
spent for God’s testimony. This is what it means to plunder the world of
its wealth. (Life-study of Exodus, pp. 293, 295)
God was watching and observing in order to bring His
people out of the world. His people had to cooperate with Him by watching unto
Him. They had to be watchful because
they did not know at what time they would march out of Egypt. By this we
see that no sleepy ones or loose ones can have an adequate exodus. If you want to make an exodus from the
world, you need to be watchful, observant, and vigilant.
