"Untact" Evangelism in the Age of Egypt(Exodus 3:18~20)
"The elders of Israel will listen to you. Then you and the elders are to go to the king of Egypt and say to him, 'The LORD, the God of the Hebrews, has met with us. Let us take a three-day journey into the desert to offer sacrifices to the LORD our God.'"(18)
Hymn #505 Christ for the Whole Wide World(Unified Hymn 268)
One of the hidden methods that God utilizes is "untact" evangelism. There are three reasons for using the “untact” evangelism method. First, God said, "All nations will be blessed through your seed." Evangelization of the 237 nations is solely possible through "untact" methods. Second, the businesses that will survive in the future are "untact" businesses. The "4th Industry" can be seen as an "untact" method of business. Third, "untact" businesses and "untact" strategies have already existed. However, in the future, they'll become more certain. Then, how was "untact" evangelism accomplished in the age of Egypt?
1. Joseph's "Untact" Evangelism(Genesis 37:1~11)
Joseph went as a slave to the house of a man who had authority and could connect Joseph with many people. In addition, he was imprisoned with royal officials who could communicate with Pharaoh and the world. At that time, through an incident created by God, Joseph was appointed governor who then sold grain throughout the entire world. This was Joseph's "untact" strategy.
2. Moses' "Untact" Evangelism
The ten miracles that took place in Egypt became known throughout the world. After that, the Israelites crossed the Red Sea(Exodus 14:1~13). Through the incident of the Red Sea, God's goal was to spread the Gospel to the whole world. In the wilderness, for forty years, the Israelites did everything centered on the Tabernacle. Through the Tabernacle, there was something precious that God wanted to explain. He wanted to explain that everything was related with world evangelization.
3. Joshua, Caleb, and Rahab's "Untact" Evangelism
After the Israelites crossed the Jordan River, they broke down the Wall of Jericho. In addition, an "unprecedented and never-repeated" event occurred in which the sun and moon stood still. These were a part of globalization. In the future, it'll be solely possible for businesses to survive and truly evangelize by only using "untact” strategies.
At this time, here are some points to keep in mind. The difficulties that are experienced alone are the beginning of "untact," and many realistic hardships are the absolute conditions of "untact." Also, the various conflicts are time schedules of concrete renewal toward "untact." Those who know these will never be afraid of unforeseen incidents.
[Covenantal Prayer] Dear God, by following the stream of the Word, thank you for guiding me to follow the answers given by You. At this time, please grant spiritual power to all the scattered disciples. In Jesus Christ's name, I pray. Amen.
