What does being 'harnessed' out of Egypt mean for believers?

'Harnessed' in Exodus 13:18 implies that the Israelites were armed for their journey. For believers today, this highlights the need to be spiritually equipped for the battles against the world and the spiritual forces of evil. In Ephesians 6, the Apostle Paul describes the armor of God, which represents the gospel and the means of grace necessary for standing firm in faith. Being 'harnessed' emphasizes that believers do not venture into the world unprepared; they carry the strength and protection that comes from Christ, enabling them to face temptations and trials with confidence and reliance on God.
