Maybe a little off topic, but there are biblical events that will cause Israel to believe. Those are called signs too.

There are actually two events that caused Israel to believe that God sent a deliverer and free them from slavery.

The two events were first, when Aaron’s rod turns into a serpent, and then back into a rod.

The second event is when leprous flesh became clean.

Those two literal events have a Spiritual fullfillment if one accepts the biblical premise the apostle Paul brought forward- first the natural, then the spiritual.

The priesthood (pictured as Aaron’s rod of authority to be the priest) was always going to change into a serpent (Satan led priesthood)
And then the serpent would have to be changed from a Satan led serpent, back into a rod.

That is the state of the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth today. The rod became a serpent and has been for quite some time. The plan is that the serpent has to grabbed by its tail and turned back into a rod.

That’s the first sign that both Israel and pharaoh was shown.

Pharoah wasn’t shown the second sign. Pharoah was shown the first plague. He didn’t believe. He was hardened because He didn’t see the two signs Israel is to see.

Israel was shown the second sign. Flesh was turned into leprosy (representing sin) and then made clean/healed.

That second sign is detailed in the scriptures and defined as the work of ‘Glorificatiin’ when sinful, leprous flesh is ‘healed’ or changed into perfect, glorified, sinless flesh.
The same flesh Christ has.
Some may call that the rapture, the changing in the twinkling of the eye, etc, but there is a time where people who are leprous (sinful) will receive glorified immortal flesh.

Those two signs are signs that caused Israel to believe that God sent a deliverer when they were enslaved in Egypt..

The first sign hasn’t finished yet. And neither has the second sign occurred yet.
He does things in order and shows His people what is to come next.
Satan,the serpent, was given a legal right to enter the church ,the priesthood, when Satan ‘entered Judas’.
The church,the priesthood, was always going to become a serpent.
And the church, the priesthood,the serpent, has to be grabbed by its tail and turned back into a rod.

And that would be the first sign that helps Israel to believe in their deliverer.

Again,that’s if one accepts a couple premises in the bible-
1. First the natural,then the spiritual
2. He tells us the end from the beginning - repeating patterns

And maybe accept another premise that the church has represented the tree of the knowledge of good and evil as much as it has represented the tree of life, over the last about 2,000 years..
That may have been hinted at in the bible as the about 2,000 swine that had demons enter them.
About 2,000 years of Unclean swine flesh church teachings and doctrines that are illegal to touch or taste, according to His law. Eating from the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

The world and the church may see that law as natural and referencing ham,bacon, sausage.

Maybe it holds a spiritual level that isn’t perceived by the world or church yet..

Does the church see itself as a sign that causes belief to those enslaved?

Some may. Some may not. Most certainly most in the church won’t see itself as demon possessed swine or a serpent..

But that apparently was His plan all along..
For His purposes..
And His Glory!

And probably not preachable in too many places..
