19. Exodus 12:1-42 Passover
The time of the tenth plague had come and God gave very specific instructions to His people so that they would be spared. In ALL of the plagues, the Israelites were protected, while the Egyptians and their property were destroyed. The Hebrews were delivered from the final plague when they marked their houses, at God's command, by sprinkling the blood of a lamb over their doorposts. The death angel "passed over" the Hebrew houses.
This deliverance became one of the most memorable occasions in Hebrew history. The Passover is celebrated even today to commemorate their deliverance. And in this passage, we got a glimpse into the future plan of redemption for all of us, through the spotless Lamb, Jesus!
There is an amazing realization in the account of the Passover and the exodus of the Israelites; that God fulfilled every promise He had made to Moses. (Ex.3:21) That when they went, they would not go empty-handed, but that they would PLUNDER the Egyptians. They had favor in their sight and left a very rich people, carrying articles of silver and gold and the very clothing of the Egyptians. God is so incredible that He also healed EVERY SINGLE SICKNESS of the entire Hebrew nation, because it says that not ONE of them, young or old, was weak or sickly among them! They went forth on their journey in freedom and rejoicing!
