See you then!
Many people that read about the blood on the doorpost don't understand what God was doing and why He did it.
God made a law about the "first born" that must be followed. When a firstborn male was born, he must be redeemed with a ritually clean animal such as a lamb. If a donkey was born, you must redeem him with a lamb's death if you wanted to keep him. If you didn't need the donkey, you must break the neck of the donkey. God deemed a male child as an unclean animal, so every Jew had to redeem their firstborn with a lamb. God was demonstrating that He wanted to redeem the nation of Israel's firstborn with the blood of a lamb.
There was also a law for a "census tax" in Israel. You could pay the tax by donating a half shekel of silver to the Temple. That is why David counted his troops and 70,000 died that day because he didn't pay the tax. Silver symbolizes blood in Scripture so the whole Tabernacle was suspended on blocks of silver to keep it off the ground. By accepting the sacrifice of Jesus, we are redeemed by the blood of the Lamb just as Israel was redeemed and saved from the Death Angel. God always follows the law He wrote.
To be redeemed means blood must be shed to save the redeemed object. Even the land had to be redeemed in Israel.
The firstborn of Egypt had to die for the firstborn of Israel. We must die in the flesh to be born again in the Spirit to be redeemed to God. Jesus was willing to shed His blood so we could be kept alive by God because we are unclean.
Glad to see you are still here! I have several more Bible studies on YouTube now. I hope you get a chance to look at some of them.
‘This is what the LORD says: Israel is my firstborn son, and I told you, “Let my son go, so he may worship me.” But you refused to let him go; so I will kill your firstborn son.’
Exodus 4:22-23
Thanks for your informative essay.
Are they just for Leon, or may anyone watch?
Anyone can watch of course. Look under the name “Charles Gale”. I have put them in playlists under the book names. To get a head start, start watching the Spiritual Language video’s. After that watch the Leviticus 23 episodes for the Feast Day prophesies. I have Song of Songs, Joshua, and Exodus, posted after that. I’m trying to edit Genesis right now, but they are a mess. I look at the Scriptures from the Jewish point of view which some Christians resist or don’t understand.
Late to your exhibit.
Great selections
I was thinking, just today, about a time I took a red eye on Passover/Good friday..clear across the continent.
Didn’t really think much of it then.
And now, it’s something I think about at Passover every year.
And then, your posting.
Very timely to me.
Divine Providence is a wonderful comfort
Gracias for your willing mind,heart and hand, to bend, to His..
I agree. The Lawrence Alma-Tadema is extraordinarily powerful.
The Pharaoh’s face confirms the Defeat and Shock.
Thank you.
