Passover
If you’re here because you’ve challenged yourself to read along with me, to read the Bible from cover to cover, in 90 days, we’re finishing our first week!
Day 5 of 90: Bible Reading Plan (Read Exodus 1-11)
You did it! You’ve already read the entire book of Genesis and we’re just half way through the first week of the year. You’re off to such a great start! So here we go, let’s jump right into Exodus!
Joseph, his brothers, and all of that generation has died but the Israelites have been exceedingly fruitful and seriously multiplied in numbers so when this new king arrives on the scene, he’s like, “Whoa nelly, this isn’t gonna fly!” He’s greatly concerned that they’ve become too numerous in the land and if that war breaks out that they’re going to rise up and join his enemies and fight against him, so the Egyptians began to work the Israelite’s to the bones! It was a great oppression! Then something super horrific happens! Pharaoh orders that every Hebrew baby boy that is born must be thrown into the Nile river, but the girls can live. What a monster.
Then one of the moms had a baby boy and hid him for a few months and then put him in a basket and placed it into the river. Pharaoh’s daughter found it and had one of her slaves retrieve it: she kept the Hebrew baby and named him Moses. A lot of stuff happens, Moses leaves, then he comes back and demands that Pharaoh let his people go; Pharaoh doesn’t. God sends the plagues down on Egypt. Moses warned them what would happen, so they knew what was going to happen, but they didn’t listen.
(The plague of blood, frogs, knats, flies, on livestock, of boils, of hail, of locusts, of darkness, plagues on the firstborn; Exodus 7:14-11:10)
Then the death angel was coming . . . God told Moses for the Israelite’s to take a lamb’s blood and paint it over their door frames (but to eat the lamb). He promised them that they were going to survive the coming of the death angel, who would cross over Egypt and take the life of every first born, but it was going to take crazy faith. (Exodus 12) He tells them how they are to dress, how they are to prepare and eat, where to paint the blood, and that they will celebrate this for generations to come and to tell their descendants (discipleship; vs. 23-27) about what He’s done for them. (There’s meat, unleavened bread, consecrating the first born; we’re skimming)
They knew they were going to have a way out, God was going to essentially rescue them, but this was going to take them through the wilderness, literally. They may not have realized how hard that was going to be. Going through the wilderness usually is hard, isn’t it? So they were been freed from slavery; from the oppression that had plagued them.
“Obey these instructions as a lasting ordinance for you and your descendants. When you enter the land that the Lord will give you as he promised, observe this ceremony. And when your children ask you, ‘What does this ceremony mean to you?’ 2then tell them, ‘It is the Passover sacrifice to the Lord, who passed over the houses of the Israelites in Egypt and spared our homes when he struck down the Egyptians.’” Then the people bowed down and worshiped. 28 The Israelites did just what the Lord commanded Moses and Aaron.” Exodus 11:24-28
