WHAT IS PASSOVER ?
The actual in-depth meaning for Passover is that the LORD passed over all of the House of Israel. The LORD GOD executed His judgment between Egypt and Israel. Many are taught that Passover symbolizes Israel being freed from the slavery of Egypt 430yrs…… Let take a look on what the bible says….
Now we must always remember that the House of Israel consist of 12 tribes of different groups of people, for God’s purpose.That the Lord does not just recognize one group of peoples. Rev 7:3-9
Trivia note: Ex 2:1 Moses was the son of a Levite family that lived in Egypt in Africa. Levi is the name of one of the12 tribes of the people of Israel. They are known as the priests.
Ex 12:5-14 For I will pass thru the land this night and smite all first born in the land man and animals and against all the gods of Egypt. I will execute Judgment: I am the LORD. And the blood shall be as a token on the houses where you are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you. ( the destroyer passed over His children) you shall keep it as a feast by ordinance forever.
So let’s recap…Ex 12:23-27 The Passover is kept as a memorial feast to the LORD to remember forever how the LORD passed over and spared those of the House of Israel.
Ex 12: 31- 38 After these events occurred, Pharaoh told Moses and Aaron to take Israel and go and serve the LORD as you requested. And bless me by leaving Egypt.
The whole purpose of them leaving Egypt was so they can go and serve the LORD. Ex7:15, 8:20
Long Winded Preaching Causes Death
This passage of Scripture puts a warm smile into my heart every time I read it.
How many people have been to church where it appears that the Minister goes on and on and on? Well, The same thing happened to a young man named Eutychus in a passage of the Bible in the book called Acts: 20:9-12.
And on the first day of the week when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart the next day. And he continued his speech until midnight.
And there were many lights in the upper chamber (a lot of people there) where they were gathered together.
And there sat in a window a certain young man named Eutychus, being fallen to sleep due to Paul’s long preaching. Eutychus sunk down with sleep, and fell out the window from the third story loft, and died.
And Paul went down and fell on him, and embracing him saying, trouble not yourselves; for his life is in him.
When life returned to Eutychus, he broke bread, and had eaten. And Paul continued to talk a long while, even til the break of day. (Dawn) And Paul departed.
And they brought the young man alive, but the people were disturbed.
