Pharaoh continued to harden his heart throughout the contests between the gods of Egypt and Jehovah, the Great I Am. Pharaoh continued to ask Israel to compromise, but Moses and Aaron refused to compromise, and Pharaoh continued to harden his heart against God.

God had given the Egyptians many warnings and many opportunities to recognize the power and preeminence of God, but they would not be changed. Finally, a day of judgment was given, and the final plague was to be released in the land of Egypt -- the death of the firstborn in every house in Egypt.

But God also gave a provision for them to be saved. If anyone would take the blood of a lamb and place it on the doorposts and lintel of their house, they would be saved from God’s judgment against Egypt. It would take faith to believe in God’s provision, but if they would believe and do as God instructed them to do, they would be saved, whether they were Hebrews or Egyptians.

This event would be remembered by the keeping of the Passover which God instructed them to keep each year at the first month of the Jewish year. Passover was kept so they could look back at God saving them from their slavery in Egypt.

But it’s also prophetic. It looks forward to the coming of the Son of Man, Jesus, who was the fulfillment of the Passover. He is the Lamb of God and His blood is the blood that must be applied to anyone who believes God for freedom from condemnation and the gift of eternal life.

I. The Lamb is God’s Provision

 God had warned the Egyptians as well as the Hebrews that He was going to bring about a great plague, the death of the first born, but He made a provision so that anyone who listened to God would be saved.

 They were to take a lamb and kill it and then apply the blood of the lamb to the doorposts and the lintel of the house.

 The death of the lamb would be God’s provision so that the angel of death that would go throughout Egypt would “Pass over” their house but would visit every house and bring death to the firstborn if they did not apply the blood of a lamb as God instructed them to do.



A. Mark your calendar by this date

 This was such a significant event in the history of Israel that they were to mark their calendars by it.
 The first month of the Jewish year was the commemoration of Passover. The name, Nisan, was given to it later.
 Later in Jewish history, however, the new year (called Rosh Hashanah), was celebrated at the beginning of the seventh month of the Jewish calendar.
 There are many other interesting aspects of the Jewish calendar. They use lunar months and will occasionally add a 13th month (leap year) so that Nisan always comes in the spring after the barley harvest.
 One of the greatest prophetic pictures from these verses, however, is that Jesus is the Lamb of God.
