  Exodus chapter 12 Let us pray our Lord, our King, our boss and
• 0:12
  our everything. You are the only uncreated.
• 0:19
  You're the only one worthy of all adoration and praise.
• 0:25
  Lord, we laid down every lesser lover.
• 0:28
  We completely demolish and destroy everything that's trying
• 0:36
  to vie for our attention. God, we set our eyes upon You,
• 0:43
  the Maker of heaven and earth, where our help comes from.
• 0:48
  God, you're inescapable. God, you are the very breath
• 0:56
  inside of our lungs. You give the heartbeat inside of
• 1:04
  our chest. You give us the ability to
• 1:07
  reason and to think and to choose.
• 1:11
  So God, we choose you today over money.
• 1:19
  God, we choose you today over vanity.
• 1:25
  God, we choose you today over reputation.
• 1:32
  God, we choose you today over pride and offense, hurt
• 1:37
  feelings. God, we choose you today over
• 1:40
  our own life. We choose you today over our
• 1:43
  loved ones. God, we choose you today over
• 1:46
  the American dream. God, we choose you today over
• 1:51
  safety. God, we choose you today over
• 1:55
  our own intellect. We choose you today, God, over
• 1:58
  our abilities. God would choose you today over
• 2:02
  creation. It is you and it is you, and it
• 2:10
  is you alone who deserve all adoration and all of our
• 2:15
  affection. Father, we only want you, We
• 2:19
  only desire you. We only want to see you.
• 2:23
  God, help us to stay in this place.
• 2:25
  Help us to not leave the Shekinah glory.
• 2:28
  God of the throne room. Father, I pray that we can
• 2:32
  remain in the holiest of holy places and everywhere that we
• 2:36
  go, God will be holy ground. Everywhere that our footsteps,
• 2:40
  God is holy ground. Help us to take your word to the
• 2:44
  whole world. Help us not to sit on the
• 2:46
  sidelines and grow complacent, Lord, and develop this critical
• 2:52
  spirit God that criticizes everything and breaks everybody
• 2:56
  down because it is our own defect, God, it is our own
• 3:01
  demise. It is our own idiosyncrasies,
• 3:05
  Gods, it's our own fault that we did not grow in you and obey
• 3:09
  you, Father. So Lord, give us the strength to
• 3:12
  step out in faith. Give us the strength, God, to
• 3:14
  take the next step of obedience. God, I pray that you'll
• 3:18
  highlight in our lives, Holy Spirit, speak to us mightily and
• 3:22
  boldly. God, give us our marching
• 3:24
  orders. Help us to have the strength to
• 3:26
  step out, Father, and to actually obey and to do the
• 3:30
  things that you've called us to and to speak the truth and love
• 3:33
  God, and to preach the word in season and out of season and to
• 3:37
  do the work of an evangelist. God, I pray, Lord, that we'll be
• 3:41
  plan A will be the answer, God, to this wicked and dark and
• 3:46
  perverse and dying world all around us.
• 3:49
  God that's steeped in idolatry, Father, I pray God to break off
• 3:54
  the spirit of perversion from off of this world.
• 3:57
  Break off the spirit of vanity, God, break off all the demonic
• 4:04
  entities, God that are railing and trying to come against us.
• 4:07
  We put on the full armor of God today, Lord.
• 4:14
  We step in to the shoes, the gospel of peace.
• 4:18
  We run the race today, Father, Lord, we put on that breastplate
• 4:24
  of righteousness, God, our sinfulness in exchange for your
• 4:30
  righteousness. God, we are in right standing
• 4:33
  with you because of Christ. Lord, help us to put on the belt
• 4:37
  of truth, to stand on the truth, for He is the truth.
• 4:40
  God, everything is hinged upon the truth.
• 4:43
  And so, God, we do not attach ourselves to the Father of lies,
• 4:48
  God, we tell the truth, we stand on truth.
• 4:51
  He is the truth, Jesus Christ. Lord, we put on the helmet of
• 4:57
  our salvation. We remember our testimony, God.
• 5:00
  We remember how far you've taken us from the pit of despair, God,
• 5:04
  to the heights of your glory, Lord.
• 5:08
  We pick up this shield of faith, God, we step out into the void
• 5:15
  knowing that you'll catch us, Lord, we believe every word,
• 5:19
  regardless of our own common sense, regardless of what the
• 5:24
  world is screaming at us, God, we believe your word as it's
• 5:28
  true, and it is the supreme authority over our lives, God.
• 5:33
  We take up the sword today, the word today, God, and we do war
• 5:40
  with it. We rightly divide the word of
• 5:43
  God, knowing Lord, that all your promises are yes and Amen.
• 5:47
  And it is and, and, or, and it is exactly what it says.
• 5:51
  And when it says this over here, God, we believe it.
• 5:54
  And when it says this over here, God, we believe it.
• 5:57
  And Lord, we just help that you'll blend the two and help us
• 6:01
  to have sound doctrine and sound theology in the mighty name of
• 6:05
  Jesus. We love you, King Jesus.
• 6:08
  It's in your precious and powerful name that I pray.
• 6:12
  Amen. Let's start in verse one.
• 6:20
  And the Lord spoke unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt
• 6:24
  saying, so you're going to need to know that there's a lot of
• 6:28
  different events happening here in this long chapter of 12 in
• 6:34
  the book of Exodus. God is taking us back to a time.
• 6:39
  And the reason that Chapter 11 flowed right from chapter 10 is
• 6:44
  because God wanted everything to be congruent when he was
• 6:48
  breathing this all. But you need to know that as
• 6:50
  we're reading 12, he's going to be talking about setting a new
• 6:54
  time for Israel to follow. Everything changes.
• 6:58
  This is the cross for them. This is their huge masterpiece
• 7:03
  that God was painting. And just like for us, we see it
• 7:07
  in marriage and for the 1st century it was in the cross and
• 7:11
  then for here the Israelites, it was in the leading out of Egypt.
• 7:15
  And so God is showing us mighty things throughout his Scripture.
• 7:21
  And here you need to know in verse 12, we're going to flow
• 7:24
  through a different a few different time frames.
• 7:27
  Let's keep moving verse 2. This month shall be unto you the
• 7:32
  beginning of months. It shall be the first month of
• 7:35
  the year to you. So everything changes.
• 7:37
  This is like AD. This is like when everything
• 7:43
  went from BC to AD. This was for them the beginning
• 7:47
  of their entire year was marked from their exodus out of Egypt.
• 7:52
  Verse 3. Speak you unto the congregation
• 7:54
  of Israel, saying, in the 10th day of this month, shall you
• 7:58
  take to them every man a lamb according to the House of their
• 8:02
  fathers, a lamb for a house. So here what God wanted them to
• 8:06
  do was mark off from the first day to the 10th and then on the
• 8:10
  10th day to go and find, find a lamb or a goat without blemish,
• 8:15
  and to bring it in and to actually allow it to become part
• 8:21
  of the family for and for the household.
• 8:25
  Be too little for the lamb. Let him and his neighbor next to
• 8:28
  his house take it according to the number of the souls.
• 8:32
  Every man according to his eating, shall make you account
• 8:35
  for the lamb. So it could be no less than 10,
• 8:42
  but no more than 20, and we'll find that out as time goes on.
• 8:46
  Five, your lamb shall be without blemish a male for the first
• 8:50
  year. You shall take it from the sheep
• 8:52
  or from the goat. So Jesus Christ, he is the Lamb
• 8:57
  of God, but he's also the scapegoat that takes away all of
• 9:02
  our sins. And he was crucified outside of
• 9:06
  the camp, friends. And you can see that he fulfills
• 9:10
  both the lamb or the goat, and there's a lot of goats that are
• 9:15
  intermingled in with the lambs and God's businesses to separate
• 9:19
  the sheep from the goats. 6 And you shall keep it up until the
• 9:24
  14th day of the same month, and the whole assembly of the
• 9:28
  congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening.
• 9:31
  So this little lamb was to become part of the family.
• 9:36
  For four days it lived with them, and then on the 14th day
• 9:41
  it was to be slain. 7 And they shall take of the blood and
• 9:47
  strike it on the two side posts, and on the upper door post of
• 9:51
  the houses, wherein they shall eat it.
• 9:54
  So here this was the covering of the blood on the doorpost, that
• 9:57
  would cause the destroying Angel to Passover. 8 And they shall
• 10:02
  eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, unleavened
• 10:07
  bread with bitter herbs, they shall eat it.
• 10:10
  So here the blood was sacrificed unto God, the people got to eat
• 10:15
  of the meat brands and they ate it with unleavened bread,
• 10:20
  because we know that the leaven, the yeast is like sin.
• 10:24
  And it was also a reset for all the bacterial growth, that if
• 10:31
  they would do this, they would not get sick.
• 10:33
  And God has a multifaceted dimension to his knowledge,
• 10:39
  friends. This is a manifold wisdom of God
• 10:43
  that comes upon them. And it always means so many
• 10:46
  different things. It's not just one application
• 10:49
  for the simple minded person. They want to argue about all the
• 10:52
  little things about God. But you need to know that God
• 10:56
  can do so many different things all at once.
• 10:59
  And it means so many different things, friends.
• 11:01
  And that is the knowledge of God.
• 11:04
  It's unparalleled. Anything that the human mind can
• 11:07
  even try to begin to imagine eight, they shall eat the flesh
• 11:17
  that night. So here you can see that they're
• 11:20
  roasting it with fire. It's not to be boiled, friends.
• 11:24
  It's not to be eaten raw. And these bitter herbs, this is
• 11:28
  like whenever they offered the gall unto Jesus, they were
• 11:31
  trying to offer the hyssop and the bitter herbs.
• 11:35
  And you can see that his following after Jesus is like
• 11:41
  honey in the mouth, but it goes down and it's bitter in the
• 11:45
  stomach because you can finally see the chasm between His
• 11:50
  Holiness and our sinfulness. And that is the bitterness of
• 11:54
  it, friends, is that God's ways are not our ways.
• 11:58
  They're so much higher than our thoughts and so much higher than
• 12:02
  our ways, and if we were God, we would do it a completely
• 12:05
  different way. But thank God we're not him,
• 12:08
  because his wisdom is so much greater than ours. 9 Eat not of
• 12:16
  it raw nor sodden at all with water, but roast with fire his
• 12:21
  head and his legs, and with the pertinence of it.
• 12:24
  So everything was to be roasted, the organs, everything.
• 12:28
  They were not to break any of the bones, they were to roast
• 12:31
  the whole thing. Friends, tan.
• 12:37
  And you shall let nothing of it remain until the morning, and
• 12:40
  that which remains of it until the morning, you shall burn with
• 12:43
  fire. So that they could not eat the
• 12:45
  entire thing, they were to take all of the inedible parts and
• 12:50
  completely burn it with fire, not to try to keep any of it
• 12:54
  over. Franz.
• 12:55
  And this is all pointing towards Jesus Christ on the cross.
• 13:00
  Every bit of this is pointing towards Jesus Christ on the
• 13:04
  cross. And he was actually slain at the
• 13:06
  exact moment of the ceremonial observance of the Passover.
• 13:14
  And that is the wisdom of God. And God knows what he's doing.
• 13:18
  And he points us towards Jesus. Everything in the Bible, from
• 13:22
  Genesis to Revelation, everything in the Bible points
• 13:26
  to Jesus Christ. Every single syllable, every jot
• 13:31
  and every title, it's all Jesus Christ.
• 13:35
  We eat it, friends. We munch it, friends.
• 13:38
  It's a scroll that's rolled up, that is sweet as honey in our
• 13:42
  mouth, but bitter in our stomach. 11 And thus shall you
• 13:49
  eat it with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, your
• 13:53
  staff in your hand. You shall eat it in haste.
• 13:56
  It is the Lord's Passover. So they were to take their robe
• 14:00
  and to tuck it into their belt so that they'd be ready to go,
• 14:03
  Friends, because God was about to do an amazing thing in the
• 14:07
  land and all the first born of the Egyptians were going to be
• 14:11
  slain. And there was not one house told
• 14:13
  that was safe that did not have the blood covering it.
• 14:17
  Friends, if you had the blood on the House, you were safe.
• 14:20
  But that is the same for us to day.
• 14:22
  We must be covered in the blood of Jesus Christ if we want Him
• 14:26
  to pass over us in the day of judgment.
• 14:29
  Get in the boat, friends. 12 For I will pass through the land of
• 14:34
  Egypt this night, and will strike all the first born in the
• 14:37
  land of Egypt, both man and beast, and against all the gods
• 14:42
  of Egypt. I will execute judgment.
• 14:44
  I am the Lord. That's the whole point of the
• 14:46
  whole matter, of the whole crux of the whole situation is that
• 14:50
  God was upending all of their idol worship.
• 14:53
  He was proving to Pharaoh that all of his worship of the
• 14:58
  pantheon of lowercase G gods was nothing but idol worship and
• 15:03
  garbage. And there was only one true
• 15:05
  living God who is able to do all these miracles.
• 15:10
  Every other God is an idol that cannot see, that cannot hear.
• 15:15
  There's only one true living God.
• 15:17
  It is Yahweh everlasting. 13 And the blood shall be to you for a
• 15:24
  token upon the houses where you are.
• 15:27
  And when I see the blood, I will Passover you, and the plague
• 15:31
  shall not be upon you to destroy you when I strike the land of
• 15:36
  Egypt. So that is the precursor, and it
• 15:38
  points towards the cross of Christ, and it points towards
• 15:42
  today that we must be covered in the blood for the destroying
• 15:46
  Angel to Passover us in the day of judgment. 14 And this day
• 15:52
  shall be unto you for a memorial, and you shall keep it
• 15:55
  a feast to the Lord throughout your generations.
• 15:59
  You shall keep it a feast by an ordinance forever.
• 16:03
  So here we're getting to see that God had a great plan and
• 16:07
  all of this. This is not haphazard planning
• 16:11
  on God's part. God had it in his mind before
• 16:14
  the foundations of the world, before Adam even sinned.
• 16:18
  God had it in his mind of how how he would redeem sinful
• 16:22
  mankind. Friends, nothing is missed upon
• 16:25
  God. He sees the beginning from the
• 16:28
  end. He already knows who's going to
• 16:29
  be there in the end. And that is why he sends these
• 16:33
  angels to protect those that will inherit eternal life.
• 16:37
  And that is why so many are grasping at straws trying to
• 16:41
  figure out how to win favor of God, but they cannot.
• 16:44
  Friends, God knows who's going to be offended and fall away,
• 16:48
  and God knows who's going to put down the syringe and fall to
• 16:52
  their knees and give him all due honor and glory and praise.
• 16:57
  Friends. And it is not for us to try to
• 16:59
  figure out who are His and who are not.
• 17:03
  We give the gospel to every man, woman and child, regardless of
• 17:08
  nationality, regardless of creed, regardless of language or
• 17:12
  tongue, regardless of any of our presuppositions, regardless of
• 17:20
  any of our thoughts. It's all about God.
• 17:25
  It's not about us. 15-7 days Shall you eat unleavened bread?
• 17:36
  Even the first day shall you put away leaven out of your houses?
• 17:40
  For whosoever eats leavened bread from the first day until
• 17:43
  the 7th day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel.
• 17:48
  So we saw that on the 10th day they were to go and get the lamb
• 17:52
  that was spotless for four days. It was to be with them on the
• 17:56
  14th day. They were to slay it and to put
• 17:59
  his blood on the doorpost, and to eat the whole thing.
• 18:03
  And then for seven more days they were only to eat unleavened
• 18:08
  bread. This would be like crackers.
• 18:11
  Friends. 16 And then the first day there shall be a holy
• 18:20
  convocation, and in the 7th day there shall be a holy
• 18:24
  convocation to you. No manner of work shall be done
• 18:28
  in them, except that which every man must eat, that only may be
• 18:32
  done of you. So he's saying the only thing
• 18:34
  that you are allowed to do is to prepare the meal. 17 And you
• 18:39
  shall observe the feast of unleavened bread.
• 18:42
  For in this self same day I have brought your armies out of the
• 18:45
  land of Egypt. Therefore shall you observe this
• 18:49
  day and your generations by an ordinance forever.
• 18:52
  So this was to be passed on to their children and their
• 18:55
  children's children and their children's children's children.
• 18:58
  Friends, that is the whole idea of the whole matter here, that
• 19:02
  God wants us to be a generational blessing and a
• 19:05
  story that is is going to be passed down for all times sake,
• 19:09
  and we're going to be talking about it in all of eternity
• 19:12
  forever, friends. And it all pointed to Jesus
• 19:16
  Christ. 18 In the first month, on the 14th day of the month, at
• 19:22
  evening, you shall eat unleavened bread until the 21st
• 19:26
  day of the month at evening. 19 seven days shall there be no
• 19:31
  leaven found in your houses. For whosoever eats that which is
• 19:35
  leaven, even that soul shall be cut off from the congregation of
• 19:39
  Israel, whether he be a stranger or born in the land.
• 19:43
  So you did not need to necessarily be a Jew in order to
• 19:47
  participate in this Passover and for you to be passed over.
• 19:54
  And it's still the same today, friends.
• 19:57
  That is where so many people are so limited in their intellect,
• 20:02
  is that when you say that God's people, His chosen people, his
• 20:07
  first born, are the Jews, they are incensed against you.
• 20:12
  Because they want this replacement theology where the
• 20:16
  church somehow absorbs all the promises of the Jews.
• 20:19
  But it's not that way, friends. You can see that the promises of
• 20:23
  the Jews are for all. It is not just for the Jews, but
• 20:30
  it does not put the Jews out of place.
• 20:33
  It does not mean that God has turned his back upon the Jews.
• 20:38
  And this is hard for so many people who have a limited
• 20:41
  intellect and they just want to see things the way that they
• 20:45
  want to see them, and they want to side with the world.
• 20:48
  And they don't want to be found trying to stand with the Jews
• 20:51
  because it means sudden persecution upon them.
• 20:55
  And so they're trying, trying their best to figure out a way
• 20:58
  to be saved, but not to have to stand with God's holy people.
• 21:02
  And it never works that way, friends.
• 21:04
  We will be blessed if we will stand with them, friends,
• 21:07
  regardless of the persecution that comes our way. 20 You shall
• 21:17
  eat nothing leavened in all your habitation.
• 21:19
  Shall you eat unleavened bread? So we know that the leaven is
• 21:23
  the yeast and the yeast is the sin.
• 21:25
  And God knows that He had to protect them, friends, from the
• 21:31
  sinfulness of the world, and He had to protect them from all the
• 21:35
  bacterial growth in the through. He had to protect them from the
• 21:39
  leaven of the Pharisees that get in, and a little bit works in
• 21:43
  the lump, and the entire lump is spoiled. 21 Then Moses called
• 21:49
  for all the elders of Israel, and said to them, Draw out and
• 21:54
  take you a lamb according to your families, and kill the
• 21:57
  Passover. 22 And you shall take a bunch of hissop and dip it in
• 22:03
  the blood that is in the basin, and strike the lentil in the two
• 22:07
  side posts with the blood that is in the basin.
• 22:10
  And none of you shall go out at the door of his house until the
• 22:14
  morning. So Moses has bossed up on him
• 22:17
  and he's told him exactly what to do.
• 22:19
  And the people have to make a decision if they're going to
• 22:22
  listen to Moses, they're going to believe him, if they're
• 22:25
  actually going to do the things that Moses is telling them, God
• 22:28
  told him to tell them to do. And we see this hyssop, friends,
• 22:34
  and we know that the hyssop is in connection with the
• 22:37
  purification, friends. 23 of the Lord will pass through to strike
• 22:44
  the Egyptians when He sees the blood upon the lentil and upon
• 22:47
  the two side posts. The Lord will pass over the
• 22:50
  door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your
• 22:55
  houses to strike you. And it's the same for us,
• 22:58
  friends. This symbolic cross that was
• 23:01
  painted on the doorpost is the cross of Christ.
• 23:05
  And if we will get up underneath the blood of Jesus Christ, we
• 23:10
  will be passed over as well in the day of destruction. 24 And
• 23:18
  you shall observe this thing for an ordinance to you and to your
• 23:21
  sons forever, forever and ever, and ever, and ever and ever and
• 23:27
  ever. Friends, we will be celebrating
• 23:30
  the Lamb in the Passover. 25 And it shall come to pass when you
• 23:35
  be come to the land, which the Lord will give you, according as
• 23:39
  he has promised, that you shall keep this service. 26 And it
• 23:43
  shall come to pass, when your children shall say to you, What
• 23:50
  do you mean by the service? 27 That you shall say it is the
• 23:55
  sacrifice of the Lords Passover, who passed over the houses of
• 23:59
  the children of Israel in Egypt, when he struck the Egyptians and
• 24:03
  delivered our houses, and the people bowed the head and
• 24:06
  worshipped. That is our appropriate response
• 24:11
  when God's judgment comes upon a land, when God saves his people,
• 24:16
  as we bow our heads in reverence and we worship him and we thank
• 24:21
  him, and we say Hallelujah Hosanna in the highest, that our
• 24:27
  God is greater than any of the calamities in this world, and
• 24:32
  that He knows how to put his people in the right place at the
• 24:35
  right time. Friends 28 And the children of
• 24:39
  Israel went away and did as the Lord had commanded Moses and
• 24:43
  Aaron, and so did they. This is the greatest miracle in
• 24:47
  the entire chapter, Friends, is that the people actually obeyed
• 24:51
  the words of Moses that came from the Word of God. 29 And it
• 24:56
  came to pass that at midnight the Lord struck all the first
• 25:00
  born in the land of Egypt, from the first born of Pharaoh that
• 25:03
  sat on the throne, into the first born of the captive that
• 25:06
  was in the dungeon, and the first born of the cattle.
• 25:09
  So God made good on his word, and he told him exactly what was
• 25:12
  going to happen, and that's exactly what happened. 30 And
• 25:16
  Pharaoh rose up in the night, he and those servants and the
• 25:19
  Egyptians, and there was a great cry in Egypt.
• 25:24
  So there was not a house where there was not one dead.
• 25:27
  Think about it, friends, what a scene as you see the first born
• 25:36
  of every Egyptian house, from the cattle all the way up to the
• 25:40
  king dead. This would have been one of the
• 25:53
  most sad times for the Egyptians, who thought of
• 26:02
  themselves as descended from gods, thought of themselves
• 26:07
  untouchable, thought of themselves as a super race.
• 26:12
  And here they're brought low and they have to wrestle with the
• 26:16
  fact that God is more powerful than that.
• 26:21
  God actually makes good on what He says He's going to do, and
• 26:25
  it's no different for us, friends.
• 26:27
  When we read the Bible and God tells us how it's going to go,
• 26:31
  we apply it and we believe it, no matter if it makes sense or
• 26:36
  not, no matter if it defies logic and defies physics.
• 26:41
  We believe every word, every syllable, friends, and we apply
• 26:46
  it to our lives as if it is actual and factual and already
• 26:51
  done. 31 Any call from Moses and Aaron by night said, Rise up,
• 27:01
  get you forth from among my people, both you and your
• 27:04
  children of Israel, and go and serve the Lord as you have said.
• 27:10
  So here Pharaoh has finally had enough.
• 27:13
  He realizes that he's been beat 32 also.
• 27:20
  Take your flocks, your herds, as you have said, and be gone, and
• 27:25
  bless me also. So we remember a time when Jacob
• 27:30
  came down into Egypt and he blessed the Pharaoh, and the
• 27:34
  Pharaoh accepted it. Now look how these bookends as
• 27:40
  Israel is leaving, the Pharaoh is asking for a blessing from
• 27:43
  Yahweh. 33 And the Egyptians were urgent upon the people,
• 27:50
  that they might send them out of the land in haste, for they said
• 27:54
  we'd be all dead men. So they realized there was no
• 27:59
  getting out of this one. It was over. 4 They were cooked.
• 28:05
  34 And the people took their dough before it was leavened,
• 28:10
  and they're kneading troughs, being bound upon their
• 28:13
  shoulders, upon in their clothes, upon their shoulders.
• 28:16
  35 And the children of Israel did according to the word of
• 28:20
  Moses, and they borrowed of the Egyptians jewels of silver,
• 28:24
  jewels of gold, and clothing. 36 And the Lord gave the people
• 28:28
  favor in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they lent
• 28:32
  unto them such things as they required, and they spoiled the
• 28:36
  Egyptians. These are the very articles that
• 28:39
  were used in the temple. These were the very articles
• 28:45
  used in the construction of God's holy habitation.
• 28:55
  Look at how God is already preparing them for his place of
• 29:01
  worship. 37 And the children of Israel journeyed from Ramses to
• 29:07
  Sukkah about 600,000 on foot that were men besides children.
• 29:13
  So you can see that they were going to this place of setting
• 29:16
  up tents and you can see that just the men numbered the
• 29:21
  600,000, which puts the number somewhere around 2 million
• 29:27
  complete bodies there, 38. And a mixed multitude went up
• 29:33
  also with them and flocks and herds, even very much cattle.
• 29:37
  So it wasn't just the Jews, but also the Gentiles were allowed
• 29:42
  to follow, but they must be circumcised. 39 And they baked
• 29:49
  unleavened cakes of the dough which they brought forth out of
• 29:52
  Egypt. For it was not leaven, because
• 29:54
  they were thrust out of Egypt and could not tarry.
• 29:57
  Neither had they prepared for themselves any victual.
• 30:00
  So they had not prepared for themselves a survival pack, and
• 30:06
  here they were forced to just eat nothing but this unleavened
• 30:10
  bread. 40 Now pilgrimage of the children of Israel who dwelt in
• 30:17
  Egypt was 430 years. 41 And it came to pass at the end of the
• 30:22
  430 years, even the exact day it came to pass, that all the hosts
• 30:29
  of the Lord went out from the land of Egypt.
• 30:31
  So God had a, an exact date in mind that he was going to lead
• 30:37
  them out. And He is the one orchestrating
• 30:40
  it all. And he speaks to us on specific
• 30:44
  days. And He uses the moon, He uses
• 30:48
  the stars, He uses all of the numbers.
• 30:51
  God is a God who is multifaceted in the way that he speaks to us.
• 30:58
  And he can speak to us in so many different ways.
• 31:01
  But you can see here on the anniversary of the exact day of
• 31:07
  them coming into Egypt, on that exact day they left, what an
• 31:11
  amazing God we serve. 42 It is a knight to be much observed unto
• 31:23
  the Lord for bringing them out in the land of Egypt.
• 31:27
  This is that knight of the Lord to be observed of all the
• 31:31
  generations of Israel in their generations.
• 31:36
  And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, This is an ordinance of
• 31:40
  the Passover. There shall be no stranger
• 31:43
  thereof. The eats. 44 every manservant
• 31:48
  that is bought for money, when you have circumcised him, then
• 31:53
  shall he eat of it. So in order to take part in the
• 31:59
  Passover, they had to be circumcised, even if they were
• 32:03
  not a Jew. Our circumcision is of the
• 32:07
  heart, friends. It is not a physical
• 32:10
  circumcision. It is the cutting of the
• 32:13
  foreskin off of your heart and heart, and God giving you a new
• 32:17
  heart, friends, and that is the circumcision for us in the New
• 32:23
  Testament. 45-A foreigner and a hired servant shall not eat of
• 32:29
  it. 46 In the one house shall it be eaten, and you shall not
• 32:33
  carry forth all of the flesh abroad out of the house, neither
• 32:38
  shall you break a bone of it. So he's telling them, do not
• 32:42
  take the lamb out of the house, and do not break a single bone.
• 32:46
  And this is all pointing towards Jesus Christ. 47 All the
• 32:50
  congregation of Israel shall keep it. 48 And when a stranger
• 32:54
  shall sojourn with you, and will keep the Passover to the Lord,
• 33:00
  let all his males be circumcised, and then let him
• 33:03
  come near and keep it. And he shall be as one that is
• 33:07
  born in the land of for no uncircumcised person shall eat
• 33:11
  of it. Your heart must be circumcised
• 33:15
  in order for you to take part in the Passover of the Lord Jesus
• 33:19
  Christ. And when you come to him
• 33:21
  earnestly and honestly, and when you give up all of your own
• 33:25
  rights and you give him full control, he will circumcise your
• 33:29
  heart, and he will cover you in his blood, and you will be
• 33:32
  passed over. 49 One law shall be to him that is homeborn, and
• 33:39
  unto the stranger that sojourns among you. 50 This did the
• 33:44
  children, all the children of Israel.
• 33:46
  As the Lord commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.
• 33:50
  We'll end on 51 And it came to pass the self same day that the
• 33:54
  Lord did bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt
• 33:57
  by their armies. This was the most miraculous
• 34:02
  thing that Israel had ever been a part of.
• 34:08
  And this will stand as their crucifixion for us as we look
• 34:17
  back to it. They would have looked back to
• 34:19
  this. They would have looked back to
• 34:22
  them leading, being set free out of bondage and being LED out of
• 34:26
  Egypt. And God had a big plan to send
• 34:30
  them down there so they'd multiply and become a great
• 34:33
  nation. And God has a great plan for us
• 34:36
  with the cross of Christ. And now everything is pointing
• 34:42
  towards marriage. Friends, you need to understand
• 34:47
  that a husband and a wife today is the great masterpiece that
• 34:52
  God is painting just as much as He painted it with the Passover.
• 34:58
  You need to know that a husband and a wife is is the church and
• 35:03
  the groom, the bride and the groom friends, the church and
• 35:08
  Jesus. You need to know that there's
• 35:11
  coming a day where we're going to be part of this marriage
• 35:14
  where the groom comes back to get his bride.
• 35:16
  And that is why marriage is under attack today.
• 35:20
  It's the masterpiece that God is painting and we'll finally get
• 35:25
  to see it all come to fruition eventually.
• 35:29
  I hope you've been blessed by this amazing chapter in God's
• 35:32
  Word. I know I sure have.
• 35:35
  I'm praying for every single one of you.
• 35:37
  I love you. See you back here tomorrow.
• 35:40
  God bless you.
