Now, the gods of Egypt always claim the firstborn of both man and beast that belong to the gods. Now, God takes theirs, that belong to them. But He's going to make a difference between the children of Israel and the Egyptians.
But the difference now is not just that there'll be no death angel passing over the land of Egypt. The death angel will pass over the land of Egypt because there's no difference in God's presence. There's no difference between Jew and Gentile, actually.
And so the thing that will make the difference, there will be now the blood of a lamb put on a doorpost. And this will be the beginning of the oldest religious holiday that there is. And it's the Passover feast.
And that Passover is one of the most eloquent portraits of the Lord Jesus that you have in the Old Testament.
