Exodus Chp. 12

Aired March 28, 2011.

Introduction
In Exodus we have discussed that God is I Am That I Am.

Chp. 12
12:2    Meaning a new beginning. One is the biblical number of God (Yahweh, Allah).
12:3    Jesus (Isa) was the last human lamb or sacrifice. God is not telling men to go into their houses and kill another for a human sacrifice.
12:4    Large families, we realize that we can never have enough food do we not?  God or I Am was instructing them and informing generations to come that we should never waste food, gifts, talents, male sperm, etc. When a male empties without being in a women's vagina it is considered wasting what God has blessed.  Another example of this is if you have a family member in need then you, if able, should provide the necessities. You are considered blessed. It would be foolish to give all that you have to another.
12:7    This is an important verse.
12:11 This year the event of Passover will be in April.  Most faith events occur at sundown the evening before the actual event is to occur. 
12:12  God is going to kill the first born in Egypt.  Even though God allowed the Egyptians people to give what was needed to leave out of bondage God still punished the Egyptians for all the years of keeping them in bondage. God had hardened Pharaoh's heart so that he would not allow the Israelites to leave until the perfect time.  Think of all the years that God had heard the cries, moans, and prayers of the enslaved before he finally came down to help the people.
12:22  God is not able to stand near a human because of his energy or his presence.  He demanded the Israelites to stay inside until morning after he passed by.
12:24  This is the creation of Passover.  An event created by God.
12:35  The Egyptians, the slave masters, wanted the Israelites so bad that they gave them jewelry and clothes.  God will use your enemies to bless you.
12:37  600,000 men were mentioned because God believes in the marriage union of man of woman and woman of man.  They are considered one in his eyes.
12:41  430 years of being in slavery. The same length of time of the African slave trade.
12:44  God knew that their form of slavery would continue among each other due to human habits.  We are what we have experienced or learned beginning in child years.

The Passover feast (Sedar) included a special dinner.
