God passed over after seeing the blood

2

Bible verse : Exodus 12:23 (NIV)

When the LORD goes through the land to strike down the Egyptians,
he will see the blood on the top and sides of the doorframe and will pass over that doorway, and he will not permit the destroyer to enter your houses and strike you down.

When the LORD goes through the land to strike down the Egyptians,
he will see the blood on the top and sides of the doorframe and will pass over that doorway,
and he will not permit the destroyer to enter your houses and strike you down.

Years passed and a new dynasty ruled Egypt, unaware that Joseph had been Prime Minister of Egypt. They feared the number of Israelites.
The reason is because they were afraid that they would betray themselves.
Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, did all sorts of evil things to weaken the Israelites.

5

When an Israelite gave birth to a male child, they did a terrible thing by drowning it in the Nile River.
They also treated the Israelites like slaves. In order to weaken their strength,
they were mobilized for hard labor and forced to work in their construction sites.
The pain of the Israelites was so great that they prayed earnestly to God to let them leave Egypt.
They prayed to God to allow them to go to Canaan, where their ancestors lived.

6

God heard the prayers of the Israelites and raised Moses as the leader of Israel. Moses, who was appointed by God, went to the king of Egypt with his brother Aaron and asked for his people to be set free. However, Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, refused to listen to Moses and was stubborn.

7

God sent many plagues on the land of Egypt to force Pharaoh to surrender and let the Israelites go. God sent his first plague on Egypt, the water turning to blood.

As a second plague, he brought a plague that covered all the land of Egypt with frogs.

The third plague turned the dust of the earth into lice, afflicting people and animals.

The fourth plague caused flies to swarm the whole land. God gave grace to the        Israelites from the Paris plague. God did not allow the disaster to come upon the land of Goshen, where the Israelites lived.

8

Pharaoh, who was very distressed by the flies, promised Moses that he would go out about three days' journey from Egypt and allow the Israelites to offer sacrifices as requested by Moses.
However, he did not keep that promise after the plague of Paris was over. Because of Pharaoh's evil heart, God continued to bring disaster to the land of Egypt.

9

In the fifth plague, God sent a severe plague to the livestock and killed them all.
The sixth plague caused malignant boils on people and animals.
The seventh plague caused hailstones to fall all over the land, and the eighth plague covered the whole land with locusts. The ninth brought great darkness over all the land, and there was no daylight.
God sent plagues on Egypt nine times, but Pharaoh did not change his evil heart.

10

God decided to send the last plague, the tenth plague, to save Israel and said to Moses.
“I will go through all Egypt tonight about midnight. The eldest sons of each family will be killed, and the first born animals will also be killed. But none of the Israelites will be hurt.”
The last plague prepared by God was a disaster that killed all the firstborn of humans and animals.

11

God also told the Israelites what they had to do to protect them from this disaster. Moses told the people what God had commanded.

First, prepare a sheep for each house. Second, the lamb to be prepared must be a 

one-year-old male without blemish. Third, when you slaughter the sheep, take some of its blood and put it on the threshold and on the right and left doorposts. Fourth, eat roasted meat with bitter herbs and unleavened bread. Fifth,
hurry up and eat like a person who is about to leave, wearing all your clothes, putting on your shoes, and holding a walking stick.

12

The Israelites followed the word of God conveyed by Moses.
They slaughtered the sheep as God said. They took the blood of the lamb and put it on the threshold and on the right and left doorposts.
They dressed up to leave right away, as God had commanded, and ate roasted meat, bitter herbs, and unleavened bread evenly.

13

The tenth plague that God spoke of began that night. The Spirit of God descended upon all Egypt. The Spirit of God killed all the firstborn in the land of Egypt. However, as God commanded, the house with lamb's blood smeared on the threshold and on the right and left doorposts passed by.

14

In the tenth plague, the first son of Pharaoh who was sitting on the throne also died. Not only the first son of Pharaoh, but also the first son of the lowest rank died.
The tenth plague was not limited to humans. All the firstborn of the beast also died. Throughout the land of Egypt, the cries of families who had lost their first son did not stop.

15

Pharaoh hurriedly summoned Moses and Aaron in the middle of the night.
[During the night Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron and said, “Up! Leave my people, you and the Israelites! Go, worship the Lord as you have requested. Take your flocks and herds, as you have said, and go. And also bless me.”
[Exodus 12: 31-32]
Pharaoh completely surrendered to God that night. Only then did he realize how great God's power is.

16

That night, the Israelites hurriedly left the land of Egypt. God gave them the gold, silver, jewels, and clothes that the Egyptians had, so the Israelites set out with many precious things. That night, 600,000 of the Israelites left Egypt, who had lived for 430 years. The Israelites celebrate the Passover to commemorate the day they were saved.

17

Through the 10th plague on Egypt, the Israelites were saved from Egypt.
We have seen that only those who obeyed God's word and smeared the blood on their doorframes were saved. The salvation we received is the same as this.
We are saved because of the blood that Jesus, the Lamb, shed on the cross on our behalf. Just as the person who smeared the blood on the door frame was saved, the person who acknowledges the shed blood of Jesus and accepts Him as their savior is saved.
We must be more grateful for the grace of Jesus who gave us salvation and strive to become children of faith who strive to imitate Jesus.
