|
| What does this tie in with the holy days of Israel? | |
| Everything seemingly centers around Israel. | |
| Yes. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Well, amazing. | |
| I mean, amazing thing. | |
| You know, we're talking right now as we're recording this. | |
| It's Passover. | |
| And I mean, it's the week, you know, Passover goes for more than a week. | |
| Yeah. | |
| And the thing is, amazing thing that this plague has reached its peak during this Passover time. | |
| And what is Passover? | |
| Passover is the people of God, the people of the nation are commanded to go into their homes and stay into their homes, stay in their homes by command because a plague is passing through the land. | |
| I mean, when has this ever happened before? | |
| Only in Egypt, you know, and in Egypt, the Jewish people were commanded to stay in their homes and to a lockdown. | |
| The first lockdown was in Egypt. | |
| And because of a plague passing through the land. | |
| Well, you know, for the first time in, you know, over 3,000 years that the Jewish people were commanded by their government to be locked down in their houses. | |
| And it was during, it was on the eve of Passover. | |
| And it wasn't because it was Passover. | |
| It was because there was a plague passing over. | |
| So Benjamin Yahoo commands because during Forum, they had social events. | |
| He said, not again. | |
| So Passover, they were commanded starting with the beginning of Passover to stay in their homes because an actual plague was passing over the land. | |
| I mean, and that wasn't just, it wasn't just Israel. | |
| It was all over the entire earth. | |
| The entire earth was under a cosmic global Passover. | |
| I mean, talk about the reality of our God. | |
| Talk about the reality of the God of the Bible. | |
| The entire Passover, it was replayed. | |
| And so that tells us a lot. | |
| And I mean, you know, this is gigantic because what it tells you is what's the ultimate purpose of this? | |
| Well, what was the purpose of Passover? | |
| Why did the plague come over there? | |
| One, it was to separate God's people from the world. | |
| It was to separate the Hebrews from Egypt. | |
| So the first thing that this is doing is to separate God's people from the world. | |

|
|
| Secondly, it was to separate God's people from their attack, from the Hebrews, from their attachments to Egypt. | |
| Once they went in the house, their attachments are over. | |
| Their slavery is over. | |
| So God wants to use this to separate his people from their attachments to the world. | |
| And he separated the Hebrews from bondage. | |
| So God wants to use this to separate us from our bondages. | |
| You know, whatever that is, he wants us to be free. | |
| Why else did the Passover come? | |
| Did the plague come on the land? | |
| To awaken his people and to remind them that they were not home in Egypt. | |
| Their kingdom was another kingdom. | |
| Their kingdom was the promised land. | |
| So this is to remind us also, we are not of this world. | |
| We are not at home in this world. | |
| We are of a better kingdom. | |
| And why else did the plague pass over the land? | |
| It was to emphasize the power of the blood of the lamb, that the blood of the lamb is more powerful than the plague of the world. | |
| So what's he telling us as God's people? | |
| That the blood of the lamb, the blood of Messiah, is more powerful than the plague of the world. | |
| And your thing is you just want to be in under that blood. | |
| You want to make sure you're under in the kingdom. | |
| You are in your house right now, just like Passover. | |
| A plague is passing over the lamb of the land, but you've got the blood of the lamb in your life. | |
| And so as long as you're in his will, along you're in him, you don't have to fear any evil. | |
| I will fear no evil. | |
| Even though the plague passes over, I will not fear it. | |
| I will not fear the plague by night or by day because I am in the blood of the lamb. | |
| And the other thing is, what did Passover do? | |
| What did that plague do? | |
| It caused the people of God to rise up, be free of the world, be free of Egypt, be free of their chains, and become from a slave people, become the royal priesthood of God, and start going home, entering the promised land, the promises of God. | |
| So God wants to use this. | |
| People are saying, you know, the main thing is just the plague stops. | |
| No, it's not. | |
| The main thing is that God's purposes be accomplished for the world, for revival, and also for his people. | |
| And the other thing is, what happened in Passover? | |
| People rushed to be under the blood of the Lamb. | |
