=== Passover Plague Commandments (02:28) ===

[00:00:00]  What does this tie in with the holy days of Israel?
[00:00:03]  Everything seemingly centers around Israel.
[00:00:07]  Yes.
[00:00:07]  Yeah.
[00:00:08]  Well, amazing.
[00:00:09]  I mean, amazing thing.
[00:00:10]  You know, we're talking right now as we're recording this.
[00:00:13]  It's Passover.
[00:00:14]  And I mean, it's the week, you know, Passover goes for more than a week.
[00:00:17]  Yeah.
[00:00:18]  And the thing is, amazing thing that this plague has reached its peak during this Passover time.
[00:00:24]  And what is Passover?
[00:00:26]  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.
[00:00:43]  I mean, when has this ever happened before?
[00:00:46]  Only in Egypt, you know, and in Egypt, the Jewish people were commanded to stay in their homes and to a lockdown.
[00:00:54]  The first lockdown was in Egypt.
[00:00:57]  And because of a plague passing through the land.
[00:01:00]  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.
[00:01:14]  And it was during, it was on the eve of Passover.
[00:01:17]  And it wasn't because it was Passover.
[00:01:18]  It was because there was a plague passing over.
[00:01:20]  So Benjamin Yahoo commands because during Forum, they had social events.
[00:01:25]  He said, not again.
[00:01:26]  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.
[00:01:34]  I mean, and that wasn't just, it wasn't just Israel.
[00:01:37]  It was all over the entire earth.
[00:01:38]  The entire earth was under a cosmic global Passover.
[00:01:44]  I mean, talk about the reality of our God.
[00:01:46]  Talk about the reality of the God of the Bible.
[00:01:49]  The entire Passover, it was replayed.
[00:01:52]  And so that tells us a lot.
[00:01:54]  And I mean, you know, this is gigantic because what it tells you is what's the ultimate purpose of this?
[00:02:00]  Well, what was the purpose of Passover?
[00:02:02]  Why did the plague come over there?
[00:02:05]  One, it was to separate God's people from the world.
[00:02:09]  It was to separate the Hebrews from Egypt.
[00:02:12]  So the first thing that this is doing is to separate God's people from the world.

=== Blood of the Lamb (02:21) ===

[00:02:16]  Secondly, it was to separate God's people from their attack, from the Hebrews, from their attachments to Egypt.
[00:02:24]  Once they went in the house, their attachments are over.
[00:02:27]  Their slavery is over.
[00:02:28]  So God wants to use this to separate his people from their attachments to the world.
[00:02:35]  And he separated the Hebrews from bondage.
[00:02:37]  So God wants to use this to separate us from our bondages.
[00:02:42]  You know, whatever that is, he wants us to be free.
[00:02:45]  Why else did the Passover come?
[00:02:47]  Did the plague come on the land?
[00:02:49]  To awaken his people and to remind them that they were not home in Egypt.
[00:02:55]  Their kingdom was another kingdom.
[00:02:57]  Their kingdom was the promised land.
[00:02:59]  So this is to remind us also, we are not of this world.
[00:03:01]  We are not at home in this world.
[00:03:03]  We are of a better kingdom.
[00:03:05]  And why else did the plague pass over the land?
[00:03:09]  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.
[00:03:21]  So what's he telling us as God's people?
[00:03:24]  That the blood of the lamb, the blood of Messiah, is more powerful than the plague of the world.
[00:03:30]  And your thing is you just want to be in under that blood.
[00:03:33]  You want to make sure you're under in the kingdom.
[00:03:35]  You are in your house right now, just like Passover.
[00:03:38]  A plague is passing over the lamb of the land, but you've got the blood of the lamb in your life.
[00:03:44]  And so as long as you're in his will, along you're in him, you don't have to fear any evil.
[00:03:49]  I will fear no evil.
[00:03:50]  Even though the plague passes over, I will not fear it.
[00:03:54]  I will not fear the plague by night or by day because I am in the blood of the lamb.
[00:03:58]  And the other thing is, what did Passover do?
[00:04:00]  What did that plague do?
[00:04:02]  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.
[00:04:18]  So God wants to use this.
[00:04:19]  People are saying, you know, the main thing is just the plague stops.
[00:04:22]  No, it's not.
[00:04:22]  The main thing is that God's purposes be accomplished for the world, for revival, and also for his people.
[00:04:29]  And the other thing is, what happened in Passover?
[00:04:32]  People rushed to be under the blood of the Lamb.
