40 Days Commentary | Wed 4/5 | Ex. 12:12–14

Posted 5 April 2017

The thirty-sixth day of our commentary from the International Formation house in Ann Arbor, MI following our Meditations for the 40 Days. John Yocum comments on Exodus 12.

The Exodus is the victory of God especially in spiritual warfare, a defeat of the kingdom of darkness.

¹² For I will pass through the land of Egypt that night, and I will smite all the first-born in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and on all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgments: I am the LORD. ¹³ The blood shall be a sign for you, upon the houses where you are; and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and no plague shall fall upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt. ¹⁴ “This day shall be for you a memorial day, and you shall keep it as a feast to the LORD; throughout your generations you shall observe it as an ordinance for ever. – Exo 12:12-14 RSV
