SnyderTalk Editorial: The Tenth Plague—The Death of the First-Born or Passover: an Excerpt from His Name is Yahweh

____________________

Jeremiah 12: 14-17

Thus says Yahweh concerning all My wicked neighbors who strike at the inheritance with which I have endowed My people Israel, “Behold I am about to uproot them from their land and will uproot the house of Judah from among them.  And it will come about that after I have uprooted them, I will again have compassion on them; and I will bring them back, each one to his inheritance and each one to his land.  Then if they will really learn the ways of My people, to swear by My name, ‘As Yahweh lives,’ even as they taught My people to swear by Baal, they will be built up in the midst of My people.  But if they will not listen, then I will uproot that nation, uproot and destroy it,” declares Yahweh.

Jeremiah 26: 19-24

“Did Hezekiah king of Judah and all Judah put him to death? Did he not fear Yahweh and entreat the favor of Yahweh, and Yahweh changed His mind about the misfortune which He had pronounced against them? But we are committing a great evil against ourselves.  Indeed, there was also a man who prophesied in the name of Yahweh, Uriah the son of Shemaiah from Kiriath-jearim; and he prophesied against this city and against this land words similar to all those of Jeremiah.  When King Jehoiakim and all his mighty men and all the officials heard his words, then the king sought to put him to death; but Uriah heard it, and he was afraid and fled and went to Egypt.  Then King Jehoiakim sent men to Egypt: Elnathan the son of Achbor and certain men with him went into Egypt.  And they brought Uriah from Egypt and led him to King Jehoiakim, who slew him with a sword and cast his dead body into the burial place of the common people.  But the hand of Ahikam the son of Shaphan was with Jeremiah, so that he was not given into the hands of the people to put him to death.

Falsely Accused

Falsely Accused is a true story about a young woman who was accused of committing a double homicide.  It’s about a travesty of justice, and it reveals Yahweh intervening in the life of a believer to rescue her from danger in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds.  Everyone will enjoy the book, but young people in particular need to read it because the mistakes made that led to the problem could have been avoided.  They were the kinds of mistakes that young people are prone to make.  As they say, forewarned is forearmed.

If you don’t have a Kindle device, you can download Falsely Accused into your computer.  The title of the book has a hyperlink.  Click on it, and it will take you to the Amazon webpage.  In the upper right corner of the webpage, you’ll see a box containing the words “Buy now with 1-click.”  Below that you’ll see Available on your PC.  You’ll need this for downloading eBooks from Kindle, and the software is free.  Next, directly under “Buy now with 1-click,” you see “Deliver to.”  The drop down will enable you to select “Kindle for PC” and download it directly into your computer.  You can also download it for use with iPads, Sony Reader, and a host of other tablet devices.  You’ll need to have an account with Amazon.  If you don’t have one already, I recommend it strongly.

The Tenth Plague—The Death of the First-Born or Passover: an Excerpt from His Name is Yahweh

The tenth plague was different from all the others because this time Yahweh targeted the first-born of every living creature.  It would touch every home in Egypt, including Pharaoh’s house.  The tenth plague was different in these respects as well:

  • Yahweh came in Person to execute it. (Exodus 12: 12)  He used the tenth plague to demonstrate His sovereignty over life and death and to show Pharaoh, Egypt, and the rest of the world that there are consequences for rebellion against Him.
  • Yahweh used it to re-emphasize that He “makes a distinction between Egypt and Israel.” (Exodus 11: 7)  In a broader sense, He was showing that He differentiates between His people and everyone else.
  • Yahweh used the tenth plague, or Passover, to teach us a lesson about redemption, and He commanded us to celebrate Passover yearly forever. (Exodus 12:  14 and 17)

Passover is the day Yahweh redeemed His people, when He passed over their houses and spared them from the death penalty.  But the penalty for sin is death.  God told Adam that he would surely die if he disobeyed Him, (Genesis 2: 17) and God cannot go back on His Word.  The blood of the Passover lamb on the doorposts and lintels of their houses was, and still is, symbolic of the sacrifice Yahweh made to secure our salvation.  In other words, Passover is not just about redemption from bondage in Egypt.  In a larger sense, it is about redemption from bondage to sin, and that is why He commanded us to celebrate it every year forever.

God told Moses,

“This month shall be for you the beginning of months, it shall be for you the first of the months of the year.  Speak to the entire assembly of Israel, saying: On the tenth of this month they shall take for themselves—each man—a lamb or a kid for each father’s house, a lamb or a kid for the household.  But if the household will be too small for a lamb or kid, then he and his neighbor who is near his house shall take according to the number of people; everyone according to what he eats shall be counted for the lamb or kid.  An (singular) unblemished lamb or kid, a male, within its first year shall it be for you; from the sheep or goats shall you take it.  It shall be yours (your lamb) for examination until the fourteenth day of this month; the entire congregation of the assembly of Israel shall slaughter it in the afternoon.  They shall take some of its blood and place it on the two doorposts and on the lintel of the houses in which they will eat it.  They shall eat the flesh on that night—roasted over a fire—and matzos; with bitter herbs shall they eat it.” (Exodus 12: 2-8 from The Stone Edition Tanach)

Yahweh refers to the Passover lamb as “a lamb” three times.  He told them to take “a lamb” for each household, and if a household was too small for “a lamb,” He told them to combine families and share “a lamb.”  Everyone will have enough, and no one will have too much.  This is fundamental to God’s plan for redemption and salvation.  Next, God refers to it as “the lamb”—the unblemished lamb.  Then, God refers to “the lamb” as “your personal lamb”:

“It (the lamb) shall be yours (your lamb) for examination until the fourteenth day of this month.” (Exodus 12: 6)

Yahweh told the Children of Israel to take “the lamb” into their houses for four days.  During the four-day period, it becomes “your lamb.”  You get to know it.  It becomes part of your family.  You learn about its character and disposition.  In every sense of the word, it becomes “your lamb.”  Yahweh’s redemption is personal as well.  He made a sacrifice for you, and He is your Lamb.

Finally, Yahweh told them to slaughter their personal lamb on the afternoon of the 14th.  It was as if they were slaughtering a member of their own family.  The children knew and loved their lamb, and they probably cried when it was slaughtered.  Yes, this lamb is your lamb, and it is dying for your salvation.  Your Lamb’s blood is the only thing that saves your life.

To redeem us and to atone for our sins, the unblemished Passover Lamb of God had to die.  He had to pay the price for our sins in order to save us.  This is the most important message contained in the Scriptures.  Yahweh explained the literal meaning of Passover to Isaiah this way: “Yahweh inflicted on Him the iniquity of us all,” (Isaiah 53: 6 from the The Stone Edition Tanach ) and He is our “guilt offering.” (Isaiah 53: 10)  The Person about whom Yahweh is speaking in Isaiah is the Messiah, and He took the penalty for our sins upon Himself.  As you will see later, this Person is the personification and manifestation of Yahweh.

Joel 3: 17-21

Then you will know that I am Yahweh your God, dwelling in Zion, My holy mountain.  So Jerusalem will be holy, and strangers will pass through it no more.  And in that day the mountains will drip with sweet wine, and the hills will flow with milk, and all the brooks of Judah will flow with water; and a spring will go out from the house of Yahweh to water the valley of Shittim.  Egypt will become a waste, and Edom will become a desolate wilderness, because of the violence done to the sons of Judah, in whose land they have shed innocent blood.  But Judah will be inhabited forever and Jerusalem for all generations.  And I will avenge their blood which I have not avenged, for Yahweh dwells in Zion.
