1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:06,000
we're looking at the Events of 
the Exodus in the Old Testament.

2
00:00:06,500 --> 00:00:09,200
God, people delivered God, 
delivered. 

3
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:12,500
His people out of Egypt, 
eventually brought them to the 

4
00:00:12,500 --> 00:00:16,500
promised land. 
We are now still in Egypt, 

5
00:00:16,500 --> 00:00:20,900
haven't left yet, but getting 
awful close, our story picks up 

6
00:00:20,900 --> 00:00:27,200
today in chapter 12 of Exodus 
and it's the story of the 

7
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:30,600
beginning of the Passover and 
it's a lengthy text. 

8
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:35,300
So I will try to be moving along
with it, pay attention to a lot 

9
00:00:35,300 --> 00:00:39,000
of detail because will refer to 
a lot of that detail in a 

10
00:00:39,008 --> 00:00:41,300
moment. 
The Lord said to Moses and Aaron

11
00:00:41,300 --> 00:00:44,400
in the land of Egypt, this month
shall be for you the beginning 

12
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:48,700
of months, it shall be the first
month of the year for you tell 

13
00:00:48,700 --> 00:00:51,800
all the congregation of Israel, 
that on the tenth day of this 

14
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:56,000
month, every man shall take a 
lamb according to their fathers 

15
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:00,700
houses, a lamb for a household 
and if the household is too 

16
00:01:00,700 --> 00:01:04,599
small for a lamb, then he His 
nearest neighbor shall take, 

17
00:01:04,700 --> 00:01:08,100
according to the number of 
persons, according to what each 

18
00:01:08,100 --> 00:01:11,200
can eat, you shall make your 
count for the lamb. 

19
00:01:11,700 --> 00:01:13,900
Your lamb shall be without 
blemish. 

20
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:18,500
A male a year old. 
You may take it from the sheep 

21
00:01:18,500 --> 00:01:22,600
or from the goats and you shall 
keep it until the 14th day of 

22
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:24,400
the month. 
When the whole assembly of the 

23
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:29,400
congregation of Israel shall 
kill their lambs at Twilight. 

24
00:01:30,700 --> 00:01:33,800
Then they shall take some of the
blood and put it on the two-door

25
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:37,500
post and the lintel of the 
houses in which they eat it. 

26
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:42,000
They shall eat the flesh that 
night roasted on the fire with 

27
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,400
unleavened bread and bitter 
herbs. 

28
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:48,100
They shall eat it. 
Do not eat it any of it, raw, or

29
00:01:48,100 --> 00:01:52,200
boiling water, but roasted its 
head with its legs and its inner

30
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,500
parts and you shall let none of 
it. 

31
00:01:54,500 --> 00:01:57,400
Remain until the morning. 
Anything that remains until the 

32
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:01,500
morning you shall burn. 
In this manner, you shall eat it

33
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:05,900
with your belt, fastened your 
sandals on your feet and your 

34
00:02:05,900 --> 00:02:10,900
staff in your hand and you shall
eat it in haste, it is the 

35
00:02:10,900 --> 00:02:15,000
Lord's Passover for. 
I will pass through the land of 

36
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,300
Egypt that night. 
And I will strike all the 

37
00:02:17,300 --> 00:02:21,900
firstborn in the land of Egypt. 
Both man and Beast, and all the 

38
00:02:21,900 --> 00:02:24,700
gods of Egypt, I will execute 
judgment. 

39
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:29,500
I am the Lord, the blood shall 
be a sign for you on the house. 

40
00:02:29,700 --> 00:02:33,900
Just where you are. 
And when I see the blood, I will

41
00:02:33,900 --> 00:02:38,500
pass over you. 
This day shall be for you and 

42
00:02:38,500 --> 00:02:42,700
Memorial Day and you shall keep 
it as a feast to the Lord 

43
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,700
throughout your Generations as a
statute forever. 

44
00:02:46,900 --> 00:02:51,400
You shall keep it as a feast and
now moving over towards the end 

45
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,800
of the chapter or really the 
middle of the chapter. 

46
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:57,200
Then the Lord Moses called all 
the Elders of Israel and said to

47
00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:00,700
them, go and select Lambs for 
Yourselves according to your 

48
00:03:00,700 --> 00:03:03,400
Clans and kill the Passover 
Lamb. 

49
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:09,000
Take the bunch of hyssop and dip
it in the blood that is in the 

50
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:16,200
basin. 
And the lentil and the two-door 

51
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,400
post with the blood that is in 
the Basin. 

52
00:03:18,900 --> 00:03:21,800
None of you shall go out of the 
door of his house until the 

53
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,700
morning. 
For the Lord will pass through 

54
00:03:24,700 --> 00:03:27,800
to strike the Egyptians. 
And when he sees the blood on 

55
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:32,400
the lintel, and on the two-door 
post, the Lord shall pass over 

56
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:37,900
the door, and will not allow the
Destroyer to enter the house to 

57
00:03:37,900 --> 00:03:44,100
strike you, you shall observe 
this as a statute for you, and 

58
00:03:44,100 --> 00:03:51,300
for your sons forever. 
And when you come to the land 

59
00:03:51,300 --> 00:03:53,800
that the Lord will give you, as 
he has promised, you, you shall 

60
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:57,000
keep this service. 
And when your children say to 

61
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,800
you, what do you mean by this 
service? 

62
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,700
You shall say? 
It is the sacrifice of the 

63
00:04:03,700 --> 00:04:07,800
Lord's Passover for. 
He passed over the houses of the

64
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:11,700
people of Israel and Egypt when 
he struck the Egyptians but he 

65
00:04:11,700 --> 00:04:18,000
spared our houses and the people
bowed their heads and worshiped,

66
00:04:18,700 --> 00:04:22,600
the word of the Lord, you may be
seated. 

67
00:04:32,300 --> 00:04:34,900
I think this is a very familiar 
story to most of you. 

68
00:04:35,100 --> 00:04:38,500
This is the institution of the 
Passover. 

69
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:45,300
The word Passover Pasha means in
the original Hebrew Passover. 

70
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:50,000
It means to pass over, and 
that's exactly what happened 

71
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:56,900
when the death angel came to 
wreak judgment upon the house of

72
00:04:57,500 --> 00:05:03,000
the Egyptians. 
If he saw Blood on the post of 

73
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:07,700
the doors and the lentils, he 
would pass over that house and 

74
00:05:07,700 --> 00:05:11,100
go to the next one. 
And if he saw blood on that door

75
00:05:11,100 --> 00:05:16,600
post, he would pass over that 
house and go to the next one and

76
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:21,100
all throughout the land, and 
where there was blood On the 

77
00:05:21,100 --> 00:05:27,900
doorpost, there was no death in 
the household. but where there 

78
00:05:27,900 --> 00:05:35,200
was no blood on the doorposts of
the entrance of the houses, the 

79
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:40,900
death angel came and took the 
firstborn of every household in 

80
00:05:40,900 --> 00:05:46,800
Egypt. 
This is the beginning in the 

81
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,900
life of Israel of their 
sacrificial system. 

82
00:05:49,900 --> 00:05:54,500
Now, we know that sacrifice had 
been since the beginning. 

83
00:05:54,500 --> 00:05:59,800
The Lord himself had sacrificed 
animals in order to get their 

84
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:03,000
skins in order to make a 
covering for Adam and Eve. 

85
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:07,700
The Lord himself was the first 
priest performing this service 

86
00:06:07,700 --> 00:06:12,300
of covering cough are atoning 
for Adam and Eve. 

87
00:06:12,300 --> 00:06:19,000
We That Abel offered sacrifice, 
Seth offered sacrifice Enoch 

88
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:22,400
offered sacrifice. 
Most, I mean, Noah offered 

89
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,300
sacrifice coming all the way 
down to the days of the 

90
00:06:25,300 --> 00:06:29,000
Patriarchs Abraham. 
Offered sacrifices to the Lord. 

91
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:32,900
So did Isaac and Jacob. 
So, this is not the beginning of

92
00:06:32,900 --> 00:06:36,800
sacrifice in the Bible, the 
notion of sacrifice goes back to

93
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:40,600
the garden. 
It is ancient. 

94
00:06:41,300 --> 00:06:45,200
It is absolutely vital to 
understanding Redemptive 

95
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:48,200
history. 
That is the story of how God 

96
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:51,500
redeems his people. 
But now, God is going to be even

97
00:06:51,500 --> 00:06:55,100
more specific. 
He's going to Institute for them

98
00:06:55,100 --> 00:06:59,300
and constitute for them. 
A particular sacrificial 

99
00:06:59,300 --> 00:07:00,800
ceremony. 
That's going to have the 

100
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:04,400
elements that he needs for all 
of the sacrifices that he'll 

101
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:08,300
bring them out later. 
And finally the sacrifice of his

102
00:07:08,300 --> 00:07:10,800
own son. 
One upon the cross. 

103
00:07:11,500 --> 00:07:16,900
So if we get it right on 
Passover will understand it 

104
00:07:16,900 --> 00:07:19,500
right. 
Concerning Christ, will 

105
00:07:19,500 --> 00:07:22,700
understand the gospel. 
Remember Paul said I delivered 

106
00:07:22,700 --> 00:07:26,000
unto you that which I also 
received how that Christ died 

107
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:30,200
for our sins, according to the 
scriptures. 

108
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,500
What? 
Scriptures starting with 

109
00:07:34,500 --> 00:07:38,300
Passover. 
We understand the death of 

110
00:07:38,300 --> 00:07:42,800
Christ, the cross. 
That Bloody ordeal that Christ. 

111
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:47,600
Underwent as our representative 
and in our place, our substitute

112
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:50,800
dying for us. 
Taking that penalty that we 

113
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:54,100
deserved. 
We understand that in terms of 

114
00:07:54,100 --> 00:07:58,100
the things we're going to learn 
from the Passover and the 

115
00:07:58,100 --> 00:08:01,800
sacrificial system in the Old 
Testament and the Passover is 

116
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:06,000
the basic beginning of all that.
In fact, they're still in Egypt,

117
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,900
they haven't left yet. 
Pharaoh hasn't let them go. 

118
00:08:09,100 --> 00:08:11,400
They're getting ready to go. 
This is the Night of their 

119
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:15,100
departure and the Lord tells 
them the process that he wants 

120
00:08:15,100 --> 00:08:19,600
them to go through that evening 
there in the night of the 

121
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:23,700
Passover. 
Now, a few things in the Bible 

122
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:29,800
need to be followed through from
the Passover once they get into 

123
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:33,200
the Wilderness and the Lord 
gives his entire incomplete law,

124
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:37,700
he will expand the sacrificial 
in the blood rituals to a vast 

125
00:08:37,700 --> 00:08:41,600
array of different kinds of 
sacrifices, offerings, guilt 

126
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:45,700
offerings, trespass offerings, 
offerings of grain, and all 

127
00:08:45,700 --> 00:08:49,200
sorts of things, it'll be very 
elaborate and very meaningful 

128
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:51,400
because he's going to teach them
the whole cow. 

129
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:55,000
Sort of God through the expanded
sacrificial system. 

130
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:57,700
We're going to learn about the, 
the wave offering, which is the 

131
00:08:57,700 --> 00:09:01,300
first fruits, which is 
resurrection in addition to 

132
00:09:01,300 --> 00:09:04,100
death. 
We're going to learn about the 

133
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:07,200
offering of the praise in the 
burning of the incent, which is 

134
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:09,600
the incense, which is the 
prayers of the Saints. 

135
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:12,400
Many many, many things will 
learn from the sacrificial 

136
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:17,900
system as we go along climaxing,
in one great day of sacrifice. 

137
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:23,700
And that is the great day of a 
Atonement deal with that today, 

138
00:09:23,700 --> 00:09:27,900
but it is also a very thorough 
picture of the death. 

139
00:09:27,900 --> 00:09:30,700
That Christ died. 
Christ, died for our sins. 

140
00:09:30,700 --> 00:09:33,800
According to the scriptures. 
You need to understand three or 

141
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:37,700
four slogans, I would recommend 
that these be on the tip of your

142
00:09:37,700 --> 00:09:39,500
tongue for the rest of your 
life. 

143
00:09:39,900 --> 00:09:43,500
There are few things you need to
know that set the stage for what

144
00:09:43,500 --> 00:09:46,900
we understand in the sacrificial
system of the Bible. 

145
00:09:47,100 --> 00:09:49,900
Otherwise, if you're not 
careful, you'll be adopted a 

146
00:09:49,908 --> 00:09:53,600
pagan view, or a secular. 
You may be just a cynical 

147
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:57,500
postmodern view of the sacrifice
that Christ made and you'll just

148
00:09:57,500 --> 00:10:00,600
critique it around the edges. 
You'll talk about how primitive 

149
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:02,900
it is, how Bloody it is. 
You'll talk about how 

150
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,600
disgraceful it is. 
You'll even look at it carefully

151
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,200
and say, oh, this is terrible, 
that God would do this to his 

152
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:09,800
own son. 
What kind of religion do you 

153
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:15,100
have as one Episcopal, Bishop 
wrote a book and called it. 

154
00:10:15,300 --> 00:10:20,900
Cosmic child abuse, that God 
would sacrifice his own son and 

155
00:10:20,900 --> 00:10:24,000
give him up. 
Up for us, this poor Bishop 

156
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:25,900
didn't understand the love of 
God. 

157
00:10:26,500 --> 00:10:29,900
God did not spare his son but 
gave him up for us because how 

158
00:10:29,900 --> 00:10:32,600
else would he redeem Lost 
Sinner's? 

159
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:36,500
And this is the gospel of 
redemption, the gospel of 

160
00:10:36,500 --> 00:10:40,500
Ransom, the gospel of freedom 
and rescue, the gospel of God, 

161
00:10:40,500 --> 00:10:44,100
taking his people in a horrible 
place and putting them into a 

162
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:49,600
kingdom of light. 
And this is a the flow of 

163
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,900
Biblical, history, learn these 
slogans, let me just recite a 

164
00:10:52,908 --> 00:10:57,600
few of them, the soul that sins.
It shall die. 

165
00:10:58,700 --> 00:11:02,600
You will die for your own sins. 
The wages of sin is death. 

166
00:11:03,500 --> 00:11:06,400
This is the prophet, Ezekiel 
summing up, the gospel message 

167
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:10,400
on its side of our need. 
Our need is for a savior because

168
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:15,700
we have offended. 
God, we have violated his word, 

169
00:11:15,700 --> 00:11:19,100
we have trespassed against him 
and his law. 

170
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:21,800
We have done that which is 
perverse that which is 

171
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:25,400
iniquitous that which is crooked
that which is out of bounds 

172
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:29,600
that's which misses the mark. 
I just gave you a brief 

173
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:33,400
definitions of a half, a dozen 
words for sin in both the Old 

174
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:38,700
and the New Testament, we have 
committed acts of treachery and 

175
00:11:38,700 --> 00:11:45,300
Rebellion against our King and 
Creator and we all deserve to 

176
00:11:45,300 --> 00:11:48,800
die. 
I don't know what that does to 

177
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:51,300
your self-esteem this morning 
and if that's all I had to tell 

178
00:11:51,300 --> 00:11:53,700
you, I would really be a 
preacher of hate. 

179
00:11:55,500 --> 00:11:58,800
I'm here to tell you that 
there's a remedy, there's a 

180
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:02,500
Redemption. 
There's a ransom, there's a 

181
00:12:02,500 --> 00:12:05,700
restoration, there's a 
resurrection. 

182
00:12:06,500 --> 00:12:09,800
And that's the gospel message, 
and so, is the Lord lays this 

183
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:12,100
Foundation. 
Historically taking his time, 

184
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:17,000
taking many generations, many 
centuries to lay out this Gospel

185
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,600
of redemption. 
And the first thing we need to 

186
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:23,100
know going back to Genesis 3 is 
the soul that sins. 

187
00:12:23,300 --> 00:12:25,200
It shall die. 
There's no exceptions to that. 

188
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:30,600
Have you sinned? 
You will die and your death is a

189
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:34,400
punishment for your sins. 
It's not the end of the story 

190
00:12:34,700 --> 00:12:37,500
but that is the foundational 
beginning of the story. 

191
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:40,300
If you don't think you're a 
sinner, then you don't need the 

192
00:12:40,300 --> 00:12:43,200
gospel. 
If you don't think you've 

193
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:46,100
violated God, you don't need the
gospel. 

194
00:12:46,100 --> 00:12:49,900
Or if you think God is going to,
just let it slide. 

195
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:54,400
And just sort of, ignore your 
sins. 

196
00:12:54,700 --> 00:12:58,400
You don't need the gospel, maybe
you need a little gospel. 

197
00:12:59,300 --> 00:13:02,300
I can do pretty much on my own, 
what I need to do, but I'm not 

198
00:13:02,300 --> 00:13:04,200
perfect. 
I just need about that much more

199
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:09,300
and I'll make it and the Lord in
his Wonderful Grace makes up 

200
00:13:09,300 --> 00:13:12,700
that little difference. 
And now I can make it to Heaven,

201
00:13:13,500 --> 00:13:17,300
if that's your understanding. 
You won't listen to The Gospel. 

202
00:13:17,900 --> 00:13:23,400
But if you see yourself as you 
are before, God, not before your

203
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:25,700
neighbor yours goodies, your 
neighbor probably better than 

204
00:13:25,700 --> 00:13:28,900
your neighbor. 
I mean, honestly, most of us in 

205
00:13:28,908 --> 00:13:33,600
here better than our neighbors. 
That's self-righteousness will 

206
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:38,400
also blind us to our need for 
the gospel, we're all at the 

207
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:45,300
foot of the cross needy broken 
sinful, what do we have to do to

208
00:13:45,300 --> 00:13:49,400
be condemned by God nothing, we 
were born in sin, we are shaped 

209
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:51,800
in Antiquity. 
The Bible says, we come forth 

210
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:56,700
from the from the womb speaking 
lies, there's no righteousness 

211
00:13:56,700 --> 00:13:58,500
in us. 
There's no goodness in us. 

212
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:01,200
We're not even getting credit 
for our efforts. 

213
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,300
There is none that seeketh after
God. 

214
00:14:03,300 --> 00:14:07,100
I don't know why we have Seeker 
sensitive worship Services 

215
00:14:07,100 --> 00:14:10,100
there, nobody's seeking. 
After God, the only worship 

216
00:14:10,100 --> 00:14:12,000
Services. 
Those that worship Him in spirit

217
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:16,200
and Truth. 
The father seeketh, those To 

218
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:21,000
worship him. 
And so, The soul that sins. 

219
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,200
It shall die. 
The second slogan that you need 

220
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:29,600
to remember is the life of the 
flesh is in the blood. 

221
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:34,500
That's just a pretty obvious 
fact to us now in the scientific

222
00:14:34,500 --> 00:14:39,200
age but it's been true. 
All along you drain out the 

223
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:42,300
blood and the carcass doesn't 
live very long. 

224
00:14:43,500 --> 00:14:47,900
The life of the flesh is in the 
blood, it is, the shedding of 

225
00:14:47,900 --> 00:14:51,500
blood, is the taking of the 
blood out of the carcass out of 

226
00:14:51,500 --> 00:14:55,600
the body. 
That elicits, the death causes 

227
00:14:55,600 --> 00:15:00,900
the death, we do what we call 
now, soft bleed out, the life of

228
00:15:00,900 --> 00:15:05,700
the flesh is in the blood. 
So when blood is shed on life is

229
00:15:05,700 --> 00:15:08,400
forfeit in life is given a life 
is forsaken. 

230
00:15:10,100 --> 00:15:14,100
Third slogan, you need to 
remember is without the shedding

231
00:15:14,100 --> 00:15:17,500
of blood. 
There is no remission of sin. 

232
00:15:18,700 --> 00:15:20,400
In other words, blood has to be 
shed. 

233
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:24,900
A life has to be taken, 
something has to die in order 

234
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:31,900
for sin to be remitted sin, to 
be canceled, the penalty of sin,

235
00:15:31,900 --> 00:15:35,400
the Judgment of sin, the 
sentence of Sindh condemnation 

236
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:41,500
of Sindh sting of sin and death.
Something has to happen and that

237
00:15:41,500 --> 00:15:46,600
is there has to be the shedding 
of blood and then the one 

238
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:51,400
principle will see this morning 
very Quickly is the notion of 

239
00:15:51,700 --> 00:15:55,200
when I see the blood. 
I will pass over you. 

240
00:15:57,700 --> 00:16:01,000
God's looking for the blood, 
it's the blood. 

241
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:05,400
That is the covering, it's the 
blood, that's the agent that 

242
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:08,100
purges. 
And so, that's what we have in 

243
00:16:08,100 --> 00:16:09,900
this story. 
I asked you to pay attention to 

244
00:16:09,900 --> 00:16:12,600
some of the details and I'm 
going to review them for you. 

245
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:18,600
Let's look just very quickly at 
a few of the details of this 

246
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:26,000
Passover. 
On the first of the month on the

247
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:31,300
tenth day, they were to select a
sacrificial lamb. 

248
00:16:32,700 --> 00:16:36,800
The selection of the sacrificial
lamb was important, not just any

249
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:39,400
lamb would work it. 
Had to be a lamb. 

250
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:42,300
That could be a lamb of the 
sheep or a lamb of the goats. 

251
00:16:42,300 --> 00:16:48,100
It could be a lamb or a kid but 
it was still the lamb a year old

252
00:16:48,100 --> 00:16:50,100
a yearling. 
By the time they got to be two 

253
00:16:50,100 --> 00:16:55,900
years old, they were grown and 
they wanted a lamb that was a 

254
00:16:55,900 --> 00:17:01,200
year old about It had to be a 
lamb, a yearling. 

255
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:05,300
It had to be the first sling of 
the flock because remember, we 

256
00:17:05,300 --> 00:17:08,800
talked last week about the first
born, in the importance of the 

257
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:12,400
first born, the first born is 
the one that receives the 

258
00:17:12,408 --> 00:17:15,099
blessing and dispenses the 
blessing all throughout 

259
00:17:15,099 --> 00:17:16,700
scripture. 
It was the attack upon the 

260
00:17:16,700 --> 00:17:21,099
firstborn that was a judgment on
Egypt and it was also the 

261
00:17:21,099 --> 00:17:25,700
representation had to be the 
firstlings of the flock and it 

262
00:17:25,700 --> 00:17:32,100
had to be a male a male Well of 
the flock and it not only had to

263
00:17:32,100 --> 00:17:39,700
be a whole who Ellie a whole 
lamb, but it had to be a Holy 

264
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:43,800
Lamb. 
That is a lamb without spot and 

265
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:48,200
without blemish it couldn't have
any spots or blemishes upon its 

266
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:50,900
exterior. 
It cannot have any shortcomings 

267
00:17:50,900 --> 00:17:53,600
missing a limb because the 
Temptation is to take a poor 

268
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:56,900
little lamb that you look Ox. 
Not going to make it anyway or 

269
00:17:56,900 --> 00:17:59,900
one that's sick or That has a 
malady or month, may have been 

270
00:17:59,900 --> 00:18:04,000
maimed at Birth or recently been
fighting off an attack from a 

271
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:07,700
wolf, from his dead. 
Who knows what's been going on 

272
00:18:07,700 --> 00:18:09,500
in this? 
It'd be a perfect little lamb. 

273
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:15,200
No, it had to be a perfect lamb 
a lamb without spot and a lamb 

274
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:20,000
without blemish had to be pure 
and it had to be consecrated set

275
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,800
apart. 
He was not only should this lamb

276
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:28,100
be qualified as whole and holy 
but he had to be Ugh. 

277
00:18:28,100 --> 00:18:32,300
Nated to be the one. 
He had to be a designated one. 

278
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:35,900
Are you hearing anything about 
Jesus Christ in this? 

279
00:18:37,300 --> 00:18:39,900
Let me go on talk a little bit 
more about the particular 

280
00:18:39,900 --> 00:18:43,500
Passover ceremony. 
You not only word, is it had to 

281
00:18:43,508 --> 00:18:49,200
be a select type of lamb who 
would meet all of this criteria,

282
00:18:51,500 --> 00:18:55,900
who met the criteria to be our 
Lamb of God that takes away the 

283
00:18:55,900 --> 00:19:01,300
sin of the world. 
Holy undefiled separate from 

284
00:19:01,300 --> 00:19:06,300
Sinners. 
Pure righteous in every way. 

285
00:19:06,300 --> 00:19:11,700
Only the perfect Son of God, 
could be the Lamb of God that 

286
00:19:11,700 --> 00:19:16,500
takes away the sin of the world.
And so, this is teaching us some

287
00:19:16,500 --> 00:19:20,200
things about Christ when they 
took this little lamb. 

288
00:19:20,900 --> 00:19:28,100
Also, the ritual continued The 
you must kill it at Twilight. 

289
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:34,700
When did Jesus die and said, it 
is finished and was taken down 

290
00:19:34,700 --> 00:19:38,400
off the cross. 
It was in that late late 

291
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:43,000
afternoon before the sun began 
to set and it moved into the 

292
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:49,200
darkness of the Sabbath. 
This particular Slaughter had to

293
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:54,500
take place, then you would in 
order to prepare it for 

294
00:19:54,500 --> 00:19:59,900
roasting, you would pierce it 
through with a Stave in order to

295
00:19:59,900 --> 00:20:03,300
have some rotisserie to put over
the fire. 

296
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:07,600
Do you remember what happened to
Christ just before they took him

297
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:10,900
off the cross the spear in his 
side. 

298
00:20:11,500 --> 00:20:18,200
Then also this particular lamb 
you had to had to have it cooked

299
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:23,500
in certain way he was to be 
roasted over the fire. 

300
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:30,200
You were not to boil him or 
broil him or eat him raw. 

301
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:36,600
He was to face the full Fury of 
the Like a fire. 

302
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:44,400
Is this not our Christ, Our 
Savior, Who Bore the full brunt 

303
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:49,800
of the wrath of God in his 
atoning, sacrifice for us on the

304
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:53,300
cross. 
The full Fury, and the anger and

305
00:20:53,300 --> 00:20:58,900
the rage that the writer to 
Hebrew sums up our God is a 

306
00:20:58,900 --> 00:21:04,500
consuming fire. 
So the the lamb had to be 

307
00:21:04,500 --> 00:21:08,400
prepared in this way, but before
they ate the lamb, they would 

308
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:11,300
take the blood blood when they 
kill the lamb and draw it into a

309
00:21:11,300 --> 00:21:16,100
basin into a bowl and they had 
to do something with that blood,

310
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:21,000
here's what they did with the 
blood they took The blood in the

311
00:21:21,008 --> 00:21:23,200
Basin and they took a hyssop 
branch. 

312
00:21:24,100 --> 00:21:26,500
Which by the way if we talked 
about baptism, today, I would 

313
00:21:26,500 --> 00:21:29,400
talk to you about biblical 
baptism, we will know a little 

314
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:35,000
bit about the hyssop branch. 
We're take a hyssop branch and 

315
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:38,200
douse it into it. 
It's a ratchet was thick bushy 

316
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:41,500
and spongy and what whole things
that was what they used to put 

317
00:21:41,500 --> 00:21:45,800
the vinegar on with Christ when 
they pushed it to his lips. 

318
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:50,500
When he said I thirst they take 
the hyssop branch and put it in 

319
00:21:50,500 --> 00:21:55,300
that Basin of the Lambs blood 
and then they would Splash it 

320
00:21:55,600 --> 00:22:00,500
upon The doorpost in two 
directions. 

321
00:22:02,100 --> 00:22:07,200
Vertically. 
Down the post of the doors. 

322
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:13,700
Horizontally across the litten 
of their ceiling. 

323
00:22:16,700 --> 00:22:22,000
Across. 
Would make that pattern of blood

324
00:22:23,500 --> 00:22:26,100
when I see the blood I will pass
over you. 

325
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:29,200
It's not just any old blood any 
old place. 

326
00:22:29,700 --> 00:22:34,600
It's the blood of the precious 
lamb of god without spot and 

327
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:37,700
without blemish that's been 
strategically and deliberately 

328
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:41,800
paste. 
Placed upon that pattern, that 

329
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:45,100
is the sign of God's Redemptive 
work of all ages. 

330
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:52,100
That is The Old Rugged Cross. 
And so this is a little bit 

331
00:22:52,100 --> 00:23:00,400
about what they should do. 
They were to now take all of the

332
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:05,700
the food and eat it, and they 
would eat it with unleavened 

333
00:23:05,700 --> 00:23:11,000
bread. 
And bitter vegetables, bitter 

334
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:14,900
herbs and they were made better 
by being literally cooked and 

335
00:23:14,900 --> 00:23:20,500
doused in dipped in in vinegar. 
And there are a lot of detail 

336
00:23:20,500 --> 00:23:23,700
from this that we could 
extrapolate forward as we read 

337
00:23:23,700 --> 00:23:26,500
the Lord's Supper, in which he 
kept the Passover with his 

338
00:23:26,500 --> 00:23:28,300
disciples. 
That's what they were doing the 

339
00:23:28,300 --> 00:23:30,200
night before. 
Jesus was betrayed and then 

340
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:35,000
crucified, the next day, they 
were eating together this 

341
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:38,100
Passover meal, which the 
scriptures said in verse 14 of 

342
00:23:38,100 --> 00:23:41,700
our text, that it was a statute 
that was going to remain forever

343
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:45,600
and ever. 
And it still does Jesus ate it 

344
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:48,800
with his disciples, Jesus 
executed in accordance. 

345
00:23:48,900 --> 00:23:52,700
Published it and everything that
they didn't eat was to be burned

346
00:23:52,700 --> 00:23:56,700
up, be the sacrifice was to be a
one and done, they were no 

347
00:23:56,700 --> 00:23:58,600
leftovers. 
There was nothing else that was 

348
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:01,800
to follow through. 
There was no residuals of this. 

349
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:06,400
The Lamb of God who takes away 
the sin of the world Christ hung

350
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:11,100
on that cross. 
Once for all and finish the 

351
00:24:11,100 --> 00:24:15,700
entire work for the entirety of 
his people subbing in their 

352
00:24:15,700 --> 00:24:20,500
place. 
In this ritual. 

353
00:24:21,700 --> 00:24:28,400
There was profound, meaning, 
especially having to do with 

354
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:31,600
Christ. 
The Apostle, Paul, says, when we

355
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:37,500
come to the table, he said, let 
us keep the feast, but Feast the

356
00:24:37,500 --> 00:24:39,300
Lord said, keep the feast 
forever. 

357
00:24:39,900 --> 00:24:41,400
We're going to keep the feast 
forever. 

358
00:24:43,700 --> 00:24:46,500
Jesus kept it with his disciples
after he'd been kept for 

359
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:49,400
hundreds and hundreds of years, 
historically, and Israel. 

360
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:54,100
Immediately, his disciples 
gathered. 

361
00:24:55,300 --> 00:25:00,000
And kept the feast following 
Jesus death and Resurrection. 

362
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:04,800
The church kept the feast all 
through the years. 

363
00:25:05,300 --> 00:25:08,400
We've not stopped keeping the 
feast. 

364
00:25:09,700 --> 00:25:16,200
And the feast is going to be 
consummated when all of us 

365
00:25:16,900 --> 00:25:21,900
gather at that Celestial table 
at what is known as the great 

366
00:25:21,900 --> 00:25:26,100
feast, the great celebration of 
the great ceremony in the sky 

367
00:25:26,100 --> 00:25:31,200
that wraps up redemptions work, 
it's called the marriage supper 

368
00:25:31,900 --> 00:25:37,000
of the Lamb. 
Now this is Ascension Sunday and

369
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:38,600
we haven't said anything about 
Ascension. 

370
00:25:39,100 --> 00:25:42,200
Let me just say one thing about 
a cinch and what Ascension is is

371
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:46,300
the the exaltation and the going
back to Heaven of Our Lord in 

372
00:25:46,300 --> 00:25:51,300
his Earthly days, and him being 
Seated on the right hand of the 

373
00:25:51,300 --> 00:25:56,600
father. 
Read the book of Revelation, 

374
00:25:56,600 --> 00:26:00,000
there's a scene in there several
seeds, actually that depict 

375
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:04,100
this, but one is very graphic. 
When you look up there, what do 

376
00:26:04,108 --> 00:26:08,000
you see in heaven? 
He's ascended. 

377
00:26:09,100 --> 00:26:12,000
There's a lamb upon the throne. 
There's a lamb upon the throne.
