Exodus 12:13 And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.
Today as I was reading verses and getting them ready to post on Twitter I read this one. A few thoughts instantly hit me about this verse.
The Israelites were to kill a lamb and eat it in the prescribed manner, and place the blood of the lamb on the door-posts. Then when the angel of the Lord passed by their home and saw the blood of the sacrificial lamb – the angel would not kill the first-born as was done with the Egyptian first-born. This was of course the Passover.
Blood has always had significant importance, such as when the Israelites sacrificed animals for the covering of sin, when Noah sacrificed animals to the Lord after leaving the ark. In Hebrews 9:22 it says: And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.
In Genesis 4:9-10 God asks Cain where his brother Able is and says the blood of Able cries out to Him. In Deuteronomy 12:23 God commands that the blood be not eaten as it IS the life.
Then there is today – the blood of Christ was and is the last sacrifice needed. Rather than door-posts, the blood of Christ covers us – our sins and we are saved from the plague – which is our sin. Hallelujah!

His articles are first published on Inspirational Christian Blogs, and I Am Not Ashamed of the Gospel of Christ!, and from there the articles are published on other well-known conservative websites.
The author feels convinced that the Church is in extreme danger of being forsaken by God for being unbiblical and seeks to warn all those with “ears to hear.” He believes we are in the last days of the end times, and that God is building His Remnant Church even now.

Great post and amen! I always think of Lev.17:11 where it says that the life of the flesh is in the blood and how true that is. If you lose too much blood, you die even if your injuries etc. could have been fixed. Jesus had no blood left in Him…He shed it willingly for us. Yes, hallelujah indeed that the blood of Christ covers all of our sins! God bless!
Amen to that! 🙂 God bless
