Day 033 Exodus 10-12
Welcome to Day 033. The plagues intensify. Darkness covers the land—not metaphorical darkness, but a thick, physical darkness so deep that Egyptians can't see their hands in front of their faces.
Finally, God announces the final plague: every firstborn son in Egypt will die. But God provides a way of escape for His people. They must sacrifice a lamb and mark their doorposts with blood. When the angel of death passes through, he will "pass over" the homes marked with blood.
This is the birth of Passover—a feast that remembers God's deliverance forever. The Israelites prepare to leave Egypt after 430 years of slavery.
The Heartbeat: God provides a way of escape from judgment. He doesn't destroy indiscriminately—He marks and protects His people. His salvation is personal, intentional, and secure. This ancient feast foreshadows the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.
Heart-Check: Do you know what it means to be marked by God's protection? What does redemption feel like in your own life?
