Passover
Deliverance can happen in a moment. It is very costly, and it comes to anyone without distinction or discrimination. God’s deliverance of His chosen people from the land of Egypt illustrates these three points. First, who are these Chosen People? The descendants of Israel are known as the Chosen People. Israel is another name for the man Jacob. Jacob was the second son of Isaac who was the son of Abraham. After the flood, the descendants of Noah all settled in a plain called Shinar. They began to build a tower there in order to keep from spreading out over the whole earth. This was an act of rebellion against God, and God confused their language so the tower was never built. In the generations before the flood, humanity quickly strayed far away from God in heart, philosophy and practice. After the flood, humanity made it clear that no lesson had been learned. In just a few short generations, humankind was far from God in heart, philosophy and practice.
