A morning at The Brew

 A slow morning at The Brew. I studied Christ and the Passover and ordered a skim latte and an everything bagel. 

"Jehovah chose Israel." Why Jehovah? 

They knew they needed to be delivered, not only from Pharaoh but also from Egypt. 

How will the Bible Project's study over the theme of the Exodus overlap with this book study?

"God speaks in terms of human experiences"

God's holiness demands that He judges sin, and the price is costly. But He is also merciful and provides a way of escape, which is redemption. 

Isaiah 53:7 + 1 Peter 1:19-20

Isaiah speaks in the past-tense?

"Each year you and your family are to eat [the firstborn] in the presence of the Lord."

The passover lamb was marked for death. 

The passover lamb was to be perfect. Deut 15: 21 | Heb 4:15 | 1 Peter 1:19

They roasted the passover lamb with fire. Fire is symbolic of God's judgment. 

"My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? (Matthew 27:46) (2 Corinthians 5:21)

For we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building form God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands. Meanwhile we groan, longing to be clothed instead with our heavenly dwelling, because when we are clothed, we will not be found naked. 

...each of us may receive what is due us for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad. 

Not a bone of the passover lamb was broken. Exodus 12:3 "a lamb - a nebulous, unknown entity,"

Arthur Pink

(Gal 12:20) (Exodus 12:3-5) 

The Bitter Herb symbolizes death and mourning.

Zechariah 12:10, 13:9, 14:9

Matthew 24:30, Revelation 1:7, Zechariah 12:12

The bitter herb remind us that the firstborn children of Israel lived because the Passover lamb died.

What did people of Zechariah think he meant in Zechariah 12:10?

Weeping of Hadad Rimnon in Megiddo?

The Unleavened Bread is almost always a symbol of sin

• "God did not leave them to grapple with abstraction"

This would have been felt specifically by wives;

yeast clump bears same kind of link to sin nature as Adam

1 Corinthians 5:6-8 | Unleavened bread as sincerity + truth matzo sweet without sourness

Ezekiel 19:4-6 | Revelation 7:2-3, 9:4

They did not put away leaven in order to be redeemed. Rather, they put away leaven because they were redeemed.

THE BLOOD ON THE DOOR

"Basin," the depression of the basin at the threshold

"Arthur Pink sees this as a picture of the suffering Messiah Himself: "Blood above where the thorns pierced His brow, blood at the sides, from His nail pierced hands; blood below, from His nail pierced feet"

Rev 9:4 tortured for 5 months?

"Making the sign of a bloody cross"

John 10: 9 | Hebrew 11:10 "Architect and builder is God. 

Then I spoke with Alexa at The Brew.
