THE TENT

I. THE FIRST PENTECOSTAL DAY - In 1491 BC. Moses was grazing the flock of

Jethro, his father-in-law, at the foot of Mount Horeb, or Sinai. An angel appeared

unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush and ordained him to bring the

children of Israel out of Egypt.

Pharoah rebelled against the mission of Moses and great trouble came to Egypt.

God sent ten (10) plagues upon Egypt by the hand of Moses, one following the other.

When the proper time came for Israel to leave, God gave Moses full instructions

for making preparation to leave Egypt. They were to kill a lamb. “And they shall

take of the blood, and strike it on the two side posts, and on the upper door post of the

houses, wherein they shall eat it”, (Exodus 12:7).

The angel passed over the houses where the blood was sprinkled, but in the

houses of the Egyptians that did not have the blood, the first horn was slain. “For I

will pass through the land of Egypt this night and will smite all the first born in the

land of Egypt, both man and beast, and against all the gods of Egypt. 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”, (Exodus 1213,14).

2. THE PASSOVER - This feast was instituted by God to commemorate the deliverance

of the Israelites from Egyptian bondage and the sparing of their first-born when the

destroying angel smote the first-born of the Egyptians.

The Passover only applied to the Paschal Supper.

The Passover as a Type. The Passover was not only commemorative, but also a

type.
