Biblical Holiday & History of Passover in March and Early April
Biblical History on The Book of Exodus Chapter 12, Christian
Festival, Promises and an answered prayer for me. My reference
is taken from the King James Version of different Bibles that
you may see the reference at the end of this article.
Passover: A feast of the Jews in a call to remember/serve as a
memorial of the time when God, smiting the 1st born of the
Egyptians, passed over the dwelling/residence of the Hebrews
(Exodus 12).
Biblical History on The Book of Exodus:
The second Book of the Law or Pentateuch. It may be divided into
two prinicipal parts: (1) Historical and (2) Legislative.
A little history of the Exodus commences with the close of the
10 Plagues. At midnight, the first-born were slain. (Exodus
12:29). They at once set forth from Ramses (verse 37, 39) and
during the night (verse 42) going into the morning, on the 15th
day of the first month (Number 33:3).
They made three journeys and encamped by the Red Sea. ( The
prophecy of Isaiah has been fulfilled 11:15; 14:5).
This is where Pharaoh overtook them, and the great miracle
occurred by which they were saved, while the purser and his army
was destroyed.

CHRIST'S HUMAN FEELINGS & RELATIONSHIPS
I want to share something that happened with me I broke/chipped
off my back tooth while I was eating and I am very horrified of
needles.
So on last week I had told some friends what had happened and I
needed prayer for the work that was to be done.
We really did not know how the dental appointment would go on
yesterday (4/15/03) but I did wish to share this, we did not
know whether the tooth would/could be pulled or whether it would
have to be cut out.
But before leaving home I grabbed a prayer book and took with me
I will not worry you long but I just had to share this.
In the beginning of the book it starts off with a scripture from
John 15:5
When I read further in the book this is what I read next: This
is the place where He will share His heart with you and you will
know His will.
The last thing I read before the dentist came in was from: II
Samuel 22:7 In my distress I called upon the Lord, Yes, I cried
to my God; And from His temple He heard my voice, And my cry for
help (came) into His ears.
Now the dentist tells me Angela open your mouth, I did and she
used the instrument to touch all my teeth to see if when she
touched them did any more hurt and they did not.
Then she looked at me and said If we take this tooth out you are
really going to miss it, for you need it then she said I am
looking at talking with you about a root canal and crown but
first I need to put you on antibotics and I will also write you
a prescription for pain.
And In a way tears began to roll down my face...for I thought it
was not as bad as I had expected...thank God for answered
prayer.
