So What Is The Passover Story, Really?
Calling ALL Modern-Day Esthers, Have you taken time to learn about Passover? Passover is coming up this month. We want to encourage ALL our Esthers to spend time preparing for this holiday. Here is the story's overview!
Overview: Long ago, the Israelites were enslaved by the Egyptian pharaohs for many years. During their slavery, God’s people were focused to hard physical labor and unimaginable horror. They pledged to God and in response, God sent Moses. Moses went to the Pharaoh with a very well-known message, “Send forth My people, so that they may serve Me.” Arrogantly, the Pharaoh refused God’s demand. As a result, God send the ten plagues upon Egypt. The land and people were greatly affected.
As the clock hit midnight of 15 Nissan in the year 2448 from creation (1313 BCE),God’s last plague hit Egypt. He would kill all their first-born children. However, He showed mercy to His children. Their homes would be passed over. This is where the name “Passover” comes from. Finally, the Pharaoh gave into God’s command. He focused God’s people out of his land and ventured to Mount Sinai.
