"A Pane in the Window"

Proverbs 4:23 Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life.2 Chronicles 35:18-19 [18] Never since the time of the prophet Samuel had there been such a Passover. None of the kings of Israel had ever kept a Passover as Josiah did, involving all the priests and Levites, all the people of Jerusalem, and people from all over Judah and Israel.2Chr 35:19 This Passover was celebrated in the eighteenth year of Josiah's reign.What is the Passover?Exodus 11:1-10 NLT[1] Then the LORD said to Moses, I will strike Pharaoh and the land of Egypt with one more blow. After that, Pharaoh will let you leave this country. In fact, he will be so eager to get rid of you that he will force you all to leave.2] Tell all the Israelite men and women to ask their Egyptian neighbors for articles of silver and gold.[3] (Now the LORD had caused the Egyptians to look favorably on the people of Israel. And Moses was considered a very great man in the land of Egypt, respected by Pharaoh's officials and the Egyptian people alike.) [4] Moses had announced to Pharaoh, This is what the LORD says: At midnight tonight I will pass through the heart of Egypt. 5] All the firstborn sons will die in every family in Egypt, from the oldest son of Pharaoh, who sits on his throne, to the oldest son of his lowliest servant girl who grinds the flour. Even the firstborn of all the livestock will die. [6] Then a loud wail will rise throughout the land of Egypt, a wail like no one has heard before or will ever hear again. 7] But among the Israelites it will be so peaceful that not even a dog will bark. Then you will know that the LORD makes a distinction between the Egyptians and the Israelites. 8] All the officials of Egypt will run to me and fall to the ground before me. 'Please leave!' they will beg. 'Hurry! And take all your followers with you.' Only then will I go!" Then, burning with anger, Moses left Pharaoh. [9] Now the LORD had told Moses earlier, "Pharaoh will not listen to you, but then I will do even more mighty miracles in the land of Egypt." 10] Moses and Aaron performed these miracles in Pharaoh's presence, but the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he wouldn't let the Israelites leave the country.This Passover contained specific instructions regarding preparation, and cooking, of the bread and the meat. Eating and disposal of leftover lamb. The blood from the lamb would be painted or marked on both sides of the door and above it. When God passed through at midnight, he would bypass all homes with the blood of the lamb on it. These homes were the homes of the Israelites.All others, which we know are the homes of the Egyptians, as stated in verse 5👇🏽5] All the firstborn sons will die in every family in Egypt, from the oldest son of Pharaoh, who sits on his throne, to the oldest son of his lowliest servant girl who grinds the flour. Even the firstborn of all the livestock will die. 2Ch 34:3  For in the eighth year of his reign, while he was yet young, he began to seek after the God of David his father: and in the twelfth year he began to purge Judah and Jerusalem from the high places, and the groves, and the carved images, and the molten images. 2 Chronicles 34:21 "Go to the Temple and speak to the LORD for me and for all the remnant of Israel and Judah. Inquire about the words written in the scroll that has been found. For the LORD's great anger has been poured out on us because our ancestors have not obeyed the word of the LORD. We have not been doing everything this scroll says we must do." 2 Chronicles 34:23 She said to them, "The LORD, the God of Israel, has spoken! Go back and tell the man who sent you, [24] 'This is what the LORD says: I am going to bring disaster on this city and its people.
