Who was the destroyer that killed the firstborn in the first Passover (Exodus 12)? As I have listened to teachers and preachers teach on Israel’s exodus from Egypt and the many things surrounding the sprinkling of the blood on the door posts to protect the home from the destroyer, I am amazed at how many things are read into the story that are just not there. If we want to fully grasp the purpose God has for an event like Passover, we must first understand what the Bible teaches actually occurred. It has been a long time since we looked closely at Exodus 12 and the first Passover. Since the desire is always to answer the questions sent to me as accurately as possible, tonight we will go back to the account in Exodus so we can differentiate truth from fiction.
