I, the Lord, speak the truth; I declare what is right.\"</em> </p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>God completed His creation with the formation of Adam and Eve. He placed them in paradise to live and care for His creation. He made them special, in His image, to be the managers of the earth and He gave them the freedom to choose how they would manage; through the fruit of a life connected to God which is named Life, or through the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil according to their own understanding which is named Death. They chose the later, Death, and separated from God and paradise to make their own creations in the wilderness. In their own wisdom, they covered themselves with leaves from their provision for protection. God, in His wisdom, covered them with animal skins, containers of life, for protection. An animal had to die as a sacrifice but that is what Adam and Eve chose - death.</li>\n</ul>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>Adam and Eve were fruitful and they multiplied. Cain followed the ways of his parents and naturally birthed a series of increasingly deadly and prideful generations.

That son fathered the generations that struck out into the wilderness and built Babylon, drew all the inhabitants of the earth to it, and through pride, started building a tower to lift men up equal to God and make a name in heaven for themselves. The Creator disrupted their plan by confusing their speech. This language barrier divided mankind into the nations of the earth.</li>\n</ul>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>God then took one man out of Babylon and made him a friend of God to eventually reconcile the scattered nations back to God. Abraham's descendants through Isaac and Jacob, the nation Israel, would be God's chosen people to be that vehicle of reconciliation for the nations.</li>\n</ul>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li><u><strong>Gen 15:12-21</strong></u> <em>As the sun was setting, Abram fell into a deep sleep and a thick a dreadful darkness came over him.

But I will punish the nation they serve as slaves, and afterwards they will come out with great possessions. You, however, will go to your fathers in peace and be buried at a good old age. In the forth generation your descendants will come back here, for the sin of the Amorites has not yet reached its full measure.\" When the sun had set and darkness had fallen, a smoking firepot with a blazing torch appeared and passed between the pieces. On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram and said, \"To your descendants I give this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the Euphrates</em>  --\"​</li>\n</ul>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>God is defining the place where He will establish His tower - His Name - His sovereignty. This is where He will draw all nations to come and humble themselves and be reconciled back to Him as managers in His kingdom - His creation.Then the confusion that divides the peoples of the earth can be removed and paradise can be restored.</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p>ALL:    Jehovah, Creator and Father of mankind, sets His people in place as planned and delivers them just as He had promised            Abraham.

But I took your father Abraham from the land beyond the River and led him throughout Canaan and gave him many descendants. I gave him Isaac, and to Isaac I gave Jacob and Esau. I assigned the hill country of Seir to Esau, but Jacob and his sons went down to Egypt'.\"</em> </p>\n\n<p>Jacob had many sons but his favorite son was Joseph. When the sons saw that their father loved Joseph the most, they hated Joseph. Joseph also had dreams of his brothers bowing down to him so they hated Joseph all the more. One day Jacob sent Joseph out to check on his brothers. His brothers stripped Joseph of the special robe his father made for him and sold him into slavery.</p>\n\n<p>In Egypt, Joseph prospered as a slave to one of Pharaoh's officials, but he was once again betrayed and was thrown into deeper bondage.</p>\n\n<p>Later, Pharaoh became offended with two of his officials so he threw them in prison with Joseph. Both officials had dreams which Joseph was able to interpret for them. One official was forgiven by Pharaoh and restored to his position and the other official was not forgiven but hanged to death, both just as Joseph had interpreted from their dreams.</p>\n\n<p>Then Pharaoh had a dream that bothered him so Joseph was called up from prison to interpret it for Pharaoh. As a result, Joseph was appointed Prime Minister of Egypt under Pharaoh.</p>\n\n<p>During a great famine Joseph's brothers came to Egypt to buy food. Joseph was the official in charge of food but his brothers did not recognize him. Joseph recognized them though. He gave them food but he also set them up to be charged as spies. He held one of them in prison until they brought their youngest brother Benjamin to Egypt.</p>\n\n<p>Jacob would not allow Benjamin to be taken to Egypt. Judah vowed to protect Benjamin and return him to his father alive. Jacob reluctantly surrendered to Judah and allowed him to take Benjamin to Egypt.</p>\n\n<p>Joseph again gave his brothers food but he set Benjamin up to be charged with stealing. Judah honored his vow to his father and offered to trade his life for Benjamin's.</p>\n\n<p>Joseph then revealed his identity to his brothers.

Then Pharaoh ordered the firstborn Hebrew males thrown into the river.</p>\n\n<p>To save her baby, one mother put her son afloat on the river in a basket. He was found by Pharaoh's daughter and was raised in the palace. His name was Moses.</p>\n\n<p>For 40 years Moses was raised as a prince of Egypt. One day he saw a taskmaster mistreating a Hebrew slave. Moses went to the slave's defense and struck down the taskmaster.

The fish died and the water was undrinkable. Next, frogs left the river, filled all the houses and died there. Then stinging gnats swarmed around the death in the land. Pharaoh promised to let God's people go after each plague but He did not do it.</p>\n\n<p>God now made a distinction between His people and Pharaoh's people. The rest of the plagues only fell on Pharaoh's people. Even though Pharaoh investigated and saw that the Hebrews did not suffer from these plagues, he refused to let God's people go. In this way, Egypt lost all the wealth they gained under Joseph.</p>\n\n<p>Now \"I AM\" brings the final plague where He demonstrates His power to , as He said earlier, stretch out His hand and wipe people off the face of the earth. Pharaoh judged the first born of the Hebrews should die to control their population and the Egyptians supported that judgement by executing it. Now that judgment falls on their heads too.</p>\n\n<p>God makes a distinction between Egypt (condemnation) and Israel (mercy and grace) through a sacrifice. Condemnation is fair when the condemned reap what they sow. Mercy is not based on fairness, it is based on loving kindness (grace) and the victim bears the cost of the sin as a sacrifice while the sinner escapes the judgment and fair consequence of their action. Sinful actions harm relationships and only grace can heal them. God's plan is restoration, redemption of the nations, so He chooses to forgive and appoints a Passover sacrifice.</p>\n\n<p>In Exodus 12 \"I AM\" said, <em>\"Tell the whole community of Israel that on the tenth day of this month each man is to take a lamb for his family, one for each household. All the people of the community of Israel must slaughter them at twilight. Then they are to take some of the blood and put it on the sides and the tops of the door frames of the houses where they eat the lambs. That same night they are to eat the meat roasted over the fire, along with bitter herbs, and bread made without yeast. It is My Passover. On that same night I will pass through Egypt and strike down every first born , both men and animals, and I will bring judgment on all the gods of Egypt. The blood will be a sign for you on the houses where you are and when I see the blood, I will pass over you.\"</em> </p>\n\n<p>The lamb committed no sin itself but was sacrificed as a symbol that \"I AM\", the victim of the sin of the nations, is willing to graciously forgive the sin against Him and forgo justice in order to restore relationship with mankind. The blood on the door is the sign that identifies God's redeemed people of faith who obeyed Moses' instructions.</p>\n\n<p>In Exodus 12 Moses said, <em>\"Obey these instructions as a lasting ordinance for you and your descendants. When you enter the land that the Lord will give you as he promised, observe this ceremony. And when your children ask you, ' What does this ceremony mean to you?', tell them, 'It is the Passover sacrifice of \"I AM\" who passed over the houses of the Israelites in Egypt and spared our homes when He struck down the Egyptians.\"\" </em> </p>\n\n<p>Having faith enough to recognize the sovereignty of\"I AM\", the creator of the universe and the father of mankind, is the turning point between life and death. To obey His commands is both to fear Him for His power and judgments and to love him for His mercy and loving kindness.</p>\n\n<p>Since the destruction of the Temple in 70 AD there have been no sacrifices of Passover lambs. The shank bone on the Seder plate reminds us of that freedom delivering sacrifice. Also on the plate is an egg, a symbol of new life. It reminds us of the joy experienced when a life is set free.</p>\n\n<p> <em>Lift the second cup</em> </p>\n\n<p>Let us remember and never forget, slaves we were to Pharaoh in Egypt. But the Lord our God brought us forth from there with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm. We therefore thank, praise, extol, honor, bless, glorify, exalt and revere Him who has wrought all these wonders for our ancestors and for us. Let us remember and never forget that He brought us forth from bondage to freedom, from sorrow to joy, from mourning to festivity, from servitude to freedom and from death to life. Hallelujah! Blessed are You, eternal Lord our God, king of the universe, creator of the fruit of the vine. Amen.</p>\n\n<p><strong><u>Exodus 12:33-36</u></strong></p>\n\n<p> <em>The Egyptians urged the people to hurry and leave the country. \"For otherwise,\" they said, \"we will all die!\" So the people took their dough before the yeast was added and carried it on their shoulders in kneading troughs wrapped in clothing. The Israelites did as Moses instructed and asked the Egyptians for articles of silver and gold and for clothing. The Lord had made the Egyptians favorably disposed toward the people, and they gave them what they asked for; so they plundered the Egyptians.</em> </p>\n\n<p>During an earlier famine the Egyptians had given all their possessions to Joseph for bread to live by. Now, again they give all their possessions for their lives but the bread for a freed people to live by is leaving with the bones of Joseph. This bread is the provision for life for those on their way to the promised land, the place where God's plan for the blessing of the nations is promised to Abraham. At the Last Supper, Jesus took this bread, gave thanks, broke it and passed it out to his disciples saying, \"Take and eat; this is my body.\"</p>\n\n<p> <em>Lift a piece of matzah</em> </p>\n\n<p>Blessed are You, our Father, our king, who nourishes the whole world in Your goodness with grace, with kindness and with mercy. You give bread to every creature for Your kindness is everlasting and by Your great goodness we never lacked. May we never lack food forever for Your great name's sake, for Messiah's sake, for You are a nourishing and providing God for all. You are gracious for all and You prepare food for all of the creatures You created. Blessed are You Lord who nourishes all.
