In the present time we see bloodshed all around us. People have become so barbaric that they do not hesitate to take the life of another human being without a hint of guilt or sorrow.
Long ago during the Old Testament time, there was one such king who was very barbaric and wicked. He was the Pharaoh of Egypt. This happened approximately around 1440 BC.
The then Pharaoh wanted to keep the Israelites as slaves so he was not letting them go. Whereas, Moses the great leader of the Jewish people under the instruction of God requested Pharaoh to let the people go but to no avail. The Pharaoh was adamant and stubborn. Instead he increased the hardship over the Jewish people. He made the lives of Jews very miserable.
One day, God commanded Moses to lead the people out of Egypt as He Himself would fight against the Pharaoh. God wanted to bring punishment to the Pharaoh and his people and save the oppressed Jews. God wished to rescue and deliver the Jews and lead them out of Egypt. So a stage was set.
Through Moses, God instructed that in order to be delivered and saved by God, one had to carry out certain steps. Every person had to take a lamb for his family. The animal should be a year old, without defect. They must slaughter it and take some blood and put it on the door frames of the houses. That same night, God’s angel passed through the streets and struck those people of the houses which did not have the mark of the blood. The people living in houses which were stained with blood were safe and secure. Later, the Pharaoh was so upset and sorry that he set the Jews free. Infact it was God who rescued His people from bondage and the mark of the blood saved those who obeyed His instructions.
This is a true event which took place many years ago, but the lesson remains the same: those who obey God and are marked by the blood of Jesus are safe always.

I totaly agree whit you!
This part of Bible, is full with stories about possible distruction of Jewish people. In fact all the nations maybe, at a time of History were very close of distructoin. But where are the great nations of the Earth that build their great civilisations? The Romans, The Mongols, Maya, Aztec and Inca? The nations of the Earth apear and disapear, but their inheritance are still remaning
