In this Bible study on Exodus 12 and 13, Les Feldick explores the deep spiritual lessons behind the Israelites' departure from Egypt. Discover why God instructed them to use "hyssop" to apply the blood (a picture of the Holy Spirit) and how the "mixed multitude" that left with them caused problems later on—just as unsaved people can cause division in the church today.
Les also explains why God led Israel the long way around to the Red Sea instead of the short route, the supernatural nature of the pillar of cloud and fire, and how the "spoiling of Egypt" was actually God providing back wages for years of slavery.
