The Passover and the Fear of Death

Spread the love

Consider the following verses:

The L-RD said to Moses and Aaron, “This month shall be for you beginning of months. It shall be the first month of the year for you….”
Exodus 12:1-2

So, the L-RD promised a new time line for Israel, and a feast to be celebrated every year at the same time.
Now look at the following:

“Is it because there are no graves in Egypt that you have taken us away to die in the wilderness?”
From Exodus 14:11

So, considering Exodus 12 and 13, the L-rd told the children of Israel that this month was the start of a new time line for them, and, from Chapter 14, we see, yet, that they were obsessed with believing they were going to die in the desert.
When Father, the G-d of all Time, commands you to annually celebrate a feast, and tells you what any part of your future looks like, and he commands you to celebrate in the land where you are going, then if you have set it in your mind that death is your portion, then you have evidently and indeed begun to demonstrate you didn’t understand the implications of that command.
Wrapped up in the command to celebrate is the truth that you are going to last and live another year, and it means you will not die within the next 365 days.
If G-d intends you to celebrate Him every year forever, then that implies He has made provision to keep you alive for at least another year.
Gang, if He promises us something, a new time line, then let us, no matter how much pain we are in now and what we may not be able to see with the natural eyes, see with the eyes of the spirit and move into the new season and not complain about or obsess over death.
