3Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for an house:

7 And they shall take of the blood, and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses, wherein they shall eat it.

“A type must never be used to teach a doctrine, but only to illustrate a doctrine elsewhere explicitly taught.” – Dr. J. Edwin Hartill

The Passover

“To set forth the great truth of the whole Bible, the deliverance of man from the bondage and slavery to sin and the world.”  - Dr. Tom Wallace, Digest of the Old Testament.

“But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,”- Eph 2:4
