We understand that the Old Testament has many signposts that point forward in time to when Christ was to come.
For example, while there was a great battle, Moses was up high watching how it was going. …
Exodus 17:12-14 Good News Translation (GNT)
12 When Moses’ arms grew tired, Aaron and Hur brought a stone for him to sit on, while they stood beside him and held up his arms, holding them steady until the sun went down. 13 In this way Joshua totally defeated the Amalekites.
The image is of Moses on a rock, a man to his right, a man to his left, Moses’ arms outstretched. Go forward in time and there is Christ on the cross with arms stretched out, with the good thief and bad thief on his right and his left.
Why am I pointing this out?
In Advent we look to Christ’s second coming.
Do we have scripture in the Old Testament regarding his second coming? Yes we do.
The plagues of Egypt.
Right before the Israelites crossed the Red Sea on dry ground, and the army of Pharoah was obliterated, we have the plagues. Yes, that is the image of the future of Christ coming, and defeating the enemy, and bringing his people to the Promised Land.
We have, right before the liberation of the people of God, we have the death of the first born of Egypt.
The Israelites took an unblemished lamb and put it’s blood on the doorposts of their homes, and death passed them by.
Today we witness in a way never seen before in human history, the people of God marked with the blood of the Lamb, and the surrounding culture, which is sacrificing their first born to abortion. Death has indeed come to this culture. Indeed today we see all kinds of plagues and calamities. The first born of this culture is missing.
May Christ, King of the Universe, Come!
