Exodus 12:29 says, And it came to pass, that at midnight the LORD smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto the firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon; and all the firstborn of cattle.  God delivered on His promise.  God had given Pharaoh and the Egyptians plenty of opportunities to let the Israelites go before this final plague, and God gives everyone an opportunity to repent and accept Christ today before the final judgment.  Verse thirty states, And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and all his servants, and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt; for there was not a house where there was not one dead.  Pharaoh and the Egyptians rose in the night with great anguish, because there was not any household that did not suffer the death of a family member.  Verse thirty-one declares, And he called for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, Rise up, and get you forth from among my people, both ye and the children of Israel; and go, serve the LORD, as ye have said.  Pharaoh had told Moses that the next time he came before him he would die, but Pharaoh called Moses and Aaron and told them to take the Israelites and go and serve God.  When we are freed from the bondage of sin it is so we can go and serve God.  Verse thirty-two adds, Also take your flocks and your herds, as ye have said, and be gone; and bless me also.  Pharaoh was no longer attempting to set conditions, and he also asked Moses and Aaron to bless him.  What he really needed to do was to ask God to forgive him.  Verse thirty-three declares, And the Egyptians were urgent upon the people, that they might send them out of the land in haste; for they said, We be all dead men.  The Egyptians were anxious for the people of Israel to leave, because they figured that if they didn't, they were going to die.  We should have that same urgency about coming to Christ today, because if we don't, we are spiritually dead forever.  Verse thirty-four states, And the people took their dough before it was leavened, their kneadingtroughs being bound up in their clothes upon their shoulders.  The people of Isael obeyed God's instructions, just as we must today.  Verse thirty-five adds, And the children of Israel did according to the word of Moses; and they borrowed of the Egyptians jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment:  Not only did they take the unleavened bread, but they borrowed gold and silver jewels and clothes from the Egyptians, as Moses and Aaron had instructed them to do.  They would never repay the Egyptians, just as we can never repay God for the gift of salvation and the things He blesses us with today.  Verse thirty-six declares, And the LORD gave the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they lent unto them such things as they required. And they spoiled the Egyptians.  Though the things loaned may have come from the Egyptians, it was God Who made it possible, just as He is behind all our blessings today.  Verse thirty-seven states, And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand on foot that were men, beside children.  About six hundred thousand Israelites left Egypt.  God was fulfilling His promise to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.  Verse thirty-eight adds, And a mixed multitude went up also with them; and flocks, and herds, even very much cattle.  There were others, a mixed multitude, who went with the Israelites, along with all their flocks and cattle.  This wasn't just a small group who were leaving.  Verse thirty-nine adds, And they baked unleavened cakes of the dough which they brought forth out of Egypt, for it was not leavened; because they were thrust out of Egypt, and could not tarry, neither had they prepared for themselves any victual.  The people ate the unlearned bread, because they had to leave too quickly to prepare anything else.  We are better off with unleavened bread following Christ than with the finest food in the world without Him.  Verse forty concludes, Now the sojourning of the children of Israel, who dwelt in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years.  The people of Israel had been in Egypt for four hundred and thirty years before God set them free.  No matter how long we have been in spiritual bondage, God stands ready to set us free.
