Genesis is complete and I am currently reading the book of Exodus.  Thus far I have read the story of Moses, how God uses Moses, the first 9 plagues of Egypt, the tenth plague and Passover.  These are all stories I heard as a child but did not know, remember, the details or meaning behind these events.

Before I read about each one of these events I first asked myself what I knew about them already and then as I read cleared up any confusion or false ideas that I had on the situation.  The one event that I was not aware of nor understood was the Passover.  I am sure that I was exposed to the purpose and story of Passover as a child but as an adult have been completely ignorant on the event.  I was happy to finally understand what Passover was and how people celebrate it.

All I can say is I am glad I did not live during the Old Testament.  If you compare how people/followers of God had to prove their loyalty compared to what we do now, wow what a difference.  If I walked up to someone today and said that an Angel from God sent me to deliver a message, I would surely be locked up in an insane asylum.  With that being said at what point did people stop believing in and acting on the messages that God sends us to carry out and act upon?
