Why Observe the Passover? - George L Johnson - March 1974

George L Johnson

THE following account is paraphrased from Exodus, chapters 7-13: The spring of 1486 B.C. was unlike any previous spring in Egyptian history. Nature seemed to have gone crazy. The Nile, life-giving river of Egypt, turned into a flood of blood. Fish died by the millions. The stench from the river and dying fish filled the land. Then swarms of frogs, flies, locusts and lice plagued the land. Terrifying hail and thunder storms destroyed what little of the crops the insects had missed. Millions of cattle died of a mysterious disease. Even more remarkable, a strange, eerie darkness blanketed the land for three days. Terror gripped the population. One of the world's most advanced and prosperous nations was in a state of collapse. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
