Dear Diary - Lori Richardson - March-April 1983

Lori Richardson

Here is the story of a momentous spring thousands of years ago as if told by an eyewitness. I must hurry and write this before the sun sets. Many things have happened since I last wrote in this diary, so let me start at the beginning. I already wrote about the plagues that God cursed Egypt with except for the last one. This plague was so terrible that Pharaoh finally agreed to let us leave Egypt. All the firstborn were killed, both of people and of cattle. In order to escape this deadly curse, the Israelite families were instructed to kill a lamb and put its blood on our doorposts. Then the death angel would pass over us and the plague would not harm any of us inside the house. If we didn't do this, OUR firstborn would die too. Oh, how awful! Both Father and Michael would have been killed. I sure am glad I am an Israelite! - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
