#passover Patterns:

→God slowly sets the stage then gives His enemies numerous opportunities to repent. When everyone has chosen sides & guilt is established, God moves quickly.
→God's people endure extended tribulation at the hands of the world.
→God's people suffer some of His wrath alongside the world which persecuted them, but they are protected from the full brunt of His wrath.
→When God's wrath has peaked, the world surrenders & He leads His people to freedom.
→Every stage of God's salvation requires faith. God's people don't get to skip tribulation. They must suffer some plagues & witness the rest. Unfortunately, the end of the war is difficult to see from the trenches.
→The enemy always appears more powerful right up until his defeat. Victory requires faith.
→God's victory is certain and all of His enemies will be broken, yet His people still doubt.
→Ultimate salvation & healing occurs only in isolation from the world & complete reliance on YHVH.
