| Exod. 12:22-23 |
"And you shall take a bunch of hyssop, dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and strike the lintel and the two door posts with the blood that is in the basin. And none of you shall go out of the door of his house until morning. For the Lord will pass through to strike the Egyptians and when He sees the blood on the lintel and on the two doorposts, the Lord will pass over the door and not allow the destroyer to come into your houses to strike you."
 Note: The Lord provided safety for His people through the blood of a lamb when they came out of Egypt, but they had to be obedient and do their part. |

"So it was, when all the kings of the Amorites who were
on the west side of the Jordan, and all the kings of the Canaanites who were by
the sea, heard that the Lord had dried up the waters of the Jordan from before
the children of Israel until we had crossed over, that their heart melted; and
there was no spirit in them any longer because of the children of Israel. |
| 1 Sam. 17:47 |
"Then all this assembly shall know that the Lord does
not save with sword and spear; for the battle is the Lord's, and He will give
you into our hands." |
| 2 Chr. 16:8-9 |
"Were the Ethiopians and the Lubim not a huge army
with very many chariots and horsemen? Yet, because you relied on the Lord, He
delivered them into your hand. For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro
throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose
heart is loyal to Him..." |
| 2 Chr. 20:15 |
"and he said, 'Listen, all you of Judah and you
inhabitants of Jerusalem, and you, King Jehoshaphat! Thus says the Lord to you:
"Do not be afraid nor dismayed because of this great multitude, for the battle
is not yours, but God's." ' " |
| Job. 33:31-33 |
"Give ear, Job, listen to me;
Hold your peace, and I
will speak.
If you have anything to say, answer
me;
Speak, for I desire to
justify you.
If not, listen to me;
*Hold your peace (keep silent), and I will
teach you wisdom."
Note: The young Elihu challenges Job to help him undersand God's sovereignty. |
| Isa. 26:20-21 |
"Come, my people, enter your
chambers,
And shut your doors behind you:
Hide yourself, as it were, for a little
moment,
Until the indignation is past.
For behold, the Lord comes out of His
place
To punish the inhabitants of the earth
for their iniquity;
The earth will also disclose her blood,
And will no more cover her slain."

Note: When the Lord comes back in these end times He will still be fighting for His people. It will be His perfect sacrifice that covers the sins of all the earth. But we must still be obedient and keep Him as our constant focus in these difficult times. |
| 1 Cor. 14:34 |
"Let your women keep silent in the churches, for they
are not permitted to speak; but they are to be submissive, as the law also says."
Note: Exod. "...hold your peace." (Lit. be quiet), Job's "Hold your peace," (keep silent), and 1 Cor.'s "...keep silent..." all mean the same thing, but were translated different. The fact is that God wants all His peopple to be at peace, both men and women.
