Easter Exodus
[Reading Exodus 10:21ff., it occurred to me that the 9th and 10th plagues displayed some intriguing correspondences to Jesus’ death on the Cross—of which the exodus is, of course, a typological foreshadow.]
Three days of dark, and deathly silence.
Sacrificed lambs and blood-sprinkled posts.
Striking of firstborns, the last divine blow:
deliverance secured, a plundered pharaoh.
Three hours of Dark, and Divine silence.
Sacrificed Lamb and blood-sprinkled Post.
Striking of Firstborn, the ultimate blow:
Deliverance secured, Hell plundered below.
