WHERE WRATH AND MERCY MEET - In Exodus 12, we see that Israel is delivered from the tyranny of Egypt. The first nine plagues were automatically selective in falling on Egypt and not on Israel. However, with the last plague - the one that finally forces Pharaoh to let the Israelites leave - isn’t delivered selectively at all. It is by the Blood of the Lamb that the Israelites are saved from God's wrath, proving further that no one can escape God's wrath by any personal claim at all.
