Yes, there's much to learn about the types of 'passovers'. We don't celebrate as they did before leaving Egypt, or as one of the 3 types of feasts that required presence in Jerusalem. Now that He is risen, should we not celebrate differently? North's p. 170 of Exodus 1 is significant. Says we should use honey in communion. I wonder, maybe firsh? Exodus, Vol. 1: Authority and Dominion
Gary NorthPrinter-Friendly Format
The Book of Exodus is the Bible's premier book on liberation from tyranny.
This is a three-part commentary. The overall title is Authority and Dominion. The fundamental issue that it covers is covenantal hierarchy: in church, family, and state.
Volume 1 was originally titled Moses and Pharaoh. It was published in 1985. The updated version is titled Representation and Dominion. It is the account of two representative figures: Moses and Pharaoh.
The book covers the great confrontation, beginning with the murderous Pharaoh of the oppression, who practiced infanticide for males. He stands in contrast to Asians today, who practice infanticide for females.
He enslaved the Hebrews. They remained in bondage for 80 years.
At the end of his period, Moses challenged this top-down bureaucracy. It was a war to the death. Pharaoh died. So did the firstborn males of Egypt.
This is the story of bureaucratic regimentation vs. social liberation. It has remained the supreme story of liberty vs. tyranny in Western culture.
