Read the Bible in a Year Today Read Exodus 12 and 13 The Lord and the Destroyer Where do people get the idea that the death angel passed over the homes of the Israelites in Egypt? Read what the Bible says, 23 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 (Exo. 12:23). The Bible says that the LORD passed over the Israelites and He did not allow the destroyer to enter their homes. This bit of information is not given so that you may say to people, who mention the death angel, that they are wrong. It is not that you may be arrogant and self-righteous, but see it as an opportunity to teach. In gentleness, simply say what the Bible says. This will open doors later for further teaching.
