Do you think this generation knows about the original passover? I am thinking about the time when the Hebrews were slaves in Egypt. God told them through Moses He would release them from their bondage through plagues on the Egyptians, so that the Egyptians would Let my people go!

The Destroyer was the last plague, which killed the first born in every house that did not believe in God. Those that believed in God demonstrated their belief by applying the blood of a lamb over their door posts. The Destroyer passed over the houses that had the blood of the lamb, but those that did not believe in God would not apply the blood, and the first born in their house died.

History repeats itself. Those that believe in God today will be spared. The blood of the Lamb is the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross. Those that believe on Him will be saved, and their actions in life show they believe, when they love one another.

God kinda does some really shitty things in the Bible.

Like what? I follow the Old Testament and I love it because the god of the Old Testament slaughters more scum than any other god ever described.

The judgments did not end in the time of the Old Testament. God is the same today as he has always been. The most death and destruction is yet to come, because the world has rejected God. Man does not value righteousness, love, or truth, so God will remove all that is his (the rapture) and the world will be plunged into darkness. Evil will rule for a short time. Man shall reap what he has sown. As when the Destroyer came to earth before, there will again be weeping and gnashing of teeth. The tribulations will be unlike anything seen before nor will ever be seen again. The only way to escape is through Jesus.
