Redemption through the Blood comes up as the apex to the 10 judgments
of God upon the gods of Egypt. This culminates in the first of God's
great Feasts given to Israel as a type and shadow. It lays the
foundation for the Lord's Supper that came under the New Covenant
through Jesus - some 1500 years later.</span></span></font></p>
