The Second 1000 years - was dominated by Noah and several momentous events including the rise of Egypt, the first World Empire, and the World population rising to 100 million. During this time the Earth's Landmass was divided into continents and islands ... Genesis 10:25 Multiple languages were introduced at the Tower of Babel. .Nimrod ruled as both king and priest of the Babylonian Mystery religion.and bore the title "Pontifex Maximus" or "Supreme Pontiff," meaning "supreme pathfinder" or "bridge maker," representing "the path or connection between this life and the next."
The Third 1000 years - The third thousand years in the Bloodline of Jesus covers Abraham, the Father of Judaism and Christianity and claimed by Mohammadanism as well, the rise of the Empire of Babylon and the Exodus from Egypt led by Moses. Before Israel entered into the Promised Land (which earlier had been promised to Abraham) Moses told the Jews "The Lord would raise up another Prophet just like himself out of their midst and that the Jews should listen to Him" John the Baptist was asked "are you that Prophet ?" .. John 1:21 , Acts 3 :22-23... "That Prophet" was Jesus the Messiah!
We also see the institution of the Passover Lamb which saved the people from the Angel of Death and set them free from bondage. Later we see the Tabernacle sacrifice of an innocent Lamb to die as a substitute for sin. When John the Baptist first saw Jesus 1500 years later, he said "Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the whole world." John 1:29 The first Passover ( Galatians 3:17 ) occured on the 430th anniversary of the promise God gave to Abraham "I will make you a great nation. I will bless you and make your name great and you shall be a blessing and in thy seed shall all families of the earth be blessed" Genesis 12:2-3, 6-7 & Exodus 12:41. The Apostle Paul tells us plainly "that seed was Jesus the Messiah" Galatians 3:16

When the angel of Death passed over the land of Egypt due to Pharaoh's "hardened heart" and just prior to the children of Israel leaving their bondage under the leadership of Moses. A male lamb, without spot or blemish was killed. The lamb had to be "roasted." This had to be completed prior to the Passover evening Not one bone in its body was broken. The lamb was roasted with fire and then eaten with bitter herbs. The blood of the lamb was to be painted on the doorposts and the lintels. This blood covering saved Israel from the Angel of Death... Exodus 12:21-28 |
On Good Friday "Jesus the Messiah became our Passover" ..1 Corinthians 5: 7 and His Blood applied to our hearts protects us from spiritual Death or Eternity in Hell.
