EXO 12:29²⁹And it came to pass, that at midnight the Lord smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto the firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon; and all the firstborn of cattle. (Exodus 12:29)

About midnight will I go out into the midst of Egypt. Exodus 11:4⁴And Moses said, Thus saith the Lord, About midnight will I go out into the midst of Egypt: (Exodus 11:4)

At midnight the Lord smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt.

Exodus 12:29²⁹And it came to pass, that at midnight the Lord smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto the firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon; and all the firstborn of cattle. (Exodus 12:29)

The most heartbreaking judgment fell on the Egyptians at midnight. There was not one house where there was not one dead. Not one Egyptian household had taken advantage of the blood of the slain lamb. And every house lost one person. But the worst is yet to come. At the midnight of our age not just one person but all unbelievers in each family will be taken for judgment. Are you prepared? Have you taken Jesus as your Savior?
