There was a great cry in Egypt, for there was not a house where there was not one dead. Ex 12:30
When it comes to the death of the firstborn, most think about children or babies.
But even in my mid-50s I am still a firstborn.
Using my wife Linda as an example, if the firstborn in her family were killed she would lose her dad, mom, husband (me), our daughter, our granddaughter, her brother, a niece, her sister’s husband, a nephew, and great-niece.
Eleven of us would be gone leaving only 9 to carry on.
This same devastation will be a reality once again as families are ripped apart by the 2nd Death mentioned in Revelation 20; This is the second death. And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire. Rev 20:14-15
For those that never took Jesus as Savior, their fate is sealed and husbands will be separated from wives, brothers from sisters, parents from children.
There will be a great cry in heaven and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes. Rev 21:4
To miss this horrible occurrence all you have to do is what the Hebrews did in Egypt,
when He sees the blood … the LORD will pass over … and not allow the destroyer … to strike you. Ex 12:23
It is the blood of Jesus that can save you from death; you were not redeemed with corruptible things… but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot. 1 Peter 1:18-19
Let yourself be protected by the blood today, accept Jesus as your Savior.
