Yeshua never checked who was inside the building and whether they were worthy of saving. He checked for the blood of the Lamb on the doorposts. Are our doorposts covered in His blood? Does He have you covered?

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

What does this mean to you?
In the time of Moses, those loyal to YHWH offered a zebah; and they put the blood on their doorposts.
Thereafter YHWH dwelt in a house that those in covenant had made for him.
In the time of Yahshua, YHWH offered a zebah; and Yahshua is the door.
YHWH is calling those in covenant, to dwell in his house.

I've been giving this subject a lot of thought; and I know you to be a very deep thinker.
Another part of this thought, is that I believe that the blood that was on the doorposts were the making of a threshold covenant. The head of the household would make such a covenant to someone who he invited into his home, and give them protection as his own family.
I made note of some information regarding this subject here:
YHWH's Table (Part 8A)
I find this verse from the story of Lot and the messengers to be very interesting:
(CLV) Gn 19:3
But he urged them so intensely that they turned in with him and entered his house. He made a feast for them and baked unleavened bread, and they ate.
Lot went all out to protect these messengers that he had invited into his home.
Interestingly, in the story of Moses, YHWH was telling his people to kill the god of the Egyptians, and to smear the blood of their god on their doorposts, right in front of them. Moses wanted to go away to do this; but YHWH really put their trust in him to a test.
That said, I've begun to set the stage to pick your brain.
In addition to all the rest of what we can gather from that event, the blood was to protect only the firstborn of each house from the death angel. What do you suppose that might mean, especially in relationship to the other information that was presented?
The more I dig for the meaning of his word, the more I realize that I've only scratched the surface.
