In this sermon, we examine the nature of the final judgement on the Egyptians, the death of the firstborn.  Scripture only gives us two verses describing this judgment when it happened.  Most of the time is spent on describing the purpose of the Passover Meal.  We study how the Hebrews had to be ready for this judgement, because everything in the Egyptian society would change.       In our society today, we know that God has been judging the United States for years.  How are Christians to prepare for God's judgments?  This sermon is especially relevant today.
