God makes all things new to those He calls to Himself. But that dreadful night, all were asked to come to God's terms, not their own terms. Same for the day that we live for---we shall answer the greatest question ever asked of us. May we live for God's terms not ours.
And the scene in these verses is this: Three days and three nights in the horror by darkness. Penultimate plague of thick darkness symbolizes judgment and abandonment as in Matthew 27:45, God why have you forsaken Me? Exodus 10:22-23 Yet, the light broke a far more terrible calamity----their first-born struck by a plague that reached from the heights of the castles to the depths of the dungeons. No one was exempt. And that's how it will be on The Last Day. May we live on God's terms this day.
" “This is what the Lord, the God of the Hebrews, says: ‘How long will you refuse to humble yourself before me?"

My prayer today:
LORD, help me to have a humbled heart before you. Help me to listen to your desires and direction for my life. Do not let me have a hardened heart.
