What the Passover means for Christians
And if our Passover has been sacrificed, Jesus Christ, those who sacrifice Christ come out of Egypt and pass through the sea and will see Pharaoh drowned. But if some of them want to go back into Egypt, they will not enter the holy land (1 Corinthians 5:7) (Numbers 14:3–4) (Exodus 16:3) (Hebrews 3:11–19).
