In the book of Exodus (chapter 12) we read the story of the first Passover kept by Israel signifying their being rescued by God from bondage in Egypt. Most are pretty familiar with the story - God is going to send the death angel, the Israelites have to mark their doors with the blood of a lamb to be spared the plague, and, through their believing loyalty, God leads them to freedom.

What's absolutely crazy about this storied pattern is that, just a few books later (in Joshua 2) we get the story of Rahab protecting the spies that have come to scout out Jericho, as well as their subsequent promise of protection to her, which actually holds nearly ALL of these same story elements.

In analyzing the specific wording of the text, we can see that the biblical authors were trying to draw our attention to something amazing that had happened to Israel, that was also able to be salvific for Gentiles! Anyone who wants to say that God didn't have the salvation of the whole world in mind from the beginning need only to read these accounts that SO MANY read past, and see what an awesome thing God was signifying.
