Exodus 11:4 And Moses said, thus saith the Lord, about midnight will I go out into the midst of Egypt.
When the children of Israel were about to be freed from Egyptian bondage, we see Him coming at night for the big one, that would trigger an urgent plea on the part of pharaoh, and his underlings, for them to let the Hebrews leave in a hurry. Again, when God came down upon mount Sinai to give us His law, He was again enshrouded in thick darkness. And we can go on and on and on, but the bottom line is that for numerous important events, Jesus has been known to come at night, or in thick darkness. Let us take a few passages of Scripture to confirm, before we move on.
Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. 3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. 4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. 5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
Exodus 11:4 And Moses said, thus saith the Lord, about midnight will I go out into the midst of Egypt. 5 And all the firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die, from the first born of Pharaoh that sits upon his throne, even unto the firstborn of the maidservant that is behind the mill; and all the firstborn of beasts. 6 And there shall be a great cry throughout all the land of Egypt, such as there was none like it, nor shall be like it any more.
Deuteronomy 4: 11 And you came near and stood under the mountain; and the mountain burned with fire unto the midst of heaven, with darkness, clouds, and thick darkness.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
