== | ==La Pascua, el sello de Dios== | ||
El sello de Dios es una señal para salvar al pueblo de Dios del último desastre. La Pascua es la verdad que nos salva de los desastres. Su nombre significa que los desastres pasan por encima. Recibe el nombre de ''Pésaj (פֶּסַח)'' en hebreo y ''Pascha (πασχα)'' en griego. Ambos términos significan que los desastres pasan por encima. | |||
Desde su origen, hace 3500 años, la Pascua se ha prometido como una señal de redención de los desastres. Mientras los cuatro ángeles sostienen los vientos de los cuatro ángulos de la tierra, Dios pone el sello en la frente de los santos para salvarlos de los desastres inminentes. Aquí, el sello también se refiere a la Pascua. | |||

En el siglo {{작은 대문자|xv}} a. C., el pueblo de [[Israel]] vivía en esclavitud en Egipto. Para liberarlos, Dios provocó el gran desastre de la destrucción de los primogénitos en todo Egipto. No obstante, hizo que los israelitas sacrificaran corderos al anochecer del día catorce del primer mes (según el calendario sagrado) y pusieran su sangre en los dos postes y en el dintel de las casas antes que ocurriera el desastre. Esta es la primera Pascua. | |||

La promesa de la Pascua, por la cual los desastres pasan por encima, no se limita al tiempo del [[Éxodo]]. La Pascua también fue efectiva en el tiempo de Ezequías unos ochocientos años después del Éxodo. Ezequías fue el decimotercer rey del reino de Judá en el sur. Tras la división del reino unificado de Israel en el reino de Israel en el norte y el reino de Judá en el sur, la Pascua no se celebró durante mucho tiempo. Tan pronto como el rey Ezequías accedió al trono, hizo reparar el templo arruinado<ref>{{cita web |url=https://live.bible.is/bible/SPAR60/2CH/29 |título=2 Crónicas 29:2–3 |cita= }}</ref> and decided to keep the Passover by the admonition of the prophet [[Isaiah]].<ref>{{cita web |url=https://live.bible.is/bible/SPAR60/2CH/30 |título=2 Crónicas 30:2 |cita= }}</ref> He sent couriers to both South Judah and North Israel, inviting them all to keep the Passover. The people of North Israel had not celebrated the Passover for more than 250 years since the first King Jeroboam set up idols and led the people to worship them.<ref>{{cita web |url=https://live.bible.is/bible/SPAR60/1KI/12 |título=1 Reyes 12:25–29 |cita=}}</ref> Since they did not know about the Passover, they mocked and ridiculed the couriers.<ref>{{cita web |url=https://live.bible.is/bible/SPAR60/2CH/30 |título=2 Crónicas 30:1–10 |cita= }}</ref> Eventually, only the people of South Judah and some of the people of North Israel, who humbly accepted the words of the couriers, gathered in Jerusalem to celebrate the Passover.<ref>{{cita web |url=https://live.bible.is/bible/SPAR60/2CH/30 |título=2 Crónicas 30:11–12 |cita=}}</ref><br>Three years later, the Assyrian army surrounded Samaria, the capital of the northern Kingdom of Israel. Assyria was a powerful kingdom that conquered the Mediterranean coast and part of Asia Minor. Three years after the siege, Assyria captured [[Samaria]], killing millions of people and taking captive hundreds of thousands.<ref>{{cita web |url=https://live.bible.is/bible/SPAR60/2KI/17 |título=2 Reyes 17:4–6 |cita=}}</ref> Around 721 B.C., North Israel was completely destroyed.
