Passover flew over you. As usual. They were to take a spotless lamb, their best one. That is the key. Kill it, but don't break its bones. It is foreshadowing you buffoon. And spread the blood over the door so the angel of death will pass over their house. It is foreshadowing.
God won't be looking at what they did. He will be looking to see whether they accepted or rejected what His Son did.

@Idolater, to your knowledge, do a lot (or any) of your fellow RCs take the so-called "prophecy of St. Malachy"/"Petrus Romanus" stuff seriously? I don't remember much from the meagre, desultory reading I've done on the subject over the years, but according to Wikipedia, at least, the "prophecy" ends with "Peter the Roman, who will pasture his sheep in many tribulations, and when these things are finished, the city of seven hills [i.e. Rome] will be destroyed, and the dreadful judge will judge his people. The End."
Apparently some people who take this "prophecy" seriously in some way or another, as though it really were truth about future events, claim that "Peter the Roman" was a reference to Francis I. I, personally, don't really know how all of that is imagined to work itself out or make sense, but something stood out to me as kind of poetic, or ironic, against the idea of the city of Rome getting destroyed at the end of the career of this "Petrus Romanus" -- if "Petrus Romanus" were really supposed to be a reference to the late Francis: viz., the fact that the date of Francis' death is the anniversary of the traditional date of the founding of Rome, on 21 April 753 B.C.
