On the last day of Unleavened Bread, God symbolically baptized the children of Israel as they went down into the Red Sea during the night and stepped out of their watery grave the next morning. As they looked behind them in the dawn, hundreds of Egyptian soldiers and horses lay dead along the shore, and many others floated in the waves. They could literally see that God had destroyed those who had oppressed them for hundreds of years. The Egyptians would never again be able to afflict them in any way, as God had washed away and destroyed what had enslaved them. They were clean and free! Seeing this, the Israelites feared God and broke into a song of praise to the Lord.

The Feast of Unleavened Bread, as outlined in Exodus 12, is a week-long festival with the first day and the last day, the seventh day, designated as holy days for worship and teaching. These days commemorate the Israelites' release from Egyptian bondage. The first day specifically memorializes the initial steps out of Egypt on Nisan or Abib 15, when God, through Moses, led them out of Goshen at sunset, marking the beginning of their journey. The last day, the seventh day, also celebrates their coming out of Egypt, signifying the completion of their exodus. Though not explicitly stated in Scripture, it appears to represent the day they fully left Egypt, likely crossing the Red Sea after a six-day journey from Goshen. This crossing, occurring on the seventh day, symbolizes their final escape from Egyptian territory and the pursuing army, highlighting God's salvation as He opened a way through the sea, led them across, and destroyed their enemies. This event underscores the theme of salvation, illustrating how God intervenes to save His people from powerful adversaries, rendering their threats impotent. In a spiritual sense, this mirrors what Jesus Christ accomplished through His death and resurrection, opening a way to life and to the Father, far surpassing the physical deliverance at the Red Sea.
