The Egyptian army was called the "death angel" because they were serving the Pharoah. The army was going to kill every first born son of the Jews because they would grow up to be an army that the Jews would use against Egypt.
When the army entered to Jews house they murdered the oldest sons and took blood and spread it above the door to signal other Egyptian soldiers that the oldest sons in that house was already dead.
The Israelites put lambs blood on their door to confuse the egyptian army and make them believe that other Egyptian soldiers had already been to that house.

Friend, you have it confused. God commanded Jews to put the lamb blood on the doors in order for the ANGEL OF DEATH to pass over them, not the Egyptian Army. The Angel of Death killed all the first born from the animals to the people including Pharaoh's first son.

My answer is, that God send plagues to Egypt to make Pharaoh understand that he has to release the israelites from slavery. The last plague was the so call "angel of death" who would kill only the first born of the Egyptians, but not the first born of the israelites. So, God commanded the israelites to sacrifice a lamb and put its blood on top of the door as signal for the "angel of death" no to kill the first born of that house. Therefore just the first borns of the israelites were saved but not of the Egyptians, including, pharaoh s first born, who was killed. Pharaoh then agreed to free the israelites. Juan Gonzalez

Interesting idea....but of the "angel of death" was the army only sent to kill the Israelites in the land of Goshen, then who was the "death angel" killing all the egyptian first born, including the cattle, miles away in Egypt itself?
Nice try, but it fails to line up with the rest of the information in the text. But it is one of the more original attempts I have seen in a while....

YOU have started out with every piece of your information WRONG. I am ONLY trying to help you, BUT you need to go back and READ this over IF even you have read it the first time. By the way, THAT WAS the VERY FIRST SYMBOLIC PASSOVER before Christ came and became OUR Passover Lamb slaughtered for us, and defeating Death, Hell, and the Grave, (Satan) If you would like help and need information email me and I will try to help you, but you have a long way to go. I will be there for you though IF you want to learn Gods Word.

The Blood of the Lamb is already covering the lives of His faithful ones. He knows us already.

Sounds like you got the story wrong, I would like to know what factual evidence you have to back up your reasoning. Why then was Pharoah's oldest son killed? And the oldest male animals?

Are you asking a question or merely offering you take on why this was done?
