What the PASSOVER really meant?

The PASSOVER was a supernatural event that took place in both: the SPIRIT WORLD and the VISIBLE WORLD. Others can say, in the unconscious and conscious worlds. The word itself means "OVERLEAPING."
The spirit world was disconnected from the world of reality (material world). In order to make the connection, it was necessary the sacrifice of an animal as a bridge between the worlds.
The Pharaoh, the ruler of the world of the flesh, did not believe in the power of GOD, because themselves were slaves to the things that the world offered them. They needed the Israelites to work for them because they held a special blessing and everything they did or touch were increased in a sort of revenue that put the Egyptians in a might's power position among the nations.
The PASSOVER was a commanding state of mind of the Israelite over the sinful state of the flesh, having the Angel of the Lord protecting the whole body of believers from the outside through the pillar of the cloud, as a first step to the preparation of the sacrifice that JESUS did, in order to ignite the flame of the divine spirit in us.
The apostle Paul urged the CHRISTIANS to live clear, transparent lives in order to maintain the flame of the divine spirit in us strong. He attributes pictorial significance to the PASSOVER.
He says: "For, indeed, CHRIST OUR PASSOVER has been sacrificed." 1 Cor.5:7. He likens CHRIST JESUS to the PASSOVER lamb. Certain features of the PASSOVER were fulfilled by JESUS.
One fulfillment lies in the fact that the blood on the houses IN Egypt (that means, even though we lives in the material world and work in the material world, the illusion of this world is not in the mind of the believer, the mind is set up in the invisible things) delivered the firstborn from destruction at the hands of the destroying angel. Paul speaks of anointed Christians as the congregation of the firstborn, and of Christ as their deliverer through his blood. No bones were to be broken in the PASSOVER lamb. It had been prophesied of Jesus and was fulfilled at his death,  correlating the initial desire of JOSEPH asking that his bones be transported from Egypt to the Promised Land.
The PASSOVER was the SHADOW of the things to come and pointed to JESUS CHRIST.
