That\u2019ll separate the men from the boys. I hear this phrase when someone challenges another to a task. Men are generally stronger, hopefully wiser, more courageous, and sturdier than boys, simply because of life\u2019s growth cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The story in Exodus 11 and 12 writes about the onslaught of plagues when God is preparing his Passover across Egypt. His midnight visit will separate his Israelite men from those Egyptian boys. The Israelites are God\u2019s chosen people because they have a history of following their Leader. The Egyptians have a track record of running with crowds of worldly leaders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
