This was a night when ADONAI kept vigil to bring them out of the land of Egypt, and this same night continues to be a night when ADONAI keeps vigil for all the people of Isra’el through all their generations.
Yahveh keeps a vigil for His people when He delivers them from bondage (including the bondage of sin). This must be why people have the amazing experiences they do when they truly repent and turn to Him. It just makes me say, "Wow!" and I fall in love all over again with my Creator who saves and delivers me.
“And in despair I bowed my head;
"There is no peace on earth," I said;
"For hate is strong,
And mocks the song

the Right prevail,
With peace on earth, good-will to men!”

“I heard the bells on Christmas Day
Their old, familiar carols play,
And wild and sweet
The words repeat
