When God told Moses that death was coming to Egypt, and would pass over the homes who had the lambs blood on their posts, He was giving a prelude to His Son Jesus Christ.
Notice He didn't say the angel will look for homes of great workers, or wealthy businessmen, preachers, or anybody in particular and pass over He said those covered with the blood ,the blood of the lamb.
One day soon God will end what we know as this life for all of us, Jesus will return and those who are covered by the blood of the Lamb will be granted eternal life with Him, those who are not covered by the blood of the Lamb will suffer an eternity far worse than death.
Just like with Egypt and Pharaoh's courts everyone will be warned and given the opportunity to be covered by the blood will you listen and live, or will you reject and die?
They must take some of the blood and put it on the two doorposts and the lintel of the houses where they eat them. “I will pass through the land of Egypt on that night and strike every firstborn male in the land of Egypt, both man and beast. I am Yahweh; I will execute judgments against all the gods of Egypt. The blood on the houses where you are staying will be a distinguishing mark for you; when I see the blood, I will pass over you. No plague will be among you to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt.
Exodus 12:7, 12-13 HCSB
For you know that you were redeemed from your empty way of life inherited from the fathers, not with perishable things like silver or gold, but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without defect or blemish. He was chosen before the foundation of the world but was revealed at the end of the times for you who through Him are believers in God, who raised Him from the dead and gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.
1 Peter 1:18-21 HCSB
