The Spiritual Realities of The Passover Service
- Jesus Christ (Yeshua the Messiah) is the true Passover Lamb.
- All who put their faith in him and apply his life-saving blood to their souls will be saved.
- John 1:
29: “The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.” - John 6:
54: “Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day...”
56: “He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.”
- Galations 3:
26:“For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.
27: For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
28: There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
29: And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.” - Romans 2:
29: “But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.”
- Instead the New Covenant emblems of unleavened bread and wine have been authorized by Him. (Jesus Christ - Yeshua the Messiah)
- Matthew 26:
26: “And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body.
27: And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;
28: For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.
29: But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom.” - Luke 22:
19: “And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.
20: Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.”
6: “And ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month: and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening...”
18: “In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at even, ye shall eat unleavened bread, until the one and twentieth day of the month at even.”
- Strictly speaking Jerusalem (Israel) is the Passover site:
- During the millennium it will again be the place to congregate for Yahweh’s feasts.
- In this age, however, the Passover may be celebrated anywhere on earth:
- Even in a private home if needs be.
- We have the Saviour’s guidance on this.
- Deuteronomy 16:
2: “Thou shalt therefore sacrifice the Passover unto the LORD thy God, of the flock and the herd, in the place which the LORD shall choose to place his name there...”
5: “Thou mayest not sacrifice the passover within any of thy gates, which the LORD thy God giveth thee:
6: “But at the place which the LORD thy God shall choose to place his name in, there thou shalt sacrifice the passover at even, at the going down of the sun, at the season that thou camest forth out of Egypt.” - John 4:
19: “The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.
20: Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.
21: Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.
22: Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.
23: But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
24: God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.”
- If even two or three true believers are present the Spirit of Yahweh will be there.
- Matthew 18:
20: “For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.”
- Consists of hymns, prayers, scripture readings and spiritual exhortations of what the Saviour did to save humanity.
- Suggested readings are as follows: (Exodus 12 & 13, Isaiah 53, John 13 to 19, 1 Corinthians 11: 23-34, Matthew 26 & 27).
- The men present should take turns in reading selected passages.
- The pastor or elders should lead out, asking Yahweh's blessing on the bread and the wine.
- Should be carried out before the Passover emblems are taken.
- John 13:
6: “Then cometh he to Simon Peter: and Peter saith unto him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet?
7: Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter.
8: Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me.
9: Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head.
10: Jesus saith to him, He that is washed needeth not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean, but not all.”
- It symbolizes the washing away of sins and grievances against God and one another which have accumulated during our walk on the dusty road of life.
- He that is ‘washed’ (baptized) by immersion doesn't need to be re-baptized:
- But does need this service performed each Passover to be ‘clean every whit.’
- The men and women should separate for this part of the service: each man washing another man's feet and each woman washing another woman's feet.
- Should Christians keep the feet-washing service? The answer is YES we should. The Master’s instructions are as follows:
- John 13:
14: “If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another’s feet.
15: For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you.”
- They represent the Saviour’s broken body and shed blood.
- Leavened bread (bread made with yeast) should not be used; because leaven is a symbol of sin, and the Saviour was sinless - unleavened.
- See recipe for making unleavened bread.
- All new covenant Israelites, that is all true believers in Jesus (Yeshua) should eat the bread and drink the wine.
- By doing so we symbolically apply the Saviour’s blood to the lintel of our souls - the mind. When a true believer partakes of the wine he/she may be sure that just as the blood stream will carry the qualities of the wine to every capillary in the body, so too will the blood of the Saviour reach the very extremities of his body - the church: And bring it life, health, power, beauty and warmth. This is an important truth that all must understand. How true is the old hymn which says - There is power in the blood of the Lamb!
- John 6:
53: “Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.
54: Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.
55: For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
56: He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.” - 1 Corinthians 11:
23: “For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread:
24: And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.
25: After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.
26: For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come.
27: Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.
28: But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.
29: For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.
30: For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.”
- True believers should watch and pray that they enter not into temptation. A fearsome testing time called the ‘Hour of Temptation’ is coming upon the world, when everything that can be shaken will be shaken.
- Hebrews 12:
26: “Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.
27: And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.”
Faith in Yahweh, faith in His Son, Yeshua and in His Word - the Bible, faith in each other and the family, faith in the church will all be tested severely. To stand upright at that time of temptation will require total dependence on the Spirit of the Almighty. The PASSOVER NIGHT is the only night in the year which believers are commanded to observe. Great care should be taken to follow this divine instruction. This is what the holy commandment says.
Exodus 12: | 42: “It is a night to be much observed unto the LORD for bringing them out from the land of Egypt: this is that night of the LORD to be observed of all the children of Israel in their generations.” |
The disciples failed to watch and pray even after the Saviour’s repeated warnings. As a result they all forsook him and fled: and the Apostle Peter denied him on three occasions. Had Peter prayed he would not have denied the Master. But we are in even greater danger than those early disciples.Most certainly we are no stronger than them. The midnight of the world when every soul will be tested to near breaking point is approaching at speed. It is almost here. If we watch and pray regularly, especially on the Passover Night our prospects of standing upright are much better. If we do not watch andpray we will collapse as surely as Peter did.
The Passover Night is a night to much observed. Yeshua the Saviour loves us with a love far beyond human imagination. He gave his life to redeem us from sin and eternal death. His aim is to present a faultless church to his Father; one that is washed clean of every sin and filled with the Holy Spirit. If you follow his instructions and keep the Passover Service at the appointed time and in the appointed way, and continually pray for his presence and power in your life, you will be kept in the Hour of Temptation. That is his promise as quoted below.
Revelation 3: | 10: “Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.” |
Prophecy Digested
Prove All Things knowing that all Prophecy is about Jesus and God revealing His Son…To us..for our…Salvation. We post material that is questionable, objectionable, and in the opinion of the Editor of the Prophetic Perspective, valid to use as God chooses to. Sometimes that is highly suspect as material setting “dates” of the Rapture is, but often these posts, may have pieces that are correct to futher study.
