PASSOVER/PESACH
"These are the set feasts or appointed seasons of the LORD, holy convocations or assembly by summons…On th“e fourteenth day of the first month (Nisan) between evenings is the LORD’s Passover.” (Lev.23:4, 5) “For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and I will smite all first-born in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against the gods of Egypt I will execute judgments. I AM YHVH. The blood shall be for a token or sign to you upon [the doorposts of] the houses where you are, [that] when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and no plague shall be upon you to destroy you when I smite the land of Egypt.” (Exodus 12: 12, 13) See also Heb. 11:28; I Cor. 5:7.
“This day shall be for you a memorial. You shall keep it as a feast to the LORD throughout your generations; keep it as an ordinance for ever. For seven days you shall eat unleavened bread; even the first day you shall put away leaven [ symbolic of sin and corruption] out of your houses; for whoever eats leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that person shall be cut off from Israel.” (Ex. 12:14, 15)
“On the first day you shall hold a solemn and holy assembly, and on the seventh day there shall be a solemn and holy assembly; no kind of work shall be done in them, save [the preparation of] that which every person must eat, that may be done by you… When your children ask you, ‘What do you mean by this service?’ You shall say, ‘It is the sacrifice of the LORD’s Passover, for He passed over the houses of the Israelites in Egypt when He slew the Egyptians but spared our houses. And the people bowed their heads and worshipped.” (Ex. 12: 16, 26, 27)
“Purge [clean out] the old leaven that you may be fresh [new] dough, still uncontaminated [as you really are], for Christ [Messiah] our Passover [Lamb], has been sacrificed. Therefore let us keep the feast [Passover], not with old leaven of vice and malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of purity [nobility and honor] and sincerity and [unadulterated] truth. (I Cor. 5:7, 8)
Growing numbers of people are rediscovering the Jewish foundation upon which Christianity was originally built and they are embracing the scriptural teachings and practices that were part of the first century believers’ system of worship, praise, life-style and service. They are discovering the rewarding joyous experiences as they immerse themselves in walking in the ways of Messiah and the apostles. We invite you to join us as we learn to walk in the ways of YHWH.
