UNDERSTANDING THE TRUE PASSOVER
Written for Passover 2011
1Co 10:16 The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not
the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the
communion of the body of Christ?--
1 Co 11: 28 But
let a man examine himself,-- 29-he that eateth and drinketh unworthily,
eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord’s body.
Joh 6:54 Whoso
eateth My flesh, and drinketh My blood, hath eternal life; and
I will raise him up at the last day.-
Then examine what the LORD had done for us to raise us!
2Co 7:1 Therefore, having these promises, beloved,
let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit,
perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
SO WHEN YOU OBSERVE PASSOVER, AND WHEN IT IS THE LAST
DAYS, IF YOU HAD NOT EXAMINED the blessings promised, and not
cleansing, YOU COULD eat and drink TO DAMNATION!
Isa 52:15 So shall He sprinkle many nations. Kings
shall shut their mouths at Him; For what had not been told them they shall see,
And what they had not heard they shall consider.
THE CUP OF BLESSING BAPTIZES
US INTO CHRIST
Heb 8: 1-2, 6-8 –the main point is we have JESUS CHRIST as
High Priest of Melchisedec Order, 9: 11-15—through His blood our conscience
is cleansed TO SERVE GOD,
through His death, for redemption of sins under the 1st covenant,
So that they which are called might receive the promise of
eternal inheritance.
In 1Pe 3:20-21—in history saving of eight people through
water was an antitype against wickedness, and now it is
baptism that is the antitype to save against wickedness. JESUS CHRIST
SAID ABOUT THIS BAPTISM IN LU 12: 50-51—He said 49 "I came to send fire on the earth, and
how I wish it were already kindled!
50 "But I have a
baptism to be baptized with, and how distressed I am till it is accomplished!
Fire is His words, Jer 5: 14, that is to burn the chaff, Isa 27: 11.
SO THAT BAPTISM HAD TO TAKE
PLACE.
along with A TRUE Passover , ISRAEL would get baptised
UNTO DEATH OF JESUS CHRIST. This is in a manner with the baptism in
history during the time of Moses, 1Co 10:2 all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and
in the sea,
JESUS CHRIST became the true High Priest, and the mediator
of the new covenant, Heb 8:6 , for the redemption of the transgressions under
the first covenant,
Redeemer and LORD, of ISRAEL is 1ST and LAST, Isa
44: 6, Re 22: 13, and we are to do His commandments, Re 22: 14. JESUS CHRIST,
Almighty God, Isa 9: 6, is the temple amidst NEW Jerusalem, Re 21: 22.
Heb 5: 9—HE IS THE AUTHOR OF ETERNAL SALVATION TO
ALL WHO OBEY HIM.
HEB 8: 1-2, 6—the main point is WE HAVE JESUS CHRIST, THE MINISTER OF TRUE TABERNACLE,
MEDIATOR OF A BETTER COVENANT, WITH
BETTER PROMISES!
HEB 9: 11-15—THROUGH
SPRINKLING HIS BLOOD, COSCIENCE IS CLEANSED TO SERVE GOD. -- Heb 10:19
Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood
of Jesus,
this cup
is the new testament in His blood, 1Co 11:25, 26,
Ac 17:31 -Therefore resurrection PAVED THE WAY to purify Levi, through LORD’S Judgment!
LORD’S SUFFERING, SHEDDING BLOOD, DEATH,
RESURRECTION, ASCENSION, GIVING OF HOLY SPIRIT ARE ALL CONNECTED TO THE
CROSS OF JESUS, AND ALL BLESSINGS FROM THOSE THINGS ARE IN THE CUP OF
BLESSING
HIS SUFFERING--Isa 53:5
But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our
iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon Him; and with His
stripes we are healed.-6 - the
LORD hath laid on Him the iniquity of us all. -11 He shall see of the travail of His soul, and
shall be satisfied: by His
knowledge shall My
righteous servant justify many; for He shall bear their iniquities.
HEALING, KNOWLEDGE OF
HIM would come through, JUSTIFYING MANY,
While HE BEARS INIQUITY
OF ALL ON HIS CROSS!
WITHOUT KNOWLEDGE OF JESUS CHRIST , ONE CANNOT BE
BAPTIZED UNTO HIM!
THE BENEFITS OF THE
BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST that are in the cup of blessing are--, remission of sins,
redemption, salvation, peace, reconciliation, justification, atonement,
Passover from DEATH to LIFE, judgment through resurrection (Acts 17: 31) – WHICH ARE ALL ATTAINED THROUGH HIS DEATH and PRECIOUS
BLOOD! ALL THESE FROM RO 6:
3-7!
1Pe 2:24 Who His own self bare our sins in His
own body on the tree, --
TO BE THE PROPITIATION
FOR OUR SINS, HE HAD GIVEN ALL THINGS— The cross is connected to His resurrection,
baptism, Ro 6:3,4, Redemption,
grace, propitiation by blood
shed on the cross, Ro 3: 24, 25, Justification, Rom 5:1, 9, 18,
3: 24, 1Jo 2:2, 1 Joh 4: 10, sacrifice and offering for sin, remission,
atonement, Ro 5:11 , Heb 9:28 so
Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many.---cleansing, salvation, reconciliation, Rom 5: 10, Passover , Joh 6:54, 57, Mt 26:26, Mr
14:22 , 1Co 11:24, Many made
righteous, Rom 5: 19, Rom 3: 21-22, the promise of inheritance
through the new covenant, Mt 26:28, Mr 14:24 , Lu 22:20, 1Co 11:25 -" cup
is the new covenant in His blood”, Heb 9:18,
Ro
5:11 And not only so, but we also joy in
God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the
atonement.
JESUS
CHRIST PROVIDES THIS ATONEMENT IN Ez 16: 63 TO MAKE THE NEW COVENANT!
Captivity ends through blood of the LORD, Zec
9:11
new covenant could be dedicated with His blood, Heb
9:18 , Heb 9:20 saying,
"This is the blood of the covenant which God has commanded
you."— IT IS THE
BLOOD OF THE EVERLASTING COVENANT, Heb 13:20
inheritance in Eze. Chap. 47-48, Re 21-22, giving
eternal life, Joh 6; 54, WOULD COME ALONG WITH NEW COVENANT.
PASSOVER BREAD- Jn 6.61, His flesh for the life of the world
to be born—blood and flesh, vss 53-57
We ought to know the cost –price—importance—significance—value—of the blood of the covenant, which was shed on
the cross of JESUS CHRIST!!
Heb 12:24 to
Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that
speaks better things than that of Abel.
HERE IS A LIST OF BETTER THINGS--
- Heb
9: 6-11--as Abel’s sacrifice of animals, priests sacrificed every year ,
but it is only through Christ’s sacrifice, that they could ENTER the
HOLIEST.
- Heb
9: 12-14—Christ as High Priest (8:1), had builded a tabernacle not made
with hands, made possible through HIS OWN BLOOD,
- Heb
9: 9, 12, 14—earlier high priests served as a figure only, not being
able to make their conscience perfect to serve God, BUT WITH THE
SACRIFICE OF THE LORD’S BLOOD,
having OBTAINED ETERNAL REDEMPTION, PURGE THE CONSCIENCE OF HIS
PEOPLE WHO SERVE IN THE SANCTUARY (their dead works are forgiven).
- Heb
9: 15—when ISRAEL teachers failed through law, Isa 43: 22-27, the LORD as the mediator, SACRIFICED HIS
OWN BLOOD for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the
first testament, and made it possible FOR ISRAEL TO receive the promise of
eternal inheritance.
- Heb
9: 16—18—THE LORD HIMSELF BECAME THE
TESTATOR AND SACRIFICED HIS BLOOD TO MAKE ISRAEL RECEIVE THE PROMISES!
- Heb 9: 19-20—Moses sprinkled blood of animals,
as blood is necessary according to law of the SANCTUARY saying
“This is the blood of the covenant which God has commanded
you." So JESUS CHRIST
sacrificed His blood, Lu 22:20
- Heb 9: 21—tabernacle and vessels of
ministry are to be cleansed with blood-(then--Zec 14: 20-In that day
"HOLINESS TO THE LORD" shall be engraved on the bells of the horses.--- The pots in the LORD’S house shall be
like the bowls before the altar—THE
HORSES THAT FIGHT FOR THE LORD
{ministry) will be {Holiness to the LORD”}—all vessels of ministry
purified {they contain pure things, as their conscience would be
purified}, THIS IS THE LORD’S DOING as in Mal 3: 2,3.
- Heb 9: 22-24—as the LORD had made the
heavenly TABERNACLE, no more copies of tabernacle, BUT THE TRUE THINGS FOR TRUE TABERNACLE—so JESUS CHRIST himself MADE THE BEST SACRIFICE FOR REDEMPTION OF sins of His people.
- Heb
10: 1-6—LORD’s sacrifice is a complete solution to make people GET RID OF
SINS .
- Heb
10: 7-12—not like the other priests who had to sacrifce often, THE LORD’S SACRIFCE IS ONCE FOR ALL- MAKING PERFECT
THOSE WHO WORSHIP THE LORD, and therefore through His offering he
made the EVERLASTING COVENANT POSSIBLE!
- Heb
9: 28, Heb 10: 13--He appeared the second time without sin unto salvation,
and is doing a short work to give salvation , Rom 9: 28, served by a
gentile seed, who attained Righteousness through faith in Him, Rom 9:
29-31, to subdue the way of ISRAEL
who worship in the SANCTUARY, so that THEY
TOO WOULD HAVE FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST .
- Heb 10: 14-15—the LORD took away sins
and made them perfect, and gave Holy spirit (knowledge of God, through the
WORD OF GOD which is HOLY SPIRIT, Jn 6: 63, that means HE HAD GIVEN KNOWLEDGE TO DEPART FROM SIN through His words, Isa 11: 9, -2Ti
2:19 Nevertheless the solid
foundation of God stands, having this seal: "The Lord knows those who
are His," and, "Let everyone who names the name of Christ
depart from iniquity.".
- Heb 10: 16-This is the covenant that I
will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put My laws
into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;
- Heb 10: 17 And their sins and iniquities will I
remember no more. Therefore He said in Eze. 44:6 "Now say to the rebellious, to the
house of Israel, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: "O house of Israel, let
us have no more of all your abominations. (THEY SHOULD NOT SIN ANY MORE!) (a sin that defiled and broke the
covenant is in vs. 7—which is Bamah abomination!)
He will not remember their sins anymore! Isa 33:24, Jer 33:6-8, the
LORD will forgive the captives (for breaking covenant too), and the land will
marry as if she had not committed harlotry, but as a virgin, Isa 62: 4,5
Harlotry of PCG, Eze. 16: 15, grew, Lev. 19; 29, into Re 17: 5!
·
The LORD
had given His laws of love, in His word (Heb 7:12 For the priesthood being changed, a change of
law is needed, --they are the LORD’s laws of love) (WHEN THE HOLY SPIRIT WAS POURED through gentiles, Joel 2: 28-29, Acts 2:
17,18, THE LORD SHED HIS LOVE IN OUR
HEARTS so that it helps
us to love God and one another,
Rom 5: 5, Joh 13:34, 35, Ro 12:10, Ga 5:13, 1Th 3:12, 1Th 4:9, Heb 10:24, 1Pe
1:22, 1Pe 3:8-----ONE SHOULD OBSERVE THAT
THE HOLY SPIRIT WAS GIVEN AS A HELPER, AFTER HIS ASCENSION, after resurrection from death. That is
these things are all connected to His SACRIFICE!--- Joh 14:26 "But the Helper,
the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all
things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.—NOW AFTER HE POURED THE SPIRIT ON HAND MAIDS, Joel 2: 28, 29, HE IS REMINDING ALL THINGS HE SAID!
- Heb 10: 18—there will be no more
offering, Christ will not die anymore—PERFECTION IS OFFERED
ONCE ONLY, (Ro 6:9 knowing that
Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer
has dominion over Him.)-{then we should KNOW NOT TO SIN AGAIN!)
- Heb 10: 19-- Having therefore, brethren, boldness to
enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, (made possible by His
sacrifice and not animal sacrifices)
- Heb 10: 20-21—under High Priest JESUS
CHRIST , His people of ISRAEL are to LIVE a NEW WAY as Heb
10: 17 above shown—
- Heb 10: 22- Let us draw near with a true heart
in full assurance of faith,
having our hearts
sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed
with pure water.—WHEN THE LORD’S BLOOD IS SPRINKLED IN
Eze. TEMPLE ORDINANCES, Eze. 43: 18, AND THE WATER (the knowledge of
God you get through Revelations)IS SPRINKLED, you will be cleansed, Eze
36:25.
·
Heb 10: 23 Let
us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful
that promised;) –WE SHOULD BELIEVE
ALL WHAT THE LORD SAYS!
- HEB 10: 24
And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good
works: WE ARE TO BE CHANGED PEOPLE, no more disfellowshipping, no more
divisions –no more falling away –BUT ONE FLOCK OF JESUS CHRIST, THE
TRUE SHEPHERD!
ALL THE ABOVE BLESSINGS, BENEFITS ARE IN THE CUP WE GET AT PASSOVER!
2Co 7:1--having these
promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh
and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.---
True Passover
helps to END captivity, it is the TIME OF GATHERING ISRAEL, Zep
3:20 ---then, when you discern and acknowlegde the LORD’s sacrifice, and acknowledge that you had sinned, Jer 14:
20, Jer 3: 13, THANK HIM FOR ALL WHAT HE HAD DONE, AND
SINCERELY HOPE TO BECOME A DISCIPLE OF HIS, AS YOUR SPIRITUAL CAPTIVITY WOULD
END.
- We
should understand that ISRAEL failed through law, but it is the grace
of JESUS CHRIST that saves ISRAEL, Ro 3:24 Being justified freely by His grace
through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:, Eph 1:7 In whom we have redemption through
His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his
grace;Ro 5:21 That as sin hath
reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness
unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.—
FORGIVENESS, REDEMPTION CAME
THROUGH HIS BLOOD, through GRACE OF JESUS CHRIST,
while ISRAEL failed through law of Moses. --Joh 1:17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and
truth came by Jesus Christ.
Zec 12:10
Paul taught us two things, JESUS CHRIST, and Him
crucified-1Co 2:2 -and he boasted on
cross, Ga 6:14
- ISRAEL HAS TO HAVE FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST FOR THEM
TO BE REDEEMED, Isa 54: 5, Isa 9: 6, Ps. 83: 18.
- RESURRECTED JESUS CHRIST shows the POWER OF
HIS CROSS- it is resurrection of JESUS CHRIST that assured the
Judgment on Levi, on LORD’s day, Acts 17: 31, --that fulfills the Judgment
on Levi, in Mal 3:1-5, on LORD’s
day.
2 Tim 2: 19-- the foundation of God standeth sure, having
this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth
the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
Joh 1:29 "LOOK AT LAMB who takes away the sin of the
world! He came to save His people from sins, Mt 1: 21---MINISTRY IS
SAVED FROM SINS—THEY ARE PURIFIED through MAL 3: 1-5,--the LORD has power to
judge Levi through resurrection, Acts 17: 31, -JESUS
CHRIST DIED AND RESURRECTED BY HIS OWN POWER!—Jn 10: 18,
- Zec
14:9- And the LORD shall be king
over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and His
name one.
Isa 53: 11-He gives knowledge to justify many; for
He shall bear their iniquities.---Therefore giving knowledge is connected to bearing iniquities ON THE
CROSS,
Isa 52:15 So shall He sprinkle many nations.
Kings shall shut their mouths at Him;
AN ANTITYPE
(against wickedness) to SAVE
THEM.
1 Pet
3.21- speaks of the antitype done today.
VS. 21 --There is also an antitype which now saves us––baptism
(not the removal of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God), through
the resurrection of Jesus Christ,
Vs. 22 says all powers are under JESUS
CHRIST AS HE OFFERED HIMSELF AND RESURRECTED, LIVING ETERNALLY AND IS ABLE
TO GIVE LIFE TO HIS PEOPLE
CRUCIFIXION OF CHRIST INVOLVES—
Reasons for crucifying—crucifying—shedding
blood—wounds—death—resurrection
HE WAS FALSELY ACCUSED-
Joh 19:6 Pilate saith
-crucify him:- I find no fault in him.
Isa 53: 8 - for the
transgression of My people was He stricken.
Isa 53: 10 - Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise Him; -- when
thou shalt make His soul an offering for sin, He shall see his seed, He shall
prolong His days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in His
hand.
(in Mt 1: 17 Christ’s generation is not recorded—HE HAS TO
SEE HIS SEED—but it has to be a HOLY SEED as HE IS HOLY! Then the LORD has to
make a holy seed, out of the rebellious ISRAEL people of His!
CLEANSING IS DONE BY
spirit of JUDGMENT AND spirit of BURNING
Isa 4:4-- When the Lord has washed away the filth of
the daughters of Zion, and purged the blood of Jerusalem
from her midst, by the spirit of judgment and by the spirit of burning,
2Pe 3:7 But the heavens and the earth which are now
preserved by the same word, are reserved for fire until the day
of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
God’s people are to give account to each idle word, in the
day of judgment, Mt 12:36, that is why the prophet and leaders of last era were
judged for their “own words” they speak , Jer 2: 30, the words that destroyed
God’s people!
Judgment was committed to gentiles, Eze. 16: 40-42, Re 20: 4, by fire of God’s words, Jer 5: 14, 23:
29.
LORD
establishes His kingdom with justice and Judgment, --He purifies David’s throne
with Judgment –Isa 9: 7 Of the
increase of His government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of
David, and upon His kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and
with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will
perform this.
JESUS
CHRIST ESTABLISHES HIS KINGDOM UPON THE throne of David—MEANING THAT LORD’S
SERVANTS WOULD BE IN DAVID’S THRONE—the true worship of God has to be proceeded
from David’s throne!
Those in
David’s throne has to be purified through LORD’s BAPTIZM—
Baptised unto His
death, Ro 6: 3-7—we remember His death at Passover !
So baptizm unto Him
and Passover is a God’s statute as Passover
during Moses’ time.-1Co 10:2
Lu 12:50 "But I
have a baptism to be baptized with, and how distressed I am till it is
accomplished! ---to accomplish it, HE DIED FIRST, JUST AS MOSES AND
ELIJAH spoke of LORD’s death, AT
TRANSFIGURATION, LU 9: 31, and then--
Ro 6:3 Or do you not know that as many of us as were
baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? (The LORD died for His people, and get
His people also into His death, baptizing them, TO GIVE THEM THE CUP OF
BLESSING, 1Co 10:16!)
Through
Passover the LORD gets His people baptised unto
Him—they get all spiritual blessings the LORD is giving, when they remember His
death, WHEN THEY HAVE FAITH IN HIM to receive the cup of blessing! And they
should walk in NEWNESS OF LIFE---
Then we worthily
discern His body and blood, 1Co 11:27,29, and we would NOT BE GUILTY IF
WE KNOW THAT the cup of blessing, 1Co 10:16, was offered for Joh 6:54, 56 (to
be raised in the last day, for eternal life, for Christ to dwell in us, and we
in Him).
SO WHEN WE GO THROUGH RO 6: 3-7, WE EXAMINE THE CUP OF
BLESSING AND TAKE THAT CUP IN FAITH, AND BE RAISED—
Therefore when we
partake of THE TRUE PASSOVER, WE GET BAPTISED INTO HIM, we become His
--
SO when we are
forgiven completely at Passover , through the sacrifice JESUS CHRIST, we come
out sinless--IN NEWNESS OF LIFE,—TO SERVE HIM IN RIGHTEOUSNESS AND
HOLINESS, RO 6: 19,22.
We remain in Holiness as we are to depart from iniquity when
we name the name of JESUS CHRIST, 2 Tim 2: 19.
LORD expected ISRAEL to be holiness to the LORD, but the
leaders devoured them, Jer 2:3, THEREFORE---JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF BORE ALL THEIR
SINS, TO MAKE A HOLY PEOPLE OUT OF ISRAEL THROUGH HIS DEATH---and ISRAEL should
know all these benefits from the cup of blessings FROM HIS DEATH ON THE CROSS,
and return to Him through the blood of the covenant, Zec 9: 11.

ALL PRAISE AND THANKSGIVING TO JESUS CHRIST , Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The
everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace, Isa 9: 6. Amen.
