PASSOVER WEEK
CHRISTIANITY
OASIS
HAS PROVIDED YOU WITH THIS PASSOVER
WEEK STUDY. MANY HAVE HEARD OF THE PASSOVER WEEK BUT DID YOU
KNOW THAT THE FEASTS OF ISRAEL ARE PROPHECY AND ARE A SIGN OF THE END
TIMES? THE
FEASTS OF ISRAEL ARE TRULY SHADOWS OR PROPHECY OF EVENTS TO COME.
LET'S SEEK AND FIND THE TRUTH OF THE FEASTS OF ISRAEL, SHALL WE?
THE FEASTS AND
CELEBRATIONS WHICH ARE THE HOLY DAYS THAT THE ISRAELITES WERE TOLD, BY GOD THROUGH MOSES, TO HONOR EACH YEAR, WERE
ACTUALLY
...
SHADOWS OF THINGS TO COME
|
COLOSSIANS 2:16-17
Let no man therefore judge you
in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday,
or of the new moon, or of the Sabbath days: Which are a
shadow of things to come; but the body is
of Christ |
IN OTHER WORDS ... GOD
CREATED THESE PASSOVER DAYS OF CELEBRATION AS SIGNS OF MAJOR SPIRITUAL EVENTS THAT
WOULD OCCUR ON THESE FEAST AND CELEBRATION HOLY DAYS IN THE FUTURE. YOU
WILL FIND AFTER YOU HAVE COMPLETED THIS STUDY THAT THE JEWISH FEASTS AND CELEBRATIONS
WHICH HAVE BEEN CELEBRATED BY THE ISRAELITES FROM THE TIME OF THE EXODUS FROM
EGYPT, WERE CREATED BY GOD AS SHADOWS OF
MANY
SPIRITUAL
EVENTS THAT OCCURRED SUCH AS THE BAPTISM AND DEATH OF JESUS.
WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY OF THIS
FEAST AND CELEBRATION IN ISRAEL KNOWN AS PASSOVER?
|
LEVITICUS 23:5
In the fourteenth day of the
first month at even is the LORD's Passover
|
YOU HAVE PROBABLY HEARD
THE STORY OF HOW THIS CELEBRATION CAME ABOUT, BUT DO NOT REALIZE IT. IT IS THE
STORY OF THE GREAT EXODUS FROM EGYPT. (BOOK OF EXODUS) AFTER GOD HAD PLAGUED THE
EGYPTIANS FOR NOT LETTING HIS PEOPLE GO, MOSES TOLD THE JEWISH PEOPLE THAT THE
ANGEL OF DEATH WAS COMING TO KILL ALL THE FIRST BORN OF EGYPT AND IN ORDER FOR
THE ISRAELITES TO PROTECT THEIR FIRST BORN CHILDREN FROM THIS ANGEL OF DEATH,
THEY NEEDED TO PLACE LAMB'S BLOOD ON THEIR HOMES FOR THE ANGEL OF DEATH TO
PASS OVER
THEM. IT WAS CALLED ...
PASSOVER
IN THIS CELEBRATION, THEY
WERE TO BRING IN AN UNBLEMISHED LAMB
ON THE 10TH DAY OF THE FIRST MONTH
OF THE JEWISH CALENDAR
AND
KEEP THIS LAMB FOR
4 DAYS. THEN
ON THE 14TH DAY OF THE FIRST MONTH
THE ISRAELITES
WOULD KILL THEIR LAMB
AND PLACE THE
BLOOD OF THE LAMB
ON THEIR HOMES TO
SAVE THEMSELVES.
THEY WERE TOLD TO DO THIS EVERY YEAR AND WAS CALLED
PASSOVER.
REMEMBER ... THIS CELEBRATION
WAS A SHADOW OF AN EVENT TO COME:
|
COLOSSIANS 2:16-17
Let no man therefore judge you
in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday,
or of the new moon, or of the Sabbath days: Which are a
shadow of things to come; but the body is
of Christ |
THE EVENT WAS THE PROMISE OF
THE MESSIAH ... JESUS
JESUS' DEATH
JESUS,
KNOWN AS THE LAMB WITHOUT SIN
CAME INTO JERUSALEM
ON THE 10TH DAY
OF THE 1ST MONTH AND WAS WITH THE PEOPLE FOR FOUR DAYS.
HE WAS KILLED BY THE CHOICE OF HIS OWN PEOPLE
ON THE 14TH
DAY OF THE FIRST MONTH
JUST AS THE JEWISH PEOPLE WERE CELEBRATING
THE PASSOVER.
HIS BLOOD IS NOW THE SAVING GRACE.
THERE IS A FEAST AND
CELEBRATION IN ISRAEL KNOWN AS
FIRST FRUITS
WHICH WAS THREE DAYS AFTER PASSOVER WHERE THE JEWISH PEOPLE WERE TO OFFER
A HE LAMB WITHOUT BLEMISH AS A SACRIFICE TO THEIR LORD.
|
LEVITICUS
23:10-14
Speak unto the children of Israel, and say
unto them, When ye be come into the land which I give unto you, and shall reap
the harvest thereof, then ye shall bring a sheaf of the firstfruits of your
harvest unto the priest: And he shall wave the sheaf before the LORD, to be
accepted for you: on the morrow after the Sabbath the priest shall wave it.
And ye shall offer that day when ye wave the sheaf an he lamb without blemish
of the first year for a burnt offering unto the LORD. And the meat offering
thereof shall be two tenth deals of fine flour mingled with oil, an offering
made by fire unto the LORD for a sweet savour: and the drink offering thereof
shall be of wine, the fourth part of an hin. And ye shall eat neither bread,
nor parched corn, nor green ears, until the selfsame day that ye have brought
an offering unto your God: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your
generations in all your dwellings. |
THIS CELEBRATION WAS A
SHADOW OF AN EVENT TO COME ...
JESUS'
RESURRECTION
3 DAYS
AFTER JESUS,
THE HE
LAMB WITHOUT SIN (BLEMISH)
WAS KILLED, HE WAS RESURRECTED ON SUNDAY MORNING
AS OUR SPIRITUAL SACRIFICE.
GOD USED JESUS AS THAT HE LAMB
BECAUSE
THERE WERE NOT ENOUGH SHEEP IN ALL THE WORLD TO ATONE FOR THEIR SINS.

10th day
of the 1st month |
Bring in an unblemished
lamb on the
10th day of the first month
and keep it for 4 days.
(Exodus
12:3-6) |
Jesus entering Jerusalem
Jesus, known as the Lamb
without sin, came into Jerusalem on the
10th day of the first month
and was with the people for
4 days. |
|
14th day
of the
1st month |
The
children of Israel killed
the lamb and placed the blood of the lamb on the door posts so the angel
of death (the destroyer) would pass over them and they would be saved.
(Leviticus
23:5)
The Passover lamb was eaten
the night of the 14th day.
(Exodus
12:6-8) |
Jesus death
Jesus was killed
by the choice of His own people on the 14th
day of the 1st month, just as the
Jewish people
were celebrating the Passover. (Jesus is the Passover lamb) At the Last
supper, Jesus said, This is my body, take and
eat
(Matthew
26:26)
Now this makes more sense, doesn’t it?
HIS BLOOD IS NOW THE SAVING GRACE
|
|
15th day
of the
1st month |
When the children of Israel were thrust out of Egypt,
there was no time to wait for their dough to rise, so they baked
unleavened bread because they had no other food prepared.
(Exodus
12:34,39)
(Leviticus
23:6) |
|
|
3 days
after
Passover |
Offer an he lamb without
blemish of the first year as a
sacrifice to
their Lord.
(Leviticus
23:10-14) |
Jesus’ resurrection
3 days after Jesus (the
he lamb without sin) was killed, He was
resurrected on Sunday morning. God
sacrificed Jesus as
that he lamb because there were not enough sheep in all the world to
atone for people’s sins. |
THIS BRINGS US TO AN INTERESTING FACT. IT IS WRITTEN THAT JESUS WOULD BE RESURRECTED 3 DAYS AND 3
NIGHTS AFTER HE WAS CRUCIFIED. JESUS ENTERED JERUSALEM ON PALM SUNDAY AND
WAS "KEPT" FOR 4 DAYS JUST AS THE UNBLEMISHED LAMB WAS TO BE IN THE
PASSOVER. IF HE WAS IN THE EARTH FOR 3 DAYS AND 3 NIGHTS AND
RESURRECTED ON SUNDAY MORNING, THIS REVEALS HE WAS KILLED ON THURSDAY, NOT "GOOD
FRIDAY.." RESEARCH PROVES THAT THE CHANGE WAS MADE TO ACCOMMODATE THOSE WHO MADE
THE CHANGE. TSK TSK.
IN ADDITION ... MANY BELIEVE THAT BECAUSE THE JEWISH PEOPLE
ASKED THAT JESUS' CRUCIFIED BODY BE TAKEN DOWN FROM THE CROSS BECAUSE IT WOULD
BE "SABBATH" AT SUNSET. (SABBATH IS FRIDAY SUNSET TO SATURDAY SUNSET)
|
John 19:31
The Jews therefore, because it was the
preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath
day, (for that sabbath day was an high
day,) besought Pilate that their legs
might be broken, and that they might be taken away.
|
SO THE NEXT DAY WAS A SABBATH DAY. (DAY OF REST FROM
WORK)
HOWEVER ... DID YOU NOTICE THAT IT SAID THAT THIS PARTICULAR
SABBATH WAS A "HIGH" SABBATH DAY, MEANING IT WAS A SPECIAL
SABBATH. THE SABBATH BEING SPOKEN OF IS A SPECIAL SABBATH THAT OCCURRED THE DAY
AFTER PASSOVER.
|
Leviticus 23:6-7
And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of
unleavened bread unto the LORD: seven days ye must eat unleavened bread. In
the first day ye shall have an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work
therein.
|
THE
FIRST DAY (THE 15TH DAY OF THE MONTH) WAS THE FIRST DAY OF THE FEAST OF
UNLEAVENED BREAD AND WAS A SPECIAL SABBATH AND AT SUNSET IT WOULD HAVE BEEN THIS
SPECIAL SABBATH. NOT THE WEEKLY SABBATH.
|
WORK SIX DAYS, REST ON THE SEVENTH
The Bible says that God worked 6 days
Genesis chapter 1
and on the 7th day, He
rested. Genesis 2:2
God also made this law apply to His
people. They were to work
6 days and rest on the 7th.
Exodus 20:9-10
And six years
thou shalt sow thy land,
and shall GATHER in the fruits thereof.
Exodus 23:10
... If His
people had a servant or slave,
they were to work 6 years and be set free the 7th year.
God's
people were also to
sow in the land and gather fruits for 6 years but not on
the 7th. Even Jesus, when He
was put on the Cross, hung there 6 hours, and died at the
beginning of the 7th hour.
Mark 15:25 and Mark 15:34-37
|
THE MATH ON
PROVING THIS TRUTH IS SIMPLE ...
MATTHEW REVEALS THAT JESUS WAS FOUND MISSING
THE DAY AFTER SABBATH.
|
Matthew 28:1
In the end of the Sabbath,
as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and
the other Mary to see the sepulcher. |
HOW CAN IT BE THEN THAT THEY
ASKED JESUS TO BE TAKEN DOWN FROM THE CROSS ON THE DAY BEFORE SABBATH AND HIS
BODY WAS FOUND MISSING THE DAY AFTER SABBATH WHEN WE KNOW HE WAS IN THE EARTH 3
DAYS AND 3 NIGHTS?
|
Matthew 12:40
For as Jonas (Jonah) was three days
and three
nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man (Jesus) be
three days
and three nights in the
heart of the earth. |
LET'S DO THE MATH ... 3 DAYS
AND 3 NIGHTS. IF HE WAS TAKEN DOWN FROM THE CROSS JUST BEFORE SABBATH BEGAN THAT
SABBATH WOULD BE THE FIRST NIGHT.
THAT IS 72 HOURS
JESUS DIED AT 3:00 PM ...
LET'S SAY IT GOT DARK AT 8:00
PM ON THE WEEKLY SABBATH.
(FRIDAY AT SUNSET)
24 HOURS LATER IT WOULD BE SATURDAY AT SUNSET.
48 HOURS LATER IT WOULD BE SUNDAY AT SUNSET.
72 HOURS LATER IT WOULD BE MONDAY AT SUNSET.
PROBLEM IS THAT JESUS WAS
FOUND MISSING SUNDAY MORNING.
AS I SAID SIMPLE MATH ...
THE HIGH SABBATH WAS NOT THE
WEEKLY SABBATH
HERE IS A LIL CHART TO MAKE
DOING THE MATH ... EVEN EASIER
