What is the Biblical Passover Week in Bible Passages?
The Passover week feasts and Passover week 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
16 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:
17 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 the Biblical Passover week?
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
(see the 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 tenth day of the first month of the Jewish calendar and
keep this lamb for four days. Then on the fourteenth 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
16 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:
17 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 tenth day of the first month and stayed for four days.
He was slain (like the lamb was) on the fourteenth day of the
first month just as the Jewish people were celebrating 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 an he lamb without blemish as a sacrifice to
their Lord.
Leviticus 23:10-14
10 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:
11 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.
12 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.
13 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.
14 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.
Passover Bible Study Timeline
Biblical Passover Week Explained
Three 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.

Shadow of
The Triumphal Entry
Jesus, known as the Lamb without sin, came into Jerusalem on
the tenth day of the first month and was with the people for
four days.
Jesus' Death
Matthew 26:26
Jesus was killed by the choice of His own people on the
fourteenth day of the first 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.
Now this makes more sense, doesn't it?
His blood is now the saving Grace.
Jesus' Resurrection
Three 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 peoples' sins.
Passover Bible Study Proof
Biblical Passover Week and Grace
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 (a 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.

Biblical Passover Week Details
Work Six Days, Rest on the Seventh
The Bible says that God worked six days ... Genesis,
Chapter 1, and on the seventh day, He rested, Genesis
2:2. God also made this law apply to His people. They were to:
- Work six days and rest on the seventh, 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 six years
and be set free the seventh year, Exodus
21:2.
- God's people were also to sow in the land and gather fruits for six years
but not on the seventh, Leviticus
25:3-4.
- Even Jesus, when He was put on the Cross, hung there six hours, and
died at the beginning of the seventh 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. That is 72 hours. If He
was taken down from the cross just before Sabbath began that Sabbath
would be the first night.
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.
