Passover Part 3: The Door

-


Hello Friends, and welcome back to Part 3 of our Passover series.  Feel free to click back and review Part 1 and Part 2 to get back in the groove for more Passover talk...I'll be right here when you get back.

Today I want to talk about doors.

The Israelites were instructed to carry out a threshold covenant by sacrificing lambs and covering their doorways with sacrificial blood. Interestingly, later, when the tabernacle in the wilderness was raised, guess where the sacrifices were made?  


And you shall set the altar of burnt offering in front of the doorway of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting.

Exodus 40:6 NASB  


So, we see the continued pattern of sacrifices taking place at the threshold or doorway.


I would like to submit for your thoughtful consideration that the Bible is full of patterns.  YHVH uses patterns throughout His Word to teach the


Spiritual 

through 

the 

Physical

  

The Israelites put the blood of lambs on the doorposts of their homes.


Yeshua, the sacrificial Lamb (John 1:29), said:


I AM THE DOOR 

John 10:9


So Passover is about more than just remembering Israel's history.  It is about recognizing Israel's Salvation!  


Patterns...


That is the BEST reason I can think of to study Passover.  


So, we know that Yeshua is The Lamb and He is The Door, but we are also told that He is The Cornerstone.  Guess what?  That is threshold covenant language!

Headed off to gather more crumbs, but when I get the path mapped out, I will definitely be inviting you to…

The Counterfeit

As I write today, a solar eclipse is literally less than 48-hours away.  There is a bit of eclipse hysteria in the air.  People are scrambling to get their approved glasses, and many travel plans are being made in order to get the best possible view.  Some groups see the impending eclipse as a cool learning experience, while others preach that it is a sign of soon-coming doom.  Seems like a good day to broach an end-times subject that many of us don't like to think about: the mark.   Of course when I mention "the mark," I am guessing your mind goes straight to the mark of the beast.  I have spent much time pondering the mark of the beast.  I find in conversing with fellow believers that many are uncomfortable thinking about, discussing, and studying it.  I think a lot of us are more comfortable pretending that Daniel, Ezekiel, and Revelation do not exist.  Why is this? I believe the answer is, fear.   It is human nature to fear what we do not understand, and let

Anyone out there like me...thinking that "the good shepherd" statement made by Yeshua (Jesus) was a simple analogy made up "on the spot" to convey His caring nature?   Oh boy! In my quest to understand the Old Testament (OT), I am finding that so many things in the New Testament (NT) are just re-teachings of original OT teachings.  This good shepherd  statement is a prime example, and it explains why the Judean leaders wanted to stone Yeshua for blasphemy! (John 10:33)  Without the context of the OT, one could not possibly understand the complete gravity of what Yeshua was claiming when referring to Himself as the Good Shepherd.   So, let's take a look... Ezekiel 34 (whole chapter) Jeremiah 23:1-4 John 10 (whole chapter) There is quite a bit of scripture reading today, but if you've been able to take the time to read the above passages, it has probably "clicked" with you as to why the Judeans were divided (John 10:19) and why the Ju

Haggadot

Are you looking for a Christ-Centered Haggadah?  Here are a few of my favorites! 1) This is what I affectionately call "the long version" Haggadah .  I created it in 2021, and to date, that was probably my favorite Passover.  (But let's keep trying, right!?) 2) Because there is a long version, you knew there had to be a "short version" Haggadah , right?  After a few l-o-n-g years 😉, my teenager helped me understand that sometimes a shorter version is just what is needed.   3) If I had all the time in the world, I would use this beautiful (and 40 page!) Haggadah from Torah Resource .  I love the Hebrew recitation, the traditions, and the New Testament connections.  As a matter of fact, I am thinking of pulling a few pages from this Haggadah and meshing it with "the short version" in 2024.  Does that mean we may have a medium version to share next year? 😎😂 4) I am also a big fan of the Haggadah published by Chosen People Ministries (CPM).  An added b
