...See the Salvation of The Lord - Exodus 14:13



Welcome to Our Passover Seder



Background


*The Threshold Covenant and its importance in understanding the Passover*


Gen 12:10-20 Abraham models the Exodus

Gen 15:14-14 Your seed will be enslaved, but I will bring them out

Gen 15:18 “I will give this land to your seed....”


Joseph went down into Egypt as a slave, but he became a great ruler.  Jacob and the entire family went to live with him in Egypt.


Ex 1:8-14 But there was a new king who did not know Joseph. The new king forced them into slavery.


Ex 2:23-25 They cried out from their slavery and it went up to God. He remembered His covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob 


Therefore say to the Sons of Israel; I am YHVH, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.  I will deliver you from their bondage, and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with great judgments.  I will take you to Myself as a people, and I will be your God. You will know that I am YHVH your God, who brought you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.  So I will bring you into the land that I swore to give to Abraham, to Isaac, adn to Jacob, and give it to you as an inheritance. 

 I am YHVH.  

Exodus 6:6-8

Passover is structured around The Four Cups




We are going to use the following titles based on Exodus 6 for our cups:


  1. I will bring you out and deliver you from bondage

  2. I will redeem you

  3. I will take you to Myself as a people

  4. I will bring you into the land  



First Cup - I will bring you out and deliver you from bondage…


Recite Together:  Blessed are You Adonai, our God, King of All that Exists, who creates the fruit of the vine.

In Hebrew: Baruch Atah Adonai, Eloheinu Melech ha-olam, borei p’ri ha-gafen.

Let us drink the cup of deliverance from bondage


Now, Let us read how Israel was delivered from bondage


  • Exodus 3:7-10 -He has heard their cry and will bring them out

  • Exodus 3:14 - I AM

  • Exodus 7:14-11:6 - The plagues / judgments - Threshold Covenant

  • Exodus 12:30 - Loud wailing in Egypt

  • Exodus 12:31 - Rise up and go out from my people!


Second Cup - I will redeem you...


Recite Together:  Blessed are You Adonai, our God, King of All that Exists, who creates the fruit of the vine.

In Hebrew: Baruch Atah Adonai, Eloheinu Melech ha-olam, borei p’ri ha-gafen.

Let us drink the cup of redemption


Now, Let us read how Israel was redeemed


  • Exodus 12:2 - This month will be the first month

  • Exodus 12:6 - Slaughter a lamb

  • Exodus 12:7 - Blood on doorpost and crossbeam

  • Exodus 12:8 - Meat roasted with fire / bitter herbs

  • Exodus 12:12 -I will strike down the first born; I will execute judgments

  • Exodus 12:13 - Blood will be a sign; I will “pass over” you

  • Exodus 13:2 - All first born are mine

  • Exodus 13:13 - But you are to redeem your sons (this is what Yeshua’s parents were doing in the temple when He was a baby)

  • Exodus 14:21 - Moses stretched his hand over the sea. YHVH drove back the sea. They walked on dry land


Third Cup - I will take you to Myself as a people...


Recite Together:  Blessed are You Adonai, our God, King of All that Exists, who creates the fruit of the vine.

In Hebrew: Baruch Atah Adonai, Eloheinu Melech ha-olam, borei p’ri ha-gafen.

Let us drink the cup of being made His people


Now, Let us read how Israel was taken as His people


  • Exodus 19:5-6 - If you listen to My voice and keep my covenant, then you will be My own treasure

  • Exodus 19:8     - All the people answered together: “Everything Adonai has spoken, we will do.”

Let us drink the cup of being brought into the land


Now, Let us read how Israel was brought into the land


  • Numbers 14:29 - In this wilderness, you will drop

  • Joshua 3:14-16   - Crossing the Jordan (the “descender”)

  • Joshua 5:10         - Passover at Gilgal (“rolled” away the reproach of Egypt / ate matzot / mana ceased)

Part 2


Yeshua / Jesus was taking part in a Passover meal with His disciples on the night He was betrayed.


  • Luke 22:20  - “This cup is the new covenant in my blood.” (compare to Ex 24:8 when Moses sprinkles the people with blood)

 

What is the new covenant?


  • Jeremiah 31:31 - 

    • Behold, days are coming -- it is a declaration of Adonai -- when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah -- not like the covenant I made with their fathers in the day I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt.  For they broke My covenant, though I was a husband to them.  --It is a declaration of Adonai.  But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days -- it is a declaration of Adonai -- I will put my Torah within them.  Yes, I will write it on their heart.  I will be their God and they will be My people. 


Who is the new covenant that Yeshua spoke of at His final Passover for? 


Israel and Judah


If that is true, how can WE be part of the new covenant?


Paul explains this beautifully!

  • Romans 11:17 - Gentile believers are grafted in to the commonwealth of Israel

  • Ephesians 3:6 - Gentile believers are joint heirs and fellow members of the same body and co-sharers of the promise of Messiah Yeshua



A Second Exodus?


Yes!


Jeremiah 15:14-15 & Jeremiah 16:7-8 -- The Prophet Jeremiah tells us that the next exodus will be so big that people will not even talk about the first one anymore…


What is the Second Exodus?


Isaiah 11:10-13 -- The Root of Jesse will stand as a banner / The Lord will again redeem - a second time -  the remnant of His people / He will lift up a banner for the nations and assemble the dispersed of Israel and gather the scattered of Judah....


Who do we see included in this exodus?


Israel and Judah


The most important questions of the evening?



Are you grafted in?



Are you covered by the blood of the new covenant?


Is the Torah written on your heart?




Yeshua/Jesus is not concerned with our DNA


He is concerned with whether or not we are in covenant.


We accept His covenant by faith.  Then because of faith, we live in obedience.


Paul writes in Ephesians 2:8

“For you have been delivered by grace through trusting/faith, and even this is not your accomplishment but God’s gift.”




Yeshua’s Last Seder

Luke 22:17-20

  • Then, taking the cup of wine, He blessed it, and said, “Take this and share it among yourselves.”

  • Also, taking a piece of matzah, He blessed it, and said, “This is my body, which is being given for you.”

  • He did the same with the cup after the meal, saying, “This cup is the New Covenant, ratified by my blood, which is being poured out for you.”


Prayer


May we eat of the bread and drink of the cup.


Yeshua’s Next Seder

Luke 22:16 - For I tell you, it is certain that I will not celebrate it again until it is given its full meaning in the Kingdom of God.


Next Year in Jerusalem!

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

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
