Come Seek With Me

Good Day, Friends!  We have been picking up bread crumbs together for a while.  Now let's trade in that loaf of bread for some matzah as we begin to look more closely at what a Passover Seder might look like in the home of a follower of Messiah Yeshua.  Better yet, let's start with some grapes, as today we will be talking about the "Four Cups" of the fruit of the vine. Last we were together, I shared just a bit about the elements that should be included in a Passover celebration according to scripture.  Please refer back to Part 6 and Part 7 for scripture references and that list of elements.   Now we can chat a bit about how to put scripture and elements together in a way that guides the celebration.  Our Jewish brothers and sisters use a program similar to a church bulletin called a "Haggadah."  The basic structure of a Passover Haggadah revolves around "the four cups."  The four cups of what, you ask?  Well, they are literally four c...

Hello Dear Friends and Readers!  I have thoroughly enjoyed learning and writing about the threshold covenant.  It has really deepened my understanding of Passover (the physical) and brought much more meaning (the spiritual) to the celebration of it in my home.  Thank you for coming along on this journey with me.  I am honored to be with you! So how does Debbie celebrate? I will begin with the disclaimer that I always describe my efforts at biblical feasting as "feasting on training wheels."  If you are laughing, that is good.  I am, too.  😁  I say that to say, feel free to get ideas from me, but please do not follow me.  I am a student and a learner of these feasts, just like you.   Follow YHVH   Follow Him by reading your bible and making His feasts a life-long study.  If you are anything like me, as you learn more, your feasts will look different and better with each year.  So with that disclaimer out of the w...

 Hello Friends!  I am happy to welcome you back today to take a look at what information we can get from scripture about the keeping of Passover.  If you are concerned as to whether a follower of Yeshua should celebrate, I hope a quick review of Part 2 of this series will help you make your decision.  I certainly celebrate!  And, if you would like to learn more about how to celebrate, the rest of this series is for YOU!   Let's get our bibles and see what we can learn.  Ready?  Let's go! Here is what we learn from Exodus 12 This is the first month On the 10th day select a lamb Slaughter it at twilight on the 14th day Blood on two doorposts and crossbeam of houses where it will be eaten Meat is to be roasted over fire -- not boiled -- and eaten completely or burned It is to be eaten with matzot and bitter herbs Eat while dressed and with shoes on -- ready to go This day is to be a memorial -- Keep it as a feast to YHVH eternally Teach it ...

I'm back Friends!  This time I want to "build" some background for you (pun intended) about thresholds, foundation stones, and corner stones.  I will warn you that the resource excerpts that I will be using from The Threshold Covenant can be quite disturbing.  I do not share them as a form of entertainment, I assure you.  My purpose for sharing is to reflect a clearer perspective as to Biblical texts about "The Rock" and "Our Chief Cornerstone."  Those are terms that should have given ancient peoples some pretty GIGANTIC clues about Messiah Yeshua.  And without ancient context, Western minds easily overlook those clues.   We have spent quite a bit of time so far learning the rite of the threshold covenant, understanding the significance of The Door, and realizing that animal sacrifices took place as a form of worship in homes and in the Tabernacle.   Recall that this threshold covenant began with YHVH, was perverted in the worship of pagan gods, ...

  So happy to be sharing with you again just a bit more about the threshold covenant as it pertains to Passover.  In Part 3 , we made the connection that YHVH teaches us about spiritual matters through physical ones.  Israel put blood on their doorposts in order to be "passed over," and later they learned that Messiah Yeshua IS The Door that leads to salvation.  HallaluYAH! Before we move on, I want to connect some dots that we read about in the book of Hebrews.  In chapter 10 we are given a stern warning: How much more severe punishment do you think he will deserve  who has trampled underfoot the Son of God , and has regarded as unclean  the blood of the covenant   by which he was sanctified, and has  insulted the Spirit of grace?  Hebrews 10:29 If that doesn't take your breath away, we may need to check your pulse!!! But what does it mean? Let us go back to the ancient threshold covenant rite (the physical) for our answer t...

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 do...
