Summary of Passover & The Revelation of the Messiah by Pastor Don
I am so excited about last night’s Passover, Rabbi Michael and Gail Zeitler led our Passover and they shared a lot of new information which I will incorporate into my previous Passover notes and share with you, but today I am going to give you a handout that Pastor Don shared with us last night. There are so many Bible verses that for now I am not looking them up, I will leave the reading of them up to you, but they will support what Pastor Don is teaching in this handout. Pastor Don also shared some more details about these notes which I will include with the Seder notes. Hoping you have a blessed day! Heather
SUMMARY OF PASSOVER & THE REVELATION OF THE MESSIAH
For a good study, read Leviticus 23, Numbers 28 & 29, Deuteronomy 16. We celebrate three Feasts in the month of Nisan, at the barley harvest.
The Feast begins on the 10th day and on the 14th day in twilight, approximately 6 pm, the Lord’s Passover would be celebrated. Read Exodus 3-11 to see the story of God’s treatment of Moses and the battle of plagues with Pharaoh. The lamb is selected with no spot, wrinkle or blemish on the 10th day by each head of household and brought home to live with the family that examines the lamb.
In Jesus’ case He was examined Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, and then all Passover lambs on the evening of the 14th are killed in the doorway at 3 pm. Blood is placed in a basin or in the trough of the door. Blood is then placed on the sides and top of the doorposts. The family enters the house through the blood stained doorway. The lamb is killed at 3 o’clock in the afternoon. The entire lamb is roasted and the center cavity is spread open with a cross, roasted and then totally consumed. No bones are to be broken.
During the time the angel of death passes over as they have Faith that God would save them. No uncircumcised person could partake, as an outward evidence was necessary to show a covenant with God. During the temple time families brought lambs to the Temple for the sacrifice; there was great joy, praise, and celebration. The priesthood, the Levites would sing Psalms 113-118. Everyone would sing the first line, the Levites would sing the second line, and the people would shout “Hallelujah” or “Praise ye the Lord”. The peak of the celebration was Psalm 118:24 This is the day the LORD has made, We will rejoice and be glad in it.
John 1:29 – The Lamb of God
John 1:36, Acts 2:22 & 23 – For this purpose He was born
John 12:1 – Six days before the Passover, Jesus arrives in Bethany on the 9th, the 9th was on a Saturday, the next day was Sunday.
John 12:12 – Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.
The next days Jesus is questioned and tested
Matthew 12:12 – His final interrogation
John 19:4 – I find no fault in Him (Pilate)
Jesus is killed at the same time as the Passover lamb.
Matthew 26:2 – He is arrested and questioned on Wednesday, and crucified on Thursday
Mark 15 – It was the third hour they crucified Him.
Isaiah 53 – No broken bones
Exodus 12:46, Numbers 9:12, Psalms 34:20

Jesus was our last and most precious scarifice. Be Blessed, Chris
thanks so much for stopping at my site.
I hope you have a wonderful passover! I liked what you had to say. It is my desire, that my desires are inline with God’s desires. I just pray that I can be so surrendered, that it will one day be true.
blessings!
thanks for all the references
Hope you are having a Terrific Day!……..In Christ’s Love…….Monic
I was fortunate to be exposed to the full Judeo Christian experienc at a young age. My sister married a Jewish man and converted. Growing up, I participated in Passover, many sedars, bar and bat mitzvahs. It is such a wonderful history and religious lesson for me. How fulfilled are the completed Jews who have so much to share with we who are Christians!!!
Wonderful post!
Reading Nona Mia’s comment made me think… My husband is jewish and I have been praying and praying for him! (One big answer to prayer, is he did come to church with me 2 weeks ago!) Baby steps, but in the right direction! You can keep my husband, Ben, in your prayers, for his salvation!
Thanks!!

I didn’t know Christian’s learned much about Passover (except for the last supper). It was interesting for me to read. Have a GREAT week!!!
Heather, I pray that you and your family will be most blessed in the days to come as you celebrate our risen Lord and Savior… the beloved Lamb of God! ~Sherry

Indeed Jesus is the Messiah. Every thing about his life proves it. Nothing even remotely seems to contradict it.
Thank you for helping to keep this in the forethoughts of our day.
Christ is risen indeed! Thanks for the encouragement.
“But now Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. For since by man came death, by Man also came the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive.” 1 Corinthians 15:20-22
