| THOUGHTS ABOUT THE MESSIAH, AT THIS TIME |
|
| |
It is time for the Jewish Passover celebration. The Jews observe PASSOVER as they did in ancient times. Jews who do accept the Savior as the Messiah, celebrate the Jewish Passover and honor HIM for being the firstfruit and Passover lamb, the sacrifice. The Savior followed the Jewish custom of going to Jerusalem to celebrate Passover. The Messiah's death and resurrection was connected with the JEWISH Passover, which is during the Feast of Unleavened Bread. We do know HIS resurrection occurred on the third day of the Passover.
22:14 And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him. 22:15 And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer:
This was said during His final seder meal, in Jerusalem, on the night of HIS betrayal, as Yeshua/Yahshua, celebrated His final Passover seder with HIS followers. The Savior was the firstfruit (Bikkurim). (See scripture above: Luke 22:14-15)
They did and still do not call it Easter!
Christians celebrated Easter about a MONTH ago.. Many people say origin of the name Easter and the goddess herself (EASTRE)actually go all the way back to the Tower of Babel, Nimrod and his wife Semiramis (Ishtar). It's all related to the relationship to a "Mother goddess of fertility".
Easter is named after an Anglo-Saxon, pagan, fertility goddess with the pagan fertility symbols of rabbits, colored eggs, and chicks.
Christians began to celebrate the death and resurrection of the Savior after the ROMAN emperor, Constantine, ruled the people would celebrate the Easter festival would be celebrated the first Sunday after the full moon following the spring or Vernal Equinox. If the full moon should occur on a Sunday and thereby coincide with the Passover festival. This year, it was a month BEFORE and NOT even close to Passover which begins this year on the eve of April 19, 2008.
My opinion is, if a person wants to really celebrate and honor the Messiah, celebrate as was HIS custom, the way HIS people calculate the Passover timing, as they always have. I think it shows honor and respect to remember HIM AT the time He actually died and resurrected, which WAS during the Feasts of Unleavened Bread and Passover.
I encourage you to attend a Messianic Passover Seder. The focus is all about the Messiah and not pagan substitutes! Messianic Jews are followers of the Messiah.
23:5 In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at even, is Jehovah's passover. 23:6 And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread unto Jehovah: seven days ye shall eat unleavened bread.
I added the above scripture for reference as to when and where the Scriptures mention the Feast of Unleavened Bread. The Savior observed this feast.
Thank you, Messiah, for being the THE sacrifice, THE Passover Lamb!
Passover Blessings to everyone!
