The Better Passover
Have you observed the better Passover?
Every year millions of Jewish families gather together to eat a very special dinner called the Seder. Seder literally means "order". The reason this special meal is called a Seder is because it is a centered around a special plate of food called the Seder plate. The food on the Seder plate is eaten one item at a time in a particular order along with four cups of grape juice or wine that are drank in a particular order.
The food items and the cups of wine are drank in the order that they appear in the Haggadah. The Haggadah is a book whose name literally means "the telling".
The telling is the telling of the deliverance of the Israelites from Egyptian bondage called the Exodus. As the telling progresses at certain points in the story everyone eats a particular item from their Seder plate or drinks one of the four cups of wine.
The telling is an interactive story where everyone participates. The telling is not dinner and a show. Dinner is part of the show and everyone at the table is putting on the show. When the telling occurs it is meant to be a sort of "you are there" experience.
The highlight of the telling is the dreadful last plague, the plague of death, where all of the first born were slain except for those in the houses that had the blood of a lamb on the posts around the front door. The houses with the blood on the doorposts were passed over when the plague of death came. The death of the lamb had saved the first born in those houses from being slain. It was this dreadful plague that finally caused Pharaoh to let the Israelites leave Egypt.
Afterwards the Israelites were commanded to have a feast to commemorate their deliverance from Egyptian bondage year after year, generation after generation, century after century (Exodus 12:24-25). This Feast of Truth is called "Pesach" (Passover) because everyone who had the blood of the lamb on their door was "passed over" when the first born were killed in the plague of death (Exodus 12:26-27). So for more than 3,500 years Jewish families have gathered together on the night when the Passover occurred to read the Haggadah and eat the Seder meal.
This Feast of Truth is the only first act in the Greatest Play Ever but it is the highest of all of the Feasts of Truth. It is so important that if someone is unable to participate for some reason then they are to observe Passover one month later on the same day of the month (Numbers 9:10-12). It is the only Feast of Truth that has an official make up holiday. Remembering the death of the lamb at Passover is just that important.
Still as important as observing Passover is for Jewish families there is a better Passover that eclipses the original Passover.
In the original Passover each household had to supply itself with a lamb without blemish (Exodus 12:3-5). In the better Passover the Father of Truth (YHVH aka God aka THE LORD) supplied the Man of Truth (Yeshua HaMashiach aka Jesus Christ) as the one and only Lamb that was without blemish (John 1:36).
In the original Passover the lambs were to be slain by the entire congregation of Israel (Exodus 12:6). In the better Passover the Lamb was slain by the congregation of the Jews and the Gentiles (Acts 4:24-28).
In the original Passover the blood of the lambs was applied to the vertical and horizontal pieces of wood that formed the doorposts (Exodus 12:7). In the better Passover the blood of Lamb was applied to the vertical and horizontal pieces of wood that formed the cross (Colossians 1:19-20).
In the original Passover the lambs were to be eaten, that is applied to the inside, of those who wanted to be delivered from the slavery of Egypt (Exodus 12:8). In the better Passover the Lamb is to be eaten, that is applied to the inside, of those who want to be delivered from the slavery of sin (John 6:53-57).
In the original Passover the lambs were to completely destroyed by fire after death (Exodus 12:9-10). In the better Passover the Lamb was completely destroyed by fire in Hell after death (Psalm 86:13). (This explained in more detail in the post about the four busy days that the Man of Truth had from time of the Last Supper until he appeared to his disciples on the day that he rose from the dead.)
In the original Passover judgment was swiftly brought upon the Spirits of Lies (devils aka demons aka unclean spirits aka gods) who ruled over Egypt by deception (Exodus 12:11-12). In the better Passover judgment was swiftly brought upon the Father of Lies (HaShatan aka Satan Aka The Devil) who rules over the entire Earth by deception (John 16:7-11).
In the original Passover the blood of the lambs marked those who were redeemed from the destruction that would come upon Egypt (Exodus 12:13). In the better Passover the blood of the Lamb marks those who are redeemed from the destruction that will come upon the whole world (1 Peter 1:18-20).
In the original Passover the death of the lambs brought about the end of leaven for Israel (Exodus 12:14-20). In the better Passover the death of Lamb brought about the end of sin for the whole world (John 1:29).
In the original Passover the blood of many lambs was applied to bring about deliverance from physical death (Exodus 12:21-22). In the better Passover the blood of the one and only Lamb was applied to bring about deliverance from eternal death (1 Peter 1:2-5).
In the original Passover the blood of the lambs was applied to doors of the houses to keep destruction out (Exodus 12:23). In the better Passover the blood of the Lamb is applied to the door of the heart to let salvation in (Revelation 3:19-21).
The original Passover is only to be observed by those who have come into the house of Israel (Exodus 12:42-47). The better Passover is only to be observed by those who have come into the House of Truth (Hebrews 13:8-10).
The original Passover is only for those who have been circumcised in their flesh (Exodus 12:48-49). The better Passover is only for those who have been circumcised in their heart (Colossians 2:10-12).
The original Passover made it possible for the Children of Israel to become servants to the Father of Truth in the Original Covenant (Tanach aka The Old Testament) (Exodus 12:28-32). The better Passover made it possible for all people to become children of the Father of Truth in the Renewed Covenant (B'rit Chadashah aka The New Testament) (1 Corinthians 11:23-26).
While supernatural deliverance of the people of Israel from the bondage of Egypt is something that should be remembered year after year by those whose ancestors were delivered it is still only a faint shadow of the supernatural deliverance of the entire human race from the bondage of sin.
The circumcision of the flesh does have some benefits and is definitely a cut above the rest of ways that people mark themselves in the flesh. Still the circumcision of the heart is the better circumcision. In the same way the death of the lambs in the original Passover cannot compare to the death of the Lamb in the better Passover. Removing the leaven in the original Passover cannot compare to removing sin in the the better Passover.
The better Passover is better in every way because it allows people to live with the Father of Truth in the House of Truth (Hebrews 7:19).
The better Passover initiated a better covenant because it is based on the Lamb that the lambs of the original Passover only pictured (Hebrews 7:22). This better Passover brought about a better covenant that contains better promises than the Original Covenant that was brought about by the original Passover (Hebrews 8:6).
The Original Covenant had a fault that made it necessary for a better covenant to take its place (Hebrews 8:7). The Father of Truth found fault with those whom He had made the Original Covenant in that they did not keep it so He said that He would make the Renewed Covenant with them instead (Hebrews 8:8-9). The Father of Truth said that in the Renewed Covenant He would write the Law of Truth (Torah aka The Law) on their hearts so they could come into the House of Truth (Hebrews 8:10). They would live in the House of Truth with Him because they would under a better covenant that obsoletes the Original Covenant that was based upon the Law of Truth being written on stone (Hebrews 8:11-13).
The better Passover is better because the Lamb did not stay dead. The Man of Truth was raised from the dead just like the raising of the Firstfruits. The resurrection of the Lamb is the assurance that the better Passover brought about a better deliverance so we can come into the House of Truth (Romans 1:1-6).
Everyone who surrenders control of their life to the Man of Truth because they believed that the Father of Truth raised the Lamb of the better Passover from the dead will come into the House of Truth (Romans 10:8-10). Everyone can benefit from the better Passover whether or not they are qualified to observe the original Passover (Romans 10:11-13). Everyone can have sin removed from their lives by the Lamb of the better Passover that is eaten in the House of Truth (1 Corinthians 5:6-8). Everyone can overcome the Father of Lies by the blood of the Lamb of the better Passover that can only be eaten in the House of Truth (Revelation 12:10-11).
