Subject: 4-14 -2014 Ber's Newsletter
update
Everyone is wondering why I haven’t put out a newsletter in
a while. Many reasons; busy being one of them. Waiting for the Telexfree thing
and the dinar/dong revaluation thing to unfold is another. Telexfree just filed
for chapter 11 bankruptcy. I will put out a separate newsletter on the Telexfree
situation. It appears we can no
longer even post our daily ad. And the dinar/dong revaluation has been
completed. Iraqi bonds Are being sold at $3.71. All is done. Simply awaiting
release. You can thank your muslim potus in the white house for the delay as to
why we can’t yet exchange. It is imminent though. Tune into Tony’s call this
morning at 10AM PST www.tntdinar.com for the latest.
And I had to finish my book, Parachute of Jesus, which is finally done. It is
posted at www.detailshere.com/parachute.htm
and I can give you a .pdf version free upon request. Hard paperback
copies will be available by the end of April I hope.
The Bible doesn’t speak much about how many people go to
heaven or hell at death. It simply says we can travel the wide road to
destruction or take the narrow gate to eternal life. But near death testimonies
give us numerical statistics to work with, and they are not good. These people
have been told by God’s angels that as few as .1% to as high as 2.5% are all
that make heaven at death. Now that’s including the whole world and not just
Christians but those aren’t good odds. So we have to ask, why?
What are we not being taught by our clergy regarding our journey in the
afterlife? Same Bible everyone uses; it is agreed it was copied verbatim down
through the ages.
So why are there a gazillion affiliations not in agreement with what it says?
If it is such an important road map to the afterlife, why can the
majority of people who read it not discern what it says?
There is a reason for that; it was meant to be that way. It is why what
started out five or more years ago as a single page tract handout on salvation
has turned into a 145 page book on how to get to heaven and stay out of hell at
death. In my book I tell you the
why and what to do to greatly improve your chances of being in the 2.5% lot
instead of the 97.5% lot. Did you know there is a difference between your spirit
going to the Kingdom of Heaven and just staying out of hell at death? Those
going through the second resurrection even though they stayed out of hell at
death may still end up in the lake of fire after the great white throne
judgment. Grace may keep you out of hell first round, but will not buy you the
ticket through the pearly gates into the kingdom. It matters both what you
believe as well as your relationship with your fellow human beings and how you
choose which voice to listen to when decisions are made regarding right and
wrong. If you follow this book
through to the end, I think you will find a lot of useful information you
won’t get anywhere else; especially in today’s churches.
It should allow you to make better decisions in your life that ensure
your salvation and your spirit’s journey to the correct destination when you
pass on.
Today’s main topic regards the Easter season that is upon
us.
What do you celebrate, Easter or Passover?
Is there a difference? Which does the Bible and God’s word require us
to celebrate? Is Passover just for the Jews?
The main jist of this newsletter can be found at www.detailshere.com/passover.htm
as well as www.detailshere.com/easter.htm
. Unless you have studied church
history you won’t know these differences. The main church throughout the time
period from about 300AD up until the reformation started by Luther which brought
about other churches such as the Lutherans , Methodists and others was the Roman
Catholic church. Rome persecuted
Christians, the true followers of Jesus, by feeding them to the lions for
entertainment and killing them as enemies of the Roman empire up until a Roman
leader named Constantine got this vision of a cross in the sky, won a battle,
and decided all of Rome should then be Christian. The problem then became how to
convert the large pagan population that had all these different gods they
worshipped to Christianity. The
answer was in combining pagan traditions, beliefs and practices in with
Christian beliefs to make the transition palatable to both parties. Did you ever
wonder where Christmas trees, yule logs, holly wreaths, mistle toe, lights on
trees, and gift giving at Christmas ever came from?
It wasn’t from the Bible. These parts of Christmas were in place long
before the birth of Jesus as part of the pagan celebration of Saturn the sungod
on Dec 25th. We all know Jesus was born in late Aug-Sept-early Oct
range, not in December. The birth
of Jesus was simply added into the mix to make a pagan celebration palatable to
Christians. Those pagan traditions erroneously remain with us to this day. They
are so entrenched in people’s routine that few recognize them for what they
are and are able to disassociate themselves from them.
It was hard for us to give up Christmas; but we finally did.
The same holds for Easter. There is no Easter in the Bible. Easter as a pagan
celebration of the goddess Oestre and fertility rites involving newborn chicks
and highly reproductive rabbits, and colored egg hunts was in place long before
Jesus was crucified on the cross. And again, to satisfy both pagans as well as
Christians, the flavoring of the resurrection was added to a pagan celebration
to make it palatable to all. That
poses a dilemma for true Christians today. Do you go on easter egg hunts with
your kids after church teaching them erroneous pagan traditions?
Or do you celebrate Passover with the Jews who celebrate it erroneously
today; combining Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread into one event
instead of keeping them separate for the separate events in history they
represent? Satan has done his
job of confusion well so most Christians don’t know what they are doing.
Keeping
Passover each year is not a Mosaic Law or a Jewish thing. It is God’s command
in Exodus 12:14 that ALL of us shall observe this day throughout all
generations, FOREVER. That’s pretty simple language to tell us Passover is for
ALL of us to observe, EVERY year, once a year, FOREVER. The requirement to observe Passover did not go out with the
cross.
"AND
THIS DAY SHALL BE UNTO YOU FOR A MEMORIAL; and ye shall KEEP IT A FEAST to the
Lord throughout your generations; ye shall keep it a FEAST by an ordinance FOR
EVER" (Exo.12:7-14).
I think most Christians understand that during Passover in
33AD that Jesus became the Passover lamb when he was crucified on the cross.
But they fail to understand that the original Passover in 1548BC
pointed forward to the crucifixion event in 33AD. Let’s analyze both
events chronologically. The dates
Nisan 14 and Nisan 15 are important here. Nisan 14 is today and started last
evening on April 13th at sundown.
In God’s time the day runs from sundown to sundown. The first half of
the day is dark, like 7pm to 7am, and
the second 12 hours of Nisan 14 is light, like 7am to 7pm on April 14th,
today. Nisan 15th starts tonight, April 14th , at sundown
and extends to sundown tomorrow night April
15th. Tonight is a full
moon, supposedly even a blood red moon at that, and represents the light God
used to lead the Israelites out of Egypt on that night of Nisan 15 back in
1548BC.
Easter isn’t celebrated until a week later, April 20th, and has
really nothing to do with God’s timing.
Passover
is named for the event, occurring at midnight on Nisan 14, approximately 1548BC,
which was executed by God. It received it’s name for the sparing of Israel’s
firstborn, during the night in which the destroyer, Satan’s angel of death,
passed over all the houses in Egypt, sparing only the children of Israel their
firstborn from the plague of death, while they were still in their houses, in
the land of Egypt, BEFORE the Exodus took place. God didn’t kill the firstborn
of the Egyptians that night but He allowed Satan, the destroyer, to do so.
Exodus 12:23 states “….and will not suffer (or allow) the destroyer
to come in unto your houses to smite you.”
Satan is the destroyer.
To
prevent Satan’s angel of death from also killing the firstborn of the
Israelites, God’s instructions to the Israelites were to sacrifice a lamb at
the beginning of Nisan14 as soon as the sun went down on the end of Nisan 13,
and spread it’s blood over the lintel and doorposts of each house if they
wanted their firstborn to be spared. They had to kill and roast the lamb and eat
it completely that night , stay inside their houses until dawn,
and burn any remains of the lamb not eaten by the following morning. Exodus12:7-13 covers this.
The
Passover derives it’s name from this event, passing over of the Israelite
houses marked in lamb’s blood, in
which God allowed Satan, the destroyer, as the tenth plague on Egypt,
to kill all of Egypt’s firstborn as the final step in
redeeming the entire nation of Israel from the bondage of slavery. The
redemption of God was their only salvation from that bondage of slavery. Their
slavery was a bondage to sin, and the ultimate penalty for sin is death.
Pharoh
called Moses that night after the slaughter at midnight and told him to get his
people the flock out of there. But the people were told by God to stay inside
their houses until morning.
During the daylight 12 hours of Nisan 14, the Israelites
- all 2 million of them (actually it says 600,000 men but with kids and
wives it is assumed that meant 2-3 million people) gathered their belongings,
took spoils from the Egyptians who gave them stuff to hasten their departure,
and assembled at Rameses for the journey out of Egypt.
When Nisan
14 ended and Nisan 15 began under a full moon like tonight April 14 our time,
the Israelites started their trek out of Egypt. As they were in a hurry and there wasn’t time for bread to
rise, this time period of the exodus was called the Feast of Unleavened bread.
But keep in mind the Passover which occurred at midnight on Nisan 14 was
a separate event from the exodus from Egypt that began the following evening
beginning Nisan 15th.
Between 1548BC and 33AD the Jewish people somehow combined these two separate
events into a single feast and called it the feast of unleavened bread. They
also call it Passover but don’t distinguish between the two separate events.
Passover is not a feast day in itself, but ushers in the feast days of
unleavened bread.
This
distinction is important because in 33 AD Jesus and His disciples are the only
ones who celebrated the Passover correctly at the appointed time when they held
the last supper and Jesus broke the bread symbolizing healing and his beating at
the whipping post He was about to go through later that night, which paid for
your healing, and drank the wine
symbolizing His blood let at crucifixion which paid for all our sins and rescued
us from the damage that Adam had done in the garden of Eden when he ate of the
forbidden fruit and turned all
rights of humankind over to Satan. When Jesus was crucified in the day time
portion of Nisan 14 he became the sacrifical lamb; just like the lambs who
supplied the blood for the door posts and lintels back in 1548BC.
It is why
God commands us in Exo.12:7-14 to
keep Passover as a memorial forever and ever. It doesn’t refer to just the
Passover of 1548BC, it refers also to what it pointed forward to, Jesus being
the Passover lamb on Nisan 14 in
33AD, even though the command is covered in the old testament.
God
doesn’t tell us to keep easter and go on easter egg hunts a week later.
We have been led astray by a church steeped in paganism since inception
and whose errors were never corrected by the reformers Luther, Wesley, etc. Why
do we go to church on Sunday today? Jesus and his disciples held Saturday as
Sabbath. What gave the RC the right
to change Saturday to Sunday? They
admit to doing so. Saturday is the 7th day of the week, Sunday is the
first, just look at your calendars. That’s
an interesting story also, but for another time. Anyway, I hope you take
communion today, while Nisan 14 is still in progress.
And I don’t chastise anyone for celebrating the resurrection on April
20th even though you are a few days too late.

Is
Easter the same as Passover?
Is Passover just for the Jews, who are still waiting for Christ to come
the first time and don't believe the Jesus who came 2000 years ago was really
the Messiah? Do they keep the Passover today the same way God commanded back at
the Exodus? Is Easter
a Christian Holiday or a pagan celebration of the Roman pagan Goddess
Eostre? Is timing important as
Easter is normally celebrated after Passover every year? What do chicks, and egg
hunts, and giving bunny rabbits to children have to do with it?
Go to www.detailshere.com/easter.htm
if you want to know the truth about Easter.
Also see www.detailshere.com/trueorigins.htm This page will deal with the truth about Passover.
Why do we need to know this?
We
are in the endtimes folks; the last days on earth.
Easter is NOT one of Yahweh's Feastdays; but neither is Christmas, or
Halloween, or Valentine's Day either.
These all belong to the mimicer, the guy who wants us to burn with him in the
lake of burning suphur at the end of the millenium.
The birthpangs spoken of in Revelation are getting closer and closer
together and the intensity is increasing, much more so in this last decade than
all the previous years put together. The second coming is getting very very
close, and apostacy in the church, drifting away from the truth to the lies of
Satan, keeps spreading to drive
Christians further and further from the truth and what Yahweh wants of them.
What ARE Yahweh's words regarding Passover and His Holy Annual Feast Days?
"AND
THIS DAY SHALL BE UNTO YOU FOR A MEMORIAL; and ye shall KEEP IT A FEAST to the
Lord throughout your generations; ye shall keep it a FEAST by an ordinance FOR
EVER" (Exo.12:7-14).
Moreover
also I gave them my sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, that they might
know that I am the LORD that sanctify them. Ezekiel 20:12
And
hallow my sabbaths; and they shall be a sign between me and you, that ye may
know that I am the LORD your God. Ezekiel 12:20
Exodus
31:13 Speak thou also unto the
children of Israel, saying, Verily my sabbaths (plural - verse 14 speaks of the
weekly sabbath so we know this is referring to the annual feastday sabbaths and
may well include the weekly sabbath too but this verse does not speak of many
weekly sabbaths) ye shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout
your generations; that ye may know that I am the LORD that doth sanctify you.
There's
four passages above that tell me that
Yahweh's other sabbaths, His annual Holy Feast Days, didn't go out with the
cross and that Yahweh wants me to keep them if I want to be claimed as His and
protected from the wrath of the coming tribulation period.
So
just what IS Passover and where did it originate?
It's
not a quick explanation but it's a fascinating story, and it really happened. This is as precise and as short as my research could boil it
down to.
Passover
is an EVENT that actually happened in approximately 1548BC, at midnight, on
Nisan 14, the 14th day of the first month of the year, in the spring on the
night preceding the night of the exodus of the Israelites from Egypt. The Exodus
began at the evening of the beginning of Nisan 15.
See my wife's page at http://www.iisusbog.com/p29ead.htm
for timeline info.
Let
us summarize what the Passover means to us. Keeping Passover each year is not a
Mosaic Law or a Jewish thing. It is God’s command in Exodus 12:14 that ALL of
us shall observe this day throughout all generations, FOREVER. That’s pretty
simple language to tell us Passover is for ALL of us to observe, EVERY year,
once a year, FOREVER.
The
requirement to observe Passover did not go out with the cross.
Easter
is NOT Passover. Easter is man’s concoction. Easter is a pagan celebration,
mixing pagan traditions of the celebration of the Goddess Oestre with a
Christian icing of the resurrection to make it palatable to the deceived and
uninformed. Easter was created when pagans were being brought over to
Christianity, bringing their pagan baggage with them. Easter is not God's
holiday. Neither are Christmas , Saint Valentines Day or Halloween. These are
not God’s
Holy
FeastDays ; they ALL have pagan roots.
Passover
is not one of God's holy feastdays in itself but ushers in the Feast of
Unleavened Bread wherein the first and last days of the Feast of Unleavened
bread are Sabbaths – meaning rest, worship and no work on those days. Passover
is a commemoration of the "Passing Over" and occurs on
April 13th this year. The beginning of that day is Sunday evening, April
13, at sundown and it extends to sundown Monday, April 14th. The Feast of
unleavened bread goes from April 14th through April 21st. Remember God’s days
are sundown to sundown, not midnight to midnight. And the dark half of the day
comes before the light half of the day. So 7pm to 7am might be considered the
dark half and 7am to 7pm after that would be considered the light second half of
that day.
Passover
means “passing over”. Jews today claim that the Passover commemorates the
exodus from Egypt, but that is not what the Bible says. It was a completely
different specific event preceding the exodus by a whole day.
Passover
is named for the event, occurring at midnight on Nisan 14, approximately 1548BC,
which was executed by God. It received it’s name for the sparing of Israel’s
firstborn, during the night in which the destroyer, Satan’s angel of death,
passed over all the houses in Egypt, sparing only the children of Israel their
firstborn from the plague of death, while they were still in their houses, in
the land of Egypt, BEFORE the Exodus took place. God didn’t kill the firstborn
of the Egyptians that night but He allowed Satan, the destroyer, to do so.
Exodus 12:23 states “….and will not suffer (or allow) the destroyer
to come in unto your houses to smite you.”
Satan is the destroyer.
To
prevent Satan’s angel of death from also killing the firstborn of the
Israelites, God’s instructions to the Israelites were to sacrifice a lamb at
the beginning of Nisan14 as soon as the sun went down on the end of Nisan 13,
and spread it’s blood over the lintel and doorposts of each house if they
wanted their firstborn to be spared. They had to kill and roast the lamb and eat
it completely that night , stay inside their houses until dawn,
and burn any remains of the lamb not eaten by the following morning. Exodus12:7-13 covers this.
The
Passover derives it’s name from this event, passing over of the Israelite
houses marked in lamb’s blood, in
which God allowed Satan, the destroyer, as the tenth plague on Egypt,
to kill all of Egypt’s firstborn as the final step in
redeeming the entire nation of Israel from the bondage of slavery. The
redemption of God was their only salvation from that bondage of slavery. Their
slavery was a bondage to sin, and the ultimate penalty for sin is death.
The
Passover has great significance for us Christians today in relationship to
God’s passing over our sins through the sacrifice and blood of Jesus Christ,
and sparing us from the penalty of sin, which is eternal death. Keeping Yahweh's
Holy Feast Days today also has significance as it points forward to God knowing
who belong to Him so He can protect them from the coming 7 plagues of
tribulation just as He protected the Israelites from 7 of the 10 plagues He cast
on the Egyptians. The Israelites went through the first three along with the
Egyptians.
But
we are getting ahead of the story.
Let’s
first set the stage with how the Israelites got to Egypt in the first place and
needed removal from the bondage of slavery.
Let’s
go back to Abraham who had two sons first; Ishmael from his wife’s servant
Hagar because his wife was so old they didn’t feel she could have a child.
This was man’s attempt to fix the problem of creating descendants. The
descendants of Ishmael constitute the Muslim nation today.
And
Abraham and Sarah finally had Isaac,
the child God had promised to Abraham from his wife Sarah. Sarah was about 90
years old when she had Isaac, a true miracle. This was God’s real solution to
the problem of creating descendants and an ancestry for Abraham. Abraham had
many more sons after Sarah died also but we are interested in where Isaac came
from.
Isaac
had two sons, Jacob and Esau. Jacob , with the help of his mother, tricked Isaac
who was nearly blind in old age into giving him the family blessings instead of
Esau, who was the rightful heir. This caused a falling out between Jacob and
Esau and Jacob left to seek work and habitation elsewhere. Jacob fell in love
with a gal named Rachel and made a deal to work for her father for 7 years for
her hand, but on their wedding night her father switched daughters on him in the
bedroom and because Jacob was drunk he ended up consummating the marriage with
Leah instead of Rachel but still had to work off his 7 year deal promised to her
father. At the end of the 7 years he made another 7 year deal to then marry
Rachel. To make a long story short, between Leah, Leah’s maid, Rachel and
Rachel’s maid , Jacob ended up with 12 sons and a daughter. But he favored
Joseph and Benjamin because they came from Rachel whom he loved so much. Because
he favored Joseph, the rest of the brothers were very jealous of Joseph, and on
a trip sold him into Egyptian slavery. Benjamin
did not go along on that trip because he was too young.
But
Joseph was a smart boy and made many suggestions to his Egyptian captors to
increase their productivity and wealth. So
much so that he soon was put in charge of much of Pharoh’s holdings and even
became the governor of all of Egypt. Then
there was a great famine. Joseph was warned by God and knew about this ahead of
time and had stored up 7 years worth of grain and goods to carry Egypt through
this time period. Jacob, Joseph’s father, who had been told Joseph was dead
long ago, in desperation as they had run out of food,
sent his sons to Egypt to try and get food. Joseph recognized his
brothers and sent food and word to his father Jacob to come to Egypt where there
was food aplenty to share with them. They
were given a 300 square mile territory, approximately 20 miles long by 15 miles
wide, called the land of Goshen in which to live. This is where the children of
Israel lived and multiplied for over 250 years. The Bible says 400 years, but
the few ancestral lines don't seem to support that length of time.
Now
this all worked out until Joseph passed away, as well as the Pharoh he served.
Then troubles began. In Exodus 1 starting with Verse 7 we find the children of
Israel were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and waxed
exceedingly mighty; and the land was filled with them. Then
there arose up a new king over Egypt, which didn’t know Joseph. And he
said unto his people, behold, the people of the children of Israel are more and
mightier than we. Come, let us deal wisely with them; lest they multiply, and it
came to pass, that, when there falleth out any war, they join also unto our
enemies, and fight against us, and so get them up out of the land.
Therefore
they did set over them taskmasters to afflict them with their burdens. And they
built for Pharaoh treasure cities, Pithom and Ramses. But the more they
afflicted them, the more they multiplied and grew. And they were grieved because
of the children of Israel. And the Egyptians made the children of Israel to
serve with intense labor. And they made their lives bitter with hard bondage, in
mortar, and in brick, and in all manner of service in the field. Pharoh even
tried to kill all the newborns that were males, which leads us in to the Moses
story.
Moses
enters the picture
Along
comes Moses, a male Israelite, supposed to be killed along with all other male
newborns, hidden for three months after birth, but was set adrift on the river
in a basket of reeds where an Egyptian lady, Pharoh’s daughter,
found him and adopted him, hired Moses’ real mom unknowingly to nurse
him, and raised him up as an
Egyptian.
But
Moses knew he was an Israelite and after watching the cruelty of the Egyptians
over the Israelite slaves one day stopped one of these beatings and accidently
killed the Egyptian. This sent him into the wilderness away from Egypt for 40
years tending flocks as a common shepherd until one day a burning bush ignited
in front of him, was not consumed, and
it was God from it speaking to him.
God,
remembering his covenant with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, told Moses to go
free his people from Egyptian slavery. Moses said, whoooah Lord, I ain’t up to
that, they won’t listen to me, who am I, that I should go unto Pharaoh, and
that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt?
God said, I will be with you, take your brother Aaron and go. I will take
care of everything.
Well,
Pharoh had a hard heart and wasn’t about to let his slaves go. Moses even
threw down his staff and it turned into a snake to show God’s power; but
Pharoh wasn’t impressed. His magicians could do the same thing.
God then cast plagues over all Egypt.
The first was turning all the waters blood red to where the fish died and
stank and nobody could drink the water. That didn’t work so God then made
frogs be abundant. There were frogs everywhere, covering the land of Egypt. But
Pharoh gave in only for a short while and as soon as the frogs were gone he
again refused to let the Israelites go. The God turned the dust into lice that
plagued man as well as beast. Again Pharoh relented only until the lice were
gone, then again went into the refusal mode.
It
is interesting to note that the Israelites went through three of these plagues
also but were spared from seven of them.. Seven
of the plagues affected Egyptian land but did not extend into the Land of Goshen
where the Israelites lived. This points forward to God protecting us from the
tribulation and the 7 bowls of wrath that will be poured out just before Jesus
comes at the second coming.
Well,
to make a long story short, besides the water turning to blood and the frogs,
and the lice, God plagued the
Egyptians with flies which covered the land, cast disease upon the Egyptian
cattle, put boils upon the skin of the Egyptians, brought thunder and hail to
destroy the crops of the Egyptians, brought swarms of locusts over all Egypt to
consume and eat their crops, and
brought darkness for three days all over the land.
Each
time Pharoh agreed to let the slaves go only to change his mind as soon as the
plague was lifted.
Plagues
of Egypt
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plagues_of_Egypt
The
plagues as they appear in the Bible are:
1.
(Exodus 7:14-25) rivers and other water sources turned to blood killing all fish
and other water life. (Dam)
2.
(Exodus 7:26-8:11) amphibians (commonly believed to be frogs) (Tsfardeia)
3.
(Exodus 8:12-15) lice or gnats (Kinim)
4.
(Exodus 8:16-28) flies or beasts (Arov)
5.
(Exodus 9:1-7) disease on livestock (Dever)
6.
(Exodus 9:8-12) unhealable boils (Shkhin)
7.
(Exodus 9:13-35) hail mixed with fire (Barad)
8.
(Exodus 10:1-20) locusts (Arbeh)
9.
(Exodus 10:21-29) darkness (Choshech)
10.
(Exodus 11:1-12:36) death of the first-born of all Egyptian families. (Makat
Bechorot)
The
tenth plague, the death of all firstborn, was
the clincher though. From Exodus 11:5 And all the firstborn in the land of Egypt
shall die, from the first born of Pharaoh that sitteth upon his throne, even
unto the firstborn of the maidservant that is behind the mill; and all the
firstborn of all the beasts. Even
with this severe of a warning and in light of the other nine plagues which had
come true and were testimony to God’s power; Pharoh would still not let the
Israelites go; although the rest of the Egyptians were by now wanting to get rid
of them.
God
protected His people, the Israelites, by giving them instructions on how to
protect themselves from this intense plague by painting their doorposts and
lintels of their houses with the blood of the lamb and to stay inside their
houses and not come out until sunrise the next day.
At midnight, that night, a few hours after the beginning of nisan14, God
allowed the destroyer, Satan, to kill all the firstborn of any house in Egypt
not containing the blood of the lamb on the door posts and lintels. The
destroyer had to PASSOVER and not kill the firstborn in any house that contained
the blood painted doorposts and lintels. That
event, at midnight, in 1548BC, the passing over of the Israelite houses
containing the blood of the Passover lambs on their doorposts was the first
Passover.
God
commands us to remember Passover
each
year on the correct day, at the beginning of Nisan 14,
in the evening, forever and ever as it pointed forward to the sacrifice
of Yahshua on the cross who became our Passover lamb some 1575 years later to
rescue us from the bondage of sin.
Many
have tried to tell us this was all a fairy tale; that in reality it never
happened. However recent archeological finds have discovered accounts of these
plagues in Egyptian related writings including the deaths of the Egyptian
firstborn on this fateful night.
Many
try to tell us the exodus of several million people from the land of Goshen in
Egypt never happened either, but recent archeological finds at the Gulf of
Aquaba on the Red Sea where a land bridge lies just under the waters there have
turned up chariot parts of that era, bones of horses, and other artifacts that
tell us the spreading of the waters across the red sea and the entrapment of
Pharoh’s army really did happen. See
http://www.arkdiscovery.com/red_sea_crossing.htm
and http://tempodofim2.tripod.com/Exodo.htm
( in Spanish) for many pics about the Exodus, maps of the route, pic of
the underwater landbridge under the sea at the crossing site, newspaper articles
and many pics of chariot parts still underwater. Also see http://www.wyattmuseum.com/red-sea-crossing.htm
and http://www.detailshere.com/exoduspath.htm
for the exodus path our spy satellite above earth found and how it found
it.
The
first Passover which initiated freeing of the Israelites from the bondage of
slavery has much significance and points forward to the death of
Yahshua, the lamb of God, on the
cross which initiated freeing us from the bondage of sin some 1575 years later.
It
is God’s command in Exodus 12:14 that ALL of us shall observe this day
throughout all generations, FOREVER. It is NOT a Jewish thing, it is NOT a
Mosaic law that went out with the cross. It is simply Yahweh’s command and
keeping Passover annually is one of God’s ways to know that you belong to Him
so He can seal you from harm during the tribulation period coming soon.
Again, Easter is NOT Passover. Easter is Satan’s substitute pagan
celebration of eggs, and chicks and pretty bunnies symbolizing pagan fertility
rites created so you will not honor God’s Passover.
Yahweh has seven special times each year that are HIS. We will discuss
each as they come along.
Passover
is not a feastday in itself
but
a commemoration of the "passing over" and
ushers in the Feast of Unleavened Bread wherein the first and last days
are Sabbaths – meaning rest, worship and no work on those days, April 14th and
April 21st. Passover occurs on
Sunday day April 14th this year (beginning Sunday April 13th at sundown) The
Feast of unleavened bread goes from April 14th through April 21st. Remember
God’s days are sundown to sundown, not midnight to midnight.
Why
unleavened bread? One of the things
we are required to do during the week of the Feast of Unleavened Bread is to
have NO leaven or yeast in our homes and to use no yeast in cooking during that
week. As the exodus from Egypt was abrupt, bread did not have time to rise. They
threw the unrisen bread over their shoulders, stuffed dough into their clothes
and began the Exodus; hence the FeastDay week called the Feast of Unleavened
Bread.
Scripture commands that Passover be observed separately from the 7 days
of the Feast of Unleavened bread. God
did not establish Passover day as a memorial of the Exodus. Passover was
established as a memorial to
commemorate Yahweh’s passing over of the houses of the Israelites to protect
their firstborn from the destroyer who was allowed to kill all the firstborn
Egyptians. The Feast of Unleavened
Bread, which begins on the following day, when the sun sets at the end of the
14th day and the beginning the
fifteenth day of Nisan, is the feast that Yahweh established to commemorate the
Exodus from Egypt. These are different events, occurring on different days, and
are not to be celebrated on the same day.
Jews
have combined these two feasts erroneously instead of keeping them separate and
now call the both of them the celebration of passover.
Think
of the logistics
of
moving 2 to 3 million people with all their flocks and herds. Exodus 12 clearly
records that the children of Israel departed as an organized group from Rameses. Leaving the morning following the Passover would not allow
time for 2 million people to gather their belongings and travel to Rameses from
their houses and assemble in their marching order before beginning the Exodus.
Numbers 33 also states that the Egyptians were burying their dead. How
many? Doesn’t say, but if you
consider 10 Egyptians for every Israelite (remember the Egyptians killed all
male Israelites to keep the population down) and there were 600,000 Israelite
men, and 1 in 5 Egyptians could be a first born; that still leaves several
million firstborn killed that night. That’s a lot of burials.
It
took all of the rest of the daylight part of the 14th of Nisan to spread the
word that Pharoh wanted them oughta there, to get ready to move out, to receive
the spoils of gold and silver and clothing given them by the Egyptians, to pack
up, organize, and then head for Rameses to start the Exodus that evening after
sundown, the beginning of Nisan 15 . The commands of Yahweh recorded in
Leviticus 23 confirm the separate identity of these two events.
It
is also interesting to note that the Egyptians “spoiled”, or heaped upon the
Israelites all the clothing and jewelry they desired.
They gave to the Israelites many gifts of silver and gold and clothing
for their departure AFTER the completion of all the plagues because Yahweh gave
them favor in the eyes of the Egyptians. The
Egyptians who were NOT killed in the final plague of death must have been in
absolute terror that God would strike them down, as He had their firstborn.
Fearful of being struck dead they gave the children of Israel everything
they asked for.
The
Book of Numbers (Numbers 33:1-5) gives us an account of their departure from
Rameses. Numbers 33:3 specifically states the children of Israel
departed Rameses on the 15th day of the first month. Deuteronomy 16 shows their
departure began at sunset, the beginning of Nisan 15, and continued late into the night on the 16th.
The
Exodus began from Rameses, not from the houses located in the land of Goshen.
The Exodus began as an organized march, not as a scattered movement of people
and flocks. It took them the daylight part of Nisan 14 to receive their spoils
from the Egyptians and move from their houses in Goshen and organize at the
start point of the Exodus in Rameses where God’s
pillar of light would guide them by night, and a pillar of cloud would
protect them from the hot sun during the day. They marched out of Rameses in the evening just after the sun went down on Nisan 14th at
the beginning of the 15th day. Deuteronomy 16:1 clearly states that Yahweh
brought His children out of Egypt by NIGHT, the beginning of Nisan 15. That is
why God designated the NIGHT of the 15th as a memorial for all generations to
come. Exodus 12:42.
This
is where it gets sticky as the Jews no longer differentiate between the two
events.
Exodus
12:37-39 describes their journey from Rameses to Succoth, about 600,000 men on
foot. If every man had a wife and at least one or two kids, that’s a lot of
people. It is hard to comprehend
the magnitude of the Exodus. The
day of the Exodus, leaving from Rameses, is the first day of the Feast of
Unleavened Bread to commemorate the act of Yahweh
bringing them out from the land of Egypt and releasing them from the
bondage of slavery. What’s
interesting is that this whole scenario was prophesied in Genesis 15:13-14 where
Abraham was told his seed would be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, his
seed shall serve them, and afterwards they will come out with great substance.
We
know what happened next when they got to the Red Sea and Pharoh again changed
his mind and went after them with his army to kill them all. God separated the
waters of the Red Sea and dried the sea bed floor so the children of Israel
could cross over to the other side. After they had crossed he then protected
them even further by disabling the chariots; wheels came off, axles broke, etc.
Ex 14:24-25. But they still pursued and when God loosed the wind holding the
waters back, they were all drowned. Today, you can dive in this area of the
landbridge, a 600 foot wide shallow shelf underwater with deep water on both
sides of this shelf, at the Gulf of
Aquaba, and find chariot parts encrusted with coral. See http://www.arkdiscovery.com/red_sea_crossing.htm
for many pics.
The
passover was instituted as a one day service, a memorial of God’s passing over
of the Israelite houses, to be observed on the 14th day of the first month.
The Feast of Unleavened Bread was instituted as a seven day observance,
beginning on the 15th day of the first month with the first day commemorating
the first day of the Exodus, leaving at Rameses, and the 7th day commemorating
the completion of the Exodus across the Red Sea with the total destruction of
the enemy at the Red Sea.
Second
Passover and the next 40 years
The
account of Israel’s second Passover ( a year after leaving Egypt) is found in
Numbers chapter 9:1-5. This
Passover was only 2 days after the dedication of the new tabernacle and altar.
And they kept the Passover in the first month, on the 14th day of the
month at dusk (between sunset and dark), at
the beginning of the 14th; not at the end. The scriptural record of Israel’s second Passover shows NO
CHANGE in the time or manner of the observance. It was just like recorded in
Exodus 12. The scriptural account
makes it clear that all the requirements of Exodus 12 were still to be kept.
It also included NOT breaking any of the lamb’s bones (Ex 12:46 ).
Can you see that one pointing forward to when the Romans broke the leg
bones of the two thieves but not of Jesus. This Passover as well as the next
forty, before they occupied the
land of Caanan and built houses, was still performed in each individual tent;
not in the tabernacle, which handled the daily sacrifices. After they occupied
the promised land, the Passover was still observed in their houses.
There is no record, scriptural or historical, of a tabernacle-centered Passover during this time period.
God did not require that the Passover lambs be sacrificed at the
tabernacle. Philo, a Jewish historian, confirms
that the Passover lambs were slain at the houses of the Jews during the first
century AD before the destruction of the temple in AD 70.
On this day the whole nation performs the sacred rites and acts as a
priest.
However,
from the time of the second Passover to Jesus’ day, and forward, the Pharisees
did make changes from God’s commands and they did also institute a temple
Passover. These were man’s
changes, not God’s changes. God
doesn’t change. Let’s look at some of these changes.

The seven days of unleavened bread are incorrectly called Passover.
The
Bible tells us Passover and the Exodus are two separate distinct events.
Here’s
the clincher
When
studying the New Testament accounts of Passover observance, we see that Jesus
Himself, who obeyed God the Father perfectly and never sinned or followed the
traditions of the Jews, kept the domestic Passover meal at the beginning of the
14th of Nisan, Thursday evening, with His disciples.
The 14th of Nisan extended from sundown Thursday
to Friday sundown at dusk. By
that time it was Jewish practice to not only have a domestic Passover followed
by a temple Passover sacrifice also in which lambs were slain late in the
afternoon but still on Nisan 14 and were eaten then on Nisan 15.
This is where the celebrating of both Passover and commemorating the
exodus by the Jews was erroneously combined into one event and they called it
the Passover. Despite the fact that
there is no command from God anywhere to support a temple Passover sacrifice,
this practice became a national tradition among the Jews.
This deviation from the commands of God completely overlooks the separate
meanings of the Passover and the
Feast of Unleavened bread which commemorates the Exodus.
And
although the destruction of the temple in 70AD ended the temple sacrifice of the
lambs, the tradition of a Nisan 15 passover did not die.
Today most Jews believe that the 15th day of the first month is the day
God set aside for the Passover. How can they believe that when scripture clearly
says otherwise? They also ignore over 300 prophecies in the Old Testament that
foretold the coming of the Messiah and still don’t believe Jesus came the
first time. God commanded that the Passover be observed at the beginning of the
14th day; not at the end of the 14th day or the beginning of the 15th day.
It
is interesting to note that in the Passover week when Jesus was crucified that
Friday, which most churches now call Good Friday; it was Nisan 14 - the
preparation day when the lambs were sacrificed late in the afternoon by the Jews
of that time period - the same time that Jesus, Yahshua the Messiah was hung on
the cross to die.
And,
if Jesus and His disciples were the only ones who held the Passover meal (called
the last supper) at the time specified in the Old testament by Yahweh (see
Exodus 12 and Numbers 9) , at the beginning of Nisan 14, how do we justify that
He was the Passover lamb which was supposed to have been slain at the BEGINNING
of Nisan 14 instead of at the end which had become the erroneous Jewish
practice?
The
answer - Jesus did not take issue with the teaching of the Pharisees concerning
the Torah, or Law, or the proper times for the holy days and festivals of God to
be observed even though they were now teaching some errors.
Rather, He Himself, with all the authority of Heaven, declared: "The
scribes and the PHARISEES SIT IN MOSES' SEAT: ALL THEREFORE WHATSOEVER THEY BID
YOU OBSERVE, THAT OBSERVE AND DO . . ." (Matt.23:2-3).
How
plain! Since the Pharisees sat in MOSES' SEAT, their authority in teaching the
laws and statutes and holy days of God was BINDING UPON ALL THE CHURCH;
erroneous or not! They taught that Passover should be observed at the closing or
ending of the 14th of Nisan, not at the beginning of the day! The Passover lambs
were killed in the LATE AFTERNOON, AT THE VERY TIME JESUS CHRIST,
OUR PASSOVER LAMB, WAS SLAIN AND SHED HIS BLOOD FOR OUR SINS! Therefore, Jesus,
per the current authorities was a PERFECT substitute of the original Passover
lamb!
As
Nisan 15, was a sabbath holy day - the first day of unleavened bread, Saturday ,
which started Friday at sundown, the Roman soldiers made sure everyone on the
cross that day was dead before sunset, hence the breaking of the legs routine to
hasten death for the other two people on the cross next to Jesus. Jesus was
already dead by then so they didn't have to break his legs; which was
prophesied. Remember Exodus 12:26 which said not to break the bones of the
Passover lambs. But Jesus was dead before sunset and the start of the Nisan15th
sabbath holy day.
When
Jesus expired, as he was the sacrificial lamb of that Passover, the curtain in
the temple was torn in two which signified an end to the system of animal
sacrifices for the remission of sin. Yahshua's death paid the price for all
men's sins, IF, people just believed in that and accepted that gift of God
called grace.
How
was Jesus in the ground for three days and three nights
It
was just after that last supper, actually during, because Judas left the table
before all was completed, that Judas betrayed Jesus just before he went to the
Garden of Gesthemane to pray, knowing His time had come.
He
was tried by the Jewish Sanhedrin that night of blasphemy, claiming to be God
and forgiving sins, then taken to Pontius Pilate who found no fault with Him,
then sent to King Herrod who wanted nothing to do with the matter, then back to
Pontius Pilate who feared an uprising if he didn’t do what the Jewish priests
demanded, then He was beaten severely by Roman soldiers and then sent to be
crucified on a wooden cross.
This
all took place from Thursday night after midnight to Friday morning to finally
Friday afternoon when he was actually crucified around 3pm our time, all on
Nisan 14. Jesus WAS the Passover
Lamb and as such needed to be killed on the preparation day, between Thursday
evening sundown and Friday evening sundown. . He was put in the tomb Friday
about 6pm BEFORE sundown, thus was in the grave for part of Friday. Luke 22:54
tells us this was still the preparation day. He rested all of Saturday which was
a Sabbath, the First Day of Unleavened Bread, as well as the weekly Saturday
Sabbath; second day in the grave. Remember
Saturday ends at Saturday evening sundown and Sunday starts at Saturday evening
sundown. He continued to rest in the ground during the first part of Sunday
which we consider as Saturday evening after sundown and early Sunday morning. He
was resurrected on what we consider Sunday morning but really it was already
probably ten hours or so into Sunday, the first day of the week, third day in
the grave. When Mary and Mary
came to anoint Jesus, they couldn’t do it on the Sabbath which was Saturday,
up until Saturday sundown, but came
on the first day of the week; Luke 24:1-7 and Mark 16:1 tell us this.
Most
people don’t have a hard time understanding the three days in the grave; but
they have a hard time with how do we get three nights out of it, because Matthew
12:40 says, "as Jonah was three days and three nights in the whale's belly
; so shall the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the
earth".
Inclusive
reckoning will be able to give three days, as was shown above, but it will not
be able to explain three nights.
There is a need for a further examination of the traditional interpretation to
cover the three nights.
There
is little evidence anywhere to show that the "heart of the earth"
means just death or in the grave. In
1Peter 3:18-19 we learn that when
Jesus, “being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit…. went
and preached unto the spirits in prison”; probably means the fallen angels
chained in the abyss. Jude 1:6 talks about , “And the angels which kept not
their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in
everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.”
2Peter 2:4 says, “For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but
cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be
reserved unto judgment.” Perhaps these fallen angels were the subjects of
Jesus’ preaching to the spirits during His three days and three nights.
Jesus
said that He would be in the heart of the earth as Jonah was in the belly of the
whale. When Jonah was in the whale's belly he was not dead, instead he was in
captivity. Jonah remained in captivity until he came out of the whale. Similarly
Jesus being in the heart of the earth for three days and three nights refers to
the period He allowed Himself to be in captivity. Jesus was in captivity first
when He was arrested in Gethsemane by the band of men and officers from the
chief priests shotky after midnight Thursday of Nisan 14, then He was in
captivity by the Roman Army, and finally He was in captivity by death. This
period of captivity was from Thursday night (considered Friday by Yahweh’s
calendar) to Sunday morning, three days and three nights!!
In
Matthew 26:45 it can be seen that just before Jesus permitted Himself to be
arrested in Gethsemane on the Mount of Olives on Thursday evening, He said to
His disciples, "behold the hour is at hand", also translated "the
time has come". This meant that that moment was the start of a special
predicted time. This was the start
of the three days and three nights period.
There
is no doubt that Jesus was crucified on Friday the Preparation Day, and
resurrected on Sunday morning, if people understand that the period in the
"heart of the earth" was the period of captivity, not just the
physical time spent in the tomb.
The
Significance of Jesus’ sacrifice.
Jesus'
sacrifice, the central message of Passover, was a supreme act of love for
humanity. This important event laid the foundation for the remaining annual Holy
Days and festivals. It is the most momentous step in God's plan.
Just
before the Passover feast, Jesus said that "for this purpose I came to this
hour ... And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all peoples to
Myself" (John 12:27, 32).
The
day on which this profound event, the crucifixion, transpired was the 14th day
of the first month of God's calendar, the same day on which the Passover lambs
were killed (Leviticus 23:5). Paul later wrote the congregation at Corinth that
"Christ, our Passover, was sacrificed for us" (1 Corinthians 5:7).
Jesus
Christ bought us with His blood, pouring out His life as our Passover lamb so
God could forgive our sins.
Why
did Jesus Christ have to die? Our Savior had to die because that was the only
way God could forgive our sins. The Bible tells us that sin is the violation of
God's law of love (1 John 3:4). We have all sinned and fallen short of the glory
of God (Romans 3:23). We have each earned the death penalty for our disobedience
(Romans 5:12; 6:23).
Paul
illustrated the profound love of Jesus Christ in giving up His life on our
behalf (Romans 5:6-8). All would be doomed eternally had not somehow the penalty
for our sins been paid. Christ, who lived a perfect life as the unblemished Lamb
of God, substituted His death for ours. In fact, His death was the only possible
substitution for ours. His sacrifice became the payment for our sins. He died in
our place so we could share life with Him forever. We can no longer live
according to our own desires. We become God's redeemed, or bought and paid-for,
possession (1 Corinthians 6:19-20).
Both
Jesus and the apostle Paul made it clear that the Passover is to continue as a
Christian observance. Jesus Himself instituted new Passover symbols and
practices to teach Christians important truths about Himself and God's
continuing plan of salvation.
The
Passover in the Old Testament foreshadowed Christ's crucifixion. The New
Testament Passover is a memorial of that crucifixion. By observing it, we
"proclaim the Lord's death till He comes" (1 Corinthians 11:26). Now
let's examine and the lessons we should learn from it.
What
were Christ's specific instructions concerning the Passover ceremony that we as
modern
day
Christians should follow?
When?
God’s
instructions haven’t changed. Numbers 9:11 still tells us to eat the Passover
meal at the beginning of Nisan 14. In 2008 that is April 19th but that day in
God’s time STARTS Friday evening
at sundown (April 18th per our calendar). The passover meal and accompanying foot washing ceremony and communion should occur on Friday
evening. Jewish tradition celebrates the
Passover meal a day later, Nisan 15, in error.
Feet
Washing
During
the Passover meal (the last supper – at the beginning of Nisan 14 when Exodus
12 says it is supposed to be held) Jesus "rose from supper and laid aside
His garments, took a towel and girded Himself. After that, He poured water into
a basin and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel
with which He was girded" (John 13:1-5).
Washing
guests' feet was normally the job of the lowliest household servant. In the
first century it was an act of hospitality. Rather than ask a servant to perform
this function for His guests, Jesus humbly chose to carry it out Himself to
teach an important spiritual lesson. The account continues: "So when He had
washed their feet, taken His garments, and sat down again, He said to them, 'Do
you know what I have done to you? You call me Teacher and Lord, and you say
well, for so I am. If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you
also ought to wash one another's feet'"
(John
13: 12-14).
Jesus
left His disciples with a lasting reminder of the importance of humble service
to others. The simple act of washing the feet of others teaches us a vital
lesson intimately associated with the Passover. He concluded: "I have given
you an example, that you should do as I have done to you" (John 13:15). How
many Christians today obey this simple instruction to wash each other's feet,
and exemplify that attitude in their lives? As the redeemed possession of God
through Christ's sacrifice, our lives should be devoted to the service of God
and our fellowman.
The
bread: symbol of Christ's body
(Matthew
26:26). "And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, blessed it and broke
it, and gave it to the disciples and said, 'Take, eat; this is My body.'"
Christ's
body was to become a sacrificial offering for sin, for indeed "we have been
sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. Jesus
offered one sacrifice for sins forever ... For by one offering He has perfected
forever those who are being sanctified" (Hebrews 10:10-14). God forgives us
through Jesus Christ's sacrifice, and He "sanctifies" us—sets us
apart—for the holy purpose of obedience to Him.
Our
decision to eat the Passover bread, unleavened bread, bread made without yeast (leaven representing sin)
means we understand that Jesus Christ has "put away sin by the
sacrifice of Himself" (Hebrews 9:26). He willingly consented to suffer an
excruciating death for us. Christ bore in His body the mental and physical
suffering brought on by sin.
Christ
possessed the power to forgive sin (Matthew 9:2-6). Through the forgiveness of
our sins, Christ made possible our receiving of eternal life. "I am the
bread of life," He said. "Your fathers ate the manna in the
wilderness, and are dead. This is the bread which comes down from heaven, that
one may eat of it and not die. I am the living bread which came down from
heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread that I
shall give is My flesh, which I shall give for the life of the world" (John
6:48-51).
The
meaning of the Passover wine representing Christ’s blood.
Why
did Jesus command His disciples to drink wine as a symbol of His blood during
the Passover service? What does this symbolize?
Notice
Matthew's account: "Then He took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to
them, saying, 'Drink from it, all of you. For this is My blood of the new
covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. But I say unto you,
I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I
drink it new with you in My Father's kingdom'" (Matthew 26:27-29).
Christ
knew that drinking wine as a symbol of His shed blood would impress deeply on
our minds that His death was for the forgiveness of our sins. "This do, as
often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me" (1 Corinthians 11:25). Jesus
"loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood" (Revelation
1:5). God forgives our sins through Jesus' shed blood (1 John 1:7).
Paul
explains in Hebrews 9:22 that "according to the Law ... all things are
cleansed with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no forgiveness [of
sin]" .
The
Old Testament records God instructing the priesthood to perform certain duties
that included a system of cleansing and purification using the blood of
sacrificed animals, thus foreshadowing the shedding of Christ's blood, the
ultimate sacrifice for sin. He commanded the nation of Israel to follow this
temporary system of the ritualistic cleansing of sin (Hebrews 9:9-10). Animal
sacrifices served as a type of the one and only real and future sacrifice, Jesus
Christ, who would pay the penalty for everyone's sins once and for all.
The
Bible teaches that one's life is in his blood (Genesis 9:4). When a person loses
sufficient blood, he or she dies. Therefore blood, when poured out, makes the
atonement for sin, which produces death (Leviticus 17:11). Jesus lost His blood
when He was crucified (Luke 22:20; Isaiah 53:12). He poured out His blood, dying
for the sins of humanity.
In
partaking of the wine at the Passover service, we should carefully consider its
meaning. That small portion of wine represents symbolically the very life blood
that flowed from Jesus Christ's dying body for the remission of our sins
(Ephesians 1:7). With this forgiveness comes freedom from eternal death.
Taking
communion, eating of the unleavened bread and drinking the wine leads to a new
way of life
The
Passover bread reminds us of the close relationship Christians have with Jesus
Christ. Eating the bread demonstrates our commitment to allow Christ to live in
us.
The
apostle Paul describes this uniting with Christ in Galatians 2:20: "I have
been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me;
and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God,
who loved me and gave Himself for me." Pursuing your own ways is no longer
your life's focus. Your relationship with Jesus Christ should become extremely
important to you.
The
apostle John tells us what Christ expects of us in our relationship with Him:
"Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments ... He
who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked" (1
John 2:3-6).
If
you talk the talk, you need to walk the walk. Head knowledge won’t save you.
The
Passover bread reinforces our understanding that Jesus Christ, the true
"bread of life," must live within us, enabling us to live an entirely
new life. God forgives our sins to sanctify us—to continue to set us apart for
a holy purpose, to redeem us (that is, purchase us for a price). We now belong
to God so He can fulfill His purpose in us.
God’s
new Testament Covenant with us
We
must understand that repentance (not only being sorry for our sins but turning
from those sins as well), forgiving others if we want God to forgive us,
baptism and the acceptance of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ - along with
belief in His promise to forgive our sins - constitutes a covenant with God.
Through this covenant, which we gratefully accept and can completely rely on
(Hebrews 6:17-20), God grants us eternal life. By accepting the sacrifice of
Christ for the remission of sin, we enter into a covenant relationship with the
God of the universe. The terms of this covenant are absolute, because it was
sealed with the shed blood of Jesus Christ (Hebrews 9:11-12, 15). This covenant
is renewed every year when we partake of the Passover.
What
are the terms of this covenant relationship? "'This is the covenant that I
will make with them after those days, says the Lord: I will put My laws into
their hearts, and in their minds I will write them,' then He adds, 'Their sins
and lawless deeds I will remember no more'" (Hebrews 10:16-17).
Ancient
Israel did not have the heart to faithfully keep God's commandments (Deuteronomy
5:29). Under the New Covenant, however, God writes His law in our hearts and
minds. His laws are not those of physical purification contained in the system
of sacrifices, washings and service in the tabernacle. Instead, they are the
holy and righteous laws that define right behavior toward God and neighbor
(Romans 7:12) and lead to eternal life (Matthew 19:17). The Passover wine is
symbolic of this covenant relationship that is ratified by the blood of Jesus
Christ.
Annual
observance in the early Church
The
New Testament pictures Christians continuing to observe the annual festivals at
the times commanded by God. As a youth, Christ kept the Passover annually on the
specified day Nisan 14, at the beginning of that day in the evening. (Luke
2:41), and He continued the practice with His disciples. The early Church as
well continued to observe the other Holy Days at their specified times.
Scripture gives no hint of the early Church adding to or changing the dates God
ordained for His festivals. By observing
the Passover each year on the appropriate day, members of the Church were
proclaiming "the Lord's death till He comes."
The
Bible specifies the yearly observance of the Passover, and history records its
annual celebration as the practice of the early Church. Passover, as a memorial
of Jesus' death, is to be observed annually rather than whenever or however
often one chooses, just as all of the other annual festivals are to be kept once
a year at their appointed times. Neither Jesus Christ nor the apostles indicated
that we should change when or how often we observe any of God's festivals.
Celebrating
Passover properly.
This
includes having the Passover meal at the right time, at the beginning of the
evening of Nisan 14, between sunset and midnight to be more specific.
Passover and Feast Day dates for each year can be found at www.cbcg.org
and at www.ucg.org
This
no longer includes killing a lamb or even having lamb as part of the meal, or
painting blood on your doorposts. That part DID go out with the cross.
It does include eating bread that contains no yeast, unleavened bread.
Unleavened bread, although flat and somewhat hard, can still taste good. We are
to have no yeast inside our homes or eat any bread that has risen with yeast for
the next week. Leaven or yeast is symbolic of sin.
It
includes an explanation of the original Passover, how it came about, how Jesus
became our Passover lamb, and what
it’s meaning is concerning our salvation related by the head of household to
the rest of those present. The
reading of this document would satisfy that requirement. It can also include the
reading of selected passages from the Bible, praise worship music songs, and
prayers.
It
includes a foot washing ceremony where you use a small basin of water and a
towel and wash each others bare feet, symbolizing your humility and willingness
to serve others. In John 13:12-14
Jesus tells us we ought to wash each others feet.
It
includes a communion using both
unleavened bread and wine, representing the partaking symbolically of the body
and blood of Jesus. There is non
alcohol wine on the market shelves for those abstaining totally from any
alcohol. I personally don’t believe that Jesus made grade juice at the wedding
of Caanan or drank grape juice at the last supper. Grapes weren’t ripe in the
spring. An excellent discussion on the alcohol topic can be found in the booklet
"Drugs and Drinking; What do the Scriptures Really Teach" found
at http://www.yahweh.com/booklets/onlinebooklets.htm
You will be surprised at the answer , especially coming from one of the
strictest affiliations out there.

Subject 2-2-2014 Bers newsletter update
The big news is of course the imminence of the
dinar/dong revaluation.
Go to www.dinarrecaps.com
and look at the posts.
Listen to Tony's conference call every monday, wednesday , friday at 10am at
www.tntdinar.com This is a for real once in a lifetime
opportunity. If you
are one of the 5 million people holding a note or two, good for you and your
faith. If you
are one of the 300 million who didn't believe in this and didn't come aboard,
you will be sorry
you didn't have more faith. It's that simple. I believe the time for
us useless eater, peon,
low life, common folk is upon us next week. And come election time we will hunt
down the
political pathetics who kept the contract rate from the common folk until it was
all used up
giving us the street rate crumbs left over. We know who you are and we will
clean house.
To the bankers - we now know you can't be trusted and have simply plotted to
steal our
funds for your own growth. Be very wary of signing any NDAs which are simply
designed
to tie up your funds in the banks and steal them via taxes. There is a reason
that only 1/10th
of 1% the spirits of those who die on earth daily make it through the pearly
gates above.
Take some of your dinar money and stock up on
food, water and medical supplies.
Survival /camping supplies, tools, water containers/filters, 25 year freeze
dried food
www.detailshere.thrivelife.com
our company marketing page you can order from. You can order the unadvertised
specials and monthly specials from that page also. But you need to be on my
thriveLife
email list to receive notice of those so you have the product ID's. Simply
send me your full name and
email addy and request to be put on my notice list for the specials.
Water filters - I've done the homework for you. Just read the page and
look at the pictures,
watch the videos and make your decisions. You can have your
tail covered and drink out of
a mud puddle, river, or lake for
as little as $20. Lots of good options. But you need to choose
at least one. How to make your own homemade .2micron water filter for under $30
See the last section of my page at www.detailshere.com/waterfilters.htm
Recipe meals in a jar is the hot setup.
Don't just buy your 25 year food and put it on the shelf
until the disaster comes; use it daily and learn to use it so you are not
fumbling when the time
comes to mandatorily have to use it. Many recipe sections have been added to my ThriveLife
page.
Remember all ThriveLife products have no GMO, are gluten free, were grown with
no pesticides or chemicals , or steroids or other drugs and are constantly
tested for such. ThriveLife can improve your family's health. There's just
potatoes in the can of potatoes, not twenty other chemicals. There's just
milk in the #10 tin or 6 gal pail of instant milk. Nothing else. Store bought
homogenized milk is killing people. Read www.detailshere.com/milkhomogenized.htm
for why. ThriveLife instant milk even
tastes better than store bought milk. Try it. We use it exclusively now.
My favorite recipe is to take a half cup of freeze dried corn and 1/2 cup
of freeze dried peas, put
them in a small amount of water, bring up to temperature and add the freeze
dried potato beads - be
careful, doesn't take many, and stir until you get a good mashed potato
consistency. All the water that
sucked nutrients out of the peas and corn is still utilized in rehydrating the
potato beads. You've
lost nothing nutrient wise. This combination tastes really good. I request it
several times a week.
I have added extensive sections to my page at www.detailshere.com/thrivelife.htm
and have made
many disturbing discoveries . Like canned and frozen veggies at your local
grocery may have lost up to 77% of their nutrient value by the time you finally eat them. http://ucce.ucdavis.edu/files/datastore/234-780.pdf
. Freeze dried veggies retain all of it;
even for the 25 year shelf life. Hard to believe freeze dried in a can is
healthier than fresh or frozen
at the grocery. Grocery produce is picked green and grown for durability and
shipping, not flavor.
It's why tomatoes from the grocery are tasteless. This article applies to more than just tomatoes.

and much much more including solar charging systems and lights.
Get involved with ThriveLife either as just a customer or as a consultant.

If only 2% of the population have any degree of food and water preparation your chances are not

Laminine
LifePharm Global recently introduced their new
product, Laminine Omega+++ and the immediate demand has been amazing. The
formulation that the LPGN scientists created for this product is simply genius
as it addresses the cardiovascular system and improved circulation by removing
plaque from the arteries, improved bone health (yes, this product causes
calcium to be absorbed into the bones—a huge blessings for people with
osteoporosis), reduces inflammation, lowers cholesterol, enhances memory,
balances blood pressure, supports normal blood sugar levels, and much more.
There is a small amount of the Avian Egg Extract
in this formulation, to increase effectiveness, but we recommend that people
take it with the regular Laminine as the combination is a powerful one-two
punch against ANY degenerative condition and is a very effective preventive
product.
I want to draw your readers attention to an
interview obtained with Dr. Jose Toro, MD, on this new product. In addition to
explaining how Omega+++ works in the body, Dr. Toro shares some of the
results he is having with his patients such as Alzheimer's patients
recovering memory, neuropathy patients getting feeling back in their feet
and hands, arthritic patients without pain, and more.

TelexFree
www.detailshere.com/telexfree.htm
How does TelexFree rank with other worldwide
home based businesses available to us?
Visit http://www.businessforhome.org/2013/11/the-top-direct-selling-companies-in-the-world-in-2014-poll/
for the rankings. TelexFree
ranks #1 now out of more than 144 companies ranked.
Some of these mentioned are huge well established been around forever companies
that didn't
get squat for votes. Amway for example with 81 votes to TelexFree's over 5000 votes.
Might be because
since everyone gets paid who places their ad in TelexFree they have a 98%+
retention rate versus
Amway's 80% plus turnover rate each year. Been there done that, I can tell you
the why. TelexFree
has become one of the best opportunities I have ever participated in.
Considering the My Financial Advantage debt elimination package being
offered now as well as the new cellphone service using
all four major carriers
network being put together; this will become probably the most
solid opportunity out there. If you don't make money here, it's only because you
couldn't discipline
yourself to spend three minutes to post your ad every day. Customer support
still sucks but they pay on time everytime.
Telexfree is NOT a revenue sharing program. We get paid
for placing ads to sell a
telecommunications service,
whether those ads sell anything or not. If they do, we get
paid more.
www.detailshere.com/telexfree.htm for
complete concise info on the program
www.telexfree.com/detailshere
to register and buy ad packs.
Go to www.telexmanaged.com
and click on Presentation Slideshow for the best quick
overall explanation of this program I have found.
Basically you buy ad packs and place an ad everyday
for those for a week. If your ad
sells you get $44.91 for it, if it doesn't you still get $20 for it. This
amounts to a 17.2% - 22.1%/mo
net profit , from one to five ads, if you never sold a software package or sponsored anyone.
It doesn't get any easier than this. I joined in late April and
currently have only 36 directs and
over 1300 indirects (people they sponsored) under me now
which makes for very nice weekly
binary paycheck. Several of my directs have come back and
purchased 10 family packs more.
Having ten family packs working for you costs 10 x $1425 =
$14,250 but returns $4000/mo to
you if you never sponsored anyone else or never sold a
software package but just placed your
daily ads. That's not counting referral income. I don't
address that to stay in compliance with
income disclosure rules.
If you bought just one family pack of five ad units today, at $1425, and took all of your
earnings
and bought another $289 ad central pack anytime those earnings were $289 or more - and you
can do this from your back office without having to take a withdrawal
and waste a week. at the
end of 52 weeks, one
year later, you could be earning $2720/week or $10,880/ mo, which is
probably more
money than 90% of us have ever earned working a job or even running our own
business.

Govt
hiding cancer curing ability of cannabis
www.detailshere.com/cannabis.htm
We've seen many articles about the many
positive attributes of marijuana.
We know our own CIA makes billions each year in illegal marijuana trafficking .
We thought it was all about making money on people getting high from smoking.
We've heard tales that marijuana kills cancer
but now the real reason comes out.
Our government holds almost a hundred patents on cannabis as a cancer cure while
they continually kill people having cancer with chemo and radiation therapy
which only
gives a patient a 3% chance to live. It's all about protecting the billions of
dollars a year
the pharmaceutical industry earns in pushing chemo drugs and radiation
death while
they've had the cure all along and have suppressed it to protect their business
interests.
Look at all the patents on my page. Aren't you proud of what our government is

Demonic possession.
Most of you have never had the experience
of seeing the demonic surface and even
communicating
with the demonic. I have. Not by choice
but by necessity. I documented that
experience at
www.detailshere.com/exorcism.htm
I still have the video we taped during one
of the exorcism
sessions. It took three months to
get rid of them because we didn't know
what we were doing to
start with and no one was willing to get
involved for fear of getting possessed
themselves.
The first of the videos found at http://beforeitsnews.com/religion/2013/12/exorcism-demons-cry-out-in-fear-of-judgment-shocki
ng-footage-real-or-fake-2461028.html
reminded me of that experience. The woman
is not faking
it, she is possessed and then freed of
that possession. You need to understand we
live in a spiritual
world we cannot see but do participate in.
Jesus is real. He is with us today. So are satan's demons.
If
Jesus does not live inside of you, by request and belief,
you are fair game for demonic possession,
which can have all kinds of nasty side
effects, such as this woman displays.

Why
prisons?
The US has a higher percentage of its
population behind bars than any other
country in the world:
more than China, more than Russia, more
than any backwater dictatorship.
Roughly 1 out of every 142 US residents
is behind bars.
This gulag system is fantastically
profitable for the companies that build
and manage prisons...for
the companies that supply them...for the
prison guard unions...and for the state
itself which sells
prison labor to private corporations for
pennies on the dollar.
Who are these two million plus people
behind bars in the US?
Are they all monsters the public has to
be protected from or has incarceration
become an addictive business for the
state? If that's the case, how
safe are any of us in the long run?
These are questions a freedom loving
people should be asking itself.
A unique perspective on inmates and
prisons.

Signs The Media Is Lying To You About
How Radiation From Fukushima Is
Affecting The West Coast
http://thetruthwins.com/archives/36-signs-the-media-is-lying-to-you-about-how-ra
diation-from-fukushima-is-affecting-the-west-coast
The west coast of the United States is
being absolutely fried by radiation from
the Fukushima
nuclear disaster, and the mainstream
media is not telling us the truth about
this. What you are
about to see is a collection of evidence
that is quite startling. Taken
collectively, this body of
evidence shows that nuclear radiation
from Fukushima is affecting sea life in
the Pacific Ocean
and animal life along the west coast of
North America in some extraordinary
ways. But the
mainstream media continues to insist
that we don’t have a thing to worry
about. The mainstream
media continues to insist that radiation
levels in the Pacific and along the west
coast are perfectly
safe. Are they lying to us? Yup!
Otherwise why did the Dept of Health
services just buy 14 million

The
true downsides of Obamacare
I recently had to go to a doctor and had
the true wisdom of Obamacare explained
to me.
Essentially it overcharges the people
who earn a reasonable living and give to
to those who don't.
The person earning $60k - $100k/year is
charged a very exhorbitant rate as well
as a very high
deductible, like $5000, while
the person earning under 25k/year pays almost
nothing. True socialism.
This video,
although pitching a way to make money off of Obamacare, lays out
the pitfalls of this
deceptive piece of
legislation. This explanation is as good
as I have seen.

The
Wooden Bowl - I'll probably get one
of those soon.
A frail old man went to live with his
son, daughter-in-law, and four-year-old
grandson.
The old man's hands trembled, his
eyesight was blurred, and his step
faltered.
The family ate together at the table.
But the elderly grandfather's shaky
hands and
failing sight made eating difficult..
Peas rolled off his spoon onto the
floor.
When he grasped the glass, milk spilled
on the tablecloth.
The son and daughter-in-law became
irritated with the mess.
'We must do something about father,'
said the son.
'I've had enough of his spilled milk,
noisy eating, and food on the floor.'
So the husband and wife set a small
table in the corner.
There, Grandfather ate alone while the
rest of the family enjoyed dinner.
Since Grandfather had broken a dish or
two, his food was served in a wooden
bowl.
When the family glanced in Grandfather's
direction, sometimes he had a tear in
his eye as he sat alone.
Still, the only words the couple had for
him were sharp admonitions when he
dropped a fork or spilled food.
The four-year-old watched it all in
silence.
One evening before supper, the father
noticed his son playing with wood scraps
on the floor.
He asked the child sweetly, 'What are
you making?' Just as sweetly, the boy
responded,
'Oh, I am making a little bowl for you
and Mama to eat your food in when I grow
up. ' The
four-year-old smiled and went back to
work.
The words so struck the parents so that
they were speechless. Then tears started
to stream down their cheeks.. Though no
word was spoken, both knew what must be
done.
That evening the husband took
Grandfather's hand and gently led him
back to the family table.
For the remainder of his days he ate
every meal with the family. And for some
reason,
neither husband nor wife seemed to care
any longer when a fork was dropped, milk
spilled, or the tablecloth soiled.
On a positive note, I've learned that,
no matter what happens, how bad it seems
today, life does go on, and it will be
better tomorrow.
I've learned that you can tell a lot
about a person by the way he/she handles
four things:
a rainy day, the elderly, lost luggage,
and tangled Christmas tree lights.
I've learned that making a 'living' is
not the same thing as making a 'life.'
I've learned that life sometimes gives
you a second chance.
I've learned that you shouldn't go
through life with a catcher's mitt on
both hands. You need to be able to throw
something back sometimes.
I've learned that if you pursue
happiness, it will elude you.
But, if you focus on your family, your
friends, the needs of others, your work
and doing the very best you can,
happiness will find you.
I've learned that whenever I decide
something with an open heart, I usually
make the right decision.
I've learned that even when I have
pains, I don't have to be one.
I've learned that every day, you should
reach out and touch someone.
People love that human touch -- holding
hands, a warm hug, or just a friendly
pat on the back.
I've learned that I still have a lot to
learn.
God Bless
