What is the passover ? ...the first passover
exodus 12 " Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for an house: 4And if the household be too little for the lamb, let him and his neighbour next unto his house take it according to the number of the souls; every man according to his eating shall make your count for the lamb. 5Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year: ye shall take it out from the sheep, or from the goats:
6And ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month: and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening. 7And they shall take of the blood, and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses, wherein they shall eat it.
8And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and unleavened bread; and with bitter herbs they shall eat it. ...v 11And thus shall ye eat it; with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and ye shall eat it in haste: it is the LORD'S passover.
12For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the LORD. 13And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt."
(instructions for feast of unleavened bread)
".....v 21 Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said unto them, Draw out and take you a lamb according to your families, and kill the passover. ....v23For the LORD will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side posts, the LORD will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite you. 24And ye shall observe this thing for an ordinance to thee and to thy sons for ever. 25And it shall come to pass, when ye be come to the land which the LORD will give you, according as he hath promised, that ye shall keep this service.
26And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say unto you, What mean ye by this service? 27That ye shall say, It is the sacrifice of the LORD'S passover, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he smote the Egyptians, and delivered our houses. And the people bowed the head and worshipped."
"And it came to pass, that at midnight the LORD smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto the firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon; and all the firstborn of cattle. 30And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and all his servants, and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt; for there was not a house where there was not one dead.
31And he called for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, Rise up, and get you forth from among my people, both ye and the children of Israel; and go, serve the LORD, as ye have said. 32Also take your flocks and your herds, as ye have said, and be gone; and bless me also."
so the passover is instituted as a lasting ordinance for the Israelites to be done in remembrance of this deliverance when God passed over them because of Lambs Blood when He sent the destroyer into the land of egypt delivering them.
when You then Look at Jesus you see the passover in its true scale. God sends the blood of the Lamb, to cover us from Death, and By this deliver us and Lead us from slavery to sin and captivity to death, and teach us the ways in the desert, so we Know How to Live in the promised Land awaiting us. all of the true things finally revealed in Christ.
Jesus , fulfills the prophetic aspect of the passover, what some refer to as patterns or shadows" they are things said, and things done, in ancient times, that are prophetic looking back from Christ, until He came, they would not have made sense. the passover makes sense of the shedding of Jesus blood, the passing over of death because of His blood. then when the law comes Later at horeb , the sacrificial system for forgiveness of sin, completes the pattern for Jesus blood. those things were foretelling of Jesus sacrifice and tells us How those things apply to us.
for instance " what does the blood Mean for us"....we look to what it meant to them, protection from Death according to passover, and forgiveness of sin according to law. two things that are Linked as One. sin = death, so sin must be forgiven in order for death to passover a person, this happens by the blood or rather the sacrifice of Jesus. the Bloods power is in His willing sacrifice, His Life is in His Blood. he shed His Life for us.
so then in the Gospel John says " Look the Lamb of God who taketh away the sin of the world" this means if the sin is taken, the death will passover by the blood. and come passover the congregation of Israel gathers to plot and Kill jesus the passover Lamb as moses commanded them. Jesus has the passover with His disciples, and institutes the Lords supper, what we observe as communion Now in the church in remembrance of Jesus sacrifice that delivered us from sin and death.
Like the passover Lamb, Jesus tells us to eat His flesh, to feed on Him. and He tells them " this is my body that is Given for you and breaks the bread......then He says of the drink in the cup, " this is my blood of the new covenant and teaches them to drink and eat in this manner at the passover, in remembrance of Him."
then of course the congregation both Jesus and Gentile gather and slaughter the Lamb and shed His blood, and His blood becomes the very thing that causes death to passover sinners who will believe the very One they slaughter forgives them by the blood they shed. Just Like the Old time, they believed what God said of the Blood, so they did what He said to do, and they were saved and delivered while thier captors fell in One night by Gods Word. Jesus is the fulfillment of the former things they havent disappeared but Now we see them in truth in Christ. do you believe what God has said about the Blood of the Lamb ?
Jesus is the fulfillment of the passover, He is the truth of it, the former is Like seeing Gods word through a dark Veil you see silhoettes and shapes, some colors and a pattern , but when Jesus came in the gospel, you then see the truth of what the passover really was speaking forward about even to the Israelites then, Jesus was Hidden yet, until the apponted time, But He was Preached in the dark even then being Hidden.
when they sacrificed an animal and shed its blood as an offering, it was based on what God would reveal Later they were forgiven even then through the blood of Jesus Only having a rough draft of truth, because of thier hardened Hearts and blinded eyes and deafened ears. when they killed the lamb at passover, it was already based on the power in Jesus blood to cause death to pass us over...... Because we Know He was sacrificed from the foundation of the World.
God bless you, Look at scripture through the Words of Jesus Christ
