Passover/Unleavened Countdown . . .For Those Who Celebrate Them

[Karraster]

A mixed multitude came out from Egypt, not Jews only. Gentiles were/are invited to be grafted in. And we are talking about the appointments of the LORD. A shadow of good things to come. Good things to come, they are still ahead. Feasts=appointments.
The more you understand God's time/calender the more you understand...period!

 

[just-me]

the jewish people were led by moses and aaron, clearly you mix you history time charts, again moses story and the story of jesus are mixed spiritual. however they still speak of a time in history.

And for good reason. It is because of these verse. when reading it as the truth one must conclude that Messiah gave the Passover law to Moses. Separating God from Messiah doesn't work.

Colossians 1:12-20 (KJV)
[SUP]12 [/SUP]Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:
[SUP]13 [/SUP]Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:
[SUP]14 [/SUP]In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:
[SUP]15 [/SUP]Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
[SUP]16 [/SUP]For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
[SUP]17 [/SUP]And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
[SUP]18 [/SUP]And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.
[SUP]19 [/SUP]For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell;
[SUP]20 [/SUP]And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.

Jesus' attributes are not different than God's attributes.

Exodus 12:13-14 (KJV)
[SUP]13 [/SUP]And 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.
[SUP]14 [/SUP]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.

It had to be an ordinance forever in order for people to be convinced the Jesus was the true sacrificial Messiah according to prophecy. Without it there would be no proof to confirm the truth in Christ. Psalms 22 is also good to understand this truth, along with all scripture.

Hebrews 9:22 (KJV)
[SUP]22 [/SUP]And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.

 

[Grandpa]

and there is a differce, by sending an angel of death, or jesus to die for our sins. history is marked for a reason, Passover restriction were spoken to a jewish people. and to them Passover is a big thing. however Christ came some years later.
47 for the lord said to moses and aaron these are the restriction for the Passover.
the word never stopped speaking after creation. but spoke many time to a jewish people, summed up with history of the jewish people. this Passover celebrates the angel of death, passing over a jewish people. for the lord himself, said there is a restriction to this Passover.

The Passover was the shadow of what the Light would do. Why did the Angel of Death passover the children of Israel? Because of their faith in the blood of the lamb. The schoolmaster at work...

Why are we, as Christians, given Eternal Life? Because of our Faith in the Blood Of The Lamb. The Lord Jesus Christ.

Am I saying you must celebrate Passover on April whatever day it is? No. I celebrate the Salvation that the Lord has given me all the time. But if you were to celebrate a Passover in memory of what the Lord Jesus Christ has already fulfilled, I would not condemn you...

Hallelujah, Thank You Jesus. Right?

acts 15 the council of Jerusalem, were all in agreement that a jew or jewish christain should follow the full law.
however they were debating, what to do with a gentile believer. so regarding law, gave the recommendations in a letter and sent the letter out. so even by there judgment they saw a jew or jewish christain should be cercumsised and follow the full law. even with there judgement they saw that a gentile has a different relationship to the law of moses. so may be there is the answer to why there is a restriction give for a Passover celebration.

The Luke account of the Lord's Supper's institution (chapter 22) shows that the passover was superseded by the Lord's Supper, which is intended to look back to the Cross rather than forward to it.

 

[MarkMulder]

For those of you who are blessed by celebrating Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread, Passover starts the night of Monday, April 14th (depending on the calendar you use).

It might not be a bad time to start looking through the house to see what you need to get rid of.

More importantly, it's a great time to start looking through your life to see what you need to get rid of.
And maybe more importantly, its a great time to start looking for ways to add the "unleavened bread" of Messiah into your life.

Looking forward to another awesome season of God's special days!
Matt

Looking for Easter eggs is much more fun...

strange, you will find you need to be jewish, to take part with a jewish family, at the Passover celebration. so I can only guess, you need to be jewish, to celebrate Passover. (ie snip snip).

There is an interesting study on CC about Elijah, a Jew. He was not to eat with a gentile, according to the synagogue, or to eat any unclean foods. Yet when he was hiding from Jezebel so she wouldn't kill him, He was fed by an unclean bird. Then he went to a gentile widow who fed him and lived in Phoenicia a gentile nation, then Elijah resurrected a gentile boy. This is just one time scripture tells us of God being a God of the gentiles who used the Jews to explain Himself to us. And you say God is only for the Jews? I don't think so.

Another wonderful man made reason not to listen to God, men have so much intellectual powers that they can make the word say anything their reason makes it say.

The first four feast prophecy what has already happened, God says to do these in remembrance or me. The last three are prophecies yet to come.

Eggs and bunnies are symbols for fertility, in honor of the pagan God of fertility. Passover was always for Christ, Easter is a Christianized pagan celebration in honor of fertility. It is like the cult of the Golden Calf. The golden calf was used to be for God, but it was from idol worship. God didn't like it. If God didn't like the golden calves, God isn't going to accept your eggs and bunnies instead of celebrating giving His blood for you.

I know... I only made a joke to make a point.

What makes someone a christian clearly aren't pagan or jewish rituals.

 

[Karraster]

Neither pagans or Jews gave the Feasts, they are the Lord's, He gave them to us. No joke.

I wasn't talking about "the Feasts" now, was I?

 

[Karraster]

Frankly, I don't know what you are talking about, however it is a thread about Passover and Feast of Unleavened Bread. I will say I am astonished at anyone who demonstrates no regard or fear of the Lord. I assure you it will not always be so. Again, no joke.

What makes someone a christian clearly aren't pagan or jewish rituals.

We get most of our information about Jewish rituals from the epistles, and it is hard to understand. It is simple to see that when men went to explain Christ to the gentiles, they had to say no to teaching the gentiles first all of the rituals God used to train them in their ways.

Scripture had spoken against ways rituals were used long before it was brought before the council in Jerusalem. In Isaiah scripture says " Isa_1:11 "What are all your sacrifices to Me?" asks the LORD. "I have had enough of burnt offerings and rams and the fat of well-fed cattle; I have no desire for the blood of bulls, lambs, or male goats.

This was because they were copying the way the idol worshippers did, they were feeding the idols blood to bribe them into giving them good things. God used blood for atonement, a shadow of Christ.

Rituals always meant nothing to God, but we, being human, have actions that represent the spiritual. The spiritual of blood sacrifice still stood, how they did the ritual was hated by God. It is the same with the food laws. The ritual of not eating unclean food stood for the spiritual truth of feeding our mind only clean things. The spiritual of the pure food laws still stands.

As I read scripture, the feasts are different. They outline and prophecy about God's plan for us. Blood on the doorposts is ritual language for what Christ's blood does for us. We are told "do this in remembrance of me". We take communion as a ritual for this. I think it includes Passover. When scripture tells us of the feasts it tells us to do this forever. Four are in remembrance, three are looking forward to what is to come.

Surely you know that what scripture says is scripture! Jews only simply isn't part of that scripture. The OT rejects gentiles who reject Him and will never change, but verse after verse includes gentiles (foreigners among us) as part of His plan and are under His wing.

 

[royalscot]

the fact of the matter, at the council of Jerusalem, the men there are responsible for most of the new testament books. being wrote.
yet, I also made a bad joke. if this offended anyone I am sorry.

Just to let u know, people could find fault with everything. Then why drink or even eat food, if it has antibiotics. To the pure everything is pure to their heart, and mind, this is like being a innocent child that Christ talked about, " if u don't become as little children u in no wise will enter the kindgom of God." I don't know any child having a few of my own, that found fault in anything. Even if you give them a piece of toast with nothing on it, they will thank you. Enjoy life people, you will grow old very very fast picking, picking,

I was talking about RITUALS, not FEASTS, like:
do I really NEED to go look for stale pieces of bread all around the house to be a christian?
I don't think so.

What gives you the right to suggest I'm NOT a christian btw?
No offence, but if wisdom comes from fearing the Lord,
I'm probably smarter than you, bro.

Having the Holy Spirit within us, he is the teacher, and God is not an authoriative dictator person, he is a God who is called Love, he's never going to say you sinned by eating a easter cake or buying an easter basket. Get real people. If you go to the Toy Shop like Toys r us, and buy your children all kinds of Toys, are you looking at them as things that are evil, or to be a blessing, this goes down the wronge way every Christmas, Valentines Day, and Easter, Passover and all the Holidays, buying some things for a day of fun, or coloring books with Easter things and telling your children it's pagan, There's no love in what it is saying. Your then becoming worse than the Jews with all the Rules and Laws, don't eat meat with milk, etc. Jesus came to give us life, not bondage and fears, "there is no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, if you really know him, you will feel loved and free, not fearfull of eating a piece of chocolate with a bunny shape this is paranoia. EVery Holiday. I think I will take a month vacation from this it's getting to sound like a a prison, and your the guards, lol.
