Feast Of Tabernacles, in the light of new covenant

[InSpiritInTruth]

The sermon was alright, showed how Jesus made atonement for our sins with His death.

One interesting point was how the number decreased from day one to day seven. For example 13 bulls day one,12 day 2, 11 day 3, 10 day 4, 9 day 5, 8 day 6, 7 day 7.

It's like a countdown isn't? Ever add the number of bullocks up for the 7 days? 13+12+11+10+9+8+7= 70 Like 70 x 7 days= 490 Where have we seen 70 times 7 used before in scripture, maybe in Daniel? LOL I see a lot of repeating patterns in the scriptures, and even in the numbers which are hard to understand. But to me, when you can show the patterns in the numbers at the least it just proves the handiwork of the Master Carpenter is at work behind them.

Matthew 18:22
Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.

I couldn't agree more. God Almighty is truly marvelous.

October 1[SUP]st[/SUP] 2015
Third day of the week is the 18[SUP]th[/SUP] being the fourth day of the feast.

On the 3[SUP]rd[/SUP] day of creation, one mass of earth comes above the surface of the water *making it fit for the plants, and seeds to grow that were previously created. Water is now available for the plants, animals and humans to survive even though humans and animals had not been created until the 6[SUP]th[/SUP] day. It is clear that in all things, God makes arrangements for all things to live before they come into being. This is exactly what the plan of salvation is. The arrangements were made before it actually happened. God's gracious omniscience revealed!! Genesis 1:9-13

*We can compare this to the parable of the sower and the seed in Matthew 13:19-23 depicting the heart as the ground, and the seed as the Word of God. “When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side. But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it; Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended. He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful. But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.”

Jesus conversed with a Samaritan woman at a well in John 4:7 and 10b, and He says to her, “give me to drink” clarifying that He is the living water. “Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink. If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.”

4[SUP]th[/SUP] day=18[SUP]th[/SUP] of the month: Numbers 29:23
“And on the fourth day ten bullocks, two rams, and fourteen lambs of the first year without blemish:

The 18[SUP]th[/SUP] day of the 1[SUP]st[/SUP] month is when Christ rose from the dead, being the mediator of the New Testament. This was the same day, close to 35 generations previous, that Israel crossed the Red Sea. This day gives the picture of Israel’s escape from its 430 year of being influenced by world values while living in the Egyptian Empire. In parallel, we include ourselves in this scenario as escaping the slavery to sin, and escaping from the world’s values through Christ.

The number 4(the day of the feast as it progresses) represents creation, the world, and creative works.
The 4[SUP]th[/SUP]letter means to move to the door, and enter in. God created a way for us to be acceptable in His sight through Jesus Christ. He gave us the gift of the faith so we could believe that blood sacrifice was the door of acceptance.

The number 10(quantity of bullocks) represents testimony, the law, and our responsibilities” as defined in the instructions given by God to Israel, and for us to strive to see their Spiritual significance.
The 10[SUP]th[/SUP] letter means to worship the giver, and work according to His will. We worship Him by acknowledging that every word he has ever spoken has relevance for us unto this present day.

The number 18(day of the month) represents bondage.
The 18[SUP]th[/SUP] letter represents a trail to follow, as a journey, to chase, and to hunt. We are born into bondage, but through Christ, we have been given a road to follow, leaving it up to each individual whether or not they want to walk this road to freedom.

Jesus says in Matthew 7:13-14; “Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.”

A “Strait” gate means that “obstacles” are in the way while on this earth, and it is necessary for us to confront them for the purpose of increasing our faith. We cannot do that ourselves because we don't create the obstacles. God does, likened unto the testing of Job, but I hope it doesn't go that far with us.
Obstacles, trials, and testings stand in front of the door God has provided, and only Jesus can open. Obstacles are those things that cause “tough straits.”

“Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. James 1:3-5

 

[Ariel82]

We begin, and we will see how far this goes.

"Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, The fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be the feast of tabernacles for seven days unto the Lord." Leviticus 23:34

1[SUP]st[/SUP] day=15[SUP]th[/SUP] of the month Numbers 29:12-16 (KJV)
[SUP]12 [/SUP]And on the fifteenth day of the seventh month ye shall have an holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work, and ye shall keep a feast unto the LORD seven days:
[SUP]13 [/SUP]And ye shall offer a burnt offering, a sacrifice made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD; thirteen young bullocks, two rams, and fourteen lambs of the first year; they shall be without blemish:
[SUP]14 [/SUP]And their meat offering shall be of flour mingled with oil, three tenth deals unto every bullock of the thirteen bullocks, two tenth deals to each ram of the two rams,
[SUP]15 [/SUP]And a several tenth deal to each lamb of the fourteen lambs:
[SUP]16 [/SUP]And one kid of the goats for a sin offering; beside the continual burnt offering, his meat offering, and his drink offering.

Before going into what is the big “deal” I quote Numbers 29:1-4. “And in the seventh month, on the first day of the month, ye shall have an holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work: it is a day of blowing the trumpets unto you. And ye shall offer a burnt offering for a sweet savour unto the LORD; one young bullock, one ram, and seven lambs of the first year without blemish: And their meat offering shall be of flour mingled with oil, three tenth deals for a bullock, and two tenth deals for a ram, And one tenth deal for one lamb, throughout the seven lambs:”

The quantities of flour mixed with oil are “deals?” What a deal, or what is a deal? So I compared scripture with scripture, and came to some conclusions. Through prayer and meditation, I am getting closer to the truth. I’m sure there is much more than we will ever understand as long as we live in this mortal body.

Paul said in 1 Corinthians 13:12; “For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.” (Got that right!)

I thought that the men who translated the Bible into English during the reign of King James might have thought that the quantities of flour were no big “deal.” It actually made me a little disgusted. I found another scripture referenced in Leviticus 6:20-21 that helped, and found that the “deal” really was a bigger “deal” than what I first estimated. It reads as follows;

“This is the offering of Aaron and of his sons, which they shall offer unto the LORD in the day when he is anointed; *the tenth part of an “ephah” of fine flour for a meat offering perpetual, half of it in the morning, and half thereof at night. In a pan it shall be made with oil; and when it is baken, thou shalt bring it in: and the baken pieces of the meat offering shalt thou offer for a sweet savour unto the LORD.”

By understanding that ten percent of an “ephah” is not the full “deal,” the answer is found in Exodus 16:36 where it says “*Now an “omer” is the *tenth part of an “ephah.”
So we know that a "deal" is an omer. It gets very interesting. As defined here next, you will see that this word, "omer" is a Hebrew word is attributed to God's word, being "omer."

"The Lord gave the word: (Omer) great was the company of those that published it." Psalm 68:11

562 'omer o'-mer the same as 561:--promise, speech, thing, word.

Is this not really cool so far?

So if deal or Omar can mean God word, then that can show how Jesus revealed throughout that week His redemption plan?

What does the bullocks ram and lambs represent?

I have described that earlier in this thread. The bullock represents the name of God in Christ Jesus. the rams represent the patriarchs, and the the lambs represent Israel i.e. the true church of the NT. This explanation is very general. To get a better view of it all, please go back to about a week ago where I give a more explanatory explanations. (smile)

There are manifold things going on all at once in this feast.

Thank you for sharing, by the way. I had one more thought to share concerning the bullock rams and lambs. Jesus Christ fits into all three categories unlike any other could ever hope to do. That's what makes our Savior so great. His is a patriarch, the Son of God, a prophet, the Son of man, the lamb of God, and even more that I haven't mentioned or that I haven't comprehend, at this point. God bless you sis in your pursuance of truth. I am blessed if I can be of any benefit.

October 2[SUP]nd[/SUP] 2015
Fourth day of the week is the 19[SUP]th[/SUP] being the 5th day of the feast.

The sun is created to rule the day, and the moon and stars are created to rule the night so that there is greater, and lesser light to keep mankind from total darkness. It is interesting that the earth circles the sun once a year, the moon circles the earth about 12 times (close to 13 times) a year with exceptions of seasons and times, yet is constant according to the original creation cycle. The greater light is stationary, and the lesser light reflects God’s governmental perfection. All things created were now in place to sustain the living creatures that were to fill the earth.

Faith can be increased according to the experiences in this circle of time God provides. As we live, remembering His faithfulness in our past, we become more confident of the provisions He will provide for our future. This is rightly defined in 2 Corinthians 10:15a as we read “Not boasting of things without our measure, that is, of other men's labours; but having hope, when your faith is increased.” Jesus is the greater light, and we are Son worshippers not sun worshippers as in some pagan religions.

Ezekiel 8:16 defines the pagan practice of sun worship.“And he brought me into the inner court of the LORD'S house, and, behold, at the door of the temple of the LORD, between the porch and the altar, were about five and twenty men, with their backs toward the temple of the LORD, and their faces toward the east; and they worshipped the sun toward the east.”

His words tell us of the proper Son to worship in John 8:12 when He says, “I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.”

The world was made to revolve around Christ Jesus, as the greater light, just like the earth revolves around the sun. As followers of the Son we are to reflect the greater light of truth in like manner as the moon, being the lesser light that reflects the greater light of the sun. These are the physical aspects of creation that are useful to us as a parable for spiritual perception.

And Jesus said in John 3:12; “If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?”

Jesus’ words in Matthew 5:14-16 describes this reflection of light very well. “Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.”

5[SUP]th[/SUP] day=19[SUP]th[/SUP] of the month: Numbers 29:26 (KJV)
“And on the fifth day nine bullocks, two rams, and fourteen lambs of the first year without spot:

According to the number of bullocks, it’s amazing that Paul lists 9 characteristics of the fruit of the Spirit in Galatians 5:22-23. “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.”

The number 5 (the day of the feast as it progresses) represents grace, God’s goodness, and Torah instructions.
The 5[SUP]th[/SUP]letter means reaching out to obtain revelations, and instruction from God.

The number 9 (quantity of bullocks) represents the “fruit of the Spirit,” and the divine completeness from the Father.
The 9[SUP]th[/SUP] letter means to hold and carry what has been given. The “fruit of the Spirit” is singular, and we hold it, carry it, and walk with it every day.

The number 19 (day of the month) represents faith.
The 19[SUP]th[/SUP] letter means the time sequence given for us to believe the truth. This is our day, and our time “For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.” 2 Corinthians 6:2

Faith is a gift of the Spirit. It is increased as we travel in the experiences given to test us.

2 Corinthians 10:15 tells us not to boast “of things without our measure, that is, of other men's labours; but having hope, when your faith is increased, that we shall be enlarged by you according to our rule abundantly.”

Scripture says that God tests us in Deuteronomy 13:1-3 “If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder, And the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known, and let us serve them; Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul.”

God given experiences not only give us better understanding of our Lord, and ourselves, they increase our faith in God when looking at those situations in retrospect.

In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Proverbs 3:6

5th day of the week is the 20[SUP]th[/SUP] being the 6th day of the feast.

On the 5[SUP]th[/SUP] day of creation the sea creatures, and birds are created, creating a perfect ecological system of balance. Adding to, or subtracting from God’s perfect original creation is sin, and we should understand that it continues its perfect balance by the Word of its Creator, and not the EPA. Fish will keep the water clean, and birds will eat insects, and on it goes to the deepest scientific research man has ever known, and more.

Further, the proper balance of all things involves loving God with all our heart, mind, and soul, and loving our neighbor as ourselves. The instructions contained in this covenant begin with Exodus 19:8 when all Israel says they will do all of what the Lord will instruct.

Beginning with Exodus 20, and reading through Exodus 23 is the beginning of the ordinances of this balance of love toward God and mankind. This was necessary because Israel had learned imbalance/transgression for hundreds of years while in Egypt.

The evils of Satan needed to be reckoned with as Paul writes in Galatians 3:19. “Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.”

The mercy of God becomes quite clear in this scripture. As was then, the same principles apply today as God provides a wall of protection for us by offering a new life through Christ.

We are bought with a price, and transformed by a daily renewing of the mind. Paul says it best in Romans 12:2. “be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.”

6[SUP]th[/SUP] day=20[SUP]th[/SUP] of the month: Numbers 29:29 (KJV)
“And on the sixth day eight bullocks, two rams, and fourteen lambs of the first year without blemish:”

With diligence we should be add to our “faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins. Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall.” (2 Peter 1:5b-10)

1= faith
2= virtue
3= knowledge
4= temperance
5= patience
6= godliness
7= brotherly kindness
8= charity

The eighth day after a male child was born, he was to be circumcised. Spiritually speaking, circumcision of the heart is required according to the New Covenant.

The righteous law of God commands this in Deuteronomy 10:16. “Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiffnecked.”

In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ: Colossians 2:11

But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God. Romans 2:29

The 8th day is also recognized as the first day of the week. I would invite you to ask about this day, for it can be proven in the last part of John chapter 2 that the day that Jesus had a conversation with Nicodemus about being born again in John 3:1-21 was the 1[SUP]st[/SUP] day of the week, when Jesusdescribes this new birth to Nicodemus . During this conversation, in verse 10, Jesus questions Nicodemus saying; “Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things?”

The number 6 (the day of the feast as it progresses) represents the weakness of man, the manifestation of sin, and the evils of Satan.
The 6[SUP]th [/SUP]letter means to hook, and add securely. Through the Word of God we recognize our true state, the revelation of sin, and receive better understanding of how our adversary’s subtle deceptions can be detected. We run to the security promised through Christ Jesus, to prevent ourselves from being hooked by deception.

The number 8 (quantity of bullocks) represents a new birth, and new beginnings.
The 8[SUP]th[/SUP] letter means a separation between right and wrong influences. God promises us a new life of everlasting security when we sincerely desire to stay in His presence.

The number 20 (day of the month) represents redemption.
The 20[SUP]th[/SUP] letter represents a conscious commitment of the mind because of the new birth. We are committed to Christ because we are bought with the price of His life. “We love him, because he first loved us.” (1 John 4:19)

October 4[SUP]th[/SUP] 2015
Sixth day of the week is the 21[SUP]st[/SUP] day of the month that is the seventh day of the feast.

On this day of creation (the 6[SUP]th[/SUP]) we see all things in place that gives a healthy sustainable life for animals and humans. One may ask why earth bound mammals, and humans were made together on the same day. It is because we are to comprehend similarities as no different from one another in respect to clean and unclean, and what was and wasn't acceptable in the sight of God, animals being a foreshadowing of the human condition whether clean or unclean in the sight of God.

Genesis1:24-25
“And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so. And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.”

Humans, however, are very unique because we have been made in “Their” image stated in Genesis 1:26 unlike the earthly mammals that walk the face of the earth as we do. “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.”

Nevertheless, there is good reason for these similarities. During the Old Covenant temple worship, clean animals represent the foreshadowing of God given attributes to His children, acceptable unto God through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, His “first born.” “For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.” Romans 8:29

This has everything to do with the unblemished clean animals that were sacrificed within man made temple walls describing the “Old Temple” according to the directives of God. The priest of the “Old Temple” made a sacrifice for himself, being human as we are, so he would be acceptable in the sight of God, thus enabling him to perform his duties. Unlike the physical temple worship, Jesus Christ needed no purification process in that He was already unblemished and pure in God’s sight, yet He still sacrificed of Himself in our stead.

Today, we are the true temple of the “New Testament” yet with spiritual similarities pertaining to the old that was man made. To see this parallel I quote Hebrews 8:1-3. “Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens; A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man. For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is of necessity that this man have somewhat also to offer.”

This is all fine, and good, but where do we fit in with this Old and New Covenant that now are completed through Christ Jesus? In the old temple, men and women also brought animal sacrifices for their sins, plus offerings to sustain the priesthood. Now in the new temple we present ourselves as a sacrifice. In 1 Corinthians 3:16-17 and Romans 12:1 we bring this together in context. “Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are. I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.”

So in similarity we see why birds, animals and humans were all made from the same substance. Keeping this man made temple of the old in mind, I quote Hebrews 8:6-7 and 13 taking out the italicized words for a better understanding, and define the truth by adding parenthesized descriptions.

“But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better which was established upon better promises. For if that first had been faultless, (man made according to God's foreknowledge) then should no place have been sought for the second. In that he saith, A new, he hath made the first (animal sacrifice, and physical temple worship) old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old (the man made temple) is ready to vanish away.” [End quote]

If God’s word in the “Old Covenant” were “ready to vanish away” then Jesus would never have quoted God's words that are found in the “Old Covent” to Satan, stating the fact that man shall live by “every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.”

The old was made by humans, and the new is made by the Son of God. “Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days? But he spake of the temple of his body.” John 2:19-21
“For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.” Hebrews 7:12

7[SUP]th[/SUP] day = 21[SUP]st[/SUP] day of the month: completing the 7 days of the feast with 7 bullocks, and 21 omers of flour, 3 omers for each bullock.

Numbers 29:32 (KJV)
"And on the seventh day seven bullocks, two rams, and fourteen lambs of the first year without blemish:

As we know, the number 7 in scripture is divine, representing the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit within One. (Elohim is this plural definition of One). Through His divine Word, the sin that causes division between God and man is exposed. This division is called “enmity.” Salvation comes from the Father’s perfection, the Son’s resurrection, and the Spiritual completeness of this fulfillment in Christ Jesus.

A total of seventy bullocks were sacrificed in these seven days representing “punishment and restoration of Israel,” and the restoration is prophesied as events that will happen during the millennial reign of Christ. These events will be world wide, depicting past, present, and future, (also 3 in 1) in universality.

Ezekiel 37:16-17 “Moreover, thou son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel his companions: And join them one to another into one stick; and they shall become one in thine hand.” This will finalize the complete plan of purification that was conceived before the heavens, and the earth were in existence.

The number 7 represents resurrection, spiritual completeness, and the Fathers perfection.

7 bullocks offered one the 7[SUP]th[/SUP] day of the feast is is the culmination of the final day of creation when man is ushered into the divine plan of God Almighty.

This predestined, predesigned plan of the Father and the Son is more amazing to me than words can explain!

The 7[SUP]th[/SUP]letter means food produced and harvested for nourishment. The fulfillment of everything prior to the resurrection of Christ, by Christ, makes all of this possible to be sustained, and for us to grow in this new life with Him.

The number 21 means exceeding sinfulness of sin, in relation to the flesh being baptized with fire, i.e. distroyed.

John the baptist said; “I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance. but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:” Matthew 3:11

The 21[SUP]st[/SUP] letter depicts as picture of sharp pressing force to separate in relation to the burning or the eating up of sin (as this is the image of fire and/or two front teeth) through sacrifice that divides/separates the sin from the sinner.

1 Corinthians 15:54 “So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.”

Isaiah 25:8
“He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord God will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the Lord hath spoken it.”

FULFILLED!!

 

[KohenMatt]

We had a great day yesterday at our Yom Kippur service. My 9 year old chose to fast too, although I think he ate to much when we broke the fast and he went to bed feeling sick.

We also had a wedding rehearsal afterwards for my sister-in-law. Very cool to end the day with a preparation for their wedding, and 4 days before we celebrate Sukkot, a celebration of the honeymoon with our groom!

There are two letters of the Hebrew alphabet that are exempt from this sequence of events in the 7 days of bullock offerings during Tabernacles. These letters are the fourteenth letter “nun” meaning the *seed that continues, and the twenty-second letter “tav” meaning the monument of cross-sticks. This is certainly the monumental signet of the cross on Calvary. The blood that was smeared on the door posts of each house in Exodus 12:7 resembles the way this 22[SUP]nd[/SUP] letter is written in Hebrew.
22nd letter (ת) tav = crossed sticks............ a Mark, a Sign, a Signal, a Monument

And 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.

14th letter (נ) Nun......... a Seed to continue, as the Heir, a Son

The reason these two letters were not included with this sequence of events, was for Israel to contemplate that there was something that needed to happen in the future to complete God’s divine plan. This final piece to this puzzle would eventually be the cohesive bond that would complete/fulfill all things, and He would be the very core from which all things emanate. This vacancy is then clearly seen as the focal point in which only our Lord Jesus Christ is able to occupy in righteousness. Consideration must be taken that Jesus Christ is the heir, and the firstborn seed of God’s kingdom, and He is the *seed that died, and rose from the dead. Like any seed that is planted in the ground, it must die before new life sprouts and takes root.

Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. John 12:24

Colossians 1:18 puts it this way. “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.”

This sacrifice enables the Kingdom of God to continue, as the fulfillment of our heavenly Father’s covenant of promise. By remembering that the night of the 15[SUP]th[/SUP] of the first month is Passover, we now know why God commands us to observe these things with our spiritual minds eye, instituted by His commandment, inviting us to reciprocate His love with responsibility.
