PESACH/PASSOVER HIGHLIGHTS

When Yehovah brought out Yisra’el out of Mitsrayim/Egypt, He began the Calendar.

Yehovah spoke to Mosheh.

Now Yehovah (the LORD) spoke to Mosheh and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying,

“This month shall be your beginning of months; it shall be the first month of the year to you.”Shemot/Exodus 12:2

Yehovah never gave another calendar, but this one.

When the year began.

We know it was when the barley was in specific time of ripening. The barley is used to offer the first fruits on the 17^th day of the first month. Although it has been changed by the rabbis to the 16^th day.

“Now the flax and the barley were struck, for the barley was in the head and the flax was in bud.”Shemot 9:31

We know the month starts when the first sliver of the moon is visible.

So in order to be in the correct month, when the first sliver of the moon appears, we need to have the barley ready to be harvested for the Feast of First Fruits on the 17^th.

The lamb was chosen the 10^th day, Shemot 12:3, and kept in the house. Separated from the rest.

It had to be perfect. Shemot 12:5

(Yehoshua had to be sinless, 2 Cor.5:21)

Pilate said, “I find no fault in Him.” Yochanan 19:4, 6

He was innocent.

Keep it until the 14^th day of the month. Shemot 12:6

It had to be killed at twilight . Shemot 12:6

(3PM Yehoshua died on the cross for our sins.)

Apply the blood on the door posts and lintel forming the letter chet. Yehoshua’s blood was applied to the cross and even the ground to redeem us from our sin.

Now we apply His Blood on our lives, for without blood there is no remission.

And whatever man of the house of Yisra’el, or of the strangers who dwell among you, who eats any blood, I will set My face against that person who eats blood, and I will cut Him off from among his people. For the life of flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood that makes atonement for the soul.

13 Whatever man of the children of Yisra’el, or of the strangers who dwell among you, who hunts and catches any animal or bird that may be eaten, he shall pour out its blood and cover it with dust; 14 For it is the life of all flesh. Its blood sustains its life. Therefore I said to the children of Yisra’el, ‘You shall not eat the blood of any flesh, for the life of all flesh is its blood. Whoever eats it shall be cut off. Wayyiqra/Leviticus 17:10-11, 13-14

The family had to kill it.

Our sin crucified Yehoshua. It is as though we were there and we cry out:

“Crucify Him, Crucify Him.” Yochanan/John 19:6

The lamb was eaten with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.

‘Then they shall eat the flesh on that night; roasted in fire, with unleavened bread and with bitter herbs they shall eat. 15 Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread.

On the first day there shall be a holy convocation, and on the seventh day there shall be a holy convocation for you. No manner of work shall be done on them; but that which everyone must eat-that only may be prepared by you. 17 So you shall observe the Feast of Unleavened Bread. Shemot/Exodus 12:8, 15

Yehoshua said that we must eat His body. He was referring on the Passover lamb. For He was indeed the Lamb of Elohim who takes away the sins of the world.

“Behold the Lamb of Elohim, who takes away the sins of the world.” Yochanan/John 1:31

“I am the bread of life. Yochanan 6:35

Most assuredly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you.

61 Does this; offend you? “”What then if you should see the Son of Man ascend where He was before? 63 It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. “The words that I speak to you are spirit and they are life. Yochanan 6:53, 61-63

When He said this He was revealing Himself to Them as their salvation,their Deliverer, but they did not understand. And still some do not understand.

Communion: The Last Supper.

And as they were eating, Yehoshua took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to the disciples and said, “Take, eat; this is My body.”

Then He took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all e of you. For this is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. But I say to 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.

Mattithyahu/Matthew 26:26-29

Please notice that He called the drink “fruit of the vine.” He did not give them blood to drink. The bread was bread not flesh, and the juice was still the fruit of the vine. He did not changed them supernaturally to become human elements.

He could not break His own Word.

We partake of the elements in remembrance of Him. (See Qorin’tiyim 1/1 Corinthians 1:25-26)

We celebrate the Pesach/Passover in remembrance not only on when Israel came out of slavery, but on Yehoshua’s death and resurrection, for He died and rose again on the third day according to the Scriptures, but this is another message.

This is a short outline for those who say that we are in the New Testament, and we do not have to celebrate the Passover. The Passover is a prophetic shadow picture of the Death of our Savior Yehoshua. We should be very eager to celebrate this Passover and Feast of Unleavened Bread.

In the first Passover, Yehovah spared the firstborn of the children of Yisra’el. This was the last plague that Yehovah sent to Egypt because Pharaoh would not let Yisra'el go. But they had to apply the blood of the innocent animal to the door. Therefore when Yehovah would pass by that night and see the blood He would not allow the destroyer to kill the firstborn. But if even Israel had disobeyed the command, they too would be afflicted with the death of their firstborn. However they obeyed, therefore only the Egyptians lost their firstborn, and Pharaoh finally released them to leave. It is reminding us of the Sovereignty and power of our Creator. He will protect us if we obey His Rules.

So what is the Passover? “It is the Passover sacrifice of Yehovah’s , who passed over the houses of the children of Israel I Egypt when He struck the Egyptians and delivered our households.” Shemot 12:27

If we believe in Yehovah’s Son Yehoshua, and receive Him into our lives, we also will be spared protected. In this case the battle is against Satanic forces. But we must make the correct choice and be under the shed blood of Yehoshua Ha'Mashiach, in order to have eternal life. One lamb for every family. Yehovah will save us and our families if we trust in Yehoshua.

Shalom, and happy Pesach and happy resurrection in three days and three nights!

PESACH AND THE LAMB OF ELOHIM

My friends, we are in the Pesach season. Today is the tenth day of the first Biblical month, and is the 23th day of March. On this day the lamb had to be chosen to be offered as the sacrificial lamb for the Pesach. Pesach in case you are not familiar with the term is called Passover in the English language. This first Biblical month begins the whole Biblical year for those who follow the Bible teachings.

Yehovah spoke to Mosheh/Moses when Yisra’el came out of Mitsrayim/Egypt saying:

“This month is the beginning of the months for you, it is the first month of the year for you.” Shemot/Exodus 12:2 HS

Then He continued to instruct Mosheh.

“Speak to all the congregation of Yisra’el, saying, ‘On the tenth day of his month each one of them is to take for himself a lamb, according to the house of his father, a lamb for a household. ‘And if the household is too small for the lamb, let him and his neighbor next to his house take it according to the number of the beings, according to each man’s need you make your count for the lamb. ‘Let the lamb be a perfect one, a year old male. Take it from the sheep or from the goats. And you shall keep it until the fourteenth day of the same month. Then the congregation of Yisra’el shall kill it between the evenings. And they shall take some of the blood and put it on the two doorposts and on the lintel of the houses where they eat it.” Shemot 12:3-7 HS

Yehovah continued to teach Mosheh telling how to cook the animal and how to eat it. But before they would cook the animal they had to apply the blood on the lintels and doorposts of the entrance door of their house. Yisra’el could not leave the house, they had to stay inside, or they would not be under the protection of the blood and would die together with the Egyptians who did disobey. That night of the Passover all the first born of Egypt died according to the word of Yehovah, but Yisra’el was saved and set free from bondage. (See Shemot 12:29-32).

Therefore about two thousands years ago on today this lamb had to be chosen, and kept in the house for four days, then they would kill it between the evenings, around 3 PM our time. But that year was very special. For the Lamb of Elohim was also chosen, and would be offered as the Supreme Sacrifice on our behalf. Yehovah sent His only Ben/Son, Yehoshua, to take our sins away by giving his life for us. His Blood was shed on our behalf, and we also must apply the blood on our lives. Without shedding of blood there is no remission. No sin can be forgiven without the shedding of the Lamb of Elohim (See Yochanan 1:29;35). And that Blood must be apply to our lives.

Yehoshua paid the price for our sins, for sin brings forth death. But our personal death could not atone for our lives, for it is unclean. However, Yehoshua’s Blood is Precious for it is the Blood of the Father Yehovah.

For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of Elohim.” Qorin’tiyim 2/2 Corinthians 5:21

Yehovah prepared a body for His Ben, and placed Him in the womb of a woman, a virgin. We cannot understand how this took place. But the Scriptures say:

Therefore coming in the world, He says, “Slaughtering (sacrifice) and meal offering You did not desire, but a body You have prepared for Me.” Ivrim/Hebrews 10:5

He was pure and most Holy, and because of this fact He could be our innocent Perfect unblemished Sacrifice. This blog cannot speak more in detail about it, for it would take too much space. But you must remember that in order for you to enter into the Kingdom of Heaven, you must believe in Yehoshua and receive Him into you life. When you do, you repent of your sins, and He will wash away your sins away. Then you will be able to have a personal relationship with the Father and the Son, via His Ruach haQodesh or Holy Spirit who will be in you. You will experience a personal relationship with the Creator of the Universe. He will speak with you and lead you in the way you should go.

If you do not know Him as your Savior, please do it now. He is ready to receive you. His love you is greater than that of your own parents and siblings. His love is manifested in the sacrifice Yehoshua when He died for you on that cross.

Please do it now and be reconciled to the Father in Heaven. I pray that you will celebrate Pesach this year with a better understanding of the true Pesach. Rejoice for His rose from the dead and is alive!

Please know that Yehovah is the Creator of the universe. Yehovah is his His Name. This is how He called Himself (Shemot 3:15). You can read my other blogs, and find out more about the correct Name of Yehovah.

Yehoshua is his only Beloved Son, who came to die for us and rise again on the third day on a Saturday, that year. He was buried for three days and three nights, as Yonah was in the belly of the fish, but rose on the third day, not two days later, as religion wants Him to be risen. Do not be entangled in many things that would cause confusion. Read His Word and study. Learn a little Hebrew if possible, and be informed. Shalom.

THE COMPASSION OF YEHOSHUA

 

As I was praying this morning I sensed in my spirit that I needed to be praying for the sick. Yehovah is beginning to pour His Spirit on all flesh. In many dry areas He is saving and healing thousands and thousands of hungry and thirsty souls. Are you in need today? Are you hungry for Him? Are you thirsty? Do you need salvation? If you do Yehoshua is here now to save you. Simply repent of you sin and ask Yehovah to forgive you. Believe in Yehoshua who came to die for you, but rose again and He is alive now, and He is able to save you and to heal you. Yehoshua came to fulfill the Scriptures.

“Surely He has born our griefs and carried our sorrows; Yet we esteemed stricken, smitten by Elohim (God) and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned, every one, to his own way; and Yehovah (the LORD) has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.”

Yeshayahu/Isaiah 53:4-6

When we go to the New Testament, we read how this prophecy has been fulfilled in the Mashiach Yehoshua. You will find out that He indeed died for your sins, and He also rose again. Because He rose you and I will also rise again to be with Him for eternity.

He came to reconciled us to the Father. He saved us and healed us.

The compassion of Yehoshua healed the sick.

Then Yehoshua went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people. But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd. Mattithyahu/Matthew 9:35-36

He healed while He was in Israel, and He is alive today and heals you today where you are.

In chapter 10 of Mattithyahu gospel we read that He gave power to His disciples to heal.

In the gospel of Marqos/Mark, chapter 16, we also read that signs will follow the believers. He who believes and is baptized will be saved, and they will cast out demons, and will speak with new tongues. They will also lay hands on the sick and they will be healed.

Yehoshua will heal you today. I will pray and He will heal you if you are sick. Yehoshua is the Healer, not me. Look to Him only now and receive your healing.

“In the mighty all powerful Name of Yehoshua and of His Blood, I command the spirit off affliction to leave you and never return.

I command every spirit of infirmity to go now, in Yehoshua’s Name.

In the Name and the Blood of Yehoshua HaMashiach I now take authority of the spirit of addiction in your life. I command the demon of drugs and alcohol to go now, and never return.

In the mighty Name and the Blood of Yehoshua I command the spirit that is affection your pancreas to go now, and never return.

in the Name and the Blood of Yehoshua our Messiah I command blindness to go now, and never return.

In the Name and the Blood of Yehoshua haMashiach I speak to the spirit of arthritis in any area of your body, and I command it to leave and never return.

And in the Name and the Blood of Yehoshua haMashiach I also speak the demon of cancer in the colon; in the liver; in the bones; and in any area of the body, including the brain, and I command it to leave now, and never return.

In the mighty all powerful Name of Yehoshua I command blindness to leave, and never return. I also command the spirit of deafness to go now, in the mighty all powerful Name of Yehoshua.

I take authority over every demon that his harassing you. If you have anxiety, Yehovah has not given you a spirit of fear, but of power, of love and of sound mind.

In the mighty all powerful Name of Yehoshua I command fear to go and never return. I plead the Sacred and Most Holy Blood of Yehoshua haMashiach upon every believer that is reading this message. I speak to you wholeness and tranquility. May you serve Yehovah and give Him glory. Read His Word and find peace for you soul.

Do not get involved in the worldly things that distract your mind, but keep you mind steadfast on Him alone. Thank Yehovah for dying for your sins, and obey His Word.

Thank Him now for Healing you. Do not trust on feeling, just believe and thank Him.

“For this purpose the Ben/Son of Elohim (God) was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.”Yochanan 1/1John 3:8

Sickness is not a gift of Yehovah, it is of the devil that loves to afflict us. Sometimes he makes us sick because we have opened the door to him through our sin of disobedience; other times because of generational sin; and other times because Yehovah wants to reveal his glory in us, through our healing. We do not judge, we simply pray, and our Father in Heaven, because of His love and mercy, heals us. Receive the healing and thank Him always. Serve Him only, and flee evil. Forgive those who hurt you and pray for them. This is our duty. Shalom to you.

LENGTH OF DAYS

 

Today I want to talk about the length of days, but not how many days we may have until the end of the world. That subject I live it to the scholars. They may give you dates and times when the New Heaven and New Earth will be re-created, but I will not talk about this today. Times and dates belong to Yehovah alone.

But I will speak on the length or our personal lives.

I have been occasionally been gifted with a gift that may not be too appreciated by the sinner, but welcomed by the righteous. By “righteous” I mean a person who has been born again and therefore has had his sins washed away in the Blood of Yehoshua.

As you may know, if you are familiar with my blogs, Yehoshua is the Biblical name of our Savior. His name is also shortened to Yeshua. He is the One whose name had been removed and given the name Jesus. However, as you may know, Yehoshua means “Yehovah saves,” while Jesus means nothing. Hebrew names have always a meaning. The name many times describes the person. But this is not the purpose of this message.

I want to ask you a question: Do ask Yehovah what is the length of your days on this planets? Would this knowledge scare you? It might if your sins are not washed in the Blood of Yehoshua. Because if you are born again you know that to be absent of this body is to be present to Yehovah. When our soul lives this body immediately is in the present of Yehovah. If we know Yehoshua as our Savior we have nothing to fear. Therefore as believers we know that dying is a blessing, not a curse. When we die we are going to Heaven, and we are alive for eternity, and eventually have a new body, as Yehoshua had at His resurrection.

But let us assume that you are not a believer, and Yehovah reveals to me, for some reason, that you will die in a a specific set time. What would you say to me? Would you tell me that I am cursing you? If you would say that means that you are far from Yehovah. You may have been saved, or born again in the past, but presently you are living in sin.

The right response to this information would be one of self-inspection. I would pray and ask Yehovah to reveal any secret sin in my life.

Or I may be fornicating and or not obeying His Commandments, and I would need to make things right.

We know that the length of days for the sinner are not blessed, and usually are shortened. In fact you may notice that a drunkard and a smoker do not live a healthy life and die early. I know personally one person who could not stop drinking and smoking and died at 58 years old. That was a shock to the family, the wife and daughter mourned his death for many years. You see, this man did not know that Yehoshua could help him to quit. He did not know that Yehoshua died for sins, and he could receive eternal life in Heaven with Him.

However there are others that may live a long life because people are praying for their deliverance and salvation. Those people will receive a visitation at the end of their days, before dying and finally give their lives to their Savior. However they lived a miserable life.

Others when told they will die, they will repent and Yehovah increase their life span.

I second Kings we read the following story:”In those days ‘”Chizqiyahu/Hezekiah was sick and near death. And Yeshayahu/Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, went to him and said to him, “Thus says Yehovah, “Set your house your house in order, for you shall die and not live.’

Melakhim 2/2 Kings 20:1

The Scriptures tells us the King cry out to Yehovah, and immediately Yehovah spoke to Yeshayahu telling him the following:

“Return to Chizqiyahu the leader of My people, “Thus said Yehovah,, the Elohim of Dawid your father,, “I have heard your prayer, I have seen your tears. See, I am going to heal you. On the third day go up to the House of Yehovah.” Melakhim 2, 20: 5

As you can see, Yehovah listens to our prayers. But sometimes we do nothing to change our ways, and then our life is cut short. In fact the Scriptures speaks about this subject.

Solomon reigned only 40 years, and the end of his reign had enemies, all of this because he disobeyed Yehovah. He got too many heathen wives that turned his heart after other gods.

“For Solomon went after Ashtoreth, the goddess of the Sidonians, and Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites. Solomon did evil in the sight of Yehovah, and did not fully follow Yehovah, as did his; father Dawid. Then Solomon built a high place for Chemosh the abomination of Moab, on the hills that is east of Jerusalem, and for Molech the abomination of the people of Ammon. Melakhim 1, 11:5-7

You may say that you would never do that! I warn you now. If you are not serving Yehovah and obeying Him, and you refuse to believe in the Mashiach Yehoshua, you are indeed an idolater. You are already serving other gods, and you need to repent.

Repent today and consecrate your life to Yehovah and believe the gospel.

Yehovah warned Solomon and told him:

“So if you walk in my ways to keep My statutes and My Commandments, as your father Dawid walked, then I will lengthen your days.”

Melakhim 1, 3:14

Solomon was the most wise man on earth. However, He had a problem with sex and that ruined him, and die prematurely. You think you can escape His Word if you do your own thing? You may be alive today by His pure mercy because He wants you to repent and save you from hell. Choose today to serve Him, and live a peaceful life. Amen.

THE SAMARITAN WOMAN

 

Yehoshua was on his way to Galilee, but He needed to pass through Samaria.

So He came to a city of Samaria which is called Sychar, near the plot of ground that Jacob gave to his so Joseph. Now Jacob’s well was there. Yehoshua therefore, being wearied from His journey, sat thus by the well. It was about the sixth hour. Yochanan/John 4:5-6

The Scriptures continue to describe what happened next.

There was a woman who came to get water, and Yehoshua knowing what He would do, asked the woman for water.

“Give Me a drink.” Yochanan 4:7

The woman recognizes that this Man was Jewish and questioned Him. She wondered why would He ask her, a Samaritan woman, for a drink. After it all, the Jews did not like the Samaritans very much, because they were were foreigners who did not completely keep the Torah. They still worshiped their false gods.

But Yehoshua answered and said to her, “If you knew the gift of Elohim (God), and who it is who says to you, ‘Give Me a drink,’ you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water.” Yochanan 4:10

We notice that the woman had no clue with whom she was speaking. And so it is with many today. They read the Scriptures but do not grasp who Yehoshua really is. They still worship Mary His mother, and other dead man and women, thinking they can save them. They believe the mother of Yehoshua is co-Savior with Him! They are deceived because they do not read the Bible, but only believe what they have been taught.

However, we individually are responsible to know the Truth. It is very simple, so simple that a little child can understand. We do not need teachers to read, the Ruach HaQodesh (Holy Spirit), is our teacher. Yehoshua came in the flesh sent from His Father in Heaven, and when He was about 12 years old, He was sitting with the teachers discussing the Scriptures.

Now going back to the story today, the Samaritan when she heard His answer wondered how in the world would He give her water since he had no bucket!

Again we think things in the natural, and are blind to the spiritual. We fail to realize that Yehovah does not need anyone to bring solution to our problems. He is Almighty and will change the situation here in America as He sees fit and at His time. He will arise very soon and bring justice where justice needs to be. He will remove who He needs to remove and put back who needs to be put back. He knows the thoughts of men, but men do not believe because they are thinking in human terms. Satan makes sure to keep people blind.

I want to announce to you that victory is on its way. The Victor Yehoshua took the keys of Satan, and spoiled him of his power.

An awakening is coming in the next few weeks.

Now let us read what Yehoshua told the Samaritan woman.

Yehoshua answered her saying: “Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again, but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. “But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.” Yochanan 4:13-14

When He pours His Spirit, that in this story He compares to water, you will never thirst again.

But you must be born again of His Spirit first. You must repent of your sin, and believe and receive Yehoshua into your life. Once you do this, your become a child of Elohim (God).

Salvation is accepting the Pesach Lamb into your life, who is Yehoshua. But do not stop there, for seven weeks later is Shavuot, (Pentecost). At Pentecost the Ruach HaQodesh

came down from Heaven on the disciples in tongues of fire to empower them.

All of the 120 disciples present were filled with the Ruach haQodesh and spoke in other tongues. They spoke languages they never learned.

I have received this gift, and I have written about this experience in my book: New Life and Glory.” This book is available on Amazon as an e-Book to download, and on Paperback. I suggest you get a copy today, and if you can get a few more give them away as gifts.

You will not be sorry.

I was like that Samaritan woman. My faith was corrupted. But once I received my personal Shavuot, I was a new person.

Be encouraged today and begin to serve Yehovah with all your heart, and believe also in His only Ben (Son), and you will receive eternal life. He will prepare for you a place in Heaven. Do not wait for He is coming back for His own. You want to be a part of that number.

Shalom.
