Faith is being sure of what you HOPE for and CERTAIN of what you do not see. Hebrews 11:1. Seder means order, and God ordered us to remember what He did for His children on the first Passover. It took place in Egypt, and His grace continues to passover us. Each feast day in the Bible is a divine appointment with God. Each feast day is all about Jesus, our Savior. Genesis 1:14 “Times and Seasons.” Leviticus 23:24 “Feasts of the Lord.” Who tries to divide the people of God? Who plots to kill and destroy? Our Father is all about reconciliation. AMEN
The Menorah burns during Passover. Each feast is represented by a candle. Jesus has fulfilled all 4 Spring feast days.
1) Passover Feast. Jesus is the Passover Lamb. Jesus died at 3 p.m. on the day of Passover.
2) The unleavened Bread Feast. Jesus was born during this feast and He died without sin. “I am the Bread of life.”
3) First Fruits Feast. Jesus rose from the dead on this feast day.
4) Purim or Adar. A day to remember God’s Way of Salvation. The Jews accepted God on Mt Sinai.
THE FALL FEAST DAYS
5) Feast of Trumpets. Also known as Rosh Hashanah, the Great Awakening. The Hidden Day. “You will not know the day or hour.” This feast occurs on new moon. A Time of Jacob’s Trouble. The Day of the Resurrection of the Dead. All other feasts occur during a full moon.
6) Day of Atonement.- Yom Kippur is a day for Israel to repent. The Jews go to their synagogue all dressed in white. Our High Priest Jesus appears in His white garment. On that day the veil will be lifted and the Jews will cry out. “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord “
7) Feast of Tabernacles. Jesus judges the 70 nations.
2024 on the Jewish calendar is 5784, which represents the DOOR, and we walk through in the Spirit as the Holy Spirit gives us understanding. Our Father gave specific details on how and when the perfect, unblemished lamb, was to be slain. His symbolic blood was spread on doorposts. Obedience of His Word kept the family safe from the wrath of God. As Christians, the blood of Jesus covers our hearts, our bloopers, and our sins. Today, our father’s wrath has passed over us because He sent His Son to pay the necessary price for our sins. Jesus took over a year to choose the twelve who God used to spread the Good News.
A fisherman named Simon Peter eventually came to fully understand the significance of each feast that the Jewish people had been celebrating for generations. Shabbat, a law of rest and gratitude. Each year since the parting of the Red Sea, the people of Israel celebrate the rituals of Passover, without knowing the meaning of all the symbols that point to Jesus.
As children of God, we choose to remember God’s mercy as He has delivered us all out of some kind of slavery. The highlight of the Passover is the Seder ceremony. Jesus broke a few of the traditions of the old testament by washing the feet of His disciples on the eve of His last supper with them. He dipped the unleavened bread into bitter herbs and handed it to Judas who betrayed Him.
This scripture is READ during a Seder: “Now the blood shall be a sign for you on the houses where you are. And when I see the blood, I will pass over you; and the plague shall not be on you to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt. ‘So this day shall be to you a memorial; and you shall keep it as a FEAST to the LORD throughout your GENERATIONS. You shall KEEP IT as a FEAST by an EVERLASTING ordinance.” The biblical feast called Passover is actually 3 feasts celebrated in the Spring: the Feast of PASSOVER, the Feast of UNLEAVENED Bread, and of FIRST FRUITS. Together they last 7 days. The Hebrew word “moedim” means appointment. God has appointed times to meet with His children. Each FEAST of the LORD are dress rehearsals for events that God’s Passover Lamb, Jesus will fulfill completely.
In every detail, all aspects of Passover, Unleavened (pierced) Bread, and First Fruits was fulfilled by Jesus. To prepare for Passover, unknowingly in Israel or the majority of the church, traditionally the mom of the house would spring clean, to rid the house of all sin. She placed a small pile of dirt in the corner. Dad gathers the kids, and with a candle, a feather, a wooden spoon, and a linen napkin the family finds the dirt sin pile. They sweep it onto a wooden spoon with the feather. Then they place the dirt into a linen napkin to take outside and destroy. The symbols:
1) Candle = Jesus, the Light of the world.
2) Feather = Holy Spirit who represents Jesus sweeping away sin.
3) Wooden Spoon = The Cross of Christ
4) Linen Napkin = The Burial cloth of Jesus.
God calls us to remember and draw strength from His faithfulness to rescue us from evil and provide us with His eternal plan of Salvation through Jesus Christ. “I will remember Your wonders of old. I will ponder Your work, and meditate on Your mighty deeds. Your way, O God is holy. What God is great like our God? You are the God who works wonders’ You have made known Your might among the people.” Psalm 77 During the Passover ceremony called the Seder, elements are shared that cause us to remember the bitterness of slavery, the blood of the Lamb, and God’s mercy and forgiveness as His wrath excludes those who accept Jesus as Lord. Why should Gentile Christians understand the Jewish Feast of Passover? Messianic Rabbi Schneider explains how Passover celebrates Christ’s fulfillment of OT law and prophecy.
Jesus completes the Passover. The crucifixion was God’s ultimate sacrifice for our sins — We, as the guilty, do not deserve the sacrifice of Jesus, who was completely innocent. It is entirely a gift that God gives to us by His amazing grace. We deserve wrath, however, God loves us enough to offer us a way out. John 3:16 “ For God so loved the world that He gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.” AMEN
Everything we do is for His glory. 1 Corinthians 10:31 As long as we have breath, it is our privilege to proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ, who walked among us, He gave His life for us, and He walked out of the tomb defeating death. “I must go away, but I will ask My Father and He will send you another Advocate, the Holy Spirit” We are never alone for He abides in those who BELIEVE! AMEN
There was an earthquake around 3 PM when Jesus gave up His Spirit. The earthquake also shook and suddenly, the mockers witnessed the earth crying out over the death of its Maker… “it is finished”. Jews have a tradition of ripping their clothes upon death of a loved one. God ripped the royal temple curtain to expose the Most Holy place now OPEN to give all humanity direct access to God. “Truly this was the Son of God!” Mark 15:39 — May we all recognize the truth and CRY out “Jesus is Lord” Jesus said “Remember Me”
The Matzah, or unleavened bread is very significant. During the Seder 3 pieces of Matzah bread are stored in Matzah Tash, a bag that has 3 pockets. According to Jewish tradition, the 3 slices and the 3 pockets represent Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, or Father, Son, Holy Spirit. Isaac is a picture of Jesus because in Genesis 22 – God tells Abraham to take Isaac and to offer his only son as a burnt offering. Our Father gave us His Son Jesus. During the Seder, out of the middle pocket, one slice of Matzah is withdrawn and broken in half. Jesus said during the last supper “This is My body” One half of the Matzah is set aside under a special covering until the end of the ceremony. This song explains what happened during the first Holy Week.
FAITH in GOD the FATHER began in the city of Hebron, just outside of Jerusalem. It was in Hebron where Abraham purchased a lot of land to bury his beloved wife Sarah. It is in Hebron where Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob are buried. The following presentation takes you to Hebron to where FAITH in God began.
What is the secret? What is the difference from one generation to the next? Thoughts from long ago about a small, but protected group of people. “If the statistics are right, the Jews constitute but one quarter of one percent of the human race. It suggests a nebulous puff of star dust lost in the blaze of the Milky Way. Properly, the Jew ought HARDLY to be heard of, but he is heard of, has always been heard of. He is as prominent on the planet as any other people, and his importance is extravagantly OUT of PROPORTION to the smallness of his bulk. His contributions to the world’s list of great names in literature, science, art, music, finance, medicine and abstruse learning are also very out of proportion to the WEAKNESS of HIS NUMBERS. He has made a marvelous fight in this world in all ages; and has DONE IT WITH his HANDS TIED BEHIND HIM. He could be vain of himself and be excused for it. The Egyptians, the Babylonians and the Persians rose, filled the planet with sound and splendor, then faded to dream-stuff and passed away; the Greeks and Romans followed and made a vast noise, and they were gone; other people have sprung up and held their torch high for a time but it burned out, and they sit in twilight now, and have vanished. The Jew saw them all, survived them all, and is now what he always was, exhibiting no decadence, no infirmities, of age, no weakening of his parts, no slowing of his energies, no dulling of his alert but aggressive mind. All things are mortal but the Jews; all other forces pass, but he remains. What is the secret of Israel’s immortality? ” Mark Twain – Sept 1897
Psalm 135:1-10 “Praise the name of the Lord; Praise Him, O you servants of the Lord! You who stand in the house of the Lord, In the courts of the house of our God, Praise the Lord, for the Lord is good; Sing praises to His name, for it is pleasant. For the Lord has chosen Jacob for Himself, Israel for His special treasure. For I know that the Lord is great, And our Lord is above all gods. Whatever the Lord pleases He does, In heaven and in earth, In the seas and in all deep places.”
The Exodus is the record of Israel’s birth as a nation. Like all of us, our story of Exodus begins in pain and ends in liberation. Psalm 118: 16-24 NKJV “The right hand of the Lord is exalted; The right hand of the Lord does valiantly. I shall not die, but live, And declare the works of the Lord. This is the gate of the Lord, through which the righteous shall enter. I will praise You, For You have answered me, and have become my salvation. This is the day the Lord has made; We will rejoice and be glad in it.” —
Jesus took on all of the leaven of our sin and was buried during the FEAST OF UNLEAVENED BREAD. That feast had been celebrated for 1,500 years. What we call communion today, is the PASSOVER meal fulfilled. We eat the unleavened bread of His Body – and partake of the blood of the sinless Lamb. The Jews presented their FIRST FRUITS to the LORD, and it became a consecrated harvest. Jesus fulfilled this feast by rising from the dead during the FIRST FRUITS festival. He is the Resurrection and the Life. Spread the blood of Jesus across the doorposts of your mind and heart. Jesus purchased eternal life for all of us. Hallelujah
Psalm 5:11 – “Be glad in the Lord and rejoice, you righteous; And shout for joy, all you upright in heart!” Psalm 32:11 – “And my soul shall be joyful in the Lord; It shall rejoice in His salvation.” Psalm 35:9 —
Oh Lord Jesus thank You for Your sacrifice! Jesus said, “I have come that they might have life, and have it abundantly!” (John 10:10). With the divine birth, death and resurrection of Jesus, the Kingdom of God became a reality for those who trust in the work Jesus finished on the cross. AMEN

Blessed is He who comes in the name of our Lord” AMEN AND AMEN. It’s the final trumpet of the Feast of Trumpets. Here is one way Paul described the Rapture: Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed— in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.—1 Corinthians 15:51-52
The Rapture has been associated with trumpet blasts since the first century. Throughout Scripture, it is linked with blasts of the shofar. That’s why it is called the Feast of Trumpets. Yom Teruah means “a day of blowing” or “the day of the awakening blasts.” When the trumpet sounds during the Rapture, it is not just a noise to get our attention. It is an awakening blast for those who are in their graves:
For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.—1 Thessalonians 4:16-17
“Thy Word oh Lord, is a light unto our feet.” Hosanna in the highest. Holt, Holy, Holy is our Lord, heaven and earth are filled with His glory.
The blood of Jesus applied to our souls, the temple of the Holy Spirit, our house on earth, causes us to be passed over when Jesus returns to strike the land. WHY we eat Matzoh during Passover: 1 Corin 5:7 Therefore purge out the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, since you truly are unleavened. For indeed Christ, our Passover, was sacrificed for us. 8 Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.” Jesus said “I am the bread of life” – Jesus was without leaven, or sin.

Daniel in Old Testament
1) The Middle East peace agreement is the event that starts the prophetic clock ticking for the final seven years of this age.
2) It will be a “firm” covenant, which may indicate that it will initially be forced or compelled. Or, it could mean that it will be the strengthening of an agreement that already exists.
3) It will eventually give Jews the right to offer sacrifices in a rebuilt temple, which means a Jewish temple must be rebuilt.
4) It will be broken by the Antichrist himself, at the midpoint of the treaty, in one of the great double-crosses of all time.
5) Israel at Peace with Her Neighbors
Daniel 9:27 This “covenant” that the Antichrist will make with Israel, the content not clear, but Daniel does indicate that it will extend for seven years. During the first half of this time Israel feels at peace and secure, so the covenant must provide some guarantee for Israel’s national security. Very likely the covenant will allow Israel to be at peace with her Arab neighbors. One result of the covenant is that Israel will be allowed to rebuild her temple in Jerusalem. This world ruler will succeed where other world leaders have failed. He will be known as the man of peace!”
The context of the Gog-Magog War in Ezekiel 38:8, says that “in the latter years” Israel will be “living securely, all of them.” Then verse 11 says that Israel will be “at rest” and will “live securely.” According to Ezekiel, there will be a time in the latter years when the regathered people of Israel will be living in a time of great peace and prosperity guaranteed by the Antichrist. During this time, when Israel has let down her guard, a coalition of nations led by Russia and Iran will invade the land and be wiped out by God.
The acceleration began with the Abraham Accords, brokered by the Trump administration, over a period of five months from August to December 2020. Israel entered into a series of treaties that normalized diplomatic relations between Israel and a surprising group of Arab nations, including the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Bahrain, Sudan, and Morocco. These four Arab states joined Egypt and Jordan in making peace with Israel.
This summit represents the first substantial materialization of the Abraham Accords. The Negev Summit was the second notable Middle Eastern gathering in a week, after another meeting between the leaders of Egypt, Israel and the UAE.
Next: A Peace Covenant? All eyes are on Ukraine and billions sent to Ukraine from USA? Something unprecedented and historic is happening in the Middle East. The Middle East peace process has a momentum it has never had before. What previous diplomats only dreamed of is quickly becoming reality. Arab nations are lining up to normalize relations with Israel, pursue a peaceful future, and even attend a summit within the borders of Israel. This is a key part of the build-up to the coming Middle East peace predicted in Daniel 9:27 and Ezekiel 38:8,11. When the Antichrist catapults onto the world scene in the end times, a framework may already be in place for him to strengthen and expand into a seven-year covenant of peace. That covenant will start the clock ticking on the final period of Tribulation.”
Jesus held a Passover Seder on the First Good Friday during the feast of Passover in Jerusalem. During the Feast of Tabernacles, Jesus was born.

Luke 22:15-22 “When the hour had come, He sat down, and the [b]twelve apostles with Him. 15 Then He said to them, “With fervent desire I have desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer; 16 for I say to you, I will no longer eat of it until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.”
17 Then He took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, “Take this and divide it among yourselves; 18 for I say to you, [c]I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.”
19 And He took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is My body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of Me.”
20 Likewise He also took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is shed for you. 21 But behold, the hand of My betrayer is with Me on the table. 22 And truly the Son of Man goes as it has been determined, but woe to that man by whom He is betrayed!”

And Peter said to Him, “Lord, are You washing my feet?” Jesus answered and said to him, “What I am doing you do not understand now, but you will know after this.”

20 When evening had come, He sat down with the twelve. 21 Now as they were eating, He said, “Assuredly, I say to you, one of you will betray Me.” And they were exceedingly sorrowful, and each of them began to say to Him, “Lord, is it I?” He answered and said, “He who dipped his hand with Me in the dish will betray Me. 24 The Son of Man indeed goes just as it is written of Him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been good for that man if he had not been born.” Then Judas, who was betraying Him, answered and said, “Rabbi, is it I?” He said to him, “You have said it.”
