Quote Of The Day:
Eddie Chumney
“The Seven Festivals of Messiah”
“The festivals
of the L-rd found in Leviticus 23/Vayikra
were given to us by G-d so His people could understand the coming of the
Messiah/Moshiach and the role that Messiah/Moshiach would play in redeeming and
restoring both man and the earth back to G-d following the fall of man in the
Garden of Eden (Gan Eden). Although
most non-Jewish Bible believers have heard of the feasts, the deep meaning and
the importance of these feasts are almost universally not understood.”
Deborah’s Drash Commentary:
Understanding the Passover/Pesach Season[3]
God's Commandments (Mitzvot) for Passover (Pesach)
- Passover was the beginning of months (Exodus [Shemot] 12:2).
Exo 12:2 This month
shall be unto you the beginning of
months: it shall be the first month of
the year to you.
Spiritual
Application (Halacha). Nisan is the first month of the
religious calendar. Receiving Yeshua into our lives is the beginning
of a New Covenant (Brit Hadashah) relationship with G-d
Jeremiah
[Yermiyahu] 31:31-33; KJV
Jer
31:31 Behold, the days come, saith the
LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the
house of Judah:
Jer
31:32 Not according to the covenant
that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand
to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although
I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD:
Jer
31:33 But this shall be the
covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the
LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts;
and will be their God, and they shall be my people.
John
[Yochanan] 3:5-7; KJV
Joh
3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I
say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he
cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
Joh
3:6 That which is born of the flesh is
flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
Joh
3:7 Marvel not that I said unto thee,
Ye must be born again.
John/Yochanan
3:5-7 Complete Jewish Bible
5 Yeshua
answered, “Yes, indeed, I tell you that unless a person is born from water and
the Spirit, he cannot enter the Kingdom of God. 6 What is born from
the flesh is flesh, and what is born from the Spirit is spirit. 7 Stop
being amazed at my telling you that you must be born again from above! 8 The
wind blows where it wants to, and you hear its sound, but you don’t know where
it comes from or where it’s going. That’s how it is with everyone who has been
born from the Spirit.”[4]
Romans
6:1-4; KJV
Rom
6:1 What shall we say then? Shall we
continue in sin, that grace may abound?
Rom
6:2 God forbid. How shall we, that are
dead to sin, live any longer therein?
Rom
6:3 Know ye not, that so many of us as
were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
Rom
6:4 Therefore we are buried with him by
baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the
glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
Romans
6:1-4 Complete Jewish Bible
1 So
then, are we to say, “Let’s keep on sinning, so that there can be more grace”? 2
Heaven forbid! How can we, who have died to sin, still live in it? 3
Don’t you know that those of us who have been immersed into the Messiah
Yeshua have been immersed into his death? 4 Through immersion into
his death we were buried with him; so that just as, through the glory of the
Father, the Messiah was raised from the dead, likewise we too might live a new
life[5]
2 Corinthians 5:17). KJV
2Co
5:17 Therefore if any man be in
Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all
things are become new.
2
Corinthians 5:17 Complete Jewish Bible
7 Therefore,
if anyone is united with the Messiah, he is a new creation—the old has passed;
look, what has come is fresh and new![6]
Passover
is the first of the feasts. Likewise, repenting of our sins (teshuvah)
and believing in the shed blood of Yeshua is our first step in our
walk (halacha) with G-d.
The
Work of Yeshua – A Passover Guide Batya Wootten
The
shadowy days of Passover and First Fruits fortold the death and resurrection of
the Lamb of God. Passover depicted His
sacrifice on our behalf, by which He took away our sins. First fruits foretold His being the first to
be raised from the dead. On theses days Y’shua was working. He was canceling
out the certificate of debt consisting of decrees against us. He was diligently disarming rulers and
authorities and making a public display of them. He was working-He was beginning to bring in the sheaves that are
His people.
John
1:29
29 The next day John saw Jesus coming to
him and said, Look! There is the Lamb of God, Who takes away the sin of the
world![7]
Coloossians
2:14-15
14 Having cancelled and blotted out and
wiped away the handwriting of the note (bond) with its legal decrees and
demands which was in force and stood against us (hostile to us). This
[note with its regulations, decrees, and demands] He set aside and
cleared completely out of our way by nailing it to [His] cross.
15 [God] disarmed the principalities and
powers that were ranged against us and made a bold display and public
example of them, in triumphing over them in Him and in it [the cross].[8]
Psalms
126:6
He who goes to and fro weeping, carrying his bag of seed,
Shall indeed come again with a shout of joy, bringing his sheaves with
him.[9]
These
two feasts days foretell the “work of Y’shua”.
The Father said of His Firstborn, who is Y’shua, “My covenant shall be
confirmed to him. So I will establish his seed forever”
Psalm
89:28-29
28“My
lovingkindness I will keep for him forever,
And My covenant shall be confirmed to
him.
29“So I
will establish his descendants forever
And his throne as the days of heaven.[10]
In
fulfillment of this promise Y’shua has myriads of children who will live
eternally. They are children for whom
He travailed in labor.
Luke
22:44
44 And being in an agony
[of mind], He prayed [all the] more earnestly and intently, and His
sweat became like great clots of blood dropping down upon the ground.[11]
His
was a painful, hard labor that was
culminated on the cross. It also was a
labor of love, destined to give birth to a new creation. It was a labor so painful that He died from
it. Y’shua died to give birth to the
sons of righteousness.
John
1:12
12 But to as many as did
receive and welcome Him, He gave the authority (power, privilege, right)
to become the children of God, that is, to those who believe in (adhere to,
trust in, and rely on) His name—[12]
1
John 3:9
9 No one born (begotten) of
God [deliberately, knowingly, and habitually] practices sin, for God’s nature abides
in him [His principle of life, the divine sperm, remains permanently within
him]; and he cannot practice sinning because he is born (begotten) of God.[13]
1
Peter 1:23
23 You have been regenerated (born again), not from a mortal origin
(seed, sperm), but from one that is immortal by the ever living and
lasting Word of God.[14]
Phillipians
1:6
6 And I am convinced and
sure of this very thing, that He Who began a good work in you will continue
until the day of Jesus Christ [right up to the time of His return], developing
[that good work] and perfecting and bringing it to full
completion in you.[15]
Acts
12:40-41
40 Take care, therefore, lest there come upon
you what is spoken in the prophets:
41 Look, you scoffers and scorners,
and marvel and perish and vanish away; for I am doing a deed in your
days, a deed which you will never have confidence in or believe, [even]
if someone [clearly describing it in detail] declares it to you[16]
It is said that every person who celebrates The Passover, should
celebrate as if it was himself that was delivered from the bondage and slavery
of Egypt that night. As we celebrate
Messiah in the Passover, we need to give thanks to Him for delivering us from
our sins and from our cruel task master ha Satan. It is a time to celebrate our new spiritual birth into the
Kingdom. To celebrate His great love
for us.
