Quote Of The Day:
Richard Booker “Celebrating the Lords Feasts
in the Church”
“Many Christians are realizing that the
origin of our faith is Jerusalem, not Athens, Rome, Geneva, Wittenburg,
Aldersgate, Azuza Street, Springfield, Nashville, Tulsa etc. As a result, Christian Churches around the
world are reaching out to the Jewish people in their communities, singing songs
from the OT, rediscovering their Jewish Roots and celebrating the Jewish Feasts
as fulfilled in Jesus. It is clearly
Gods appointed time to reconcile Jew and Gentile, binding us together by His
Spirit in Messiah.”
Deborah’s Drash Commentary:
Understanding the Passover/Pesach Season[3]
Part VI
11. The lamb must be eaten in haste
Exodus [Shemot]
12:11
And thus shall ye eat it: with your
loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and ye
shall eat it in haste: it is Jehovah's
passover.
Spiritual Application (Halacha). Bible believers must be quick to leave
Egypt (the influences of the world) and run toward the life that is in the
Messiah
Luke 19:5-6
5 When
he came to the place, he looked up and said to him, “Zakkai! Hurry! Come down,
because I have to stay at your house today!” 6 He climbed down as
fast as he could and welcomed Yeshua joyfully[4]
a)
It must be eaten with our loins girded
Exodus [Shemot] 12:11
And
thus shall ye eat it: with your loins girded,
your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and ye shall eat it in
haste: it is Jehovah's passover
Our loins being
girded speaks about our hearts' desire to eagerly serve and obey G-d. Our
spiritual loins are the truth of the Word of G-d
Ephesians
6:14
Stand therefore, having girded your
loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness,
Scriptures that speak about our loins being girded include the
following:
First Kings (Melachim) 18:46;
and the
hand of Jehovah was on Elijah; and he girded up his loins, and ran before Ahab
to the entrance of Jezreel.
Second Kings (Melachim) 4:29; 9:1;
2Ki 4:29 Then he
said to Gehazi, Gird up thy loins, and take my staff in thy hand, and go thy
way: if thou meet any man, salute him not; and if any salute thee, answer him
not again: and lay my staff upon the face of the child.
2Ki 9:1 And Elisha
the prophet called one of the sons of the prophets, and said unto him, Gird up
thy loins, and take this vial of oil in thy hand, and go to Ramoth-gilead.
Jeremiah (Yermiyahu)
1:17;
Jer 1:17 Thou
therefore gird up thy loins, and arise, and speak unto them all that I command
thee: be not dismayed at them, lest I dismay thee before them.
Luke 12:35;
35 “Be
dressed for action and have your lamps lit,[5]
Ephesians 6:14;
4 Therefore,
stand! Have the belt of truth buckled around your waist[6]
First Peter (Kefa) 1:13.
13 Therefore,
get your minds ready for work, keep yourselves under control, and fix your
hopes fully on the gift you will receive when Yeshua the Messiah is revealed.[7]
b)
Shoes must be on our feet
Exodus [Shemot] 12:11
And thus shall ye eat it: with your
loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your
staff in your hand; and ye shall eat it in haste: it is Jehovah's passover.
Shoes on our
feet speaks about our walk with God.
Scriptures that speak about shoes being on our feet include the
following:
Isaiah [Yeshayahu] 52:7;
How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet
of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace, that bringeth good
tidings of good, that publisheth salvation, that saith unto Zion, Thy God
reigneth!
Nahum [Nachum] 1:15;
Behold, upon the mountains the feet of him
that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace! Keep thy feasts, O Judah,
perform thy vows; for the wicked one shall no more pass through thee; he is
utterly cut off.
Romans 10:15;
15 And how can people proclaim him unless God sends
them?—as the Tanakh puts it,
How beautiful are the feet of those announcing good
news about good things!”[8]
Ephesians 6:15.
15 and
wear on your feet the readiness that comes from the Good News of shalom.[9]
c)
A staff must be in our hand
Exodus [Shemot] 12:11
And thus shall ye eat it: with your
loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff
in your hand; and ye shall eat it in haste: it is Jehovah's passover.
A staff in our hand speaks about the believer's authority in the
Kingdom of G-d by the name of Yeshua
Matthew [Mattityahu]
28:18-20
18 Yeshua
came and talked with them. He said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has
been given to me. 19 Therefore, go and make people from all nations
into talmidim, immersing them into the reality of the Father, the Son
and the Ruach HaKodesh,[10]
Scriptures that speak about a staff being in our hand include the
following:
Genesis (Bereishit)
38:17-18;
And he said, I will send thee a kid of the
goats from the flock. And she said, Wilt thou give me a pledge, till thou send
it?
And he said, What pledge shall I give thee?
And she said, Thy signet and thy cord, and thy staff that is in thy hand. And
he gave them to her, and came in unto her, and she conceived by him.
Exodus (Shemot) 14:16
And lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thy
hand over the sea, and divide it: and the children of Israel shall go into the
midst of the sea on dry ground.
Judges (Shoftim)
6:21;
Then the angel of Jehovah put forth the end
of the staff that was in his hand, and touched the flesh and the unleavened
cakes; and there went up fire out of the rock, and consumed the flesh and the
unleavened cakes; and the angel of Jehovah departed out of his sight.
First
Samuel (Sh 'muwel) 17:39-40;
And David girded his sword upon his apparel,
and he assayed to go; for he had not proved it. And David said unto Saul, I
cannot go with these; for I have not proved them. And David put them off him.
And he took his staff in his hand, and chose
him five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them in the shepherd's bag
which he had, even in his wallet; and his sling was in his hand: and he drew
near to the Philistine.
Second Samuel (Sh 'muwel) 3:29;
let it fall upon the head of Joab, and upon
all his father's house; and let there not fail from the house of Joab one that
hath an issue, or that is a leper, or that leaneth on a staff, or that falleth
by the sword, or that lacketh bread.
Second
Kings (Melachim) 4:29; 18:21;
Then he said to Gehazi, Gird up thy loins,
and take my staff in thy hand, and go thy way: if thou meet any man, salute him
not; and if any salute thee, answer him not again: and lay my staff upon the
face of the child.
Psalm (Tehillim) 23:4;
Yea, thou I walk through the valley of the
shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for thou art with me; Thy rod and thy
staff, they comfort me.

Isa 10:24 Therefore thus saith the
Lord, Jehovah of hosts, O my people that dwellest in Zion, be not afraid of the
Assyrian, though he smite thee with the rod, and lift up his staff against
thee, after the manner of Egypt.
Isa 14:5 Jehovah hath broken the staff
of the wicked, the sceptre of the rulers
Mark 6:7-8.
12.
It is the L-rd's Passover
Exodus [Shemot]
12:11
And thus shall ye eat it: with your
loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and ye
shall eat it in haste: it is Jehovah's passover.
Spiritual Application (Halacha). If we follow Yeshua with all
of our hearts, we will pass from death to life, and from judgment to divine
protection
John [Yochanan]
5:24;
24 Yes,
indeed! I tell you that whoever hears what I am saying and trusts the one who sent
me has eternal life—that is, he will not come up for judgment but has already
crossed over from death to life[11]
1 John [Yochanan] 3:14;
14 We,
for our part, know that we have passed from death to life because we keep
loving the brothers. The person who fails to keep on loving is still under the
power of death. [12]
2 Corinthians 5:17;
17 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![13]
Psalm [Tehillim] 91
Psa 91:1 He that dwelleth
in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the
Almighty.
Psa 91:2 I will say
of Jehovah, He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in whom I trust.
Psa 91:3 For he
will deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, And from the deadly pestilence.
Psa 91:4 He will
cover thee with his pinions, And under his wings shalt thou take refuge: His
truth is a shield and a buckler.
Psa 91:5 Thou shalt
not be afraid for the terror by night, Nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
Psa 91:6 For the
pestilence that walketh in darkness, Nor for the destruction that wasteth at
noonday.
Psa 91:7 A thousand
shall fall at thy side, And ten thousand at thy right hand; But it shall not come nigh thee.
Psa 91:8 Only with
thine eyes shalt thou behold, And see the reward of the wicked.
Psa 91:9 For thou,
O Jehovah, art my refuge! Thou hast made the Most High thy habitation;
Psa
91:10
There shall no evil befall thee, Neither shall any plague come nigh thy
tent.
Psa
91:11
For he will give his angels charge over thee, To keep thee in all thy
ways.
Psa
91:12
They shall bear thee up in their hands, Lest thou dash thy foot against
a stone.
Psa
91:13
Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: The young lion and the serpent
shalt thou trample under foot.
Psa
91:14
Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I
will set him on high, because he hath known my name.
Psa
91:15
He shall call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in
trouble: I will deliver him, and honor him.
Psa
91:16
With long life will I satisfy him, And show him my salvation.
13.
It is a memorial (Exodus [Shemot] 12:14;
Exo
12:14
And this day shall be unto you for a memorial,
and ye shall keep it a feast to Jehovah: throughout your generations ye shall
keep it a feast by an ordinance for ever.
Luke 22:1,7-8, 13-15,19
22
1 But the festival of Matzah, known as Pesach,
was approaching;[14]
7 Then
came the day of matzah, on which the Passover lamb had to be killed. 8
Yeshua sent Kefa and Yochanan, instructing them, “Go and prepare our Seder,
so we can eat.”[15]
13 They went and found things just as Yeshua had told
them they would be, and they prepared for the Seder.
14 When
the time came, Yeshua and the emissaries reclined at the table, 15 and
he said to them, “I have really wanted so much to celebrate this Seder
with you before I die! 1[16]
19 Also,
taking a piece of matzah, he made the b<rakhah, broke it, gave
it to them and said, “This is my body, which is being given for you; do this in
memory of me.”[17]
Spiritual Application (Halacha). Passover (Pesach) is a
memorial or a remembrance
There are two elements of remembrance:
a)
G-d remembers us
Genesis [Bereishit] 8:1; 9:1, 5-16; 19:29;
30:22;
Gen 8:1 And God
remembered Noah, and all the beasts, and all the cattle that were with him in
the ark: and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters assuaged;
Gen 9:1 And God
blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and
replenish the earth.
Gen 9:5 And surely
your blood, the blood of your lives,
will I require; At the hand of every beast will I require it. And at the hand
of man, even at the hand of every man's brother, will I require the life of
man.
Gen 9:6 Whoso
sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: For in the image of God
made he man.
Gen 9:7 And you,
be ye fruitful, and multiply; Bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply
therein.
Gen 9:8 And God
spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,
Gen 9:9 And I,
behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you;
Gen 9:10 and with
every living creature that is with you, the birds, the cattle, and every beast
of the earth with you. Of all that go out of the ark, even every beast of the
earth.
Gen 9:11 And I will
establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by
the waters of the flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the
earth.
Gen 9:12 And God
said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and
every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:
Gen 9:13 I do set
my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and
the earth.
Gen 9:14 And it
shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be
seen in the cloud,
Gen 9:15 and I will
remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of
all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.
Gen 9:16 And the
bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the
everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is
upon the earth.

19:29

God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when he
overthrew the cities in which Lot dwelt.
Gen
30:22
And God remembered Rachel, and God hearkened to her, and opened her
womb.
Exodus [Shemot] 2:24-25; 3:1; 6:2,5;
32:1-3,7,11,13-14;
Exo 2:24 And God
heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac,
and with Jacob.

saw the children of Israel, and God took knowledge of
them.

was keeping the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian: and he
led the flock to the back of the wilderness, and came to the mountain of God,
unto Horeb.
Exo 6:2 And God
spake unto Moses, and said unto him, I am Jehovah:
Exo 6:3 and I
appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, as God Almighty; but by my
name Jehovah I was not known to them.
Exo 6:4 And I have
also established my covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the
land of their sojournings, wherein they sojourned.
Exo 6:5 And
moreover I have heard the groaning of the children of Israel, whom the
Egyptians keep in bondage; and I have remembered my covenant.
Exo 32:1 And when
the people saw that Moses delayed to come down from the mount, the people
gathered themselves together unto Aaron, and said unto him, Up, make us gods,
which shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out
of the land of Egypt, we know not what is become of him.
Exo 32:2 And Aaron
said unto them, Break off the golden rings, which are in the ears of your
wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring them unto me.
Exo 32:3 And all
the people brake off the golden rings which were in their ears, and brought
them unto Aaron.
Exo 32:7 And
Jehovah spake unto Moses, Go, get thee down; for thy people, that thou
broughtest up out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves:
Exo
32:11
And Moses besought Jehovah his God, and said, Jehovah, why doth thy
wrath wax hot against thy people, that thou hast brought forth out of the land
of Egypt with great power and with a mighty hand?
Exo 32:13 Remember Abraham, Isaac, and
Israel, thy servants, to whom thou swarest by thine own self, and saidst unto
them, I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven, and all this land that
I have spoken of will I give unto your seed, and they shall inherit it for
ever.
Exo
32:14
And Jehovah repented of the evil which he said he would do unto his
people.
Leviticus [Vayikra] 26:14,31-33,38-45;
Lev
26:14
But if ye will not hearken unto me, and will not do all these
commandments;
Lev
26:31
And I will make your cities a waste, and will bring your sanctuaries
unto desolation, and I will not smell the savor of your sweet odors.
Lev
26:32
And I will bring the land into desolation; and your enemies that dwell
therein shall be astonished at it.
Lev
26:33
And you will I scatter among the nations, and I will draw out the sword
after you: and your land shall be a desolation, and your cities shall be a
waste.
Lev
26:38
And ye shall perish among the nations, and the land of your enemies
shall eat you up.
Lev
26:39
And they that are left of you shall pine away in their iniquity in your
enemies' lands; and also in the iniquities of their fathers shall they pine
away with them.
Lev
26:40
And they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their
fathers, in their trespass which they trespassed against me, and also that,
because they walked contrary unto me,
Lev
26:41
I also walked contrary unto them, and brought them into the land of
their enemies: if then their uncircumcised heart be humbled, and they then
accept of the punishment of their iniquity;
Lev
26:42
then will I remember my covenant with Jacob; and also my covenant with
Isaac, and also my covenant with Abraham will I remember; and I will remember
the land.
Lev
26:43
The land also shall be left by them, and shall enjoy its sabbaths, while
it lieth desolate without them: and they shall accept of the punishment of
their iniquity; because, even because they rejected mine ordinances, and their
soul abhorred my statutes.
Lev
26:44
And yet for all that, when they are in the land of their enemies, I will
not reject them, neither will I abhor them, to destroy them utterly, and to
break my covenant with them; for I am Jehovah their God;
Lev
26:45
but I will for their sakes remember the covenant of their ancestors,
whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the nations, that
I might be their God: I am Jehovah.
Numbers [Bamidbar] 10:1-2,9;
Num 10:1 And
Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
Num 10:2 Make thee
two trumpets of silver; of beaten work shalt thou make them: and thou shalt use
them for the calling of the congregation, and for the journeying of the camps.
Num 10:9 And when
ye go to war in your land against the adversary that oppresseth you, then ye
shall sound an alarm with the trumpets; and ye shall be remembered before
Jehovah your God, and ye shall be saved from your enemies.

Psa
105:7
He is Jehovah our God: His judgments are in all the earth.
Psa
105:8
He hath remembered his covenant for ever, The word which he commanded to
a thousand generations,
Psa
105:42 For he remembered his holy word, And
Abraham his servant.
Psa
105:43 And he brought forth his people with joy, And his chosen with singing.
Psa
112:6
For he shall never be moved; The righteous shall be had in everlasting
remembrance.
In fact, G-d has a book of remembrance
Exodus [Shemot]
32:32-33;
Exo
32:32
Yet now, if thou wilt forgive their sin-; and if not, blot me, I pray
thee, out of thy book which thou hast written.

I blot out of my book.
Malachi
3:16-18;
Mal 3:16 Then they
that feared Jehovah spake one with another; and Jehovah hearkened, and heard,
and a book of remembrance was written before him, for them that feared Jehovah,
and that thought upon his name.

shall be mine, saith Jehovah of hosts, even
mine own possession, in the day that I make; and I will spare them, as a man
spareth his own son that serveth him.
Mal 3:18 Then shall
ye return and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that
serveth God and him that serveth him not.
Revelation 3:5; 20:11-15; 21:1,27
Rev 3:5 He that
overcometh shall thus be arrayed in white garments; and I will in no wise blot
his name out of the book of life, and I will confess his name before my Father,
and before his angels.
Rev
20:11
And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat upon it, from whose
face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
Rev
20:12
And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne;
and books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of
the things which were written in the books, according to their works.
Rev
20:13
And the sea gave up the dead that were in it; and death and Hades gave
up the dead that were in them: and they were judged every man according to
their works.
Rev
20:14
And death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second
death, even the lake of fire.
Rev
20:15
And if any was not found written in the book of life, he was cast into
the lake of fire.
Rev 21:1 And I saw
a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth are
passed away; and the sea is no more.
Rev
21:27
and there shall in no wise enter into it anything unclean, or he that
maketh an abomination and a lie: but only they that are written in the Lamb's
book of life.
b) We must remember G-d
Exodus [Shemot] 13:3; 20:8;
Exo 13:3 And Moses
said unto the people, Remember this day, in which ye came out from Egypt, out
of the house of bondage; for by strength of hand Jehovah brought you out from
this place: there shall no leavened bread be eaten.
Exo 20:8 Remember
the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
Deuteronomy [Devarim] 7:17-19; 8:18; 16:3;
Deu 7:17 If thou
shalt say in thy heart, These nations are more than I; how can I dispossess
them?
Deu 7:18 thou shalt
not be afraid of them: thou shalt well remember what Jehovah thy God did unto
Pharaoh, and unto all Egypt;
Deu 7:19 the great
trials which thine eyes saw, and the signs, and the wonders, and the mighty
hand, and the outstretched arm, whereby Jehovah thy God brought thee out: so
shall Jehovah thy God do unto all the peoples of whom thou art afraid.
Deu 8:18 But thou
shalt remember Jehovah thy God, for it is he that giveth thee power to get
wealth; that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as
at this day.
Deu 16:3 Thou shalt
eat no leavened bread with it; seven days shalt thou eat unleavened bread
therewith, even the bread of affliction; for thou camest forth out of the land
of Egypt in haste: that thou mayest remember the day when thou camest forth out
of the land of Egypt all the days of thy life.
Numbers [Bamidbar] 15:37-41
Num
15:37
And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
Num
15:38
Speak unto the children of Israel, and bid them that they make them
fringes in the borders of their garments throughout their generations, and that
they put upon the fringe of each border a cord of blue:
Num
15:39
and it shall be unto you for a fringe, that ye may look upon it, and
remember all the commandments of Jehovah, and do them; and that ye follow not
after your own heart and your own eyes, after which ye use to play the harlot;
Num
15:40
that ye may remember and do all my commandments, and be holy unto your
God.
Num
15:41
I am Jehovah your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be
your God: I am Jehovah your God.
14.
It is to be observed at the going down
of the sun
Deuteronomy [Devarim]
16:2,6
Deu 16:2 And thou
shalt sacrifice the passover unto Jehovah thy God, of the flock and the herd,
in the place which Jehovah shall choose, to cause his name to dwell there.
Deu 16:6 but at the
place which Jehovah thy God shall choose, to cause his name to dwell in, there
thou shalt sacrifice the passover at even, at the going down of the sun, at the
season that thou camest forth out of Egypt.
This was fulfilled by Yeshua at His
crucifixion
Matthew [Mattityahu] 27:45-50
45 From noon until three o’clock in the afternoon, all
the Land was covered with darkness. 46 At about three, Yeshua
uttered a loud cry, “Eli! Eli! L’mah sh’vaktani? (My God! My God! Why
have you deserted me?)” 47 On hearing this, some of the
bystanders said, “He’s calling for Eliyahu.” 48 Immediately one of them
ran and took a sponge, soaked it in vinegar, put it on a stick and gave
it to him to drink. 49 The rest said, “Wait! Let’s see if
Eliyahu comes and rescues him.” 50 But Yeshua, again crying out in a
loud voice, yielded up his spirit.[18]
