Matthew 27:45-46

The Meaning of Passover

Most are familiar with the events of the passover in the Old Covenant and how the blood of the lamb upon the doorposts and lintels brought salvation to the individuals in that household as the death angel passed overhead

to the house of his father, a lamb for a household. 5 Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year. 6. Now you shall keep it until

the fourteenth day of the same month. Then the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it at twilight.

Passover Lamb

“Messiah the Prince”, as the prophet Daniel refers to Him here entered Jerusalem for the Passover. It was the tenth day of Nisan. This was the only time He presented Himself to His covenant people in any political way. “Messiah the Prince” came in through the eastern gate and entered Jerusalem precisely on time

Passover Lamb

Messiah came in at the end of the 69 sevens of Biblical 360 day years. Nisan 10, Palm Sunday was precisely 173,880 days from the edict of Artaxerxes in his 20th year. This authority to restore and build Jerusalem was issued to Nehemiah in the month of Nisan in 445 B.C.. (See Neh. 2)

Passover Lamb

Passover Lamb

But his first coming was not without purpose. The Bridegroom of Israel was coming to His own with an offering of betrothal. And there upon that humble donkey He was bringing with Him the Bridal Price. It was a costly Gift. He was offering His very Life.

Three days later the Bridegroom sat down with just a select few of His covenant people. He presented His disciples with the cup of communion. This was an invitation to enter into a blood covenant relationship with Him. He was offering them His Eternal Covenant.

Passover Lamb

At the Last Supper, Messiah was courting His disciples in the manner of the Hebrew wedding engagement. He was offering them the cup of betrothal in the realms of Agape’, the love of God. It was back then

a proposal.

Passover Lamb

Judas would have none of this. At that moment he deserted and set about his task of betrayal. The Bridal price was rejected by the earthly religious hierarchies, the earthly “father of the Bride”. Instead they paid out thirty pieces of silver to a betrayer to have Israel’s visiting Bridegroom delivered over to the powers and put away. Judas later returned the blood money, throwing it back at them.

Passover Lamb

At that time and during those days before the feast the Passover lambs were being brought up for inspection. They

were to be found faultless and without mark or blemish.

Passover Lamb

Messiah too was being inspected, first by the religious powers

Passover Lamb

And then by the civil governmental powers. At that time it was Rome. They could find no fault with Him.

Passover Lamb

And so on the 14th day of the Nisan moon, as the Passover lambs were being slaughtered, Israel’s promised Passover

Lamb was also taken to the slaughter.

Passover Lamb

The Passover in the year of the Passion passed by with tears..Sadly they laid Him in the grave. The sun set on that awesome day

and another began. The 15th day of the Nisan moon began the Feast of Unleavened Bread. And the sinless Unleavened Bread of

Heaven was in the grave, fulfilling the feast.

Passover Lamb

Feast of Unleavened Bread

2. FEAST OF UNLEAVENED BREAD6 And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the Feast of Unleavened Bread to the Lord; seven days you must eat unleavened bread.7.

"Speak to the children of Israel, saying: 'In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you shall have a sabbath-rest, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation.25 You shall do no customary work on it; and you shall offer an offering made by fire to the Lord.' "

Yom Ter’uahDay of Blowing – sounding the ALARM

h8643. הCרועGHת t ru'a ; from 7321; clamor, i. e. acclamation of joy or a battle- cry; especially clangor of trumpets, as an alarum:— alarm, blow (- ing) (of, the) (trumpets), joy, jubile, loud noise, rejoicing, shout (- ing), (high, joyful) sound (- ing).AV (36)- shout 11, shouting 8, alarm 6, sound 3, blowing 2, joy 2, misc 4;I. alarm, signal, sound of tempest, shout, shout or blast of war

or alarm or joy A. alarm of war, war- cry, battle- cry B. blast ( for march) C. shout of joy ( with religious impulse) D. shout of joy ( in general)3

Three different sounds made with the Shofar

• Tekiah “Blast” One blast• Shevarim “Broken” 3 consecutive blast• Ter’uah “Alarm” 9 short quick blast

Three Series blown three times during the feastThey blow the series eleven (11) times through

9 x 11 = 99 sound of the shofarThen the “Last Trumpet” or “Great Blast”

Tekiah Gedolah - blowing and holding a final blast as long as he can (basically, until he runs out of breath).

Three different sounds made with the Shofar• Yom Teruah basically means a day of noise/blasts • The sounding of the shofar on Yom Teruah is a wake-up blast -- a

reminder that the time is near for the Day of Atonement. It is time to teshuvah (repent, turn back to YHVH)

• Yom Teruah begins a ten-day period leading up to the holiest day of YHVH's calendar, Yom Kippur -- the "Day Of Atonement.“

• the shofar warns us we need to examine our lives • Traditionally, the Baal Tekiah (shofar blower) begins with one held

blast called Tekiah; followed by three broken blasts called Shevarim; followed by nine even faster broken blasts called Teruah. The Tekiah, Shevarim, and Teruah each last the same length of time. These are repeated three times. Then the Baal Tekiah concludes by blowing and holding a final blast as long as he can (basically, until he runs out of breath). This final blast is called Tekiah Gedolah.

What is this day of Memorial of?Exo 19:15 And he said unto the people, Be ready against the third day: come not at your wives.16 And it came to pass on the third day in the morning, that there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice of the trumpet exceeding loud; so that all the people that was in the camp trembled. 17 And Moses brought forth the people out of the camp to meet with God; and they stood at the nether part of the mount. 18 And mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke, because the Lord descended upon it in fire: and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly. 19 And when the voice of the trumpet sounded long, and waxed louder and louder, Moses spake, and God answered him by a voice.

What is this day a “shadow” of?

Matthew 24

30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

What is this day a “shadow” of?

• The Spring Appointed days and Feasts matched the First Coming of Messiah

• This Fall Memorial of Blowing of Trumpet may be “the warning” that the Messiah is about to return!

Get Ready!

6. DAY OF ATONEMENT26 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 27 "Also the tenth day of this seventh month shall be the Day of Atonement. It shall be a holy convocation for you; you shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire to the Lord. 28 And you shall do no work on that same day, for it is the Day of Atonement, to make atonement for you before the Lord your God.29 For any person who is not afflicted in soul on that same day shall be cut off from his people. 30 And any person who does any work on that same day, that person I will destroy from among his people. 31 You shall do no manner of work; it shall be a statute forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings. 32 It shall be to you a sabbath of solemn rest, and you shall afflict your souls; on the ninth day of the month at evening, from evening to evening, you shall celebrate your sabbath."

32 It shall be unto you a sabbath of rest, and ye shall afflict your souls: in the ninth day of the month at even, from even unto even, shall ye celebrate your sabbath.

How is the Day of Atonement a “shadow” of the 2nd coming of Messiah?

Leviticus 2329 For whatsoever soul it be that shall not be afflicted in that same day, he shall be cut off from among his people.

• If you have not repented before the Lord returns, it will be too late, the door will be shut

• This day may be the day of the return of the Messiah

Feast of Tabernacles

7. FEAST OF TABERNACLES33. Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 34. "Speak to the children of Israel, saying: 'The fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be the Feast of Tabernacles for seven days to the Lord. 35 On the first day there shall be a holy convocation. You shall do no customary work on it. 36 For seven days you shall offer an offering made by fire to the Lord. On the eighth day you shall have a holy convocation, and you shall offer an offering made by fire to the Lord. It is a sacred assembly, and you shall do no customary work on it.37 These are the feasts of the Lord which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations, to offer an offering made by fire to the Lord, a burnt offering and a grain offering, a sacrifice and drink offerings, everything on its day-- 38 besides the Sabbaths of the Lord, besides your gifts, besides all your vows, and besides all your freewill offerings which you give to the Lord. 

39 'Also on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you have gathered in the fruit of the land, you shall keep the feast of the Lord for seven days; on the first day there shall be a sabbath-rest, and on the eighth day a sabbath-rest. 40 And you shall take for yourselves on the first day the fruit of beautiful trees, branches of palm trees, the boughs of leafy trees, and willows of the brook; and you shall rejoice before the Lord your God for seven days. 41 You shall keep it as a feast to the Lord for seven days in the year. It shall be a statute forever in your generations. You shall celebrate it in the seventh month. 42 You shall dwell in booths for seven days. All who are native Israelites shall dwell in booths, 43 that your generations may know that I made the children of Israel dwell in booths when I brought them out of the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.' " 44 So Moses declared to the children of Israel the feasts of the Lord

Moses Time Observed Jesus Time

Exo 23:20 Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared. 21 Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name is in him.

1 Cor 10:1 Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; 2 And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; 3 And did all eat the same spiritual meat; 4 And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.

John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

2 The same was in the beginning with God.

3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. 11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.

Rev 21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth:for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.

2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
