Pesach (Passover) and Unleavened Bread
All of the eternal "High
Shabbaths" are designed by the Father YAHUAH
to teach those of us with "ears to
hear" and "eyes to see" about the
"true plan of salvation." All of the High Shabbaths are physical examples
of spiritual truths and are not to be followed as legalistic rules and
regulations but are to be used as a tool to teach spiritual truths. "One
of the greatest testimonies to the greatness of YAHUAH is how His plan
for salvation is in the literal history of Israel." As we continue to
study the Passover, which
will be observed at sundown April 23 and
Unleavened Bread, which will be observed from April 24-30, I will
attempt to show in Scripture the physical or tangible example, as well
as teach the spiritual or intangible lesson on the importance of YAHUAH's feasts. The book of Exodus teaches us how the first pesach as
an event occurred: Exodus 12:1-3, vs. 15 And YAHUAH spake unto Moses and
Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying, 2 This
chodesh (month) shall be unto
you the ro`sh (beginning) of chodesh(months): it shall be the ri`shown
chodesh (first month) of the
shana to you. 3 Speak ye unto all the
congregation of Israel, saying in the tenth day of this chodesh they
shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their
fathers, a lamb for an house: 15 Seven days shall you eat unleavened
bread; even the first day ye shall put away leaven out of your houses:
for whosoever eats leavened bread from the first day until the seventh,
that soul shall be cut off from Israel. YAHUAH had to teach the children
of Israel His calendar. He speaks to Moses and tells him that this month
will be the beginning of months and the first month of the year to you.
Although Exodus teaches us how the Passover as an event occurred, it
does not necessarily teach us how to observe the Pesach as it has been
instituted, as a Remembrance. We will later study how to implement this
event as a memorial.
In the Hope of YAHUSHA MashaYAH,
