Passover 2015:
I have come to realized that the Passover Feast of YHWH, is the single most important Feast of YHWH. Because it reminds us of:
The Creator's Calendar. When He said this month is the beginning of the months for you, it was the New Moon day, The first day of the phases of the moon. Or in our modern language -- the first day of the month/moon (or lunar month of the Luni-Solar Year according to the Scriptures). And instructed them that in the 10th day of the month (moon, or lunar month) every household must choose a Passover lamb, a year old without blemish. And on the 14th day of the month, is a Passover.
“This month is the beginning of months for you, it is the first month of the year for you.
(Exo 12:2 The Scriptures 1998+)“Speak to all the congregation of Yisra’ĕl, saying, ‘On the tenth day of this month each one of them is to take for himself a lamb, according to the house of his father, a lamb for a household.
(Exo 12:3 The Scriptures 1998+)When the New Moon day of the beginning of the months is determined, then ALL the Feasts (Hebrew: Appointed Times) of YHWH that were enumerated in Leviticus chapter 23 specifically are also determined, by the phases of the moon. There is no mistake about it. And the Head of the Feasts (Appointed Times) of YHWH is the weekly Sabbath, to be reckoned with, by the moon.. Followed by the Passover Feast (Appointed Time).

When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie that's a mooring.
ibidmoor·ing
ˈmo͝oriNGnoun
a place where a boat or ship is moored.
"the boat had been at its usual moorings immediately prior to the storm"
the ropes, chains, or anchors by or to which a boat, ship, or buoy is moored.
"the great ship slipped its moorings and slid out into the Atlantic"
And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,
(Lev 23:1 The Scriptures 1998+)“Speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, and say to them, ‘The appointed times of יהוה, which you are to proclaim as set-apart gatherings, My appointed times, are these:
(Lev 23:2 The Scriptures 1998+)‘Six days work is done, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of rest, a set-apart gathering. You do no work, it is a Sabbath to יהוה in all your dwellings.
(Lev 23:3 The Scriptures 1998+)‘These are the appointed times of יהוה, set-apart gatherings which you are to proclaim at their appointed times.
(Lev 23:4 The Scriptures 1998+)‘In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, between the evenings, is the Passover to יהוה.
(Lev 23:5 The Scriptures 1998+)‘And on the fifteenth day of this month is the Festival of Unleavened Bread to יהוה – seven days you eat unleavened bread.
(Lev 23:6 The Scriptures 1998+)If the New Moon day of the beginning of the months is Not determined correctly then All Appointed Times of YHWH with His people will be missed. Including the weekly Sabbath. The weekly Sabbath to YHWH can only be reckoned with on the Hebrew week of the Hebrew Luni-Solar Calendar ordained (appointed) by YHWH in creation. (Gen 1:14,16 Psa 104:19)
And Elohim said, “Let lights come to be in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night, and let them be for signs and appointed times, and for days and years,
(Gen 1:14 The Scriptures 1998+)And Elohim made(H6213 appointed; ordained) two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night, and the stars.
(Gen 1:16 The Scriptures 1998+)He made(H6213 appointed; ordained) the moon for appointed times; The sun knows its going down.
(Psa 104:19 The Scriptures 1998+)If Old Jerusalem (The Rabbis -- Scribes and Pharisees/Today: Leaders and Authorities of the Churches/Synogogues) had missed the first visitation of the Master Yahushua even though they have kept His Appointed Times, how much more we who have buried His Appointed Times with our so-called "Christian Calendar" because our leaders (Judaism and Christianity) have told us so?
Because "Christianity" had buried it with "Sunday Law" officially in 325 AD. And then covered it yet further in 1582 with the Gregorian Calendar. And still yet with many other false teachings. And time became its greatest ally.
And Judaism have buried it by compliance with the Roman rule in the 4th century AD, Hillel II fixed their calendar in order to stop the persecution of the Jews by the Romans.
and it speaks words against the Most High, and it wears out the set-apart ones of the Most High, and it intends(H5452) to change appointed times1 and law2, and they are given into its hand for a time and times and half a time.
Footnotes: 1: This is another word for festivals.
2: Changing the law amounts to lawlessness. Read in 2 Thess. 2:3-12 about “the lawless one” and the “lawlessness” which would take over (indeed, it has already taken over!) in the set-apart place, and also about Messiah’s judgment upon the lawless “prophets” in Mt. 7:23, and the lawless “believers” in Mt. 13:41! (Dan 7:25 The Scriptures 1998+)The Hebrew word translated "intends" above is: סבר sebar seb-ar' (Chaldee); a primitive root; means: to bear in mind, that is, hope: - think.. This is translated in KJV as think but also note that this is "thinking" out of hoping to change appointed times and laws. The calendars through all generations that tried to change the Almighty's appointed times and laws are the result.
But, Because the Sun, Moon and the Stars were ordained for Appointed Times of YHWH. No one can really change His Appointed Times. They can only "think" -- "hope" to change them by instituting their calendars. And because we have followed them they thought they have changed the calendar. But they were only given 1260 years to exercise their power.
They can only bury it with various versions of man-made calendars, and such were the case, for generations pasts. And the latest pile on top of all man-made calendars in the past is the Gregorian Calendar we use today.
The true calendar of YHWH will again be discovered and will be restored. The SDA church have discovered it in 1935 but they concealed it.
But it had already been restored since then by the faithful few. By people who have come out from various religious affiliations. Who were retracing the Hebrew Roots of their faith.
And Following the Lamb who is now unsealing the seven thunders of Revelation 10:4. And the calendar of YHWH is one major sign post in the restoration. Today it is getting known worldwide via the Internet. Forwarded by the people who are called out of any religious affiliation.
And His laws -- Torah and the Prophets cannot be changed as well, until everything that was written is fulfilled. (Mat 5:17,18) But of course we hear many Leaders (Scribes and Pharisees) today preached that the "Laws of Moses" are already abolished. And the "Laws of Moses" is in reality also what the Scriptures says is "the Word of YHWH".
But Yahushua warned us that, when we go back to the old paths, the yoke of Yahushua, the ancient paths, to retrace our roots from the beginning (Jer 6:16, Mat 11:29,30), false prophets would tell us this is the way or that (Mat 7:14, 24:11,24, Mar 13:22, Lk 6:26, 2Pe 2:1, 1Jn 4:1). So beware.
The next important reason of celebrating the Passover Feast to YHWH is We are reminded of: YHWH's promise to Abraham, the cutting of the covenant. We know Abraham is the father of Ishmael and Issac. Which the cutting of the covenant with Abraham was the Passover Type, which was done on the same day and night of the year; it was a direct prophecy of the exodus in Egypt. (Gen 15:9-16)
The Passover Type -- the sealing of the covenant reminds us that the promise of redemption and the plan of salvation is entirely dependent on El Shaddai (The Almighty Elohim) (Gen 15:17,18, Heb 6:13).
When YHWH sent His Son to the World (John 3:16), He demonstrated His faith in His Son, that He (Yahushua) would fulfill what He was instructed to do. Ponder for a moment, what if Yahushua did not drink the "Elijah Cup"? (Mat 26:39-42) Now, ponder for a moment as well, what if Yahushua had lack of faith on His Father that He would raise Him up from the dead?
The Father believed on His Son, the Son believed on His Father. Yahushua said that whoever believes on Him and the Father who sent Him possesses everlasting life. (John 3:15,16, 5:24) They have demonstrated that all mankind has to do is "believe" -- meaning -- step out in faith and obey His commands, just like what Abraham did.
The sealing of the covenant with Abraham was entirely dependent on El Shaddai. The Exodus in Egypt was entirely dependent on the mighty hand of El Shaddai. And Raising the Passover Lamb from the dead was entirely dependent on the will of El Shaddai. That whoever believes on Him and His Messiah might gain eternal life.
With that, as we celebrate the Passover Feast, Let us never forget this great truth that the plan of salvation is entirely dependent on El Shaddai and His Son, Yahushua HaMashiah (The Anointed).
Our participation of the Passover Seder is to immersed ourselves, our entire being -- our sense of smell, touch, hear, sight, hearing, and even the faculties of our mind, that we may grow in the faith of Yahushua HaMashiach, the Lamb of Elohim and the Father who sent Him.
The fifth reason of the importance of celebrating the Passover Feast to YHWH is The Exodus -- the popular Passover Story ever told from generations to generations.
Yahushua's desire to eat the Passover Supper/Meal with His taught ones/disciples (Luke 22:15),
And His desire to eat the Passover Meal with us -- His followers in the coming Kingdom (reign) of Elohim (Luke 22:16), which He will be seated on the right hand of Elohim.
We will also remember there are 600,000 Israelites on the Exodus in Egypt, not counting women and children, and not counting the Egyptians who where grafted in -- these are the mixed multitudes (Exo 12:38,48,49). The Rabbi's estimates over 3 million people.
Similarly the coming sealing of the 144,000 thousand would be a count of the number of Israelites who shall be sealed to be secured shortly before the Great Tribulation (the first six of the seven plagues), not counting the mixed multitudes that would be grafted into Israelites.
The commemoration of the Passover Feast, (I believe, for it is one of the instructions of Yahushua and the Word of YHWH), is one of the major acts and signs of YHWH that one could be grafted in Yahushua. Just like the mixed multitudes were grafted into the Israelites on the Exodus from Egypt.
This 144,000 thousand, (I believe), is the woman in Revelation 14:12 -- they are called "set-apart ones" because they "set themselves further apart" by following the Lamb (the truths unsealed by the Lamb and restored in our day) wherever He leads (Rev 14:4). To be "set-apart" is to follow the instructions given by YHWH, the instructions of how to "set-apart" (Lev 11:44,45).
This woman have children who where left behind, because they failed to follow the Lamb (because they did not yet recognized the restored truths in our day) wherever He leads, these are the left-behind's, called here the remnant (Rev 12:17).
Please note: I borrowed the term left behind from the "rapture" doctrines. Now, please note: the woman here is not yet raptured, because rapture will happen sometime shortly before the 7th plague is poured out, and the dead first will be resurrected and raptured, and then the living with them, and that is everybody -- the 144,000 thousand, and the remnant who endured to the end, with the resurrected in Messiah. So, again, instead, the 144,000 thousand is sealed to be secured from the Great Tribulation.
Now notice, both have the same characteristics (Rev 12:17, 14:12) they both guard the commands (intructions of) Yahushua, and have the testimony of Yahushua. Now, here is the difference: only the woman (the 144,000 thousand) is called "set-apart" -- because they follow the Lamb (the truths the Lamb unsealed and restored in our day.)
Both the woman (the 144,000 thousand) and the remnant of the woman will be sealed at the same time. One will be sealed to be secured from the Great Tribulation. The remnant will be sealed to be purified. (Please see: Who Are The Redeemed?)
What about those who do not have these characteristics of the woman and her remnant? The Passover Seder, in the later part, would remind us that they are those who did not eat the flesh and drink the blood of the Lamb.
The flesh is the Word of YHWH. The blood is the Ruach HaQodesh of YHWH. Yahushua's life is the Word of YHWH (flesh) and the Ruach HaQodesh of YHWH (blood). This is why Yahushua is called the Living Torah -- The Way, The Truth and The Life. Because before Yahushua came, the Hebrews knew the Way, the Truth, and the Life is the Torah of Moses -- the Word of YHWH.
Eating the "Afikomen" should therefore remind us that we should go back to the Torah of Moses (Mal 4:4), which is the Word of YHWH, which is also called the ancient paths (Jer 6:16), the yoke of Yahushua (Mat 11:29,30). YHWH and Yahushua also called it, My Commands (Gen 26:5, Exo 16:28, 20:6, Lev 22:31, 26:3...; Jn 14:15,21, 15:10).
The Ruach HaQodesh is the one who can give one understanding of the Word. And The Ruach HaQodesh is of the Father. And when one has understood it, one then must "set-apart" oneself by following/keeping/guarding what was understood. Otherwise, it would just be as if one did not have the oil. Because the Ruach HaQodesh would eventually leave one who having understood the instructions but disobeyed.
To eat and drink His flesh and blood (His life) means to seek the truths in the Word of YHWH, and to ask Him for His Ruach HaQodesh to gain understanding of the Word.
Do you know the difference between reading your Bible and Studying your Bible -- dividing the Word of Truth? Do you know the difference between hearing, listening and seeking? Do you know the difference between waiting, anxiety, confusion, and asking -- asking for the Ruach HaQodesh so we gain understanding?
For the Life of Yahushua is the Word of YHWH (flesh) and the Ruach HaQodesh of YHWH (blood).
Therefore, the foolish virgins who did not have the oil (the Ruach HaQodesh of YHWH), may have the Word of YHWH, but they were not able to keep and guard them because they did not understand the Word. They may have been told that the Word have been fulfilled/accomplished/completed/abolished already and they believed.
I have been blessed to have found some company of believers (where I am) following the narrow way. And they have tasked me to customized a Passover Seder fitting for Christians going back to their Hebrew Roots. Blazing The Fourth Way between Judaism, Messianic, Christianity, and Hebrew Roots movement.
I asked for guidance from above to help me with this. So that the message conveyed through the Seder is not coming from me, but out of the Scriptures. HalleluYah!
I am grateful to our Jewish and Messianic brothers who have kept the tradition up to our times, and have shared many "Haggadah's" -- (Passover Seder) on the Internet, freely. Therefore, I am sharing this "Haggadah" freely as well. Download it, and customized it. I titled it "Freedom To Liberty - A Passover Seder". It is customized for a congregation. Feel free to customized it for a family of one, of two or three as well.
