PESACHENU
Mashiach
“Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even CHRIST OUR PASSOVER is sacrificed for us.”
– I Corinthians 5:7
Rabbi Gamaliel’s Sage Wisdom The renowned sage Gamaliel, the rabbi of Sha’ul [Paul], said that we must recognize and discuss the three God-‐mandated elements. In addition to juice, Gamaliel is correct: matzah, maror, pesach.
Passover Is For The Church Preparation For Passover A Picture of Salvation The story of Passover has been told for over 3,000 years and it is the greatest illustration of man’s need of redemption from bondage. Yeshua is the redeemer and we are spiritually part of Israel, meaning this feast is for YOU!
We Are Commanded to Keep Passover “And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall keep it a feast to the Lord throughout your generations; ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance for ever.” –Ex. 12:14 “Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us: Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.” – I Corinthians 5:7-‐8 Yeshua’s Attitude Towards Passover
“And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer;” – Luke 22:15 “I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom.”
– Matthew 26:29
“Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, Concerning the feasts of the Lord, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my feasts.” – Lev. 23:2
Purging of Leaven From the Home All leaven is removed from the home, as it pictures sin and uncleanness. Even the children get to participate. They find crumbs of leaven and bring them to the father, who sweeps them into a wooden spoon and into the fire. The picture of eternal judgment of sins is there.
Setting the Table & The Elements The father is responsible for the table setup. The appropriate dishes and elements must be in place. There must be:
Matzah – unleavened bread
Fruit of the Vine – non-‐alcoholic red grape juice
Charoset – a sweet mix of nuts, apples, and cinnamon
The Zeroah – a lamb shank bone
Maror – the bitter herb; normally horseradish
Karpas – parsley
Salt Water – a bowl of salt water for dipping into
Egg – this crept in during the Babylonian captivity in connection with the goddess Ishtar.
Note: The Haggaddah guides the seder and table setup.
God’s Attitude Towards Passover
The Four Cups of Passover The Cup of Sanctification
The Lighting of the Candles Baruch Ata A lady recites a blessing and lights two candles. Baruch Attah Adonai, Eloheinu Melech Ha-‐olam, Asher Kid-‐shanu B’mitzvotav V’tzivanu L’hadlik Ner Shel Yom Tov.
Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the Universe, who
has sanctified us with His commandments and commanded us that kindle the Holiday lights.
The first candle is for the woman who brought Mashiach into the world and blessed the world.
The second candle is for the announced birth.
The Cup Blessing Everyone holds up their cup and recites the blessing and partakes.
Baruch Attah Adonai, Eloheinu Melech Ha-‐olam Boreh Pree Hagafen
Blessed are You, LORD our God, King of the Universe, who creates the fruit of the vine.
Dipping of the Karpas Everyone dips parsley in salt water and recites a blessing:
Baruch Attah Adonai, Eloheinu Melech Ha-‐alom Boreh Pree Ha’adamah
Blessed are You, LORD our God, King of the Universe, who creates the fruit of he earth
The Four Questions A child reads the four questions:
1. On all other nights we eat leavened or unleavened bread; on this night, why only unleavened bread?
2. On all other nights we eat all vegetables; on this night, why only the bitter herb?
3. On all other nights we do not dip our vegetables; on this night, why do we dip them twice?
4. On all other nights we eat sitting or reclining; on this night, why reclining?
ANSWER: We were slaves, but God delivered us and we commemorate it by removing the leaven, remembering the bitterness of bondage, dipping twice and reclining as free people.
EXODUS 6:6-‐7
The Cup of Sanctification “I will bring you” The Cup of Deliverance “I will rid you” The Cup of Redemption “I will redeem you” The Cup of Eliyahu / Praise “I will take you” “Wherefore say unto the children of Israel, I am the LORD, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will rid you out of their bondage, and I will redeem you with a stretched out arm, and with great judgments: And I will take you to me for a people, and I will be to you a God: and ye shall know that I am the LORD your God, which bringeth you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.” – Exodus 6:6-‐7
Telling of the Story:
Whether orally or by reading the Exodus account, the whole story of bondage and deliverance is recalled in detail. All tellings begin with the words “When we were slaves in Egypt.”
Hiding of the Affikommen Dipping In Maror and Charoset
A Picture of the Trinity
Three pieces of matzah are placed in a bag, representing the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The middle is removed, broken in half, wrapped in white linen and hid. Yeshua, the middle person of the Trinity, was broken, wrapped in white linen and buried.
A Picture of Yeshua The matzah is unleavened, signifying purity. It is burned, wounded, pierced, striped and breaks. “But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.” – Isaiah 53:5 “And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.” – Zechariah 12:10
The Matzah Blessing Baruch Atah Adonai, Eloheinu, Melech Ha-‐olam Hamotzi Lechem Min Ha-‐aretz. Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the Universe who brings forth bread from the earth.
The Bitter Herb: Maror All take matzah and dip in maror and eat.
This reminds us of the bitter bondage in Egypt and Christians can remember the bitterness of being lost in sin and under bondage to it.
The Sweet Mortar: Charoset All take matzah and dip in maror and charoset. This reminds us that God helped the Israelites make the mortar for work. We see that though sin was bitter, God turned it sweet as He redeemed us and brought us out of it.
Note: It was during this portion of the seder that Judas was revelaed as the betrayer and went to meet the Sanhedrin.
“And as they did eat, he said, Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me. And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one of them to say unto him, Lord, is it I? And he answered and said, He that dippeth his hand with me in the dish, the same shall betray me…Then Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said, Master, is it I? He said unto him, Thou hast said.” – Matthew 26:21-‐25
“Jesus answered, He it is, to whom I shall give a sop, when I have dipped it. And when he had dipped the sop, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon.” – John 13:26
The Cup of Deliverance Mystery of the Zeroah Dipping for the 10 Plagues All dip their pinky into the cup and drop juice on their plate to resemble blood for each of the 10 plagues.
1. Blood 6. Boils
2. Lice 7. Hail
3. Flies 8. Locusts
4. Cattle 9. Darkness
5. Disease 10. Firstborn
The Cup Blessing is recited and all partake of the cup.
Orthodox Jews then read Psalm 113 and 114.
Dayenu = “It is enough for us” If God had left us in Egypt…..
If God had not judged the Egyptians and their gods….
If God had not slain their firstborn…..
If God had not spoiled them…..
If God had not parted the sea for us…..
If God had not let us cross on dry ground…..
If God had not drowned the Egyptians…..
If God had not provided for us 40 years in the wilderness
IT IS ALL GRACE. ADONAI OWES US NOTHING!
The Death of a Spotless Lamb
The lamb was born on Nissan 1.
A lamb was to be taken into the home on Nissan 10.
A lamb was to be examined for three days for imperfections.
A lamb was to be killed on Nissan 14 in the evening.
A lamb’s blood was to be shed on the posts and lintel.
A lamb could not have a bone broken.
Yeshua was born on Nissan 1.
Yeshua entered the Temple on Nissan 10.
Yeshua was examined by the Sanhedrin, Annas, Caipahas, Pilot and Herod and none could find true fault in him.
Yeshua died on Nissan 14 in the evening.
Yeshua’s blood was shed on the posts and beam.
Yeshua was crucified without having his legs broken.
Isaiah Revealed the Mystery
700 years before Mashiac’s arrival, Isaiah revealed that Yeshua is the Zeroah. He is the one God chose to redeem humanity and conquer sin, death and hell.
“Who hath believed our report? And to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?” – Isaiah 53:1
“Who hath believed our report? And to whom is the Zeroah revealed? – Isaiah 53:1
The Cup of Redemption The Return of the Affikommen: His Body
1
The Affikommen is returned to the table, unwrapped, broken and distributed for all to eat. This practice had been place hundreds of years before Yeshua.
“And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and brake it and blessed it and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take eat; this is my body.” -‐ Matthew 26:26
Baruch Atah Adonai, Eloheinu, Melech Ha-‐olam Hamotzi Lechem Min Ha-‐aretz.
Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the Universe who brings forth bread from the earth. (Resurrection!)
Yeshua said he was the lechem chaiyim (Bread of Life).
He was born in Bet Lechem – “The House of Bread”.
His body was broken for us in a personal manner.
The Cup: His Blood Baruch Attah Adonai, Eloheinu Melech Ha-‐olam Boreh Pree Ha-‐ga-‐fen. Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the Universe, who creates the fruit of the vine. “And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom.” – Matthew 26:27-‐29

The Jewish Marriage Pictured The Proposal involved money, a contract and a cup. “For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.” – I Corinthians 6:20 The Gospel is our Contract: Read it. Accept the terms. The Cup is offered each of us; All partake of the cup. The groom then left to prepare a chuppah = bridal chamber. “In my Father's house are many chuppahs: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.”-‐ John 14:2 Only the father could determine when it was finished and the groom could go for his bride. “But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no not the angels in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.” – Mark 13:32 The bride was veiled in separation; her token of faith. The grooms came at night, with a shout and shofar sounding. “For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the [shofar] of God.”
-‐ I Thessalonians 4:16 The bride would return to the marriage supper and be hid from the world for one week and then revealed for all to see. During the Tribulation (one prophetic) week, the church is hid while she drinks the cup with Christ and then revealed with Yeshua’s Second Coming,
PASSOVER IS ETERNAL!
The Cup of Praise The Cup of Eliyahu An empty place has been set through the meal with a cup.
The Jewish people expect the return of the prophet Elijah.
Note: Malachi – “messenger of life”
“ Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord: And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.” – Malachi 4:5-‐6
Yeshua said Yochannan the Baptist came in Elijah’s spirit but that Elijah would come again and ignite revival in Israel.
Elijah is one of the witnesses in the Time of Yakov’s Trouble
Note: for further reading – Revelation 11:3-‐12
The youngest attendee opens the door welcoming Elijah should he come that night and welcomes the coming Kingdom of Mashiach.
All recite:
Eliyahu Hanavi, Eliyahu Hatishbi, Eliyahu Hagiladi; Bimheirah Yavo Eileinu Im Mashiach Ben David.
Elijah the Prophet, Elijah the Tishbite, Elijah the Gileadite; may he come speedily to us in our days along with Messiah the son of David.
The Cup Blessing is repeated.
All partake in faith of Mashiach’s coming to establish His Kingdom.
The Hallel – The Final Praise Psalm 118 was the hymn Yeshua and the disciples sang. All Recite: Psalm 118 It is a prophetic praise Psalm describing the coming events in Yeshua’s Gethsemane prayers, betrayal, arrest, trials, scourging, crucifixion, death, burial and resurrection. All Recite Lishana Ha-‐baah Bi-‐Yerushalyim NEXT YEAR IN JERUSALEM! As the Jewish people hope for Mashiach’s return and their time in the Kingdom, we look for His return and the possibility that next year we may celebrate Pesach in the New Jerusalem! AMEN AND AMEN. HALLELUJAH! Orthodox Jews then continue praising God and recounting the mighty deliverance of the Exodus “until sleep overtakes them.”
1. His name shall be Yochannan “John”
2. Ten plagues against Egyptian false gods
3. The “arm of the LORD” or the Zeroah
4. The Two Witnesses of Revelation
5. Why were Moses and Elijah at the Transfiguration?
6. The Prophetic & Messianic message of Psalm 118
7. The Feasts of God in Scripture
8. Did Caiphas preach the Gospel?
9. The Tallit of Yeshua.
Adonai = “the LORD”
Yahweh = the most personal name of God
Hashem = “the name” / used in place of “God” by Ultra-‐ Orthadox to avoid using His name in vain. Yeshua = “Yawheh’s salvation for us” / Jesus’ name
Mashiach = “Christ, anointed, the Messiah”
Pesach = “Passover / the Passover lamb”
Tallit = “little tabernacle” / prayer shawl
Shofar = “ram’s horn / trumpet”
Seder = “ritual meal”
Haggadah = “guide book”
Affikommen = “he who has come” / the middle matzah
Ishtar = the Babylonian goddess of fertility. During the Babylonian Captivity is when the egg crept onto the seder plate. It is from this goddess we get the word “Easter” and from which the tradition of hiding eggs comes. Hallel = “praise” / it is from this word we get the internationally understood Hebrew word “Hallelujah” which means “Praise the LORD!”
