So Passover starts tonight, I wonder how many people who believe in Jesus( Yahshua) will be celebrating tonight. Yahsua is the Messiah of his people and the Savior to those of us grafted onto the branch. Jesus is the innocent lamb slaughtered for our sins. With the death of Yahshua the blood of the lamb was spilled so we could be deemed acceptable to the Father. The Passover is a representation and foreshadowing of our Saviors death, a death that saved us all, or at least all who accept him. Passover is when the Savior was put to death, it says so in Scripture.
In order to bring us a Savior the Father set up a situation where he had a control group, the chosen people, who could be conditioned to bring the worlds Blessing to us. The Father required certain conditions to bring about our Savior, not for Himself, but for us, so we would believe. The Old Covenant predicted and then produced our Savior. The New Covenant introduced us to our Savior and then predicts. Scripture when read, really, is an introduction to our Fathers character and make up. The Old and New Covenants go hand in hand, to teach otherwise is to deceive.
The Chosen people still practice Passover the way it is called out in the Old Covenant, that is where we as the grafted on come into play. We as believers have a specific job from the Father, our assignment from the Father is to show the Chosen people that the New Covenant IS in play, that there is a Savior and Messiah, to make them jealous for their Fathers love. By rejecting Passover for Easter we are not only not winning the Chosen people over, we are actually thumbing our nose at them and our Creator. Mystery religions are evil.
I am not condemning any particular religion, I personally condemn them all, they mislead and are chalked full of dogma and tradition. Tradition is what we are often warned about in Scripture. Even the Chosen people have gone astray choosing tradition over the Word. Just to emphasize, the root meaning of religion is "to bind", that is not what the Father is about, He is about freedom. The path to the Father is narrow and not well beaten, don't go with the flow. Sadly most people do go with the flow, right over the cliff with the rest of the lemmings.
The Father calls out seven Feasts/Festivals every year. They are very important to Him, they are times of celebration, reflection, rest, relationship, etc. If we are believers and believe in Scripture, we believe that Scripture is the character and personality of our Father, why would we ignore the very Feasts he calls out? Why would we replace them with obvious pagan worship? And then proclaim arrogantly that replacing the called out Feasts is exactly what we did out of tradition. Then we even teach our children this arrogant disobedience. Joshua( Yahshua) was sent into Canaan with directives from the Father, often to kill everything that breaths and then to burn the remnants. I talk to people who like to point out that violence is directed in Scripture, yes it is. The context to these directives is what most people don't know or understand. The people of Canaan believed in human blood sacrifice, something the Father hates and the adversary demands. We all know that if you leave one seed of evil, it will grow. I wonder how the Father feels about what we are showing and teaching our children today.
I am not condemning anyone for their beliefs, we are given freedom by the Father for a reason. Some of us will find the path, most will not, by choice. By choosing pagan feasts and festivals over the called out Feasts and Festivals we are openly making a choice, we are exercising our freedom and freedom of choice. Enjoy and exercise your freedom, Happy Passover.
