Passover 2007 AD- Next Year in New Jerusalem!

The first Passover



Oh what memories Passover brings to my mind.
We used to go to Aunt Eves, and it was always
an elegant feast, with delicacies that were
unique to Passover: Gefilte fish and horse-radish,
matzo ball soup, and macaroons. Of course there
was lots of matzo.



The symbols of our ancestors' hard life in
Egypt, and our hard spiritual lives today,
as believers. Bitter herbs and eggs dipped
in salt water, representing the rivers of
tears we cry in bitterness, in this Christ-hating
world who hates us.



Christ's last supper was the Passover. The great
Apostle John, the Divine, sat at his right hand. As
the youngest Apostle, did he ask the questions?
As the final Prophet, he prophesied about our
exodus in the final days.




Christ held the unleavened bread, the matzoh, in
his hand and said, "This is my body." He took the
wine, and said, "This is my blood." The matzoh
was striped, for his stripes, through which we
are healed. The unleavened bread was to
represent that no sin was in him.


Dante Gabriel Rossetti. The Passover in the Holy Family:
Gathering Bitter Herbs.

Moses was a figure of what was to come in
the Messiah. Without Jesus Christ, there cannot
be another or different Messiah, because, the
Messiah had to be the direct ancestor of King David,
from the line of Judah. He is the Lamb Of God, whose
blood washes clean our sins.

Since the diaspora, nearly 2000 years ago, the
bloodlines of the tribes became indistinguishable.

The royal tribe of Judah, was incorporated,
and now there is no way to say that any Jew
is the Messiah, from the royal line of
King David. If they say that they are Judah,
they are not telling the truth. There is no
more Judah, only Jews, as one integrated
tribe.

When Christ was born to Mary, in Bethlehem,
the city of David, the pious people recognized
the event. Mary was the direct descendant
of the royal house of Judah, the offspring of
Nathan, David's son. Joseph, her betrothed,
was the ancestor of King Solomon, David's
son.



In the first Passover, the blood of the lamb
was painted on their door posts, so the Angel
of Death would pass them over, when the Egyptians
were struck with the final plague, the deaths of the
firstborn.

Similarly, The Blood of Christ is the sign of our
salvation, and death will pass over our homes,
as well, in much the same way.

All the symbols of Passover are repeated in the
last days. They are meaningful for us, in our
dispensation of hope.

Jesus, The Firstborn of God, The Firstborn of
the Dead, embodies the great exodus for us.

Regarding our world, and prophecy, the end days
plagues are categorized by seven cups of wrath,
which will begin after the snatching away, the
Rapture, which may accompany the arrival of New
Jerusalem. It parallels the first Exodus.

Whether it comes first, or after the Earth is
destroyed, I can see New Jerusalem, in my
mind's eye, described as a golden cube Star City,
arriving for all eyes to see. I guess you can compare
it to a humongous spaceship, only it's capacity is
in the billions.

Like the Israelites, delivered from
oppression, we will be taken out of a
world that hates us, symbolic of Egypt.
We will leave the world that hunts us,
and has not ceased to curse our existence.

There will be no more bitterness in this city.
There will be only joy and laughter in Christ's
Holy Presence.


Each year, it seems like the world slips further
into darkness and unholiness: Pornography,
slavery, violence against women and children,
God's word is banned and forbidden to billions,
the list of atrocities is endless. Man's inhumanity
towards his fellow man, greed, perversions,
diverse lusts, cruelty to animals, and injustice
frames the final cups of indignation. Iniquity
abounds, and it seems to multiply every year,
and get worse every day.

We long for our deliverance from a world gone
mad.

You have those who want save the world,
by making it more eco-friendly, and that's not
an evil thing, but, what good is calculating our
carbon debt to the planet, when we're facing
a nuclear holocaust in the Middle East? How
can anything be green again after nuclear
winter comes?

I can't believe my bitterness all week. I was
rereading my blog, and all I've done is spew,
vent and complain. I've been immersed in
negativity, with everything in the news
aggravating my state of mind. I just can't
handle the wickedness of Egypt.

Christ warned us of these days, and to be
ready. I would like to only focus on things
of beauty and peace, but, it's harder to do
each passing day.

I pray that God will forgive my negativity.
Still, it's hard not to be cynical and bitter
in this world. There's some unspeakably
evil things going on, and how can I ignore
them, when they stick to me, like needles
and pins?

My only hope is in Jesus, the Lamb of God,
whose flesh and blood is the New Testament.
He will lead with his staff, and we will be
delivered to the Promised Land.

On Passover, about 2007 years ago, the
Lamb of God defeated death, so that death
will passover us.

I pray next year: In New Jerusalem! ;)
