The lamb was prepared between high noon and sunset on
Nissan 14th.
Numbers 9:1-5
CLV 1 Yahweh spoke
to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai in the second year of their
coming forth from the land of Egypt, in the first month,
saying. 2 The sons of
Israel shall observe the passover at its appointed
time. 3 On the
fourteenth day of this month, between the evening hours, you shall
observe it at its appointed time according to all its statutes, and
according to all its customs shall you prepare it. 4 Then Moses
spoke to the sons of Israel to observe the passover. 5 So they
observed the passover in the first month on the fourteenth day of
the month, between the evening hours, in the wilderness of Sinai.
According to all that Yahweh had instructed Moses, so did the sons
of Israel.
They ate the passover lamb at night. It was a
full moon lit night.
Exodus 12:2-11
KJV 2 This month
shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first
month of the year to you. 3 Speak ye unto
all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this
month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the
house of their fathers, a lamb for an house: 4 And if the
household be too little for the lamb, let him and his neighbor next
unto his house take it according to the number of the souls; every
man according to his eating shall make your count for the
lamb. 5 Your lamb
shall be without blemish, a male of the first year: ye shall take
it out from the sheep, or from the goats: 6 And ye shall
keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month: and the
whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the
evening. 7 And they
shall take of the blood, and strike it on the two side posts and on
the upper door post of the houses, wherein they shall eat
it. 8 And
they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire,
and unleavened bread; and with bitter herbs they shall eat
it. 9 Eat not of it
raw, nor sodden at all with water, but roast with fire; his head
with his legs, and with the purtenance thereof. 10 And ye
shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; and that which
remaineth of it until the morning ye shall burn with
fire. 11 And thus
shall ye eat it; with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet,
and your staff in your hand; and ye shall eat it in haste: it is
the LORD's passover.
Which Passover was Nissan 14th?
Matthew 26:17-19
ALT 17 Now on the
first [day] of the [Feast of] Unleavened Bread,
the disciples approached Jesus saying to Him, "Where do You
desire [that]we will prepare for You to eat the
Passover?" 18 So He
said, "Be going away into the city, to such a one, and say to him,
'The Teacher says, "My time is near; I am keeping the Passover with
you [fig., in your house], with My
disciples."'" 19 And the
disciples did as Jesus directed them and prepared the
Passover.
Luke 22:7-13
ALT 7 Then the day of
the [Feast of] Unleavened Bread came, in which it was
necessary [for] the Passover [or, Paschal
Lamb] to be sacrificed. 8 And He sent
Peter and John, saying, "Having gone, prepare the Passover for us,
so that we shall eat." 9 So they said to
Him, "Where do You desire [that] we will
prepare [it]?" 10 Then He said
to them, "Listen! When youp have entered into the city, a man
carrying a pitcher of water will meet youp; follow him into the
house which he enters. 11 "And
youp will say to the master [or, owner] of the
house, 'The Teacher says to you, "Where is the guest room, where I
shall eat the Passover with My disciples?'" 12 "And that one
will show to youp a large, upstairs room, having been
furnished. There prepare [it]." 13 Then
having gone away, they found [everything] just as He had
said to them, and they prepared the Passover.
Jesus ate the passover with his twelve Jewish
apostles.
Luke 22:14-20
ALT 14 And when the
hour came, He reclined [to eat], and the twelve apostles with
Him. 15 And He said
to them, "I desired with desire [fig., I earnestly
desired] to eat this Passover with
youp before I suffer. 16"For I say to
youp, no longer by any means shall I eat of it until
which [time] it shall be fulfilled in the kingdom of
God." 17 And having
taken a cup, having given thanks, He said, "Take this and
divide [it] among yourselves. 18 "For I say to
youp, by no means shall I drink of the fruit of the grapevine until
which [time] the kingdom of God comes." 19 And having
taken bread, having given thanks, He broke [it] and
gave [it] to them, saying, "This is My body,
the [one] being given on yourp behalf p; be
doing this in remembrance of Me." 20 And in
the same manner [He took] the cup
after [they] ate, saying, "This cup [is] the
New Covenant in My blood, the [blood] being poured out on
yourp behalf.
Jesus was already identified as the Lamb of
God.
John 1:29
THE WORD IS THE LAMB OF ELOHIM
ECB 29 On the
morrow Yahn sees Yah Shua coming to him, and words, Behold the Lamb
of Elohim, who takes away the sin of the cosmos!
Only the firstborn covered by the blood of The Lamb
could live. Eschaton Adam was about to become the new
firstborn.
Hebrews 11:28
JMNT 28 In faith,
by trust, with confident loyalty and for trustworthy allegiance, he
had performed (or: has created so that it now stands
as an institution) the Passover and the pouring of the
blood, so that the One presently destroying (the
Exterminator of) the first-born of people and animals
would (or: could) not touch or come in
contact with them.
Jesus covered the post and lintle of the cross with His
own blood.
Exodus 12:7
YLT 7 and they have
taken of the blood, and have put on the two side-posts, and on the
lintel over the houses in which they eat it.
Jewish believers were to carry their crosses outside
the soon-to-be-destroyed old covenant city. In the mean time the
Jews would have to suffer His shame of rejection by old covenant
unbelievers. The new city of God is now the true bride, which is
the church. Today we don't have to suffer that
shame and rejection for believing in the messiah; at least not by
our own covenant people, because only believers
are in the covenant now.
Hebrews 13:12-14 (Written to Jews)
ALT 12 And so
Jesus, so that He should sanctify the people
through [His] own blood, suffered outside the
gate. 13 So let us
be going out to Him outside the camp, bearing His
disgrace. 14 For we do
not have here a lasting city, but we are seeking the
coming [one].
So why does the bible
record show two Passover days?
The
first sighting of the new moon began the monthly
count.
Notification complications can
occur while waiting for the first witnesses to see the first sliver
of the new moon. They expect to get word of the first new moon
sighting 30 days after the last new moon. To avoid not treating the
proper day with reverence, the alleged Jews of today have made Rosh
Hashanah a two day holiday. Since Nissan is the other new year,
maybe they previously did the same for Passover. Due to common
sighting discrepancies or even regional division over new moons,
two days may have been made available for
Passover.
Did Yahwey honor the
Passover if it was a day off ? Hezekiah made a Passover
a month late because they couldn't keep the Nissan 14th Passover.
And Yahwey honored it.
2 Chronicles 30
KJV 1 And
Hezekiah sent to all Israel and Judah, and wrote letters also to
Ephraim and Manasseh, that they should come to the house of the
LORD at Jerusalem, to keep the passover unto the LORD God of
Israel. 2 For
the king had taken counsel, and his princes, and all the
congregation in Jerusalem, to
keep the
passover in the second month.3 For
they could not keep it at that time, because the priests had not
sanctified themselves sufficiently, neither had the people gathered
themselves together to Jerusalem.
13 And
there assembled at Jerusalem much people to keep the feast
of unleavened bread in the second month, a very great
congregation. 14 And
they arose and took away the altars that were in Jerusalem, and all
the altars for incense took they away, and cast them into the brook
Kidron. 15 Then
they killed the passover on the fourteenth day of the second month:
and the priests and the Levites were ashamed, and sanctified
themselves, and brought in the burnt offerings into the house of
the LORD. 16 And
they stood in their place after their manner, according to the law
of Moses the man of God: the priests sprinkled the blood, which
they received of the hand of the Levites. 17 For
there were many in the congregation that were not sanctified:
therefore the Levites had the charge of the killing of the
passovers for every one that was not clean, to sanctify them unto
the LORD.
22 And
Hezekiah spake comfortably unto all the Levites that taught the
good knowledge of the LORD: and they did eat throughout the feast
seven days, offering peace offerings, and making confession to the
LORD God of their fathers. 23 And
the whole assembly took counsel to keep other seven days:
and they kept other seven days with gladness. 24 For
Hezekiah king of Judah did give to the congregation a thousand
bullocks and seven thousand sheep; and the princes gave to the
congregation a thousand bullocks and ten thousand sheep: and a
great number of priests sanctified themselves. 25 And
all the congregation of Judah, with the priests and the Levites,
and all the congregation that came out of Israel, and the strangers
that came out of the land of Israel, and that dwelt in Judah,
rejoiced. 26 So
there was great joy in Jerusalem: for since the time of Solomon the
son of David king of Israel there was not the like in
Jerusalem. 27 Then
the priests the Levites arose and blessed the people: and their
voice was heard, and their prayer came up to his holy dwelling
place, even unto heaven.
Maybe Yeshua wanted to
celebrate the last old covenant Passover with his disciples before
He became the new covenant Passover; can you fault Him for that? He
put eschaton Adam to death. Adam was the firstborn. Those who clung
to the first-born covenant man while rejecting the blood of the
lamb (applied to the post and lintel outside the old city gate)
were put to death in AD 70. Eschaton Adam took their firstborn
falls and covered Himself. He lives in the new covenant
now.
Jews were called to deny their old self and leave their
homes in Jerusalem, and take their final atonement with them. The
second old covenant exodus was a call to claim the death of the
firstborn; eschaton Adam; the final Passover lamb of God. They were
to apply the blood to their post and leave the old covenant.
Matthew 16:25
LOSE THE SOUL TO FIND
THE SOUL
ECB 25 For whoever wills to save his soul, loses it:
and whoever loses his soul for my sake, finds it:
The twelve apostles took the gospel to the twelve
tribes first. The commissioned diaspora gave the world the new
covenant human.
Romans 6:6
JMNT 6 while
constantly knowing this by intimate experience, that our old,
former humanity is crucified together (or: was
simultaneously and jointly impaled and put to death on an execution
stake) with [Him], to the end that the body of the
Sin (the body belonging to the failure; the corporal
manifestation that pertains to the deviation; the group of people
[Adam] who missed the target) could and would be
rendered useless and inoperative (idled-down to be
unproductive; made null, inactive and unemployed), for
us to no longer continually be a slave to the
Sin (or: perform as a slave in the failure, for the
Sin, or by deviating and thus missing the goal),
Exodus 4:22-23
ECB 22 And you say
to Paroh, Thus says Yah Veh: Yisra El is my son - my
firstbirth: 23 and I say to
you, Send my son away, that he serve me: and if you refuse to send
him away, behold, I slaughter your son - your
firstbirth.
Luke 14:27 (Jesus said to the Jews in Jerusalem...)
27 and whoever
does not carry his
post, and come after me, is not able to be my
disciple.
Strong's:
σταυρός
- a
stake or post (as set upright), i.e. (specially), a pole or cross
(as an instrument of capital punishment); figuratively, exposure to
death, i.e. self-denial; by implication, the atonement of
Christ
-
Luke 24:18-27
KJV 18 And the one
of them, whose name was Cleopas, answering said unto him, Art thou
only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known the things which
are come to pass there in these days? 19 And he said
unto them, What things? And they said unto him, Concerning Jesus of
Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God
and all the people: 20 And how the
chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to
death, and have crucified him. 21 But we
trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed Israel: and
beside all this, to day is the third day since these things were
done. 22Yea, and certain
women also of our company made us astonished, which were early at
the sepulchre; 23 And when they
found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a
vision of angels, which said that he was alive. 24 And certain
of them which were with us went to the sepulchre, and found it even
so as the women had said: but him they saw not. 25 Then he said
unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the
prophets have spoken: 26 Ought not
Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his
glory? 27 And beginning
at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the
scriptures the things concerning himself.
One thing is for
certain, just as Jesus ate no lamb at His last old covenant
passover supper, nobody sacrifices a lamb for the passover anymore.
The new firstborn conquered the firstborn death through the blood
of eschaton Adam. Jesus is now the born-again firstborn who can
never die again. Fifty days after His resurrection, Israel was
resurrected to never die again. The twelve apostles and twelve
tribes quickly fulfilled their commission by taking the new
covenant gospel to the animals who were already being tamed and
pre-evangelized by the diaspora. Jew and Gentile were made to stand
as one body of believers before AD 70 removed the old covenant
harlot.
