Being Jewish and yet a Christian, I wish my Jewish brothers and sisters could understand that the blood of the Lamb that we put on the doorposts, because we were faithful to the voice of Hashem …was the foreshadowing of what Jesus would one day come to do for us.
Yes, the blood of the "Passover lamb" saved the lives of the firstborn, because the angel passed over homes in Egypt that had its blood on the two doorposts and above the door on Abib 14 (Ex 12:2-7; Abib, meaning "green ears"), while killing the firstborn of any home, including animals, that did not have it splashed on the doorposts and door (Ex 12:29, 30), so that its blood pictures Jesus shed blood on the stake, and whereby the apostle Paul said at 1 Corinthians 5:7: "For, indeed, Christ our Passover lamb has been sacrificed" on Nisan 14, 33 C.E. But it need be pointed out that so many who profess to be Christian fail to grasp Jesus words at John 3:16-18: "For God loved the world so much that he gave his only-begotten Son (showing Jesus as NOT God), so that everyone exercising faith ("exercising faith", Greek pisteuo eis, meaning "faith in motion" and not just "believing") in him might not be destroyed ("destroyed", Greek apollumi, meaning "to destroy fully", also showing that there is NO "hellfire", for when a person is destroyed, they cease to exist) but have everlasting life." "For God did not send ("send", Greek apostello, meaning "to send out on a mission") his Son into the world for him to judge the world, but for the world to be saved through him. Whoever exercises faith (or has "works of faith") in him is not to be judged. Whoever does not exercise faith (or does not have "works of faith", see James 2:18-26) has been judged already, because he has not exercised faith in the name of the only-begotten Son of God." So, only those who "exercise faith" in Jesus sacrificial blood, by having "works of faith", such as doing as Jesus stated at Matthew 28:19, 20, to "go and make disciples", to make known "the good news of the Kingdom" at Matthew 24:14, to show agape love and be "NO PART of the world", with its divisive and hateful politics at John 15:17-19. These must have "stripped off the old personality with its practices" and then put on "the new personality" that imitates God, whose name is Jehovah (YHWH, transliterated as Yahweh, from the ancient Hebrew יהוה), at Colossians 3:9, 10. These must do as Jesus told the Pharisees at Matthew 22:37-40, that "you must love Jehovah your God with your whole heart and with your whole soul and with your whole mind.’ This is the greatest and first commandment (at Deut 6:5). The second (at Lev 19:18), like it, is this: ‘You must love your neighbor as yourself.’ On these two commandments the whole Law hangs, and the Prophets". It is only these that Jesus shed blood cover their sins.(see 1 John 1:7)
When you say Jewish, are you referring to a secular Jew family or a Jews for Judaism family? If you read the Hebrew Bible carefully, you would know that the Passover lamb/goat was not a sacrifice nor has any relationship to wiping out sins. The Israelites were instructed to kill and roast the lamb or goat whole before leaving Egypt. Like the previous 9 plagues, the 10th plague was also a challenge to Egyptian gods. The god that is associated with the last plague, Khnum, has a lamb head and human body, and was responsible for creating human beings. The ten gods were: Hapi, Heket, Geb, Khepri, Hathor, Isis, Nut, Seth, Ra, Khnum. The Israelites were instructed to kill and roast the lamb/goat so the Egyptians would smell it and be devastated that their gods were in big trouble. The Passover Lamb is a symbol of Egyptian idol, and everyone in Judaism know this. Just ask any Rabbi. I wonder if Paul, who is responsible for the majority of the New Testament, was really a Jew. Why would he make such a grave mistake of equating Passover Lamb to any type of sin offering? Equating Jesus with the Passover Lamb is essentially equating Jesus to an Egyptian idol. Really don't understand why Paul said such a thing. Besides, there are no such thing as sacrifice that can wipe out all sins, not even the goats offered during Yom Kippur for that matter. Any of the sacrifices related to sin offerings in the OT are only good for canceling out "unintentional sins." King David didn't offer any sacrifice for his intentional sins, and he was forgiven because he repented. If Christians don't know the true meaning of Passover, does it really matter if they celebrate Passover? Passover is for the Jews and their descendants, people who signed the covenant with the God of Israel. I am not a Jew, but I can appreciate their history and rich culture. But for Christians, why twist the story of the Passover, the function of Passover Lamb/goat, and insert Jesus into the mix. Twisting the Jew's story of Passover seems disrespectful to me.
Drawing the connection between the blood of the Passover lamb/goat with Jesus doesn't make logical sense. So, Jesus's blood would only cover the lives of the first-borns? The other people will live regardless of whether there were blood on the doorposts. That foreshadow analogy is not convincing to me. I am not a Jew, but I wish Jews who believe in Jesus would realize that they are betraying their own people and destroying a rich history and culture. The NT is an anti semitic propaganda, even a non Jew like me when reading it has to cringe, especially chapters like Matt 23. Think of King David, he was forgiven because he repented, that's what the Hebrew Bible instruct about salvation, it's repentance, not someone dying for others. The God of Israel hates human sacrifice so Hashem won't device such a plan to go against himself. The God of Israel hates adultery, so he wouldn't let someone's wife give birth to his child, that's just against his own principle. For Jews who don't understand their own Hebrew Bible, I recommend Rabbi Tovia Singer and Jews for Judaism. There are plenty of resources that will guide Jews to understand how the Hebrew Bible is the complete Bible for the Jews, and that there are so many inconsistencies in the NT that actually go directly against Hasham.
Please, brother, shepherd your flock in the truth now that you know it. And please make sure you’re filtering the traditions of men that have been passed down from generation to generation and through Bible colleges out of your teaching. 💗🙏🏻
I'm not a Preacher today I stumbled across "this" in Bible study today & was absolutely stunned. Then up pops this video tonight. I praise your humility and your courage to Shepherd your Flock away from cute bunnies, chicks & chocolate....most importantly the altering of True Worship (time) to worldly conveniences and false idols. God Bless You
I actually found out last year by researching the roots of the diabolical Roman Catholic Church . The reason for my research i believe the Lord led me to witness to catholics so i needed to know what the Roman Catholicism Doctrines and the whole catholic belief system is and what it entails. First about Christmas the date was set by Rome also after a pagan Idol and has nothing to do with Jesus birth . I also found out about Pagan Easter so this video just explained in detail what happen and validated my own research . A former catholic priest Now Born Again told me that the Roman Catholic Church (Cult like ) is Satan's Masterpiece to deceive all the Nations and sad to say he succeeded . Almost all in the Christian realm are deceived to this very day .
This man in this video is deceitful. He hardly told any full truths during this video. It’s insane and disgusting to use the lords name to spread lies about the lord and the Bible
I agree that it is time for the truth! A lot of us do not know because this is what we are taught for generations now. But I have always felt like it was not right, especially as I get older.
You are speaking my language and confirming my understanding of the truths taught by Jesus and revealed plainly within the pages of God's Holy Word. Thank you.
I really like this presentation, it does not come to accuse the Easter tradition keepers, but to teach what the Word actually says and pose the question to the Christian to test for themselves.
Good on you! You will absolutely find more depth and meaning by keeping days in the Bible rather than days (and traditions) that are not in the Bible. The same is true of all the Feasts of the LORD (Lev. 23). They are all about Him, and contrary to the popular view, we learn more about our Messiah by doing the things He did, walking the walk He did, keeping these days that He kept.
Wish I saw this video to share before Easter. I made a stand this year to stop participating in Easter at my church and start observing Shabbat being a member of the worship team. YAH be praised
Shabbat is held from Friday around sunset to Saturday around sunset. What day do you go to the church on and how do you travel to church. If you drive a car, most cars require a spark that ignites with the fuel so that the car may run. To kindle a fire on Shabbat is to not keep the Shabbat. Sometimes, there are holy days and high days. These sometimes come with two Shabbots in the same week.
a car is not your dwelling. Also the sentence in scripture right before what u describe gives the context and that is work. Does everyone sit in the dark, did moses sit in the dark every fri-sat
Thanks Phil.i was never much into Easter and Chistmas as a child or even as an adult. I suppose the LORD was preserving me to gain understanding on these topics. We ought follow GOD rather than man... very true!
This knowledge has been known and observed in the Church of God since Christ raised it up in 31 AD. The 7 Holy Days that follow Passover are also commanded to be kept by God’s Church as well.
I broke bread with my brothers and sisters for the first time in my life this week. I thank the Most High for my awakening and the chance to partake in such a blessing as this. Do not turn to the right or left.
Ya, but sometimes ya gotta STOP at a red light, and re-evaluate your location. The Bathroom is down the hall and to the right! The kitchen is straight ahead!
Thank you all at Life, Hope & Truth for these powerful, Biblical truths! You make explaining the Bible so simple and easy that even a child CAN understand it. The only ones who can't or won't, are either "holding fast to the traditions of men" or "are carnal minded and at enmity with God" or either didn't know or don't want to know. God bless you all!
Phil this was very well done! I reached out via email to a local church pastor to encourage him to at least start teaching about Passover. Churches didn’t get in this mess overnight and it will take time to transition out. Never got a reply but I was faithful to share. Have been observing Passover and His feasts for 10 years. These are our wedding rehearsals preparing us for His return. He moves and acts according to His appointed times. This will be a great video to share. Many thanks and Praise Yah! I conduct a Zoom Passover gathering and ‘Night of Watches’ every year when I don’t have access to a fellowship. Shalom
My name is Zurina and I have just watched this video. For the past 4 years I've known Passover vs Easter to be true and have found opposition when sharing the true meaning. How do you celebrate Passover ... do you break unleavened bread and drink a cup of red wine?
@@zurinafebruary9931 Hi Zurina, like Phil shared I observe Passover on the 14th day of the biblical calendar. I use the Covenant Calendar and this year Passover falls on April 2nd on the Gregorian calendar. To observe Passover, one should pray, praise Him, read Scripture, and read the gospel of how He instructed us to observe Passover in remembrance of Him with bread and wine or grape juice, representing His body and blood, then observe the priestly act of foot washing by removing our sandals and choosing to walk in His ways not ours. (1Peter 2:9-10). Though there are differing thoughts on whether to use unleavened or not, in the Gospels, the bread is defined as ‘Artos’ in Greek meaning ‘raised loaf’ with the New Covenant. Then from the 15th-21st of the 1st month of Abib we observe the 7 days of Unleavened Bread. I have more information on my website at this link. www.thelibbylink.com/spring-feast Yahusha (Jesus of Nazareth) doesn’t expect us to be perfect, He just expects us to do the best we can in our sanctification process. Blessings to you on your journey with our Groom.
@zurinafebruary9931 Zurina, this is the calendar I use: torah.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/22134511/Replace_T4-2024-CALENDAR.pdf
Thank you very much... For the last two to three-years i have been learning so much different from what the Churches has been Teaching...Thank God for you Guys...Keep it coming... GOD BLESS!
Thank you brother for giving us this very detailed explanation of this very daring change given by Christianity. We live in a time within the church of much change and it is good to maintain the faith that was once given to the saints.
Amen my brother....it's been 3years now that my family n I celebrate Passover...wat a joy n peace to do it God's way ...my favourite verse Acts 5 Vs 29 we ought to obey God rather than man...Amen...we pray that others may find the truth .. thank you brother continue to spread the pure gospel...
I absolutely love the way you addressed this issue. I agree with you on this, I also did research and found the same prior to this video. I truly enjoyed you presenting it the way you did. God bless
I find your arguments excellent, you have convinced me. Grounded in scripture & history. I also found 1 Cor. 5:7-8 which specifically mentions keeping the festival
I'm still learning so forgive my ignorance but what about the celebration of Esther? It is not written to celebrate what she did to save the Jews but yet this celebration was adopted. Am I reaching? I guess the difference is the origin. Esther is NOT rooted in pagan gods but "Easter" aka Resurrection is unfortunately associated with it. Hears a question, although it wasn't commanded as an annual feast, what if Jesus Resurrection was connected on purpose so that believers won't commemorate the importance of his death ie just like the unbiblical celebration of Esther. This just a thought, a question...Thank you for reading. y@@alexandrasmith4393
@@BIBLESnapshotsChallenge you're not reaching. I believe someone else was reaching and you learned it from them. Esther is Ishtar but name only because if you read the book of Esther, her uncle tells her to adopt a name of the locals which was Ishtar because Babylon had been conquered by Persia. Her original name is Hadaasah but it could have been Ashter-oth too, either way the celebration is implied by the pagan church of Catholicism that's why it's not following the original timing of it, which has passed already but instead plunks it down on Sunday. Sunday is their day for everything special. Ashter-oth or Ishtar is the same name but oth means mark or basically oath or promise. NOTHING, I MEAN NOTHING that comes from the modern church is safe. You have to study and weigh it all to find the truth. There are two types of people. People who pray to learn the truth and gain the trust and patience of the Father like the Son or people who want to stick with their comfortable beliefs because it makes their life easier and simple. It's either in the Word or it's not but also has the Word you use been tampered with? How do you know or at least gain confidence in it? Good luck my friend, you'll need it. It's hard because "the world" will give you what you want but to be like commanded or follow the Son is hard.
@@BIBLESnapshotsChallengeI can tell you are sincere by the wording but the whole ending seems manufactured or forced and what I mean is you're proposing that it's all connected because of Esther saving her people(which she didn't completely save them but gave them opportunity to fight for their lives then leave or stay) and resurrection but what if 'God' meant for it to be a sign or connection. Which reaching as you said...
What does Pascha mean? It's a Greek transliteration of Pesach which means to pass over or skip or jump.. what does 'Jesus' mean? All words mean something in the bible or they used to before they became transliterations into English or whatever language. Shouldn't that be important?
The same with the changing of Sabbath Observance to Sunday observance. It was humans who decided that Sunday be observed instead of the day that God told us to "remember".
I came to the truth about Easter about 5 years ago. I now celebrate Passover. Most of my grown children continue to celebrate Easter. They don’t want to hear the truth! My eyes are wide open. I will NEVER go back to Pegan Easter. I praise my Father for opening my eyes 🙏🙌🙏
Thank you, brother, for clearly and concisely nailing home the absolute TRUTH by using only scripture and early church fathers. If one cannot clearly see the Truth now, one has NO excuse for an answer on the great and terrible Day of the LORD!!
Bless you for being willing to stand on truth. I have told my loved ones this for a while now. They won't listen to me. Perhaps they will take it better from someone else.
Thank you for teaching this subject. Unfortunately, most churches don't care. My family stopped participating Easter and Christmas since 2008. Walk with the Lord and obey His commandments not man-made pagan holidays. Fear the Lord is the beginning of knowledge. God bless your ministry.
This is the best summary of Passover not Easter. We've celebrated it in our church for years but the explanation never really hit home with many this one does this is very thorough which I can spread through whomever asked me why I don't celebrate Easter.❤
This is more confirmation to leave the secular holidays an honor the sabbath that is not Sunday. Why did they say the way is narrow if it wasn't Thankyou
@baberoot1998 Today march thirty first is easter. The supposed resurrection day. April 22nd is the 1st day of Passover. Passover was the crucifixion day. After Passover on April 28th comes the feast of first fruits. The true resurrection day. So how do you celebrate the resurrection? Three weeks before the crucifixion?
I also think what we call good Friday and Sunday as the resurrection day are wrong. Jesus says he will be in the earth 3 days and 3 nights before he is resurrected. From Friday evening to Sunday morning doesn't add up to 3 full days and 3 full nights.
I heard the scripture in my spirit yesterday 29 March. Do not learn the way of the heathen. Correct. Jesus died on Wednesday. Wednesday to Saturday ( Sabbath).
Praise God for the Spirit of Truth 🙏🕊🍇 Luk 22:15-16 KJV And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer: 16. For I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.
Easter is a Pagan Holiday. Easter was originally a celebration of Eostre, goddess of Spring, otherwise known as Ostara, Austra, and Eastre. One of the most revered aspects of Ostara for both ancient and modern observers is a spirit of renewal.Celebrated at Spring Equinox on March 21, Ostara marks the day when light is equal to darkness, and will continue to grow. As the bringer of light after a long dark winter, the goddess was often depicted with the hare, an animal that represents the arrival of spring as well as the fertility of the season.
Yep, Ishtar / Easter is a sun god festival. Does anyone know the real Easter story? It goes like this. Semiramis wife of Nimrod died and went to heaven. She became impregnated with the rays of the sun and returned to earth in a giant egg which landed in the Euphrates river and burst open. Out came Easter or Ishtar the bare breasted sex goddess of fertility. To prove her divinity she turned a bird into an egg laying rabbit. Semiramis now called Easter, her son's name was Tammuz. Remember, Semiramis was impregnated with the rays of the sun. Tammuz can be found in the Bible in Ezekiel 8:16-18. Kind of sounds like an Easter sun rise service today to me. Israel picked up this pagan sun God worship while in the Babylonian captivity.
In the Last Days, I see Satan behind the merging of Christianity & Islam, into Chrislam, to persecute Israel & all Jews. That won't be a big step for the Catholic Church, being that they have already twisted so many of the early church's knowledge and understanding.
@@justathoughtherestart researching these false gods of old, it’ll take some time but it is there. Estore I believe was the German version. These feminine deity’s are referred to as the queen of heaven in the Bible.
I read through most of these comments. This was a subject that concerned me. I saw many pros and cons on calling the Resurrection, Easter. And when it occurred. I’ve been a Christian ever since I could remember. I always celebrated Easter and even as a child I always focused on Jesus’ death and resurrection for the forgiveness of our sins. Calling it Easter never changed my faith. But recently I’ve been calling it Resurrection Day. Seeing the controversy on this subject gave me a feeling of being torn. This is none other than a stumbling block created by Satan to distract us from the truth. I believe that God would want us to focus on what Jesus did for us on the cross. And celebrating our Christian holidays has made many souls aware of our Christian beliefs and brought them to Christ our savior. Don’t let anything distract you from what is the most important. Jesus our messiah.
I agree about it being an opportunity to witness to non-believers. People are generally more willing to go to church at Christmas and Easter, so it's a good time to reach out to them. However, I would say that the Passover DOES celebrate Jesus' death and resurrection, because Jesus was the ultimate Passover lamb. Just as the Hebrews' first born sons were redeemed by the blood of the lamb, so we are redeemed by the blood of the Lamb 😊
Life, Hope and Truth... Thank you for sharing the truth with us today! Mark 7:7 and 8 - 7They worship Me in vain; they teach as doctrine the precepts of men.’ 8You have disregarded the commandment of God to keep the tradition of men.” 9He went on to say, “You neatly set aside the command of God to maintain your own tradition. To the folks who claim that Passover is only for "Israel"! Once you accept Yeshua as Messiah you are "Grafted IN" to Israel. (Romans 11) And you are no longer a foreigner, of the nations or a gentile, but a citizen of Israel. (Ephesians 2:19 and 1 Corinthians 12:2) There is NO SUCH THING as a Jewish or Gentile "Christian". (Galatians 3:26 through 29 and Galatians 3:7)
The church is following the missteps Israel made and not aware: The people draw near Me with their mouth and with their lips do honor Me but have removed their heart from Me and their fear toward me is taught by the commandment of men: Isaiah 29:13 The resurrection of Christ is April 25, 2024 the 17th of Nissan, Passover is the 14th of Nissan, April 22, 2024, if you must celebrate it is not BIBLICALLY required. It will not always be on an Sunday, I have convince a few this year that the Catholic church Easter is more outrageous this year than the previous years since His resurrection is celebrated before His actual date of death, but Gods word cannot penetrate the teaching of man. Millions including Pastors will WRONGLY convince their congregations that March 31st is day Christ resurrection took place almost 2000 years ago: The anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: 1st John 2:27
It's a sobering thought to realize that we have inherited nothing but lies from our forefathers. Jeremiah 16:19 This is the first year that I have not made preparations for celebrating Easter or holy week. The first year we will remember/observe Passover on the correct time. Since my one and only son died in 2022 I have been on a journey for Truth and understanding. Yehovah is so merciful and great. In 2022 I was asking him why? Why did you allow my son to die? Why couldn't you help us? Why didn't you answer my prayer ,my supplication? Before his death my sons last words were: Mom, please tell the people we are not dead. 3x I was confused and at the same time the realization hit me that my son was dying. I was not going to church. I had stopped years ago. I was sad at what was happening in the church and felt that it made no sense or brought no happiness to be a follower. Probably God didn't exist or even Jesus? Actually what I felt was that they were real just that religion wasn't real or the Truth. My church wasn't upholding the Truth. So by the time my son died it hit me so hard that it forced me to really take a look at what I was believing in. His last words were not in line with what I had been taught. When we die we don't go anywhere but to the grave. Adventists don't believe in the believers soul going to the presence of Jesus. Both body and soul sleep. The truth is I wasn't worried about my son having died per se. But more because I had not taught my son the church's beliefs. When he was 12 he had asked to be baptized and I had said : "no, you must wait till your a mature enough person." I didn't want him to join the church by an impression due to his young age like I had. When your 18 which legally is an adult and you firmly make that decision then you can do it and I'll support you. Not be baptized just because schoolteacher is having a week of revival teaching. So the biggest and heaviest question on my heart was, what did I do!? Was my son saved? My beliefs is that you have to be baptized yes or yes in order to be saved. He believed in Jesus but was not baptized. It wasn't these questions that got my attention to realize that I believed in traditions of men as the Bible says. It was a bold statement made in a post on FB of A RoodWakening taught by Michael Rood. The COP 27 was just taking place in November of the year 2022 and just a few days after my sons death. The activities included the presentation of the ' ten commandments of climatic change' on Mount Sinai. I didn't care about anything of the like , infact I wasn't aware what was going on. My pastime was Face book or playing games , watching videos on UA-cam not looking at world stuff or at preachers preaching in my spare time. So when this post showed up on my feed, I was caught by the statement " they are imitating Moises" presentation of the 10 commandments and going up the "false Mount Sinai". I immediately commented that they were saying nonsense! Mount Sinai can't be a false mountain since that's where Moises got the 10 commandments. Then they gave me an explanation and asked to visit UA-cam and find Micheal Roods videos. From there it has been one thing to the next! Blasphemy on their part to say that Jesus name is rightfully Yeshua. Nonsense that the Bible says that Jesus didn't die on Friday. And this about Easter not being Passover as instituteed by Yehovah??!!! My church has taught for decades upon decades about the last supper and celebrate at Easter time. Even if it's different ritual than the Catholic church but it's just like every other protestant church observes in the season of Easter. I lost my Faith in my church and found my Messiah and God! That's all that matters to me now. Without realizing it the day my son died on November 1st , the moment I plead with God to please help my son and I. He was quick to answer my prayer. My family and I needed him the most. Yehovah reveals the truth of himself to those who he chooses. Every day is strengthening what I have learned. Now my free time is more for the word of God and less for worldly stuff on FB and UA-cam. The amount of biblical truths content found here on UA-cam is huge. When Yeshua returns how can one say I didn't know? Shalom
@@ednadiaz4193 Last Supper and Passover are the same. Gentiles call it the Last Supper which is the truth: Before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that His hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto His Father: John 13:1 Passover is the death of Christ, the so called Easter represent the resurrection of Christ two different events. The church separates the resurrection from Christ death (Passover), why? Don't know no one has an answer. I guess because Israel had feast days under the old covenant, the church feels that they need to make up religious celebrations like the old covenant.
@@deborahnew4914 the answer as to why they separate or don't celebrate it in the time Israel celebrate Passover is just as this video says. They incorporated the pagan feast and made it blend with the gospel. Bunnies and eggs are not of Yeshua nor remotely connected to his sacrifice. We can't continue ignoring the Truth of how it started. Blessings sister! Shabbat shalom from Belize.
@@ednadiaz4193 Easter bunny did not exist until the 1700"s. Does not explain why resurrection day change yearly. The catholic church and their made-up celebrations which the protestant church also continue to practice. started in 326AD long before the bunny came along. True the religion celebrations are tied into the Pagen traditions. Passover do not need to be celebrated unless you are a tribe of Israel. The church celebrates the resurrection, of Christ which, is three days after Passover, which the Christan world ignores, also do not need to be celebrated all religious holidays are traditions. But, if you want to at least do it on the proper day. I wonder what Christ and His Father is thinking tomorrow, when the celebration for Christ resurrection is being celebrated on the wrong day., but I remember Isaiah 55:8-9. Blessings to you
I started fasting for other believers will see we are all part of Israel. We are grafted into the common wealth of Israel. I know now and changed . Thank you Abba
It is a curious fact that in many European languages Easter still keeps its Passover identity e.g. Pacqua in Italian or Pasen in Dutch, but English uses a totally different word Easter. Like you I lament that lack of any linkage between Passover and Easter in many Christians minds and experience. However Passover is a memorial of God's deliverance from slavery in Egypt by the blood of a lamb - a once for all event remembered every year. Jesus instituted the Lord's Supper during a Passover meal. This is what we celebrate every time we share the Lord's Supper - a once for all event continuously remembered. Easter, however, is a celebration of the Lord's resurrection, the feast of Firstfruits. The early church gathered on the first day of the week to remember the Lord's resurrection. The real split from Passover came when Easter was fixed as the first full moon after the equinox, rather than the solely lunar Jewish calendar, which in 2024 means that Easter and Passover are almost a month apart.. John
Passover 2024 will begin on Monday, April 22 at sundown and end on Tuesday, April 30 at sundown.2 The date in the English calendar changes each year, but the holiday always falls on the 15th day of the Hebrew month of Nissan through the 22nd. This includes the Feast of Unleavened bread. It may seem complicated and overwhelming to some at first, but there are many good resources on the web. As a Christian, I recommend a Messianic viewpoint rather than Rabbinical. Lion and Lamb Ministries is a good source for info.@@timhodgins6031
Christ is Risen! The difference between the solar and the lunar calendar is the difference for the date of Passover and Easter. Look up reason and theology’s video of “do we celebrate Easter on the wrong day” or something to this effect. You run the risk of dishonoring the lord by not reveling in his day of resurrection, whether that be Easter or Sunday. The incarnate God was made flesh for us and calls us to gnaw of his flesh and drink of his blood, and on that very day 3,000 left him. It is said in the gospel that this would be a stumbling block for those who cannot accept his revelation. You who lack this lack the fullness of his divine institution, the inheritance of his divine church and order. Work out your salvation through fear and trembling. The awesome God is upon us, rejoice in his resurrection. Do not fall prey to the Judaizers as warned in Acts. May our incarnate God be with all of you on this glorious day of Resurrection.
This subject along with others like it is discussed in the book Sabbath to Sukkot which is, at least in my opinion, the best single volume on the biblical holidays.
Being Jewish and yet a Christian, I wish my Jewish brothers and sisters could understand that the blood of the Lamb that we put on the doorposts, because we were faithful to the voice of Hashem …was the foreshadowing of what Jesus would one day come to do for us.
Yes, the blood of the "Passover lamb" saved the lives of the firstborn, because the angel passed over homes in Egypt that had its blood on the two doorposts and above the door on Abib 14 (Ex 12:2-7; Abib, meaning "green ears"), while killing the firstborn of any home, including animals, that did not have it splashed on the doorposts and door (Ex 12:29, 30), so that its blood pictures Jesus shed blood on the stake, and whereby the apostle Paul said at 1 Corinthians 5:7: "For, indeed, Christ our Passover lamb has been sacrificed" on Nisan 14, 33 C.E.
But it need be pointed out that so many who profess to be Christian fail to grasp Jesus words at John 3:16-18: "For God loved the world so much that he gave his only-begotten Son (showing Jesus as NOT God), so that everyone exercising faith ("exercising faith", Greek pisteuo eis, meaning "faith in motion" and not just "believing") in him might not be destroyed ("destroyed", Greek apollumi, meaning "to destroy fully", also showing that there is NO "hellfire", for when a person is destroyed, they cease to exist) but have everlasting life."
"For God did not send ("send", Greek apostello, meaning "to send out on a mission") his Son into the world for him to judge the world, but for the world to be saved through him. Whoever exercises faith (or has "works of faith") in him is not to be judged. Whoever does not exercise faith (or does not have "works of faith", see James 2:18-26) has been judged already, because he has not exercised faith in the name of the only-begotten Son of God."
So, only those who "exercise faith" in Jesus sacrificial blood, by having "works of faith", such as doing as Jesus stated at Matthew 28:19, 20, to "go and make disciples", to make known "the good news of the Kingdom" at Matthew 24:14, to show agape love and be "NO PART of the world", with its divisive and hateful politics at John 15:17-19.
These must have "stripped off the old personality with its practices" and then put on "the new personality" that imitates God, whose name is Jehovah (YHWH, transliterated as Yahweh, from the ancient Hebrew יהוה), at Colossians 3:9, 10.
These must do as Jesus told the Pharisees at Matthew 22:37-40, that "you must love Jehovah your God with your whole heart and with your whole soul and with your whole mind.’ This is the greatest and first commandment (at Deut 6:5). The second (at Lev 19:18), like it, is this: ‘You must love your neighbor as yourself.’ On these two commandments the whole Law hangs, and the Prophets". It is only these that Jesus shed blood cover their sins.(see 1 John 1:7)
Passover is an eternal command.
When you say Jewish, are you referring to a secular Jew family or a Jews for Judaism family?
If you read the Hebrew Bible carefully, you would know that the Passover lamb/goat was not a sacrifice nor has any relationship to wiping out sins. The Israelites were instructed to kill and roast the lamb or goat whole before leaving Egypt. Like the previous 9 plagues, the 10th plague was also a challenge to Egyptian gods. The god that is associated with the last plague, Khnum, has a lamb head and human body, and was responsible for creating human beings. The ten gods were: Hapi, Heket, Geb, Khepri, Hathor, Isis, Nut, Seth, Ra, Khnum. The Israelites were instructed to kill and roast the lamb/goat so the Egyptians would smell it and be devastated that their gods were in big trouble.
The Passover Lamb is a symbol of Egyptian idol, and everyone in Judaism know this. Just ask any Rabbi. I wonder if Paul, who is responsible for the majority of the New Testament, was really a Jew. Why would he make such a grave mistake of equating Passover Lamb to any type of sin offering? Equating Jesus with the Passover Lamb is essentially equating Jesus to an Egyptian idol. Really don't understand why Paul said such a thing.
Besides, there are no such thing as sacrifice that can wipe out all sins, not even the goats offered during Yom Kippur for that matter. Any of the sacrifices related to sin offerings in the OT are only good for canceling out "unintentional sins." King David didn't offer any sacrifice for his intentional sins, and he was forgiven because he repented.
If Christians don't know the true meaning of Passover, does it really matter if they celebrate Passover?
Passover is for the Jews and their descendants, people who signed the covenant with the God of Israel. I am not a Jew, but I can appreciate their history and rich culture. But for Christians, why twist the story of the Passover, the function of Passover Lamb/goat, and insert Jesus into the mix. Twisting the Jew's story of Passover seems disrespectful to me.
Drawing the connection between the blood of the Passover lamb/goat with Jesus doesn't make logical sense. So, Jesus's blood would only cover the lives of the first-borns? The other people will live regardless of whether there were blood on the doorposts. That foreshadow analogy is not convincing to me.
I am not a Jew, but I wish Jews who believe in Jesus would realize that they are betraying their own people and destroying a rich history and culture. The NT is an anti semitic propaganda, even a non Jew like me when reading it has to cringe, especially chapters like Matt 23.
Think of King David, he was forgiven because he repented, that's what the Hebrew Bible instruct about salvation, it's repentance, not someone dying for others. The God of Israel hates human sacrifice so Hashem won't device such a plan to go against himself. The God of Israel hates adultery, so he wouldn't let someone's wife give birth to his child, that's just against his own principle.
For Jews who don't understand their own Hebrew Bible, I recommend Rabbi Tovia Singer and Jews for Judaism. There are plenty of resources that will guide Jews to understand how the Hebrew Bible is the complete Bible for the Jews, and that there are so many inconsistencies in the NT that actually go directly against Hasham.
Being Jewish is not a nationality, it’s not a country, it’s not a religion. It’s a job description.. I don’t expect you to understand
I am going to celebrate Passover!
All Praises to The Most High 🙌🏽🙏🏽

I’ve been a Christian most of my life, I’ve been a preacher for over 30 years, I’ve never heard this till today. This has blown me away!
Imagine how many pagan festivals Christian’s keep without knowing.
Please, brother, shepherd your flock in the truth now that you know it. And please make sure you’re filtering the traditions of men that have been passed down from generation to generation and through Bible colleges out of your teaching. 💗🙏🏻
I'm not a Preacher today I stumbled across "this" in Bible study today & was absolutely stunned. Then up pops this video tonight. I praise your humility and your courage to Shepherd your Flock away from cute bunnies, chicks & chocolate....most importantly the altering of True Worship (time) to worldly conveniences and false idols. God Bless You
@@datdea Indeed !
I actually found out last year by researching the roots of the diabolical Roman Catholic Church . The reason for my research i believe the Lord led me to witness to catholics so i needed to know what the Roman Catholicism Doctrines and the whole catholic belief system is and what it entails. First about Christmas the date was set by Rome also after a pagan Idol and has nothing to do with Jesus birth . I also found out about Pagan Easter so this video just explained in detail what happen and validated my own research . A former catholic priest Now Born Again told me that the Roman Catholic Church (Cult like ) is Satan's Masterpiece to deceive all the Nations and sad to say he succeeded . Almost all in the Christian realm are deceived to this very day .
Thanks so much. I was raised Catholic and I recently started reading my Bible thoroughly. My questions lead me to find the truth.
You would do better to search through better Catholic or Orthodox sources. This man contradicts himself during his presentation.
JESUS SACRIFICE FOR PASSOVER IS PAGAN BELIEVES BASED ON BABILONIA CREED AND THEY EASTER AND THAT IS CELEBRATED BY CHRISTIANS TODAY AHARON
What contradictions?
I was also raised catholic. I have been enlightened as well. This is the Truth.
Jesus Christ is our lamb and our Pasch we do not celebrate that like we do not do ending
It’s time for the exposing of all lies and hidden agendas, false teachings etc.:Let the light shine!
Pagan traditions definitely need to be removed from all our holidays.
This man in this video is deceitful. He hardly told any full truths during this video. It’s insane and disgusting to use the lords name to spread lies about the lord and the Bible
@@alecxjones4419 what is he being deceitful about
He's the truth. Real the while Bible and ask God for revelations @@alecxjones4419
I agree that it is time for the truth! A lot of us do not know because this is what we are taught for generations now. But I have always felt like it was not right, especially as I get older.
You are speaking my language and confirming my understanding of the truths taught by Jesus and revealed plainly within the pages of God's Holy Word. Thank you.
I really like this presentation, it does not come to accuse the Easter tradition keepers, but to teach what the Word actually says and pose the question to the Christian to test for themselves.
You are right.
Thank you for sharing the truth of Passover! It’s been difficult to convey to others this truth because of the “traditions of men” The Lord bless you.
❤️🙏🙏👍
This is brilliant. I’m not going to celebrate Easter this year and I am going to celebrate Passover!
Jesus is our Passover
I’m excited to celebrate it this year ❤
Good work I am sure your good work will impress
Good on you! You will absolutely find more depth and meaning by keeping days in the Bible rather than days (and traditions) that are not in the Bible. The same is true of all the Feasts of the LORD (Lev. 23). They are all about Him, and contrary to the popular view, we learn more about our Messiah by doing the things He did, walking the walk He did, keeping these days that He kept.
@@szymonkrawiec-hf7pt
AMEN! That clears that up❤
Wish I saw this video to share before Easter. I made a stand this year to stop participating in Easter at my church and start observing Shabbat being a member of the worship team. YAH be praised
The coachable become champions
You worship on Shavuot?
Shabbat is held from Friday around sunset to Saturday around sunset. What day do you go to the church on and how do you travel to church. If you drive a car, most cars require a spark that ignites with the fuel so that the car may run. To kindle a fire on Shabbat is to not keep the Shabbat. Sometimes, there are holy days and high days. These sometimes come with two Shabbots in the same week.
a car is not your dwelling. Also the sentence in scripture right before what u describe gives the context and that is work. Does everyone sit in the dark, did moses sit in the dark every fri-sat
Fake Easter fake Christmas
Thank you so very very much for your teaching! It is time to be obedient to the TRUTH!
Thanks Phil.i was never much into Easter and Chistmas as a child or even as an adult. I suppose the LORD was preserving me to gain understanding on these topics. We ought follow GOD rather than man... very true!

@michaelmoroney7785 the JW don't observe the feasts.
I mediated on your talk for the last 3 days. In the end days knowledge will increase. You have proven that.
This knowledge has been known and observed in the Church of God since Christ raised it up in 31 AD. The 7 Holy Days that follow Passover are also commanded to be kept by God’s Church as well.

Thank you for this very clear presentation based on the WORD. Please continue to spread the TRUTH of the WORD.
Phil this was very well done! I reached out via email to a local church pastor to encourage him to at least start teaching about Passover. Churches didn’t get in this mess overnight and it will take time to transition out. Never got a reply but I was faithful to share. Have been observing Passover and His feasts for 10 years. These are our wedding rehearsals preparing us for His return. He moves and acts according to His appointed times. This will be a great video to share. Many thanks and Praise Yah! I conduct a Zoom Passover gathering and ‘Night of Watches’ every year when I don’t have access to a fellowship. Shalom
My name is Zurina and I have just watched this video. For the past 4 years I've known Passover vs Easter to be true and have found opposition when sharing the true meaning.
How do you celebrate Passover ... do you break unleavened bread and drink a cup of red wine?
@@zurinafebruary9931 Hi Zurina, like Phil shared I observe Passover on the 14th day of the biblical calendar. I use the Covenant Calendar and this year Passover falls on April 2nd on the Gregorian calendar. To observe Passover, one should pray, praise Him, read Scripture, and read the gospel of how He instructed us to observe Passover in remembrance of Him with bread and wine or grape juice, representing His body and blood, then observe the priestly act of foot washing by removing our sandals and choosing to walk in His ways not ours. (1Peter 2:9-10). Though there are differing thoughts on whether to use unleavened or not, in the Gospels, the bread is defined as ‘Artos’ in Greek meaning ‘raised loaf’ with the New Covenant. Then from the 15th-21st of the 1st month of Abib we observe the 7 days of Unleavened Bread. I have more information on my website at this link. www.thelibbylink.com/spring-feast Yahusha (Jesus of Nazareth) doesn’t expect us to be perfect, He just expects us to do the best we can in our sanctification process. Blessings to you on your journey with our Groom.

True, but that doesn’t stop us being obedient to God’s feasts.
I'm still learning so forgive my ignorance but what about the celebration of Esther? It is not written to celebrate what she did to save the Jews but yet this celebration was adopted. Am I reaching? I guess the difference is the origin. Esther is NOT rooted in pagan gods but "Easter" aka Resurrection is unfortunately associated with it. Hears a question, although it wasn't commanded as an annual feast, what if Jesus Resurrection was connected on purpose so that believers won't commemorate the importance of his death ie just like the unbiblical celebration of Esther. This just a thought, a question...Thank you for reading. y@@alexandrasmith4393
@@BIBLESnapshotsChallenge you're not reaching. I believe someone else was reaching and you learned it from them. Esther is Ishtar but name only because if you read the book of Esther, her uncle tells her to adopt a name of the locals which was Ishtar because Babylon had been conquered by Persia. Her original name is Hadaasah but it could have been Ashter-oth too, either way the celebration is implied by the pagan church of Catholicism that's why it's not following the original timing of it, which has passed already but instead plunks it down on Sunday. Sunday is their day for everything special. Ashter-oth or Ishtar is the same name but oth means mark or basically oath or promise. NOTHING, I MEAN NOTHING that comes from the modern church is safe. You have to study and weigh it all to find the truth. There are two types of people. People who pray to learn the truth and gain the trust and patience of the Father like the Son or people who want to stick with their comfortable beliefs because it makes their life easier and simple. It's either in the Word or it's not but also has the Word you use been tampered with? How do you know or at least gain confidence in it? Good luck my friend, you'll need it. It's hard because "the world" will give you what you want but to be like commanded or follow the Son is hard.
@@BIBLESnapshotsChallengeI can tell you are sincere by the wording but the whole ending seems manufactured or forced and what I mean is you're proposing that it's all connected because of Esther saving her people(which she didn't completely save them but gave them opportunity to fight for their lives then leave or stay) and resurrection but what if 'God' meant for it to be a sign or connection. Which reaching as you said...
What does Pascha mean? It's a Greek transliteration of Pesach which means to pass over or skip or jump.. what does 'Jesus' mean? All words mean something in the bible or they used to before they became transliterations into English or whatever language. Shouldn't that be important?

If the fact that easter is three weeks before passover this year doesn't tell you something you might not be paying attention
Can you elaborate
Easter date is controlled by the Sun. It's a relic of Sun Worship. It keeps changing.
I suppose, YOU are the only one who knows that secret??? Please...let all of us ignorant ones...know what it is YOU know.
@baberoot1998 Today march thirty first is easter. The supposed resurrection day. April 22nd is the 1st day of Passover. Passover was the crucifixion day. After Passover on April 28th comes the feast of first fruits. The true resurrection day. So how do you celebrate the resurrection? Three weeks before the crucifixion?
It is written in scripture. It's not a hidden secret.
Thank you lord jesus to bring this to light in jesus name amen
Amen: We were grafted in not the other way around.
Great teaching of the truth of the Scriptures
I also think what we call good Friday and Sunday as the resurrection day are wrong. Jesus says he will be in the earth 3 days and 3 nights before he is resurrected. From Friday evening to Sunday morning doesn't add up to 3 full days and 3 full nights.
I heard the scripture in my spirit yesterday 29 March. Do not learn the way of the heathen.
Correct. Jesus died on Wednesday. Wednesday to Saturday ( Sabbath).
@@888KingsDaughter *EXACTLY !!!* 👍
Scripture also says he would be cutoff in the middle of the week.. so Wednesday crucifixion and weekly sabbath resurrection

Thanks for sharing this truth
Easter is a Pagan Holiday. Easter was originally a celebration of Eostre, goddess of Spring, otherwise known as Ostara, Austra, and Eastre. One of the most revered aspects of Ostara for both ancient and modern observers is a spirit of renewal.Celebrated at Spring Equinox on March 21, Ostara marks the day when light is equal to darkness, and will continue to grow. As the bringer of light after a long dark winter, the goddess was often depicted with the hare, an animal that represents the arrival of spring as well as the fertility of the season.
Yep, Ishtar / Easter is a sun god festival. Does anyone know the real Easter story? It goes like this.
Semiramis wife of Nimrod died and went to heaven. She became impregnated with the rays of the sun and returned to earth in a giant egg which landed in the Euphrates river and burst open. Out came Easter or Ishtar the bare breasted sex goddess of fertility. To prove her divinity she turned a bird into an egg laying rabbit. Semiramis now called Easter, her son's name was Tammuz. Remember, Semiramis was impregnated with the rays of the sun.
Tammuz can be found in the Bible in Ezekiel 8:16-18. Kind of sounds like an Easter sun rise service today to me. Israel picked up this pagan sun God worship while in the Babylonian captivity.
In the Last Days, I see Satan behind the merging of Christianity & Islam, into Chrislam, to persecute Israel & all Jews. That won't be a big step for the Catholic Church, being that they have already twisted so many of the early church's knowledge and understanding.
What are the historical sources for this claim? If you digg a little deeper you won't find much to support that theory.
@@justathoughtherestart researching these false gods of old, it’ll take some time but it is there. Estore I believe was the German version. These feminine deity’s are referred to as the queen of heaven in the Bible.
Answers my question about where the bunnies came from. A pagan spring festival! Thank you.
Amen. The Truth is so refreshing.. 🙏
I read through most of these comments. This was a subject that concerned me. I saw many pros and cons on calling the Resurrection, Easter. And when it occurred. I’ve been a Christian ever since I could remember. I always celebrated Easter and even as a child I always focused on Jesus’ death and resurrection for the forgiveness of our sins. Calling it Easter never changed my faith. But recently I’ve been calling it Resurrection Day. Seeing the controversy on this subject gave me a feeling of being torn. This is none other than a stumbling block created by Satan to distract us from the truth. I believe that God would want us to focus on what Jesus did for us on the cross. And celebrating our Christian holidays has made many souls aware of our Christian beliefs and brought them to Christ our savior. Don’t let anything distract you from what is the most important. Jesus our messiah.
Errors should be exposed by all means - it got nothing to do with distraction.
I agree about it being an opportunity to witness to non-believers. People are generally more willing to go to church at Christmas and Easter, so it's a good time to reach out to them.
However, I would say that the Passover DOES celebrate Jesus' death and resurrection, because Jesus was the ultimate Passover lamb. Just as the Hebrews' first born sons were redeemed by the blood of the lamb, so we are redeemed by the blood of the Lamb 😊

Thank you for sharing the truth with us today!
Mark 7:7 and 8 - 7They worship Me in vain; they teach as doctrine the precepts of men.’ 8You have disregarded the commandment of God to keep the tradition of men.” 9He went on to say, “You neatly set aside the command of God to maintain your own tradition.
To the folks who claim that Passover is only for "Israel"!
Once you accept Yeshua as Messiah you are "Grafted IN" to Israel. (Romans 11)
And you are no longer a foreigner, of the nations or a gentile, but a citizen of Israel. (Ephesians 2:19 and 1 Corinthians 12:2)
There is NO SUCH THING as a Jewish or Gentile "Christian". (Galatians 3:26 through 29 and Galatians 3:7)
The church is following the missteps Israel made and not aware:
The people draw near Me with their mouth and with their lips do honor Me but have removed their heart from
Me and their fear toward me is taught by the commandment of men: Isaiah 29:13
The resurrection of Christ is April 25, 2024 the 17th of Nissan, Passover is the 14th of Nissan, April 22, 2024,
if you must celebrate it is not BIBLICALLY required.
It will not always be on an Sunday, I have convince a few this year that the Catholic church Easter is more
outrageous this year than the previous years since His resurrection is celebrated before His actual date
of death, but Gods word cannot penetrate the teaching of man. Millions including Pastors will WRONGLY
convince their congregations that March 31st is day Christ resurrection took place almost 2000 years ago:
The anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you:
1st John 2:27
It's a sobering thought to realize that we have inherited nothing but lies from our forefathers. Jeremiah 16:19
This is the first year that I have not made preparations for celebrating Easter or holy week. The first year we will remember/observe Passover on the correct time.
Since my one and only son died in 2022 I have been on a journey for Truth and understanding.
Yehovah is so merciful and great.
In 2022 I was asking him why? Why did you allow my son to die? Why couldn't you help us?
Why didn't you answer my prayer ,my supplication?
Before his death my sons last words were: Mom, please tell the people we are not dead. 3x
I was confused and at the same time the realization hit me that my son was dying.
I was not going to church. I had stopped years ago. I was sad at what was happening in the church and felt that it made no sense or brought no happiness to be a follower. Probably God didn't exist or even Jesus? Actually what I felt was that they were real just that religion wasn't real or the Truth. My church wasn't upholding the Truth.
So by the time my son died it hit me so hard that it forced me to really take a look at what I was believing in. His last words were not in line with what I had been taught. When we die we don't go anywhere but to the grave. Adventists don't believe in the believers soul going to the presence of Jesus. Both body and soul sleep.
The truth is I wasn't worried about my son having died per se. But more because I had not taught my son the church's beliefs. When he was 12 he had asked to be baptized and I had said : "no, you must wait till your a mature enough person." I didn't want him to join the church by an impression due to his young age like I had.
When your 18 which legally is an adult and you firmly make that decision then you can do it and I'll support you. Not be baptized just because schoolteacher is having a week of revival teaching.
So the biggest and heaviest question on my heart was, what did I do!? Was my son saved? My beliefs is that you have to be baptized yes or yes in order to be saved.
He believed in Jesus but was not baptized.
It wasn't these questions that got my attention to realize that I believed in traditions of men as the Bible says. It was a bold statement made in a post on FB of A RoodWakening taught by Michael Rood.
The COP 27 was just taking place in November of the year 2022 and just a few days after my sons death.
The activities included the presentation of the ' ten commandments of climatic change' on Mount Sinai.
I didn't care about anything of the like , infact I wasn't aware what was going on. My pastime was Face book or playing games , watching videos on UA-cam not looking at world stuff or at preachers preaching in my spare time.
So when this post showed up on my feed, I was caught by the statement " they are imitating Moises" presentation of the 10 commandments and going up the "false Mount Sinai". I immediately commented that they were saying nonsense! Mount Sinai can't be a false mountain since that's where Moises got the 10 commandments.
Then they gave me an explanation and asked to visit UA-cam and find Micheal Roods videos.
From there it has been one thing to the next!
Blasphemy on their part to say that Jesus name is rightfully Yeshua.
Nonsense that the Bible says that Jesus didn't die on Friday. And this about Easter not being Passover as instituteed by Yehovah??!!!
My church has taught for decades upon decades about the last supper and celebrate at Easter time. Even if it's different ritual than the Catholic church but it's just like every other protestant church observes in the season of Easter.
I lost my Faith in my church and found my Messiah and God! That's all that matters to me now. Without realizing it the day my son died on November 1st , the moment I plead with God to please help my son and I. He was quick to answer my prayer.
My family and I needed him the most. Yehovah reveals the truth of himself to those who he chooses.
Every day is strengthening what I have learned.
Now my free time is more for the word of God and less for worldly stuff on FB and UA-cam.
The amount of biblical truths content found here on UA-cam is huge. When Yeshua returns how can one say I didn't know? Shalom

Last Supper and Passover are the same. Gentiles call it the Last Supper which is the truth:
Before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that His hour was come that he should depart out of this world
unto His Father: John 13:1
Passover is the death of Christ, the so called Easter represent the resurrection of Christ two different events.
The church separates the resurrection from Christ death (Passover), why? Don't know no one has an answer.
I guess because Israel had feast days under the old covenant, the church feels that they need to make up religious
celebrations like the old covenant.
@@deborahnew4914 the answer as to why they separate or don't celebrate it in the time Israel celebrate Passover is just as this video says. They incorporated the pagan feast and made it blend with the gospel. Bunnies and eggs are not of Yeshua nor remotely connected to his sacrifice.
We can't continue ignoring the Truth of how it started.
Blessings sister! Shabbat shalom from Belize.

Easter bunny did not exist until the 1700"s.
Does not explain why resurrection day change yearly.
The catholic church and their made-up celebrations which the protestant church also continue to practice.
started in 326AD long before the bunny came along. True the religion celebrations are tied into the Pagen traditions.
Passover do not need to be celebrated unless you are a tribe of Israel. The church celebrates the resurrection, of Christ which,
is three days after Passover, which the Christan world ignores, also do not need to be celebrated all religious holidays are
traditions. But, if you want to at least do it on the proper day. I wonder what Christ and His Father is thinking tomorrow, when the
celebration for Christ resurrection is being celebrated on the wrong day., but I remember Isaiah 55:8-9.
Blessings to you
This is wonderfully done
I started fasting for other believers will see we are all part of Israel. We are grafted into the common wealth of Israel. I know now and changed . Thank you Abba
Jesus said not to make a show out of your fasting.
Thank you soo much for your teachings.
It is a curious fact that in many European languages Easter still keeps its Passover identity e.g. Pacqua in Italian or Pasen in Dutch, but English uses a totally different word Easter. Like you I lament that lack of any linkage between Passover and Easter in many Christians minds and experience. However Passover is a memorial of God's deliverance from slavery in Egypt by the blood of a lamb - a once for all event remembered every year. Jesus instituted the Lord's Supper during a Passover meal. This is what we celebrate every time we share the Lord's Supper - a once for all event continuously remembered. Easter, however, is a celebration of the Lord's resurrection, the feast of Firstfruits. The early church gathered on the first day of the week to remember the Lord's resurrection. The real split from Passover came when Easter was fixed as the first full moon after the equinox, rather than the solely lunar Jewish calendar, which in 2024 means that Easter and Passover are almost a month apart.. John
Great teaching. Thank you!
One such great teaching ❤❤❤
I keep the PASSOVER AMEN ❤
How and when?
Passover 2024 will begin on Monday, April 22 at sundown and end on Tuesday, April 30 at sundown.2 The date in the English calendar changes each year, but the holiday always falls on the 15th day of the Hebrew month of Nissan through the 22nd. This includes the Feast of Unleavened bread. It may seem complicated and overwhelming to some at first, but there are many good resources on the web. As a Christian, I recommend a Messianic viewpoint rather than Rabbinical. Lion and Lamb Ministries is a good source for info.@@timhodgins6031
Christ is Risen! The difference between the solar and the lunar calendar is the difference for the date of Passover and Easter. Look up reason and theology’s video of “do we celebrate Easter on the wrong day” or something to this effect. You run the risk of dishonoring the lord by not reveling in his day of resurrection, whether that be Easter or Sunday. The incarnate God was made flesh for us and calls us to gnaw of his flesh and drink of his blood, and on that very day 3,000 left him. It is said in the gospel that this would be a stumbling block for those who cannot accept his revelation. You who lack this lack the fullness of his divine institution, the inheritance of his divine church and order. Work out your salvation through fear and trembling. The awesome God is upon us, rejoice in his resurrection. Do not fall prey to the Judaizers as warned in Acts. May our incarnate God be with all of you on this glorious day of Resurrection.
Amen and amen! Truth to power! in Jesus name♥♥♥
Truly was bless I will obey His Word not what the workd say to thank you so much
Thank you shalom very informative ❤
It just makes sense, thank you for sharing...
This subject along with others like it is discussed in the book Sabbath to Sukkot which is, at least in my opinion, the best single volume on the biblical holidays.
