YESHUA HIDDEN IN THE PASSOVER

By -

The Passover Celebration traditions have evolved over the centuries.  the Seder Meal is the kickoff and the most significant event of the seven-day celebration of the Feast of Unleavened Bread. How is Yeshua hidden in the traditions of the Passover Seder?

Well let's walk through the order of the Seder meal and we will highlight the parts where Yeshua's actions are foretold in the order. For the most part, I will stay away from Hebrew for the sake of clarity and brevity and use only English terms. For a full-on Hebrew Haggadah look here. 

I like the Haggadah (the order) in the back pages of Jill Shannon's book A Prophetic Calendar, the Feasts of Israel - "I am the broken piece!"

At the Seder meal, there is usually a printed booklet of the order, for each person attending and each person will read a section from it. The Haggadah lays out the order of all the prayers, blessings, and symbolic actions taken during this celebratory meal. There are several groupings of four in the Passover meal. Here is an article that lays out all the fours found in the Passover Seder meal. 

  • Four declarations from Exodus 6:6-7 
    1. I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and 
    2. I will deliver you from slavery to them, 
    3. I will redeem you with outstretched arm(s) and with great acts of judgment. 
    4. I will take you to be my people, and I will be your God, 
  • Four cups of wine - tied to the four declarations above
  • Four sons - four responses - The Parable of the Sower 
    1. one wise - 30, 60, 100 fold 
    2. one wicked-trodden down 
    3. one simple - rocky shallow 
    4. one who does not know how to ask - trodden soil 
  • Four questions - Why is this night different than any other night? 
    • 1) On all nights we need not dip even once, on this night we do so twice?
      2) On all nights we eat chametz or matzah, and on this night only matzah?
      3) On all nights we eat any kind of vegetables, and on this night maror?
      4) On all nights we eat sitting upright or reclining, and on this night we all recline?
  • Four pieces of Matzah 3 pieces but the middle one is broken into 2 pieces
  • Four sections to the Order*

The order can vary from place to place and from family to family. The rituals have evolved through the centuries but the basic order has remained. There are 14 items in the order but they can be divided into four basic sections.

  2, 22, 222, 2222 - Keys to the House of David This Facebook post from Johnny Enlow was sent to me by a friend two years ago and I ran across it again today.  So in good fun, I repost it here.  OK, so the 2's have it. So many of you have apparently been seeing a lot of 222 and 2222 as well and are wondering as to what the Lord might be saying there. Three scriptures that I get for this are: Eph. 2:22,  Rev. 22:2 and  Acts 2:22.  Eph. 2:22 is about us being built into a dwelling place for God.  Rev. 22:2 is about being trees of life that bring healing to the nations.  Acts 2:22 is about being a person of signs, wonders, and miracles.  All three go together and as you see the 222 you are being reminded that you are one that is to carry the power and presence of God everywhere you go.  Life of the supernatural is yours to step into as you host Him. Seeing 2222 at key times is about Isaiah. 22:22. This is the passage about ...

This post is about my reoccurring connection to the Minnesota Miracle and how God has kept the dream alive for a revival in Minnesota that He wants to bring to birth.  October 1971 - Minnesota Miracle Seventeen years old and on my way to a weekend retreat at Camp Courage. There I received the baptism of the Holy Spirit on Friday night with many other young people. The rest of that weekend was supernatural, none of us (over 100 high school and college students) showed up at the dining hall to eat, many of us did not sleep, we sought the Lord continuously for three days from Friday evening until Sunday at Noon . God was present in a tangible way as the Spirit hovered over our camp. We all left there changed by the power of the Holy Spirit.  The speaker that weekend was Dick Eastman he went onto North Central Bible college in downtown Mpls. Monday to lead their morning chapel service, that chapel service lasted for three days! Monday 8 AM - Wednesday 7 PM. The Bible sc...

A WRINKLE IN TIME... another JESUS PEOPLE movement?

First the Natural...  The Jesus People Church in Minneapolis begun in 1972, came out of the REVIVAL meetings held 7 days a week for several weeks at Souls Harbor, Downtown Minneapolis in the fall of 1971.  Coincidentally, the congregation at the renewed Jesus People Church now in Rogers, MN set aside Friday, May 2, 2014, for a Jesus People Church Reunion.  They invited all those who were part of the Jesus People Church in Minneapolis during the 70s and 80s; as part of that congregation in the past, my wife and I received a personal invitation to attend. But we did not go the gala event at a ritzy hotel in Minneapolis. Then the Spiritual!  The same weekend, I also received a personal invitation for Saturday, 5/3/14 to hear Cindy Jacobs at the House Church at 2024 Rahn Road in Eagan, MN. She prophesied that night "another Jesus People Movement" to come. As I sat in that "physical place where I had been one of the Jesus People church elders 25 years earl...
