Happy Feast of Unleavened Bread Day 3 Wednesday…
Thank You Father for this NEW DAY. Thank You for Our Perfect Passover Lamb. Please Father, help us to LIVE AWARE, to choose wisely, to stay close to You, and ANCHORED IN Your TRUTH. Thank You for Your GREAT LOVE AND MERCY. Thank You that You Wait For Us, and You Strengthen Us. We come to You today, choosing to WALK IN Your PRESENCE AND LIGHT. In YESHUA, JESUS CHRIST’s Name we pray. AMEN. Good morning Brothers and Sisters and Happy 3rd Day of The Feast of Unleavened Bread! This year we weren’t set to go over The Passover Meal, but after getting a lot of questions and many looking for easy to understand, clear, concise information about The Passover Meal to share with new believers, it seems prudent to share this devotion once more. Please share with anyone you believe needs to know the many connections between Our Messiah Yeshua Ha’Mashiach, Jesus Christ, and this Hebrew Tradition that has been around for thousands of years. It still amazes me that so many, for thousands of years, participated in this meal foreshadowing our Messiah, and were never able to make the connections. Thankfully for us, the veil has been lifted, the mysteries have been revealed, and our Savior has come. HalleluYAH! Now, without further ado, this servant prays you enjoy, share, and are edified by “Treasures of Passover: The Four Cups.” May you and your families be Blessed on this feast day, and may The Revelation of The Word and The Knowledge of God abound in you all. Shabbat Shalom and Happy Feast Day Mishpocha (Family)! Sincerely, Servant of Yeshua 7 “This day shall be A MEMORIAL FOR YOU. You shall keep it as A FEAST TO YAHWEH. You shall KEEP IT as a feast throughout your generations by an ordinance FOREVER.” Exodus 12:14 WEBUS - Treasures of Passover: The Four Cups Part 1 - The Cup of Sanctification A few nights ago at twilight we celebrated The Passover Meal. It was, and will be celebrated by millions, all in obedience to our Prophecy-Fulfilling Father In Heaven. The Passover Meal, or Seder (Order, Procedure) Meal, has been held in memorial now for literally thousands of years. It is quite amazing The Heavenly Treasures that can be found not only when studying it, but also much more so when we actually participate in it. This last year, and every year this servant has participated, so much has been revealed! It is just impossible to fit all of these amazing revelations into a morning devotion, because certainly it would take a whole book. But, prayerfully today, and over the next few mornings, we can shine some Light on a small part of this beautifully Yeshua-Inspired Meal. It is important to understand that The Passover Meal is not an outed tradition that doesn’t apply to us anymore (Exodus 12:14 See Above), but rather an unbelievable honor and privilege in which we are all called to participate. Being that Yeshua is Our Perfect Example and He participated in it, that should be enough compelling evidence for any of us. Didn’t know that Yeshua, Jesus Christ Our Savior, participated in it? Don’t feel bad, many of us didn’t. One reason that many of us didn’t know is probably because Yeshua’s Passover Meal is now commonly referred to in modern Christianity as “The LORD’s Supper.” Remember, He Said, “Do This In Remembrance of Me (Luke 22:19)” Did the light just go on? Excellent! Let’s continue. During a traditional Passover Meal there is a very specific order that the meal is presented in, hence the term “Passover Seder,” which means “Passover Order.” We know that Our Father Is A God of Order, so this makes perfect sense. From the creation of our great great grandfather Adam, to the building of Noah’s Ark, to The Tabernacle, and right on through to The Life of Our Eternal Savior, we have no shortage of examples of Our Father’s Order. Typically, The Passover Meal begins with a welcome from the head of the household, then Blessings and Thanks to Our Father and Savior are given, after which some Scriptures are read, candles lit, an honoring of the woman, or women, who helped prepare everything is implemented (Typically Called “The Cup of Miriam.”), then we come to The First Cup of The Passover Meal. The Cup Is Called “Kadesh” or “The Cup of Sanctification” and it is a memorial of Our Father’s Promise: “I will bring you out of Egypt (Exodus 6:6-7).” (Note: All Four Cups of The Passover Meal are contained in this Scripture. We will expound on these over the next few days.) Let’s take a look: “I Am The LORD (YHVH, Yahweh), and I WILL BRING YOU OUT from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I WILL DELIVER YOU from slavery to them, and I WILL REDEEM YOU with an outstretched arm and with great acts of judgment. I WILL TAKE YOU TO HE MY PEOPLE, and I Will be your God, and you shall know that I Am The LORD (YHVH, Yahweh) your God, Who has brought you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians” Exod. 6:6-7 “For I do not want you to be ignorant of the fact, brothers and sisters, that our ancestors were all under The Cloud and that they all passed through the sea. They were all baptized into Moses in The Cloud and in the sea. They all ate the same Spiritual Food and drank the same Spiritual Drink; for they drank from The Spiritual Rock that accompanied them, and That Rock was Christ.” 1 Corinthians 10:1-4 Now that we have established what The Passover Meal Is, Who It Is For, and Why It Is Relevant for us today, lets take a look at an except from hebrewforchristians.com on The First Cup: “In Hebrew, the word for “holiness” is kedushah, meaning “set-apartness.” When God said that He would bring the Israelites out of Egypt, He separated them and set them apart as His own special people. During The Exodus, their passage through the cloud and the sea were likened to their “baptism” or rebirth as God’s people. The first cup is called the “Cup of Sanctification” since it recalls how God has set us apart as His special people. This is the same cup over which we recite The Sabbath Blessing on The Sabbath, except tonight we will recite it over The First Cup of Passover. Of Yeshua it is said, “Messiah our sanctification” (1 Cor. 1:30). Which cups did Yeshua drink during his Passover Seder with His disciples? He apparently drank the first two cups in the traditional way. At the third cup, The Cup of Redemption, he said: “This is My Blood of The New Covenant” (Matt 26:27- 39). Yeshua told His disciples that He would not drink the fourth cup (The Cup of Restoration), but promised to do so with them in the coming Kingdom (Matt 26:29).” Pretty awesome right?! My prayer is that during this special time of year, this devotion sparks your interest, Lights A Fire, and encourages you to search out some of the many blessings Our Father and Savior has for us in The Holy Feast of Passover/Unleavened Bread. Tomorrow we will take a look at “The Second Cup” of Passover or “The Cup Of Deliverance.” Until then My Brothers and Sisters Shalom (Peace), May The One Who Sanctifies Us Bless You, and Happy Feast Day!
