Passover and Us - Sermon Slides

The Institution of Passover This day shall be for you a memorial day, and you shall keep it as a feast to the LORD; throughout your generations you shall observe it as an ordinance for ever… You shall observe this rite as an ordinance for you and for your sons for ever… And when your children say to you, ‘What do you mean by this service?’ you shall say, ‘It is the sacrifice of the LORD’S passover, for he passed over the houses of the people of Israel in Egypt, when he slew the Egyptians but spared our houses.’” And the people bowed their heads and worshiped. Then the people of Israel went and did so; as the LORD had commanded Moses and Aaron, so they did. (Exodus 12:14-28)

And the people of Israel, the whole congregation, came into the wilderness of Zin in the first month, and the people stayed in Kadesh; and Miriam died there, and was buried there… Moses lifted up his hand and struck the rock with his rod twice; and water came forth abundantly, and the congregation drank, and their cattle. 12 And the LORD said to Moses and Aaron, “Because you did not believe in me, to sanctify me in the eyes of the people of Israel, therefore you shall not bring this assembly into the land which I have given them.” 13 These are the waters of Mer′ibah.

Passover and the ‘New Israel”

Jesus and Passover Luke 2:21 Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the Passover. Luke 22: So Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and prepare the passover for us, that we may eat it.” … And they prepared the passover. 14 And when the hour came, he sat at table, and the apostles with him. 15 And he said to them, “I have earnestly desired to eat this passover with you…”

How Passover became the Last Supper St. Paul: ‘I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took bread, 24 and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, “This is my body which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” 25 In the same way also the cup, after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.” ’ (1 Cor. 11)

The Easter Controversy After the Council of Nicaea, Emperor Constantine I declared that the date of Easter should no longer be dependent on Passover and discouraged association between Christians and Jews.

 It appeared an unworthy thing that in the celebration of this most holy feast we should follow the practice of the Jews, who have impiously defiled their hands with enormous sin, and are, therefore, deservedly afflicted with blindness of soul … Let us then have nothing in common with the detestable Jewish crowd; for we have received from our Saviour a different way.” •

Tribal Messiahship

Jesus died without becoming a tribal messiah. If that is fulfilled, you can also inherit world messiahship since I have fulfilled my responsibility. In other words, you are standing in the position to accomplish what Jesus did not fulfill and the victory that I fought to win for forty years. You can inherit the standard on the cosmic level. (1989.4.1. Belvedere)

The Blessing as Passover Just as the Israelites had to put the blood of the lamb on their door posts, the blessed families must take the holy wine and change their blood lineage to enter the Kingdom of God. You must also purify the blood lineage of your relatives and you must bless not only your children but your grandchildren. (True Father January 3, 2004)
