Forward
Passover is one of the three yearly gatherings that the Lord
has given to His people to celebrate and remember who we are, who God is, what
he has done for us, and what He has promised to still complete. These Feasts,
also called Sabbaths, are specific places in time that he has prepared for ALL
his people. The knowledge and practice of these Feasts has been robbed and
hidden away from a large portion of the Church for almost 2,000 years. It began
with the accusation that Jews were God-haters and that anything associated with
their traditions should be completely rejected and abandoned. In the fury
of hatred, blame, and religious self-righteousness, the teaching and
observation of the Lords intimate seasons were lost - but only for a season.
In recent times, the Lord, blessed be His Name, has seen fit
to re-ignite and re-veal the Truth and power that is hidden in these
times. All of the Feasts speak of our Messiah, Jesus. They describe
and reveal the operation of the Kingdom
of God. As Heb 8:5 says of the
Tabernacle, they are "a copy and shadow of what is in
heaven." So while we may not be able to see clearly into the realm of
Heaven, we can see the shadow that it casts on the earth through the Feasts.
The Feasts are not heaven, but they are quite accurate in their details.
The observance of these times is by no means to be construed
as some alternate method of salvation.
Ephesians 2:7-10 says
"For it is by
grace you have been saved, through faith-and this not from yourselves, it is
the gift of God - not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God's
workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in
advance for us to do." New International Version
