Pesach - A Week Of
Remembrance
(Pesach = Hebrew For
Passover)
YeshaYah (Isaiah) 52:
7 How pleasant on the mountains are the feet of Him who brings good news,
who proclaims peace, who brings good news, who proclaims DELIVERANCE, who says
to Tsiyon, "Your Elohim Reigns!"
vs. 8 The voice of your
watchmen! They shall lift up their voices, together they SHOUT FOR
JOY, because eye to eye they see THE RETURN OF YAHWEH
to Tsiyon.
Notice that YHWH
Himself returns to Tsiyon [Zion] at the advents of the Messiah. This is
the message of YHWH the Messiah, the message of Luke 2:11 and others. (Peshitta Aramaic
NT, Write us or see the www.JoyInTheWorld.info website for
more info.)
9 Break forth into joy, sing
together, you waste places of Yahrushalayim! For YHWH shall comfort His
people, HE SHALL REDEEM YAHRUSHALAYIM.
10 YHWH shall lay bare His
set-apart Arm in the eyes of all the nations. And all the ends of the
earth shall see the deliverance of our Elohim.
11 Turn aside! Turn aside!
Come out from there, touch
not the unclean. Come out of her midst, be clean, you who bear
the vessels of YHWH.
Where do we come out form on this
Pesach (Passover) Exodus journey? Revelation
11:8 is our answer. "...The great city which
spiritually is called Sodom and Mitsrayim [Egypt] (a.k.a. Babylon), WHERE ALSO
THE MASTER WAS IMPALED"
This same
call we see later on in the call to "Come out of her, My
people" [Rev 18:4]
12 For you shall NOT come
out [of spiritual Sodom and Mitsrayim] in haste, nor
go in flight. For YHWH is going before you, and the Elohim of Yisrael is
your rear guard.
Indeed, it is a
PROCESS to come out of Egypt today; it is even a process just
learning what to come out from!!!!! But we are doing it with YHWH's help,
slow but sure. :-)
13 See, My
Servant works wisely, He shall be exalted and LIFTED UP AND
VERY HIGH.
Indeed, He
shall be lifed up high, and already has been lifted up high; even much
further than the stake!!! Yohanan (Jn) 12:32, 33. "And I, if I am lifed up FROM THE
EARTH, shall draw ALL men unto Myself. This He said, signifying by what
death He was about to die."
14 As many were astonished at
You - so the disfigurement beyond any man's and HIS FORM BEYOND THE
SONS OF MEN.
So be it! The Messianic Message, that His
form is BEYOND the sons of men. MESSIAH IS MORE THAN A MAN. HalleluYAH!!!!!
15a. He shall likewise
STARTLE MANY NATIONS. Sovereigns shut their mouths at Him, for what had
not been recounted to them they shall see, and WHAT THEY HAD NOT HEARD THEY
SHALL UNDERSTAND.
Today
YHWH is pouring out upon us, a spirit of knowledge and
understanding. Knowledge is being increased!!! Daniel 12:4. "But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and
seal the book, [even] to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and
knowledge shall be increased." This is happening
TODAY!!! We are living in the latter times, nearing the time of the
end, and of a NEW BEGINNING.
15b. Who has believed
our report, and to whom has the arm of YHWH been
revealed?
YHWH is
asking this question of us TODAY, as we are observing Pesach; asking us to
search our hearts that we do not partake of the emblems of His
offering unworthily.
YeshaYah (Isa) 53:1 For He
grew up before Him as a tender plant, and as a root out of dry ground. He
has no form or splendour that wwe should look upon Him, nor appearance that we
should desire Him -
vs 2 Despised and rejected by
men, a man of pains and knowing sickness. And as one from whom the
face is hidden, being despised, and WE DID NOT CONSIDER
HIM.
3 Truly, HE HAS BORN OUR
SICKNESSES AND CARRIED OUR PAINS. Yet we reckoned Him stricken, smitten by
Elohim, and afflicted.
4 But
HE WAS PIERCED FOR OUR TRANSGRESSIONS,
He was CRUSHED FOR OUR CROOKEDNESS. The chastisement for our peace was
upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed.
5 WE ALL LIKE SHEEP
HAD GONE ASTRAY, each one of us has turned to his own way. And YHWH has
laid on Him the crookedness of us all.
6 He was oppressed and He was
afflicted, but He did not open His mouth. He was led as a lamb to the
slaughter, and as a sheep before its shearers is slient, but He did not
open His mouth.
7 He was taken from prison and
from judgment. And as for His generation, who considered that He shall be
cut off from the land of the living? FOR THE TRANSGRESSION OF MY PEOPLE HE
WAS STRICKEN.
8 And He was appointed a grave
with the wrong, and with the rich at His death, because He had done no violence,
nor was deceit in His mouth.
9 But YHWH was pleased to
crush Him, He laid sickness on Him, that when He made Himself an offering for
guilt, He would see a seed, He would prolong His days, and the pleasure of YHWH
prosper in His hand.
10 He would see the result of
the suffering of His life and be satisfied. Through His knowledge My
righteous Servant makes many righteous, and He bears their
crookedness.
11 Therefore I give Him a
portion among the great, and He divides the spoil with the strong, because He
poured out His being unto death, and He was counted with the transgressors,
and He bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the
transgressors.
1 Corinthians 5:7.
Therefore cleanse out the old leaven, so that you are a new lump, as you are
unleavened. FOR ALSO MESSIAH OUR PASSOVER WAS OFFERED FOR
US.
8. So then let us observe the
festival, not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of evil and wickedness, but
with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
"Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of
decision. For the day of YHWH is near in the valley of
decision." (Yoel 3:14) YHWH
is calling us to REMEMBRANCE of the price
which EmmanuEL paid for US; calling us
to REPENTANCE so that he can blot out the remembrance of our sins with His
offering of blood. Repentance means to TURN, and the call this
Pesach season is to TURN from all manner of sin to
WORSHIP YAH'shua Messi'YAH
because of the price which He paid for us!
Shalom and Kavod
Pesach. May you have a peacful and splendourous seven days of
Passover and Chag HaMotzoh, Feast Of
Unleavened bread.*
Shalom B'Shem Yahshua

*Based on our observation (S. Central PA) and sightings
of the new moon crescent and barley in Yahrushalyim, Abib
14 arrived the evening of 4/4/2004, Sunday evening, Roman time. This marks 4/5/04
(Monday) as being Passover day.
Our
studies indicate that the Passover / Unleavened Bread celebration is a seven
day event, Pesach marking the first day. For our year 2000 study of
Passover, please see our article on Passover
