Passover
Passover: A Feast of the Lord (Leviticus 23:2)
What a wonderful and sacred feast it is! Passover marks the beginning of the Spring Moedim, the Lord’s appointed times, and carries deep significance both in the past and in the present.
Here is some important information about Passover:
What:
Passover is Yahweh’s feast, a holy convocation (Leviticus 23:4). It’s not just a meal but a divine gathering, a set-apart time to honor the Lord.
When:
It is observed on the 14th day of the first month at twilight (Leviticus 23:5).
Why:
Passover is a memorial to the Lord. It commemorates the night when Yahweh passed over the houses of the Israelites in Egypt, sparing their firstborns while striking Egypt with judgment (Exodus 12:14, 26-27).
Passover also points to the ultimate Passover Lamb, Yeshua (Jesus), who was slain to take away the sin of the world (John 1:29, 1 Corinthians 5:7-8). Just as the blood of the lamb marked the doors of Israelite homes in Egypt, so too, the blood of Yeshua marks the hearts of believers today, bringing salvation and freedom from sin.
Who:
Passover is for the entire congregation of Israel. However, if a stranger wishes to partake, they must first be joined to the covenant of the Lord through their faith, and then they may keep the feast as a native-born member of the community (Exodus 12:47-48). This invitation to join the covenant reflects God's desire for all people to come into His family.

Numbers 28:16-25 – The offerings made during the Passover season
Matthew 27 – The death of Yeshua as our Passover Lamb
