YAHSHUA is ALIVE! - 2019 (Ref. 1104)
The CHURCH of the DAY IGNORED the DIVINE SIGNS:
Despite the supernatural events on the day of Passover and people who came to belief inclusive of the commander of the Roman army - the CHIEF PRIESTS and the PHARISEES STILL were HARDENED in HEART CHOOSING to IGNORE the DIVINE SIGNS.
YAHWEH'S DAYS start at EVE and END at EVE:
YAHSHUA DIED on [he SET DATE of] PASSOVER, the 15th of NISSAN at three o'clock - (The 15th day of the first Hebrew month that started at sunset the 14th through to sunset the 15th.)
Great signs accompanied His suffering and death and when evening came - the 16th of Nissan started which was also the start of the UNLEAVENED BREAD FEAST - a 7 day feast starting with a SABBATH and ENDING with a SABBATH (not normal 7th day Sabbaths).
THE BREAD FROM ABOVE:
On the eve of the 15th of Nissan, when the 16th of Nissan had already started, Yahshua was laid in the tomb with the start of the Unleavened Bread Feast as the Pure Uncontaminated Unleavened Bread from above.
The the very next day, the CHIEF PRIESTS and the PHARISEES gathered before Pilate to SECURE the TOMB of the "VAGABOND IMPOSTER" (vagabond: tramp, drifter, hobo, beggar, gipsy - imposter: phony, fraud, pretender, cheat, play-actor). They claimed that Messiah's disciples would steal His body and the deception thereof would be worse than the first. (Matt. 27:62-65).
Matt 27:66 "So they went off and MADE the TOMB SECURE by SEALING the BOULDER, a GUARD OF SOLDIERS BEING WITH THEM AND REMAINING to WATCH."
That night was Messiah's second night AND second day in the tomb - as Yahweh's Biblical days are sundown to sundown.
The following day, Messiah's third night and day in the tomb was a usual 7th day Sabbath ...
THE WOMEN WENT TO LOOK AT THE TOMB:
Matt. 28:1 "Now AFTER the Sabbath, near dawn of the first day of the week ..." (a normal 7th day Sabbath with Sunday as the first day of the week) ... "Mary of Magdala and the other Mary went to take a look at the tomb."
A GREAT EARTHQUAKE and AN ANGEL:
When the two Mary's came near to the tomb, there was a great earthquake (a sign) when an ANGEL of YAH DESCENDED from heaven and ROLLED the BOULDER BACK and SAT UPON IT.
His APPEARANCE was LIKE LIGHTNING, and HIS GARMENTS as WHITE AS SNOW. (Matt. 28:2-3)
THE GUARDS TREMBLED:
The GUARDS KEEPING WATCH were so FRIGHTENED at the SIGHT of him that they were TOTALLY STRESSED OUT, and THEY started TREMBLING becoming LIKE DEAD MEN. (Matt. 28:4)
DO NOT BE ALARMED AND FRIGHTENED:
But the angel said to the women, DO NOT BE ALARMED and FRIGHTENED, for I KNOW that you are LOOKING for YAHSHUA, Who was CRUCIFIED. (Matt. 28:5)
YAHSHUA HAS RISEN:
And the angel said to the women, "HE IS NOT HERE; HE HAS RISEN, as HE SAID that He would do. COME, SEE the PLACE WHERE He LAY." (Matt. 28:6)
GO TELL the OTHERS to GO to GALILEE - there you will FIND Him:
"GO QUICKLY and TELL His disciples, HE HAS RISEN FROM THE DEAD, and behold, HE IS GOING BEFORE you to Galilee; there you will SEE Him. Behold I have told you." (Matt. 28:7)
Matt. 28:8 So they LEFT the TOMB HASTILY with FEAR and GREAT JOY and RAN to TELL the disciples.
The WOMEN MET YAHSHUA and WORSHIPPED Him:
"And as they went, behold, Yahshua MET them and said, Hail (greetings)! And they WENT UP TO HIM and CLASPED HIS FEET and WORSHIPED Him." (Matt. 28:9)
Matt. 28:10 Then Yahshua said to them, DO NOT BE ALARMED AND AFRAID; GO and TELL My brethren to go into Galilee, and THERE they will SEE Me."
AN EVIL CONSPIRACY:
While the women were on their way to tell the others of the RISEN MESSIAH, some of the GUARDS went into the city and REPORTED to the CHIEF PRIESTS EVERYTHING that had OCCURED. (Matt. 28:11)
AN URGENT MEETING:
When the CHIEF PRIESTS heard this, they held and URGENT MEETING with the ELDERS - CONSULTED and PLOTTED TOGETHER to give the SOLDIERS a SUFFICIENT SUM of MONEY to the TELL the PEOPLE that Yahshua's DISCIPLES CAME AT NIGHT and STOLE HIM AWAY while they were SLEEPING.
They told the soldiers to not be afraid for if the GOVERNOR HEARS OF IT, theywill APPEASE him and make them SAFE and FREE from TROUBLE AND CARE.
So the guards/soldiers "TOOK the MONEY and DID as they were INSTRUCTED; and THIS STORY HAS BEEN CURRENT AMONG the JEWS to THE PRESENT DAY." (Matt. 28:11-15)
A DIVINE APPOINTEMENT:
Meanwhile the women told the eleven disciples that Yahshua had risen, and "the ELEVEN DISCIPLES went to Galilee, to the MOUNTAIN to WHICH YAHSHUA had DIRECTED and MADE APPOINTMENT with THEM." (Matt. 28:16)
SOME STILL DOUBTED:
Scripture tells us that when the eleven disciples SAW Him, they FELL DOWN and WORSHIPPED Him; but SOME DOUBTED. (Matt. 29:17). For that reason we do not hear much of most of the eleven again ... only John and Peter were prominently mentioned as leaders.
The Gospel of Matthew:
The Gospel of Matthew was written by one of the eleven disciples of Yahshua - Matthew, the tax-collector.
The Gospel of Mark:
The Gospel of Mark was written by a non-disciple - He was a close associate of Peter and a companion of Paul.
The Gospel of Luke:
The Gospel of Luke was written by a non-disciple - He was a physician and a close associate of Paul . Luke also wrote Acts.
The Gospel of John:
The Gospel of John was written by John a disciple of Yahshua.
The Books of JAMES and JUDE:
Two James' were part of the eleven. None of them wrote the Book of James.
The Book of James was written by the half-brother of Yahshua and the Book of Jude was also written by the other half-brother of Yahshua (Jude).
ALL AUTHORITY and POWER OF RULE IS IN Him:
Matt. 28:18 "Yahshua ... said to them, ALL AUTHORITY (ALL POWER OF RULE) in HEAVEN AND ON EARTH has BEEN GIVEN to ME."
GO - MAKE DISCIPLES and BAPTIZE THEM:
Matt. 28:19 "GO THEN AND MAKE DISCIPLES OF ALL the NATIONS, BAPTIZING THEM INTO THE NAME of the FATHER AND of the SON AND of the HOLY SPIRIT."
TEACH THEM to KEEP My COMMANDS:
Matt. 28:20 "TEACHING THEM to OBSERVE EVERYTHING that I HAVE COMMANDED you, and behold, I AM WITH YOU ALL THE DAYS (perpetually, uniformly, and on every occasion), to the VERY CLOSE AND CONSUMATION of the AGE. Amen (so LET IT BE)."
Thank YOU YAHSHUA! our WONDERFUL REDEEMER - SAVIOR! - for the PRICE your PAID for our SALVATION. Help us to KEEP YOUR WORD - to be OBEDIENT to YOUR WORD - to OBSERVE EVERYTHING that YOU COMMAND in YOUR WORD - help us to BECOME YOUR OWN - to WALK IN AN INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP with YOU - to KNOW YOU - to INTIMATELY KNOW YOUR VOICE and YOUR CALL - to RECOGNIZE YOUR CALLING - to KNOW YOUR NAME! Help us to BELIEVE in YOU and ACT on our BELIEVE in YOUR AWESOME SAVING NAME. Thank You for YOUR LOVE - Your MERCY - Your GRACE - for SNATCHING US OUT OF THE FIRE so that we can be YOUR OWN. In YOUR AWESOME - ALMIGHTY NAME - YAHSHUA HA'MASCHIACH. Amen.
The CHRONOLOGICAL EVENTS on PASSOVER DAY - 10 April 2019
15 NISSAN (the 15th of the FIRST HEBREW MONTH)
8 AM:
A BLOODIED MESSIAH was led through the city of Jerusalem to the hill of the Skull (Golgotha) to be CRUCIFIED ... as a GREAT SPECTACLE.
9AM:
By 9 AM YAHSHUA WAS NAILED to the TREE ... EXCRUCIATING PAIN RIPPING through His EARTHLY BODY CONSTANTLY as HIS EARTHLY BODY "MOANED and GROANED" against the HUGE NAILS that PIERCED HIS FLESH ... the RIPPED-OPEN WOUNDS (to His BONES) left by the WHIP'S BONE/METAL ENDS ... the wounds of the SPLINTER sharp-edged THORN-CROWN on His PRECIOUS HEAD ...
Our SAVIOR'S PRECIOUS (REDEEMING) BLOOD was POURING from HIS BODY in an unstoppable flow as HE WAS SACRIFICED ...
SOME WERE SHOUTING ... SOME WERE CRYING:
This PAINFUL SCENARIO CONTINUED for three long hours ... scoffers shouted "COME DOWN if YOU ARE the MESSIAH!" ... people were shouting evil things at Him ... others were crying for Him ... HE HANGED THERE NAKED ... STRIPPED of HIS CLOTHES ... HUMILIATED ... CHASTENED ...
For the Romans, Yahshua was only ONE of the more than 30,000 men in Israel that had been CRUCIFIED already by them in Jerusalem alone. They did not KNOW that THEY WERE CRUCIFYING the SON of the LIVING YAH (God) - the ONE - the ONLY ONE that DIED INNOCENTLY and WILLINGLY to PAY for OUR SINS.
Then .... at 12 noon a SUDDEN SILENCE CAME with the DARKENING of the SUN. A SIGN in the HEAVENS to the PAGANS ... the SATANIC and OCCULT ROMANS and GREEKS ... A SIGN to the PRIESTS and the SCRIBES ... the SANHEDRIN ... the ELDERS ... the CHURCH of the DAY ...
12 PM:
DARKNESS & SILENCE:
THE SUN WAS DARKENED in a DIVINE ACT and the ENTIRE EARTH FELT the IMPACT ... What happened during these three hours of darkness is not mentioned in Scripture ... a DIVINE MYSTERY ... PART of the HEAVENLY PLAN to DESTROY the WORKS the DEVIL has DONE ... to MAKE a WAY ... to START the PATH to SALVATION ... then ALMOST THREE HOURS LATER - Out of the PITCHING DARKNESS YAHSHUA CRIED OUT with a LOUD VOICE ... ELI, ELI, LAMA SABACHTANI? that is My YAH (God), My YAH, why have You FORSAKEN Me ..."
DARKNESS PRECEDES DEATH:
DARKNESS ALSO CAME to EGYPT during the NINGTH PLAGUE for a PERIOD of THREE DAYS - a DARKNESS that could be FELT (Ex. 10:21-22) and AFTER the DARKNESS came the DEATH of the FIRSTBORN SONS (Ex. 11:4-5).
During that darkness YAHSHUA had to TAKE YAHWEH'S WRATH - ENDURED the JUDGMENT of YAH UPON OUR SINS (Gal. 3:13,2; 1 Pet. 2:24; 2 Cor. 5:21).
3 PM:
Luke 27:46 "And about the ninth hour (three o'clock) Yahshua cried with a LOUD VOICE, ELI, ELI, LAMA SABACHTANI? ... :50 And Yahshua CRIED AGAIN WITH A LOUD VOICE AND GAVE UP HIS SPIRIT. :51 AND AT ONCE, the curtain of the SANCTUARY was TORN IN TWO from top to bottom; the EARTH SHOOK AND THE ROCKS WERE SPLIT.
Scripture tells us that the CURTAIN was the VEIL that SEPARATED the HOLY PLACE (where the priests could freely go in and out) and the HOLY OF HOLIES or the MOST HOLY PLACE - the earthly replica of YAHWEH THRONE-ROOM and WHERE HE DWELLED.
The CURTAIN (VEIL) to SEPARATE the HOLY PLACE and the MOST HOLY PLACE:
Ex. 26:31-32 "And you shall make a VEIL of BLUE, PURPLE, and SCARLET and FINE TWINED LINEN, SKILFULLY WORKED with CHERUBIM on it. You shall HANG it on four PILLARS of ACACIA WOOD OVERLAID with GOLD, with GOLD HOOKS, on FOUR SOCKETS of SILVER.
:33 And you shall HANG the VEIL from the CLASPS and BRING THE ARK of the TESTIMONY INTO PLACE WITHIN the VEIL; and the VEIL SHALL SEPARATE for you the HOLY PLACE from the MOST HOLY PLACE.
:34 And you shall put the MERCY SEAT (THRONE) on the ARK of the TESTIMONY in the MOST HOLY PLACE."
When YAHSHUA GAVE UP HIS SPIRIT, the DARKNESS DISSAPEARED just as SUDDENLY as it had APPEARED. THREE THINGS HAPPENED:
1. THE "VEIL" WAS TAKEN AWAY:
Luke 27:51a "And at ONCE the CURTAIN of the SANCTUARY of the TEMPLE WAS TORN IN TWO from TOP to BOTTOM;"
THE SEPARATION VEIL WAS TORN IN TWO from TOP TO BOTTOM. It was a THICK WOVEN CURTAIN - not SOMETHING that could be torn easily. It did not have a little rip ... no it was TORN from TOP to BOTTOM through a DIVINE ACT. By the TEARING of the HEAVY THICK CURTAIN in the TEMPLE, the PATH was MADE to the FATHER ... and INTO HIS THRONEROOM.
TAKING the HEAVY VEIL AWAY - Yahshua made it possible for us to MEET with Him and our heavenly Father in His HEAVENLY THRONE-ROOM [through an intimate relationship with Him - His Spirit in us -and prayer] so that we could go BOLDLY and UNAFRAID to Him - MEET with HIM - SIT WITH HIM FACE to face. We do not NEED anything else to be able to meet with Him ... Yahshua did EVERYTHING that COULD be DONE and HE IS ALL WE NEED ...
2. AN EARTHQUAKE:
Luke 27:51b "... the EARTH SHOOK and the ROCKS WERE SPLIT." - a DIVINE SIGN - SOMETHING EXTRAORDINARY was TAKEN PLACE.
International Geology Teams claim that based on the EARTHQUAKE ACTIVITY in the DEAD SEA NEAR Jerusalem, they can say with certainty that Yahshua was CRUCIFIED in MARCH/APRIL in the year 33 - (PASSOVER) according to the annual layers of deposition in the sediments that affected the core.
Earthquakes in Biblical times often accompanied DIVINE REVELATION or a UNIQUE ACT of YAHWEH. WITH YAHSHUA'S DEATH, the EARTHQUAKE SIGNIFIED that the DEMANDS of the LAW were now FULFILLED in MESSIAH YAHSHUA also SIGNIFIED the IMMENSITY of this ACT.
3. TOMBS were OPENED:
Due to the EARTHQUAKE and the SPLITTING of ROCKS, TOMBS were OPENED ... and AS YAHSHUA CONQUERED DEATH, some of the Old Testament 'saints' were BROUGHT to LIFE. As a result of Yahshua's VICTORY over DEATH these saints were a FORETASTE of WHAT WILL COME at the END OF TIME ... the FINAL RESUREECTION in 1 Thess. 4:16.
The Gospel of Luke tells us that these risen ones - hid themselves in the tombs till Yahshua's resurrection - then went into the holy city of Jerusalem and appeared to many people. (Luke 27:52-53 "The TOMBS WERE OPENED AND MANY BODIES of the SAINTS (genuine believers) WHO HAD FALLEN ASLEEP IN DEATH WERE RAISED to LIFE; :53 And COMING OUT of the TOMBS AFTER HIS RESURRECTION, they WENT INTO THE HOLY CITY AND APPEARED to MANY PEOPLE".)
The DARKNESS that came upon the earth, DISSAPPEARED just as suddenly as it came.
From 3pm till 6 pm:
For another 3 hours Yahshua's body was hanging on that tree ... people watching from a distance. Scripture tells us nothing of any of the disciples ... they must have also watched from a distance, afraid that they would be seized as well. Maybe they were still in disbelieve of what had just happened. But in time, they will understand it all.
The CENTURION (the commanding officer of the Roman Army):
Luke 27:54 "When the CENTURION and THOSE who were WITH HIM KEEPING WATCH OVER YAHSHUA OBSERVED the EATHQUAKE and ALL THAT WAS HAPPENING, they were TERRIBLY FRIGHTENED and FILLED WITH AWE, and said, TRULY THIS WAS GOD'S SON!."
The WOMEN:
Luke 27:55-56 "There were also NUMEROUS WOMEN THERE, LOOKING ON from a DISTANCE, who were of THOSE WHO HAD ACCOMPANIED YAHSHUA from Galilee ... Among them were Mary of Magdala and Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of Zebedee's sons."
Luke 27:57-60 "When it was evening, there came a rich man from Armathea, named Joseph, who also was a disciple of Yahshua. He went to Pilate and asked the body of Yahshua, and Pilate ordered that it be given to him. And Joseph took the body and rolled it up in a clean linen cloth used for swathing dead bodies. And laid it in his OWN FRESH UNDEFILED TOMB, which HE HAD HEWN IN THE ROCK; and he ROLLED A BIG BOULDER OVER the DOOR of the tomb and WENT AWAY.
:61 And Mary of Magdala and the other Mary kept sitting there opposite the tomb.
:62-64 The next day ... the chief priests and the Pharisees ASSEMBLED before Pilate and said, Sir, we have just REMEMBERED how that VAGABOND IMPOSTER said while He was STILL ALIVE, AFTER THREE DAYS I WILL RISE AGAIN. Therefore, GIVE AN ORDER to HAVE THE TOMB MADE SECURE and SAFEGUARDED UNTIL the THIRD DAY, for FEAR that HIS DISCIPLES will COME and STEAL HIM AWAY and TELL the PEOPLE that HE HAS RISEN from the DEAD, and the LAST DECEPTION and FRAUD WILL BE WORSE THAN the FIRST.
:65 Pilate said to them, YOU HAVE a GUARD [of SOLDIERS; TAKE THEM and] go, MAKE IT AS SECURE AS YOU CAN. So they went off and MADE the TOMB SECURE by SEALING the BOULDER, a GUARD of SOLDIERS BEING WITH THEM and REMAINING to WATCH.
Darkness came upon the earth - 9 April 2019
The PASSOVER/UNLEAVENED BREAD FEAST EVENTS ACCORDING to SCRIPTURE - Part 5 (The Fountain of Living Waters) by Celia Joy Martins
Luke 23:44 "It was now about the SIXTH HOUR (MIDDAY) and DARKNESS ENVELOPED THE WHOLE LAND AND EARTH UNTIL the NINTH HOUR (about three o'clock in the afternoon)."
Yahshua were already hanging on the tree for three hours. He was arrested and tortured until about 8am the next morning. He was led through Jerusalem with people spitting on Him, still mocking Him and then CRUCIFIED.
AN UNUSUAL STRANGE EVENT:
For the NEXT SIX (6) HOURS He would be hanging - CRUCIFIED on the HILL CALLED GOLGOTHA - and then DIED, but something happened that was very UNUSUAL.
At midday (12am) DARKNESS came UPON the WHOLE LAND AND the WHOLE EARTH. This DARKNESS was RECORDED in HISTORY and was NOT an ECLIPSE.
The LONGEST ECLIPSE can last for ONLY a FEW MINUTES. This DARKNESS came DURING PASSOVER, ALWAYS OBSERVED at the time of the FULL MOON, which MAKES an ECLIPSE of the SUN IMPOSSIBLE.
THE SUN ITSELF WAS DARKENED.
It was NOT JUST A DARKNESS - the SUN ITSELF was DARKENED. There was a FAILURE of LIGHT not because of the ABSENCE of the SUN such as when it is night - it was A DARKNESS IN THE PLACE of the SUN.
It was a SUDDEN DARKNESS at TWELVE - not activated by a slow gradual process, and it DEPARTED just as SUDDENLY AFTER THREE HOURS at THREE in the AFTERNOON.
THE HILL OF GOLGOTHA:
This hill was a BUSY PLACE. It was just outside Jerusalem, and the CROWDS PASSED it by GOING IN AND OUT of Jerusalem ...
Ironically, just as busy as the hill was, just as "BUSY" was our SAVIOR on that TREE, STRUGGLING to BREATH, STRUGGLING to KEEP CONSCIOUSNESS because of EXCESSIVE BLOOD LOSS, STRUGLING against the IMMENSE PAIN ... but still INTERCEDING for those who CRUCIFIED Him and HAVING MERCY for a DYING CO-CRUCIFIED CRIMINAL "Today you will be with Me in Paradise).
Messiah endured AGONIZING PAIN, BLOODIED, HIS FLESH RIPPED to PIECES when WHIPPED, the CROWN of THORNS that PIERCED into His HEAD, BLOOD DRIPPING from HIM making a RIVER of BLOOD BENEATH Him ... just like the PASSOVER LAMBS lambs' blood that FLOWED CONTINUOUSLY from the side of the TEMPLE ...
Through this, He still prayed "Father, forgive them for they do not know what they are doing..." and He made sure that His mother was cared for by the apostle John.
Soldiers watching, mocking Him ... dividing His clothes as the winning of a lottery ... chief priests criticizing Pilate's inscription on the stake which stated "The King of the Jews" ... scoffers busy wagging their heads, reviling Him as they circled Him like dogs ... "Come DOWN IF YOU ARE the MESSIAH!"
SUDDENLY EVERYTHING TURNED SILENT:
Tsunami's of sin, flowing freely and unchecked around the tree ... but SUDDENLY EVERYTHING TURNED SILENT ... THERE WAS SILENCE ... a SILENCE that CAME with the SUDDEN DARKNESS ... and it seemed as if the WHOLE EARTH CAME TO A STAND STILL. (Mark 15:23).
A VISIBLE DISPLAY of the POWER OF YAHWEH:
SILENCE came upon everyone and they began to tremble in the DARKNESS, something was HAPPENING ... it was a SIGN ... a VISIBLE DISPLAY of the POWER of YAHWEH, because ONLY HE is CAPABLE of CHANGING the LAWS of HIS CREATED NATURE ... nothing ELSE COULD MAKE the SUN to GO DARK.
The "SUN" - the ancient "SUN-GOD" and the RE-INCARNATED "SON-SUN-GOD" (Tammuz) WAS GONE ... TAKEN OUT OF THE WAY ... for THREE HOURS it was JUST DARKENED ... the SUN NEEDED for LIFE mysteriously VANISHED ... the "SUN-GOD" that was HONORED and SACRIFICED TO was taken out of the way by the POWER of YAHWEH - the ALMIGHTY ...
YAHSHUA CAME to DESTROY the WORKS of the DEVIL:
Messiah's main purpose was to DESTROY the WORKS the DEVIL HAS DONE ... to TAKE BACK (mankind) that BELONGS to Him and OUT of the CLUTCHES of the EVIL ONE ... and to PAY a ONCE and FOR ALL PRICE for His prime creation ... PAYING with HIS OWN LIFE so we could be saved.
Even the Roman soldiers then UNDERSTOOD the MEANING of the DARKNESS and the EARTHQUAKE that followed proclaiming "TRULY THIS WAS the SON OF GOD". (Matt. 27:54; Mark 15:39; Luke 23:47).
Near to the end of the DARKNESS, YAHSHUA in HIS TREMENDOUS SUFFERING LOOKED UP into the DARKNESS and CRIED OUT "MY YAH (God), MY YAH (God) WHY HAST THOUGH FORSAKEN Me!"
For a while the SON OF YAH was FORSAKEN, because THAT was HIS PUNISHMENT as the SIN-BEARER. (2 Cor. 5:21), and when His SUFFERING became so IMMENSE and IMMEASURABLE - the DARKNESS HAD TO COVER Him.
DARKNESS SHUT HIM OFF:
When Yahshua DRUNK the CUP of MANKIND'S SINS it was NOT A PRETTY SIGHT - and HE WAS HIDDEN from HUMAN EYES ... DARKNESS SHUT HIM OFF from all WITNESSES ... it was THREE HOURS OF ALL HELL for our SINS that CAME UPON our SAVIOR. SIN HAD TO BE PUNISHED ... and YAHSHUA TOOK HIS FATHER'S FULL WRATH ... to SAVE US! Then, at the other end of the THREE HOURS ... Messiah said, "IT IS FINISHED" ... HIS WORK WAS DONE ... EVERYTHING WAS COMPLETED.
Mankind would no longer have a NEED for PRIESTS AND TEMPLES, SACRIFICES AND RITUALS, PRAYER BOOKS AND ALTARS ...
The DEATH MARCH - 8 April 2019
The PASSOVER/UNLEAVENED BREAD FEAST EVENTS ACCORDING to SCRIPTURE - Part 4 (The Fountain of Living Waters) by Celia Joy Martins
The PASSOVER FEAST - 14 Nissan - 21 Nissan Corresponding to:
21 April - 29 April 2019
PASSOVER - 21/22 APRIL 2019
UNLEAVEND BREAD FEAST - 22/23 - 29 APRIL 2019
FIRST FRUITS are stuck in the MIDDLE of the 7 DAY Unleavened Bread Feast.
- 25/26 April 2019
THE CRUCIFIXION:
When Passover had fully come - the 15th of Nissan (corresponding to the 21st of April 2019 this year), Messiah Yahshua was led away to be CRUCIFIED. He was mocked and ridiculed, beaten, spit on, whipped almost to death, and mistreated the entire night. A crown of thorns was piercing His flesh, and bloodied and battered, He was led away to die a wicked man's death.
In His exact words to His disciples with the last supper so that Scripture could be fulfilled referring to the prophecy of Is. 53:12 - He - the Son of YAHWEH -Himself YAH (God) - was counted and classed among the outlaws and the criminals.
What is WRITTEN about Him has its FULFILLMENT - FINALLY SETTLED:
Luke 22:37 "For I tell you that this Scripture must yet be FULFILLED IN ME: 'And He WAS COUNTED AND CLASSED AMONG the WICKED (the OUTLAWS and the CRIMINALS'); for what is WRITTEN ABOUT Me has ITS FULFILLMENT [has REACHED its END and is FINALLY SETTLED.]" referring to Is. 53:12. These words
Messiah's disciples did not understand ...
They LED HIM AWAY:
Luke 23:26 "... and as they led Him away, they seized Simon of Cyrene, who was coming from the country, and laid on him the tree and made him carry it behind Yahshua".
A GREAT MULTITUDE on the DEATH MARCH - WEEPING for Him:
Luke 23:27 "And there accompany Yahshua a great MULTITUDE of the people (including) WOMEN who BEWAILED and LAMENTED Him."
YAHSHUA TOLD them to WEEP FOR THEMSELVES and for their CHILDREN:
Luke 23:28 "But Yahshua, TURNING TOWARD THEM said, DAUGHTERS of Jerusalem, DO NOT WEEP FOR Me, BUT WEEP for YOURSELVES and for YOUR CHILDREN."
When Yahshua turned to the weeping women, He did not acknowledge the weeping for Him. He took the attention off of Him, putting the focus on their own sinfulness - the VERY REASON that He was MARCHING to HIS DEATH.
A SHIFTING OF FOCUS to the REAL REASON for what was HAPPENING:
It was a FOCUS-SHIFT to ACKNOWLEDGE that HE was going to GIVE HIS OWN LIFE - BUYING MANKIND BACK from DEATH - GIVING HIS OWN LIFE as the FINAL and ULTIMATE PRICE - DYING for ALL of MANKIND'S SINS and MAKING a WAY for everyone - to ENABLE MANKIND to FOLLOW Him to WHERE HE WAS GOING ... a WAY to HEAVEN as our LAST AND FINAL DESTINY for ETERNITY - a WAY BACK to the FATHER ...
He was telling the people that HE CAME to UNDO, LOOSEN and DESTROY the WORKS of the DEVIL - to PAY the FINAL PRICE to GIVE US LIFE EVERLASTINGLY.
AS the HAPPENINGS UNFOLDED, more and more SCRIPTURE went into FULFILLMENT:
Luke 23:32 "Two others also, who were CRIMINALS, were LED AWAY to be EXECUTED with Him. [Is. 53:12].
:33 And when they came to the PLACE which is CALLED THE SKULL [Latin: CALVARY; Hebrew GOLGOTHA], THERE they CRUCIFIED Him, and [along with] the CRIMINALS, ONE on the RIGHT and ONE on the LEFT.
:34 And YAHSHUA PRAYED, FATHER, FORGIVE THEM, for they KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO. And they DIVIDED His GARMENTS and DISTRIBUTED them by CASTING LOSTS for them." [Ps. 22:18].
CALMLY and LEISURELY the PEOPLE WATCHED:
The RULERS SNEERED at Him - if You are the CHOSEN ONE, SAVE YOURSELF!
Luke 23:35 "Now the people stood by [calmly and leisurely] WATCHING; but the RULERS SCOFFED and SNEERED (turned up their noses) at Him, saying, He RESCUED OTHERS (from death); LET HIM now RESCUE Himself, if He is the Messiah, the Anointed of Yah, His CHOSEN ONE!"
The SOLDIERS REACTION - If You are the KING of the JEWS - SAVE YOURSELF!
Luke 23:36-37 tells us that the soldiers ALSO CRUELY RIDICULED and MADE SPORT of Him offering Him vinegar to drink - another prophesy that went into fulfillment (Ps. 69:21) ... saying "If you are the KING of the JEWS, SAVE YOURSELF - RESCUE YOURSELF FROM DEATH."
"... there was an INSCRIPTION above Him in letters of Greek and Latin and Hebrew: THIS is the KING of the JEWS." (Luke 23:38)
Verses 39 - 43 tells us that one of the criminals told Yahshua to SAVE Himself and them - but the other one recognized Yahshua as YAH (God) defending Yahshua saying that He has done nothing wrong, then addressed Yahshua asking Him to think of him when Yahshua came into His kingly glory.
Luke 23:43 "And He answered him, Truly I tell you, today you shall be with Me in Paradise."
The DARKNESS on EARTH - LASTED THREE HOURS :
Luke 23:44 "It was now about the SIXTH HOUR (MIDDAY) and DARKNESS ENVELOPED THE WHOLE LAND AND EARTH UNTIL the NINTH HOUR (about three o'clock in the afternoon)."
THE THICK WOVEN CURTAIN of the HOLY OF HOLIES TORN IN TWO:
Luke 23:45 "While the SUN'S LIGHT WAS DARKENED ... the CURTAIN of the HOLY OF HOLIES of the TEMPLE was TORN IN TWO. (Ex. 26:31-35).
:46 And YAHSHUA, CRYING OUT WITH A LOUD VOICE, said, FATHER, INTO YOUR HANDS I COMMIT MY SPIRIT!. And with these WORDS He EXPIRED. [Ps. 31:5].
Thank You YAHSHUA our MESSIAH ... for CONQUERING DEATH so that WE COULD be WHERE YOU ARE ... thank You for GIVING us LIFE EVERLASTING ... thank You for YOUR REDEEMING LOVE - YOUR MERCIFULNESS - YOUR COMPASSION ON US ... in YOUR WONDERFUL AWESOME NAME. Amen.
MESSIAH'S SENTENCED to DEATH - 5 April 2019
The nation of Israel - the children of Jacob - was awaiting their Savior (Messiah) - a GREAT AND MIGHTY KING that would SAVE them.
They were expecting the UPRISING of a GREAT MIGHTY KING - an EARTHLY KING and NOT a HEAVENLY KING that would come to earth to GIVE HIS OWN LIFE to SAVE MANKIND from ETERNAL DEATH in hell.
Well into PASSOVER NIGHT (14th of Nissan when the 15th had already started) - corresponding to 21/22 April 2019) YAHSHUA was SEIZED and ARRESTED by the hands of the CHIEF PRIESTS and CAPTAINS of the TEMPLE AND the ELDERS of the SANHEDRIN.
RIDICULING (MOCKING - MAKING FUN) of the SON OF YAH:
Yahshua was TAKEN to the house of the HIGH PRIEST where He was MISTREATED and ABUSED - RIDICULED and BEATEN.
Meanwhile, Peter, the only disciple that is mentioned that followed Yahshua, was outside, overwhelmed with GUILT and REMORSE - WEEPING BITTERLY.
Simon Peter:
Peter was grief stricken, but he did not know it yet. In due time he would become one of the most passionate believer's and disciple's of MESSIAH YAHSHUA - of all time. Both Peter and Paul would be the two - in whom a PASSION - a GODLY FIRE would be IGNITED to SPREAD the GOSPEL to the ENDS of the EARTH.
When PASSOVER had FULLY COME (15th of NISSAN):
Right through the night, many INSULTING - EVIL AND SLANDEROUS WORDS were SAID AGAINST Yahshua, REVILING Him - and as soon as it was DAY - when PASSOVER HAD FULLY COME, the ASSEMBLY of the ELDERS of the PEOPLE GATHERED TOGETHER, BOTH the HIGH PRIESTS and SCRIBES; and they LED HIM into THEIR COUNCIL. (Luke 22:63-66).
The SANHEDRIN (a JEWISH JUDICAL BODY - The "modern-day "PREDIKANTE" (priests) en die "KERKRAAD" (elders)' ACCUSED YAHSHUA and
CONDEMNED HIM for:
1. VIOLATING the SABBATH LAW - HEALING on the SABBATH;
2. THREATENING to DESTROY the JEWISH TEMPLE;
3. SORCERY;
4. EXCORCISING PEOPLE by the POWER OF DEMONS;
5. CLAIMING to be BOTH THE MESSIAH and the SON of YAH.
Brought before Pilate:
YAHSHUA was then BROUGHT BEFORE PONTIUS PILATE - the ROMAN GOVERNOR of ROMAN-JUDEA - asking him to TRIED YAHSHUA for CLAIMING that HE IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
Pilate could found no guilt in Yahshua, but the Sanhedrin was determent in their evil ways, saying that Messiah stirred up and enticed the people - teaching them throughout all Judea - from Galilee to Jerusalem. (Luke 23:1-5).
Before HEROD:
When Pilate heard that Yahshua came from Galilee, he sent Him to Herod [a higher authority] for Galilee belonged to Herod's jurisdiction.
When Herod saw Yahshua he was exceedingly glad for he had heard about Yahshua, what was said about Him and was hoping to witness some sign or some striking evidence or spectacular performance done by Yahshua.
As the events UNFOLDED, PROPESIES were going into FULFILLMENT.
Luke 23:9 "So he (Herod) ASKED Him (Yahshua) MANY QUESTIONS, but HE MADE NO REPLY. [Is. 53:7].
:10 Meanwhile, the chief PRIESTS ("PREDIKANTE") AND THE SCRIBES ("KERKRAAD") STOOD BY, CONTINUING VEHEMENTLY and VIOLENTLY to ACCUSE Him.
:11 And HEROD, with HIS SOLDIERS, TREATED Him with CONTEMPT and SCOFFED AT and RIDICULED Him; then DRESSING Him up in BRIGHT AND GORGEOUS APPAREL, he SENT Him BACK to Pilate." [Is. 53:8].
BLOODTHIRSTY:
Although Pilate could found no OFFENSE, CRIME OR GUILT in Yahshua, the CHIEF PRIESTS, SCRIBES, ELDERS AND PEOPLE INSISTED, SHOUTING OUT "CRUCIFY, CRUCIFY Him." (Luke 23:21).
Pilate then had Yahshua CHASTISED, but the CROWD KEPT ON INSISTING with a LOUD DEMAND to CRUCIFY Him (Luke 23:22-23). So he gave sentence to do what they asked, released a murderer and YAHSHUA WAS LED AWAY according to the WILL of His ACCUSERS.
O Yahshua, our ROCK - our HIDING PLACE - our PRINCE of PEACE ... YOU GAVE YOURSELF - for us ... You MADE the WAY. Let ALL PEOPLE ACKNOWLEDGE YOU, our KING ... and FIND the WAY to YOUR KINGDOM. In YOUR WONDERFUL NAME. Amen.
MESSIAH TAKEN INTO CUSTODY - 4 April 2019
The PASSOVER/UNLEAVENED BREAD FEAST EVENTS ACCORDING to SCRIPTURE - Part 2) (The Fountain of Living Waters) by Celia Joy Martins
After the LAST SUPPER, Judas Iscariot already on his way to the soldiers to betray Messiah, Yahshua went (habitually) to the Mount of Olives - His disciples with Him.
During supper, Simon Peter thought that he STOOD STRONG in HIS BELIEFS saying "I am READY to GO with You both to PRISON AND TO DEATH" but what be-waited them in the Garden of Gethsemane proofed his words wrong.
YAHSHUA KNELT DOWN and PRAYED:
Once in the Garden, Yahshua WITHDREW and SET HIMSELF APART from His disciples, KNELT DOWN and PRAYED, saying:
Luke 22:42 " ...Father, if You are willing REMOVE this CUP from Me; yet not My will but [ALWAYS] YOURS be DONE."
STRENGTENED by an angel:
Luke 22:43 "And there APPEARED to Him AN ANGEL from HEAVEN, STRENGTENING Him in SPIRIT."
Messiah in GREAT AGONY - His SWEAT BECAME LIKE GREAT CLOTS of BLOOD:
Luke 22:44 "And being in an AGONY [of mind], He PRAYED [all the] MORE EARNESTLY (seriously, deeply) and INTENTLY, and HIS SWEAT BECAME LIKE GREAT CLOTS OF BLOOD DROPPING DOWN UPON the GROUND."
With Messiah Yahshua in great agony, his SWEAT that DROPPED on the GROUND like CLOTS of BLOOD, He found His disciples fast asleep.
The disciples did not REALIZE the SEVERITY of the SITUATION that was going to be UNFOLDED, and we should note that Messiah did not ASKED them to PRAY for HIM, but for their own sakes that THEY would NOT GET INTO TEMPTATION.
Messiah knew that they were in DANGER by the hand of the enemy, prowling around seeking to KILL STEAL and DESTROY.
Verse 47 of Luke 22 tells us that "WHILE HE WAS STILL SPEAKING, behold, there CAME A CROWD, and the man called JUDAS, one of the Twelve apostles, was going BEFORE, LEADING THEM. He DREW NEAR YAHSHUA to KISS Him."
:48 "But Yahshua said to him, JUDAS! Would you BETRAY and DELIVER UP the SON OF MAN with a KISS?"
The BOND SERVANT of the HIGH PRIEST'S EAR:
Luke 22:49-50 "And when those who were around Him saw what was about to happen, they said, YAH, (Lord) shall we STRIKE with the SWORD? One of the men STRUCK the BOND SERVANT of the HIGH PRIEST AND CUT OFF HIS EAR, the RIGHT ONE."
GIVING HIMSELF UP WILLINGLY - HEALING of the SERVANT'S EAR:
Luke 22:51 "But Yahshua said, PERMIT them to go so FAR AS TO SEIZE Me. And He TOUCHED the ear and HEALED him.
The 'CHURCH' OF THE DAY came to ARREST YAHSHUA:
:52 Then Yahshua said to those who had come out against Him - the CHIEF PRIESTS and the CAPTAINS of the TEMPLE and ELDERS [of the SANHEDRIN] - have you come OUT WITH SWORDS and CLUBS as you WOULD AGAINST A ROBBER? :53 When I was with you DAY AFTER DAY in the TEMPLE, you DID NOT STRECTCH FORTH YOUR HANDS AGAINST Me, BUT THIS IS YOUR HOUR - and the POWER WHICH DARKNESS GIVE YOU HAS ITS WAY.
:54 Then they SEIZED Him and LED HIM AWAY, bringing Him into the house of the HIGH PRIEST. PETER WAS FOLLOWING at a DISTANCE."
SATAN'S ONSLAUGHT AGAINST PETER:
Luk. 22:55 And when they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and were seated together, PETER SAT AMONG them.
:56 Then a servant girl, seeing him as he sat in the firelight and gazing intently at him, said, THIS MAN TOO WAS WITH Him!
:57 But HE DENIED IT and SAID, WOMAN, I DO NOT KNOW HIM!
:58 And a little later someone else saw him and said, YOU ARE ONE OF THEM ALSO. But Peter said, MAN, I AM NOT!
:59 And when about an HOUR MORE had ELAPSED, still another emphatically INSISTED, IT IS THE TRUTH THAT THIS MAN ALSO WAS WITH Him, for he too is a GALILEAN.
:60 But Peter said, MAN, I DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT. And INSTANTLY, while HE WAS STILL SPEAKING, the COCK CROWED.
:61 And YAHSHUA TURNED AND LOOKED AT Peter. And Peter RECALLED YAHSHUA'S WORDS, how HE HAD TOLD him, Before the COCK CROWS TODAY, you will DENY Me THRICE."
PETER'S REMORSE (GUILT and SORROW):
Luke 22:62 "And he WENT OUT AND WEPT BITTERLY, that is, with PAINFULLY MOVING GRIEF."
Luke 22:63 "Now the men who had YAHSHUA in CUSTODY TREATED Him with CONTEMPT and SCOFFED at and RIDICULED Him and BEAT Him."
This all happened on the EVE of PASSOVER when PASSOVER DAY started after sunset on the 14th of Nissan ... corresponding to the 21st of April 2019 this year. The next morning - well into Passover the Passover lambs were to be slain.
Thank You Messiah, our wonderful Savior for what You did for us. Thank You for making a way to the Father - a way that was blocked by our sins - and the enemy's onslaught to keep us in the dark ... You paid the PRICE - the FULL PRICE to SAVE US - forgive us for ignoring the FULL GOSPEL - the GRUESOMENESS of Your SUFFERING - the REALIZATION of WHO YOU ARE - the KING of the UNIVERSE - CREATOR - the ALMIGHTY - OFFERING UP HIS LIFE for us - being MOCKED and SCOFFED AT - RIDICULED AND BEATEN - SPIT ON - SLANDERED and INSULTED ... forgive us Yahshua for ignoring Your IMMENSE SUFFERING to SAVE us - us - just ignorantly clinging to only HALF the GOSPEL - the "SAVING" part ONLY of the FULL GOSPEL - for RIDING on the WORLDLY WAVES - thinking that our SINS would AUTOMATICALLY BE FORGIVEN - automatically NAILED to the TREE - when we ACCEPT You as our SAVIOR. Forgive us for keeping the worldly feasts for our lack of knowledge and our disobedience to Your Word. Help us then, O Messiah, to come fully in line with You - Your times and Your seasons and Your appointed days. In Your wonderful REDEEMING NAME, Amen.
The Last SUPPER - 3 April 2019
EVERYTHING FALLS EXACTLY IN PLACE:
In Yahweh's kingdom and in His kingdom things there are no CHAOS. There is NO DARKNESS - no HIDDEN things - NO "SEARCHING for LIGHT" like in Freemasonry and mysticism ... for YAH is our LIGHT ... our EVERLASTING LIGHT in a dark world.
ACCORDING to HIS TIMES and SEASONS:
EVERYTHING regarding YAH and HIS KINGDOM THINGS are DONE ACCORDING TO HIS TIMES AND SEASONS and HIS APPOINTED TIMES and APPOINTED SEASONS. Everything falls exactly in place ...
YAHWEH' FEASTS - ALL of THEM POINTS to MESSIAH:
When ABBA told the Israelites to keep 3 feasts in Exodus 23:14-15 ("THREE TIMES A YEAR you SHALL KEEP A FEAST TO ME. You SHALL KEEP the FEAST of UNLEAVENED BREAD; ... also you SHALL KEEP the FEAST of HARVEST [PENTECOST] ... and [third] you SHALL KEEP the FEAST OF INGATHERING [BOOTHS OF TABERNACLES] ...") - all three pointed into the future with the Jewish Messiah in the center.
The first feast of Unleavened Bread points to Yahshua's Crucifixion, Burial and Resurrection - as the New Testament Pure Unleavened (and without sin) - Messiah.
The second feast of the Feast of the Harvest or Pentecost points to the Messiah's return to heaven and the outpouring of His Holy Spirit.
The third feast of Ingathering or Tabernacles points to Messiah's RETURN.
The EXTREME IMPORTANCE of the LORD'S FEAST: Proclaimed by YAH HIMSELF - His appointed times/seasons are lost to the Christian churches (rooted in and sprouted from the religion of Christianity proclaimed by the emperor of Rome - Constantine - as the State religion) who unfortunately see them as "Jewish Feasts" (anti-Jewishness? - anti-Semitism?) and was replaced with 2 Catholic "worldly" Feasts - Christmas and Easter - both ROOTED in PAGANISM with a "JESUS-SAUCE".
TWO TIME CALENDARS:
Two time calendars are running together. The Biblical or Hebrew Calendar and the Gregorian Time Calendar.
In the year 1582 during the reign of the Roman Catholic Pope GREGORY XIII - the Pope INTRODUCED the WORLD TIME CALENDAR named after himself as the GREGORIAN CALENDAR. This Gregorian Time Calendar as we know it today and which we INHERITED from the POPE of ROME is a SOLAR-SUN CALENDAR that relates to the earth's ROTATION AROUND the SUN and is closely related to Paganism's sun worshipping.
The Calendar runs 365 days, but as it is taking 365 and one quarter of a day for the earth to rotate around the sun, an extra day is added every four years in February as a LEAP YEAR with 366 days.
The Gregorian sun calendar REPLACED the BIBLICAL TIME CALENDAR (Hebrew or "Jewish" Calendar) that is a LUNAR CALENDAR based upon 12 LUNAR MONTHS of 30 days. It is/was an AGRICULTURAL CALENDAR based upon the MOON'S ROTATION around the earth. The PRE-FLOOD Biblical year had 360 days in it, and 12 lunar months of 30 days each precisely.
Ex. 23:14-15 "THREE TIMES A YEAR you SHALL KEEP A FEAST TO ME. You SHALL KEEP the FEAST of UNLEAVENED BREAD; ... also you SHALL KEEP the FEAST of HARVEST [PENTECOST] ... and [third] you SHALL KEEP the FEAST OF INGATHERING [BOOTHS OF TABERNACLES] ..."
THE FESTIVAL of UNLEAVENED BREAD CALLED PASSOVER:
Luke 22:1-2 "Now the FESTIVAL OF UNLEAVEND BREAD WAS DRAWING NEAR, (14th - 22nd of Nissan - 8 days with Passover day) which is CALLED PASSOVER (14/15 Nissan). And the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how to DO AWAY with YAHSHUA for they feared the people."
SATAN ENTERED JUDAS ISCARIOT:
Luke 22:3-6 "But then SATAN ENTERED INTO JUDAS, called ISCARIOT, who was one of the Twelve apostles. And He went away and DISCUSSED with the CHIEF PRIESTS AND CAPTAINS HOW he MIGHT BETRAY Him and DELIVER HIM up to them. And they were DELIGHTED and PLEDGED themselves to GIVE him MONEY. So he AGREED to this, and SOUGHT AN OPPORTUNITY to BETRAY Him to them without an uprising, in the ABSENCE of the CROWD."
PASSOVER DAY:
Luke 22:7 "THEN CAME THE DAY of UNLEAVENED BREAD (Passover) on which the PASSOVER LAMB had to be SLAIN."
THE LAST SUPPER:
Luke 22:8 "So YAHSHUA sent Peter and John saying, GO AND PREPARE for us the PASSOVER MEAL, that we MAY EAT IT. (15th of Nissan starts after sunset on the 14th)
:13 And they went ... and they made READY the PASSOVER SUPPER.
:14 AND WHEN THE HOUR HAS COME (15th of Nissan after sunset on the 14th), YAHSHUA RECLINED at the TABLE, and the APOSTLES with Him.
:15-16 And Yahshua said to them, I HAVE EARNESTLY and INTENSELY DESIRED to EAT this PASSOVER with you BEFORE I SUFFER; For I say to you, I shall EAT IT NO MORE UNTIL it is FULFILLED in the KINGDOM of YAH.
:17 And He TOOK a CUP, and when HE HAD GIVEN THANKS, He SAID, TAKE THIS AND DIVIDE and DISTRIBUTE IT among yourselves."
THE HOLY COMMUNION - THE BREAD:
Luke 22:19 "Then He TOOK a LOAF of BREAD and when HE HAD GIVEN THANKS, He BROKE IT and GAVE IT TO THEM SAYING, THIS IS MY BODY WHICH IS GIVEN for YOU; DO THIS IN REMEMBRANCE of ME."
THE WINE:
Luke 22:20 "And in LIKE MANNER He TOOK the CUP AFTER SUPPER, saying, THIS CUP is the NEW COVENANT RATIFIED in MY BLOOD, which is SHED AND POURED OUT FOR YOU."
:21 But behold, The HAND OF HIM WHO IS NOW ENGAGED IN BETRAYING ME is WITH ME ON THE TABLE.
:22 For the Son of Man is GOING AS IT HAS BEEN DETERMINED and APPOINTED, but WOE to that MAN BY WHOM HE IS BETRAYED AND DELIVERED UP!.
:23 And they began to INQUIRE AMONG THEMSELVES WHICH OF THEM it was WHO WAS ABOUT to DO THIS."
MESSIAH WARNED PETER of SATAN'S INTENTIONS:
Satan kept asking that all of them be given to him to be sifted:
Luke 22:31 "Simon, Simon, [Peter], LISTEN! SATAN HAS ASKED EXCESSIVELY that ALL OF YOU be GIVEN UP TO HIM [OUT of the POWER and KEEPING OF YAHWEH] that HE MIGHT SIFT ALL OF YOU LIKE GRAIN." [Job 1:6-12; Amos 9:9].
Peter would fall away but would TURN AGAIN:
Luke 22:32 "But I HAVE PRAYED ESPECIALLY for YOU PETER, that YOUR OWN FAITH MAY NOT FAIL; and WHEN YOU YOURSELF HAVE TURNED AGAIN, STRENGTHEN and ESTABLISH YOUR BRETHREN."
Peter's ANSWER:
Luke 22:33 "And Simon Peter said to Him, Messiah, I am READY to GO WITH YOU BOTH TO PRISON AND TO DEATH."
:34 But Yahshua said, I TELL you PETER, before a SINGLE COCK CROW this DAY, YOU WILL THREE TIMES utterly DENY THAT YOU KNOW Me."
:39 And He CAME OUT and WENT as WAS HIS HABIT, to the Mount of Olives and the disciples FOLLOWED Him.
O Father, we will worship You and You ALONE ... we will turn our heads towards You - fix our eyes on You and praise Your holy name ... for You are EXALTED ABOVE ALL ELSE ... Your NAME AND YOUR WORD STANDS INTO ALL ETERNITY ... Your MERCY and LOVING KINDNESS ENDURE FOREVER ... You, CREATOR of ALL THINGS are our YAHWEH God ... our LOVING HEAVENLY FATHER ... PRAISE YOUR WONDERFUL REDEEMING NAME - in YAHSHUA MESSIAH'S NAME. Amen. (from Psalms 135; 136 and 138).
BLOOD AND WATER (The PASSOVER feast also KNOWN as the UNLEAVENED BREAD FEAST)
The Passover feast is also known as the UNLEAVENED BREAD FEAST because it is a PICTURE of MESSIAH YAHSHUA as the PURE UNCONTAMINATED UNLEAVENED BREAD from ABOVE.
EVERYTHING HAPPENED on YAHWEH'S SET TIMES:
1. SELECTION of the PASS OVER LAMBS:
10th day of NISSAN (17 April 2019):
On the 10th of NISSAN (corresponding to the 17th of April 2019) the Passover-lambs of the entire Jewish nation were selected. A lamb for each household without spot or blemish.
Ash Wednesday, Palm Sunday, Good Friday (or Easter Friday), Easter Sunday, Easter Monday were all ADD ON'S into the NEW CHRISTIAN RELIGION of CONSTANTINE - the roman king (emperor) in 325 AD.
Deception again - Lamb selection day was replaced with "Palm Sunday":
The 10th day of NISSAN known as "Lamb selection day" was REPLACED with "PALM SUNDAY" by the Roman Catholic Church - to take the focus off of the real Messiah - focusing on the "palms" and the "SUNDAY" instead [Sunday - a pagan-occult and Satanic Sabbath in honor of the sun-god].
THE LAMB OF YAHWEH GOD:
Exactly on the 10th of Nissan - Yahshua rode into Jerusalem - the exact same day, the entire Jewish nation selected their Passover lambs. Symbolically, Yahshua rode into Jerusalem as the heavenly Passover lamb to be slain 4 days later - on the exact day that the Passover lambs all over Israel were to be slain.
Ex. 12:1 "Yahweh said to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt. :2 THIS MONTH (NISSAN) shall be to you the BEGINNING OF MONTHS, the FIRST MONTH of the YEAR to YOU."
:3 Tell ALL the CONGREGATION of Israel, ON THE TENTH of THIS MONTH they shall TAKE EVERY MAN A LAMB, according to the size of the family of which HE IS THE FATHER, a LAMB for each house.
:4 And if the household is too small to CONSUME the LAMB, let him and his NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR TAKE it ACCORDING to the NUMBER of PERSONS, every man ACCORDING to WHAT EACH CAN EAT SHALL MAKE YOUR COUNT for the LAMB.
:5 YOUR LAMB shall be WITHOUT BLEMISH, a MALE OF THE FIRST YEAR; you shall TAKE it from the SHEEP or the GOATS. [1 Peter 1:19,20].
:6 And you shall KEEP IT UNTIL the FOURTEENTH DAY of the SAME MONTH (NISSAN) and the WHOLE CONGREGATION of Israel SHALL EACH KILL HIS LAMB in the EVENING."
250,000+ LAMBS SLAINED on PASSOVER:
According to the Jewish historian Josephus, during that years, a staggering two hundred and fifty thousand (250,000) lambs PLUS were selected to be slain on Passover day. A Day that are remembered as the RIVER of BLOOD and WATER DAY.
A RIVER of BLOOD and WATER:
Imagine slaying 250 000 lambs ...According to Josephus, there were in those days - on that one day of Passover - so MUCH BLOOD that the blood became so thick that it would not move. The PRIESTS constantly one after the other and in rotation, poured WATER to keep the BLOOD FLOWING as it continuously flowed from the side of the Temple. There was literally a RIVER OF BLOOD and WATER flowing [from the side of the Temple], a "PICTURE" of the BLOOD AND WATER coming from MESSIAH as the soldier pierced His side to make sure He was deceased.
YAHWEH'S CALENDAR of TIME:
DAYS = from SUNSET to next SUNSET:
Yahweh's calendar of time does not work the same as the Gregorian calendar. The Gregorian time calendar starts a new day at midnight [again a Roman invention and worldly accepted standard].
From the very beginning, Yahweh's days of Creation started at sunset ... Gen.1:8 "... And there was EVENING and there was MORNING, a SECOND DAY" Gen. 1:13 "And there was EVENING and there was MORNING, a THIRD DAY ... "
EVENING (Sunset) begins the day and the next sunset ends the day. Yahweh's seventh day Sabbath ALWAYS starts on Friday's at sunset and ends Saturday's at sunset.
For that reason, PASSOVER - the 14th of Nissan starts on the 14th at sunset and ends at sunset the 15th. ( 21/22 April 2019).
Yahshua was ARRESTED the NIGHT of the 14th/15th when PASSOVER HAD ALREADY BEGAN - to bring us to the 15th of Nissan. DAYTIME of the 15th of Nissan [BEFORE SUNSET] was USED to SLAIN the LAMBS and it was during these slaughtering of the Passover Lambs that our SAVIOR WAS CRUCIFIED DURING the DAY of the 15th before SUNSET.
The RELIGIOUS JEWS wanted Him to be BURIED for at SUNSET 15/16th would START UNLEAVENED BREAD - a Sabbath (first day of the feast) a SEVEN DAY FEAST.
Mark 15:32 "Let the Anointed Messiah, the KING OF ISRAEL, come down from the tree, that we may see it and trust in and rely on Him and adhere to Him! Those who were CRUCIFIED WITH Him also REVILED AND REPROACHED HIM [speaking abusively, harshly and insolently].
:33 And when the SIXTH HOUR (ABOUT MIDDAY) had come, there was A DARKNESS OVER THE WHOLE LAND UNTIL THE NINTH HOUR (about three o'clock).
:34 And at the NINTH HOUR, YAHSHUA CRIED with a LOUD VOICE , ELOI, ELOI, LAMA SABACHTANI - which means My Yah, My Yah, WHY HAVE You FORSAKEN Me [deserting Me and leaving Me helpless and abandoned?]
:37 And Yahshua UTTERED A LOUD CRY, and BREATHED out HIS LIFE.
:38 And the CURTAIN of the HOLY OF HOLIES of the temple was TORN IN TWO from TOP to BOTTOM."
John 19:31 "Since it was the day of PREPARATION (of the Sabbath - first day of the Unleavend Bread Feast) in order to PREVENT the BODIES HANGING on the TREE on the SABBATH - for THAT SABBATH was a VERY SOLEMN and IMPORTANT ONE - the Jews requested Pilate to have the LEGS BROKEN (to enhance death) and the BODIES TAKEN AWAY.
:32 So the SOLDIERS CAME and BROKE the LEGS of the FIRST ONE, and of the OTHER WHO HAD BEEN CRUCIFIED with YAHSHUA.
:33 But when they CAME TO YAHSHUA and THEY SAW that HE WAS ALREADY DEAD, they DID NOT BREAK HIS LEGS.
:34 But ONE of the SOLDIERS PIERCED HIS SIDE with a SPEAR, and IMMEDIATELY BLOOD AND WATER CAME (FLOWED) OUT.
Abba, O thank You for Your SON. Thank You YAHSHUAfor what You DID FOR US - for MAKING the WAY for us to RECEIVE ETERNAL LIFE with You - for DESTROYING the WORKS the DEVIL HAS DONE.
O ABBA, open up the eyes and ears of Your people - help us to COME IN LINE WITH YOUR TIMES and YOUR SEASONS - in YAHSHUA our wonderful MESSIAH - our REDEEMER'S NAME. AMEN.
