00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:21.800
Happy Passover! I want to share some, just not ideas, but some important biblical prophecies

2
00:00:21.800 --> 00:00:28.880
that show us how Jesus fulfilled the Passover dinner. It's an important week for the Jewish

3
00:00:28.880 --> 00:00:34.280
people and it's their time of year where they sit down as a family and they systematically

4
00:00:34.280 --> 00:00:42.200
go through and remember the supernatural deliverance that they experienced as a people. And what's

5
00:00:42.200 --> 00:00:48.800
exciting is when we can go into all of these Old Testament Bible prophecies and then we

6
00:00:48.800 --> 00:00:55.220
can look at how Jesus fulfilled them in the new. This is from a website called Jews for

7
00:00:55.220 --> 00:01:01.860
Jesus and I want to give them credit for this study and I'm going to link that down below

8
00:01:01.860 --> 00:01:07.620
so that if you really want to go more in depth you can look at it. But today with Restoring

9
00:01:07.620 --> 00:01:15.500
Word we're just going to look in a nutshell how Jesus fulfilled the Passover. Now he didn't

10
00:01:15.500 --> 00:01:22.420
just fulfill the Passover, right? He filled dozens and dozens of prophecies but this Passover

11
00:01:22.420 --> 00:01:31.060
dinner is very significant and so I just kind of want to break them down one by one.

12
00:01:31.060 --> 00:01:37.620
First off, the importance of the concept of the Passover lamb. Now I don't know about

13
00:01:37.620 --> 00:01:42.300
you but when I was a little girl I grew up watching the Ten Commandments with Charlton

14
00:01:42.300 --> 00:01:48.460
Heston. We watched it every Easter and it just kind of became a family tradition. And

15
00:01:48.460 --> 00:01:55.100
I remember in the scene where they were preparing to leave and God told them that they were

16
00:01:55.100 --> 00:02:00.860
to prepare a lamb quickly and go and it was going to sustain them as they went through

17
00:02:00.860 --> 00:02:09.699
the desert. This reference actually to the Passover lamb comes from Exodus 12 starting

18
00:02:09.699 --> 00:02:14.300
in verse 1 and it goes all the way down through 51 but I'm not going to read all that. I'm

19
00:02:14.300 --> 00:02:19.540
just going to talk about the reference here. The animals you choose must be one-year-old

20
00:02:19.540 --> 00:02:23.820
males without any defect and you must take them from the sheep and the goats, take care

21
00:02:23.820 --> 00:02:28.420
of them until the 14th day of the month when all the members of the community of Israel

22
00:02:28.420 --> 00:02:33.860
must slaughter them at twilight. Then they are to take some of the blood and they're

23
00:02:33.860 --> 00:02:40.180
put it on the sides of the doorposts of the house where they eat the lambs. Now this was

24
00:02:40.180 --> 00:02:46.060
very significant, okay? And you say, well, how was that fulfilled? Well, you know in

25
00:02:46.060 --> 00:02:52.100
1 Peter 1 verses 18 and 19, you know that you were redeemed but with the precious blood

26
00:02:52.100 --> 00:02:59.180
like that of a lamb without defect or without spot, the blood of the Messiah. Now remember

27
00:02:59.180 --> 00:03:03.140
they're going to eat this Passover lamb, right? But they're going to take the blood of the

28
00:03:03.140 --> 00:03:10.580
lamb, they're going to put it over the door and then when the death angel comes through,

29
00:03:10.580 --> 00:03:18.940
that death angel is going to recognize this is the house of the Jewish people and the

30
00:03:18.940 --> 00:03:24.660
death angel will pass. And it was devastating because it was like the final thing they were

31
00:03:24.660 --> 00:03:34.740
saying to Pharaoh, you've got to let us go. You see the blood of Jesus is powerful and

32
00:03:34.740 --> 00:03:40.380
when we pray in the name of Jesus and we pray and we use the blood of Jesus covers us. What

33
00:03:40.380 --> 00:03:47.380
does that mean? That means because of who redeemed us and paid the price for us, there's

34
00:03:47.380 --> 00:03:54.660
spiritual authority in what Jesus did. He is our Passover lamb. There's also another

35
00:03:54.660 --> 00:04:02.140
reference to it but this is in Jeremiah 31.31 and it also talked about it again in Luke

36
00:04:02.140 --> 00:04:09.820
22.10 and I'm going to give you more references to that later. All right, second main reason

37
00:04:09.900 --> 00:04:19.339
we know. David described Yeshua or Jesus' death in detail 1,000 years before it happened. I mean

38
00:04:19.339 --> 00:04:25.300
in what other religion did you have someone in the Old Testament prophesy and then it was fulfilled

39
00:04:25.300 --> 00:04:35.020
in the new? This is interesting here, okay? It was prophesied in Psalms 22.2 then again it goes

40
00:04:35.020 --> 00:04:41.620
through 8 and 9 and then a little bit further in verses 15 through 19. This is Psalm 22.

41
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:03.900
Pointed my heart is like wax melting within my innards.

42
00:05:04.100 --> 00:05:06.700
They pierce my hands and feet.

43
00:05:07.900 --> 00:05:09.500
I can count all my bones.

44
00:05:09.500 --> 00:05:14.500
They stare and they gape at me and they divide my clothes among them

45
00:05:14.900 --> 00:05:17.100
and cast lots for my garment.

46
00:05:18.500 --> 00:05:19.600
That is verbatim.

47
00:05:19.600 --> 00:05:23.000
What happened to Jesus in Matthew 27.

48
00:05:23.200 --> 00:05:23.700
Okay,

49
00:05:24.600 --> 00:05:25.900
in Matthew 27.

50
00:05:25.900 --> 00:05:28.600
That's exactly what Jesus said on the cross.

51
00:05:29.200 --> 00:05:32.900
They he felt and looked abandoned.

52
00:05:32.900 --> 00:05:36.700
He didn't understand fully, you know, you knew he was going to the son of

53
00:05:36.700 --> 00:05:39.700
God and he knew he was dying for the sins of the world.

54
00:05:40.500 --> 00:05:43.700
But on the other hand there, you know, you had to be

55
00:05:45.200 --> 00:05:49.000
horrible knowing that you were enduring this and yet because he loves

56
00:05:49.000 --> 00:05:52.900
us, so he was willing to do that for you and for me.

57
00:05:55.300 --> 00:05:58.000
When they nailed his his hands to the cross.

58
00:05:58.000 --> 00:06:02.500
It was fulfillment when they gambled gambled for his garments.

59
00:06:02.500 --> 00:06:06.400
It was fulfillment and you see my God my God.

60
00:06:06.400 --> 00:06:09.000
Why have you forsaken me in Matthew 27?

61
00:06:10.200 --> 00:06:12.600
See God is the Alpha the Omega.

62
00:06:12.700 --> 00:06:14.400
He is the beginning in the end.

63
00:06:15.000 --> 00:06:20.400
The New Testament is fulfillment of the old and and and he's still, you

64
00:06:20.400 --> 00:06:23.900
know, we're still looking forward to how he's going to fulfill the new.

65
00:06:25.500 --> 00:06:27.300
All right reason number three.

66
00:06:28.400 --> 00:06:32.900
And this comes out of Isaiah 53 and I would say out of all of the Old

67
00:06:32.900 --> 00:06:34.600
Testament chapters.

68
00:06:35.100 --> 00:06:40.200
This is one that really resonates with me.

69
00:06:40.300 --> 00:06:45.200
I read a book called understanding Jewish objections to Jesus by Michael

70
00:06:45.200 --> 00:06:45.400
L.

71
00:06:45.400 --> 00:06:52.200
Brown and Michael Brown is one of my my kind of go-to scholars and he

72
00:06:52.200 --> 00:06:55.200
really broke this down in Isaiah 53 here.

73
00:06:55.200 --> 00:06:58.200
And I think this is the chapter that a lot of Jewish people kind of

74
00:06:58.200 --> 00:06:58.600
go.

75
00:07:00.900 --> 00:07:02.400
That's pretty convincing.

76
00:07:03.300 --> 00:07:07.100
Let me share it with you, but he was wounded because of our crimes.

77
00:07:07.100 --> 00:07:09.000
This is out of the CJB version.

78
00:07:09.100 --> 00:07:11.900
Okay, Isaiah 53 starting in verse 5.

79
00:07:12.600 --> 00:07:17.100
He was wounded because of our crimes crushed because of our sins the

80
00:07:17.100 --> 00:07:20.000
disciplining that makes us whole fell on him.

81
00:07:21.100 --> 00:07:22.900
And by his bruises, we are healed.

82
00:07:22.900 --> 00:07:26.100
We all like sheep went astray.

83
00:07:26.700 --> 00:07:33.800
We turned each one to his own way and yet Adonai laid on him the guilt

84
00:07:34.500 --> 00:07:35.400
of all of us.

85
00:07:36.400 --> 00:07:38.700
Though mistreated he was submissive.

86
00:07:38.700 --> 00:07:42.600
He did not open his mouth, you know, so many times even through the whole

87
00:07:42.600 --> 00:07:44.300
study of the Passover week.

88
00:07:44.700 --> 00:07:46.900
He did not respond.

89
00:07:47.600 --> 00:07:49.300
He didn't answer back.

90
00:07:49.800 --> 00:07:54.600
Like a lamb to be led to slaughtered like sheep silent before its shears.

91
00:07:54.600 --> 00:07:56.400
He did not open his mouth.

92
00:07:57.200 --> 00:08:03.700
Now that was we see that fulfilled in Matthew 27 starting in verse 12 and

93
00:08:03.700 --> 00:08:07.200
while he was accused by the ruling Kohanim the elders.

94
00:08:07.200 --> 00:08:09.600
He did not answer when Pilate said to him.

95
00:08:09.600 --> 00:08:13.500
Don't you hear how many things they testify against you Yeshua didn't

96
00:08:13.500 --> 00:08:14.000
answer.

97
00:08:15.800 --> 00:08:18.000
Do you know it's also interesting?

98
00:08:18.900 --> 00:08:24.300
When Jesus died on the cross the temple veil that separated the Holy of

99
00:08:24.300 --> 00:08:29.300
Holies from there's an outer court inner court Holy of Holies when that

100
00:08:29.300 --> 00:08:35.100
veil was rent in two and symbolically what that meant is now Jesus has

101
00:08:35.100 --> 00:08:39.799
died on the cross and we now because of the blood of Jesus and what he

102
00:08:39.799 --> 00:08:41.200
did on the cross.

103
00:08:41.900 --> 00:08:46.800
We now have access because of what he did for us.

104
00:08:47.400 --> 00:08:52.800
That and Mark 1538 the curtain of the temple was torn into from top to

105
00:08:52.800 --> 00:08:56.300
bottom and when the centurion who stood there in front of Jesus saw how

106
00:08:56.300 --> 00:08:56.700
he died.

107
00:08:56.700 --> 00:09:01.200
He said surely this man is the son of God.

108
00:09:01.900 --> 00:09:07.700
You see it when you go and you see Old Testament prophet hundreds and

109
00:09:07.700 --> 00:09:12.100
hundreds and hundreds of years ago, and then you learn how he fulfilled

110
00:09:12.100 --> 00:09:16.300
it in the new but specifically how he fulfilled it during Passover week.

111
00:09:17.000 --> 00:09:18.300
Who else could do that?

112
00:09:18.500 --> 00:09:23.200
I mean really who else could who else could specifically do that except

113
00:09:23.200 --> 00:09:24.600
for the Messiah?

114
00:09:26.100 --> 00:09:29.700
Fourth reason Messiah would come riding on a donkey.

115
00:09:29.700 --> 00:09:29.900
Now.

116
00:09:29.900 --> 00:09:31.600
This is Zechariah 9 9.

117
00:09:31.700 --> 00:09:39.600
Okay, and I think if you're familiar with with this week, which is, you

118
00:09:39.600 --> 00:09:44.000
know, the Palm Sunday, you probably heard the scripture this week rejoice

119
00:09:44.000 --> 00:09:48.900
greatly o daughter of Zion shout aloud o daughter of Jerusalem behold

120
00:09:48.900 --> 00:09:54.200
your king is coming to you righteous and having a salvation.

121
00:09:54.600 --> 00:09:59.700
He is humble mounted on a donkey on a colt on a full of a donkey that

122
00:09:59.700 --> 00:10:00.000
is.

123
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:04.200
So interesting that Zechariah, another prophet,

124
00:10:04.200 --> 00:10:07.800
would prophesy how the Messiah would come into Jerusalem.

125
00:10:07.800 --> 00:10:11.400
Do you know that when the British leader

126
00:10:11.400 --> 00:10:16.400
came into Jerusalem, I believe it was like in the 30s,

127
00:10:16.840 --> 00:10:19.360
he was so concerned about that,

128
00:10:19.360 --> 00:10:21.120
that there was a specific way

129
00:10:21.120 --> 00:10:23.160
on how he would enter into Jerusalem.

130
00:10:23.160 --> 00:10:25.920
He didn't wanna say, you know, I'm a Messiah.

131
00:10:25.920 --> 00:10:27.500
He was just saying, we're coming in

132
00:10:27.620 --> 00:10:29.660
and we're taking possession of Jerusalem.

133
00:10:30.980 --> 00:10:34.420
Allenby, and I'm just doing that off the top of my head.

134
00:10:34.420 --> 00:10:36.220
When Allenby came into Jerusalem,

135
00:10:36.220 --> 00:10:37.860
he would not come in on a donkey.

136
00:10:37.860 --> 00:10:38.700
Why?

137
00:10:38.700 --> 00:10:41.820
Because these scriptures are significant.

138
00:10:41.820 --> 00:10:43.180
Jesus did that.

139
00:10:43.180 --> 00:10:45.220
He is the Messiah.

140
00:10:45.220 --> 00:10:46.880
He came in on that donkey.

141
00:10:46.880 --> 00:10:49.260
They were waving those palm branches,

142
00:10:49.260 --> 00:10:51.460
saying, blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.

143
00:10:51.460 --> 00:10:52.300
And guess what?

144
00:10:52.300 --> 00:10:53.860
They also did that when they brought

145
00:10:53.860 --> 00:10:56.560
the Ark of the Covenant to the Temple Mount.

146
00:10:57.620 --> 00:10:58.820
Yup.

147
00:10:58.820 --> 00:11:01.660
They weren't just, you know, saying something random.

148
00:11:01.660 --> 00:11:03.040
It was purposeful.

149
00:11:03.040 --> 00:11:05.220
And when the people were doing that

150
00:11:05.220 --> 00:11:08.900
and they were laying their garments before Jesus,

151
00:11:08.900 --> 00:11:10.940
they were saying who he was.

152
00:11:10.940 --> 00:11:14.260
And they were saying that he is Messiah.

153
00:11:14.260 --> 00:11:15.220
He is the Holy One.

154
00:11:15.220 --> 00:11:19.280
And you know, the religious who couldn't see who Jesus was,

155
00:11:19.280 --> 00:11:20.120
they didn't get it.

156
00:11:20.120 --> 00:11:21.660
They didn't understand it.

157
00:11:21.660 --> 00:11:24.220
You know, Jesus hadn't died on the cross yet.

158
00:11:24.220 --> 00:11:26.880
Not fully understanding what he's doing.

159
00:11:28.100 --> 00:11:29.700
We see it now.

160
00:11:29.700 --> 00:11:33.100
Because we can go back and refer to the prophet Zechariah.

161
00:11:33.100 --> 00:11:34.180
All right.

162
00:11:34.180 --> 00:11:37.260
Now, this last one is kind of a humdinger.

163
00:11:37.260 --> 00:11:38.300
It's a good one.

164
00:11:39.320 --> 00:11:42.280
And that the Messiah would be resurrected.

165
00:11:45.940 --> 00:11:46.820
Think about that.

166
00:11:48.020 --> 00:11:53.020
What other spiritual leader that you know of was resurrected?

167
00:11:53.160 --> 00:11:56.760
I mean, guys, it all comes down to the resurrection

168
00:11:56.800 --> 00:11:57.960
and eternal life.

169
00:11:58.900 --> 00:12:01.160
Because that's what we get because of Jesus.

170
00:12:01.160 --> 00:12:03.560
Because of Jesus, we know eternally

171
00:12:03.560 --> 00:12:05.720
we will always be in heaven.

172
00:12:05.720 --> 00:12:10.280
This one is actually from Psalm 16, starting in verse two.

173
00:12:10.280 --> 00:12:12.960
For you will not abandon my soul, Sheol.

174
00:12:12.960 --> 00:12:16.700
You will not allow your Holy One to undergo decay.

175
00:12:16.700 --> 00:12:18.920
This is from Psalm 16, 10.

176
00:12:19.880 --> 00:12:22.440
And the reference here, this is actually,

177
00:12:22.440 --> 00:12:25.520
the reference is in the New Testament, Acts 2, 29,

178
00:12:25.520 --> 00:12:28.180
starting in verse 31 and 32.

179
00:12:28.180 --> 00:12:32.260
You can be sure that the patriarch David

180
00:12:32.260 --> 00:12:34.540
wasn't referring to himself.

181
00:12:34.540 --> 00:12:36.300
For he died and was buried.

182
00:12:37.280 --> 00:12:39.320
And his tomb is still here among us.

183
00:12:39.320 --> 00:12:40.880
David was looking to the future.

184
00:12:40.880 --> 00:12:43.600
And speaking of the Messiah's resurrection,

185
00:12:43.600 --> 00:12:48.120
he is saying that God would not leave him among the dead

186
00:12:48.120 --> 00:12:50.800
or allow his body to rot in the grave.

187
00:12:50.800 --> 00:12:53.680
For God raised Jesus from the dead.

188
00:12:53.680 --> 00:12:55.960
And we are all witnesses of this.

189
00:12:57.720 --> 00:12:59.400
Jesus did not see decay.

190
00:12:59.400 --> 00:13:04.200
Yes, he died, he descended, and then he rose again.

191
00:13:04.200 --> 00:13:06.360
And when he rose again,

192
00:13:06.360 --> 00:13:09.640
he rose as a confirmation of who he was.

193
00:13:09.640 --> 00:13:10.620
And think about it.

194
00:13:10.620 --> 00:13:13.480
One of the most interesting studies in the Bible

195
00:13:13.480 --> 00:13:15.880
isn't just the fact that he rose from the dead,

196
00:13:15.880 --> 00:13:18.680
but there were people who saw him.

197
00:13:18.680 --> 00:13:21.360
They saw his resurrected body.

198
00:13:21.360 --> 00:13:26.360
And it was such an earth-shaking experience for these men

199
00:13:27.840 --> 00:13:30.440
that they obeyed the Great Commission,

200
00:13:30.440 --> 00:13:32.360
and they went into all the world,

201
00:13:32.360 --> 00:13:34.680
and they preached the gospel,

202
00:13:34.680 --> 00:13:37.860
and the world would never, ever be the same.

203
00:13:37.860 --> 00:13:41.880
You know, Jesus is still confirming that he is alive today

204
00:13:41.880 --> 00:13:46.460
and how he does that, I believe, and what I've seen,

205
00:13:46.460 --> 00:13:51.200
is that when you see the power of God in someone's life,

206
00:13:52.040 --> 00:13:53.240
and you see them that they're whole,

207
00:13:53.240 --> 00:13:55.440
and you see them that they're healed,

208
00:13:55.440 --> 00:13:57.700
and you see them that they're delivered,

209
00:13:58.720 --> 00:14:03.720
and you see the power of God operating in their life,

210
00:14:03.720 --> 00:14:06.120
then you know God's real.

211
00:14:06.120 --> 00:14:09.760
It's not some sort of mind game or mental ascent thing.

212
00:14:09.760 --> 00:14:12.580
It's the power of God fully in manifestation

213
00:14:12.580 --> 00:14:16.720
to restore your broken life.

214
00:14:16.720 --> 00:14:20.080
Last week, we talked about restoring a vehicle.

215
00:14:20.080 --> 00:14:21.960
You know, God takes things that are broken,

216
00:14:21.960 --> 00:14:25.160
and bruised, and crushed, and he makes them new again.

217
00:14:26.680 --> 00:14:29.120
And the only reason why we are able

218
00:14:29.120 --> 00:14:32.300
to be restored spiritually,

219
00:14:32.300 --> 00:14:35.480
and then that affects our bodies, it affects our mind,

220
00:14:35.480 --> 00:14:39.540
it affects our spirit, when he did all of that,

221
00:14:39.540 --> 00:14:44.200
he did that for us so that we could have abundant life

222
00:14:44.200 --> 00:14:45.980
in the here and now.

223
00:14:45.980 --> 00:14:47.820
We can be free from bondage.

224
00:14:47.820 --> 00:14:49.560
We can be free from addiction.

225
00:14:50.080 --> 00:14:51.880
We can be free from sin.

226
00:14:51.880 --> 00:14:56.880
Jesus is real, and his spirit is real,

227
00:14:57.920 --> 00:15:00.120
and his power can operate.

228
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:05.600
in your life. Lord I just pray for every listener right now within the sound of my voice

229
00:15:06.560 --> 00:15:13.360
and God I ask as I speak these words to my listeners today that they would experience

230
00:15:13.360 --> 00:15:21.280
the reality of tangible reality of Jesus. Holy Spirit come to each listener now and fulfill

231
00:15:21.280 --> 00:15:32.880
every need. God help them know you and experience freedom and restoration in you

232
00:15:33.680 --> 00:15:43.040
because of the blood of Jesus in the name of Jesus. Thank you for listening today.

233
00:15:43.040 --> 00:15:50.800
Please share this with someone who you think might need it and I appreciate your time. Have a good day.
