The LORD our Passover

The LORD our Passover

By the leading and unchion of the Holy Spirit, which is the ontological essence of Christ's own Spirit within me do I write the following. With all humility, in a humbol attempt on my part, to bring to light the hidden meaning of the Passover which had its beginnings before Genesis 3:20-23. Where it is recorded; “Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she is now the mother of all living. To Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them (mans first blood covering of his new nature of sin and death brought about by a rebirthing into the rule of Satan, in strife and deception). And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever. Therefore the LORD God sent him out from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.”

In the New Covenant we hear that the LORD, Christ Jesus had been the offering of sacrifice from before the foundations of the world were laid. In Genesis 1-3 is the foundation of the world laid, now in a type of darkness because it is under the shadow of sin and death from the time on out, in the knowledge of the tree of good and evil. We also find that those who have chosen Him as their LORD had their names already written in the book of Life, from before this foundation was laid. And that those same people will be the ones to open the understanding of all things prioraly hidden from sight though they be in the sight of all. (Deut 29:29, Mat. 13:35, 12:34, Luke 6:48-49, John 17:24; 1Cor. 3:11-12, Eph. 1:4, 2:20, 1Tim. 6:19, 2Tim. 2:19) It is from this point of veiw and consideration that I bring out the following revelation to you. This revelation is found in the collection of both the old and the new Covenants as they are the storehouses of revelation, of all things pertaining and the revealing of Christ.

For a full and correct understanding in what has been a mystery or secret of God in the term, “the LORD our Passover” will require a beginning in Genesis and our learning of Him from that point forward (the question asked of us all as stated in Mat. 11:29). God or Elohim (is a plural word, having more than one part but still being one at the same time, the supreme being or angel) in Genesis 1:1, where it means: of strong authority, it also carries the shepherds staff on the shoulder in its pictorial expression, this yoke is the binding of two as being one in covenant by an oath, where one party acquires the character of the stronger party, Master and Father. Who is Yehovah (God) throughout the scriptures and Jehovah (YHWH) is the LORD form the beginning on. He is the every present and ever revealing one of Exodus 3:14 in the “I Am that I AM” Who was revealed to Moses. 

In Genesis 3:15 we find the first promise given to mankind through Adam and woman, the promised seed of woman which is carried by all from that moment onward to the end of the ages or time. This seed will become the seed, Jesus, as the promised Redeemer and through Who Salvation will come for those who receive His Light and Life restored within them, as promised in Gen. 3:15. It is also in Genesis 3 where we first encounter God covering man and woman with the skin of an animal, to do so required first a sacrificing or the letting of the animals blood in which life is found, as the sacrifice which covers. This is in verse 21 where it states this in the KJV; “ To Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them.” in both the CEV and ESV it states this; “the LORD God made clothes (garments) out of animal skins for the man and his wife.” 

Then after the flood and after God's covenant promise to Abram and his seed, in chapter 12:1-3, where God promises that the families (nations) of the world who would trust Him as Abram trusted will become Abram's heirs (seeds of trust and faith). We find in chapter 14 and verse 18 where it states this in the CEV; “King Melchizedek of Salem was the priest of God Most High. He brought out some bread and wine and said to Abram: "I bless you in the name of God Most High, Creator of heaven and earth. All praise belongs to God Most High for helping you defeat your enemies." Along with the first mention of bread and wine as an offering of praise we have a purely gentile phrase used, a “Priest of God Most High.” This distinguishes what God is being the priest's Master. Where bread is for the body and wine for the blood of that body used as substitutes, for the body of Abram who unselfishly offered his physical death in battle for the life of the ransomed people (the first example of Christ Jesus' own offering).

Then we have Abraham and Isaac catching a wild ram caught in a thicket and sacrifice it upon the alter in place of Isaac, in Gen. 22:7-8. Then we come to the time just before Israel's exodus from bondage and extreme slavery in Egypt, where Egypt is a type of mans false religion and the evils of the world. In Exodus 12:3-5, 21 then in chapter 29 we find that to this they were to add the meal offering from which bread is made in verses 39 through 41. Also in Exodus 12 we find a statement from which our title is taken in verse 27 but to keep the continuity I will start with verses 23-30; “The LORD will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when He sees the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side posts, the LORD will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in to your houses to smite you. You shall observe this thing for an ordinance for you and to your sons forever. And it shall come to pass, when you have come to the land which the LORD will give you, according as He has promised, that you shall keep this service. And it shall come to pass, when your children shall ask you, What means this service? That you shall tell them, It is the sacrifice of the LORD'S passover, Who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when He smote the Egyptians, and delivered our houses. And the people bowed the head and worshiped. And the children of Israel went away, and did as the LORD had commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they. It came to pass, that at midnight the LORD smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne to the firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon; and all the firstborn of cattle. And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and all his servants, and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt; for there was not a house where there was not one dead.” Still in chapter 12 looking back at verse 18 we find this picking up at verse 17 through 21; “You shall observe the feast of unleavened bread; for in this selfsame day have I brought your armies out of the land of Egypt: therefore shall you observe this day in your generations by an ordinance forever. In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at even, you shall eat unleavened bread, until the one and twentieth day of the month at even. Seven days shall there be no leaven found in your houses: for whoever eats that which is leavened, even that soul shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he be a stranger, or born in the land. You shall eat nothing leavened; in all your habitations shall you eat unleavened bread. Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said to them, Draw out and take you a lamb according to your families, and kill the passover.” So even here we have both bread, blood and the lamb tied together in the feast.
