The LORD our Passover


I left off with this statement, Though the scriptures do seem to point to any other period of Israel's rebirthing, which could be at the end of the sixth period. I want to say this about it, many people who are either literalist's or futurists believe this statement to be true because of the language of certain texts within the OT writings. What is not perceived by them is this, with God all things are possible and with each dispensations period of His own making and design there are terms and conditions that must be fulfilled by man. These terms and conditions maybe known or unknown but still they are limits or measurements built into each by His design. Most people I have read believe that there are no more then seven or at the most eight dispensational periods for man to pass through. And those who study numerology will stress the importance of both the number seven as God's number and eight as the number of perfect completion. Eight then being the number for Eternity in which the Spirit God rules and Lives.
With the Passover, mankinds return to soveriengty is introduced in the death, burial, resurrect and ascension of Jesus and His partnering with us and us returned to being one in Him. In the Passover meal and His return in the person of the Holy Spirit, the design of God's secret begins to unfold in those who become His righteousness or rightous ones. This is seen in the wall of faith in Hebrews 11 which lists those of them who had gone on, in Israels past history. In the meal is found our being betrothed to the LORD as our husbandman, in the essence of the Last Supper. Thou these secrets are hidden far and wide from seeking, prying eyes, of the unregenerate man. And remain far reaching beyond our limited understanding and perfected perception of all things Spiritual, the fulness in them still remains a mystery. As Paul states to the Romans in 8:39 and 11:33 and then again to the Ephesians 3:17-21. It is for this reason that God through His Spirit showed Israel through Jesus and then Paul the hidden meaning of marriage. But this was resisted by them (Israel as a nation of set apart people) because of a stony heart of unbelief. This heart of unbelief is caused by the callousness as its covering placed there by the fear of death and sins darkness. For that one reason I will turn to look at the related passages to aid us in our learning of Him.(Mat. 11:29)

First as a means of foundation I want to look at John 6:41 through 69, which states this from the mouth of our LORD because of what Daniel 2:21 states, first Daniel 2:20-23 “Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God forever and ever: for wisdom and might are His: And He changes the times and the seasons: He removes kings,(Job 34:24-29) and sets up kings: He gives wisdom to the wise, and knowledge to them that know (have) understanding: He reveals the deep and secret things: He knows what is in the darkness, and that light dwells with Him. I thank You, and praise You, O God of my fathers, who has given me wisdom and might, and have made known to me now what we desired of You: for You have made known to us the King's matter.” Turning to John 6:41.

The Jews then murmured about Him, because He said, I am the bread which came down from heaven. And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how is it then that He said, I came down from heaven? Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Murmur not among yourselves. No man can come to Me, except the Father which has sent Me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that has heard, and has learned of the Father, comes to Me. (Isaiah 2:3, this is also a well known Hebrew song, 54:13, Jeremiah 31:33-34, Micah 4:2; NT Ephesians 4:21-22, 1Thessalonians 4:9 and Hebrews 8:10-11, 10:16) Not that any man has seen the Father, save He which is of God, He has seen the Father. Verily, verily, I say to you, He that believes Me has everlasting life. I am that bread of Life. Your fathers did eat manna (the what is it? bread that tasted like Almonds, a part of which was placed within a earthen vessel and placed inside to Golden Seat of Mercy with the rod that budded and the tablets of stone) in the wilderness, and are dead. This is the bread which comes down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die. I AM the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live forever: and the bread that I will give is My flesh,(as the sacrificed lamb who's leg was not broken) which I will give for the Life of the world. (Genesis 1:1-3, 4-5, John 1:5, 9, 3:19)

The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us His flesh to eat? Then Jesus said to them, Verily, verily, I say to you, Except you eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink His blood, you have no life in you. Whoever eats My flesh, and drinks My blood, has Eternal Life; and I will raise him up at the last day. For My flesh is meat indeed, and My blood is drink indeed. He that eats My flesh, and drinks My blood, dwells in Me, and I in him. (this being in His name clothed with Him on the outside an Spirit on the inside, has no substance as man perceives Spirit.) As the Living Father has sent Me, and I live by the Father: so He that eats Me, even he shall live by (by reason of, on account of) Me. This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eats of this bread shall live forever. These things said He in the synagogue, as He taught in Capernaum.
