  their house. It was custom to do this on the
  13th day of the first month The Jewish
  Festivals by Hayyim Schauss pg 71-72

  leaven out of their houses in preparation of
  Passover, Yahweh was cleaning the leaven (sin)

The Third Hour

• On the fourteenth day of the first month at the
  third hour of the day (900 am), the high priest
  took the lamb and ascended the altar so he could
  tie the lamb in place on the altar. - The Seven
  Festivals of the Messiah by Edward Chumney pg 45

  hour (Mark 1525)

I thirst

• In Jesus day, vinegar was soured wine, plain
  and unmixed. This was given to Jesus when He
  said, I thirst (John 1928-30). This was

  temple mount. The Passion What Does it
  Mean? by Dr. Bree Keyton

It is Finished

• At the time of the evening sacrifice (300 pm)
  for Passover the high priest ascended the altar,
  cut the throat of the lamb with a knife, and said
  the words, It is finished. The Seven
  Festivals of the Messiah by Edward Chumney pg
  45-46.
• While the high priest was saying It is finished
  (referring to the Passover sacrifice), THE High
  Priest was saying the exact words (referring to
  THE Passover sacrifice). John 1930 and Matthew
  27 46, 50

15
The Name on The Lamb

• During the Passover celebration, the Jewish
  people used a copper tag, bearing the name of
  their family to identify their Passover Lamb. It
  was hung around the lambs neck by a red rope and
  used to identify the lamb after the priests
  sacrificed it. -Rav Yosef L. Boleware
  (Congregation Beit Lechem)

16

• we must remember that the inscription was
  recorded in Latin, Greek and Hebrew. Yshua,
  meaning "salvation" was His name in Hebrew, which
  translates to Iesus in the Greek. In Hebrew "the
  Nazarene" would be written "HaNatzri".
• So the inscription over His head, "Yshua of
  Nazareth, the King of the Jews would have
  appeared as follows
• In Latin "IESVS NAZARENVS REX IUDAEVORVM"
• Without understanding the intricacies of the
  Hebrew language and style of writing, most
  modern-day Believers fail to recognize the
  significance of these translations. The Jewish
  scribes of that day used a method in
  interpretation where the first letters of a
  sequence of words were combined in order to
  understand further meanings, especially if the
  first letters were enlarged for emphasis. -(All
  of the above)-Rav Yosef L. Boleware (Congregation
  Beit Lechem)

17
Another Sign in the Sign

• In Latin "IESVS NAZARENVS REX IUDAEVORVM"
• In Hebrew Yeshua Hanatzri Vemelech Hayehudim
• YHVH
• - (all above) Rav Yosef L. Boleware (Congregation
  Beit Lechem)

• This could be the reason that the chief priests
  said to Pilate, Write not, The King of the Jews
  but that he said, I am King of the Jews. John
  1921
• Why else would they want Pilate to change the
  sign when just a little earlier, they were
  mocking Jesus saying, Hail, King of the Jews!
  Matthew 2729

21
This is My Body

• The afikomen is what Jesus was referring to when
  he said, this is my body (Matthew 2626, Mark
  1422, Luke 2219)

22
The Seder and the Afikomen

• The feast ends with the eating of the afikomon,
  the half-matsoh that the master hid beneath a
  cushion at the very start of the Seder, and
  guarded closely throughout the service, for one
  of the children tried to steal it away from him
  The Jewish Festivals by Hayyim Schauss pg 75
• The Afikomen was also wrapped in a napkin The
  Seven Festivals of the Messiah by Edward Chumney
  pg 43

23
Calming the Stormy Seas

• The Moroccan Jews carry away with them from
  the Seder a piece of the afikomon, the matsoh
  saved for the end of the meal. They carry it as
  a safeguard on ocean voyages and throw it into
  the waters in time of storm, claiming that it has
  powers to calm the sea. The Jewish Festivals
  by Hayyim Schauss pg 67

24
More on the Afikomen

• It was unleavened
• Leaven represents sin (Matthew 166, 11-12)
• Some European Jews believe that the afikomen
  could heal the sick Christ in the Passover

25
The Afikomen wasStriped and Pierced
26
The Crowned Sacrifice

• Following the Passover lamb being killed, it was
  prepared to be cooked. The tractate Pesahim in
  the Mishnah details how the lamb is traditionally
  prepared for cooking. In preparing the lamb, the
  intestines are removed and wrapped around the
  lamb's head. The lamb is called the crowned
  sacrifice. -http//www.hebroots.com/pass_chr.html

27
The Lamb was roasted on a Cross

• In order to make certain the lamb is evenly
  cooked from inside out, a pomegranate stick is
  thrust through the lamb from bottom to top in a
  vertical position. The lamb's carcass is held
  open by placing a cross piece in a horizontal
  position and tying a leg on each end.

28
At same time the Jews were looking so hard for
the Messiah, the Messiah came!

• The highest point in the evolution of the Pesach
  (Passover) came in the last century of the second
  Temple, when the Jews suffered from the heavy
  oppression of the Romans.  It was during this
  period that the Messianic hope flamed up, and in
  the minds of the Jews the deliverance of the
  future became bound up with the first redemption
  in Jewish history the deliverance from
  Egypt...This belief gained added strength in this
  period of Roman occupation and oppression....

29

• ...Jews began to believe that the Messiah
  would be a second Moses and would free the Jews
  the self-same eve, the eve of Passover.  So
  Passover became the festival of the second as
  well as the first redemption in every part of
  the world where Jews lived, especially in
  Palestine, Jewish hearts beat faster on the eve
  of Passover, beat with the hope that this night
  the Jews would be freed from bondage of Rome,
  just as their ancestors were released from
  Egyptian slavery."  -The Jewish Festivals by
  Hayyim Schauss pg 46-47

30
Looking so Hard with Blinders On

• This would mean that during the same time when
  the Jews were looking the hardest for the Messiah
  to come to redeem them, the Messiah DID come to
  redeem them.

31
I am the door by me if any man enter in, he
shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find
pasture. John 109

• The blood of the Passover lamb was put on the
  doorposts for death to pass over their houses.
• When we accept God's perfect sacrifice for our
  sins, we enter into God's family. By faith, we
  walk though the doorway into God's house, through
  the blood of The Lamb (Christ) that is on the
  doorposts, and death will pass over us!

32
Why Cant the Jews see the Messiah in the Passover

• The way I see it, there are three reasons why the
  Jews cant see
• 1. Because the Spirit has blinded them....or....
• 2. The Christians persecuted the Jews....or...
• 3. Because Jews study the Torah. They know the
  Torah is forever. The know it is holy and good
  and that the Messiah would not do away with such
  a holy and good law. Since most Christians
  believe that the Messiah did do away with the
  law, the Jews dont even bother looking into
  Christianity.
