Lev. 23 [2] Speak unto the children
of Israel, and say unto them, concerning the feasts of Yehovah, which ye shall proclaim
to be holy convocations, even these are my feasts.
[4] These are the feasts of Yehovah,
even holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their seasons.
[37] These are the feasts of
Yehovah, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, to offer an offering
made by fire unto Yehovah, a burnt offering, and a meat offering, a sacrifice,
and drink offerings, everything upon his day:
[44] And Moses declared unto the
children of Israel the feasts of Yehovah.
Ezra 3 [5]
And afterward offered the continual burnt offering, both of the new moons, and
of all the set feasts of Yehovah that were consecrated, and of every one that
willingly offered a freewill offering unto Yehovah.

SEARCHING
FOR LEAVEN
A little
leaven, a little sin leaveneth the whole lump!
1
Cor. 5 [7] Purge out therefore the old
leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Messiah /
Christ our Passover sacrificed for us:
[8]
Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven
of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
Exod.12 [15] Seven days shall ye eat
unleavened bread; even the first day ye shall put away leaven out of your
houses: for whosoever eateth leavened bread from the
first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel.
Exod. 13 [6] Seven days thou shalt
eat unleavened bread, and in the seventh day shall be a feast to Yehovah.
[7] Unleavened bread shall be eaten
seven days; and there shall no leavened bread be seen with thee, neither shall
there be leaven seen with thee in all thy quarters.
"SHADOWS OF THINGS TO COME"
Colossians 2:16: Let no man
therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of a holyday, or of the
new moon, or of the sabbath days: 17: Which are a
shadow of "things to come" (future tense); but the body is of Messiah
/ Christ.

THE PASSOVER STORY
I will
execute judgment against all the gods of Egypt, I am Yehovah
A night to
be much observed; against all the gods of Egypt
Exod. 12
[12] For I will pass through the
land of Egypt this night, and will smite all the firstborn in the land of
Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute
judgment: I am Yehovah.
[42] It is a night to be much
observed unto Yehovah for bringing them out from the land of Egypt: this is
that night of Yehovah to be observed of all the children of Israel in their
generations.
[43] And Yehovah said unto
Moses and Aaron, This is the ordinance of the passover:
There shall no stranger eat thereof:
[44] But every man's servant that is bought for money, when thou hast
circumcised him, then shall he eat thereof.
[45] A foreigner and an hired servant
shall not eat thereof.
[46] In one house shall it be eaten; thou shalt not carry forth ought of
the flesh abroad out of the house; neither shall ye break a bone thereof.
[47] All the congregation of Israel shall keep it.
[48] And when a stranger shall sojourn with thee, and will keep the passover to Yehovah, let all his males be circumcised, and
then let him come near and keep it; and he shall be as one that is born in the
land: for no uncircumcised person shall eat thereof.
[49] One law shall be to him that is homeborn,
and unto the stranger that sojourneth among
you.
Jer.43 [12]
And I will kindle a fire in the houses of the gods of Egypt; and he
shall burn them, and carry them away captives: and he shall array himself with
the land of Egypt, as a shepherd putteth on his
garment; and he shall go forth from thence in peace.

PASSOVER QUESTIONS
Exod. 13
[7]
Unleavened bread shall be eaten seven days; and there shall no leavened bread be
seen with thee, neither shall there be leaven seen with thee in all thy
quarters.
[8] And thou
shalt shew thy son in that day, saying, This is done because of that which Yehovah did unto me when
I came forth out of Egypt.
[14] And it
shall be when thy son asketh thee in time to come,
saying, What is this? that
thou shalt say unto him, By strength of hand Yehovah brought us out from Egypt,
from the house of bondage:
[15] And it
came to pass, when Pharaoh would hardly let us go, that Yehovah slew all the firstborn
in the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of man, and the firstborn of beast:
therefore I sacrifice to Yehovah all that openeth the
matrix, being males; but all the firstborn of my children I redeem.
[16] And it
shall be for a token upon thine hand, and for frontlets between thine eyes: for
by strength of hand Yehovah brought us forth out of Egypt.
[17] And it
came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the people go, that God led them not through
the way of the land of the Philistines, although that was near; for God said,
Lest peradventure the people repent when they see war, and they return to
Egypt:
[18] But God
led the people about, through the way of the wilderness of the Red sea: and the
children of Israel went up harnessed out of the land of Egypt.
Deut. 6
[20] And
when thy son asketh thee in time to come, saying, What mean the testimonies, and the statutes, and the
judgments, which Yehovah our God hath commanded you?
[21] Then
thou shalt say unto thy son, We were Pharaoh's bondmen
in Egypt; and Yehovah brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand:
[22] And
Yehovah shewed signs and wonders, great and sore,
upon Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his household,
before our eyes:
[23] And he
brought us out from thence, that he might bring us in, to give us the land
which he sware unto our fathers.
[24] And
Yehovah commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear Yehovah our God, for our
good always, that he might preserve us alive, as it is at this day.
[25] And it
shall be our righteousness, if we observe to do all these commandments before
Yehovah our God, as he hath commanded us.
[26] And it
shall come to pass, when your children shall say unto you, What
mean ye by this service?
[27] That ye
shall say, It is the sacrifice of Yehovah'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 worshipped.

Only ONE CUP - in HIS BLOOD – ONE
BREAD
Matt. 26 [26] And as they were eating, Yeshua took bread, and blessed it,
and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my
body.
[27] And he
took "the cup", and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink
ye all of it;
[28] For
this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission
of sins.
[29] But I
say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that
day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom.
1 Cor. 10 [16]
"The cup" of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the
blood of Messiah? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body
of Messiah?
1 Cor. 11 [23] For I have received of Yeshua that which also I delivered
unto you, That Yeshua the same night in which he was betrayed took bread:
[24] And
when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take,
eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.
[25] After
the same manner also he took "the cup", when he had supped, saying,
"This cup" is the new testament in my blood:
this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of
me.
[26] For as
often as ye eat this bread, and drink "this cup", ye do shew Yeshua's death till he come.
[27]
Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink "this cup" of
Yeshua, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of Yeshua.
[28] But let
a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of
"that cup".
[29] For he
that eateth and drinketh
unworthily, eateth and drinketh
damnation to himself, not discerning Yeshua's body.
[30] For
this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.
[31] For if
we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.
[32] But
when we are judged, we are chastened of Yeshua, that we should not be condemned
with the world.
Let's Pray:
Minister: For I have received of
Yeshua that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord
Yeshua the same night in which he was betrayed took bread:
And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is
broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.
After the same manner also he took the
cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new
testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink
it, in remembrance of me.
Minister: Take drink,
For as often as ye eat this bread,
and drink this cup, ye do shew Yeshua's death till he
come. Bless Yeshua!
Hear Israel
יִשְׂרָאֵל: יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ, יְהוָה אֶחָד שְׁמַע
** Congregation reading:
[4]
Hear, O Israel: Yehovah is our God – Yehovah is one :
[5] And thou shalt love the Yehovah thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy
soul, and with all thy might.
[6] And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart:
[7] And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of
them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest
down, and when thou risest up.
[8] And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as
frontlets between thine eyes.
[9] And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates.
