I will explain
the Sabbath each week now during the coming holydays
This is how
simple it is:
Exod. 20
[8] Remember the
Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
[9] Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
[10] But the seventh
day is the sabbath of Yehovah thy God:
in it thou shalt not do any work,
thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor
thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy
gates:
[11] For in six days Yehovah made
heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day:
wherefore Yehovah blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
Lev. 23 [3] Six days shall work be done:
but
the seventh day is the sabbath of
rest, an holy convocation;
ye shall do no work therein:
it is the sabbath
of Yehovah in all your
dwellings.
--------
Isa. 58 [13] If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy
pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath
a delight, the holy of Yehovah, honourable; and shalt honour him,
1 - not doing thine own ways,
2 - nor finding thine own pleasure,
3 - nor speaking thine own words:
[14] Then shalt thou delight thyself in Yehovah;
and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee
with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the
mouth of Yehovah hath spoken it.
------------------------
Buying and selling is evil on the
Sabbath
Neh. 13 [16] There dwelt men of Tyre also therein,
which brought fish, and all manner of ware, and sold
on the sabbath unto
the children of Judah, and in Jerusalem.
[17] Then I contended
with the nobles of Judah, and said unto them, What evil thing is this
that ye do, and profane the sabbath day?
------------------------
Today’s topic:
Things "not to do" at a
Passover Seder
The Passover Seder done by some Messianics and Judaism is not scriptural.
Some go to 2 or 3 Passover Seders – wrong
This not a game, don’t do Passover with
people that don’t keep the commandments
"The Cup"
– Not 4 or 5 cups -
scripture never says "the cups"
There is only "one
cup" of the New Testament in Yeshua's
Blood.
Tit.1 [14] Not giving
heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that
turn from the truth.
There are no Rabbis in TaNaKh
Rabbis made up the "four expressions" - then “Four” Cups” at
the Pesach Seder because they reject the Gospels and letters.
Rabbis don't recognize Yeshua
the Messiah as "Our Passover".
This is why we tell people
not to follow Rabbis and Judaism.
They have all rejected the
Hebrew Scriptures about Messiah
Rabbis always "add and
diminish" from God's Word.
Deut.4 [ 2] Ye shall not add unto the word which I
command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the
commandments of Yehovah your God which I command you.
Deut.12 [32] What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it.
Prov.30 [6] Add thou not unto his words , lest
he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.
Read only the Word of God
and not commentaries, otherwise you will be - As Paul
puts it - 2Tim.3 [7] Ever learning, and
never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
---------
If you are going to do
"Four" Expressions of Redemption,
Why not do "Seven?
I see "SEVEN"
Exod.6
[1] Then Yehovah said unto Moses, Now shalt
thou see what I will do to Pharaoh: for with a strong hand shall he let them
go, and with a strong hand shall he drive them out of his land.
[2] And God spake unto Moses, and said unto
him, I am Yehovah:
[3] And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name
of God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them.
[4] And I have also established my covenant with them , to give them the land of
Canaan, the land of their pilgrimage, wherein they were strangers.
[5] And I have also heard the groaning of the children of Israel,
whom the Egyptians keep in bondage; and I have remembered my covenant .
Verse [6] Wherefore say unto the children of Israel, I am Yehovah, and
1 - I
will bring you out from under
the burdens of the Egyptians, and
2 - I will rid you out of
their bondage, and
3 -
I will redeem you with a stretched out arm, and with great judgments:
4 - [7] And I will take you to me for a people, and
5 - I will be to you a God :
and ye shall know that I am Yehovah your God, which bringeth you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.
6 - [8] And I will bring you in unto the land, concerning the
which I did swear to give it to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; and
7 - I will give it you
for a heritage: I am Yehovah
We don't believe these men below are
great Torah scholars.
2 Cor. 10[ 12] For we dare not make ourselves of the number,
or compare ourselves with some "that commend themselves:"
"but
they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among
themselves, are not wise".
This below is what Judaism made up:
In the "11th to 16th
centuries"
***The Chumash, page 319 - 6-7
These "four
stages" are the basis for the rabbinic requirement
of the Four Cups at the Pesach Seder.
The expressions, as
explained by Rabbi Bachya . Rabbi
Bachaya Ibn Pakuda - (Eleventh Century)
The "four
expressions" of redemption (represented at the Passover
Seder by the "Four Cups of wine")
relate to the four aspects of our liberation from Egypt:
I will bring you out
I will save you
I will redeem you
I will take you (6:6-7)
(Nachmanides; Soforno)
**Rabbis made this up
because they don't recognize Yeshua the Messiah as
"Our Passover"
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 is
sacrificed for us:
We don't believe
this man below is a great Torah scholar. He missed the Messiah in the Hebrew
Scriptures.
Nachmanides/Ramban (1194-1270)
(Rabbi Moshe ben Nachman)
Nachmanides was a Spaniard who was both a physician and a
so-called great Torah scholar. (However he missed
the Messiah in the Hebrew Scriptures. Still think he is a great Torah scholar?
)
Nachmanides had a "strong mystical bent". His biblical
commentaries are the first ones to incorporate "the
mystical teachings".
We don't believe
this man below is a great Torah scholar. He missed the Messiah in the Hebrew
Scriptures.

Now the Truth from Scripture:
One Blood, cup - 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.
Mark 14: [22] And as they did eat, Yeshua took bread,
and blessed, and brake it, and gave to them, and
said, Take, eat: this is my body.[23] And he took "the cup", and when he had given thanks, he gave
it to them: and they all drank of "it".[24]
And he said unto them, This is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for
many.[25] Verily I say unto you, I will drink no more of the fruit of
the vine, until that day that I drink it new in the kingdom of God.[26]
And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives.
Luke :22 [15] And he said unto them, With desire I
have desired to eat this passover with you before I
suffer:[16] For I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until
it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.
[17] And he took "the cup",
and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves:
[18] For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine,
until the kingdom of God shall come.
[19] And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and
gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in
remembrance of me.[20] Likewise also "the cup" after
supper, saying,
"This cup" is the new testament
in my blood, which is shed for you.
1 Cor. 10 [16] "The
cup" of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of
the blood of Christ? The bread which
we break, is it not the communion of the body of Messiah / Christ? [17] For
we being many are one bread,
and one body: for we are all partakers of that one bread.
1 Cor. 11 [23] For I have received of the Lord –
Messiah Yeshua that which also I delivered unto you,
That Lord 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 Yehovah,
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 the Lord 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 Yehovah, that we
should not be condemned with the world.

"Next thing not to do"
Don't leave the door open for Elijah or
set a cup of wine for him
Elijah / Elias // John The Baptist
Why at Passover Seders are people
leaving the door open and setting a cup of wine for Elijah to come?
Yeshua said He IS come!!!
Who did God say He would send?
I will send my messenger
I will send you Elijah the prophet
What was he going to do?
he shall turn the heart of the fathers to
the children, and the heart of
the children to their fathers
truly shall first come, and restore all
things
Isa. 40
[3] The voice of him that crieth
in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord - Messiah, make straight in
the desert a highway for our God.
Matt. 3 [1] In those days came John the Baptist,
preaching in the wilderness of Judaea,
[2] And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
[3] For this is he that was spoken of by the
prophet Esaias, (40:3) saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness,
Prepare ye the way of the Lord -
Messiah, make his paths straight.
[4] And the same John had his raiment of camel's hair, and a leathern
girdle about his loins; and his meat was locusts and wild honey.
Mark 1 [1] The beginning of the gospel of Yeshua the Messiah, the Son of God;
[2] As it is written in the prophets, (Malachi 3:1) Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.
[3] The voice of one crying in the
wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, Messiah Yeshua,
make his paths straight. (Isa. 40:3)
[4] John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of
repentance for the remission of sins.
Mal. 3[1]
Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall
prepare the way before me: and the Lord - Messiah, whom ye seek, shall suddenly
come to this temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in:
behold, he shall come, saith Yehovah
of hosts.
------------
Matt. 3 [1] In those days came John the Baptist, preaching
in the wilderness of Judaea,
[2] And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
[3] For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias (40:3), saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness,
Prepare ye the way of the Lord - Messiah, make his paths straight.
[4] And the same John had
his raiment of camel's hair, and a leathern girdle
about his loins; and his meat was locusts and wild honey.
2Kgs. 1
[8] And they answered him, He was an hairy man, and
girt with a girdle of leather about his loins.
And he said, It is Elijah the Tishbite.
------------
What was he going to do?
Mal. 4 [5] Behold, I will send you
Elijah the prophet before the coming of the
great and dreadful day of Yehovah:[6]
And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the
children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come
and smite the earth with a curse.
Luke 1
[1] Forasmuch as many
have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration of those things which
are most surely believed among us,
[2] Even as they delivered them unto us, which from the beginning were
eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word;
[3] It seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of all
things from the very first, to write unto thee in order, most excellent Theophilus,
[4] That thou mightest know the certainty of
those things, wherein thou hast been instructed.
[5] There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a certain priest
named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife
was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth.
[6] And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the
commandments and ordinances of Yehovah blameless.
[7] And they had no child, because that Elisabeth was barren, and they
both were now well stricken in years.
[8] And it came to pass, that while he executed the priest's office
before God in the order of his course,
[9] According to the custom of the priest's office, his lot was to burn
incense when he went into the temple of Yehovah.
[10] And the whole multitude of the people were
praying without at the time of incense.
[11] And there appeared unto him an angel of Yehovah
standing on the right side of the altar of incense.
[12] And when Zacharias saw him, he was troubled, and fear fell upon
him.
[13] But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is
heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John.
[14] And thou shalt have joy and gladness; and
many shall rejoice at his birth.
[15] For he shall be great in the sight of Yehovah, and shall drink
neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be
filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother's womb.
[16] And many of the children of Israel shall he
turn to Yehovah their God.
[17] And he (John) shall go before him (Messiah) in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the
disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for Yehovah. (Malachi 4:5 above)
------------
What Yehsua
said about John The Baptist:
Matt. 11:9 But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? yea, I say unto you, and more than a prophet.
[10] For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger
before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before
thee. (Mal. 3:1 and 4:5)
[11] Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a
greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom
of heaven is greater than he. [12] And from the days of John the Baptist until
now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the
violent take it by force. [13] For all the prophets and the law prophesied
until John. [14] And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was
for to come. (Mal. 3:1 and 4:5)
[15] He that hath ears to hear let him
hear.
------------
Matt.17 [10] And his disciples asked
him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias
must first come?
[11] And Yeshua
answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first
come, and restore all things.
[12] But I say unto you, that Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed.
Likewise shall also the Son
of man suffer of them.
[13] Then the
disciples understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist.
------------
Mark 9[11] And they asked him, saying, Why say the scribes
that Elias must first come?
[12] And he answered and told
them, Elias verily cometh first, and restoreth all things; and how it is written of
the Son of man, that he must suffer many things, and be set at nought. [13] But I say unto you, that Elias is indeed come, and they have done unto him
whatsoever they listed, as it is written of him.
------------
"Next thing not to do"
Where does it say to have
special Passover plates and silverware? (someone is
making allot of money)
"Next things not to do"
Tell me, what's with the egg
(sounds like pagan Easter eggs), shank bone that they have on a plate?
Why not have
what the Scriptures say? Is this to easy?
Exod. 12
[8] And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast
(lamb) with fire, and unleavened bread; and with bitter herbs they shall eat
it.
We do this day as a memorial:
Exod. 12 [14] And this
day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye
shall keep it a feast to Yehovah throughout your
generations; ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance for
ever.
"Next thing not to do"
Don’t charge people money to
attend a Seder. Where did they get that from?
This makes me sad. What
about the people who can't afford to attend?
This is not a game........
"Next thing not to do"
Many people attend more then one seder.
Some boast of 2 or more they
attended. Passover is on a specific day, not days.
This is all adding to the Word of God.
------------
"Next thing not to do"
It is not wise to tell God what to do
or how to do it
In stanza three Dayanu means, "It would have sufficed"-in other
words: "Enough already!" is an unscriptural traditional song.
Read below:
If He had merely rescued us from Egypt, but had not punished the Egyptians. DAYENU
If He had merely punished the Egyptians, but had not destroyed their gods. DAYENU
If He had merely destroyed their gods, but had not slain their first born. DAYENU
If He had merely slain their
first born, but had not given us their property. DAYENU
If He had merely given us their property, but had not split the sea for us. DAYENU
If He had merely split the sea for us, but had not brought us through on
dry ground. DAYENU
If He had merely brought us
through on dry ground, but had not drowned our oppressors. DAYENU
If He had merely drowned our oppressors, but had not supplied us in the
desert for forty years. DAYENU
If He had merely supplied us in the desert for forty years, but had not fed
us with manna. DAYENU
If He had merely fed us with manna, but had not given us the Shabbat. DAYENU
If He had merely given us the Shabbat, but had not brought us to Mount
Sinai. DAYENU
If He had merely brought us to Mount Sinai, but had not given us the Torah. DAYENU
If He had merely given us the Torah, but had not brought us to the land of
Israel. DAYENU
If He had merely brought us to the land of Israel, but had not built us the
Temple. DAYENU
We would have been
satisfied, it would have been enough.
This sounds
terrible to me.............
------------
"Next thing not to do"
afikoman?
Manischewitz matzahs?
Rabbi Dov Behr Manischewitz, was born in Lithuania and immigrated to
Cincinnati in 1886. He started out by supplying
matzah to newly arrived
Jewish immigrants who were heading west to seek a new and better life in
America. It was very important to Rabbi Manischewitz
that every Jew, even those in transit, be provided
with matzah at Passover.
Remember:
Rabbi Dov
Behr Manischewitz' immigrated to Cincinnati in 1886.
Try not to use Rabbi Dov Behr Manischewitz's matzah at Passover. (even though
they are good other times)
Moses did not use Rabbi Dov Behr Manischewitz's matzah at Passover - he was not born yet!
Yeshua did not use Rabbi Dov Behr Manischewitz's matzah at Passover - he was not born yet!
We make unleavened bread,
that simple.
------------
They say - NEAR THE BEGINNING of a Passover Seder, a piece
of matzah is broken in half.
The larger of the two pieces
is hidden away until the end of the meal.
When it is brought back from
concealment it is shared by everyone at the table as their final morsel. This
broken and hidden piece of matzah is called the afikoman.
All this ceremony and the name afikoman are shrouded in mystery.
None of it is explained by the Haggadah
Nor is it mentioned in Scripture
The term appears first in
the Mishnah (tractate Pesahim
10:8), the earliest collection of rabbinic
legal rulings, codified around 200 AD. Though afikoman
is written in Hebrew letters in rabbinic texts, it is actually a Greek word.
Jewish historians disagree why a Greek term entered the Passover liturgical
tradition or what it means. As one of them said, "It is of uncertain
etymology." Some think it is derived from epikomoi
("dessert") or from epi komon (a call for after dinner pastime, entertainment),
or from epikomion ("festal song").
Over the centuries, its
meaning has been lost or forgotten.
-------------
Matt.15
[2] Why do thy
disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for
they wash not their hands when they eat bread. [3] But he answered and
said unto them, Why do ye also transgress
the commandment of God by your tradition?
Mark 7[1] Then came together unto him the Pharisees, and
certain of the scribes, which came from Jerusalem.
[2] And when they saw some of his disciples eat bread with defiled, that
is to say, with unwashen, hands, they found fault.
[3] For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash their hands
oft, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders.
[4] And when they come from the market, except they wash, they eat not.
And many other things there be, which they have
received to hold, as the washing of cups, and pots, brasen
vessels, and of tables.
[5] Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why
walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat
bread with unwashen hands?
[6] He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is
written, This people honoureth me with their lips,
but their heart is far from me.
[7] Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctines
the commandments of men.
[8] For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as
the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do.
[9] And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of
God, that ye may keep your own tradition.
[13] Making the word of God of none effect
through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do
ye.
Please follow scripture, not made up
traditions.
Let loose of Gentile and Jewish
traditions that change the Word of God

One last note of interest:
Look at your calendar (the Gregorian calendar we use today) you have in your home.
They have March 27, 2016 as Easter, eggs, rabbits, chocolate
candy, etc.
**However it is the resurrection of
Jesus / Yeshua from the dead
Then they have April 22, 2016 is Passover when Jesus / Yeshua dies on the tree / cross
How could that be?
They have Jesus / Yeshua
rising from the dead almost a month before He dies. (Wrong!)
Oh well…
