Today is April 4, 2020
April -- Aphrodite's month
Old
English April (is)
Latin Aprilis
Etruscan Apru
Greek Aphro,
short for Aphrodite.
Aprilis had 30 days, until Numa when it had 29 days, until Julius when it became 30
days long.
Aphrodite is the Greek goddess of love and beauty.
She is identified with the Roman goddess Venus. L
We acknowledge Yehovah’s calendar:
We are now in the 1st month, ha Aviv – day 10
Passover is 8th
of April, Wed. evening meal.
The Feast of Unleavened
bread is in April, Thursday, the 9th through the 15th
Wednesday.
A first fruit, resurrection
day is Sunday the 11th
The Feast of Weeks, feast of
harvest, Pentecost is the 31th of May – Sunday.
Today’s Topic:
Things "not to do" at a Passover
Seder again 2020 J
Some
Passover Seders done by some Messianics and Judaism
is not scriptural.
Some go to
2 or 3 Passover Seders – wrong
Some
people have a community Passover with anyone – wrong
This not a
game, don’t do Passover with people that don’t keep the commandments.
Some people boast of
large Passover Seders with pseudo Christians - wrong
We eat the Passover
meal and go over the Haggadah in the evening during
the beginning the first day of unleavened bread, a Sabbath.
How could anyone be
there that does not keep Sabbath?
“The Next thing
not to do":
"The
Cup" – Not 4 or 5 cups (0f wine L) - scripture never says "the cups"
There is
only "one cup" of the New Testament in
Yeshua's Blood.
Paul is right,
Tit.1 [14] Not (don’t) giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of
men, that turn from the truth.
There are no Rabbis
in TaNaKh.
However, Pseudo Rabbis
made up the "four expressions" - then “Four” Cups” at the Pesach Seder because they reject
the Gospels and letters.
Pseudo Rabbis don't
recognize Yeshua the Messiah as "Our Passover".
1Cor.5 [7]
… Christ
/Messiah our passover is
sacrificed for us:
This is why we tell
people not to follow Pseudo Rabbis and Judaism.
They have all
rejected the Hebrew Scriptures about Messiah
Pseudo Rabbis always
"add and diminish" from God's Word.
Deut.4 [2] You shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither
shall you diminish ought from it, that
you 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: you shall not add
thereto, nor diminish from it.
Prov.30 [6] Add you
not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and you
be found a liar.
Read only the Word of
God and not commentaries, otherwise you will be tricked, deceived.
As Paul
puts it :
2 Tim.3 [7] (some people
are) Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
My question is: If you are going to do
"Four" Expressions of Redemption, Why not do the "Seven?
I see "SEVEN", let’s read:
Exod.6
[1] Then Yehovah said unto Moses, Now shall you 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 spoke 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 YEHOVAH 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 you
shall know that I am Yehovah your God,
which brings 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
So
why not say the 7, I wills above? Oh well…
Saul /
Paul tells us:
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". (sounds like Pseudo rabbis)
We don't
believe these men below are great Pseudo Torah
scholars.
This below
is what Judaism made up: From 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 Pseudo Rabbi Bachya.
Pseudo 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)
Remember, I just read
to you 7 above, he missed 3 of them.
** Pseudo Rabbis made this up because they don't recognize Yeshua the Messiah as "Our Passover"
Again:
1 Cor. 5 [7] purge out
therefore the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, as you are unleavened. For even Messiah 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)
(Pseudo 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.
Pseudo Rabbi Ovadya Seforno.
Now the
Truth from Scripture:
Many
witnesses agree!
One Blood, One 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 you 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 Messiah? The
bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of
Messiah? [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 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 you, as
often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.[26] For as often as you eat
this bread, and drink "this cup",
you do show 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.
Why at
Passover Seders are people leaving the door open and setting a cup of wine for
Elijah to come?
Yeshua said He,
Elijah IS Come already!!!
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.
Here are the verses:
Isa. 40 [3] The voice of him
that cries in the wilderness, Prepare you 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 you: for
the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
[3] For this is he that was spoken of by the
prophet Isaiah, (40:3) saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare you 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 your
face, which shall prepare your way before you.
[3] The
voice of one crying in the wilderness, prepare you 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 (John the Baptist),
and he shall prepare the way before Me: and the Lord -
Messiah, whom you seek, shall suddenly come to this temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom you
delight in: behold, he shall come, says Yehovah of
hosts.
Matt. 3
[1]
In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea,
[2] And saying, Repent you: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
[3] For
this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Isaiah (40:3), saying, The voice of
one crying in the wilderness, Prepare you 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 the Lord[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 eye witnesses, 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 you might know the certainty of those things, wherein you 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 your prayer is
heard; and your wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and you shall call his name John.
[14] And you shall 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 Yeshua said about John the Baptist:
Matt. 11:9 But
what went you 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 your face, which shall prepare your 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 suffers violence, and the violent take it by force. [13] For
all the prophets and the law prophesied until John. [14] And if you will receive it, this
is Elijah, 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 Elijah must
first come?
[11] And Yeshua answered and said unto them, Elijah truly shall first come, and restore all things.
[12] But I say unto
you, that Elijah 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 spoke unto them of John the
Baptist.
Mark 9[11] And they asked him,
saying, Why say the scribes that Elijah must first
come?
[12] And he answered
and told them, Elijah verily cometh first, and
restores 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 Elijah 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 do what the
Scriptures say? Is this too 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 as it says:
Exod. 12
[14]
And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and you shall keep it a feast to Yehovah throughout your generations; you shall keep it a
feast by an ordinance forever.
"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 than 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.
Dayenu (Hebrew:דַּיֵּנוּ) is a song that
is part of the Jewish holiday of Passover. The word "Dayenu"
means approximately "it would have been enough", "it would have
been sufficient", or "it would have sufficed" (day in Hebrew is
"enough", and -enu the first person plural
suffix, "to us").
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 destroyoud their
gods.
DAYENU
If He had merely destroyoud 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 youars. DAYENU
If He had merely
supplied us in the desert for forty youars, 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.
These sound terrible to us... don’t say them even if they embellish
it with music.
"Next
thing not to do"
afikoman? a Greek word
Manischewitz matzos?
Pseudo Rabbi Dov Behr Manischewitz, was born in Lithuania and immigrated to Cincinnati in 1886. He started out by supplying matzos 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 matzo at Passover.
Remember:
Pseudo Rabbi Dov Behr Manischewitz' immigrated
to Cincinnati in 1886.
Try not to use Pseudo
Rabbi Dov Behr Manischewitz's
matzah at Passover. (Even though they are good other times J) make your own unleavened
bread.
Neither Moses nor Yeshua used Pseudo Rabbi Dov Behr
Manischewitz's matzos 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 matzo 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 matzo 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 your disciples transgress the tradition of the
elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat
bread. [3] But Yeshua answered and said unto
them,
Yeshua says:
Why do you 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 unwashed, 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 your disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but
eat bread with unwashen hands?
[6] He answered and said unto them, Well hath Isaiah prophesied of
you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honors me with their lips, but their
heart is far from me.
[7] Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the
commandments of men.
[8] For laying aside the commandment of God, you hold the tradition of men, as
the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things you do.
[9] And he said unto them, Full well you reject the commandment of
God, that you may keep your own tradition.
[13] Making the word
of God of none effect through your tradition, which you have delivered: and
many such like things do you.
In closing
one more time:
Please
follow scripture, not made up false traditions which are embellished lies.
Let loose
of Gentile and Jewish traditions that add or change the Word of God
Praise Yah.
Amen
Shabbat
Shalom
