Today, we use the Gregorian calendar from Pope Gregory; from the 1500’s,

 

The date is April 2, 2022 (in the 21 Century)

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.

 

The God of Israel has His own Calendar:

We have a leap year, so we are now in the 13th month of God called Adar 2, day 29

We read from law and the prophets every Sabbath like they did in the Book of - Acts 13 [15] … after the reading of the law and the prophets…

 

As Yeshua said it:  

 

Luke 24 [44]… Yeshua said unto them, These are the words which I spoke unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.

 

The law God gave to Moses (not used by most churches today)

 

The prophets (not used by most churches today)

 

Saturday evening is God’s New Year – ha Aviv, Abib 1

 

Exod.12 [1]Yehovah spoke unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying,
[2] This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you. 

 

Exod.13
[3] And Moses said unto the people,

Remember this day, in which you came out from Egypt, out of the house of bondage; for by strength of hand Yehovah brought you out from this place:

There shall no leavened bread be eaten.

 

[4] This day came you out in the month Abib - ha Aviv

 

Esth.3 [7] In the first month, that is, the month Nisan, 

 

You might feel this is a redundant study, but it saddens me to see so many unscriptural things happened at this time.

Maybe one person will read or hear this study and change their life to God.

It seems I can never go over this study in enough time; people are already getting ready to do their unscriptural Passover.

On 4/2/2022:  I just looking on the net for a few minutes this morning, I found these unscriptural things:

People are “charging money” of all amounts to attend their fake Passover.

I seen as high as $95.00 to attend an unscriptural Passover

They don’t care who attends. I guess they never read Exodus 12.

As for the food, they serve anything for money.

Shopping:  For all types of trinkets, Seder plates, dayenu head band, Afikomen Prizes etc…

Wrong Dates:

One fake leader said:

If you would like to join us in this remembrance wherever you live, we will be having the prayer vigil the evening of April 15th and then we will be observing unleavened bread from that day until the following Friday evening, April 22ndrdUNLESS your family chooses to start the observance earlier, in that case, you will be ending earlier. 

First day of Unleavened bread a Sabbath with Holy people, gone….

And many other unscriptural things there are on the net.

 

Today’s Topic:

Unscriptural things

 "not to do" at a Passover Seder

Most 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

Some people boast of large Passover Seders with pseudo Christians 

 

This not a game nor a party.

Don’t do Passover with people that don’t keep the commandments, how could you?

We eat the Passover meal and go over the Haggadah in the evening during the beginning the first day of unleavened bread, a Sabbath with Holy people of God  that keep the Commandments.

How could anyone be there that does not keep Sabbath?

 

"Next unscriptural thing not to do"

"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.

 

Yehovah said:

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 so ever I command you, observe to do it: you shall not add thereto, nor diminish from it.

Prov.30 [6] Add you not unto his wordslest he reprove you, and you be found a liar.

Read only the Word of God and not commentaries, otherwise you will be deceived. 

As Paul puts it: 2 Tim.3 [7] Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

If you are going to do the unscriptural "Four" Expressions of Redemption, Why not do "Seven?

I see "SEVEN"

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.

[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 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

But I digress,

that would mean to them 7 cups of wine L

 

Saul / Paul told 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".

We don't believe these men below are great 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. unscriptural

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: unscriptural

I will bring you out

I will save you

I will redeem you

I will take you (6:6-7)

(Nachmanides; Soforno) unscriptural

 

**These fake Rabbis made this up because they don't recognize Yeshua the Messiah as "Our Passover"

 

Saul said:

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) - (Rabbi Moshe ben Nachman)

Nachmanides was a Spaniard who was both a physician and a fake Torah scholar

He missed the Messiah in the Hebrew Scriptures.

Still think he is a great Torah scholar?  No

Nachmanides had a "strong mystical bent". His biblical commentaries are the first ones to incorporate "the mystical teachings". unscriptural

We don't believe this man below is a great Torah scholar.

He missed the Messiah in the Hebrew Scriptures.

Rabbi Ovadya Seforno

 

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 you all of "it";[28] For this is my blood of the new testamentwhich 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.[20Likewise 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 MessiahThe 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 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 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 eats and drinks unworthily, eats and drinks 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 unscriptural 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 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 Esaias, (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, 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, saith 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 Esaias (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.

 

2 Kgs. 1 [8] … 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 you 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 you 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 Yehsua 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 you. (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 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 themElias 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 spoke 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 unscriptural thing not to do"

 Where does it say to have special Passover plates and silverware? (Someone is making allot of money)

 

"Next unscriptural thing 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:

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 unscriptural 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 unscriptural 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 unscriptural thing not to do"

It is not wise to tell God what to do or how to do things.

Remember above, I mentioned they are selling Dayenu head bands etc…

In stanza three Dayanu means, "It would have sufficed"- in other words: "Enough already!" is an unscriptural traditional song, telling God what to do, or how to do things.

There are many Dayanu songs, here is one of them:

If He had merely rescued us from Egypt, but had not punished the Egyptians. DAYENU unscriptural

If He had merely punished the Egyptians, but had not destroyed their gods. DAYENU unscriptural

If He had merely destroyed their gods, but had not slain their first born. DAYENU unscriptural

If He had merely slain their first born, but had not given us their property. DAYENU unscriptural

If He had merely given us their property, but had not split the sea for us. DAYENU unscriptural

If He had merely split the sea for us, but had not brought us through on dry ground. DAYENU unscriptural

If He had merely brought us through on dry ground, but had not drowned our oppressors. DAYENU unscriptural

If He had merely drowned our oppressors, but had not supplied us in the desert for forty years. DAYENU unscriptural

If He had merely supplied us in the desert for forty years, but had not fed us with manna. DAYENU unscriptural

If He had merely fed us with manna, but had not given us the Shabbat. DAYENU unscriptural

If He had merely given us the Shabbat, but had not brought us to Mount Sinai. DAYENU unscriptural

If He had merely brought us to Mount Sinai, but had not given us the Torah. DAYENU unscriptural

If He had merely given us the Torah, but had not brought us to the land of Israel. DAYENU unscriptural

If He had merely brought us to the land of Israel, but had not built us the Temple. DAYENU unscriptural

We would have been satisfied, it would have been enough. This sounds terrible to us...

 

"Next unscriptural thing not to do"

afikoman?, Manischewitz matzahs?

Fake 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 Fake Rabbi Manischewitz that every Jew, even those in transit, is provided with matzah at Passover.

Remember: Fake Rabbi Dov Behr Manischewitz' immigrated to Cincinnati in 1886.

Try not to use Fake Rabbi Dov Behr Manischewitz's matzah at Passover. (even though they are good other times)

Moses did not use Fake Rabbi Dov Behr Manischewitz's matzah at Passover - he was not born yet!

Yeshua did not use Fake 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. unscriptural

The larger of the two pieces is hidden away until the end of the meal. unscriptural

When it is brought back from concealment it is shared by everyone at the table as their final morsel. unscriptural

This broken and hidden piece of matzah is called the afikoman. unscriptural

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] Yeshua answered and said unto them, 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, brazen 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 unwashed hands?
[6] He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias 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 for now:

Please follow scripture, not made up false unscriptural traditions - lies.

Don’t follow unscriptural Gentile and Jewish traditions that change the Word of God
