Today, we use the Gregorian calendar from Pope Gregory; from the
1500’s,
today is March 27, 2021 – first day of Spring
March - Mars' month
Martius has always had 31 days.
Mars is the Roman god of
war. He is identified with the Greek god Ares.
The Gregorian calendar
When did January 1 become
the first day of the New Year?
March was the original
beginning of the year in some previous calendars.
January 1 had become the
first day of the New Year when Julius Caesar (100 B.C.E.-44 B.C.E.) reorganized
the Roman calendar and made it solar rather than lunar in the year 45 B.C.E.
and moved the beginning of the year to January 1.
When the Gregorian calendar
was introduced in 1582, January 1 continued to be recognized as the first day
of the year in most places.
However, in England and the
American colonies, March 25, intended to represent the spring equinox,
was the beginning of their year. Under this system, March 24, 1700, was
followed by March 25, 1701.
In 1752, the British government changed the beginning date
of the year to January 1.
Then we have Judaism’s made up New Year’s Babylonian month … Tishri (in the Judaism calendar) the first month of the
civil year and seventh of the religious year, usually coinciding with parts of September
and October of the Gregorian calendar.
Yehovah God has His own calendar, which is deleted from the world
We are now in the 1st month in the scriptures called ha Aviv or Nisan
13th day
Exod.13 [4] This day came you out in the month Abib. – ha Aviv
Esth.3 [7] In the first month, that is, the month Nisan…

Tomorrow, Sunday evening is our memorial of our
Passover and the starting the Feast of unleavened Bread.
I wasn’t going to discuss “things
not to do at the Passover”, but I thought maybe I should, some
people are still doing these things as of 2021.
So here it is again… J
Today’s Topic
Things "not to do" at a Passover Seder again 2021
I have done this study so
many times and yet some Passover Seders still done by some Messianics and Judaism are not scriptural.
I am sure there must be
other things "not to do" at a Passover Seder, but this will display the heresy will be done again.
People are still doing this unscriptural
act:
Still some go to 2 or 3
Passover Seders – wrong
Still some people have a “community
Passover with anyone” – wrong
Again, this not a game,
don’t do Passover with people that don’t keep the commandments.
Some people still 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 at your Passover that
does not keep even the 7th day Sabbath?
“The Next thing not to
do":
People are still doing this unscriptural
act…
"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.
Scriptures tells us:
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 words, lest he
reprove thee, and you be found a liar.
Read only the Word of God and not
commentaries of people, otherwise you will be tricked, deceived.
Paul said:
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” Expressions of Redemption?
People are still doing this unscriptural
act…
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.
[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 will (s) above?
Saul /Paul said:
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 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" for our
redemption
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, how could he be, 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".
Also we don't believe
this man below is a great Torah scholar. He missed the Messiah in the Hebrew
Scriptures also.
Pseudo
Rabbi Ovadya Seforno
Now the Truth from Scripture.
We have many witnesses. We
have 3 Gospels and letters to prove this:
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 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 thing not to
do"
People are still doing this unscriptural
act…
Still some people are leaving
the door open for Elijah and setting a cup of wine for him.
Simply ridiculous and not
scriptural
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 other verses pertaining to John:
Isa. 40 [3] The voice of him
(John) 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 (John) 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 Elijah”, 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)
Notice, this is not the made
up reincarnation, but John came “in the Spirit” of Elijah
This is 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"
People are still doing this unscriptural
act…
Where does it say to have special
Passover plates and silverware? (Someone is making allot of money)
"Next
things not to do"
People are still doing this unscriptural
act…
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.
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"
People are still doing this unscriptural
act…
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"
People are still doing this unscriptural
act…
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"
People are still doing this unscriptural
act…
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 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"
Read below, how terrible:
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
and on, and on…
These sounds terrible to us... don’t say them even if they
embellish it with music.
"Next thing not to
do"
People are still doing this unscriptural
act…
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 is
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.
People are still doing this unscriptural
act…
They still do this- 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.
Really, what for? For what purpose, who
knows… no one L
All this ceremony and the
name afikoman are shrouded in mystery.
None of it is explained
by the Haggadah - or 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, rally never knew…
Yeshua said:
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.
Enough for now, DAYENU – just kidding…
So in closing one more time
in 2021:
Please follow scripture, not
made up false traditions which are really embellished lies.
Everyone has to let loose of
Gentile and Jewish traditions that add or change the Word of God
Praise Yah
Shabbat Shalom
