The life of the flesh is in the blood… for it is the blood that makes atonement by the life. - Leviticus 17:11
For Messiah, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed.
- 1 Corinthians 5:7
One week from tonight is Erev Pesach, Passover Eve, the 14th of Nisan, on the Jewish calendar .
Jewish people all over the world, secular & orthodox, will be having their Passover seder remembering their freedom from Egypt with all of Gods miracles. They of course are totally unaware of mankind’s freedom from sin & death. So how does Yeshua factor into the Passover? He does in several beautiful ways that only God could bring creatively together.
Yeshua triumphantly entered into Jerusalem on a donkey on the 10th day of Nisan. This would have been the very same day that the Israelites selected their unblemished lambs for sacrifice four days later (Ex. 12:3-6).
Similarly, Yeshua was presented to Israel as being perfect before His sacrifice. He was crucified on the 14th day of Nisan or the beginning of Passover (John 19:14). The sacrifice of the Passover lambs was a picture God used to ultimately point to the true and perfect lamb of God (1 Peter 1:19).
The Passover lambs were slain and sacrificed at twilight (Ex. 12:6; Lev. 23:5), and Yeshua died at about that same time (Matt. 27:45-50).
Messiah’s sinlessness caused His ability to be the ultimate lamb who takes sin away from the world (John 1:29). Yeshua was the Messiah of Israel, the Passover lamb that was able to defeat death once and for all (1 Cor. 5:7)
Please be praying for a supernatural revelation for the Jewish people worldwide of just who their Passover Lamb is.
Since the attacks on Israel of October 7th, 2023, over 5,200 IDF soldiers have been wounded. Thousands are spread across the countries many hospitals. Sheba Hospital in Ramat Gan, a Tel Aviv suburb, houses the largest amount of the wounded in their huge Rehabilitation Center.
We returned this past week with a small team of faithful’s, armed with T-Shirts and stuffed animals. We left empty handed, but hearts full of joy, having had the opportunity to pray for and bring comfort & hope to those in need. Many need your prayers for healing, both physical & emotional. Please also pray for those still held captive in the tunnels of Gaza.
Last month, Bess had the privilege of attending the “Bat Tzion”, Daughters of Zion womens conference in Netanya. Over 600 attendees from all over the country and abroad, translated from Hebrew into English, Arabic, Amharic (Ethiopian), Russian, French & Spanish for a special time of prayer & worship. The conference theme:
“ Behold, He that keepeth Israel, neither slumbers nor sleeps”. Much accomplished in the Spirit by the women of Zion.
Interest is finally building for mission teams and small groups to come and serve in Israel. We are receiving many inquiries. But like it was 2000 years ago when Matthew in Chapter 9, verse 37 & 38 said: “the harvest is indeed plentiful, but the workers are few. So pray to the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into his harvest”… The same is true today!
