A True an Accurate Meaning of Passover part 6

Continueing on with our thought:

There is of necessity three cups the two of the meal and then the cup in the garden. The cup of the New Covenant which signifies the end of the now Old and the bringing of the New which replaces the broken Old Covenants, the Law, Psalms and the Prophets in their proper place of fulfillment or completion in consummation in Jesus. This is the cup of the meal. Then the cup which conceals that which it contains, as a bag conceals what is in it, such as a cloth bag or an old wine skin so conceals from sight that which is hidden or had been so hidden from literal veiw. This is what the custom or practice of the Passover and the Lord's Marriage Feast concealed in its meaning in the elements and the double purpose or application as a Marriage Feast and a death of an old nature (as passed to all sons of Adam) and the New Life promised mankind at Genesis 3:15 and 21. The Life restored through the now New nature in the second Adam. A re-birthing from above becoming spiritually alive or to wake up as from the dead. As a seed buried and which is dead then comes to life we know not how (John 12:24). Paul spends four chapters in Romans dealing with sin and its death and the exchange of these two natures which took place during the Lord's Last Supper on through His ascension and we might add the giving of the Holy Spirit on Pentecost. When we so receive Him we're in the process of entering into righteousness wherein our spirit begins to feed on the figurative language of God's Living Word. In the Epistle to the Hebrews the writer relates to the Lord's own words in the eating of His flesh and the drinking of His blood both being a shadow in type of the promised New Covenant that came about through the office of His death and the shedding of His Blood. He consummated the first (The Old) to inaugurate the second, the New. This He could only do because they both have to do with Him being their centers.

Christ was given all power”-Psalm 2: 6-8; Matthew 11: 27, 28:18; John 1: 29, 10:17-18, 24, 17: 2.
I am the resurrection and the Life”-Exodus 3:14; Ecclesiastes 12:1; John 11: 25.
"Behold the blood of the covenant, which the Lord has made with you."-Genesis 3:15, 21; Exodus 24: 8; Mark 14:24; Hebrews 9: 20.
"This cup is the new covenant in My blood."-Genesis 14: 18; 1 Corinthians 11: 25; Matthew 26: 28.
"The blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified."- Hebrews 10: 29.
"The blood of the everlasting covenant. "-Genesis 14:18; Hebrews 13: 21.
" I give thee for a covenant of the people."-Genesis 3:15; Isaiah 42: 6, 49: 8; Matthew 26: 28; Romans 3: 25-26.
The Lord shall suddenly come to His temple, even the Messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in.” -Genesis 2:7; Malachi 3:1; Haggai 2: 7-9; Luke 2: 11, 21-32, 38, 46; Acts 7: 38.
The prayer of Faith”-Matthew 21:21-22, Mark 11:22-24; Luke 11:8-10, John 14:13, 1 John 5:14-15.
" Jesus was made Surety of a better covenant. "-Genesis 3:15, 21; Hebrews 7: 22.
"The Mediator of the Better Covenant, established upon better promises . . . . The Mediator of the New Covenant . . . . We are come to Jesus, the Mediator of the New Covenant." -Hebrews 8: 6, 9: 15, 12: 24.
He is our need and the supply for that need”-Exodus 3:11-12, 14-15, 4:10-14; Deuteronomy 8:3-4; Philippians 4:19, 1 Corinthians 1:4, 2 Corinthians 12:9; 2 Timothy 2:1, John 1:14, 17.
Through the blood of the Everlasting Covenant, Make you perfect in every good work to do His Will, working in you that which is well pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. -Hebrews 13: 20-21.

The principle of the promised Newness of Life in two parts, the first as the propitiation which is the completion or consummation of all that had gone before, sin and death, then of His ontological essence which was in the original Adam in Genesis 1:27, 2:7 as the corporate or federal head of His Body. Since Genesis He has been symbolized by the appointed images, instruments, figures, and utilities in Jewish symbols of worship. Now done away with as the bread and then the second the inauguration of Newness of Life in the cup in which there was wine a symbol of His Blood as the New Covenant sealed by His Spirit of Life, in His blood in all righteousness. This is to be a memorial once practiced but now not so for us, for while He in His ontological essence, His likeness and, His character is being increased within us, again as we become a second Adam.”-Jeremiah 31:30-36; Matthew 26:28; Hebrews 8:6-13, 9:15

Christ is the principle of Life through Light, Love, Grace in Truth and Spirit. For we now worship the Father is Spirit and in Truth as a son of God by faith.”-John 4:23-24, 14:16-18, 16:13

Then in 1 Corinthians Paul covers it in similar fashion from chapter 5 through 15 mostly in figurative language under the direction of the Holy Spirit. Allow me to turn to 1 Corinthians 5:7 where we find:

1Corinthians 5:7-8
Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us: Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.”
As the body or flesh of Christ was of the old leaven, just as ours is but it is said that He had no malice, guile of bitterness in Him (1 Peter 2:22). We could place several words in such places as “the old leaven” or sin, lawlessness, iniquity, wickedness...etc., and “a new lump” with spiritually awakened, sanctified, and righteousness. All through the idea of opening up to public view the Truth, the exposing of the mysteries or secret things hid by God from Israel's and all unredeemed mans understanding. These things are also hid from plan view from those who have entered the first estate in redemption until the Holy Spirit has properly prepared them as the ground is prepared to receive the seed, in Love. For true Faith works through or in Love, not mans philio love of weakness and niggardliness but God's Agape Love restored.
