A True an Accurate Meaning of Passover part 1

1Corinthians 11:28
“But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body. For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.”

By the leading of the Spirit of Christ, I must open His revelation. Because of what Paul herein called an "unworthy manor". For I personally saw this from my childhood in the church and denomination that my parents and grandparents belonged to. And then in our later years as we searched for a true church home, we found none. We searched though the Lord had already called us out from among them. But like so many others we did not understand His meaning because we were caught up in religion and its false activities which mimic God's purposes. And its because of this that many don't properly discern the Lord's body because they don't know or see what it was that Jesus did, by way of verbal language, as recorded by His witnesses, those being the synoptic gospels. When He shared the Last meal with those close to Him. This said we'll make use of the pattern which the Holy Spirit revealed to Paul, that being the use of both the Old and then the New which enforces the new revelation or testimony of Christ. This is done because “Christ or Messiah” was before the foundation of the World, as Yehovah. And we all know that He had total Authority as the Most High God, the Ancient of Days, the one in the likeness of the Son of man (Daniel 7:13).

While doing our daily early morning devotionals which includes seeking God and His righteousness through His written Word, my wife Glenda and I found some very interesting things about the Lord our Passover, which caused this writing.

Guess I should say before we get started on this adventure this, that we seek to know God spiritually before any practical knowledge can be learned. Why? Because that's just the way we are and this has caused many of our friends trouble as they remain more earthy and take all things in a practical manor or quite literally. Which is to take God's revelation of Christ purely as the Hebrews scribes, Sadducee's and Pharisee's and so forth did. As the letter which we now know kills. Why? Because it breeds falsehood in the guise of mans religion or religious practices through his intellect. That's just the way they are. It is from the spiritual side that we've generated this scripture study.

You may ask, Why? Because with the words, "It Is Finished" which Christ spoke while suspended between heaven and hell, earth. Things were changed by God. This is seen first in Acts then in 1 Corinthians chapter 15 in verses 47-49, we'll look at it from 45-51a where it says this: "And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul (Genesis 2:6-7) the last Adam was made a quickening spirit (John 3:3, 7; James 1:17, 3:17; 1 Peter 1:23). Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual (Genesis 1:26-27), but that which is natural (Genesis 2: 6-7); and afterward that which is spiritual (Luke 24:31, John 20:19, 26). The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven. As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly. And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. Behold, I shew you a mystery;"

One of the things we did was a word search in the Strong's Dictionary for Passover we found the word “pesach” and that it means not only the festival but also the victim or the lamb of that festival. We must consider also the ram with the red ribbon tied to its horns and taken out into the wilderness and released which may require another study.

We'll need to go back to Isaac to uncover the meaning of all things spiritual because he was the son promised Abraham by his (as Abram) trusting God, the taking Him at His word. Which Paul capitalizes on in Hebrews chapter 11, the faith chapter. Which we cover in our blog at, http://thegospelofpaul.blogspot.com/, titled Paul's Mysteries Revealed, which has a link on this site. But for now Jacob though a son of Isaac was not as flesh ruled as Esau was and was therefore more favored by God. But for this purpose Jacob was made halt or lame after the Angel of the Lord wrestled with him and He touched the inside of his hip and it became out of joint. This has been the spiritual condition of Israel as a nation ever since. For we find that Aaron's priesthood (consisting of Levi's heirs) only ministered in the external or material realm as they took God's word literally and therefore they did not please God. Though God gave them a covenant of peace. This has been the same condition of most churched and unchurched peoples ever since. For all have sin and therefore fall short of the Glory of God, because the just or righteous, walk by faith or simply by trusting God to do as He has said. Abraham trusted God to do as He had promised even though he struggled with it for over fifty years he still showed his trusting by leaving his fathers house and homeland.

We also know that the book of Revelation has a lot to reveal about the Lamb of God in figurative language just as used in the Old Testament. When studying any scriptures we need to ask the aid of the Holy Spirit and the help of the Lord before and during our study. Then we need to wait on Him to reveal His Truth. I might also say that Jesus used many parables, metaphors, allegiances and other figurative language to reveal what was about to take place, such as the eating His flesh and drinking His blood or partaking of bread and wine as first introduced in Genesis 3:21, where God sacrificed an animal and then used that animals coat to cover mans nakedness and blood as the force to forgive him of his new sin nature. This is further strengthened by the Priest of the Most High God, Melchizedek as seen in Genesis chapter 14 and verse 18. Where he bring out with him when he meets Abraham after the battle with the king's bread and wine.

Jesus as was His custom throughout the Old Testament as Yehovah used figurative language as a means of convaying His message in the New Testament, and illustrating or alluding to Himself with and by such words as: seed, light, truth, life, eternal, born again, bread, wine, fire, flesh, blood, water, earth, and a host of others. Within the Old He used: for ever, end of days, ever lasting, Yehovah-Nissi, Yehovah-Shaloam, Ruach-Holy Spirit, "Ehyeh asher Ehyeh or I AM that I AM in Exodus 3:13-15 and many more titles which revealed His character as His personality remains the same yesterday, to day, and forever.
