The Passover lamb (or goat) isn't a sacrifice in the sense that word is usually used. Your English translations of Exodus, etc., may talk about "offering the Passover sacrifice", but the Hebrew really just says "kill the Passover". Moreover, no part of the Passover, including the blood, ever touches the altar.

Although the Passover must be killed at Jerusalem, it doesn't have to be done at the Temple or by a Levitical priest. According to 2 Chronicles 30:17, the pre-exilic, ancient Israelites believed that the Passover could be killed by any ritually clean person, and I don't see anything in Torah to contradict them.

"The letter to the Galatians is one of the most misunderstood of Paul’s writings. In this video, [G. Steven Simons] captures the true Hebraic context of the times and discover that Paul is not anti-Torah, he is against teaching the nations that they must convert to Judaism, receive the mark of conversion (circumcision) and keep the oral traditions to be saved."

While re-researching the Pesach last week, Ex 12:42 came to my attention. (I don't know how I haven't "seen" it before.) It reads "It is a night of watching to be observed for the Lord for having brought them out of the land of Egypt; this night is for the Lord, to be observed and celebrated by all the Israelites throughout their generations."

So, we kept our first night watch after our Pesach meal. Each person in my house had a slot to keep watch.

Do you keep watch/vigil as part of your Pesach?

We have been set free! All glory and praise to our Messiah Yeshua!

Happy Pesach 2022!!! HalleluYAH!!!

Abraham did not circumcise himself before his faith, but because of it. We do not keep God's Law to earn salvation, but because we are saved.

In Matthew 12:38-40 Yeshua tells the crowd that the only sign he will give is the sign of Jonah. He specifically states that this sign is 3 days and 3 nights in the heart of the earth. Why then do we see it said that he died on a Friday before nightfall and rose on a Sunday before sunrise (i.e. a day and a half) ? A misunderstanding of Scripture and Hebrew context. We don't learn about God's Feasts in the church. The only one we ever hear about is the weekly Sabbath. So when another rest (Sabbath) day is referenced, we associate it with the weekly Sabbath instead of what it actually is.

In my As The Torah Scrolls comic last week, I pointed out if we follow Mary Magdalene and Mary mother of James and the events that transpired of what they did, we have the true 3 days and 3 nights. With their purchases and preparation, there is no way to fit them into the Friday-Sunday model, unless you believe, much like Walmart, vendors were open overnight then. To say it is anything less than these 3 days and 3 nights is making hoops to jump through or creating theories that have no basis in the culture or context of the Bible to cram 3 days/nights into a day and a half. There is no supporting Scripture or supporting evidence that shows the Hebrews counted parts of a days as a full day. This is taking the Greek words and running with them, because in the Greek it could mean just part of a day.

The timing of Passover changes each year. When you follow a Biblical calendar, you can see that. This year, Passover fell on what the church calls Good Friday. First Fruits, when Yeshua rose, is always the first day of the week, Sunday. So this year, it would appear that the church is teaching correctly to one not versed in the Feast days. However, in previous years and the upcoming years, Passover will be on a different day of the week (e.g. Passover last year was Monday night). Just like in Yeshua's time.
