Psalms 22


2. My God, my God, why have You forsaken me? [You are] far from my salvation [and] from the words of my moaning. ב. אֵלִי אֵלִי לָמָה עֲזַבְתָּנִי רָחוֹק מִישׁוּעָתִי דִּבְרֵי שַׁאֲגָתִי:
3. My God, I call out by day and You do not reply, and at night I do not keep silent. ג. אֱלֹהַי אֶקְרָא יוֹמָם וְלֹא תַעֲנֶה וְלַיְלָה וְלֹא דוּמִיָּה לִי:

7. But I am a worm and not a man; a reproach of man, despised by peoples. ז. וְאָנֹכִי תוֹלַעַת וְלֹא אִישׁ חֶרְפַּת אָדָם וּבְזוּי עָם:
8. All who see me will mock me; they will open their lips, they will shake their head. ח. כָּל רֹאַי יַלְעִגוּ לִי יַפְטִירוּ בְשָׂפָה יָנִיעוּ רֹאשׁ:
9. One should cast his trust upon the Lord, and He will rescue him; He will save him because He delights in him. ט. גֹּל אֶל יְהֹוָה יְפַלְּטֵהוּ יַצִּילֵהוּ כִּי חָפֵץ בּוֹ:
10. For You drew me from the womb; You made me secure on my mother's breasts. י. כִּי אַתָּה גֹחִי מִבָּטֶן מַבְטִיחִי עַל שְׁדֵי אִמִּי:
11. Upon You, I was cast from birth; from my mother's womb You are my God. יא. עָלֶיךָ הָשְׁלַכְתִּי מֵרָחֶם מִבֶּטֶן אִמִּי אֵלִי אָתָּה:
12. Do not distance Yourself from me, for distress is near; for there is none to help. יב. אַל תִּרְחַק מִמֶּנִּי כִּי צָרָה קְרוֹבָה כִּי אֵין עוֹזֵר:
13. Great bulls have surrounded me; the mighty ones of Bashan encompassed me. יג. סְבָבוּנִי פָּרִים רַבִּים אַבִּירֵי בָשָׁן כִּתְּרוּנִי:
14. They opened their mouth against me [like] a tearing, roaring lion. יד. פָּצוּ עָלַי פִּיהֶם אַרְיֵה טֹרֵף וְשֹׁאֵג:
15. I was spilled like water, and all my bones were separated; my heart was like wax, melting within my innards. טו. כַּמַּיִם נִשְׁפַּכְתִּי וְהִתְפָּרְדוּ כָּל עַצְמוֹתָי הָיָה לִבִּי כַּדּוֹנָג נָמֵס בְּתוֹךְ מֵעָי:
16. My strength became dried out like a potsherd, and my tongue cleaves to my palate; and You set me down in the dust of death. טז. יָבֵשׁ כַּחֶרֶשׂ | כֹּחִי וּלְשׁוֹנִי מֻדְבָּק מַלְקוֹחָי וְלַעֲפַר מָוֶת תִּשְׁפְּתֵנִי:
17. For dogs have surrounded me; a band of evildoers has encompassed me, like a lion, my hands and feet. יז. כִּי סְבָבוּנִי כְּלָבִים עֲדַת מְרֵעִים הִקִּיפוּנִי כָּאֲרִי יָדַי וְרַגְלָי:
18. I tell about all my bones. They look and gloat over me. יח. אֲסַפֵּר כָּל עַצְמוֹתָי הֵמָּה יַבִּיטוּ יִרְאוּ בִי:
19. They share my garments among themselves and cast lots for my raiment. יט. יְחַלְּקוּ בְגָדַי לָהֶם וְעַל לְבוּשִׁי יַפִּילוּ גוֹרָל:
20. But You, O Lord, do not distance Yourself; my strength, hasten to my assistance. כ. וְאַתָּה יְהֹוָה אַל תִּרְחָק אֱיָלוּתִי לְעֶזְרָתִי חוּשָׁה:
23. I will tell Your name to my brothers; in the midst of the congregation I will praise You. כג. אֲסַפְּרָה שִׁמְךָ לְאֶחָי בְּתוֹךְ קָהָל אֲהַלְלֶךָּ:
24. You who fear the Lord, praise Him; all the seed of Jacob, honor Him, and fear Him, all the seed of Israel. כד. יִרְאֵי יְהֹוָה | הַלְלוּהוּ כָּל זֶרַע יַעֲקֹב כַּבְּדוּהוּ וְגוּרוּ מִמֶּנוּ כָּל זֶרַע יִשְׂרָאֵל:

PASSOVER IS FOR YOU TODAY!

What is Passover? 


 Exodus 12 is the story of the Jewish people and how they came out of Egypt.  They were told not to eat bread with leaven(bread with yeast) for 7 days.  Why?  Leaven represents sin.  When you make bread, you put yeast in the dough to make it rise and become fluffy.  When we are spiritually fluffy, puffed up, we are prideful.  God resists the proud and gives grace to the humble.  In humility we must surrender the dirt in our lives asking Holy Spirit to put His perfectness upon us. This is the symbolism behind not eating physical yeast during the week of Passover.  Spiritually we take the Word(Yeshua is the Word that came in the flesh), into our hearts and minds and are changed to be Yeast(sin free), because of the sacrifice that Yeshua made on our behalf.
1 Cointhians 5:7, 8 says,  clean out the old yeast so that you may be a new batch of dough – you are, in fact, without yeast. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed.  This means that in Messiah Yeshua, His blood that has never stopped flowing is covering you at all times.


In Messiah, YOU ARE WITHOUT YEAST, this is what the Word says.

Next, the Jewish people were to to take a Lamb, one year old,  from their own flock without BLEMISH.  They were to take the Lamb into their own home and live with it and love it for 4 days (the 10th - 14th of Nissan).  Then the Lamb was to be roasted whole on a rod over a fire, not one bone was to be broken of the Lamb.  The intestines were wrapped around the horns like a crown.  At the time of the evening sacrifice the Lamb was to be killed.  The BLOOD of the Lamb mixed with hyssop was painted upon the doorposts of the Jewish homes or dwelling places and the Lamb was to be totally eaten.   Anything that was left of the Lamb that was not eaten had to be burned, symbolizing that flesh cannot be left alone, it must be surrendered and be put to death. 

Next, the people were to eat the dinner with their cloaks tucked into their belts, their sandals on their feet and their staff their hands. They were to be prepared.  Today we are to have oil in our lamps, the authority, (sandals), on our feet with the gospel of peace and the staff of comfort in our hands.  Psalms 23 thy rod and thy staff they comfort me."


Yeshua is the Passover Lamb that was without Blemish of the biological family, (flock), of the Jewish people.  No sin was found in Him, that is why Yeshua could take our sin upon Himself.  
2 Corinthians 5:21 
 God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that IN HIM WE might become the righteousness of God.

Yeshua went up to Jerusalem 4 day before His death, just as the Lamb was taken into the Jewish people`s homes 4 days before Passover (10th-14th of Nissan).   Yeshua went into the dwelling of His earthly people Jerusalem.
Yeshua road into Jerusalem on a donkey, (donkeys are precious).  Donkeys may be stubborn, but they are a beast that carries burdens.  The donkey had the job of carrying Yeshua into a place that would reject Him.  ARE YOU WILLING TO BE A DONKEY?  
A donkey was also used to turn the mill of the olive crusher so that the oil would flow.  Yeshua  was THE ONE who would be crushed for the whole world, so that the anointing oil of the Holy Spirit could flow into us.  Thus, Yeshua road a donkey into Jerusalem!
Zechariah 9:9  “Say to Daughter Zion,
   ‘See, your king comes to you,
gentle and riding on a donkey,
   and on a colt, the foal of a donkey



Not a bone in the Lamb`s body was to be BROKEN.  In Psalms 22 it says when the Messiah dies not a bone in His body would be broken.
Psalms 22:17-18
All my bones are on display(unbroken);
   people stare and gloat over me.
18 They divide my clothes among them
   and cast lots for my garment.  

Yeshua`s clothes were divided  among the Roman soldiers after His death.


The intestines were to be wrapped around the horns, symbolizing the dirt of the inside, literally excrement), being placed upon the horns of the head of the Passover Lamb.  This symbolizes the the humility it took for Yeshua to take our excrement, (sin), upon His head as a CROWN of thorns.  The Horns of the LAMB represent POWER and the HEAD represents AUTHORITY.  Yeshua took our heart dirt upon Himself, it pierced His head like the CROWN OF THORNS, because He was without sin.  Literally in history this was known as the CROWN OF SHAME.  Yeshua had the  POWER and AUTHORITY, being without sin, to  redeemed us, for a price(His death).  The Father paid the price of His SON`s death, Yeshua, to redeem mankind back to Himself.


In a Passover Seder their is something called "THE UNITY."  It is 3 Matzot wrapped in a cloth.  The middle Matzah is taken out and broken in half.  One half of the Matzah is broken between everyone at the table, symbolizing the perfect Messiah`s body broken and we are partakers of His broken body.  The other half of the Matzah is wrapped in a linen napkin, and hidden by the FATHER.  The children then go and find the Matzah, and the Father RANSOMS/REDEEMS the Matzah back for a Price.  Every single Jewish home does this every year at Passover Seders all over the world.  
We are the children that when we find Yeshua, (the Matzah), the Father redeems us back for a Price, the death of His Only Begotten Son.  He paid the price that we could not ever pay. 
Yeshua is ABLE,(MUST), caste our sin as far as the east is from the west, and remember them no more.
Yeshua died at the time of the evening sacrifice, exactly when the Passover Lamb was to be slaughtered.

Last, in the Exodus story, the Lamb was sacrificed, eaten, and blood placed upon the door posts; the Angel of Death came through and killed the firstborn of all humans and animals that did not have the blood mixed with hyssop painted on their door posts.  The door posts symbolizes our hearts.    It is the Gateway into our spiritual body.  They literally painted a mark on the sides and top of the door  frames, (below the mark that was used).  If the Blood was not applied to the door posts, physical death came.  Now in Yeshua, if the blood is not applied to the spiritual door posts of our hearts there will be a spiritual death now and in the life to come.  Thus, PASSOVER means that death Passed Over them and could not touch them.  They were covered by the blood.




The Blood mixed with hyssop  stands for purification.  Symbolically we place the Blood of the perfect and pure Lamb of God upon the doors of our hearts. 
  
Today, Yeshua says you are my SON and you are my DAUGHTER.  I died for you because I love you, unconditionally!
