The first and second of seven Feasts of ๐ค๐ค๐ค ๐ค (YAHUAH) is Pesach or Passover and Matstsah or Unleavened Bread. The Feast of Pesach / Passover is tonight at sundown while the Feast of Matstsah / Unleavened Bread begins on the fifteenth day (sunrise is the beginning of a day) and ends on the twenty-first day at sundown (sunset ends a day).
The Feast of Pesach / Passover is a foreshadow of our ๐ค๐ค๐ค ๐ค๐ค ๐ค (Yahushua) Messiah’s offer of salvation. Just as the blood of a lamb on the door of the Israelites signals that the house should be passed over by death, by accepting ๐ค๐ค๐ค ๐ค๐ค ๐ค (Yahushua) Messiah as our Saviour the precious blood he shed washes away cover our sins and stops the second death from having power over us.
While the Feast of Matstsah or Unleavened Bread is a type of our new journey in life. Just as the Israelites only have to eat matstsah or unleavened bread when they fled Mitsriym (Egypt) and into the wilderness, likewise we were saved by ๐ค๐ค๐ค ๐ค (YAHUAH) through his one and only Son ๐ค๐ค๐ค ๐ค๐ค ๐ค (Yahushua) from the power of Mitsriym (Egypt) which symbolises sin and our fallen nature. Our journey to the wilderness begins where we will be taught by ๐ค๐ค๐ค ๐ค๐ค ๐ค (Yahushua) and continually test our faith to make us resilient and stronger, just as the Israelites were taught by ๐ค๐ค๐ค ๐ค (YAHUAH) in the wilderness, and their faith tested multiple times.
Together, both the Feast of Pesach / Passover and the Feast of Matstsah or Unleavened Bread points to our ๐ค๐ค๐ค ๐ค๐ค ๐ค (Yahushua) Messiah’s famous “Last Supper” or “Communion”.
Tonight and for the next seven days, let us remember what our Abba (Father) ๐ค๐ค๐ค ๐ค (YAHUAH) did to the Israelites, who some of us are our ancestors by blood, and later when our Abba (Father) ๐ค๐ค๐ค ๐ค (YAHUAH) gave his one and only begotten Son ๐ค๐ค๐ค ๐ค๐ค ๐ค (Yahushua) to become our Messiah (Saviour) should we accept him and confess He was sent here by the Most High to save you and me.
Happy Pesach and Matstsah my brothers and sisters in ๐ค๐ค (YAH).
