    Leviticus Chapter 23

    PASSOVER AND UNLEAVENED BREAD AND FIRST FRUITS

    The bread represents Jesus as the bread of life, broken, beaten, whipped, and pierced before His crucifixion. He was sinless, (without leaven). His life is what sustains believers, just as the manna sustained the Israelites in the wilderness.

    The wine was the daily drink with meals of the Israelites along with water. It represents the blood of Jesus that cleanses us from all sin and makes us whole and holy.

    Jesus was crucified during the daytime of the Passover Sabbath. He was the Passover Lamb.

    On the day after the weekly Sabbath following Passover is the feast of first-fruits. This is a feast celebrating the early spring harvest of grain. The first crop that ripens and is harvested.

    This is a feast that gives thanks to YHWH for providing their food.

    Jesus rose from the dead on the feast of the first-fruits. ! Cor. 15:23 speaks of Jesus being the first fruit of all who will be resurrected.

    Hi GiGi.

    I would hope you take this in love, that you look back at Exodus on your last two post on Leviticus 23. The Passover day is not a sabbath, it is a preparation day for the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread that is the sabbath day, the 15th. Passover day is the 14th of Nisan/Aviv this is the day that Jesus was crucified and the reason they had to put Him in the tomb before the sun went down that would be the 15th a Sabbath day.

    Jesus and His disciples did not eat the Passover meal, Luke 22:15-16. The Jewish day starts at sundown so when Jesus and the disciples went in the room for the last supper, that was the beginning of the Passover day, the 14th the preparation day for the 7-day feast.

    So, the last supper, going into the garden, Judas betrayal, Jesus' arrest, trial, crucifixion. When Jesus died was the same time the Passover lambs were being killed, all on the 14th, Passover day before the sun went down.

    Like in Exodus they killed the lamb on the 14th Exodus 12:6-10 and put the blood on the door posts and had to stay in the house and eat the meal that night that would be the 15th, and could not leave until after midnight, Exodus 12:29,42.

    God bless,
