The Jewish Passover Week Prophecy

What is the Biblical Passover Week Purpose?

The Passover week feasts and celebrations which are the Holy days that the Israelites were told, by God through Moses, to honor each year, were actually ... Shadows of things to come.

Colossians 2:16-17

16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:
17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.

In other words ... God created the Hebrew Passover week celebrations as signs of major spiritual events that would occur on these feast and celebration Holy days in the future. You will find after you have completed this Passover Bible study that the Jewish feasts and celebrations which have been celebrated by the Israelites from the time of the exodus from Egypt, were created by God as shadows of many spiritual events that occurred such as the baptism and death of Jesus.

What does the Bible say of this feast and celebration in Israel known as the Biblical Passover week?

Leviticus 23:5

In the fourteenth day of the first month at even is the LORD's Passover.

You have probably heard the story of how the Jewish Passover celebration came about, but do not realize it. It is the story of the great exodus from Egypt (see the Book of Exodus) after God had plagued the Egyptians for not letting His people go, Moses told the Jewish people that the angel of death was coming to kill all the first born of Egypt and in order for the Israelites to protect their first born children from this angel of death, they needed to place lamb's blood on their homes for the angel of death to pass over them. It was called ... Passover.

The Jewish Passover Week Promise

In this Jewish Passover celebration, they were to bring in an unblemished lamb on the tenth day of the first month of the Jewish calendar and keep this lamb for four days. Then on the fourteenth day of the first month the Israelites would kill their lamb and place the Blood of the Lamb on their homes to save themselves. They were told to do this every year and was called Passover.

Remember ... This celebration was a shadow of an event to come:

Colossians 2:16-17

16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:
17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.

The event was the promise of the Messiah ... Jesus.

Jesus' Death

Jewish Passover Bible Study Field Trip - Jesus, known as the Lamb without sin, came into Jerusalem on the tenth day of the first month and stayed for four days. He was slain (like the lamb was) on the fourteenth day of the first month just as the Jewish people were celebrating Passover.

His blood is now the Saving Grace.

There is a Jewish feast and celebration in Israel known as First Fruits which was three days after Passover where the Jewish people were to offer an he lamb without blemish as a sacrifice to their Lord.

Leviticus 23:10-14

10 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come into the land which I give unto you, and shall reap the harvest thereof, then ye shall bring a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest unto the priest:
11 And he shall wave the sheaf before the Lord, to be accepted for you: on the morrow after the sabbath the priest shall wave it.
12 And ye shall offer that day when ye wave the sheaf an he lamb without blemish of the first year for a burnt offering unto the Lord.
13 And the meat offering thereof shall be two tenth deals of fine flour mingled with oil, an offering made by fire unto the Lord for a sweet savour: and the drink offering thereof shall be of wine, the fourth part of an hin.
14 And ye shall eat neither bread, nor parched corn, nor green ears, until the selfsame day that ye have brought an offering unto your God: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.

This celebration was a shadow of an event to come ... Jesus' Resurrection.

Three days after Jesus, the He Lamb without sin (blemish) was killed, He was Resurrected on Sunday morning as our spiritual sacrifice. God used Jesus as that He Lamb because there were not enough sheep in all the world to atone for their sins.

The Hebrew Passover Bible Events
The Jewish Passover Week Mystery

This brings us to an interesting Passover Bible study fact. It is written that Jesus would be resurrected 3 days and 3 nights after He was crucified. Jesus entered Jerusalem on Palm Sunday and was "kept" for 4 days just as the unblemished lamb was to be in the Passover. If He was in the earth for 3 days and 3 nights and resurrected on Sunday morning, this reveals He was killed on Thursday, not "Good Friday." Research proves that the change was made to accommodate those who made the change. Tsk tsk.

In addition ... Many believe that, because the Jewish people asked that Jesus' crucified body be taken down from the cross because it would be "Sabbath" at sunset. (Sabbath is Friday sunset to Saturday sunset.)

John 19:31

The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath day was an high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.

So the next day was a Sabbath day (a day of rest from work).

Passover Bible Study Trivia ... Did you notice that it said that this particular Sabbath was a "high" Sabbath day, meaning it was a special Sabbath. The Sabbath being spoken of is a special Sabbath that occurred the day after Passover.

Leviticus 23:6-7

And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread unto the LORD: seven days ye must eat unleavened bread. In the first day ye shall have an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein.

The first day (the 15th day of the month) was the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread and was a special Sabbath and at sunset it would have been this special Sabbath, not the weekly Sabbath.


The Hebrew Passover Bible Debate
The Jewish Passover Week Math

Work Six Days, Rest on the Seventh

The Bible says that God worked six days ... Genesis, Chapter 1, and on the seventh day, He rested, Genesis 2:2. God also made this law apply to His people. They were to:

  • Work six days and rest on the seventh, Exodus 20:9-10.
  • And six years thou shalt sow thy land, and shall gather in the fruits thereof, Exodus 23:10.
  • If His people had a servant or slave, they were to work six years and be set free the seventh year, Exodus 21:2.
  • God's people were also to sow in the land and gather fruits for six years but not on the seventh, Leviticus 25:3-4.
  • Even Jesus, when He was put on the Cross, hung there six hours, and died at the beginning of the seventh hour, Mark 15:25 and Mark 15:34-37.

The math which proves the Hebrew Passover Bible prophecy is right before our eyes and actually kinda simple to comprehend. Matthew reveals that Jesus was found missing the day after Sabbath.

Matthew 28:1

In the end of the Sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulcher.

How can it be then that they asked Jesus to be taken down from the cross on the day before Sabbath and His body was found missing the day after Sabbath when we know He was in the earth 3 days and 3 nights?

Matthew 12:40

For as Jonas [Jonah] was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man [Jesus] be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

Let's do the math ... 3 days and 3 nights. That is 72 hours. If He was taken down from the cross just before Sabbath began that Sabbath would be the first night.

Jesus died at 3:00 PM ...

Let's say it got dark at 8:00 PM on the weekly Sabbath. (Friday at sunset)
24 hours later it would be Saturday at sunset.
48 hours later it would be Sunday at sunset.
72 hours later it would be Monday at sunset.

Problem is that Jesus was found missing Sunday morning.

As I said ... Simple math.

The High Sabbath was not the weekly Sabbath.
