Resources for Passover

Passover - Pesach - is soon approaching
and we are very excited!


"this day shall become to you a remembrance. 

And you shall observe it as a festival 

to {YHVH}  יהוה throughout your generations – 

observe it as a festival, an everlasting law."
Exodus 12:14 


Here are some of the resources
I have come across that can be useful
as we prepare for teaching and observing
this set-apart day to YHVH.

Videos:

Messiah in Passover - short video showing what Yeshua fulfilled in the Passover (4 minutes)

The Messiah - Prophecy Fulfilled - Movie showing how Yeshua fulfilled the Passover and how a Jewish man shares it with his family during their Passover observation. Longer but very good. (50 minutes)

Know Your Enemy (Part 12- The Plagues) -  See how the plagues that YHVH brought upon Egypt targeted specific "gods" that they worshiped, showing His authority as the One True Elohim.
Video is less than 8 minutes. Watch and connect some dots that maybe didn't connect before.Very interesting.

Let My People Go! Passover/Pesach Skit -  A skit we did with friends one year on Pesach :)


In the past, we have not used a haggadah (traditional "telling") for Passover,
but have only had the three items mentioned in Scripture while reading the Scripture pertaining to them.

But if one desires to add some of the traditions and have a haggadah to print and use,
I have found this one to be a pretty good one.

You Shall Tell Your Children - Messianic Passover Haggadah (pdf format)



One last resource to share is the Let My People Go board game.
We have found this to be a delightful game to play as a family!
And the rhymes are very cute and catchy.
The game is a little difficult to find (about $15) but worth the buy if you can find it!


May your Pesach be blessed! As well as your preparation!

Shalom!

Pesach Happenings

Pesach (Passover) and The Feast of Unleavened Bread

have come to an end this year

and I was able to take some time to look through

some of the moments that we captured.

One of the things we enjoyed this year

was our new board game - Let My People Go.

We chuckled at the rhymes 

as we made our way through the Exodus.

We, also, painted pillowcases to put on our pillows

that we brought with us to the seder (order of the Passover meal) we attended. 

We "experimented" with adding some tradition this year

and using pillows during the seder is a tradition that it used

to celebrate/commemorate not having to eat

the Passover meal in haste, as in the first Passover.

This is something we are still studying

but, this year, we did bring our pillows along

because we joined a traditional seder.

This was our first year to spend Passover with other people.

Who shall ascend into the hill of YHVH? 

or who shall stand in his set-apart place?
He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart...

Psalm 24:3-4

During the evening, the children put on a skit,

taking us through the plagues and the exodus.

It was a blessing to witness.

Putting the blood on the door posts

The death of the first borns

Pharoah was relentless...

We were all tickled to see Daddy do his part...

The evening was a new experience and a blessing in many ways.

The following afternoon/evening, the group we meet with

went through the parts of the Passover meal, as well.

It was a joy to meet for fellowship both times

and to hear, learn, and discuss the various applications.

Though I've only shared photos,

there was much more going on behind the scenes...

And though I may not have had some awesome revelation,

the Ruach (Spirit) was at work in my heart and mind

and it was a deep joy to draw nearer to the Father during this time.

I doubt that I will ever cease to be amazed at Abba's feast days.

They are like nothing I had ever experienced with other "holidays".

I will be eternally grateful that, in His mercy and lovingkindess,

He opened my eyes and changed my heart and mind.

Thank You, Abba.

I love You.

Happy Passover (Pesach)!

"Guard the month of Aḇiḇ,

and perform the Passover to יהוה   {YHVH} your Elohim,

for in the month of Aḇiḇ יהוה  {YHVH} your Elohim

brought you out of Mitsrayim by night."

Deuteronomy 16:1

"And the blood shall be a sign for you

on the houses where you are.

And when I see the blood, I shall pass over you,

and let the plague not come on you

to destroy you when I smite the land of Mitsrayim.

And this day shall become to you a remembrance.

And you shall observe it as a festival to יהוה

throughout your generations –

observe it as a festival, an everlasting law."

Exodus 12:13-14

"... and looking at {Yeshua} יהושע walking,

he said, “See the Lamb of Elohim!"

John 1:36

"saying with a loud voice,

“Worthy is the Lamb having been slain

to receive power and riches and wisdom,

and strength and respect and esteem and blessing!”

And every creature which is in the heaven

and on the earth and under the earth

and such as are in the sea,

and all that are in them, I heard saying,

“To Him sitting on the throne, and to the Lamb,

be the blessing and the respect

and the esteem and the might, forever and ever!"

Revelation 5:12-13

"Therefore cleanse out the old leaven,

so that you are a new lump, as you are unleavened.

For also Messiah our Passover was offered for us.

So then let us observe the festival,

not with old leaven,

nor with the leaven of evil and wickedness,

but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth."

1 Corinthians 5:7 

May your Passover be very blessed!

Chag Sameach!
