According to the Bible, the crucifixion of Yeshua, the Messiah, took place on the 13th of Nisan, the “Day of Preparation” just prior to the beginning of Passover. That year, Nisan 13 was on Wednesday, and it automatically became a Sabbath day, designated as a “High Day”, or a “High Sabbath”. See John 19:31. Messiah was crucified and taken down from the cross and buried before sundown that day. Three days later, on Saturday after sundown, He was resurrected, having spent 3 days and 3 nights in the tomb, as declared in scripture. The chart below outlines the sequence of events, followed by Apostle Vince’s detailed analysis of those events. Jo Lynne Pool
A Redemptive Revelation Of Messiah In The Feast Of Passover
Apostle Vincent R. Pool, Sr.
In The Hebraic (Biblical) Calendar, We Are In The Month Of The
Feast Of Passover (Nisan). This Is The First Of God’s Three
“Appointed Times”, Which Also Includes The Feast Of
Pentecost, And The Feast Of Tabernacles.
Passover Occurs In The First Month Of The Sacred Calendar
(Nisan), And Usually Takes Place In Late March, Or Early April,
So It Is Also Known As A Spring Festival, Representing A
Newness Of Life. Passover Is Actually A Three-Part Feast Which
Totally Depicts And Portrays The Redemptive Sacrifice Of The
Lord Yashuah Ha Machiach Through The Shedding Of His Blood. The Pattern, Preparation, And Process Of Passover Was A Total
Depiction Of The Last Few Days Of Our Saviors’ Natural Life.
(1) The Choosing Of The Lamb – Picture Yashuah Triumphantly
Riding Into Jerusalem On The Foal Of An Ass, Being Hailed As
The Messiah, The Son Of David, The Peoples’ Choice. (Exodus 12:3-10, Matthew 21:1-11, Mark 11:1-11, Luke 19:28-40, John 12:12-23).
(2) The Removal Of Leaven(which represents sin) From The
House, Or The Feast Of Unleavened Bread – See Yashuah (The Bread
Of Life) Going Into The Temple (The House Of God), Turning
Over The Tables, And Driving Out The Money Changers, Totally
Cleansing And Purifying (Restoring Holiness And Righteousness) To The House (Exodus 12:15-20, Matthew 21:12-16, Mark
11:15-19, Luke 19:45-48, 1 Corinthians 5:7-8).
(3) The Examination Of The Lamb For Faults And Blemishes By
The Fathers – See Yashuah Taken Before The Sanhedrin (Scribes,
Pharisees, Elders, Fathers Of The Faith), And Even Before Pilate
(Who Represented the World, Mixed Multitude, Gentiles), And
Found To Be Without Fault, Therefore He Was The Only
Sacrifice Qualified To Be The Redemptive Lamb Of God. (Exodus 12:5-6, Matthew 26:57-68, 27:1-2, 11-26)
(4) See The Lamb (Yashuah), Go Through The Preparation Of
Sacrifice (Scourged, Beaten, Crowned With Thorns And
Disrobed), And Then Finally Put Upon The Altar of Calvary’s
Cross, Thus Becoming Our Substitute, Totally Consumed As
Gods’ Ultimate Eternal Sacrifice, That Allows Us To Cover
Ourselves (Our Houses-Temples Of God) With The Blood Of Our
Sacrificial Lamb, And Thus We Passover From Death To Life,
Totally Redeemed From The Bondage of The Enemy (sin). (Matthew 26:59-27:50, Mark 14:53-15:37, Luke22:54-23:46, John 18:12-19:30).
(5) The Feast Of First Fruit – See Yashuah Overcome The Power
Of Death, Thus Becoming The First Born (First Fruit) Of The
Resurrection, And Also Of Many Brethren (Kingdom Harvest) Of
Which We Represent Because Of The Newness of Life That Has
Now Been Instilled In Us Through the Blood Of The Lamb. (Leviticus 23:9-14, Matthew 28:1-20, Mark 16;1-20, Luke 24:1-53, John 20:1-31).
Passover And All That It Depicts and Entails, Sets Us On A
Glorious Path Toward Our Ultimate Destiny In God and Our
Place Of Promise (Inheritance) As Eternal Sons Of The Kingdom!
Passover Also Represents The First Court Of The Tabernacle,
The Outer Court, Because All Are Invited And Welcome To
Receive The Redemption, Deliverance and Healing,That Are
Wrought For Us By God Through The Blood Of Our Passover
Lamb!
Blessings! Shalom!
