Shalom and Blessings;
This year's Passover Seder was a special treat and a true blessing. Even though it was not like any other Passover we have ever celebrated, with friends and family sitting around the table with us, it was still a very special time. Imagine, not since the first Passover have we had the opportunity to celebrate the way our ancestors did thousands of years ago, just before leaving Egypt.
Exodus 21 Then Moses summoned all the elders of Israel and said to them, "Go at once and select the animals for your families and slaughter the Passover lamb. 22 Take a bunch of hyssop, dip it into the blood in the basin and put some of the blood on the top and on both sides of the doorframe. None of you shall go out of the door of your house until morning. 23 When the LORD goes through the land to strike down the Egyptians, he will see the blood on the top and sides of the doorframe and will pass over that doorway, and he will not permit the destroyer to enter your houses and strike you down.
Our Lamb had already been selected; Yeshua the Messiah, He was already acceptable and unblemished, His blood had already been applied to the doorposts of our hearts. This Passover night we symbolically applied it to the doorframe of our apartment's entrance and remained secluded in our home as the angel of death passed us by!
Come quickly Lord Yeshua, redeem us and redeem Israel from all her troubles.
Ellen here…As I stand in agreement with all that Rabbi has written I would like to add the following. Before sundown we received an SMS from a secular Israeli ministry asking all the people of Israel to go out on their balconies at 8.30 pm to recite the Ma Nishtana…the four questions together. What a joyous time as our neighbors here in Ashkelon emerged onto their balconies and we recited in unison the four questions followed by hag Pesach sameach to each other…ONLY IN ISRAEL!!! We wish you all blessings and breakthroughs as we persevere in this time. Come back Yeshua and redeem us…
