The Passover Water Jar: The Overlooked Prophecy of the Last Supper

One of Jesus last instructions to his disciples would be to prepare the Passover specifically by looking for a man carrying a jar of water who would lead them to the venue where they would partake in the establishment of the new covenant. But have you ever wondered why was the sign of the man they need to meet marked by by a water jar? I want to submit to you that in this answer multiple often overlooked prophecies from the Torah are fulfilled. From the accounts of Eliezer, Jacob, Moses, to the wedding of Canaan, to the crucifixion, the coming new heavens and earth and beyond, we are going to talk about what Paul calls the the profound mystery. Let's get right into it. Hey guys, my name is pd. I'm just coming out of the flu here, so thank you for bearing with me, but I can't wait to share with you about this. In Luke 22:10 we read he said to them, behold, when you have entered the city, a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him into the house that he enters and tell the master of the house, the teacher says to you, where is the guest room where I may eat the Passover with my disciples? And he will show you a large upper room furnished. Prepare it there. Alright. So Jesus tells his disciples to look for a man carrying this jar of water and this would be the sign that he is the one to provide the venue for the final and the greatest Passover that Yeshua would have with his disciples. Now this is not by accident. Think about the previous encounters that happened at water in the Torah, also known as what we call the Old Testament. For example, Eliezer was sent to find a wife for his master Isaac, and he comes to a well and meets Rebekah there and she is tested to see whether she would water the camels and be qualified to marry Isaac. Rebekah of course passes the test and the water was the sign that the marriage covenant is about to be established between Isaac and Rebekah. Lets look at another example. Jacob meets Rachel at a well as well and is tested in character to water the flock we see in Genesis 29:10. Now as soon as Jacob saw Rachel, the daughter of Laban, his mother's brother, and the sheep of Laban, his mother's brother, Jacob came near and rolled the stone from the well's mouth and watered the flock of Laban, his mother's brother. So again we see that the water, him watering this flock was the sign that the marriage covenant was about to be established between Jacob and Rachel. Let's look at One more example. Moses meets Zephorah at a well in Exodus 2. And there he is also tested in his character to deliver the women at the well from the shepherds. We see in Exodus 2:19, they said an Egyptian delivered us out of the hands of the shepherds, and even drew water for us and watered the flock. Speaking of Moses, the water again was the sign that a marriage covenant was about to be established. And in this case it was Moses meeting Zephorah. So whether it's Rebecca watering the camels, whether it's Jacob watering the flock, whether it's Moses watering the flock, what is up with these parallels around the water, These marriage covenants all prefigures the coming marriage covenant between God and His people. We read in Ephesians 5:32 about that. It says, this mystery is profound. And I am saying that it refers to Christ and the Church. You ask, what mystery is he talking about? Well, he told us in verse 31, therefore a man shall leave his father and mother, hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh. So Paul is drawing a parallel for us, explaining that a marital relationship itself somehow shines the light of Christ and his salvation and relationship with his people. Now just consider one aspect of this. Consider the trials in marriage. I mean, in marriage, sometimes things go wrong. There can be betrayal, disappointment in a spouse, or unhappiness. These are things that many people, maybe even you, have lived firsthand. But have you considered the other side of this? That such were all of us towards God, that we have betrayed him, we have abandoned him by our actions, and we have caused him great sorrow. And Yeshua continued watering the flock. He remained patient with us. He remained loving and calling us to repentance, yet always extending his hand of grace even unto his very death. For a people that rejected him. And by that power of sacrifice, many would be saved by Him. I mean, think about that. It is the love that he has manifested, not just for a people who loved him back, but for a people who, who hated him at times. That's the kind of love that turned the hearts of those people, saved them, not just to give them eternal life, but to save their hearts from the wickedness that they were inclined to in their previous life. And so in the same way, perhaps that is a call for us that just as Christ responded to evil with good, so when we respond to evil with good, we can bring change to the situation as well. And responding to evil with evil, while that may be our default and most easy and most fleshly response that would only make things worse and not heal. Christ has proven that there is power in in turning the other cheek. And that power extends even to touch the heart of the other person in ways that we could really be shocked by, but we shouldn't be shocked by, because we have seen it has happened to us. We have become saved, we have become changed, because that's how God has treated us, even though we did not deserve that treatment. Grace truly has power to change the heart of man. We also see that Jesus was tested in a similar way to Rebecca, Jacob and Moses at the wells, just as we previously discussed whereby which they were tested to see whether they would water the flock as a product of their good character. And in the same way Jesus passed the test, for he watered his flock, he not only watered, but he became the well itself of living water, meaning that he literally poured himself out for his flock. We read in John 19:34, but one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and at once there came out blood. And see, this is the well of living water that Yeshua spoke about before when he said in John 7:37, and in the last, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood up and cried out, saying, if anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink. And he was believing in me, according to, as the writing said, rivers out of his belly shall flow of living water. Jesus spoke of the death that he would lead, but that also at his death there will be an outpouring of water, living waters, that is the Holy Spirit. And I mean, what is the result of that? When Rebekah, Jacob or Moses started their covenant journeys at their outpourings of water for the flock, it led to life. They started their marriage covenants and children were produced. But life was produced not only in having a physical offspring, but the spiritual offspring. Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, they are remembered today not for their physical offspring, for you know, anyone can have children. But we remember them because of the spiritual offspring God has brought forth through that lineage. And that spiritual offspring could only come forth because of Yeshua. Yeshua came later through that very line, so that all who had believed in him would not perish but have eternal life. Do you not see now how Yeshua was the well of living water that Rebekah, Jacob and Moses drew from for the sake of their marriage covenants, and it produced a life in their marriages that resulted in a multitude of spiritual offspring blessed by the hand of God. That is what fulfilled the promise made to Abraham of as many children as stars in the heavens. It was fulfilled in Christ, to whom all spiritual children are brought by the power of his living water. And this is the purpose of the Passover, that as death is looming over this world, that anyone who desires life can have blood on their doorpost, partake in the living water, and be grafted into the spiritual offspring of Abraham, that we may live and be with God forever. But as we discussed, out of Yeshua's side poured not only water, but blood as well. And to understand the depths of what this could mean, I want us to remember the wedding of Cana, which prefigures this, where Jesus turns the water into wine. I mean, think about this for a second. He turns water into wine as a picture of two elements. Water is something we drink to quench our thirst. Wine is something we drink for enjoyment. And so the guest at that wedding was a picture of the guests that he is pouring himself out for, who would not only have their spiritual thirst quenched once and for all, but would receive the pleasure, the wine of abundant life, life with God in his kingdom to live forever. This is why Jesus said, Even in Matthew 26:29, I tell you, I will not drink again of this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom. I mean, think about it. You can have kingdoms and everything, but when your children are absent, when your children are suffering, when your children are some of them being even lost, your heart is crying out for them to come home. Your heart feels sorrow. It says in the Scriptures that Yeshua is intimate with our struggles, our oppressions, for he lived it himself. He was tempted in every way. He had never failed himself. It says that he has sent his comforter to be with us. Yeshua is not just up there with his Father, enjoying eternal life without a care. No, he has not forgotten, but his mind is continuously on us. He has counted every hair, and he is longing for us to be with him so that he may once again partake in the wine and with us. Passover is the feast where we look forward to the fulfillment of Yeshua's prophecy, the day where humanity will once again drink wine with Yeshua. But here and now we do it as the body of Christ in the form of the body and the blood of Christ, partaking in him with the bread and the wine and. And the presence of God and the Holy Spirit is with us when we do so. But Yeshua at the same time is not physically with us yet, yet will be. And this is the paradox of his presence, something that we have encountered in many aspects of our life, that he is with us and that he is not yet with us. That he is with us spiritually as near as can be, even putting his spirit inside of our temples, and that he is not with us physically as I can be with you. And this is difficult for us, especially in trials where we most feel like we desire to see him, to touch him, to hear Him. And it's okay to acknowledge that desire, for that desire is also shared by Jesus. There's nothing more that he wants than to be with his children spiritually and physically. Spiritually, that is fulfilled physically, that is coming soon. Revelation 21:1 says, Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth for the first heaven. And the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. And I saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God. Verse 6. And he said to me, it is done. I am the Alpha, the Omega, the beginning, the end to the thirsty I will give from the spring of water of life without payment. Here it is prophesied in Revelation, this magnificent moment where God will be with his people, speaking, not spiritually, speaking physically, that his kingdom will physically come down and be established upon the earth. This will come to pass. And as for now, the plan of salvation to save this world is in motion. It can sometimes feel like, lord, why are you taking so long? No, it is out of his grace that he is taking time, not desiring any to perish, but for all to come to him to drink. So this temporary distance that we experience right now, that is so difficult sometimes, it's going to be worth it, not just for our salvation, but for the salvation of those around us. As for now, we are in this fallen world, yet no longer of it. We will experience the brokenness of this fallen world. Yet we know that our God is not intimidated by it, for he has overcome the world, and he will deliver us, strengthen us and turn around all evil against us to become abundant blessing. As long as we don't let this world lead us away from him, rather let us lead the world to Him. And so when Jesus told his disciples, behold, when you enter a city, a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him into the house that he enters. This was a sign that, like the patriarchs that came before he was about to make a covenant with his people. The new covenant as we know it today. That's what we will now, even today, even in this moment, partake in thousands of us in real time, together, all at the same time. This Passover today, we're doing it online for logistical reasons, but one day soon, we're going to do it together, face to face in the Kingdom of. With Yeshua in our midst. And so, if I may now lead you in that time of the bread and the wine, please gather that with your house if you desire to participate. So as we partake in the bread and the wine, I want to remind you that this is the body and the blood of the Messiah. That means that when we partake, this is a serious matter. This is a matter of our hearts being open and cleansed and accountable and repentant. If there is something in your heart that is to be repented of, now is the time. If there is someone that you need to go and make things right with, because there is just chaos, make things right before you. Just partake in this without conscience, without recognizing the heaviness and the seriousness of this. And so I would like to begin with those who desire to continue. Matthew 26:26 says, now, as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and after blessing it, he broke it and gave it to his disciples and said, take, eat. This is my body. Father, I thank you, Lord, that you have given us your body and that we can partake in you. Lord, I thank you, Father, that your death, burial and resurrection has power not just 2,000 years ago, but today in 2026, to save our souls, our families. And I pray, Lord, that you would resurrect anything dead in our life just as your body was resurrected. Next, it is written that Yeshua took a cup, and when he had given thanks to God, he gave it to them, saying, drink of it, all of you. For this is the blood of the covenant which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. So before we drink, I want to say thanks to God, Lord. Thank you. Thank you for pouring out your blood for us. Thank you, Lord, for allowing us to live forever. I pray, Lord, that you would forgive us of our sins where we have wronged someone else, where we have said things that are evil and we have thought things that were evil. Whether we have done evil with our hands, Lord, I ask that you would not only forgive us, but empower us to change. Help us to be more like you. Give us a clean heart. Make us white as snow. Name? Yeshua. Amen you may now partake of the wine. Father, I thank you for allowing us to be in this time together. And I ask, Lord, that you would work mightily in households all across the world, watching now that your spirit would come and bring children home. Father, you are a good father and you desire all of your children to come home. How much more so can you understand the hearts of moms and dads who are now sitting and praying for their children to come home or spiritually outside the house? Father, I pray, Lord, for deliverance, Lord, of those who are oppressed and who are struggling, who are sick. I pray, Father, for those who have sufferings in relationships, in finances, in worries about tomorrow. I pray for healing in every corner. Lord, I pray, Lord, that you would come and bring a mighty outpouring of your Holy Spirit, that your people would be satisfied by the living waters that you provide and that they would not dwell into the things of this world for temporary satisfactions. Help us to be completely thirst quenched by you. I praise you. I thank you in the name of Yeshua. Thank you so much for joining me this Passover. It's truly an honour. May the Father bless you, keep you, shine his face upon you, lift up his countenance upon you and give you and your house his shalom.
