PASSOVER ONLINE CONFERENCE 2025 - He is Risen!

Go and gather the elders of Israel together and say to them, the Lord, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac and of Jacob has appeared to me saying, I have observed you and what has been done to you in Egypt. So I will stretch out my hand and strike Egypt with all the wonders that I will do in it. After that, he will let you go until the firstborn breathed the last breath.

Shalom and welcome to our online Passover Conference 2025. As we remember God's deliverance of his people Israel, out of bondage in Egypt. And as we celebrate Yeshua, Jesus who came as our Passover lamb, and the earth shattering moment of his resurrection that changed the world forever. We're excited. You can join us today as we come to celebrate our king, as we're edified by the Word, as we worship and praise him, and as we learn how this ancient festival given in the Torah points to Jesus.

Amen. Guys, if you love Jesus, then this is the feast for, for you. The feast of Passover. When we think of it, we often are reminded of the Exodus story of how Moses journeyed with Israel through the wilderness. And of course it began with God coming to deliver Israel from the hand of the Egyptians. But yet every aspect of that journey and that story points to to the Messiah who was the deliverer of Israel in the Exodus and who is our deliverer this day. When we think about the feast of Passover, it is one of many of God's feasts. The story begins with the Lamb of God who comes to save the world. As Yeshua dies as our Passover lamb, we see that at the feast of Unleavened Bread, he is put in the grave and on the feast of First Fruits, resurrected. There is then a time where God told his disciples to wait in Jerusalem for the outpouring of the holy spirit. A 50 day count until they reached the feast of Shavuot, also known as Pentecost. Thereafter, we now enter these full feasts known as the Feast of Trumpets, where he will return as of the blowing of a trumpet. The Day of Atonement where the sheep and the goats are separated. And the Feast of Sukkot, the wedding supper of the Lamb. The face to face restoration back to the garden. So as you can hear, some of the biblical feasts have reached a fulfillment. Others are yet to be fulfilled in our future. But today we celebrate the most eventful, majestic, incredible moment that has ever come across this world. Where Yeshua died for each and every one of us. And what does it mean for us? Today.

Amen. And you know what's interesting is that there are so many around the world for thousands of years who have been celebrating this feast day of Passover, remembering God's deliverance of Israel out of Egypt, as we mentioned. But God had a beautiful plan that he has woven throughout scripture, spoken of by prophets of old, speaking of a coming Redeemer who would come and bring a greater deliverance. Not only a deliverance out of a physical Egypt, but a deliverance out of a spiritual Egypt, a deliverance from sin and from death. And the Jewish people have been looking towards this coming Redeemer, this coming Mashiach Messiah. But yet for thousands of years, Christianity by and large has preached a Messiah that has abolished the Torah, that has abolished the feast days, and we've created a Messiah in our own image that we actually do not see in the Word. Because according to Jesus, according to his own words, he said this for if you believed Moses, you would believe me, for he wrote about me. But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my words? John 5, 46, 47.

Amen, guys. So we are today in a world where many people are trying to celebrate his feast days while not knowing the Messiah. And on the other hand, many people know the Messiah while having not understood the importance of his biblical feast days. And so today we are bringing to you many speakers from all over the world who are going to be sharing with us about the feast of Passover from a Biblical perspective, practical perspective and a spiritual perspective.

Seven days shall unleavened bread be eaten. On the first day there shall be a holy convocation. You shall not do any ordinary work.

Amen. Next up we have Pastor Chris Franke. Pastor if he break family fellowship in Oklahoma and also a leader of the Covenant Youth Camp. Chris, thank you so much for joining us, brother, we look forward to hearing from you.

Thank you guys for having me on tonight. And for those that are watching, thank you for being here with us. For centuries, God holy, majestic, righteous, has invited us humanity that at times is unclean, common walks and manners that are unholy, into a covenantal relationship. We see this first in the book of Leviticus, a revolutionary opportunity where there was gods of the world and deities with self proclaimed power from all humanity. This God does that and let us appease this God far off gods that they tried to appease. We see in the book of Leviticus that this is a different God. This is Yahweh Almighty, the God of all creation. One who has no desire to stay apart from his creation, but a desire to come and to dwell in the midst of his creation. In the book of Leviticus, we see that there was a system and a structure that God placed for him to come from his royalty, to come off of the mountain and to dwell in the center of the Israelites. We see that there was a priesthood out of the priests, there was a high priest. They would serve as mediators between common and unholy people who are at times unclean and a holy spotless God. We see fast forwarding into the first century, where this same God sends his son no longer to dwell in the holy of Holies in a tabernacle that was made by the hands of men, but to take on flesh in a tabernacle that was made from the dust by the hands of a holy God. He would preach sacrifice, but the sacrifice was different. Yeshua sacrifice was different. He preached that no longer were we worried about bulls and goats, but we were worried about sacrificing our fleshly desires, our pride, our narcissism, our ego, all of the things that were dwelt deep in our hearts, deep in our minds and kept us from God. He too preached that sacrifice, knowing that without the sacrifice of the flesh, without the sacrifice of this life, that we could not help usher in the kingdom of God on this earth. He then willingly went to the cross. He gave his blood, he gave his breath. He gave all of that for the sins of many, fulfilling the purpose of the law. And as the book of Hebrews tells us, he was the sacrifice once and for all for the sins of many. That we as unholy people could now dwell with the presence of a holy God. That he would cover their transgressions from the garden till the end of the world, and that he himself would become that new and perfect mediator. The death of Jesus brought about the perfect offering that only God could fulfill. Much like we saw when God put Abram to sleep and walked through the covenant of the pieces. A God who loved us so much that he left royalty over all creation to come and live lowly as a human, to be spit on, to be mocked, to be beaten, and to be crucified in a way that was one of the most horrific in all of time, so that he could become the ransom once and for all for you and I as sons and daughters of the most High. Whether it was in the garden of Genesis, the Egypt of Exodus, the tabernacle in Leviticus, the wilderness in Numbers, or the land of Moab in Deuteronomy, Jesus was there and was foreshadowed in every symbol. He was the suffering servant who would lay down his life unto death and then be resurrected to glory as the high priest, to be the king over all humanity. All kings of all nations would bow to him from the cradle to the cross, from the cross to his throne. The foretelling of Jesus and the life of Jesus, the ministry of Yeshua and the spirit of Yeshua all testify to the power of God manifested in this world. There is something in Judaism that the Jewish people know. It is a principle that is interwoven throughout the scripture. Even before Moses, it was permeated all of their culture. It was called Pekuak nephesh. Pekuak nephesh is the principle that places the life, the saving of one's life, the preserving of one's life over all other religious obligations, edicts, even the most important ones. The work of Jesus was the pekuah nephesh for all humanity. His work saved us from the depravity of our hearts and our minds. He did something we were incapable of doing. He did something that without him, we would never be able to attain. And a lot of times I hear people, they say, pastor, I can't do it. It's too hard. I can't do it and I tell them it's okay. You were never supposed to do it on your own. No one was created to do it on their own. We all are men and women in need of a Savior. When Yeshua went to the cross and resurrected conquering death, he then poured out his spirit as the King, the one who had the power of the kingdom to send it, to dwell in the temples of flesh and bone, our bodies, as Ezekiel says, to give us the new heart that only he can give. And without him it wasn't possible to do that. There was no access to that. It is only through him and His Holy Spirit that we can walk in the Spirit and the truth. It was a gift of grace and God's righteousness that he poured out to all of us so that we would have the power to operate in his name, in his character and in his integrity for His Kingdom. Not in our self righteousness, not in our pride, not in our self loathingness or self holiness that we would pursue his kingdom. After all, he is the King. Today we've been invited into that work of the Kingdom to preach the gospel, to heal the sick, to pray without ceasing, and to multiply the kingdom through discipleship and evangelism. We can't do that on our own either. We can't do that under the power of death, of humanity. We must do that under the life of the Lamb who is risen. All authority, all honor, all power, all majesty have been given to Him. And he bestows gifts to us. Those gifts are gifts of grace and his righteousness to help us, to empower us, to do the tasks in front of us. Our King gives gifts to equip us. He gives us gifts to help usher in his righteousness in his namesake. So that we would not burn for the things of this world, but that we would be on fire for his kingdom. To dedicate our lives, to dedicate our testimonies, to get dedicate our homes to Him. A king became a baby. A baby became a suffering servant. The suffering servant became a sacrifice. And he resurrected with all power, all glory, all majesty, all adoration, all of it. As he returned to the right hand of his father. He is King. There is no other king today. I want to challenge you. Many of you. This is your first Passover. Many of you. You've done many passovers. I want to challenge you because I believe the Spirit of God is active now. I believe the Spirit of God is moving now. It's time for us to activate. It's time for us to Give to others the gifts that God has given to us, whether it's in service of our local communities, whether it's in our marketplace, whether it's in our home. Jesus is victorious over the sin of death. He has conquered it and he has poured out his spirit, as Paul tells us, the Spirit of Yeshua as the Lamb who was slain for all since the foundation of the world. It's time for us to live like the lamb didn't stay in the tomb. It's time for us to live like the lamb resurrected. And the lion of the tribe of Judah will come once again with a roar and a boldness. That boldness that risen Savior's Spirit manifests in us each and every day. But how many of us are asking for those divine appointments? How many of us are activated to pray for those divine appointments? How many of us are involved in our local communities? How many of us are living our lives activated by the power of God, not just on Saturdays, not just on Sundays, but every day of the week? The devil doesn't take a day off. And we have more power in each and every one of us as believers in Yeshua. It's time for us to activate our communities, to activate the Holy Spirit in our life. And it means we have to remove anything that is not of God. We can take the Cheerios out of the house, we can take the bread out of the house. But if we don't take the leaven out of our hearts, if we don't replace that with the power of God manifesting in us, then we live like the Lamb is not risen. I believe the word of God to be true and every man to be a liar. The Lamb is risen. He's on the throne. Look for your divine appointments daily. Pray for your divine appointments daily. And let's be the hands and feet as the image bearers of Yeshua, the Messiah in our communities, in our local churches, in our local schools, our marketplaces. Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world is seated at the right hand of the power and majesty of Yahweh on high. It's time for us to start living like it. Shalom and shalom.

Amen and amen. Thank you so much for sharing that, Pastor Chris. That was so powerful and such a powerful reminder of the Gospel, what this festival is all about. There are beautiful traditions that we can do as a part of celebrating Passover, which we. We'll be talking about, by the way, in a little while. But if we forget the purpose of this festival that God brought a salvation to his people in Egypt, from Egypt, but God brought a greater salvation through his son, Yeshua. If we forget that, then we have forgotten the entire purpose of this feast day. And also that we don't make this only about the feast day alone, but that we make Passover a lifestyle celebrating, remembering the salvation our Father has brought throughout Scripture, but in his Son. And also what happens after that. When Yeshua rose from the grave, he delivered us for a purpose.

Right? I love what Chris mentioned about that because he talked about living as if he did raise from the dead, because he did. And this is what happened to the disciples, right? When he was crucified, it was like their lives ended. They were in mourning. They. They were. They were journeying with him all these years. And now everything has come to an and yet, when the tomb was opened and when the news came that the tomb was empty, they were also resurrected in their spirits. They were excited. So much so that most of them went to the grave for that message of the resurrected king. And so let us be a people that even if we don't live in a persecuted America yet, let us be a people who live with the passion that is fueled by the reality of the resurrection.

Yes. Amen. Next up, we have Zach Waller, director of Highovel Ministries. Thank you for joining us, Zach.

Thank you so much. PD and Christina, it's great to be with you all here today. And thank you so much for the opportunity to share about the Lamb of God, our risen Savior. It's certainly one of the greatest topics and a very meaningful one to dig into during this feast of Passover. So thank you for this opportunity to share. I'd like to start by taking a closer look at Yeshua, the Lamb of God. It's important to recognize that Yeshua didn't just die, he gave himself as a sacrifice. And I think sometimes, you know, in our culture, we're so disconnected from sacrifice in the sacrificial system that we really don't understand exactly what it is. But at the same time, we all believe that Yeshua was a sacrifice for us. And so I think sometimes we really shoot ourselves in the foot because we don't realize, hey, we really need to understand this concept in order to understand what Yeshua did for us when he made himself a sacrifice to God on our behalf. And I want to say that there's a big difference in between dying, just being killed, the killing of an animal, or Yeshua being killed and being offered as a sacrifice. I think when most of us imagine a sacrifice we imagine an altar where an animal is brought and slain, right? And the whole story is kind of summed up in this one action of killing an animal. But a sacrifice actually isn't quite like that. It's not just death, it's not just the animal. And actually the altar itself actually was not a place where the animal was actually killed or slaughtered. The animal in sacrificial system was actually killed off site. Like when they would bring an offering to the temple, it was killed off site. And then once it was butchered, then certain pieces of the animal were brought. The blood, certain sections of the animal were brought and then into that holy place and then offered up on the altar. So I think sometimes we have this like, kind of pagan idea of like the whole sacrificial and altar and blood and all this stuff, but when we really take a look at it, it's a little bit different picture than we'd imagined. And it gives us a much better picture of what Yeshua did for us when he gave himself as a sacrifice. So the sacrifice is not just a killing, it's actually an offering being brought into God's presence and being given to him and then accepted on his altar. It's actually a really amazing thing. If you go back and look at exactly what happened when these sacrifices were given, somebody would. For a sin offering, there's actually quite a few different offerings and sacrifices. But specifically for the sin offering, a person would recognize that they had done something wrong and they would take a lamb from their flock, which is a very valuable thing, especially in those times, and they would bring that offering to the temple. So this is the house of God where God's presence, I mean, especially you think about the tabernacle, you know, this presence of God coming into this place in the temple, even more grand and huge, and you know, the gold and the stonework and all these things that just can imagine walking into that place knowing that you had done something wrong, right? Then you're coming to the presence of God with your lamb. That is going to be basically like your replacement, right? It's taking that sin on itself to be offered in your place. And so you're bringing this lamb to the temple, to God's presence, probably the least likely place you'd want to go with, you know, as you've. Since you've done something wrong, you know that you have sinned against God, but now you're coming into his presence with this lamb. And so you, you come in, you bring it to the priest, and then you lay your hand on the head of this animal, and you declare the sin that you have done. So basically you're saying I have done something wrong and I've separated myself from God, and now this lamb is going to take my place to go and be offered up as a sacrifice. I should have been one. I should have been living as a sacrifice to God, wholly given over to him, but I wasn't. So now this lamb is going to go in and take that place of being wholly given over to God. And also I deserve to die because I transgress from God. I have separated myself from God. I have already chosen death. But now this animal is going to go into my place and die for me. I have my hand on the head of this animal. I proclaim whatever sin I have committed. And then the animal is butchered, there is slain, and then the pieces are taken and put upon the altar in God's presence. And so it's interesting, actually. The word for sacrifice in Hebrew is Korban. And the word Korban translated, it's really not translated very well as sacrifice, even though that's what most translations render it as. The root word of Korban is karov, which actually in Hebrew means close. And so a sacrifice was initiated. God developed a system to where we could bring a sacrifice and that that would bring us close back into relationship with God. And again, when you're bringing sacrifice, you're coming to the temple, to this place, so you know you've done something wrong. You're coming into God's presence, and then you're going through this process of helping you understand what you've done and what that means and how you've separated yourself from God. But then God's made a way for you to come back to him through this ceremony, this process of offering a sin sacrifice. And in that place, in God's presence, then we find healing, we find forgiveness, all those things. And so Yeshua, when he came, he offered himself as a sacrifice to bring us close to God. Obviously, he's also the priest, right? So he's going into God's presence, representing us before God, and then giving himself as a sacrifice that was accepted. But I guess then that comes to the question, though, but if this really powerful thing that's taken place, this sacrifice that's been given for our sins, has paid for our sins and given us eternal life, then what need really is there for Yeshua to rise from the dead? I think the Exodus story actually gives us a little bit of key into this, because here we have this lamb being Slaughtered, the blood going, the doorpost, this kind of act of justification, basically, in theological terms. But then what happens next, right? This passing over of the death angel happens so that then the children of Israel can go forth out of Egypt in this resurrection life, right? I mean, basically the dream, the promises that were given to Abraham had died, right? The children of Israel are slaves in Egypt, but now the children of Israel, the death angel is passed over. They are walking free out from slavery, from bondage into freedom. This is a real picture of resurrection and then also going into the Red Sea, coming through. There's like a whole mikvah picture there. There's life, rebirth taking place. So this resurrection that's taking place is this rebirth. It's a resurrection. It's being not only justified, but then there's this process of sanctification, right? Justified means we're cleansed of our sin and we're right before God. We didn't have to do anything, right? These Israelites who put the blood on the doorpost, there was no rules or things that they had to follow at that point. They were just covered and the death angel passed over. Maybe in a way you could say that this was like bringing us back to the Garden of Eden, right? They were kind of set back in this justification process. They were brought back to the Garden of Eden. But there was something else needed. Because if we're just brought back to the Garden of Eden, then the opportunity is there for us to make the same mistake over again and allow sin to come back in. So we need something else. We need a resurrection transformation in our heart, something that allows us to. To be free from death, from sin, from the. From the desire to sin, this type of transformation that needs to happen in our hearts. And I think that's really where this resurrection picture comes in, this coming out of Egypt, not just justified, not just forgiven, not just sins washed away, but also a purpose, a vision, a mission. And. And then as that process continues, going to Mount Sinai and receiving the Torah, the instructions on how we are to live, these things take place afterwards. And that's part of this, this resurrection, this life that comes in after we have died to ourselves, then we enter into this resurrection life of finding that place and purpose in God and in Yeshua, this transformation, I've heard it said, a teacher, if God raised Yeshua from the dead, and there's no problem you have that he can't fix.

Wow.

It's such a powerful saying. And it really ministered to me, like, wow, yeah, this is so tr. Even in this Life, right? Because I think sometimes we think, oh, heaven, you know, get off into heaven and then everything will be great. No, here on this earth, God raised Yeshua from the dead. He overcame death. So there's no problem if God can raise Yeshua from the dead. And there's no problem you have that he can't fix. Unfortunately, many Christians nowadays focus only on the incredible miracle of being justified, right? That our sins are covered. We have. We have been given eternal life. And this did happen through Yeshua's sacrifice. Yeshua's sacrifice was accepted before God brought us close to him. We were brought back to the Garden of Eden. But this concept that we were brought into a kingdom, right? Not only cleansed and justified, but we're brought into a kingdom that has a purpose, a constitution, a vision. Maybe it's like a young person whose father bought them a new car, right? You got this new car. And so they walk out and they feel so loved. And the gift affirmed that she was worthy of her father's love, right? This young girl, she's like, wow, this is amazing. Like, I got a new car. She goes out, she sits in the seat, and she feels so comfortable and she feels important. It's like, wow, my dad loves me so much. He's given me this new car. Amazing. And then her dad tries to give her the keys, and he's like, oh, no, no, Dad, I don't want to drive anywhere. It's enough that you just giving it to me. No, God is calling us to take the keys and drive, right? There are. There are rules and method to how we need to drive on the road, right? There's a way. This kingdom, this thing that God has brought us into, this gift that he's given to us, this cleansing allows us to have and walk in a kingdom way which is obviously given in the Torah, right? These principles, this biblical morality that God lays out for us in the Torah, it's the constitution that he's given to us, but there's also a vision, right? Not only do we get the keys and we can start the car and drive it, we need to know how to drive it. But there's actually things in the car that we need to deliver, right? We need to bring God's kingdom on this earth as it is in heaven. We want to see Yeshua seated on his throne in Jerusalem, the Prince of Peace reigning over the entire world. Our faith is alive. It is resurrected. It's not some dead promises that will never happen. No, it's going to come to pass physically and literally. In our day. And that's where the Israel picture ties in, right? Israel is experiencing a massive, amazing, incredible, miraculous resurrection transformation right now. Over the last century, like 4 million Jewish people have made aliyah back to the land of Israel. In 1918, there were 60,000 Jews in Israel. Today, there are more than 7 million Jewish people in the land of Israel. Just that fact alone tells us that there's a resurrection happening. There's something amazing. God's promises are coming true in our day. You guys probably know a little bit about us at Hayovel. We do a lot with the farming, the agriculture in the land of Israel. And just in the last 20 years, we've seen such incredible growth. The vineyards, the olive groves, all these things of the land being resurrected itself and then being. Being able to support the people as they come back home. I was just looking at one figure. In 20, 23. So year before last, Israel exported $57.3 million worth of wine exported. That's not what they, you know, kept inside and used within the country. $57 million. There were not vineyards in Israel just, you know, for sure, not 100 years ago, but they didn't really take off until probably 20, 30 years ago when we started coming and volunteering and being part of this, like, right, God brought us in, like, right when the wine growing and winemaking really became a thing. But as we've seen over the last year and a half, October 7th, all hell is breaking loose to come against this restoration, this resurrection that's taking place. Truly, like life is springing forth from the dead. But there's also this attacking. And that's why we as believers need to side with and be a part of this, this resurrection and make sure we're giving our support to what God is doing. This is God's vision for the restoration of all things. So we need to align ourselves with his vision and mission and be part of this purpose that he has. So what does all this mean? It means that by accepting the sacrifice that Yeshua has made, we are justified, right? Our sins are covered, we have received eternal life. But then there's this process of sanctification, this resurrection thing, this transformation that happens in our hearts that allows us to accept him and he infuses in our everyday life a purposeful lifestyle, a way of living that naturally builds his kingdom, that brings God's kingdom into on earth as it is in heaven, and makes a way for the king to return to Jerusalem. So my prayer for us and for all of you today is that God would bless you in this Passover season with a greater understanding of his love for you, that you would more fully comprehend the sacrifice he made to bring you close to God and that you would more fully embrace the resurrection life that Jerusalem connected kingdom purpose that God has for you here on this earth for such a time as this. Amen. God bless you guys and Chag Sameach.

Amen. Zach, thank you so much for sharing. That was beautiful. And I love how you really focused on that resurrected life. I'm reminded even of the scriptures speaking of that baptism which you referenced with Israel moving through the Red Sea, that was split and they had a type of baptism coming out of Egypt there. And so it's written in the scriptures also for us that if we believe and we're baptized, we will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit, that empowerment for us to be that light of the world. And it's true. I think many people are focused on the beautiful gift of Yeshua as our sacrifice. And we should be. But it should never come at the cost of understanding why he died. To cleanse us of sin, but also to empower us with that Holy Spirit so we can be his ambassadors upon the earth and do the work. He said, do the work while it is day, for night is coming when no one can work. So let us all be people who do the work that he has given us in the Kingdom of God, discovering our callings.

I love what you brought in regarding the garden. Return to the garden, because that is what the gospel is all about. And something that I also love is, you know, when we know Yeshua, after he had that Passover, after he had the last supper with his disciples, they went to the Garden of Gethsemane. And that was when he said his famous words, your will be done, not my will. And this is like hearkening back to the Garden of Eden when the serpent came and Adam and Eve were deceived to say, my will be done, not thy will. And so we have Yeshua breaking that curse of sin and saying, not my will. Your will in a garden, reversing the curse that began by the serpent in the Garden of Eden and now reversed in the Garden of Gethsemane. But then also the curse of death. Where was Yeshua buried? He was buried in a tomb, a garden tomb. And Yeshua crushed death and rose from the grave again in the garden, because it points back to the garden. That is where God is bringing us back to return to his presence, to return to that garden.

Amen. Zach is also going to be sharing with us live updates from the land of Israel during our panel discussion later in the live stream, guys. Next up, we have the Almond House. Joe and Jackie is going to be sharing with us their perspective on the feast of Passover. Thank you guys.

Shalom PD and Christina, thank you for inviting us on your show. My name is Jackie and this is Joe. We're from the Almond House Fellowship based on the Wirral in England. Hey Shalom everyone. This is just a small word of encouragement for everyone who's watching online who is observing the sacred events that's coming up or is tuning in to be encouraged for the build up of Yah's appointed times. Though Passover is connected with death, the death of the lamb, it's also connected with life in the association with Messiah in his resurrection. I want us all to consider how death was allowed to be unleashed upon Egypt. But this in fact brought about the life for the whole nation, the nation of Israel. Though the Lamb was slain, the people were freed. Though Pharaoh was drowned, the people were amassed. Though they left their old lives behind, they were given a new identity. Though they were pursued, they were covered. Though they departed from Egypt, they were headed to a land of promise. And remember, their story is our story. And we are part of an exodusia in Christ Today, we too have escaped the clutches of death through the redemptive blood of the Lamb in Messiah. Yeshua, this is a good news message for all of us. Truly we all do have life because of his death. 1 John 5:12 tells us, he who has the Son has life. So beloved. Our message for you today is have you chosen your lamb that leads to life? And if you have chosen your lamb, what are you doing with that life? Because we are a kind of first fruits of his creatures. I couldn't agree with you more, Joe. You know, John 1:29 says, the next day John saw Yeshua coming towards him and said, behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. The Lamb of God, not the Easter bunny. We're talking about the anchor of our faith, the Passover lamb, the risen, the risen Mashiach, the Messiah first coming as a lamb, second coming as a lion. The event in history is so time bending that no matter if it is 2000 years before his death in the times of Abraham, or here and now 2000 years later, all those who cry out salvation or in the Hebrew, as we know literally Yeshua, can be saved through him. And how do we know that this event is timeless and defies logic as we know it? Well, we read in Revelation chapter 13, the Lamb who was slain from the foundation of the world. And In John, chapter 8, Yeshua says to those who question him, he says, abraham, your father rejoiced in that he should see my day. And he saw it and rejoiced. So, 2,000 years ago, or 2,000 years now, Yeshua's name is still just as powerful, the power of the resurrection. Hallelujah. Now, I imagine it's within all of our hearts now to seek out our Master at this time. Therefore, I think it's a good meditation to consider the chain of events that took place 2,000 years ago, as Jack mentioned, at the time of the Passover, of the time of first fruits, to pinpoint what Messiah's followers were doing and what they experienced and what took place little over 2,000 years ago, and see what that can teach us for us as believers today and how we can glean from that in our lives as we fast approach the Passover. Now, after the Passover, the crucifixion of our master, as the Shabbat was drawn to an end and the dawn was fast approaching, recall how the two women, the two Miriams, came to his tomb. But what happened? They encountered the angel of the Lord. They met the angel of the Lord who foretold them very famously, he is not here, for he has risen. So as we know, the woman is indicative of the church. Therefore, it could be said that the two women, the two Miriams, are indicative of the two houses. So as we, the two houses, approach the death of our Messiah at Passover, let us be encouraged with the outstanding message that our Master does not remain in the grave, that he is not here, for he has risen. Consider what happens next. They go out. They spread the word. In what? In fear and in joy, as the Scripture says. And this is how we should operate too, at this time, also, in great fear and in great joy, let us go and tell the world about the newness of life with anticipation. And it's at this point when the Messiah actually appears to them, when they go out in anticipation and great fear and in great joy. And he keeps appearing to them right throughout unleavened bread.

So.

So seize that opportunity, beloved, to meet with our Master at this time and beyond. I'll just end with Romans 6. It tells us, knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over him. For the death that he died, he died to sin once and for all. But the life that he lives, he lives to God. Likewise, you also reckon yourselves to be Dead and deeds to sin, but alive to God in Christ. Yeshua Ar Mashiach, our Lord and our Savior. Amen. Amen. This is why there is so much power in the death, burial and resurrection of our Messiah, which is Passover, unleavened bread and fierce fruits. Passover, he dies. Unleavened bread, he is in the grave. And first fruits, he ascends to the Father as that first fruit offering. And this is why this event, 2,000 years later, after his resurrection, can affect anyone, anyone who calls upon his name. And if you are watching this and haven't called upon his name, please do not let the sun set tonight without repenting and calling upon the name of Yeshua. Every day is a gift to call upon the power of that resurrection. And accounts that had over 500 eyewitnesses, secular and early Christian scholars speak about it. It has been recorded and sealed in time for the whole world. For as we know, God so loved the whole world that he gave his only begotten Son. For those who believe in him shall not perish, but have everlasting life. So we only have to allow ourselves to submit to him and cry out that we need a Savior. And I believe that Passover is slowly being replaced with Easter and the Easter bunny instead of the Passover lamb. And why is this? Well, it's a dissociate it bit by bit from the truth to water down the power of the resurrection that defeats death. And to end. Here is one final scripture that summarizes how we can conquer death and Satan. And it's found in Revelation, chapter 12. And it goes like this. And I heard a loud voice in heaven saying, now have come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of his Christ. For the accuser of our brothers has been thrown down. He who accuses them day and night before our God, they have conquered him by what? By the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony. And they did not love their lives so as to shy away from death. So if you heard this message today, we just say, call upon his name. Call upon the name of above all names. Yeshua Hamashiach, Jesus Christ of Nazareth. If there's anything to take from this Passover message, it's that it's the blood of Christ. And if you have called upon his name already, please, beloved, walk in the newness of life at this time of year, have great joy and have great fear, as the two Miriams did when they encountered the tomb of the Passover Lamb. And remember he is not here, for he is risen. Therefore, let us walk in that resurrection power and be the first fruits of all of his creatures. Hallelujah. From our half thorn your house. We'll hand it back over to you guys and thank you so much for giving us this opportunity to come on your show. And we love everything you're doing. We want to bless you all and bless everyone else as well who's tuned in or participated this week. It's. It's been really fruitful and we look forward to meeting you all guys one day soon. We hope that that can happen. Yah willing. Yeah. Willem. Shalom. Shalom, guys. Thank you.

Thank you. Joe and Jackie. We love you guys. Appreciate your ministry. I love what you guys shared about the joy that we have in our salvation and coupled with this fear of God that we should have, as the women did when they saw the tomb. Guys, I think we should all be praying for the Father to give us back the joy of our salvation that we would be a people who just are so excited with our first love, not being like those in the book of Revelation who has forgotten their first love. But let us remember what Yeshua has done. So much so that that joy overflows out of us like a cup overflowing where others can come and see the living water and taste for themselves. It is from that joy that other people also would want a taste of our Messiah. So at the same time, this fear of God is in us and now through us, also giving others a perspective of the reality of the holiness of our God and the fact that we need his atonement for us. So, guys, thank you so much. That was beautiful. Christina is also going to share with us some practical aspects on how to keep the feast of Passover.

So right off the bat, if this is your first time keeping Passover, this is all new to you. Keep it simple, because this is a time of celebration. This is not a time to be stressed and overwhelmed and anxious. Just come into the Father's presence with joy and with thanksgiving and let him guide you one step at a time. However, if you've been doing this for a while and you would love to add some new things to what you're doing already, I'm going to share a few things, some things you might already have done. Maybe there's a couple new things here. So the first, most important thing as we're preparing for Passover is, as scripture says, clean out your house from anything that's leavened. So bread, crackers, yeast, things are, you know, leavened items Clean out your house, clear it out. And what my family would do is that when we would clear out the leaven, the breads and things like that, we would also write on a piece of paper, each one of us in my family, sins that we were repenting of. And then we would go out with some of that leaven with, like, the piece of bread, and we would make a fire and we would put in the leaven, like the bread, but also throw in those papers with the sins that we were repenting of to throw it into the fire because we're saying, father, I repent, please forgive me. That is an excellent reminder of the importance of repentance and getting rid of the leaven, the sin in our lives. Also, there's reading the biblical story of the Exodus, which we can find in Exodus. If you want the full story, it's Exodus 1 through 15, chapters 1 through 15. Or if you want the specifics of Passover, It's Exodus, chapter 12. Read it with your family. The kids can dress up as Bible characters. I remember my younger siblings would do that. And I had lots of fun. Also read Matthew 26:28. This is the Last Supper, the Passover that Yeshua had with his disciples. The crucifixion, the resurrection. And also the most important part as we see it all come together, the Great Commission, as we've been talking about thus far. We were delivered for a purpose. He sacrificed for a purpose. He rose for a purpose. And what is that purpose? That we can walk in newness of life and that we can share that newness of life with others. So read that with your family. Then there, of course, is doing a traditional Passover Seder. Again, if you are not familiar with this, there are YouTube videos online where you can follow along with Passover Seders by Yeshua loving congregations and fellowships. If you're not familiar with the Passover Seder, it is simply a way to commemorate different elements of the Exodus story. The matzah, the blood on the doorpost, the plagues. As we read about in the Exodus story, different scripture verses from the Psalms, the washing of hands or the washing of feet as we see Yeshua washing the feet of the disciples, how each of these different moments correlate to the Exodus story, but also point to Yeshua. And so it's really fascinating. It's really beautiful. I invite you guys to look into that or to do that with your family. Again, if you're new to this, keep it simple. Read the story in Exodus. Eat matzah, unleavened bread, Eat bitter herbs. That's the scriptural command. And rejoice. Keep it simple if this is your first time. Otherwise put on Passover music. So worship music, rejoice, dance, sing and watch a Biblical movie. There's lots of different shows that have to do with the theme of Passover. There's the Ten Commandments. There is Prince of Egypt.

I love Prince of Egypt.

I love the music. Amazing. There's also one called the Messiah Prophecy Fulfilled. We'll put the link in the description below. Excellent film that goes through the Passover Seder and how each part points to Yeshua. Great film. There's also for the younger kids, Superbook, which is an animated Bible show for kids and they have an episode titled Let My People Go which is available on YouTube. We'll have the link in the description below. When we come to into God's presence, we are commanded to bring an offering. And so this is a time to bring an offering, whether it be for a charity, whether it be to serve those who are in need, whether it be to support your local church, your local fellowship, or a ministry that's blessed. You have a community baptism, have a time of outreach, have a time of prayer. So that as you We've been speaking of the Gospel, we've been speaking of the salvation that God has given us. That we don't keep it to ourselves, but that we share it with others, with those around us, with fellowship at our congregation, but also with those we might meet. In this season especially, but not only in this season, Give to the poor is a wonderful time to give to the poor. We have Leviticus, chapter 23, verse 22 when you reap the harvest of your land, do not reap all the way to the edges of your field or gather the gleanings of your harvest. Leave them for the poor and for the foreign residential I am the Lord your God. Also celebrate. This is a feast. So feast. Celebrate with dessert. Celebrate with food items and with your kids. Crafts, arts and crafts. A couple ideas I'll just throw out really quick. Some feast ideas or some dessert ideas. My mom would make a chocolate mousse roll cake. You think cake? How is that kosher for Passover? Well, this was using fluffed and whipped eggs. We'll drop the link for that recipe in the description below. It's really fun. There's also making something called Matzah crack, which is a weird name, but it's matzah with chocolate on top. You can put some chopped nuts or some toffee bits. Really fun. Great for passover and the kids love it. I love it. Something else you can do with your kids, you can make matzah houses. And so instead of like a gingerbread house, get some matzah, use some frosting or whatever and put some candy on it. You can have fun. You can do other crafts. Like you can get jello, you can dye it blue. Or you can go the healthier route and use some blue spirulina and you can make a little walkway in the middle of your blue jello in your tray and put some sprinkle matzah, maybe some chocolate covered matzah and you have the Red Sea party. You can do that with your kids. Have fun, make this a fun time with your kids so that they're also involved in the celebration. Make some home decor, make some things that will involve them in this celebration. Have a day of rest, have a day of worship. Passover is a high Sabbath and the feast of unleavened bread is again a celebration, a time of commemoration. It is a time of rejoicing. It's a time of rest and coming together in fellowship. And so if any of these ideas are new, or if they're not, maybe you've been doing your own traditions, drop them in the comments below. We would love to hear what your family, what your fellowship does to celebrate Passover and to celebrate the resurrection of our Messiah.

Next up is Bryden and Taliyah Waller, who's going to be leading us in worship with their children. Thank you, Bryden and Tali, thanks Petey.

And Christina for having us a part of this conference. So this is love and purity ministry. What we represent here, we're calling disciples to a lifestyle of love and purity in joyful expectation of the coming King. That's our mission statement. We want to call disciples. A part of our discipleship efforts includes a discipleship program called Harp and Farm. So if a young person out there is interested, we have a program where we bring young people in, teach them music and farming. And so that's an opportunity. But you can go to our website and find out more. But we do a lot with music as well. Just putting scripture to music. And so we're going to be sharing some songs today. We really believe in the power of music to memorize, to meditate on the word of God. And so we're going to be sharing this first song is from Luke, chapter 19. It's the crowds welcoming Yeshua, Luke 19.

Then as he was known, drawing near.

The descendants at the mouth of almonds. The whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works they had seen Singing Bless is the king who comes in the name of Adonai. Peace in heaven and glory in the highest. Bless is the king who comes in the name of Adonai. He's in heaven and glory in the highest. Then as he was now drawn near the descent of the mount of all.

This.

The whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice at and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works they might ceasing. Blessed is the king who comes in the name of Adonai Peace in heaven and glory in the highest Is the king who comes comes in the name of God and glory in the highest.

This next song we want to share is from Revelation chapter one and just a beautiful description of Yeshua. What he looks like. His eyes like flames of fire, his face shining like the sun. So we're just going to sing straight from Revelation 1 starting in verse 12.

Then I turned to see the voice.

That spoke with me having turned us all seven golden lampstand. In the midst of the seven lampstands one like the son of man clothed with a garment down to his feet Gird about the chest with the golden veil and I am he who lives and was dead and behold my life forevermore. Amen. I have the keys of hell and death and behold I'm alive forevermore. Amen. As white as snow and his eyes like a flame on fire. His feet were like fire have the keys of heaven. I'm alive forever more. Amen. I'm alive forever more. Amen. Out of his mouth with a sharp two edged sword and his countenance was light the sun shining in his strength. When I saw him I fell at his feet is dead. When he laid his right hand on me and said do not be afraid, I am the first and last. Do not be afraid, I am the first and the last. I'm alive forever more of it. I have the keys of hell and death and behold I'm alive forevermore. I live and be home. I'm alive forevermore of it.

Praise Yeshua. Thank you that you're alive forevermore. You are the living king. Thank you that you're at work in our lives today. Reveal more of your glory to us.

Foreign.

Okay, so this next song we're going to share is called Extravagant Love and it's a story song from the life of Mary of Bethany. So she takes this pint of spikener oil which is would be like a Pint of essential oils, very strong, very costly. Judah says, hey, why are you doing this? This could have been sold for 300 denarii, which approximately is a year's wages, which would be around 40, $50,000 worth of oil in this little jar. It's pretty expensive oil. And when you understand how much it's worth, you understand Judas's disgust, right? He's like, what that could have been sold and given to the poor? But Yeshua says, no, leave her alone. She's anointing my body for burial. And actually what she's done is going to be told in all the earth. And so even as we retell the story, we're fulfilling Yeshua's words that this story is going to be highlighted. No other story in the Gospels is highlighted like this story where Yeshua says, what this person did is going to be told throughout the whole world. And so a very important story, a very something, a story that we can learn from as disciples of Yeshua, that he desires our extravagant gift, our gift of worship. And even thinking about how he's anointed with this oil. And even as he's going to the cross, I believe he has this fragrance with him, this. This fragrance of Spikener. This extravagant gift I believe is an encouragement to him even as he went to lay down his life. And so as we share this song, I pray that your heart is awakened in love for the king. He is, he's worthy that we pour out our worship, Pour out our extravagant love for him.

Shock waves resounded through the room as she knelt and poured out the costly per view. Some were astounded, some were disgusted. She was completely invested in the one she trusted. Your head was covered with the oil befitting a king so exalted and royal. Though you were humbled upon a tree, the fragrance of Spike nerd would never leave Remind me constantly that is true that extravagant love is quick to become Poured out in worship to you as an old consuming desire. For in the fire of counting the post and answering the call, new life is given to the ones who have yielded their lives for your will to be done. And there is no measure of status so well that compares to the treasure above all else, the gift of yourself. So it's true that extravagant love is quick to fight. Poured out in worship to you as an all consuming desire for the fire of counting the cost and answering the call. Receive the oil, receive the praise. Worthy is the lamb who was slain. Receive the oil, receive the praise wor. So it's true that extravagant love is quick to become poured out in worship to you as an own consuming desire forged in the fire of counting the cost. Oh so it's true that extravagant love is quick to become poured out in worship to you as an all consumer consuming desire forged in the fire of counting the call. So it's true that extravagant love is quick to become poured out in worship to you as an all consuming desire forcing the fire of counting the cost and answering the call.

Hallelujah. Thank you so much Braden and Tally and your lovely family for leading us in worship that was so anointed. We just appreciate you guys. Thank you.

Next up is Nathan. Nathan Harmon is a traveling evangelist. He travels all across the United States with his family, speaks at schools and also disciples focusing on the youth. Nathan, thank you for joining us.

What is going on? Rise on fire Family PD and Christine, thank you so much for yet again allowing me to be a part of this year's Passover online celebration. The work that you two are doing for the kingdom and I know it is unto the Lord, but I just appreciate your guys heart and hunger to continue to refuse to let the body of Christ not keep Jesus Yeshua at the center. And sorry for my voice, I don't really have one. We have been on the road for several weeks. I've been speaking a lot in the public schools, street evangelism and rally nights, tent meetings across the country. And it seems like every time you ask me to be a part of one of these, which I cherish and I'm always so thankful for the opportunity. I'm just on the road. But guys, tonight, isn't it just an awesome time that we can really just settle in our hearts this that the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob had a plan to set you and me free. And who the son sets free is free indeed. That fear no longer can have torment by using this thing called death. Because we as believers, we never die. And I know tonight as we celebrate Passover, the Lamb of God, we also know how the story ends. That the Lamb of God was also resurrected and that his spirit got poured out and you and I can now have eternal life can step in to what God's ultimate purpose was. For us to be the manifestation of God as he lives in our heart. That we can be the hands of feet of Yeshua. He's the head, we're the body. It is the faith. It's not just having faith. It's not just the things that we do. But this is the faith that's spoken throughout all of scriptures that God had a plan to restore us back to the garden. The Bible says that Adam came as a living soul, but the second Adam came to be a quickening spirit to really re establish that which was lost, to be that Passover lamb, that ultimate sacrifice. And for that, I thank God so much that he redeemed you. And he's redeemed me. I thank God so much that he had a plan to bring everything back into order that was put in chaos. That my life doesn't have to be in chaos, but I can walk a life laid down, focused on him, surrendered and knowing that he will provide, he will supply every need. It's crazy in the Bible that it says when we worry about our clothes, our food or our shelter, that we have no faith. Because he says, literally Yeshua says, letters in red. Those are things that unbelievers in the world worry about. And that our God, our Maker, our King, knows how to give us exactly what we need. And if we don't have to really worry any longer about the things that we think we physically need, that means we can give our undivided attention to the reason you are on this earth, to the reason why he became the Passover Lamb, that he took off all of his glory and he humbled himself and bore the cross and bore the penalty that we deserved. So we can now live unto him and be crucified with Christ. And nevertheless that we live the life we now live, we live unto Him. To die is gain, but to live is Christ. I'm torn between the two. You see your undivided tension right now as we celebrate this Passover, as we put our our life and our actions where our heart truly is. Because what we do is what we believe. As we celebrate this Passover, it's this place where you can hopefully turn it inward and to realize that the cost that was paid was worth you laying down your life as a living sacrifice. And I know every time that I'm probably on here as Petey and Christina invite me to be a part, it gets very much just focused on living a life sold out to him. But that really is the call to your life. The call. It's a call to burn. It's a call to burn with passion and intensity for a lost and dying generation. It's a call for you to hunger and thirst for righteousness. It's a call for you to hunger for the Kingdom of God. I challenge you to do a word study on the Kingdom of God and to go look at every single place that there are letters written and read our Messiah. King Yeshua had a lot to say about the kingdom of God. And it's not this thing that comes with observation. No, it's within you. The word of God, it's nigh. It's in your mouth. You are the physical manifestation. Hands and feet to be the kingdom of God. Yeshua said that there were some standing there that wouldn't taste death until they seen the kingdom of God coming in glory and power. What do you think? Acts chapter two. Was that literally the kingdom of God came down in the form, in the fashion of the reality of the Holy Spirit? Flames of fire that would bring the power of God to bring through you and through I, the kingdom of God. You know the kingdom of God is at hand. Whose hand do you think the kingdom of God is at? It's at your hand. Has he not called you and I to go out and preach the gospel? To lay hands on the sick, to declare the acceptable year of the Lord? To open up the prison doors, to do exactly what he did when he opened up the scroll of Isaiah, that Luke 4:18 passage. We are a representation of him. We are his hands and feet. We are called to be ambassadors. This is the call. This is what passed over to me. Should just. And it always does, settles deep in my heart. Man, the cost that he paid was now for me to live a life laid down for him. To truly know him. To not just know about him, but to know him. To know that this sacrifice takes us all the way back to that original sacrifice when they try to cover themselves with leaves. And he, God, our maker, the King of the universe, heaven and earth. He took an animal and he slayed it, and he covered them. This is the redeeming of that sacrifice so you can have communion with God. So I hope for you this Passover today, tonight, is that you not only internalize the gifts that we can receive by faith, but that you can begin to live for the gift that you received by faith. And it's not just by faith. It was real. It was literal. God came down and he fixed what the enemy tried to destroy. We have a life to live. It's time for you to declare war against the kingdoms of this earth and to burn to be a wild one. You know, we have a bunch of young people running around with us anymore, going from city to city as the wild ones. And you're called to be a wild one. Not just some wildfire, rebellious, unteachable.

But.

To be someone disciplined, to be a disciple. The Scriptures didn't call you to be a Christian. It didn't call you to be Hebraic or Messianic. He's called you to be a disciple. This is what this night really initiates. That death no longer has the sting, that the enemy overplayed his hand. And now the kingdom of God isn't just outside and from above that God restored creation. And when it says that creation's groaning for the revealing of the sons of God, that's you and that's me. So be blessed tonight. Guys, I'm so grateful with all the other speakers that are on here. I'm hoping that they were able to make this Passover very black and white to you and can help you understand the power of the scriptures. But for me, there's a coal to burn to live a life laid down, to be his disciple, to be a wild one to walk in the steps of John the Baptist, Prepare the way of the Lord that every mountain must come down, every valley must come up, every crooked thing must be made straight. There's no excuse. Christ in you. The hope of glory. Be blessed.

Guys.

I hope you have a great night. You can learn more about some of the stuff that we're doing with missions abroad all across the world. Jordan, Brazil, Honduras, some other places. It's just called Wilderness Driven. We love you guys. We're praying for you. Contend for the faith, contend for your fire. Contend to live a life with no plan B.

Thank you, Nathan. That was beautiful, guys. I love what Nathan mentioned about how Yeshua says that we don't have to worry about what we will eat or what we will drink. He not only takes care of our salvation, our greatest need, he even takes care of our day to day, the things that we may worry about. But he does that so that, as Nathan said, we can focus on what is most important, the Son of God and his kingdom that is to be established and is being established through us upon the earth. When Israel was in Egypt, they also had to be removed. And one of the reasons was because they were so distracted by all of the needs and wants that they thought Egypt was satisfying them with. That's why when they left, they were crying about the melons and the leeks. Let us in this time also consider. Are we being distracted by melons and leeks in Egypt? Are we being distracted by things in our life from the calling that God has for us? Do we even know what that calling is? If you want to learn more about Nathan's ministry, you can check out Wilderness Driven Family.

Amen. Yes. And Nathan, I love what you had to share about preparing the way for the Lord being like John the Baptist being on fire. Because as we know, we know Yeshua has fulfilled the feast of Passover, first fruits, he's resurrected and the feast of Shavuot Pentecost, giving us his holy spirit. But we are awaiting his return. And so in this time of waiting, we should be as waiters are at the restaurant. We should be serving, serving others and serving our Father and being a light on the hill. Next up, PD will be sharing a message on the Egyptians perspective of God's really strange actions regarding the people of Israel and how God's deliverance to Israel by a strange twist also brought deliverance to Egypt. And after PD speaks, we will have a time of communion that you can join us in so you can prepare for that. And then also following that, a short time of worship and then our live panel discussion with our speakers where again you can ask your questions. And during that live panel we will announce our giveaway winners. Thank you pd.

The famous Passover story is about God delivering Israel from the bondages of Egyptian slavery. But more aspects of God's incredible mercy in this story are often missed or even completely overlooked because we don't consider God's actions from the perspective of the Egyptian culture. God himself says that one of the purposes of the Passover night was to bring judgment upon the gods of the Egyptians. So what did the Egyptians believe about their gods? And how can 10 plagues coming upon a nation be considered merciful? Let's find out. Ten plagues came upon Egypt, culminating in the last and greatest plague, the death of the firstborn. Anyone who did not have blood on the doorpost of their home will have their firstborn suffer death. And anyone who does have blood on the doorpost will be saved. But the question is why the firstborn? The firstborn represents Adam, the first man born on earth. And this is to remind Egypt and Israel and us all of what happened to Adam. In Genesis 2:16, we are reminded of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. God told Adam that you will not eat of it, for in the day that you eat of it, you will surely die. Adam and Eve ate of the fruit and death entered the world. They were the first fruits of death. Under the curse of sin and death, those now born after Adam's line will also die, just as their father Adam did. That is why death still surrounds us to this day. But now think about it. The firstborn of Egypt who do not have blood on the doorpost, they die. But in reality, the Firstborn in Egypt incurred the speedy execution of a death that was already in all of Egypt. All of Egyptian pagans who did not believe in the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob or his salvation would suffer a permanent death one day. A death that God was warning them all about. For they desired to live forever, but they did not possess it. Rather, in the Egyptian religion and among their false gods, they had a counterfeit promise of salvation. Egypt was eating of the same tree that Adam ate of falling for the same false promise of the snake, where the serpent said to the woman, you will not surely die, for God knows that when you eat of it, your eyes will be opened and you will be like God, knowing good and evil. Egypt exalted Pharaoh as the one whose eyes have been opened to be like God. He was their God king who would allow them to not surely die. And their covenant with the snake was marked by the snake on the forehead of Pharaoh. And this is why God says specifically regarding the last plague of the death of the firstborn. Exodus 12:12. For I will pass through the land of Egypt that night, and I will strike all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast. And on all the gods of Egypt, I will execute judgments. I am. The Lord God makes it clear that this is also a spiritual war against the gods of the Egyptians. Of course, there are no other true gods. There's only one true God. But the demons and Satan himself was deceiving the Egyptians. We see now that the Israelites weren't the only slaves in Egypt. These false gods are keeping the Egyptians in bondage and they don't even know it. And what is perhaps so tragic about all of this is that the Egyptians are most famous even today for their obsession with life after death. Through elaborate tombs, pyramids and rituals, they carved a fantasy out onto the walls of their tombs, telling the tales of how they will be saved from death into an afterlife. And the irony is that you can walk into museums today and find some of their bodies meticulously preserved. Their plans to live forever by mummification only documented their failure to live forever. For us all to see, they're still dead. Their plans didn't work. They were so desperate to escape death, thinking that the works of their hands, through building monumental pyramids, their treasures and their gods can deliver them. And the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob sees both Israel's bitter oppression of slavery in Egypt and this desire of the Egyptians to live. And he doesn't strike the Egyptians with one blow to get Israel to be released. Rather over many plagues and many days, he increases the plagues. Ten plagues, culminating with the death of the firstborn. An act of mercy to show his power to Israel and to Pharaoh and to the Egyptians, so that they all would become hopeful that he has the power to give them salvation and to bring them all out from under their hand of Pharaoh. And so suddenly a light appears in Egypt. A way out, A merciful escape from death. A death that they all sought escape from before, but found. Not an escape that doesn't involve building a pyramid or burying a treasure with your body, but to paint the blood of a lamb on your doorpost. Anyone of any tribe or tongue could do it. Follow God and be saved from the death angel. And I can just imagine what the average Egyptian is thinking. You're telling me, Moses, that I need to take the life of an animal, substitute it for mine, and take its blood and put it on a doorpost? I mean, seriously, what can I do? Would have been their question. The Egyptian culture was a pride driven culture of what you can do to atone, what you can do to appease the gods so that they may grant you immortality. But to God comes and says, in truth, what you can do is atone for your sins. You can be judged, you can suffer for the sins that you have committed, or you can let me atone for you. But that would require you to repent, to leave your idols, your ways, your ideas of splendor, and to follow me, to follow a king with no pyramid or elaborate worldly empire, no possessions of this world that can grab your attention. A king who called for a rich young ruler to give up his pyramids and a king who exalted lowly poor fishermen to the greatest in heaven. But how can God save the firstborn? By the firstborn of heaven. His name is Yeshua. The firstborn who was born of heaven and yet lived a life on earth and have never sinned. He was unlike the firstborn of the earth, Adam, who fell in the garden. He was unlike the offspring of the firstborn of Adam, the firstborn in Egypt and in Israel, and the firstborn today, in fact, all today who are now in that curse of sin and death. And because his likeness is perfect and he is crucified for that fact, he declares that I will die for you. I will come in your place. And he becomes the perfect lamb of God that takes away the sins of Egypt, of Israel and of the world. The blood of the lambs that Israel were commanded to put on their doorposts were symbolic of the blood of Christ who would die in the future and whose salvation is made available retroactively for them all to partake in. 1 Corinthians 15:47 says the first man Adam, was from the earth a man of dust, and the second man, Jesus, is from heaven, as was the man of dust, so also are those who are of the dust. And as is the man of heaven, so also are those who are of heaven. All in the world born of the line of Adam are under judgment, and the only way to escape that judgment is to become reborn. You can become grafted into a new family line. The first fruits of the resurrection to be resurrected yourself and to receive a glorified body, to be members of a new kingdom that is coming. 1 Corinthians 15:52 tells us about this, where it's written in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye at the last trumpet for the trumpet of God will sound and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed. When the perishable puts on the imperishable and the mortal puts on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written, death is swallowed up in victory. And God's plan to reach the Egyptians, it worked. It is written in Exodus 12 that a mixed multitude came out with Israel to receive the commandments of God from on high. His heart from the beginning was to receive Jew and Gentile unto himself. That is why you are sitting here believing him today. Yeshua exchanged his life for ours, but taking part in his new life for us means taking a hold with all of our being. Casting off our pharaohs, the pyramids that we are building and relying on and turning from our sin. Our pharaohs can even be when we become the pharaoh of our own lives, working out our salvation for ourselves instead of relying on on his work as the Lamb. Building our pyramids and how when we build our empires upon the earth, taking comfort in our material possessions, being distracted away from the kingdom of God, gathering possessions in the kingdom of heaven and in terms of sin, we can be found leaving some sins behind, but neglecting to cleanse our homes of all the leaven holding on to certain sins unto our death. Use the opportunity of Passover and unleavened bread to cleanse your life from the pride of Egypt. The mentality that caused many Egyptians to resist putting the blood on the doorpost Today, the choice should be easy and clear for you, for the evidence is before you. Unlike the Pharaoh's tomb which has been excavated and wherein they found a body. Yeshua's tomb is empty and the world is changing yet again. The signs of the times are evident, and one day the plagues, just as they were upon Egypt, many of them will be repeated upon this world as is written in Revelation 6 through 19. And when God starts the plagues, the question is, will you heed the warning and the season that we are living in? Moses was sent from the burning bush, and within him was a fire it itself he became a light to Egypt and Israel and all with the message of the impeding plagues. And so today you have been called to be the light to the world, to warn this world of the impeding plagues, culminating in the plague of death that will come and sweep away everyone who do not have the blood of the lamb on this their doorposts. The day of the Lord will come as a thief, and the heavens will pass away with a roar, and the heavenly bodies will be burned up and dissolved, and the earth and the works that are done in it will be exposed. And since this will occur, what sort of a people ought you to be in lives of holiness and godliness? And now should we not grab a hold of that light that he has given us with all of our being, asking to be filled with the spirit more than ever before, and asking to be bold more than ever before? Because today we are the closest to the end that we have ever been. And the clock is ticking. Dear brothers and sisters, the world is growing dimmer every day. We can see it everywhere. But your light should only be burning brighter and brighter and brighter. And that is my prayer for you in this time. Father, help us to be a holy people. Help us to cleanse our own homes of all leaven pride, envy, jealousies, wickedness, adulteries. Lord, help us, oh Father, to be a people truly set apart so that we can become a light, a virgin with her oil full. Help us, Father, to be bold like never before. And help us, Father, show us, Lord, what is. Is there a pyramid that we've been building? Is there a treasure that we've been heaping up? Is there something that we've been relying upon to be buried with us instead of recognizing that we go to the grave with nothing except the Son who is our sole reliance to resurrect us in the last day. Yeshua, help us to purge our lives from any idols and any other gods and any other pharaoh. Help us to be free from all bondage so that we can live with you forever. Yeshua, we give our lives to you anew. We ask that you would Save us. We ask that your blood of the lamb would cover our doorpost. We ask that you would save our families. We pray all this in the name of Yeshua. Amen.

Thank you for that, pd. And we will now be entering a time of communion. So if you've not gotten a chance to grab bread and wine or grape juice, take this moment right now to do so. After that, we will be having a short time of worship and then our live panel discussion with our speakers where you can ask your questions. We will also hear live current updates from the land of Israel. And this is also the time we will do our giveaways.

Awesome. All right, so as we get our bread and wine ready, I just want to like to read a scripture regarding this. Matthew 26. Yeshua speaks with his disciples at the Passover, and he says the following. Now, as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and after blessing it, he broke it. And he gave it to the disciples and said, take, eat, this is my body. And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, 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. I tell you, I will not drink again of this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new with you, my Father's kingdom. And so, even as we today now partake in the wine, our Messiah is waiting for the day that he will partake with us. What an honor that is. But Paul also speaks of this time and says that when we practice partaking in the bread and the wine, we must do so examining ourselves. And so I would like for you, as we do this, examine yourself, take your sins, the things that you've committed this year, the things you've been struggling with, and say, lord, I repent. Lord, I surrender this. And when you have placed this at the Lord's feet, as him being your Passover lamb and your sacrifice, him being the one who cleanses you, makes you white as snow, then you can partake in his body and in his blood. Father, I thank you for everyone, Lord, that's gathered from all over the world, Lord, in this time, for your name's sake, Father, I thank you for laying your feast on our heart, restoring it to us. And Yeshua, thank you for dying for us, becoming the Lamb of God for our sake. Yeshua, I ask that this year you would allow us to be free, Father, from any of the bondages of Egypt that may still be latching onto our lives. Lives. And I ask Father, that every word of these speakers, Lord, that you've spoken through them, that it would go deep inside of our hearts, that you would bring our kingdom calling to the surface for us and you would open new doors for us and help us to be the light of the world. Yeshua, we love you, we praise you and we worship you. The name Yeshua. Amen. And so now we can begin with the bread. Christina, if you can break for us, and I'll remind you, Yeshua said, take, eat. This is my body holding up the bread.

Blessed are you, Lord our God, King of the universe, who has given us bread from the earth.

Amen. Yeshua said, take, this is my body.

And now the blessing over the wine, the grape juice. Baruch Eloheinu, Malik Alam bore Prihaga fen.

Amen.

Blessed are you, Lord our God, King of the universe, who has given us fruit of the vine.

Amen. Yeshua said, drink of it, all of you, for this is the blood of my covenant. Paul writes, cleanse out the old leaven, that you may be a new lump as you really are. Unleavened for Christ, our Passover lamb has been sacrificed. 1 Corinthians 5, 7 John 1:29. The next day, John the Baptist saw Jesus coming towards him and said, behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.

As we consider the Passover story in Egypt, when God told Israel to eat of the Passover lamb and eat unleavened bread, he told them to have their belts girded, their sandals on, and their staff in hand. They were to eat and be ready to step forth in faith and obedience. Let that be our same call to action this Passover and every day going forward that we eat and we take part in Yeshua. We take part in the unleavened bread. We take part in his body and blood. We take part in this gospel with our staff in hand, with our sandals on, with a preparation to go forth, not to sit back and be idle, not to wait for something to happen, but to go for fort and obedience, as Yeshua has called us to be, to be a bride, an equally yoked bride, preparing the way for her Messiah and for her king and her bridegroom.

We are now soon going to be moving into a little time of worship with Trinity, and we're also going to have our live panel discussion thereafter. I would like to remind you that this conference is made possible through your support. If this conference has been a blessing to you and your family and you would like to sow into these speakers you can go and make a [email protected] partner.

So please, guys, go into the comment section right now and just write out the questions that you have for the speakers. Something that they may have talked about in one of their teachings, maybe something that wasn't mentioned, but that you've been wondering about for a long time about is biblical feast days, about Passover specifically or any anything related to those things. All right, so, guys, thank you so much for coming on. All of your messages have been such a blessing to everyone. So I can't wait to just hear some of the. Some of your opinions and thoughts on some of what the people are asking in here. So first question, and I'm gonna just throw this one out there, so please just jump in, is I've heard different views on whether we should keep any of the traditional elements of the Passover Seder. Some people say we should only do what is strictly mentioned in the acts of the story, for example, unleavened bread and better herbs, and that any other additions are pagan. What are your thoughts? Okay, so anyone have any ideas to share about the passive reciter? What do you guys think about that?

I can jump in. What's that? Yeah, Yeah. I would say that if you look closely at the Last Supper, right, in New Testament, you can actually see there that many elements of the traditional Passover Seder are incorporated. So I think if you look closely there, you can see that. And it's powerful, right? Tradition can be really, really powerful if it enhances the Torah commandments that are given, right? If there's a Torah commandment that's given to keep the Passover, and if you have these different elements that really bring beauty to that, then it can be really, really powerful to use a tradition. Obviously, if a tradition goes against a Torah commandment, then that would be problematic, and you shouldn't do that. But if a tradition actually brings beauty to the tradition, if you light candles and if you bring flowers and if you have different cups and you have all these different traditions, then the traditions can be really, really beautiful. And the Jewish people have been doing Passover seders for a really long time, and they have many, many, many really beautiful traditions that they do. And so I would highly recommend to, you know, incorporate some of these traditions it doesn't have to be cookie cutter. You don't have to do all the different ones, but there's some really, really beautiful, meaningful ones that can be really powerful. So that's a kind of a short answer, but that's what I would recommend.

Awesome, brother. Thank you for sharing that. I 100% agree with you. I think for someone who's getting started, like, if you're watching this and this is like your first time ever, you've heard about keeping the Passover. You know, you guys can start really simple. Don't be. Don't feel overwhelmed with things that you may read. You know, the Father is so merciful with us as we discover his biblical feast days and as we grow and just take it step by step and just marinate in his mercy and in his grace as his sacrifice has been made for us, as everyone has so beautifully come together tonight to talk about. But we do see Yeshua. Touching. And I'll just mention this as well to add to what Zach said. Yeshua, we see him with the bitter herbs there, we see him with the wine there. So there are these elements that we see him with his disciples. And so if you don't know where to start, you want to start simple. Go there, and maybe we can start there. Any. Any additional thoughts someone wants to add?

Don't be too legalistic about not doing tradition. That's good. I just wanted to say, as far as passing it on to the next generation, I think that the Jewish people have really nailed that in a big way. And, you know, children, there's, like, memories attached to these traditional things. They get excited. It gives them something to get excited about, something that they want to pass down to their children. And so I think it's something to not take lightly that these traditions, they're put in place because we want the future generations being excited about things of God. And those things were kind of put in there to do that. So a child, you know, gets excited about going and finding the, you know.

The afikomen, you know, it's.

And so, yeah, so it's an important piece, too.

Amen. Amen.

Yeah, I would say, you know, there's beauty in a lot of elements. And when people start to find Passover or the feast, sometimes, you know, they'll find every. Every pendulum on the Internet of something's good, something's bad. Not everything Jewish is bad. Not every tradition that Christianity has brought in is bad. And so, you know, for 20 years, I've been keeping Passover, and we've done it various different ways. And to Braden and Tolley's point, we've got five children. And so when we approach the Passover, we approach it in a way that we really want our kids to find beauty in it and a desire to do it, not just doing it out of obligation or worried about, well, if I don't put on the right sandals or if my belt wasn't tight enough, you know, I'm not keeping the commandments. We want them to see the beauty of Jesus in the feast. And so there's been times where our Passover Seder has looked very, very Jewish. It would be, you know, the 14 elements of a Jewish Seder. There's been times where we've done basically communion and watched the Passion for the Christ. We've been all over the map on. On the customs that we bring in, but there's some real beauty in all of them. And so to just immediately say that some is worldly or it's pagan or it's not allowed, you know, I tend to stay away from that type of stuff. And just look at, you know, well, am I coming to the table of the Lord for his family gathering? And am I teaching my children the beauty that is found in all of these? And so, you know, I think that looks different for every person. And every season they do that for their family, and there's a lot of freedom in that.

Amen. Nathan. Brother, I know you have something to share on this.

Oh, yeah. I just think. I think again, you just can't throw every tradition out. I think some traditions can be writ. Is that can be bad, but most traditions aren't bad when it comes to a lot of the Hebraic stuff and that. I mean, as long as the tradition's not going against the commandment, you know, I think we come out of. We come out of a lot of our ideas of modern Christianity, and then we're afraid of walking into different traditions. And I think there are some great traditions, but I also think on both sides of that, you don't have to do the traditions. And it's just that place of finding the heart. And I always say tradition becomes a problem when you feel like if you don't do the tradition, then you're in sin. That's my whole part that I've always helped teach people. My own personal spot is that traditions are good, but when you feel like you've missed a certain tradition that's not in the Bible, and then you feel like you did something wrong, you may have put more weight on the tradition than the heart of what God was wanting us to do. And so I think there's just a beautiful place in this walk of like, just enjoying the journey. And, man, I've did seders that's full on, you know, the Haggadah. And it's with the egg, it's without the egg. It's. It's with this, it's without that. And I just feel like, man, the father's just excited for us, wanting to get back to the heartbeat. But again, if we're trying to get Judah, our brother, to continue to realize that there's an awakening happening, man, I think sometimes finding value in the way that they do things is a great way to show love and that we support the years and the generations of. Of them laboring and being persecuted and. And so I just think there's a. There's a right heart posture in all of it. And that's my two cents.

Amen. Good word. Thank you, Nathan. Okay, we're going to move on to the next one. Okay. And it is. I grew up being taught that the biblical feast days were only for the Jewish people and that to celebrate them was, as a gentile was, nullifying Christ's sacrifice and placing myself under the law. I've since realized these feast days are for all of God's people. But how can I best share this with my family and friends? Right? So just 2 cents for my part on that for anyone who may be listening and being wondering, you know, why are these Christians, these people who believe in Jesus, talking about the Passover? We believe that we obey God not because we want to be saved by our obedience. We are saved by his merciful sacrifice and grace of everything we've been. The speakers have been sharing tonight so well, but out of. As the fruit of that salvation, we believe in obeying him and walking as he walked because we know that that brings life to us. And so we should never see these things as placing ourselves under the law, because we don't want to be under the law. To be placed under the law is to be under the consequences of what happens to you when you break the law. That is death. And Yeshua brings us out into freedom from death. So by faith, we walk in all things, including in the biblical feast days that he has left for us. So how can we best share this with my. How can I best share this with my family and friends? You know, that was the question. Anyone who wants to jump on that, how can someone who's passionate, who's seen this, but their family doesn't see it, their friends doesn't see it. What can they do to show them? And is there maybe pitfalls as well that we should watch out for in doing so?

I would say keep it Yeshua focused and invite them to participate.

That's good.

Yeah. I would say that trying to force anything on anyone is not usually the productive route of convincing. And so, you know, as far as experience, I feel like if you walk in, the freedom of the commands and the beauty of it without feeling this need to push everyone around you to do the same thing, but just there's a free invitation here. This is beautiful.

If you want to take part in it, fine. But you know, we're not trying to.

I feel like them witnessing the testimony of the freedom that there can be while observing and walking in obedience to the Father. I think that that's probably going to be the most convincing argument that you'll be able to present to people. Yeah.

And I think just adding to that too. Just everything we do, just filling with joy, you know, having the joy of the Lord in it and that I think that does a lot. Just taking away, taking the edge off of, you know, legalism where, you know, it doesn't have to be, you know, a real, you know, heavy duty, you know, things. We're entering into this with joy. You know, I think that that's a real, a real good point of entrance for people too, that they can see that joy, they can see that freedom that we're doing these things in.

And I would always say too, we're.

Called to plant seeds and not pull weeds. We're called to add value and not just tear people down. And so when you're inviting people into the feast and you can show Christ in the feast and you can make it the most Jesus thing ever. And I always like to say, if Jesus said it, I'll say it. If he did it, I'll do it. Like letters in red govern my life. And if we see those and we can see him celebrating these things, I think just constantly planting the seeds and not pulling the weeds because what really they're going to think that you're pitting them against of saying, hey, I should be doing Passover and not celebrating Easter. And that may be ultimately where your heart is for that person, but they're finding value in Easter and the Resurrection Sunday. And so to me, it's always that place of saying, that's a beautiful heart posture. But man, there's more, there's more to these things that Christ did. And so that's my heart is always to know, like, I'm not here to tear down what you currently believe. I'm just here to add value.

Amen.

Yeah, I mean, I've done it the wrong way many, many times. And so to Nathan's point, obviously he didn't know I was going to share this either. But, like, in the season of life, I'm in. Like, when you plant a seed, we're in ministry. We're in ministry. Whether it's our family or it's in some other place, you. You always want to see that. You plant today, you want to see it sprout tomorrow, and you. You want to see it just grow as quickly as possible. And when you do, you feel like you're a success. And so if. If you see the beauty in the feast and you want to start incorporating those in your family, there's two other types of plantings of seeds. There's the one that falls on soil and immediately gets gobbled up by the thorns and dies. Well, we kind of recognize that too. And sometimes from where we come from, we immediately are like, oh, well, it's them, it's not us. Well, sometimes it is how we serve the gospel or the feast to our neighbors or to our families if we're too forceful or if we do pit them against each other. And sometimes that causes it to become in the thorns. But the reality is that there's that middle ground where you plant to see today, and it doesn't come to fruition for five to 10 years. And sometimes it's hard for us to be very slow and methodical and intentional in our walk to show the fruit, to bear the fruit of what God or the Holy Spirit is doing in us or our family, so that the other people who are watching, because they are watching that they will see that fruit and they'll want to partake in that. And so how we go about celebrating the feast either paints this beautiful picture to our friends and our families and those who are watching, or sometimes we're really the reason why people will be like, I'm not sure if I want to partake in that. And so we just very cautious in how we approach that. And unfortunately, there's been many years of my life I didn't understand that principle. And I was the reason why people didn't want to keep the feast or keep the Sabbath or find the beauty of the revelation of the Torah and the prophets. And so I just encourage you, if God is stirring your heart, to keep the feasts and the festivals, how you approach that with your Friends and your family will definitely weigh in, whether they find beauty in it or whether they're immediately turned off by it. And so play the long game. Your job is not to be the sunshine. Your job is not to be the water. You're just to plant seeds. And if you can understand that and you can be patient in that. I've seen the Lord do some amazing things, even when I've done horrific things in the name of the feast or the festivals, to my friends and my family.

Amen. It's a good word, brother. Thank you so much. All right, I'm gonna go into the next question here, and it is from Mel, and she's asking, can you give any tips on starting worship on the Sabbath in an area where there are no messianic worship places? Mal, I would just. For, from, from, for me, I would just say begin. You know, I think sometimes we get overwhelmed by the idea of how do I start a fellowship? Because we walk into a fellowship and everything is in order. But also remember that everything begins in a place of serving and humility. So just share the Gospel, make disciples. And the best fellowships are what grow out of that by being a good disciple of Yeshua, which by nature is going to mean that you're going to be sharing the Word with other people, people, invite people to your home, have a Bible study, make disciples, baptize people. And from there, next thing you know, you have a group of people around you who are journeying with you, who are perhaps like minded. And then that becomes something that is a meaning, right? And that becomes something maybe one day that the Father, if he so desires, grows into a fellowship. So I would just say don't get too overwhelmed by. I need to start a church today, just be a disciple today. That is that, that includes fellowship by definition because that's what Yeshua and his disciples did, is fellowship. So any, any other thoughts you guys have?

I think all that's really good. I think I saw on the chat earlier that, Mel, you're in Oklahoma, and so I also am an Okie by the word of the Lord. Not by choice, but I would be more than happy to help you in any way. All the resources that our church has, if you feel like the Lord is calling you to a Sabbath gathering or home worship service, whatever that it looks like. So you can, you can email us through the church website and we can, we can offer any support here in the local Oklahoma area that we might be able to help you with.

Great. Right, Mel, go to hebraicfamily. Dot Com. Is that right, Chris?

And reach out to Pastor HFF Church.

Okay, you got it. Yeah. Someone wanted to add something.

Yeah, I was just thinking, too, you know, as you start something, sometimes I think there can be a tendency to be isolated from the other believers in the area. One thing that we've really tried to do in our area is just build bridges with the pastors and just try not to be ostracized from the broader body. I think it's really important just for the testimony. Even though kind of going back to what we're talking about, we want to build bridges, we want to sow seeds. And I think if we kind of present ourselves as being antagonistic towards local pastors, you know, that we're, you know, doing something different, which we are, you know, you will be doing something different, but just, you know, not that you're trying to compete or you're trying to bring it. I don't know. How would you add to that? Just like you're not wanting to sow discord into the local body, you want to bring. You want to add. Yeah, yeah.

Support.

And so that's been a really big, you know, going back to Chris's point, you know, the years we've been in this area for about 10 years, and we first got here, there's a lot of rumors that went around about us, you know, but just faithfully sowing seeds of love and blessing in the area. People are like, wow, you know, the feasts are amazing, and it's slowly kind of taking on. And some people have come into this walk, but it's been very gentle. The approach has been very gentle. I think there's a lot to be said for that.

I think Pastor Chris has been pretty successful of doing that with his fellowship. Chris, do you have any idea that you can give someone to, you know, adding onto what Braden is saying about being a good connecting point with the other fellowships and churches in your local community?

Yeah. I mean, first off, I have to give. I have to give credit where credit is due. I've watched the Waller family do this since I walked through the doors of lamb Fellowship in 2007. And so the Waller family has been doing this not only in the United States of America and in communities, but also in Israel. And, Braden, you. You are right. You know, they will. They will say all kinds of things about you. But I can say as a personal testimony that I have watched tremendous fruit from your family, because you guys have always. Whether it's in a community in Israel or whether it's a community Here, stateside, you have tried to be a blessing in every community, to be a bridge. And for us locally, there's just a lot of pastors who don't fully understand why we do or who we are. And so I've always found that, like, just build a relationship with them. I'm not here to, to try to speak at your church. I'm not here to try to take people from your congregation. I'm here to just partner with you. And by doing that, you know, sometimes it starts off small. Like, they're like, hey, we need people to pick up trash in the park for our event. Sure, we'll be the best trash picker uppers that you can find. Or hey, you know, hey, we're going to do this event. And then we'll be talking and I'll just be like, hey, did you know that this happens to fall on the Feast of Trumpets? And they're like, oh, what's the Feast of Trumpets? And so sometimes it takes a long time to build that relationship and that trust. But there has to be mutual respect in a community for other people who believe in Jesus Yeshua and walk a little bit differently in their faith. And as you kind of are respectful of who they are, you'll find they're actually respectful of you and they'll start to ask a lot of questions. And then it's no different than First Baptist asking Second Baptist to come and join them for something in a park or a cookout or. Honestly, outreach is a big area that churches are always looking for support. And so I know from the Messianic side of Christianity, we don't traditionally do a lot of outreaches. We're somewhat, a little bit more inclusive and exclusive to our Sabbath gatherings and our feasts. But I've never met a church that will, will turn down a group of people who will go pray for people under a bridge or serve at a homeless ministry. And when you're serving side by side in the Kingdom, whether it's Baptist, Pentecostal, been Pentecostal, or we actually had Mormons who came to our outreach Passover for the first time ever. And so just being respectful of the other people and where they're at, you'll actually find that they're respectful of who you are and where you're at and you can actually have healthy dialogue. And I've seen a lot of the people locally. The largest Baptist church in Norman, the pastor is now keeping the Sabbath, shuts down his sermon prep on 4pm on Friday and goes till 4pm on Saturday. And I never asked him to do anything. I didn't tell him why he was bad for not keeping the Sabbath. It was just, here's why. I find beauty in the Sabbath. And I know the Waller family has years and thousands of testimonies of the same type of fruit. And so I just encourage people. If there's a way to get into the mud with people and serve, I don't care what denomination they are, get in and serve with them. And you'll find a lot of open doors and a lot of respect to actually be able to share why we kind of look more Jewish than in most denominations.

That's good. That's good. Thank you, Chris.

I was just looking up a verse here in Acts after the Holy Spirit's fallen, in Acts, chapter two. And here in verse 46, it says, so continuing daily with one accord in the temple and breaking bread from house to house, they ate their food with gladness and some simplicity of heart, praising God and having favor with all people. And the Lord added to the church daily to those who are being saved. Here in this first part, it says, continuing daily, they broke bread, ate food. There's like this togetherness that's taking place here. And then if we back up a little bit here to verse 42, and they continued steadfastly in the apostles doctrine and fellowship and the breaking of bread and prayers. So, like, I have a box for. Okay, the apostles doctrine, you know, that's like a teaching that they. That they, you know, were teaching about this amazing new thing that's going on. Breaking bread, prayers, like these things we could have a box for. But it says they continued steadfastly in fellowship after they were filled with the Holy Spirit. And I think that's been kind of a big thing that's maybe been missing in a lot of the Hebrew roots movement is we get, you know, all these new ideas and concepts, and sometimes the emphasis can be more on the information and the details rather than the relationships. And, like, the whole Bible is about having a relationship with God and relationship with people. And here, after they were filled with the Holy Spirit from God, they were steadfast in fellowship. Like, do we even have a box for that? Do we even have an idea of, like, what that even look like? So I think that's kind of what we're saying here is like, as you start, you know, worshiping on Shabbat, make sure that you don't isolate. Make sure that you don't get off by yourself and lose the fellowship. Because the fellowship is where God Speaks through other people into us. And we cut off a lot of those, you know, areas where God is trying to bless us and bring his word to us. When we, when we don't have those, that fellowship going on. So inviting people over, going to serve, interacting, being out there and with people and talking to people and learning from them. Everybody has something we can learn, even if they're not exactly, you know, have the same ideas about Hebrew root stuff or whatever. People have so much that we can learn and grow from and be encouraged by. And when we serve together, you know, we've experienced that so much in Israel. When you come and you serve together, when you're, you know, harvesting grapes on the mountains of Samaria, that's obviously amazing thing when you can come together, do things together, have a vision and focus. But that can happen on a lot of different levels. Like you said, just getting together with the church and doing whatever, you know. But when you do things together, get your hands on together, serving, fellowshipping, studying the Bible, worshiping, praying, all those things together can really bring a lot of really, really powerful times of relationship. And I think we, even culturally, we're missing out on that. Right. The whole relational thing is kind of a lot of times pushed to the side, but it's a really, really important, key thing for the body of Messiah especially.

Right.

We have to know we're believers by our love for one another. So I think that's really important. And maybe it has been a little bit of a missing element, especially in previous years within the Hebrew roots movement, but it's something that I think that God is kind of bring a revival to and people are becoming more aware of. Okay.

Yeah.

This is actually a really serious thing we need to invest in. Like, fellowship is a real deal and it's important.

Amen. And just that's. That's a good word, brother. And moving into just the next question is very related to this because we're mentioning now, you know, movements and denominations and things like that. This question is, many of my friends have recently stopped keeping the feast days, keeping Sabur because they've seen the divisions and disunity within the Hebrew roots movement and believe it can be, it cannot be of Yah. This breaks my heart, but I've seen the same issues and I am conflicted. I still believe the Torah is for today. But why is there so much pride and hate in a movement that should be all about loving God and loving others? Yeah, that is. That is key. Right? So, guys, I think we should just begin with remembering that we are called to be disciples. There are so many different movements, denominations out there, right? And if their heart is for Yeshua, right? If they believe in the fundamental truth of who he is, right? That is my brother, that is my sister. But not everyone who says that they are his are his, right? We see in the word of God that we must bear fruit worthy of salvation. And so when you try and figure out, what should I do? Don't look at people. They're going to be people who do things right, they're going to be people who do things wrong. And they're all going to call themselves the same name at times. And that causes us to be confused by all the labels. Let's just dial it back. Let's look at the life of Yeshua. Look at what Jesus did. I want to be like Jesus. I hope you want to be like Jesus. Let's be like Jesus together. Let's be his disciples. That's what a disciple means, right? I'm gonna follow. Come and follow me. He told Peter and the rest, that's what Yeshua came to establish a group of people who are truly following him. So don't worry too much about the labels. It's just what I'll say. Any additional thoughts?

I would say it's in heaven.

Yeah, it is a hard thing to hear. That's funny. But I would say it's a human condition. I'd say, yes, it exists within the Messianic movement and we have a lot to grow in that area, but it's a human condition. And, you know, people. I could name a lot of different, you know, from a lot of different denominations, but people get getting offended at, you know, a situation, a person, and then just shutting down their faith in God. And it's interesting. I think it's the only time in the Gospels where one of the disciples says, says that whole thing about, you know, forgive your brother, you know, 70 times seven, you know, Peter's like, increase our faith. You know, it's like to walk in fellowship with people, like Zach was saying, it takes a lot of commitment. And, you know, whether you're in a Baptist church or a Messianic congregation or any congregation you're in, you're going to have to learn to walk in forgiveness, learn to walk in kindness and love towards people. And so, yeah, I get that there's. Yeah, there are issues. There's specific issues within the Messianic movement, but there's issues with humanity in this area. And you have to just realize there's going to be a battle for your heart. And as Yeshua told John, blessed is he who's not offended in me. You know, that we can have fellowship with brothers and sisters and seek to not be offended, I think is really, really important.

Yeah, I mean, it breaks my heart for all years that I've been on this side of whatever you want to call Christianity, Messianic, Hebrew roots, Torah pursuant Torah, observant. It's got many names. I've seen it, I've experienced it. Breaks my heart. But to Braden's point, it's a heart issue because when the revelation of the Torah and the feasts and in our heritage, our brother Judah, our sisters in Judah, when that revelation comes to you, that is a revelation as a gift from God. And that gift from God is to be used to multiply his kingdom, to push forth the character and the essence of the righteousness of God. And I think we have to remember that it is not enough to just know about God. It's not enough to just know about Passover or Jesus or, you know, what seder plate elements did they have or what day did they work or what was the right calendar, the wrong calendar, all the things that happen and every denomination has them to Braden's Point as well. Ezekiel says that we have to have a new heart. And if we are the current temple of the Lord, where the indwelling of the Holy Spirit can come and it can rest inside of us, this heart of flesh, that Yetzer Ra, that evil inclination, it has to be transformed by the power of the Holy Spirit in the Ruach Hakodesh so that we're not just approaching our brothers and sisters, we're not just approaching the Word. We're not just approaching life using our mind, but we're using our heart, which is being transformed. And I think I've seen a change over the last maybe five or so years where there is a generation of people who have grown up in feasts and the festivals and all of these Hebraic undertones where they are burning and passionate. Nathan mentioned it with the wild ones and the burning ones. The goal is not that I am right and PD is wrong and I have seen approach those portions of the scripture and we've gone so far as to throw out everything in Judaism. We throw out everything from. From centuries of. Of church fathers, and we've thrown out all those things. My heart breaks that we've seen those things happen, but they are not exclusive to, to the Messianic Hebrew roots, Torah pursuant movement. For centuries it's happened, happened with Baptists And Pentecostals and with the Protestant Reformation. And so we have the same issues that all of humanity has. Hinduism has it, Buddhism has it, all these other worldly religions. Because ultimately we're fighting against our heart being changed. And until we get our heart changed, God dwelling within us, we're approaching all of our brothers and sisters with the knowledge we have. And I can tell you, over 20 years, my knowledge of the feasts and the festivals have been different. They have looked different in practice, They've looked different in taught them to my children many, many times. And so which one of me was right? And I think that's how we have to step back and understand this is a living God we serve. This is the whole point of this conference you put on PD is that this is not a dead God. This is a living God we serve. That living God has journey. And as long as we have breath in our lungs, he is speaking, moving and molding each and every one of us. And so we have to afford everybody else that same place. Just because they're at a different spot on the journey doesn't mean that I need to break fellowship with them, doesn't mean that they're the devil. It doesn't mean that they're my adversary. And that's a hard place to get. And I repent for the many, many years that I was not at that place and that I was trying to be my own God in doing. But until our hearts change and we allow Holy Spirit to be the Spirit and not the Spirit of Chris or PD or Braden and Tali or Zach or Nathan, we're going to have the same human issues that we constantly have, and the Lord wants us to be one. Zach read about it in Acts 2. One of the most revolutionary times where the Gospel is going. They had all things in common because they were breaking bread, reading the apostles teaching. They were coming together for corporate prayer, and they had fellowship. We see that same fellowship with God with the Israelites in Leviticus when he came down and dwelled with them. And so they were still coming out of slavery at that point in time. They were very new to the commandments and to the feast and the festivals. And we see that all throughout the tour. God was very gracious with them. Maybe we showing the same grace that's afforded to us to other people. And maybe we might see those people come back to the feasts and the festivals, because I don't believe I'm required to do anything. But I'm at this point with Jesus where I want to meet him at his table when he says Passover is mine, I want to meet him there. I want to enjoy the revelation of that. And my heart breaks for you experience friends walking away from it because the truth is they are right. There has been division, there has been discord, but be the light that changes that because the Holy Spirit lives in you.

Amen.

That's good.

Chris. JS Genesis design says, he said, go out and make disciples, not denominations. He is going to want to see your heart condition, not hear what you know. Yeah, I just imagine coming before God and being like, well, God, I know about this, I know about that. I know about this, I know about that. And standing there with a heart that has not truly been made unleavened, you know, that would be a bad time. So, guys, let's. Let's do. In the season, let's do introspection. Amen. And guys, I think that there's a lot of people watching tonight, like this person. This feast season has been very difficult for my family. Many trials and situations that feel like an attack from the enemy. Family and faith and other struggles. It seems like this every year around the feast days. Do you know why this is? Well, of course, when the father is up to something, the enemy is also going to try and make our life difficult. But even if there's spiritual warfare, we can stand on the promise of the salvation that has come that is here, that is now, that is available to us. Someone, one of the speakers tonight said, talked about how, I think it was Brian or it was Zach who mentioned about how the. Our God literally resurrected from the dead, like in this earth that happened. Right. And so that means that there's power available to us here right now for the situation that we're facing, the trials we're facing. God has power over those things. So, guys, I know that the world right now, hopefully you've not been watching too much news because you know they're gonna just make your head spin in this season where we're supposed to, to be just having peace in the resurrection when the world's going crazy. Let us have peace. And, and with that, you know, we're going to take some time before we end. We're going to end soon. And we're going to pray for everyone who's watching tonight, for all the, all the trials that they may be facing. Any, any thoughts on that? Any words anyone has for someone watching right now who's going through a hard time. How can we have a feast when we feel like our lives are falling apart?

Yeah, I Think what I mentioned, the teaching was, if God raised Yeshua from the dead and there's no problem you have that he can't fix, right? And that's such a powerful statement. It's like, yes, even death can be overcome through the power of Yeshua and his resurrection. So be encouraged. It doesn't mean that every problem we have is just going to be like, boom, fake. You know, sometimes I think we, you know, we desire that. We want our problems to go away, and oftentimes they don't. But, but knowing that God is with us and teaching us and going to be with us through those things and also another reason, you know, that seems like one of the themes of our discussion here is relationships. So we need people, too, so that people can. You can go to somebody and pour your heart out to them and then get. Receive ministry. And like, that's why relationships are so important too. We need each other. That's the reality. As much as we might, you know, somehow even subconsciously convince ourselves that we don't, we do, right? And in those hard times, that's. Especially when we need people so we can go and talk and, and, you know, receive ministry and, and be open and vulnerable. All those hard things, right? It's not easy. It's like, you know, saying sorry, being vulnerable. These certain things are just really hard. But they're. When you do it, then it's like, whoa, that was so powerful. Why didn't I do this a long time ago? So I think that's, that's. I think my encouragement again is, you know, in those hard times which, you know, we all have, press into the relationships and ask people, talk to people, get mentors, get, you know, get help. It's important.

I mean, Zach, there's a lot of trial happening right now in, on your side, right, In Israel. Can you share with us, just in short, some current events?

Yeah, yeah. I mean, I think, yeah, Overall, obviously since October 7th, Israel's just been, you know, it's been a really, really roug year and a half. I'm sure everybody's, you know, familiar with a lot of that. But it's interesting though, I think Israel is such a testimony of that overcoming. I mean, even in the, like, this was hard, right? They talk about hard things. This was really, really hard. Like terrorists coming and doing atrocities like you can't even imagine, you know, even me being there in Israel and experience a lot of it still. People that were on the border, you know, I went down and visited, I think, three times down to those border communities. And wow, such utter and just horrible devastation. Like, it's, it's so hard. But seeing how Israel has responded to it has been absolutely amazing. Like, they, and you can tell, you know, especially now, after a year and a half, they're tired, right? They're, they don't want this, this war and these things going on. But still they're like, okay, no, there's, there's an evil we have to overcome, but we're going to do it in a right way. You know, we're going to, we're going to, we're going to, you know, continue pressing and doing these things. And they're, and there. And so there's still like this kind of courage and determination to be like, okay, yes, we're going to, you know, go in and eliminate the evils. We're going to. And seeing people turning to God through the whole time, too. Even people who were at, you know, there's this nova Festival on October 7, and there were people that were not doing very godly things. But since then, those very people are talking about how they've now started praying and they've started reading their Bibles and they've started, you know, doing these different things. It's like, wow, there is an awakening that's happening. And for all those people who were like in more the religious communities, they're going to the front lines and they're, and they're ready to go and fight. You know, I think that's really what Israel is, right? It's this very physical picture of very spiritual things going on. Right? And so that's, that's what we're seeing in Israel. So I think overall as a nation, there's definitely kind of a worn out kind of tiredness like, whoa, how much longer is this war going to go on? And we definitely need to pray, you know, continue praying for the peace of Jerusalem.

Right?

We're mandated to do that. But also seeing the resilience of these people is also just inspiring and encouraging to see this taking place in the land. Obviously, now with the Trump administration and Mike Huckabee just this last Wednesday got officially put in as the US Ambassador to Israel. So that's very encouraging. We've never had a pro Israel Christian as the ambassador. And so, I mean, there's a lot of opportunity. Obviously what we would like to see is Israel putting forth a, you know, legislation river to bring sovereignty to Judea and Samaria, to actually make that no longer, you know, just annexed by Israel, but are not no longer just military controlled by Israel. But actually annexed as part of the nation of Israel. So that, that's a huge prayer point for Israel. That with kind of, it seems like the setup that God's providing here with my Huckabee and these different things going on, that there could actually be time for the heartland of Israel, Judea and Samaria, to be included, officially annexed, and sovereignty given to that in the nation of Israel. So there's. There's the nutshell. Obviously, there's a lot. Lots going on and lots to pray about, but. But that's. That's the nutshell.

Well, thank you. I really appreciate that. But I think as we're nearing, we're ending in a few more minutes, I would like to just take this time to pray. We pray for Israel, pray for the people in the live chat today, guys, right now, if you're watching, just go to the live chat, write any prayer request. If there's something deep dear to your heart, then we can specifically even pray for you. But I'll just pray, Father, I just thank you so much for, Lord, all that you've done here tonight, Lord, to bring all of this together. Father, I pray, Lord, that every person who is watching, every family member, Lord, that they are thinking about every trial that they themselves are facing, every worry in their heart during this time, Lord, where Father, we are to celebrate, we are to take joy, but some of us feel like we don't have joy right now. And so, Father, I ask right now that you would come with your Holy Spirit and in the midst of the storm, Lord, just when Israel was, When they were walking through the Red Sea, as the sea was being split for them, that there was a storm all around them, but yet they were in the palm of your hand every step. And they didn't even realize how powerful you were until they saw it. And so, Father, I ask, Lord, that you would put that faith in us to follow out of Egypt, wherever we are, whatever bondage that we are facing, whatever sin we are entrapped in. Father, we thank you that you have the power to deliver us. Holy Spirit, come to anyone listening to this right now at the sound of my voice and, Father, deliver them from their bondage. Unlock their chains, their addiction. Father, I pray, Lord, we speak against that and we break that off in the name of Yeshua. Father, I thank you for giving them the freedom that you have died, that you have paid for, for them to have in you. Father, I ask that you would come and bring a conviction of even our mentalities, Lord, that are in opposition to your kingdom. Father, I pray that you would come and expose the deepness of our hearts where there are issues, things, Lord, that we may not be aware of, unintentional sins even. Lord, I ask that you would come and bring that to the light. Father, as we cleanse our homes of the leaven, Lord, help us to cleanse our hearts by your power. Father, I also just would like to pray for Israel, Father, I ask that, Lord, you would have your hand of protection over your people, that you would protect, Lord, I pray, Father, that there would be a ceasing to the war there and even the wars around the world. There are many like now. Father, I pray for peace, Lord. I pray, Lord, but in the midst of war, in the midst of oppression, Lord, I pray that your works would go forth, that your word, your gospel would go forth in the trenches. Your name will be proclaimed and they will hear and believe and be resurrected in the last day. Father, I also pray for the Palestinians. I pray for everyone on the other side, Lord. Lord, I pray, Lord, that your gospel would go forth, that they would be protected, Lord, the children would be protected. There will be peace, Father. And Lord, at the end of the day, God, you have come to die for Egypt. You have come to die for Israel. You've come to die for all people. And I ask that all people would hear and come in, Lord, that we would all stand before you, Lord, that people of all tribes and tongues would stand before you. Father, I pray that unexpected things, even in ways that we cannot fathom, that your gospel would go forth and touch lives. In the name of Yeshua. Father, I thank you for above all, Father, we can speak about many things tonight, but I thank you above all, Lord, that you have died for us. I thank you that you have decided and with joy you went to the cross. No one forced you, no one did it. You did it freely. You decided. And Father, with that, there's nothing I can say that comes nearer to express that mercy. Father, we praise you for that and we worship you and we ask that you would accept our praise this night as a pleasing aroma. In the name of Yeshua. Amen. I wanted to just say thank you so much, all you guys. Nathan has left early. Thank you, Nathan as well. Thank you guys all for being with us, for your teachings, for your worship.
