Unity in the Body of Christ

Eph 4:1 I therefore, the prisoner in ADONAI, beg you to walk worthily of the
calling with which you were called,
Eph 4:2 with all lowliness and humility, with patience, bearing with one
another in love; 4:3 being eager to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond
of peace.
Eph 4:4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as you also were called in
one hope of your calling; 4:5 one Lord, one faith, one immersion,
Eph 4:6 one ELOHIM and Father of all, who is over all, and through all, and
in us all. 4:7 But to each one of us was the grace given according to the
measure of the gift of Messiah. 4:11 He gave some to be emissaries; and
some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, shepherds and teachers;
Eph 4:12 for the perfecting of the holy ones, to the work of serving, to the
building up of the body of Messiah;
Unity in the Body of Christ
Eph 4:13 until we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the
knowledge of the Son of ELOHIM, to a full grown man, to the measure
of the stature of the fullness of Messiah;
Eph 4:14 that we may no longer be children, tossed back and forth and
carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in
craftiness, after the wiles of error;
Eph 4:15 but speaking truth in love, we may grow up in all things into
him, who is the head, Messiah;
Eph 4:16 from whom all the body, being fitted and knit together
through that which every joint supplies, according to the working in
measure of each individual part, makes the body increase to the
building up of itself in love.
 Provisions in the Torah for a Second Passover
Num 9:10 “Speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, saying, ‘When any male of you or your
generations is unclean1 for a being, or is far away on a journey, he shall still perform the
Passover of ‫יהוה‬. Footnote: 1Defilement can be imparted from one to another.
Num 9:11 ‘On the fourteenth day of the second month, between the evenings, they perform it
– with unleavened bread and bitter herbs they eat it.
Num 9:14 ‘And when a stranger sojourns among you, then he shall perform the Passover of
‫יהוה‬. He shall do so according to the law of the Passover and according to its right-ruling. You
have one law, both for the stranger and the native of the land.’ ”
 Num 9:10 “Ganito ang sabihin mo sa buong Israel: Kung may mga kamag-anak kayo na
itinuturing na marumi , o may kababayan kayong naglalakbay at nasa ibang bayan, maaari
dahil sa pagsaling sa bangkay

nilang ipagdiwang ang Paskuwa. :11 Ito’y gaganapin nila sa kinagabihan ng ika-14 na araw ng
ika-2 buwan. Sa gabing yaon, kakain din sila ng korderong pampaskuwa, tinapay na walang
lebadura, at mapait na gulay.
 Num 9:14 “Ang sinumang nakikipamayan sa inyo ay maaaring sumama sa
pagdiriwang ng Paskuwa kung susundin niya ang mga tuntunin tungkol dito. Iisa ang
tuntunin ng Paskuwa, maging para sa taal na mamamayan at sa mga dayuhan.”

 The Feasts of the Lord
Nisan 14 marks the beginning of this seven-day celebration, which includes:
1. Passover, the day Yeshua/Jesus was crucified, is the first festival on
Yahweh's/God's calendar.

2. Feast of Unleavened Bread – Leaven or yeast represents sin and we are to

remove all yeast from our homes for this feast. We need God to live this
"yeastless" lifestyle and the only way we get that is through the atoning blood of
Jesus/Yeshua.
3. Feast of First Fruits (Yeshua's Resurrection).
Yeshua was the first to rise from the dead with
a new body. So He is the "sheaf", the first of the
harvest, that is waved before Yahweh in
celebration and with thanksgiving.
Passover represents the Hebrew's
physical deliverance from Egypt
and our spiritual deliverance from
the slavery of sin (John 8:34) and,
since Jesus/Yeshua's death, a
memorial of the sacrifice that Jesus
has made for mankind.
• PASSOVER DAY: IT IS FULFILLED ?
• The words Messiah used is the Passover Ceremony
• He did not make it go away. Christ Fill-full it. He
fill it to perfection.
• The whole Feast Table is set before us is to teach
us the the things that Messiah Did.
• The words that He spoke and the songs that He
sings are all full of meaning to us , Belivers.
Christ Came to Fulfill the Law
Mat 5:17 "Huwag ninyong isiping pumarito ako upang sirain ang kautusan
o ang mga propeta; pumarito ako hindi upang sirain, kundi upang tuparin
ang mga ito.
Mat 5:18 Sapagkat katotohanang sinasabi ko sa inyo, hanggang sa mawala
ang langit at lupa, ang isang tuldok o isang kudlit ay hindi mawawala sa
kautusan, hanggang sa matupad ang lahat ng mga bagay.
Mat 5:19 Kaya't sinumang sumuway sa isa sa pinakamaliit sa mga utos na
ito, at magturo nang gayon sa mga tao ay tatawaging pinakamaliit sa
kaharian ng langit; ngunit ang sinumang tumupad at magturo ng mga ito
ay tatawaging dakila sa kaharian ng langit.
Mat 5:20 Sapagkat sinasabi ko sa inyo, malibang humigit ang inyong
katuwiran sa katuwiran ng mga eskriba at mga Fariseo, ay hindi kayo
makakapasok sa kaharian ng langit.
Christ Came to Fulfill the Law
Mat 5:17 “Don’t think that I came to destroy the Torah or the Prophets. I
didn’t come to destroy, but to fulfill.
Mat 5:18 For most certainly, I tell you, until heaven and earth pass away, not
even one smallest letter or one tiny pen stroke shall in any way pass away
from the Torah, until all things are accomplished.
Mat 5:19 Whoever, therefore, shall break one of these least
commandments, and teach others to do so, shall be called least in the
Kingdom of Heaven; but whoever shall do and teach them shall be called
great in the Kingdom of Heaven.
Mat 5:20 For I tell you that unless your righteousness exceeds that of the
scribes and Pharisees, there is no way you will enter into the Kingdom of
Heaven.
Christ Came to Fulfill the Law

Luke 16:17 But it is easier for heaven and earth to

pass away, than for one tiny stroke of a pen in the
Torah to become void.
Luke 16:17 Ngunit mas madali pa para sa langit at
lupa na lumipas, kaysa maalis ang isang kudlit sa
kautusan.

Luke 16:17 Magaan pang maparam ang langit at ang

lupa kaysa mawalan ng bisa ang kaliit-liitang bahagi
ng Kautusan.[ng]
 KINGDOM PRINCIPLES
General definition:
 KINGDOM PRINCIPLES
General definition:
Marcion~ Dualism (HERMENETICAL LAW)
• The Old Testament was written by the same God who wrote
• the New Testament.
• There were not two Gods in history, meaning there was no dualism or radical
split between the two testamental periods.
• There is only one God, in time and eternity.
• This idea has had opposition throughout church history.
• An ancient two-Gods heresy was first promoted in the church about a century
after Christ's crucifixion, and the church has always regarded it as just that, a
heresy. It was proposed by a man named Marcion.
• Basically, this heresy teaches that there are two completely different law
systems in the Bible: Old Testament law and New Testament law (or non-law).
• But Marcion took the logic of his position all the way. He argued that two law
systems means two Gods. The God of wrath wrote the Old Testament, and the
God of mercy wrote the New Testament. In short: "two laws-two Gods."
KINGDOM PRINCIPLES: (HERMENETICAL LAW
 The Old Testament was written by the same God who wrote
the New Testament.
 Many Christians still believe something dangerously close to Marcionism: not a
two-Gods view, exactly, but a God-who changed- all-His-rules sort of view.
 They begin with the accurate teaching that the ceremonial laws of the Old
Testament were fulfilled by Christ, and therefore that the unchanging principles
of Biblical worship are applied differently in the New Testament. But then they
erroneously conclude that the whole Old Testament system of civil law was
dropped by God, and nothing Biblical was put in its place. In other words, God
created a sort of vacuum for state law.
 This idea turns civil law-making over to Satan. In our day, this means that civil
law-making is turned over to humanists.
 Christians have unwittingly become the philosophical allies of the humanists with
respect to civil law. With respect to their doctrine of the state,
 therefore, most Christians hold what is in effect a two-Gods view
of the Bible.
Christ Came to Fulfill the Law
Col 2:16 Let no one therefore judge you in eating or in
drinking, or in respect of a festival or a new moon or
Sabbaths –
Col 2:17 which are a shadow of what is to come – but the
Body of the Messiah.

Col 2:16 Kaya't ang sinuman ay huwag humatol sa inyo

tungkol sa pagkain at inumin, o tungkol sa kapistahan, o
bagong buwan o mga araw ng Sabbath,
Col 2:17 na ang mga ito ay isang anino ng mga bagay na
darating, ngunit ang katawan ay kay Cristo.
Christ Came to PREACH and teach only about the KINGDOM OF GOD

KINGS REIGN

PEOPLE SUBMITTING TO THE AUTHORITY OF THE KING

CITIZENS OF THE KINGDOM = CHILDREN OF THE KINGDOM (OUR ABBA)

TERRITORY = JERUSALEM JUDEA SAMARIA TO ALL THE NATIONS

CONSITUTION = LAWS OF THE KINGDOM

KING YHVH = OWNER OF THE UNIVERSE (HEAVEN AND EARTH)

THE BIBLE DOESN’T NEED TO BE REWRITTEN, BUT IT NEEDS TO BE REREAD.

“ Our Father in heaven,hallowed be your

name.Your kingdom come.Your will be done,on
earth as it is in heaven” . . . . (Matt 6:9-10). 
The parallelism of this prayer interprets “your
kingdom come” as “your will be done on earth as
it is in heaven.”
 In other words, we are to pray that God’s reign
will be experienced on earth as it is right now
in God’s own heavenly presence.
 When God’s rule is completely established in
this world, then all things will be ordered
according to God’s perfect design.
 ANUNG IBIG SABIHAN NG “MABUTING BALITA” na Pinangaral kay ABRAHAM?
Anung klase ba ang panamnampalataya ni Amang ABRAHAM?
ANG TUNAY NA MAY PANANAMPALATAYA AY MAY KASAMANG MABUTING GAWA
 What Is This Kingdom?
 Jesus spoke of the Kingdom with the same understanding in Matthew 7:21:
“Not everyone who says ‘Lord, Lord’ to me will come into the Kingdom of
Heaven, but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.”
Mat 7:21-23 (21) “Hindi lahat ng tumatawag sa akin, ‘Panginoon, Panginoon,’ ay
papasok sa kaharian ng langit, kundi yaon lamang sumusunod sa kalooban ng aking
Amang nasa langit. (22) Pagdating ng huling Araw, marami ang magsasabi sa akin,
‘Panginoon, nangaral po kami at nagpalayas ng mga demonyo, at gumawa ng mga
kababalaghan sa inyong pangalan!’ (23) At sasabihin ko sa kanila, ‘Kailanma’y hindi
ko kayo nakilala. Lumayo kayo sa akin, mga mapaggawa ng Kasalanan!’ ”
 The emphasis is on the importance of keeping God’s commandments,
 but Jesus’ use of “Kingdom of Heaven” is the same as Yehoshua ben Korhah’s in the passage above.
 Both of these sages spoke of God’s kingdom being rooted in the confession of
his authority and the doing of his will..
 According to Jesus’ definition, this kingdom is limited:
 only those who follow him are included.

Mat 5:(16) Even so, let your light shine before men; that they may see your good
works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven. (17) “Don’t think that I came to
destroy the Torah or the Prophets. I didn’t come to destroy, but to fulfill.
1Jn 2:(3) This is how we know that we know him: if we keep his
commandments. (4) One who says, “I know him,” and doesn’t keep his
commandments, is a liar, and the truth isn’t in him. (5) But whoever
keeps his word, ELOHIM’s love has most certainly been perfected in
him. This is how we know that we are in him:(6) he who says he
remains in him ought himself also to walk just like he walked.
Passover belongs to God/Yahweh...
'The feasts of the Lord, which you shall
proclaim to be holy convocations, these
are MY (not Jewish, but the
Lord/Adonai's) feasts. (Leviticus 23:3)

Yeshua is the innocent Lamb of

God/Yahweh, slaughtered for the blood
that takes away the spiritual death. Christ
our Passover also has been sacrificed." (1
Corinthians 5:6-7)
The third cup declares "I will redeem you
with a demonstration of my power", that
Yeshua used when he declared "This is my
blood poured out for you" (1 Corinthians
11:25).

The fourth cup is when Yahweh says "I

will make you my people" of which
Yeshua declared '"This cup is the new
covenant in my blood, which is poured
out for you" (Luke 22:20)
 Exo 6:6 Kaya't sabihin mo sa mga
anak ni Israel, Ako ang
PANGINOON at aking ilalabas
kayo sa ilalim ng mga pasanin ng
mga Ehipcio, at aking hahanguin
kayo sa pagkaalipin sa kanila, at
aking tutubusin kayo na may
nakaunat na kamay at may mga
dakilang kahatulan.
Exo 6:6 ‘I am YAHWEH, and I will bring you out from under the
burdens of the Egyptians, and I will rid you out of their
bondage, and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm, and
with great judgments:
Exo 6:7 and I will take you to me for a people, and I will be to
you an ELOHIM; and you shall know that I am YAHWEH your
ELOHIM,
 Yeshua is the innocent lamb of God/Yahweh,
slaughtered for the blood that takes away the
spiritual death.
 The matzoh is pierced and striped, as Yeshua's
body was striped from the whip, and pierced by
the thorns and the spear.
 The middle matzoh (the afikoman), held aloft,
broken, wrapped, hidden and later redeemed
represents Jesus, who likely used that bread
when he said "This is my body broken for
you."(1 Corinthians 11:24)
Passover represents the Hebrew's
physical deliverance from Egypt
and our spiritual deliverance from
the slavery of sin (John 8:34) and,
since Jesus/Yeshua's death, a
memorial of the sacrifice that Jesus
has made for mankind.

THE SYMBOLISING OF THE

MESSAGE OF THE CROSS or TREE?
Act 10:39 We are witnesses of everything he did both in the countryside of Judea, and in
Jerusalem; whom they also killed, hanging him on a tree 10:40 ELOHIM raised him up the
third day, and gave him to be revealed,
Act 10:41 not to all the people, but to witnesses who were chosen before by ELOHIM, to us,
who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead. 10:42 He commanded us to proclaim
to the people and to testify that this is he who is appointed by ELOHIM as the Judge of the
living and the dead. 10:43 All the prophets testify about him, that through his name everyone
who believes in him will receive remission of sins.”
Act 10:39 Mga saksi kami sa lahat ng mga bagay na ginawa niya sa
lupain ng Judea, at sa Jerusalem. Siya'y kanila ring pinatay nang
kanilang ibitin siya sa isang punungkahoy. 10:40 Siya'y muling binuhay
ng Diyos sa ikatlong araw, at siya'y hinayaang mahayag; 10:41 hindi sa
buong bayan, kundi sa amin na hinirang ng Diyos bilang mga saksi na
kumain at uminom na kasalo niya, pagkatapos na siya'y mabuhay mula
sa mga patay. 10:42 Sa ami'y ipinagbilin niya na mangaral sa mga tao
at sumaksi na siya ang itinalaga ng Diyos na maging hukom ng mga
buhay at ng mga patay. 10:43 Siya ang pinatotohanan ng lahat ng mga
propeta, na ang bawat sumasampalataya sa kanya ay makakatanggap
ng kapatawaran sa mga kasalanan sa pamamagitan ng kanyang
pangalan."
YESHUA HANGED ON A
TREE
The Tree
Peter was probably also aware of
Deuteronomy 21 v23,  "anyone who is
hung on a tree is under God's curse".   
(In Hebrew there is no distinction
between a living tree and a
reconstructed structure such as the
Roman crucifixion cross, both are ets - to
the Hebrew speakers Jesus really was
"hung on a tree”.)
The Jewish religious leaders had failed to
see in scripture, that the Messiah would
come first as the suffering servant and
take the curse for our sin and make
atonement.   See Isaiah  53 and Psalm
22.    (Messiah's assumption of the
throne of David was to await his second
coming.)  

Gal 3:13 Messiah redeemed us from the
curse of the Torah, having become a curse
for us – for it has been written, “Cursed is
everyone who hangs upon a tree.”1 –

The second and deeper irony in the reading "Jesus Barabbas" appears when
we note that "Barabbas" (or "Bar Abbas") is the Hellenized form of the
Aramaic name Bar Abba, meaning "son of the father." And the name "Jesus"
(Greek, Yesous) is the Hellenized form of the Hebrew name Yeshua. [3]
 3rd word – behold my mother

‫ְראֵה ז ֹאת אִּמֶָך‬

JohN 19:27 Then to the taught one He said,
“See, your mother!”
And from that hour
.
that taught one took her
to his own home.
During the experience of suffering the pain of being nailed to a Roman cross, Jesus
fulfilled one of the greatest commandments in the Torah: the commandment to honor
one’s parents. He told the beloved disciple to care for his mother.
Verse 27 tells us that the disciple took her into his own home, as he would his own
mother.
28 After this, Jesus, knowing that all was now finished, said (to fulfill the Scripture),
4rd word - Matthew 27: 46. And about the ninth hour, Y’shua
cried out with a loud voice and said, My El! My El! [Lemana
shabakthani] Why have you spared me?
Mat 27:46 At nang malapit na ang oras na ikasiyam ay
sumigaw si Jesus ng may malakas na tinig, na sinasabi, "Eli,
Eli, lama sabacthani?" na ang kahulugan ay "Diyos ko, Diyos
ko, bakit mo ako pinabayaan?" ‫אֵ לִי ֵאלִי ָלמָה ֲעזַבְּתָ נִי‬
Mat 27:47 At nang marinig ito ng ilan sa mga nakatayo roon
ay sinabi nila, "Tinatawag
. ng taong ito si Elias."
Mat 27:48 Tumakbo kaagad ang isa sa kanila at kumuha ng
isang espongha, pinuno ito ng suka, inilagay sa isang tambo,
at ibinigay sa kanya upang inumin.
Mat 27:49 Ngunit sinabi ng iba, "Pabayaan ninyo siya,
tingnan natin kung darating si Elias upang iligtas siya." :50
At muling sumigaw si Jesus ng may malakas na tinig at
nalagot ang kanyang hininga. 51 At nang sandaling iyon,

with the Hebrew word used in Psalm 22. However,
 the root of the word shbak has several other meanings
including:

meaning as
“FORSAKE”

6th word It is finished  broaike tetalestai ‫נִׁשְ לָם‬
"It is finished". Jesus cried out “It is finished” (John 19:30) from the Cross.
 This expression (“It is finished”) is the Greek term tetelestai, which literally meant “paid in
full.” == NT scholar Edwin Blum writes about the secular meaning for the phrase: “Papyri
receipts for taxes have been recovered with the word tetelestai writte across them, meaning
‘paid in full.’ This word on Jesus’ lips was significant. When He said, ‘It is finished’ (not ‘I am
finished’), He meant His redemptive work was completed.”
 Eddie Chumney writes about how the phrase relates to the priests at the temple and the
sacrifice of the Passover .lamb: At the time of the evening sacrifice (3:00 p.m.) for Passover
(Exodus [Shemot] 12:6), the high priest (Cohen HaGadol) ascended the altar, cut the throat of
the lamb with a knife, and said the words, "It is finished."  These are the exact words said after
giving a peace offering to G-d. At this same time, Yeshua died, saying these exact words in John
(Yochanan) 19:30.
 col 2:12 having been buried with him in immersion, in which you were also raised with him through faith in the
working of ELOHIM, who raised him from the dead.

‫א ָּתה מָ עּוּזִ י‬-‫י‬
ַ ִ‫ּתו ִֹציאֵ נִ י מֵ ֶר ֶׁשת זּו טָ ְמנּו לִ י ּכ‬
We read these fitting words in Psalm 31:1-5
1 
In you, Lord, I have taken refuge; let me never be put to
shame; deliver me in your righteousness.
2 
Turn your ear to me, come quickly to my rescue;
be my rock of refuge.  a strong fortress to save me.

Since you are my rock and my fortress, for the sake of your
name lead and guide me.
4 
Keep me free from the trap that is set for me,
    for you are my refuge.
5 
Into your hands I commit my spirit;
    deliver me, Lord, my faithful God.
 “Into your hands I commit my spirit” (Psalm 31:5)

5 Into your hands I commit my spirit; deliver me, Lord, my faithful God..

 The Hebrew word which was translated as “I commit” is “‫פיד‬ ‫”אַ ְ ִק‬
(pronounced afkid). This word has a meaning that is much closer
to “I deposit” – which necessarily signifies a future “reclaiming”
of the thing deposited. A vivid image might be that of checking
in a coat at theater. or restaurant, or even money into the bank,
with the definite intention of getting it back.
 While the English word “commit” can also be used to describe
giving something in with the purpose of claiming it back, at
some point in the future – it might just as well mean the giving of
something without stating clear intentions for the future.
 In Hebrew, on the other hand, the unequivocal meaning of this
verse is the temporary submission of one’s spirit into the hands
of God, into “His custody”, with the definite intention of
receiving it back.
 “Into your hands I commit my spirit” (Psalm 31:5)
5 Into your hands I commit my spirit; deliver me, Lord, my faithful God..

This of course makes perfect sense that Jesus would quote this

psalm in particular, while hanging on a Roman cross.
The above discussion shows that if we take the time to compare the
original verse Jesus was reciting from Hebrew, a simple,
but significant insight .into the words of Jesus on the cross will
emerge. The words Jesus uttered were nothing less than a
declaration of his great Israelite faith that as he deposits his soul
into the hands of his Heavenly Father, he will surely get it back at
his resurrection from the dead. What happened three days later
proved that Jesus did not hope in vain.

Freedom in Messiah is true freedom. Let us praise His Name always

as we remember His shed blood for us all at Calvary!

Like the Hebrews held captive in Egypt, we were once slaves, slaves
to sin: “For freedom Christ/Messiah has set us free; stand firm
therefore, and do not submit again to the yoke of slavery.”

The Seder is considered an integral aspect of
Jewish faith and identity.
As explained by the
“Haggadah”
(a special book which contains the
complete Seder service),
without the Exodus,
the Jews would still be
slaves to the Egyptian
Pharoah and would never
have realized their role as
a nation.

At the Seder, every

person should see
themselves as if they
were going out of Egypt.

• Beginning with the Patriarchs, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, we recount the
Jewish people’s descent into Egypt and recall their suffering and
persecution.
• We are with them as G-d sends the Ten Plagues to punish Pharaoh and his
nation, and follow along as they leave Egypt and cross the Sea of Reeds.
• We witness the miraculous hand of G-d as the waters part to allow the
Israelites to pass, then return to inundate the Egyptian legions.

Passover and Gentiles:
If there are aspects of the Passover Seder from which all people
can learn, how much more so is this true for believers in
Messiah? After all, our Master Yeshua chose the wine and the
matzah of a Passover Seder to represent his body and blood.
More than just learning about and celebrating the concept of
freedom from oppression and exile,
- for disciples of Messiah, the seder celebrates Yeshua’s atoning
death and resurrection while remaining firmly grounded and PASSOVER 1948 LIBERATION OF ISRAEL

There is ample evidence that, for the earliest Gentile believers,
the celebration of Passover was an important holiday celebrated
by all believers in Messiah—both Jewish and Gentile. 
Paul wrote the book of 1 Corinthians to a predominantly Gentile
audience who attended both synagogue and weekly gatherings of
believers. 
For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed. Let us therefore celebrate the festival, not with the

The Torah uses four expressions of
freedom or deliverance in connection
with the liberation from Egypt
(see Exodus 6:6-7).

Also, the Children of Israel had four great

merits even while in exile:
1. They did not change their Hebrew names;
2. They continued to speak their own language, Hebrew;
3. They remained highly moral;
4. They remained loyal to one another.
Wine is used because it is a symbol of joy
and happiness.

 Yachatz - Breaking the Matzah
The three pcs of Matzah is called in
Jewish Tradition as the Unity of
the Godhead
middle Matzah on the Seder plate is
broken in two.
The larger part is put aside for later
use as the Afikomen.
(Unleavened bread)
The smaller part of the middle Matzah is returned to the Seder plate.
This broken middle Matzah symbolizes humility and will
be eaten later as the "bread of poverty."

.
 The Afikomen was
Striped and Pierced

AFIKOMEN
It was unleavened
Leaven represents sin (Matthew 16:6, 11-12)
 The Afikomen -The Hidden Manna
The 'hidden manna' that Christ mentions in that letter
alludes to a Jewish tradition during the Passover meal that
went something like this; during the meal, the Seder leader
would take a linen bag with 3 Matzah wafers in it,
remove the middle matzah, and break it in half. Then,
they would place one half back in the linen bag, and wrap
the other half in a linen napkin and hide it in the house
while the children covered their eyes. Then, after the meal
was over, the children would be turned loose to find the
matzah, known as the 'Afikomen'. When it was found, the
child who discovered it would receive a reward.
Hmm. Does this sound familiar somehow?
 THE FULFILLMENT
At this point, your Christian antennas should be in the
fully upright position, because the symbolism here is
taken directly from Christ's crucifixion and
resurrection. And in a way, it amazes me that this
tradition is still not associated with Jesus Christ within
the Jewish community. It would seem to me that it could
refer to nobody else, no matter how far we stretched the
symbolism. Here are the associations;
1) Jesus is the 'Son of Man' that was the middle
figure of the 'bread of life' Godhead (Father -
Son - Spirit). He indeed was the middle matzah.
2) Jesus was broken for our transgressions, just
as the middle matzah was broken.
3) Jesus was wrapped in linen after he was crucified,
just as the middle matzah was wrapped in linen,
becoming the 'Afikomen'.
4) Jesus was hidden away in a tomb, just as the
Afikomen was hidden away.
5) The child that found the Afikomen would receive a
reward, just as those with "faith like a child" find Jesus
Christ and receive the reward of eternal life.
Notice how the mnemonic meanings of the pictographs
coincide perfectly to the tradition of hiding and then finding
the 'matzah', known as the 'Afikomen'. The children would
seek the matzah, which would be revealed ONLY to the
seeker. If you did not seek, you did not find. Does that
remind you of any particular scripture? 
Afikomen simply means"I came."
At same time the Jews were looking so hard for
the Messiah, the Messiah came!

“The highest point in the evolution of the Pesach

(Passover) came in the last century of the second
Temple, when the Jews suffered from the heavy
oppression of the Romans.  It was during this
period that the Messianic hope flamed up, and in
the minds of the Jews the deliverance of the future
became bound up with the first redemption in
Jewish history: the deliverance from Egypt...This
belief gained added strength in this period of
Roman occupation and oppression....
 ..Jews began to believe that the Messiah would
be a second Moses and would free the Jews the
self-same eve, the eve of [Passover]. 
So [Passover] became the festival of the second
as well as the first redemption; in every part of
the world where Jews lived, especially in
Palestine, Jewish hearts beat faster on the eve of
[Passover], beat with the hope that this night the
Jews would be freed from bondage of Rome,
just as their ancestors were released from
Egyptian slavery."  -The Jewish Festivals; by
Hayyim Schauss pg 46-47
This would mean that during the same time when the Jews
were looking the hardest for the Messiah to come to
redeem them, the Messiah DID come to redeem them.
In other words, the Lord announced to the Jewish
community that while they still seek their Messiah even to
this day, their Afikomen "WAS revealed" back in the first
century. He has already come, and He died on a cross to
save them, and the rest of us, from our sins.
One day soon when the 'sign of the Son of man' appears in
the sky, the Jewish community will finally find their
Afikomen, Jesus Christ, and on that day, they will receive
their reward of eternal life.
Perhaps When gentile christian learns to
appreciate and practice jewish ways they could be
better witness to the jews today, like using the
hebrew language:
*the mystery of the broken vav in
 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be
saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. [John
10:9]
The blood of the Passover lamb was put on the
doorposts for death to pass over their houses.
When we accept God's perfect sacrifice for our sins,
we enter into God's family. By faith, we walk though
the doorway into God's house, through the blood of
The Lamb (Christ) that is on the doorposts, and death
will pass over us!
 Why Can’t the Jews see the Messiah in the Passover
The way I see it, there are three reasons why the Jews
can’t see:
1. Because the Spirit has blinded them....or....
2. The “Christians” persecuted the Jews....or...
3. Because Jews study the Torah. They know the
Torah is forever. The know it is holy and good and
that the Messiah would not do away with such a holy
and good law. Since most Christians believe that the
Messiah did do away with the law, the Jews don’t
even bother looking into “Christianity”.
Matzah is the bread of humility–the bread of affliction
or the bread of poverty (symbolically because of Sin).
When someone is afflicted in the natural he is
'brought low.' When God afflicts us it is because He
loves us and wants to mold us and make us like His
Son.

Matza is a perfect picture of Yeshua, humble and

obedient to everything His Father commanded
Him, even to death, and not just any death that is
instant and without pain, but a death that
is severely torturous and prolonged:
He was spit upon and struck by some in the
Sanhedrin; He was brutalized by the
Romans who ripped out His beard, placed a
crown of long and piercing thorns upon His
head, slashed His back open with the
Roman lashes of sharpened implements
attached to the lashes to literally rip the
back open, and lead balls on the lashes to
pummel the life out of Him, AND THEN
He was pierced with nails to a wooden pole
to be displayed as an object of ridicule,
totally naked…totally humiliated…for you
and me.
That's the physical description of what Yeshua went
through for us, but the spiritual description is that
He did that so we could 'taste and see' that Yahveh is
GOOD, full of love and compassion, mercy and
truth. 
Psalms 34:8: “Oh, taste and see that Yahveh is good!
Blessed is the man who trusts in Him!”
John 15:13–14: “Greater love has no one than this,
than to lay down one’s life for his friends.
You are My friends if you do whatever I command
you.”
the Passover celebration is an intricate part of
walking in His ways:
Exodus 13:6–7: “Seven days you must eat
unleavened bread, and on the seventh day there shall
be a feast to the Lord. Unleavened bread shall be
eaten seven days. And no leavened bread shall be
seen among you, nor shall leaven be seen among you
in all your quarters.”
Deuteronomy 16:3: “You must eat no leavened bread
with it; seven days you must eat unleavened bread
with it, that is, the bread of affliction (for you came
out of the land of Egypt in haste), that you may
remember the day in which you came out of the land
of Egypt all the days of your life.”
1 John 5:2–3: “By this we know that we love the
Sons of God, when we love God and keep His
commandments. For this is the love of God, that we
keep His commandments and His
commandments are not burdensome.”

What is a definition of humility? To follow His

commandments in this world of darkness.

1 John 2:3: “Now by this we know that we know

Him, if we keep His commandments.”
 What is the Symbolism of
Afikomen?
The middle Matzah on the Seder plate
is broken in two.
The larger part is put aside for later use
as the Afikomen
Rev 2:17 'He who has an ear, let him hear what the
Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes,
to him I will give some of the hidden manna,
John 6:41 Therefore the Jews were grumbling
about Him, because He said, "I am the bread that
came down out of heaven."

“This is My Body”
The afikomen is what Jesus was referring to when
he said, “this is my body” (Matthew 26:26, Mark

(Ruach Ha-Kodesh) and growing in faith
(emunah) in G-d (making spiritual aliyah)
The similarities between the two feasts (Pesakh 8 days/sukkot 8 days) are that both include the
celebration of a week plus an eighth day, so they have chiastic themes.
 The essence of Shavuot is that of celebration weeks.
 The first ordinal number represents something in the physical realm, but the second number
something in the spiritual realm that is still part of the first number.
 For instance, six days involved creating with THINGS, but the Seventh involved creating with TIME,
something less tangible or visible.
 All the “good" THINGS created on the six days were elevated on a day of “holiness” to be enjoyed
on Shabbat, the Seventh.
 This transformation of the Spirit and flesh is a message of the Seven to the Eight.
 That which was completed and brought to a state of holiness in the physical and spiritual realm of
the week is elevated on the Eighth Day. ***
There is no 8 without a 7, and there is no 7 without a 6.
What’s beyond the Seventh Heaven?
Celebrate the eighth days of Passover and Sukkot;
Celebrate the eighth day after the completion of the 7 weeks of counting to Shavuot.
It will be a taste of what is beyond the veil of flesh.

7 BLESSINGS OF THE PASSOVER
15 "You shall observe the Feast of Unleavened Bread; for seven
days you are to eat unleavened bread, as I commanded you, at
the appointed time in the month Abib, for in it you came out of
Egypt. And none shall appear before Me empty-handed. 15
Ang pista ng tinapay na walang lebadura ay iyong
ipagdidiwang; pitong araw na kakain ka ng tinapay na walang
lebadura, gaya ng iniutos ko sa iyo, sa takdang panahon, sa
buwan ng Abib (sapagka't niyaon ka umalis sa Egipto); at
walang lalapit sa harap ko na walang dala:
16 "Also you shall observe the Feast of the Harvest of the first
fruits of your labors from what you sow in the field; also the
Feast of the Ingathering at the end of the year when you gather
in the fruit of your labors from the field. 16 At ang pista ng
pagaani ng mga unang bunga ng iyong kapagalan, na iyong
inihasik sa bukid: at ang pista ng pagaani, sa katapusan ng
taon, nang pagaani mo ng iyong kapagalan sa bukid.
