John 1:29 – The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.
Ephesians 1:6,7 – To the praise of the glory of h is
grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved. [7] In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
God has not accepted a Passover offering since he sacrificed himself as the perfect Lamb of God to whom all the other Passover Lambs merely pointed as representations of the final, and only, Son and Lamb of God. Christ will take away all sin by an individual’s trust in his sacrifice to have accomplished it by grace through faith.
Matthew 23:37-39 – O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! [38] BEHOLD YOUR HOUSE IS LEFT UNTO YOU DESOLATE. [39] For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
Luke 23:44-46 – And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour. [45] And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst. [46] And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost.
John 19:30 – When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, IT IS FINISHED: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.
Philippians 2:6-14 – Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: [7] But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: [8] And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. [9] Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him A NAME WHICH IS ABOVE VERY NAME: [10] That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; [11] And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Acts 4:12 – Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is NONE OTHER NAME under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
II Corinthians 3:12-18 – Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech: [13] And not as Moses, which put a vail over his face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished: [14] But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ. [15] But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart.
[16] Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away. [17] Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. [18] But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.
Passover by the Law was cancelled some 1978 years ago, and the way to God and eternal salvation of the soul is no longer hidden behind the veil of the Law in the Temple, it has been exposed to both Jew and Gentile in the sacrifice of Christ, who kept every jot and tittle of it.
Galatians 3:24-26 – Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. [25] But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. [26] For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.
Galatians 2:20,21 – I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
[21] I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.
Israel might as well cancel the Passover! They kept offering Passover Lambs until 70 A.D. at the Temple of Herod, but God would no longer accept them because the Lamb of God had offered the sacrifice on his cross that confirmed the covenant of grace to both Jew and Gentile.
He was cut off by his own people in the midst of Daniel’s Seventh Week as he confirmed the covenant on the cross. The sacrifice and oblation by the Jews ceased to be accepted by God at his temple at that time. God cut off the acceptance of their worship because of the spreading of their abominations in their offerings. They had turned his house into a den of thieves.
Daniel 9:27 – And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate. (See Archive Prophecy Updates 230B, 231, 231A, 231B, 232, 232A, 232B, 232C, 233, and 233A)
The Temple, the House of God, was left spiritually desolate by their rejection of his eternal offering of himself for sin.
Luke 19:41-46 – And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it, [42] Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes. [43] For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side, [44] And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation. [45] And he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold therein, and them that bought; [46] Saying unto them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of thieves.
Matthew 23:38 – Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.
The Temple will not be restored until the consummation of the Age of the Gentiles at the Second Advent, at which time judgment determined by God will be poured on the spiritually desolate.
Matthew 23:39 – For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.

Let’s cancel Passover
Pesach is all about obsessive cleanliness and bad food; let’s get rid of it
Assaf Wohl
Let’s be honest here: Passover is an unbearable holiday. I want to see one person (who does not own shares of a cleaning supplies company) get up and declare what he expects of this holiday.
Three weeks ahead of zero hour, I already constantly encounter nosy questions: “So, you started cleaning up for Pesach already?” Everyone wants to know if you are already ahead of them when it comes to scrubbing the freezer, or whether you are still stuck in the vegetable compartment.
Everyone feels they must do something ahead of this hygienic holiday, before their lovely uncles and aunts show up at their doorstep bearing flowers and a gift from IKEA.
There is no doubt that this holiday breaks even those who somehow survived the cruel tests of Hanukah and Purim. After all, everyone is already looking for ways to run away.
Travel agents are offering a Seder in Turkey, Greece, or even Bangkok.
It took the Israelites 40 years to reach the Promised Land and now that they finally made it, they are going back to the beaches of Sinai. Nobody really wants to be here when the Seder happens. Nobody wishes to be struck with sudden “freedom” from the skies.
To be honest, I also don’t feel like being a free man. I find it convenient to be told what to do. For example, I prefer not to go through the torture of choosing gifts for my mother and mother-in-law.
I even prefer to build cities in the service of an Egyptian emperor and to collect straw without any social benefits rather than polish windows.
Besides, what’s this story with freedom
? Imagine a regular Jew just minding his own business when suddenly he is surprisingly told that from this day on he is a free man. A special holiday was even developed to that end. Who wouldn’t be struck by fear in the face of such grave news
?
Subjugated to something
Therefore, the Jew immediately looks for hard labor that would make the distress of freedom easier for him. For that reason, he cleanses the air-conditioner, vigorously scrubs the toilet, and polishes the kitchen counter.
He is unable to stop for a moment and think like a free man. He must become subjugated to something. This is likely the reason why the neurotic people of Israel turned the Holiday of Freedom into an obsessive holiday of cleanliness.
So again we shall be forced to eat matzo ball, and again grandma will claim that as opposed to what the horrific flavor suggests, we are not eating made-in-China hydraulic oil, but rather, original borscht from Poland, and again hospitals shall receive fools who crammed their stomach via over-consumption of kosher-for-Passover cookies made up of coconut and peanuts. So who needs this holiday? Why do we need to drag it out over a whole week?
Therefore, I ask the proper authorities to take care of this and annul
this long and needless holiday. No, we have no interest in becoming free men.
Perhaps, we can replace it by doubling or tripling the duration of Independence Day.
