walls of Jerusalem (not in the tent city
outside the walls) as it was His final one.

6Last Passover- Lord's Supper

The whole purpose of the Passover is to
remember
what happened on that night in Egypt.

Jesus will fulfil this Passover with His death.
After the 2nd Coming the Passover will be
celebrated again.

He had made special arrangements to do
this.
–
preparations are made by Peter and John.
They had to buy the Passover lamb in the
Temple, 1/7/2013 9Last Passover- Lord's Supper

In the Temple it was killed.
The blood poured into a bowl that was
poured out at the base of the Altar,

•Lamb skinned & entrails removed.
•Parts of lamb burned on the Altar.
•The lamb is then roasted.

•Unleavened bread, free from the fermentation
process, represents incorruptibility.
•Messiah kept the appointed time by exchanging
His corruptible flesh for incorruptible flesh during
the festival.
•He exchanged the mortal for the immortal, as
Scripture says, “He whom God raised did not
undergo decay” (Acts 13:37).
•During this appointed time of the “Feast of
Incorruptibility,” the women discovered the empty
tomb and the risen Yeshua appeared in the midst
of His bewildered disciples.

Passover Matzah, the bread dough must be
baked less than 18-20 minutes after the flour
ground is moistened with water, so that
fermentation will not take place.
“Clean out the old leaven so that you may
be a new lump, just as you are in fact
unleavened. For Christ our Passover also has
been sacrificed. Therefore let us celebrate
the feast, not with old leaven, nor with the
leaven of malice and wickedness, but with
the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth”
(1Corinthians 5:7–8).

When the children of Israel left Egypt, they
were leaving behind their old culture.
While in Egypt they had absorbed much
of the wickedness and idolatry of
Egyptian society.
The unleavened bread symbolized a new
beginning. They were starting over.

In Hebrew language, wine is “ ”
meaning .
The word’s picture language too
represents the same. Bubbling is the
visible sign of fermented grape juice.
“Unfermented Grape Juice” was not
known till around 1862
A.D discovered pasteurization method
to prevent fermentation process.
Hence, Biblical wine is not plain grape
juice, as popularly believed. Israel’s
Wine used for sacred occasions had
less than 3% of alchohol.

 When they enter the Upper Room each
man will recline
 on his left elbow on a couch to show
they are free, not slaves.

 At this point a slave or young woman should
bring a bowl of water for each man to wash his
hands before eating.
 But there is no woman or slave in the room
and none of the disciples will demean
themselves to do such a menial task.
 Jesus takes off His outer garment and gets the
water and towel…but instead of washing
hands He washes their feet.
 He does this to teach them humility in service.

Exodus 6:6-7. "Therefore, say to the children
of Israel 'I am Hashem (LORD God), and
from under the
burdens of Egypt;
from their service;
with an outstretched
arm and with great judgments.
for a people and I
shall be a G-d to you...."

Jesus picks up the
1st cup of wine – &
prays a prayer of thanksgiving.
He takes a drink & passes it around the
table.

They now dip their
leafy green vegetable into the
bitter herbs
twice & eat it,
to remember
(i) their slavery in Egypt &

to remember
(ii) Pharaoh’s edict to kill
all Israelite baby boys.

Jesus now picks up
.
He will dip His finger into the wine and
let a drop fall to the table,
He will do this 10 times,
naming the plagues in Egypt, in order.
He then takes a drink & passes it around the table for
each man to clear the taste of the bitter herbs from the
mouth. 1/7/2013 36Last Passover- Lord's Supper

Jesus now mentions that one of the disciples will
betray Him…
the disciples call out asking “is it me?”.
Jesus says “it is the person who dips into the same
bowl as Me”
because they are now going to dip the leafy green
vegetable into the Salt water and eat it
to remember the crossing of the Red Sea…

only Judas and one other disciple will dip into the
same bowl as Jesus.
Those who have heard that comment now know it is
one of two men.
Judas asks quietly “is it me?” and
Jesus equally quietly answers “yes, it is you”.

Jesus now takes out the middle loaf of
bread,
breaks it in two,
wraps one half in a linen napkin and
hides it away until after the meal.

With the other half
He is going to make
13 small sandwiches with the
‘ ’ mixture as the filling.
This is to remember the making of
in Egypt
(the colour of the mixture is the same as
that of the bricks made).

At this point Peter, getting impatient,
calls across to John “ask Him who it is.”
Jesus tells John it will be the person He
gives the first sandwich to.
The person who receives the first
sandwich is being treated with honour.
Jesus hands the first sandwich to Judas…
Jesus is honouring Judas.

Jesus continues to make the other 12
sandwiches and
at some point turns to Judas and tells him
“what you do, do quickly” and
Judas leaves the room.
Some of the disciples have not heard any
of the relevant conversations so they think
Judas, as the group’s treasurer, has been
sent to give money to the poor or buy
provisions for the feast. 1/7/2013 42Last Passover- Lord's Supper

Peter and John now carve the roast Lamb
with their two knives
(which they later say are swords)
and they eat the main meal

After the meal Jesus retrieves the half
Matzos bread that was hidden away,
(Linen napkin is now retrieved)
brings it back to the table, unwraps it and
will give each man a piece to take away
the greasy taste of the lamb.
He gives this bread
special significance

Then Jesus takes the 3rd cup of wine –
.
To the Jews this cup remembers the blood of the lamb
daubed on the lintel and doorposts of their homes the
night the angel of death passed through Egypt.
Jesus changes the significance of this cup of wine
when He says, “This is My blood of the new Covenant
shed for you and for many for the remission of sins.”
(Jeremiah 31:33-34)

They then sing six Psalms 113 118, known as the
(which means ‘Praise’)…
This is were we get our word ‘Halleluia’ from:
( ] – another form
of addressing YHWH-YEHOWAH).
After Psalm 117 they stop and Jesus picks up
4th cup of wine – ,
they all take a drink to enable them to sing
Psalm118 well, as it is a Messianic Psalm.

Having completed the Psalm,
then comes the teaching in John 14th
chapter,
then they leave the Upper Room.

The bread bag with the three loaves is
still part of the modern Passover
but if you ask an Orthodox (Jewish) Rabbi
the significance of what they do
he will not be able to tell you the truth…
but
a Messianic believer will tell you the truth.
Unbelieving Rabbis teach:
This broken middle matzah symbolizes humility and will be eaten later as
the "bread of poverty."

There are three loaves in one bag …
there is one Godhead with
God the Father,
God the Son and
God the Holy Spirit.
It is the middle loaf that is taken out –
the incarnation of Jesus.
It is broken in two – Jesus was broken for us.
One half is wrapped and hidden away –
Jesus was wrapped in burial cloth and
put in a tomb.

It is retrieved and unwrapped –

•The Harvest of the Barley Omer occurs on the
second day of the seven days of Unleavened
Bread. It is a miniature appointed time within a
larger appointed time (the Feast of
Unleavened Bread).
•Beginning on the day that the first omer of
barley was harvested and brought to the
Temple, a countdown to the next biblical
festival began.
•The Torah commanded the Israelites to count
off forty-nine days and then celebrate the
festival of on the fiftieth
day.
•The day the omer was brought was day one of
what is called “counting the omer.”
