April 2024 – Cycles of the Moon – Passover / Pesach

Cycles of the Moon – Passover / Pesach –

Passover (Pesach) April 22-30

The cycles of the moon and the sun are the basis for the Jewish calendar. The fourteenth day of the month of Nissan is the beginning of The Feast of Unleavened Bread, the 7-day Passover (Pesach) holiday (8 days in the Diaspora). The yearly celebration by the Jewish people commemorates the anniversary of their ancestors’ miraculous exodus from Egyptian slavery. More than three thousand years ago they waited for their deliverance behind a closed door with blood from a sacrificed lamb on the side and top of the door frame. On the eve of Passover, Jewish families will remember the Exodus with a Seder, a dinner with four cups of wine and a special plate with symbolic foods. In retelling the Exodus story, Scriptures are read with each cup of wine and the purpose of the symbolic food is explained. Those with eyes to see will recognize the Messiah in the symbolism. This Passover may more Jewish people recognize Yeshua Jesus as the sacrificial lamb for sin. It is time for their waiting for Messiah to end.

“5 Out of my distress I called on the Lord; the Lord answered me and set me free. 14The Lord is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation.”  Psalm 118:5, 14 ESV

PRAY FOR:

  • Holy Spirit to reveal truth of the gospel to the Jewish people
  • The people to accept His sacrifice that provides forgiveness of sins, hope and eternal life
  • The Lord to supernaturally set free the hostages
  • The peace of Jerusalem
