Passover Communion

Exodus 12:5-46

5  Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year: ye shall take it out from the sheep, or from the goats:  ⁶  And ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month: and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in  the evening.  ⁷  And they shall take of the blood, and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses, wherein they shall eat it.  ⁸  And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and unleavened bread; and with bitter herbs they shall eat it.  ⁹  Eat not of it raw, nor sodden at all with water, but roast with fire; his head with his legs, and with the purtenance thereof.  ¹⁰  And ye shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; and that which remaineth of it until the morning ye shall burn with fire.  ¹¹  And thus shall ye eat it; with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and ye shall eat it in haste: it is the LORD�S passover.  ¹²  For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods  of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the LORD.  ¹³  And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy  you, when I smite the land of Egypt.  ¹⁴  And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall keep it a feast to the LORD throughout your generations; ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance for ever.  ¹⁵  Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread; even the first day ye shall put away leaven out of your houses: for whosoever eateth leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel.  ¹⁶  And in the first day there shall be an holy convocation, and in the seventh day there shall be an holy convocation to you; no manner of work shall be done in them, save that which every man  must eat, that only may be done of you.  ¹⁷  And ye shall observe the feast of unleavened bread; for in this selfsame day have I brought your armies out of the land of Egypt: therefore shall ye observe this day in your generations by an ordinance for ever.  ¹⁸  In the first month , on the fourteenth day of the month at even, ye shall eat unleavened bread, until the one and twentieth day of the month at even.  ¹⁹  Seven days shall there be no leaven found in your houses: for whosoever eateth that which is leavened, even that soul shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he be a stranger, or born in the land.  ²⁰  Ye shall eat nothing leavened; in all your habitations shall ye eat unleavened bread. ²¹  Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said unto them, Draw out and take you a lamb  according to your families, and kill the passover.  ²²  And ye shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the bason, and strike the lintel and the two side posts with the blood that is in the bason; and none of you shall go out at the door of his house until the morning.  ²³  For the LORD will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side posts, the LORD will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite you.  ²⁴  And ye shall observe this thing for an ordinance to thee and to thy sons for ever.  ²⁵  And it shall come to pass, when ye be come to the land which the LORD will give you, according as he hath promised, that ye shall keep this service.  ²⁶  And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say unto you, What mean ye by this service?  ²⁷  That ye shall say, It is the sacrifice of the LORD�S passover, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he smote the Egyptians, and delivered our houses. And the people bowed the head and worshipped.  ²⁸  And the children of Israel went away, and did as the LORD had commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they. ²⁹  And it came to pass, that at midnight the LORD smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto the firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon; and all the firstborn of cattle.  ³⁰  And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and all his servants, and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt; for there was not a house where there was not one dead.  ³¹  And he called for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, Rise up, and get you forth from among my people, both ye and the children of Israel; and go, serve the LORD, as ye have said.  ³²  Also take your flocks and your herds, as ye have said, and be gone; and bless me also.  ³³  And the Egyptians were urgent upon the people, that they might send them out of the land in haste; for they said, We be all dead men.  ³⁴  And the people took their dough before it was leavened, their kneadingtroughs  being bound up in their clothes upon their shoulders.  ³⁵  And the children of Israel did according to the word of Moses; and they borrowed of the Egyptians jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment:  ³⁶  And the LORD gave the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they lent unto them such things as they required . And they spoiled the Egyptians. ³⁷  And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand on foot that were men, beside children.  ³⁸  And a mixed   multitude went up also with them; and flocks, and herds, even very much cattle.  ³⁹  And they baked unleavened cakes of the dough which they brought forth out of Egypt, for it was not leavened; because they were thrust out of Egypt, and could not tarry, neither had they prepared for themselves any victual.  ⁴⁰  Now the sojourning of the children of Israel, who dwelt in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years.  ⁴¹  And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years, even the selfsame day it came to pass, that all the hosts of the LORD went out from the land of Egypt.  ⁴²  It is a night  to be much observed unto the LORD for bringing them out from the land of Egypt: this is that night of the LORD to be observed of all the children of Israel in their generations. ⁴³  And the LORD said unto Moses and Aaron, This is the ordinance of the passover: There shall no stranger eat thereof:  ⁴⁴  But every man�s servant that is bought for money, when thou hast circumcised him, then shall he eat thereof.  ⁴⁵  A foreigner and an hired servant shall not eat thereof.  ⁴⁶  In one house shall it be eaten; thou shalt not carry forth ought of the flesh abroad out of the house; neither shall ye break a bone thereof. 

Psalms 34:20

20  He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken.

John 6:31-35

31  Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.  ³²  Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven.  ³³  For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.  ³⁴  Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread.  ³⁵  And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.

John 6:45-58

45  It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me.  ⁴⁶  Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father.  ⁴⁷  Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.  ⁴⁸  I am that bread of life.  ⁴⁹  Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead.  ⁵⁰  This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.  ⁵¹  I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.  ⁵²  The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?  ⁵³  Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.  ⁵⁴  Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.  ⁵⁵  For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.  ⁵⁶  He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.  ⁵⁷ As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me. ⁵⁸ This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever.

John 6:61-69

61  When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it, he said unto them, Doth this offend  you?  ⁶²  What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before?  ⁶³  It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.  ⁶⁴  But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him.  ⁶⁵  And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father.  ⁶⁶  From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.  ⁶⁷  Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away?  ⁶⁸  Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.  ⁶⁹  And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God.

Matthew 26:1-31

1  And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these sayings, he said unto his disciples,  ²  Ye know that after two days is the feast of the passover, and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified.  ³  Then assembled together the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders of the people, unto the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas,  ⁴  And consulted that they might take Jesus by subtilty, and kill him.  ⁵  But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar among the people.  ⁶  Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,  ⁷  There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at meat.  ⁸  But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste?  ⁹  For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor.  ¹⁰  When Jesus understood it, he said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me.  ¹¹  For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always.  ¹²  For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she did it for my burial.  ¹³  Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her.  ¹⁴  Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went unto the chief priests,  ¹⁵  And said unto them, What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver.  ¹⁶  And from that time he sought opportunity to betray him.  ¹⁷  Now the first day of the feast of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the passover?  ¹⁸  And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and say unto him, The Master saith, My time is at hand; I will keep the passover at thy house with my disciples.  ¹⁹  And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them; and they made ready the passover.  ²⁰  Now when the even was come, he sat down with the twelve.  ²¹  And as they did eat, he said, Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me.  ²²  And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one of them to say unto him, Lord, is it I?  ²³  And he answered and said, He that dippeth his hand with me in the dish, the same shall betray me.  ²⁴  The Son of man goeth as it is written of him: but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been good for that man if he had not been born.  ²⁵  Then Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said, Master, is it I? He said unto him, Thou hast said.  ²⁶  And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body.  ²⁷  And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;  ²⁸  For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.  ²⁹  But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father�s kingdom.  ³⁰  And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives.  ³¹  Then saith Jesus unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad.

John 13:1-11

1  Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end.  ²  And supper being ended, the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon�s son, to betray him;  ³  Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he was come from God, and went to God;  ⁴  He riseth from supper, and laid aside his garments; and took a towel, and girded himself.  ⁵  After that he poureth water into a bason, and began to wash the disciples� feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded.  ⁶  Then cometh he to Simon Peter: and Peter saith  unto him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet?  ⁷  Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter.  ⁸  Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me.  ⁹  Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head.  ¹⁰  Jesus saith to him, He that is washed needeth not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean, but not all.  ¹¹  For he knew who should betray him; therefore said he, Ye are not all clean.

John 18: 1-14

1  When Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with his disciples over the brook Cedron, where was a garden, into the which he entered, and his disciples.  ²  And Judas also, which betrayed him, knew the place: for Jesus ofttimes resorted thither with his disciples.  ³  Judas then, having received a band of men and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns and torches and weapons.  ⁴  Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said unto them, Whom seek ye?  ⁵  They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I am he . And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them.  ⁶  As soon then as he had said unto them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground.  ⁷  Then asked he them again, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth.  ⁸  Jesus answered, I have told you that I am he : if therefore ye seek me, let these go their way:  ⁹  That the saying might be fulfilled, which he spake, Of them which thou gavest me have I lost none.  ¹⁰  Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it, and smote the high priest�s servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant�s name was Malchus.  ¹¹  Then said Jesus unto Peter, Put up thy sword into the sheath: the cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?  ¹²  Then the band and the captain and officers of the Jews took Jesus, and bound him,  ¹³  And led him away to Annas first; for he was father in law to Caiaphas, which was the high priest that same year. ¹⁴  Now Caiaphas was he, which gave counsel to the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.

John 18:19-23

19  The high priest then asked Jesus of his disciples, and of his doctrine.  ²⁰  Jesus answered him, I spake openly to the world; I ever taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither the Jews always resort; and in secret have I said nothing.  ²¹  Why askest thou me? ask them which heard me, what I have said unto them: behold, they know what I said.  ²²  And when he had thus spoken, one of the officers which stood by struck Jesus with the palm of his hand, saying, Answerest thou the high priest so?  ²³  Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil: but if well, why smitest thou me?

John 18:28

28 Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas unto the hall of judgment: and it was early; and they themselves went not into the judgment hall, lest they should be defiled; but that they might eat the Passover.

John 18:35-40

35 Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thine own nation and the chief priests have delivered thee unto me: what hast thou done? ³⁶ Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence. ³⁷ Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice. ³⁸ Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, I find in him no fault at all. ³⁹ But ye have a custom, that I should release unto you one at the passover: will ye therefore that I release unto you the King of the Jews? ⁴⁰ Then cried they all again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.

John 19

1 Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him. ² And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and they put on him a purple robe, ³ And said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they smote him with their hands. ⁴ Pilate therefore went forth again, and saith unto them, Behold, I bring him forth to you, that ye may know that I find no fault in him. ⁵ Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And Pilate saith unto them, Behold the man! ⁶ When the chief priests therefore and officers saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Take ye him, and crucify him: for I find no fault in him. ⁷ The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God. ⁸ When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he was the more afraid; ⁹ And went again into the judgment hall, and saith unto Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer. ¹⁰ Then saith Pilate unto him, Speakest thou not unto me? knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and have power to release thee? ¹¹ Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin. ¹² And from thenceforth Pilate sought to release him: but the Jews cried out, saying, If thou let this man go, thou art not Caesar�s friend: whosoever maketh himself a king speaketh against Caesar. ¹³ When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought Jesus forth, and sat down in the judgment seat in a place that is called the Pavement, but in the Hebrew, Gabbatha. ¹⁴ And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King! ¹⁵ But they cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar. ¹⁶ Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him away. ¹⁷ And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha: ¹⁸ Where they crucified him, and two other with him, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst. ¹⁹ And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS. ²⁰ This title then read many of the Jews: for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written in Hebrew, and Greek, and Latin. ²¹ Then said the chief priests of the Jews to Pilate, Write not, The King of the Jews; but that he said, I am King of the Jews. ²² Pilate answered, What I have written I have written. ²³ Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also his coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout.  ²⁴ They said therefore among themselves, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, They parted my raiment among them, and for my vesture they did cast lots. These things therefore the soldiers did. ²⁵ Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother�s sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene.  ²⁶ When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son! ²⁷ Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home. ²⁸ After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst. ²⁹ Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a spunge with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, and put it to his mouth. ³⁰ When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost. ³¹ The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath day was an high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away. ³² Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other which was crucified with him. ³³ But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs: ³⁴ But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water. ³⁵ And he that saw it bare record, and his record is true: and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye might believe. ³⁶ For these things were done, that the scripture should be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken. ³⁷ And again another scripture saith, They shall look on him whom they pierced. ³⁸ And after this Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate gave him leave. He came therefore, and took the body of Jesus. ³⁹ And there came also Nicodemus, which at the first came to Jesus by night, and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pound weight. ⁴⁰ Then took they the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen clothes with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury. ⁴¹ Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein was never man yet laid. ⁴² There laid they Jesus therefore because of the Jews� preparation day; for the sepulchre was nigh at hand.

Romans 5:8-9

8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. ⁹ Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.

Romans 5:18-21

18 Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.  ¹⁹ For as by one man�s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. ²⁰ Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound: ²¹ That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.

Hebrews 9:12

12 Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.

Hebrews 9:16-28

16 For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator.  ¹⁷ For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth. ¹⁸ Whereupon neither the first testament was dedicated without blood.  ¹⁹ For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book, and all the people,  ²⁰ Saying, This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you. ²¹ Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry. ²² And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission. ²³ It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. ²⁴ For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us: ²⁵ Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others; ²⁶ For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. ²⁷ And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: ²⁸ So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.

Hebrews 10:10-25

10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. ¹¹ And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: ¹² But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; ¹³ From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool. ¹⁴ For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified. ¹⁵ Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before, ¹⁶ This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them; ¹⁷ And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.  ¹⁸ Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin. ¹⁹ Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus,  ²⁰ By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;  ²¹ And having an high priest over the house of God; ²² Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. ²³ Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;) ²⁴ And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: ²⁵ Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

Matthew 16:5-12

5 And when his disciples were come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread. ⁶ Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees. ⁷ And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have taken no bread. ⁸ Which when Jesus perceived, he said unto them, O ye of little faith, why reason ye among yourselves, because ye have brought no bread? ⁹ Do ye not yet understand, neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up? ¹⁰ Neither the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets ye took up? ¹¹ How is it that ye do not understand that I spake it not to you concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees? ¹² Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.

1 Corinthians 3:9-17

9 For we are labourers together with God: ye are God�s husbandry, ye are God�s building.  ¹⁰ According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. ¹¹ For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. ¹² Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; ¹³ Every man�s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man�s work of what sort it is.  ¹⁴ If any man�s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. ¹⁵ If any man�s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire. ¹⁶ Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? ¹⁷ If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.

1 Corinthians 5:6-8

6 Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump? ⁷ Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:  ⁸ Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

You are not to just put away the leavening out of your house that is physical, but you are to put away the leavening out of your mind and spirit; which is the teaching of this world system, especially the religious teaching of the church world. Then you need to make a commitment to Yahweh to walk in newness of mind and to follow His teachings through His Word, and to put away that old man of sin. Keep His Appointed Feast Days.

1 Peter 1:18-20

18 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; ¹⁹ But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: ²⁰ Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,

1 Corinthians 10:15-18

15 I speak as to wise men; judge ye what I say. ¹⁶ The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ? ¹⁷ For we being many are one bread, and one body: for we are all partakers of that one bread. ¹⁸ Behold Israel after the flesh: are not they which eat of the sacrifices partakers of the altar?

Daniel 7:22

22 Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom.

Daniel 7:27

27 And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him.

Daniel 7:9

9 I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire.

(The saints of the most high shall take the Kingdom and possess the Kingdom forever and even forever.) I hope that you have enjoyed this Bible study and have come to a better understanding of who we are (Israel) and where we stand today as the sons and daughters of our Father; Yahweh. May the King of Israel bless each of His children and receive you back unto Himself and keep you in His love forever more.
