In the last blog Christ Ahnsahnghong show us how the prophecy of the Old Testament is fulfilled through Jesus Christ when He celebrated the Passover of the New Covenant. Then after the Israelites celebrated the Passover in Egypt and went into the desert what happened?
Number 9:1-5 "The LORD spoke to Moses in the Desert of Sinai in the first month of the second year after they came out of Egypt. He said,"Have the Israelites celebrate the Passover at the appointed time. Celebrate it at the appointed time, at twilight on the fourteenth day of this month, in accordance with all its rules and regulations."So Moses told the Israelites to celebrate the Passover, and they did so in the Desert of Sinai at twilight on the fourteenth day of the first month. The Israelites did everything just as the LORD commanded Moses."
The Israelites celebrated the Passover at the appointed time on the 1st month, 14 day at twilight as God commanded them.
How about in the New Testament, did the disciples continue celebrating the Passover after Jesus ascended to heaven?
1 Corinthians 11:23-27 "For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, "This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me." 25In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me." For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes. Therefore, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord."Apostle Paul around 10 years after Christ ascended to heaven celebrated also the Passover. Everything he taught to the disciples was exactly what Jesus taught. He never added or took words away, he even said that if you celebrate the Passover in an unworthy manner you are guilty of sinning against the body and blood of Christ. So, the Passover was still being celebrated on the 14 day of the 1st month at twilight, without changing anything of what Jesus taught.
As you can see, in the same way the Israelites celebrated the Passover after they came out of Egypt in the desert, the apostles also celebrated the passover after Jesus death. Prophecy fulfilled!
What else happened in the Old Testament? Did the Israelites continue celebrating the Passover?
Let's see
to be continue..............
