| Dr. Erez Soref: The Hidden Story of Passover - Walking the Walls With Nehemiah | One For Israel | March 26, 2026
  • The passover story is not just remembering an event.
  • 00:00:04.083 --> 00:00:08.387
  • For the first time, the bible came alive to me.
  • 00:00:08.387 --> 00:00:11.156
  • And the question is,
  • 00:00:11.156 --> 00:00:13.258
  • Which lamb is isaiah referring to?
  • 00:00:13.258 --> 00:00:16.862
  • It's like god carved a message in eternity,
  • 00:00:16.862 --> 00:00:19.765
  • A message that history continues to live out.
  • 00:00:19.765 --> 00:00:23.268
  • And what the father did with israel,
  • 00:00:23.268 --> 00:00:25.737
  • This is exactly what he sent his son to do for all of us.
  • 00:00:25.737 --> 00:00:30.976
  • I am dr. erez soref.
  • 00:00:31.443 --> 00:00:33.278
  • I was born and raised in the heart of israel,
  • 00:00:33.278 --> 00:00:36.081
  • But i never heard the gospel message
  • 00:00:36.081 --> 00:00:38.517
  • Until on a journey abroad,
  • 00:00:38.517 --> 00:00:40.719
  • My eyes were opened to the jewish messiah.
  • 00:00:40.719 --> 00:00:43.989
  • From that point,
  • 00:00:43.989 --> 00:00:45.357
  • My life has been dedicated
  • 00:00:45.357 --> 00:00:47.392
  • To bringing this gospel back to my people israel,
  • 00:00:47.392 --> 00:00:50.796
  • Equipping them to reach israel
  • 00:00:50.796 --> 00:00:53.132
  • And the world.
  • 00:00:53.132 --> 00:00:54.433
  • Together, as jews and gentiles,
  • 00:00:54.433 --> 00:00:56.902
  • We are one in messiah, one for israel.
  • 00:00:56.902 --> 00:01:18.891
  • Passover, or pesach,
  • 00:01:19.358 --> 00:01:21.593
  • Is one of the most important holidays here in israel,
  • 00:01:21.593 --> 00:01:24.930
  • And for jewish people all over the world.
  • 00:01:24.930 --> 00:01:27.599
  • This is the time when families gather together
  • 00:01:27.599 --> 00:01:30.569
  • And remember how god redeemed us from slavery in egypt.
  • 00:01:30.569 --> 00:01:34.339
  • We sing songs, act out the story,
  • 00:01:34.339 --> 00:01:37.075
  • And read scriptures,
  • 00:01:37.075 --> 00:01:38.777
  • All over a meal that goes long into the night.
  • 00:01:38.777 --> 00:01:41.613
  • But the passover story
  • 00:01:42.114 --> 00:01:43.882
  • Is not just remembering an event.
  • 00:01:43.882 --> 00:01:46.852
  • It points to a greater fulfillment,
  • 00:01:46.852 --> 00:01:49.855
  • A greater deliverance,
  • 00:01:49.855 --> 00:01:51.590
  • Brought about by someone even greater than moses.
  • 00:01:51.590 --> 00:01:55.227
  • And surprisingly, the passover story
  • 00:01:55.994 --> 00:01:59.264
  • Also has roots that branch back before the exodus event.
  • 00:01:59.264 --> 00:02:04.336
  • It's like god carved a message in eternity,
  • 00:02:04.336 --> 00:02:07.806
  • A message that history continues to live out,
  • 00:02:07.806 --> 00:02:11.677
  • A love letter, wrapped in our calendar,
  • 00:02:11.677 --> 00:02:14.746
  • Where he continues to reveal more of his plan
  • 00:02:14.746 --> 00:02:17.849
  • For my people and the world.
  • 00:02:17.849 --> 00:02:20.185
  • Scripture tells us to remember the passover each year,
  • 00:02:20.185 --> 00:02:24.356
  • So we celebrate with unleavened bread,
  • 00:02:24.356 --> 00:02:26.925
  • Matzah, with bitter herbs,
  • 00:02:26.925 --> 00:02:29.595
  • With four cups of wine, and a great meal.
  • 00:02:29.595 --> 00:02:38.237
  • Wait, we forgot the most important part of passover.
  • 00:02:39.304 --> 00:02:42.774
  • Where's the lamb?
  • 00:02:42.774 --> 00:02:44.643
  • It's the same thing isaac asked his father.
  • 00:02:44.643 --> 00:02:47.579
  • Remember genesis 22?
  • 00:02:47.579 --> 00:02:49.615
  • God asked abraham to take his only beloved son
  • 00:02:49.615 --> 00:02:52.517
  • On mount moriah, exactly the same place
  • 00:02:52.517 --> 00:02:54.953
  • The temple was to be built on.
  • 00:02:54.953 --> 00:02:56.989
  • It might seem like the story
  • 00:02:56.989 --> 00:02:58.423
  • Of abraham's binding of isaac
  • 00:02:58.423 --> 00:03:00.125
  • Is out of place in a passover narrative.
  • 00:03:00.125 --> 00:03:02.728
  • But our forefathers had a different perspective.
  • 00:03:02.728 --> 00:03:05.831
  • The book of jubilees,
  • 00:03:05.831 --> 00:03:07.399
  • A jewish book written in the 2nd century bc,
  • 00:03:07.399 --> 00:03:10.535
  • Traces this pivotal event to the day of passover.
  • 00:03:10.535 --> 00:03:14.106
  • In fact, this book attributes
  • 00:03:14.106 --> 00:03:15.974
  • Much of the memorial of passover day,
  • 00:03:15.974 --> 00:03:18.010
  • Not to the exodus, but to the story
  • 00:03:18.010 --> 00:03:20.479
  • Of abraham and isaac.
  • 00:03:20.479 --> 00:03:22.080
  • Not only that,
  • 00:03:22.080 --> 00:03:23.448
  • The great sages perceived great messianic significance
  • 00:03:23.448 --> 00:03:26.184
  • In abraham and isaac's great test.
  • 00:03:26.184 --> 00:03:28.453
  • As abraham took the donkey in verse 3,
  • 00:03:28.453 --> 00:03:30.989
  • Malbim, which was a jewish commentator
  • 00:03:30.989 --> 00:03:33.258
  • From the 19th century,
  • 00:03:33.258 --> 00:03:34.860
  • Insisted that this donkey was prepared for the messiah.
  • 00:03:34.860 --> 00:03:38.363
  • To prove this point, the zohar
  • 00:03:38.363 --> 00:03:40.165
  • Even quotes zechariah 9:9
  • 00:03:40.165 --> 00:03:42.267
  • In reference to this verse.
  • 00:03:42.267 --> 00:03:44.002
  • "your king will come lowly, riding on the donkey."
  • 00:03:44.002 --> 00:03:47.105
  • Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering
  • 00:03:47.105 --> 00:03:49.508
  • And placed it on his son isaac,
  • 00:03:49.508 --> 00:03:51.343
  • And he himself carried the fire and the knife.
  • 00:03:51.343 --> 00:03:54.413
  • It's here in this section
  • 00:03:54.413 --> 00:03:55.747
  • That the rabbis see something very interesting.
  • 00:03:55.747 --> 00:03:58.450
  • They described in this scene that isaac
  • 00:03:58.450 --> 00:04:00.419
  • Was like a man carrying his cross.
  • 00:04:00.419 --> 00:04:03.555
  • In verse 7, isaac was asking his father the same question
  • 00:04:03.555 --> 00:04:06.925
  • We asked in the beginning.
  • 00:04:06.925 --> 00:04:08.427
  • He said: "abba, where is the lamb?"
  • 00:04:08.427 --> 00:04:10.862
  • Abraham responded that god will reveal the lamb.
  • 00:04:10.862 --> 00:04:14.766
  • As we read in verse 9,
  • 00:04:15.267 --> 00:04:17.069
  • Abraham is tying isaac to the altar.
  • 00:04:17.069 --> 00:04:19.971
  • In the rabbinic commentary, midrash tanchuma,
  • 00:04:19.971 --> 00:04:23.141
  • They said:
  • 00:04:23.141 --> 00:04:24.509
  • "isaac asked his father to bind him tightly,
  • 00:04:24.509 --> 00:04:28.146
  • "so he wouldn't break a bone,
  • 00:04:28.146 --> 00:04:29.848
  • "so he would be a fit sacrifice
  • 00:04:29.848 --> 00:04:31.750
  • "for our people."
  • 00:04:31.750 --> 00:04:33.218
  • This is a clear allusion to exodus 12:46,
  • 00:04:33.218 --> 00:04:36.955
  • Where god commands
  • 00:04:36.955 --> 00:04:38.490
  • Not the bone of the passover lamb could be broken.
  • 00:04:38.490 --> 00:04:41.860
  • All of this culminates with god's intervention.
  • 00:04:41.860 --> 00:04:44.930
  • According to rabbinic commentary
  • 00:04:44.930 --> 00:04:46.832
  • And the jewish book of jubilees,
  • 00:04:46.832 --> 00:04:48.567
  • The one sent to stop abraham was, and i quote,
  • 00:04:48.567 --> 00:04:52.671
  • Yeshua, the angel of his face.
  • 00:04:52.671 --> 00:04:55.741
  • This wonderful angel, according to the book,
  • 00:04:55.741 --> 00:04:58.210
  • Stopped abraham from sacrificing his son
  • 00:04:58.210 --> 00:05:00.812
  • And provided a ram in his stead.
  • 00:05:00.812 --> 00:05:03.882
  • But we're still looking for the lamb.
  • 00:05:03.882 --> 00:05:05.951
  • It's clear that the sages of old
  • 00:05:05.951 --> 00:05:07.486
  • Saw this akedah passage as a reference
  • 00:05:07.486 --> 00:05:09.621
  • To the story and sacrifice of the passover lamb.
  • 00:05:09.621 --> 00:05:12.691
  • As the ram took the place of isaac,
  • 00:05:12.691 --> 00:05:14.826
  • The blood of the lamb redeemed the firstborn in egypt.
  • 00:05:14.826 --> 00:05:17.929
  • God saw the blood of the passover lamb
  • 00:05:17.929 --> 00:05:20.198
  • And saved israel's firstborn.
  • 00:05:20.198 --> 00:05:22.567
  • The passover lamb may have been the final blow
  • 00:05:22.567 --> 00:05:25.470
  • That released our people from the clutches of pharaoh.
  • 00:05:25.470 --> 00:05:28.707
  • But as we read on the promised lamb of the messiah,
  • 00:05:28.707 --> 00:05:32.110
  • As isaiah 53 describes,
  • 00:05:32.110 --> 00:05:33.879
  • Would do more than release us from egypt,
  • 00:05:33.879 --> 00:05:36.481
  • But deliver us from sin and death.
  • 00:05:36.481 --> 00:05:39.418
  • Even though god had delivered our people physically,
  • 00:05:39.418 --> 00:05:43.221
  • We were still in need of a deeper deliverance.
  • 00:05:43.221 --> 00:05:46.625
  • Prophets like isaiah spoke of another lamb,
  • 00:05:46.625 --> 00:05:50.328
  • A new exodus, a greater deliverance,
  • 00:05:50.328 --> 00:05:53.565
  • Not to take us out of egypt,
  • 00:05:53.565 --> 00:05:55.834
  • But a lamb to take away our sin.
  • 00:05:55.834 --> 00:05:59.070
  • But this all sounds a bit familiar, right?
  • 00:05:59.070 --> 00:06:01.907
  • It was first john the baptist that proclaimed
  • 00:06:01.907 --> 00:06:04.576
  • This truth plainly.
  • 00:06:04.576 --> 00:06:06.244
  • He saw yeshua as a fulfillment of this promise,
  • 00:06:06.244 --> 00:06:09.247
  • As he shouts out:
  • 00:06:09.247 --> 00:06:15.353
  • Just as abraham saddled his donkey
  • 00:06:15.353 --> 00:06:17.456
  • On his way to mount moriah,
  • 00:06:17.456 --> 00:06:19.191
  • Yeshua entered jerusalem riding on a donkey.
  • 00:06:19.191 --> 00:06:22.294
  • Like the rabbis saw with abraham,
  • 00:06:22.294 --> 00:06:24.362
  • Yeshua's disciples also saw the fulfillment
  • 00:06:24.362 --> 00:06:26.731
  • Of zechariah 9:9, as matthew 21 says:
  • 00:06:26.731 --> 00:06:43.014
  • Just as isaac carried the wood
  • 00:06:43.682 --> 00:06:45.617
  • That the rabbis surprisingly compared to isaac's cross,
  • 00:06:45.617 --> 00:06:48.820
  • So yeshua carried the wooden cross
  • 00:06:48.820 --> 00:06:51.156
  • Ascending the hill,
  • 00:06:51.156 --> 00:06:52.557
  • Just like isaac in the city of jerusalem.
  • 00:06:52.557 --> 00:06:55.494
  • It was on the same date of passover,
  • 00:06:55.494 --> 00:06:57.963
  • Riding on a donkey, carrying the cross
  • 00:06:57.963 --> 00:07:00.565
  • In the same mountain isaac and abraham ascended,
  • 00:07:00.565 --> 00:07:03.635
  • That yeshua himself completed this sacrifice.
  • 00:07:03.635 --> 00:07:07.772
  • Yeshua, many times referred to
  • 00:07:07.772 --> 00:07:09.941
  • As the angel of the lord, didn't stop
  • 00:07:09.941 --> 00:07:12.277
  • The spear that pierced his side.
  • 00:07:12.277 --> 00:07:15.013
  • Driven by his love for us, he became the holy sacrifice,
  • 00:07:15.013 --> 00:07:19.618
  • And as isaiah prophesied, bore the sins of many.
  • 00:07:19.618 --> 00:07:23.755
  • And just as exodus 12:46 states,
  • 00:07:23.755 --> 00:07:27.225
  • So the eyewitnesses state,
  • 00:07:27.225 --> 00:07:29.160
  • That not a bone of his was broken on the cross.
  • 00:07:29.160 --> 00:07:32.330
  • He was a fit sacrifice for the sins of our people.
  • 00:07:32.330 --> 00:07:35.967
  • In the exodus story,
  • 00:07:36.434 --> 00:07:38.036
  • It's clear that god took israel out of egypt,
  • 00:07:38.036 --> 00:07:40.972
  • But he didn't take egypt, the sin,
  • 00:07:40.972 --> 00:07:43.341
  • Out of our forefathers' hearts.
  • 00:07:43.341 --> 00:07:45.644
  • As history goes on, we see clearly
  • 00:07:45.644 --> 00:07:48.079
  • There needed to be a greater redemption to come.
  • 00:07:48.079 --> 00:07:50.782
  • The sacrificed lamb of exodus,
  • 00:07:50.782 --> 00:07:52.884
  • And the sacrifice of bulls and goats,
  • 00:07:52.884 --> 00:07:55.153
  • Couldn't deliver and didn't take
  • 00:07:55.153 --> 00:07:56.788
  • The sins of israel,
  • 00:07:56.788 --> 00:07:58.056
  • Let alone the sins of the world.
  • 00:07:58.056 --> 00:07:59.958
  • That's why our prophets,
  • 00:07:59.958 --> 00:08:01.593
  • Like isaiah, talked about a new exodus,
  • 00:08:01.593 --> 00:08:04.629
  • A second moses.
  • 00:08:04.629 --> 00:08:05.964
  • And this is where the lamb shows up again.
  • 00:08:05.964 --> 00:08:09.200
  • So who has believed our report?
  • 00:08:09.200 --> 00:08:11.636
  • As isaiah states so clearly,
  • 00:08:11.636 --> 00:08:13.838
  • This messiah would be rejected,
  • 00:08:13.838 --> 00:08:16.141
  • Just like moses, just like david,
  • 00:08:16.141 --> 00:08:18.777
  • Just like joseph.
  • 00:08:18.777 --> 00:08:20.312
  • But a remnant would have eyes to see.
  • 00:08:20.312 --> 00:08:33.091
  • The key point here is, the text clearly says
  • 00:08:34.025 --> 00:08:36.661
  • In hebrew "like the lamb."
  • 00:08:36.661 --> 00:08:38.863
  • Isaiah is referring to the passover lamb,
  • 00:08:38.863 --> 00:08:41.433
  • As he describes the suffering servant.
  • 00:08:41.433 --> 00:08:44.336
  • So is the lamb at your table this passover?
  • 00:08:44.336 --> 00:08:47.739
  • At the end of our passover seder in every home,
  • 00:08:47.739 --> 00:08:50.809
  • Our kids run to the door to look for elijah,
  • 00:08:50.809 --> 00:08:53.712
  • The forerunner of the messiah.
  • 00:08:53.712 --> 00:08:55.780
  • But this year, instead of looking for elijah,
  • 00:08:55.780 --> 00:08:58.350
  • Open your heart to the lamb of god,
  • 00:08:58.350 --> 00:09:00.719
  • Yeshua the messiah.
  • 00:09:00.719 --> 00:09:02.420
  • As he said:
  • 00:09:02.420 --> 00:09:13.031
  • Will you open the door?
  • 00:09:13.531 --> 00:09:15.667
  • Will you allow the lamb to deliver you?
  • 00:09:15.667 --> 00:09:18.903
  • He spilled his blood so precious
  • 00:09:18.903 --> 00:09:21.439
  • To pay for your freedom.
  • 00:09:21.439 --> 00:09:23.908
  • Trust him. follow him.
  • 00:09:23.908 --> 00:09:26.778
  • The lamb of god is the lion of judah.
  • 00:09:26.778 --> 00:09:29.481
  • He has become king and lord.
  • 00:09:29.481 --> 00:09:31.349
  • In the book of revelation,
  • 00:09:31.916 --> 00:09:33.618
  • John recorded the song he heard heaven sing:
  • 00:09:33.618 --> 00:09:46.164
  • "worthy is the lamb."
  • 00:09:46.665 --> 00:09:51.999
  • "worthy is the lamb."
  • 00:09:51.999 --> 00:09:57.013
  • On passover, we remember our deliverance from egypt
  • 00:09:58.014 --> 00:10:01.918
  • And we look forward to god's deeper deliverance to come.
  • 00:10:01.918 --> 00:10:06.222
  • Thousands of years ago god paid for our redemption
  • 00:10:06.222 --> 00:10:09.626
  • By the blood of a lamb.
  • 00:10:09.626 --> 00:10:11.695
  • And now, the true lamb of god
  • 00:10:11.695 --> 00:10:14.064
  • Has been revealed.
  • 00:10:14.064 --> 00:10:15.965
  • He has redeemed us from the slavery of sin
  • 00:10:15.965 --> 00:10:19.069
  • By his blood.
  • 00:10:19.069 --> 00:10:20.070
  • John the baptist was a cousin of yeshua,
  • 00:10:20.904 --> 00:10:24.340
  • A preacher and prophet that began his ministry before him,
  • 00:10:24.340 --> 00:10:28.645
  • Preparing the way for the coming messiah.
  • 00:10:28.645 --> 00:10:31.448
  • John grew up his whole life knowing yeshua
  • 00:10:32.315 --> 00:10:34.918
  • As a close relative.
  • 00:10:34.918 --> 00:10:36.720
  • Maybe their mothers had told them how their callings
  • 00:10:36.720 --> 00:10:40.557
  • And even their births were connected.
  • 00:10:40.557 --> 00:10:43.593
  • But one day, while john was preaching,
  • 00:10:43.593 --> 00:10:46.930
  • Something suddenly clicked.
  • 00:10:46.930 --> 00:10:49.265
  • A revealing, a connection took place.
  • 00:10:49.265 --> 00:10:52.969
  • God opened john's eyes
  • 00:10:52.969 --> 00:10:54.871
  • And he realized something for the first time.
  • 00:10:54.871 --> 00:10:58.007
  • His cousin yeshua
  • 00:10:58.007 --> 00:10:59.709
  • Was the deliverance israel was looking for,
  • 00:10:59.709 --> 00:11:02.679
  • The fulfillment of god's plan.
  • 00:11:02.679 --> 00:11:05.215
  • He saw yeshua with new eyes and declared:
  • 00:11:05.215 --> 00:11:08.451
  • "behold, the lamb that takes away the sins of the world."
  • 00:11:08.451 --> 00:11:12.789
  • The veil came off.
  • 00:11:12.789 --> 00:11:15.125
  • Yeshua was revealed to him as the messiah,
  • 00:11:15.125 --> 00:11:17.994
  • The lamb of god.
  • 00:11:17.994 --> 00:11:19.496
  • Today, we are seeing the veil coming off
  • 00:11:19.496 --> 00:11:22.799
  • For many of my people.
  • 00:11:22.799 --> 00:11:24.534
  • They are seeing yeshua as he really is.
  • 00:11:24.534 --> 00:11:27.437
  • Not just a christian icon,
  • 00:11:27.437 --> 00:11:29.439
  • But the true deliverer for the jewish people,
  • 00:11:29.439 --> 00:11:32.709
  • The passover lamb.
  • 00:11:32.709 --> 00:11:34.878
  • When i was nine years old,
  • 00:11:34.878 --> 00:11:36.880
  • We moved to the united states from jerusalem.
  • 00:11:36.880 --> 00:11:39.949
  • And the number one song in the country was anne marie,
  • 00:11:39.949 --> 00:11:43.086
  • One day at a time, sweet jesus.
  • 00:11:43.086 --> 00:11:45.455
  • And i'll never forget,
  • 00:11:45.455 --> 00:11:46.623
  • My mom comes into the car and i'm like,
  • 00:11:46.623 --> 00:11:48.424
  • "one day at a time,
  • 00:11:48.424 --> 00:11:51.561
  • "sweet jesus."
  • 00:11:51.561 --> 00:11:53.363
  • My mom says: "what did you say?"
  • 00:11:53.363 --> 00:11:56.599
  • And i'm singing the song. she's like,
  • 00:11:56.599 --> 00:11:59.702
  • "we don't say jesus."
  • 00:12:00.203 --> 00:12:03.373
  • "but why?"
  • 00:12:03.673 --> 00:12:04.774
  • In hebrew, she says: "it's yeshua."
  • 00:12:04.774 --> 00:12:07.010
  • I grew up not being able to say that name.
  • 00:12:07.010 --> 00:12:10.480
  • My son at the age of five was diagnosed with asperger's.
  • 00:12:10.480 --> 00:12:15.318
  • He was not verbal. he was very distant.
  • 00:12:15.318 --> 00:12:20.590
  • He was the cause of me going back to school
  • 00:12:20.590 --> 00:12:23.159
  • And becoming a special education teacher.
  • 00:12:23.159 --> 00:12:25.395
  • I knew a lot about science.
  • 00:12:25.395 --> 00:12:26.663
  • I studied a lot about everything.
  • 00:12:26.663 --> 00:12:29.599
  • But i really never even opened the bible.
  • 00:12:29.599 --> 00:12:33.369
  • Ironically, i was teaching hebrew school as a side job.
  • 00:12:33.369 --> 00:12:38.174
  • Teaching the prayers, teaching the liturgy.
  • 00:12:38.174 --> 00:12:40.310
  • I mean, i knew everything.
  • 00:12:40.310 --> 00:12:42.245
  • I had seen my father pray the prayers
  • 00:12:42.245 --> 00:12:45.048
  • And put on the tallit.
  • 00:12:45.048 --> 00:12:46.583
  • And i know all of the rhetoric
  • 00:12:46.583 --> 00:12:49.986
  • And everything that, you know,
  • 00:12:49.986 --> 00:12:51.955
  • Goes along with being jewish.
  • 00:12:51.955 --> 00:12:54.757
  • But i didn't feel any connection to god.
  • 00:12:54.757 --> 00:12:57.260
  • I would sit at synagogue
  • 00:12:57.260 --> 00:12:59.395
  • And i tried to feel something.
  • 00:12:59.395 --> 00:13:00.897
  • I tried to feel god.
  • 00:13:00.897 --> 00:13:02.899
  • And it wasn't. it was like the chagall
  • 00:13:02.899 --> 00:13:04.667
  • Stained glass windows
  • 00:13:04.667 --> 00:13:06.569
  • And everybody around me
  • 00:13:06.569 --> 00:13:08.171
  • And the bima and the ark
  • 00:13:08.171 --> 00:13:09.973
  • And the torah being taken out.
  • 00:13:09.973 --> 00:13:12.242
  • And i felt, i remember feeling nothing.
  • 00:13:12.242 --> 00:13:16.479
  • At my school, i worked at an after-school program
  • 00:13:17.480 --> 00:13:20.483
  • And there was a woman
  • 00:13:20.984 --> 00:13:22.585
  • That had written a book called
  • 00:13:23.253 --> 00:13:25.321
  • "jesus, can i talk to you?"
  • 00:13:25.321 --> 00:13:27.156
  • So she said to me: "i don't have money
  • 00:13:27.156 --> 00:13:28.658
  • "to hire an editor.
  • 00:13:28.658 --> 00:13:29.726
  • "would you help me edit my book?"
  • 00:13:29.726 --> 00:13:31.160
  • And i said: "well, i don't know anything about jesus."
  • 00:13:31.160 --> 00:13:33.863
  • So i do know about writing. i know about english.
  • 00:13:33.863 --> 00:13:36.065
  • I know about commas. i know about semicolons.
  • 00:13:36.065 --> 00:13:38.601
  • I just don't know anything about jesus.
  • 00:13:38.601 --> 00:13:40.703
  • It was a lot of stuff from the old testament.
  • 00:13:40.703 --> 00:13:42.605
  • And i'm like... and i would see things like, you know,
  • 00:13:42.605 --> 00:13:46.576
  • This is from ecclesiastes
  • 00:13:46.576 --> 00:13:48.478
  • Or this is from, you know, samuel or kings.
  • 00:13:48.478 --> 00:13:50.813
  • And i was like, these are our books?
  • 00:13:50.813 --> 00:13:53.383
  • This came from the jewish bible?
  • 00:13:53.383 --> 00:13:55.852
  • I never read the bible.
  • 00:13:55.852 --> 00:13:57.820
  • I read about the fact that we would be pierced.
  • 00:13:57.820 --> 00:14:01.724
  • And that's exactly what happened to jesus.
  • 00:14:01.724 --> 00:14:04.827
  • And for the first time, the bible came alive to me.
  • 00:14:04.827 --> 00:14:08.064
  • And it's isaiah 53.
  • 00:14:08.064 --> 00:14:09.766
  • And, you know, i said, how can you miss this?
  • 00:14:09.766 --> 00:14:12.635
  • It's like right there.
  • 00:14:12.635 --> 00:14:13.903
  • It's right there in the scripture,
  • 00:14:13.903 --> 00:14:16.205
  • In our book.
  • 00:14:16.205 --> 00:14:18.274
  • Saying the prayer
  • 00:14:18.274 --> 00:14:20.143
  • And asking for him to come into my life.
  • 00:14:20.143 --> 00:14:23.246
  • And i accepted him as my savior.
  • 00:14:23.246 --> 00:14:26.215
  • Even though i just became a believer
  • 00:14:26.215 --> 00:14:29.953
  • In the jewish messiah, but in jesus,
  • 00:14:29.953 --> 00:14:32.722
  • Whose name i can't even say
  • 00:14:32.722 --> 00:14:34.023
  • At the private jewish school.
  • 00:14:34.023 --> 00:14:35.792
  • Whoa, this is too weird.
  • 00:14:35.792 --> 00:14:37.160
  • The grandson of the head of our judaics program.
  • 00:14:37.160 --> 00:14:40.263
  • And the first year that he was there,
  • 00:14:40.263 --> 00:14:41.798
  • He, you know, would talk to me and i would say:
  • 00:14:41.798 --> 00:14:45.301
  • "oh, it's time to go to tefillah.
  • 00:14:45.301 --> 00:14:46.769
  • "you know, students were required to go to prayer
  • 00:14:46.769 --> 00:14:48.571
  • "and you must go to tefillah."
  • 00:14:48.571 --> 00:14:50.073
  • He's like: "i hate tefillah."
  • 00:14:50.073 --> 00:14:51.107
  • I'm like: "your grandfather
  • 00:14:51.107 --> 00:14:52.275
  • "is the head of the judaics program
  • 00:14:52.275 --> 00:14:53.543
  • "of the school."
  • 00:14:53.543 --> 00:14:54.677
  • And so he comes up and he puts a kippah
  • 00:14:54.677 --> 00:14:56.312
  • On my head and he's like: "you're like a rabbi."
  • 00:14:56.312 --> 00:14:59.916
  • Because rabbi in hebrew means teacher.
  • 00:14:59.916 --> 00:15:02.819
  • He goes: "i could just see it.
  • 00:15:02.819 --> 00:15:04.187
  • "one day you're going to become hasidic."
  • 00:15:04.187 --> 00:15:05.722
  • And i said: "no, no, no, joshua.
  • 00:15:05.722 --> 00:15:08.591
  • "totally the furthest thing i'm going to become."
  • 00:15:08.591 --> 00:15:11.294
  • He says to me, he goes: "i don't understand you.
  • 00:15:11.294 --> 00:15:13.363
  • "what kind... like, do you keep shabbat?
  • 00:15:13.363 --> 00:15:16.065
  • "what kind of a jew are you?"
  • 00:15:16.065 --> 00:15:17.800
  • "what do you mean, what kind of a jew am i?"
  • 00:15:17.800 --> 00:15:20.036
  • And he goes:
  • 00:15:20.036 --> 00:15:21.304
  • "there's something different about you.
  • 00:15:21.304 --> 00:15:23.940
  • "i don't know what it is. there's something different
  • 00:15:23.940 --> 00:15:25.742
  • "about you."
  • 00:15:25.742 --> 00:15:26.709
  • And i said: "joshua, sit down.
  • 00:15:26.709 --> 00:15:28.378
  • "i really respect you.
  • 00:15:28.378 --> 00:15:30.046
  • "and i'm going to tell you what's different about me
  • 00:15:30.046 --> 00:15:34.550
  • "is that i believe that jesus is the messiah."
  • 00:15:34.550 --> 00:15:38.187
  • And his eyes got wide
  • 00:15:38.688 --> 00:15:40.123
  • And he stood up and he pointed at me.
  • 00:15:40.123 --> 00:15:41.924
  • He's like: "i knew it. i knew it!
  • 00:15:41.924 --> 00:15:43.559
  • "you're always talking about love and stuff."
  • 00:15:43.559 --> 00:15:46.329
  • And the students know.
  • 00:15:46.329 --> 00:15:48.264
  • They know, i can talk about god all day.
  • 00:15:48.264 --> 00:15:50.333
  • See, i couldn't do that in public school.
  • 00:15:50.333 --> 00:15:52.335
  • Public school, you can't talk about god.
  • 00:15:52.335 --> 00:15:54.237
  • But at a private jewish school,
  • 00:15:54.237 --> 00:15:55.471
  • I could talk about god all day.
  • 00:15:55.471 --> 00:15:57.306
  • And, you know, sometimes they'll go,
  • 00:15:57.306 --> 00:15:59.675
  • You know, they test me.
  • 00:15:59.675 --> 00:16:01.577
  • And sometimes i get really close
  • 00:16:01.577 --> 00:16:04.080
  • And they really question, like,
  • 00:16:04.080 --> 00:16:05.581
  • What am i really saying?
  • 00:16:05.581 --> 00:16:07.417
  • But if they ever come to me and say:
  • 00:16:07.417 --> 00:16:10.253
  • "what do you really believe?" like joshua does or did,
  • 00:16:10.253 --> 00:16:13.856
  • I would tell them:
  • 00:16:13.856 --> 00:16:15.324
  • "i believe that jesus is my messiah."
  • 00:16:15.324 --> 00:16:17.593
  • Coming out of the messianic closet,
  • 00:16:18.394 --> 00:16:20.663
  • That's pretty much a good way to put this.
  • 00:16:20.663 --> 00:16:23.566
  • I've gone against, completely against the grain.
  • 00:16:23.566 --> 00:16:27.870
  • You know, when you go against the grain,
  • 00:16:27.870 --> 00:16:30.273
  • Like, you get splinters.
  • 00:16:30.273 --> 00:16:32.408
  • It's not easy.
  • 00:16:32.775 --> 00:16:34.243
  • It's not been an easy path for me,
  • 00:16:34.243 --> 00:16:36.746
  • Especially knowing what i know
  • 00:16:36.746 --> 00:16:38.915
  • And hearing what i hear,
  • 00:16:38.915 --> 00:16:40.850
  • How the rabbis talk about him,
  • 00:16:40.850 --> 00:16:42.452
  • How the students mock him.
  • 00:16:42.452 --> 00:16:44.454
  • And i say, okay, i'm here for you.
  • 00:16:44.454 --> 00:16:47.156
  • I want to stay here.
  • 00:16:47.156 --> 00:16:48.891
  • You know, and people ask me:
  • 00:16:48.891 --> 00:16:50.326
  • "aren't you afraid if they find out at your school
  • 00:16:50.326 --> 00:16:52.762
  • "that you believe that jesus is the messiah
  • 00:16:52.762 --> 00:16:55.164
  • "that you'll get fired?"

  • So...
  • 00:16:57.800 --> 00:16:58.968

  • He has through everything and he always delivers.
  • 00:17:01.237 --> 00:17:05.541
  • He took it on the cross for me.
  • 00:17:06.242 --> 00:17:09.312
  • Jesus died so that i could be born again.
  • 00:17:09.312 --> 00:17:13.149
  • The greatest pain is to give up your own child.
  • 00:17:13.149 --> 00:17:16.853
  • How much god must have loved us
  • 00:17:16.853 --> 00:17:19.322
  • To give up his only son for us.

  • In the biblical calendar.
  • 00:18:21.994 --> 00:18:26.297
  • Where is the lamb?
  • 00:18:26.730 --> 00:18:28.532
  • From genesis to revelation,
  • 00:18:28.532 --> 00:18:30.601
  • This idea of the lamb
  • 00:18:30.601 --> 00:18:32.303
  • Has been sprinkled throughout god's history
  • 00:18:32.303 --> 00:18:34.805
  • Of redeeming his people.
  • 00:18:34.805 --> 00:18:36.373
  • Why a lamb?
  • 00:18:36.707 --> 00:18:38.108
  • Why not a bull or a warhorse?
  • 00:18:38.108 --> 00:18:40.844
  • Why is god's redeeming power
  • 00:18:40.844 --> 00:18:43.380
  • Symbolized in the humble and gentle lamb?
  • 00:18:43.380 --> 00:18:46.417
  • In the book of revelation,
  • 00:18:46.984 --> 00:18:48.786
  • The apostle john is taken to heaven in a vision.
  • 00:18:48.786 --> 00:18:52.489
  • There he sees heaven's throne
  • 00:18:52.489 --> 00:18:54.992
  • Surrounded by elders,
  • 00:18:54.992 --> 00:18:56.994
  • Creatures, and angels.
  • 00:18:56.994 --> 00:18:58.829
  • The rainbow,
  • 00:18:58.829 --> 00:19:00.030
  • Thunder and lightning,
  • 00:19:00.030 --> 00:19:01.298
  • And a sea of glass.
  • 00:19:01.298 --> 00:19:03.033
  • All very majestic.
  • 00:19:03.033 --> 00:19:05.569
  • John then saw god's plan for history
  • 00:19:05.569 --> 00:19:08.439
  • Being unfolded in a scroll.
  • 00:19:08.439 --> 00:19:10.841
  • And there was only one who could unfold it.
  • 00:19:10.841 --> 00:19:14.044
  • He heard an angel declare:
  • 00:19:14.044 --> 00:19:26.190
  • When john looked for the lion,
  • 00:19:26.857 --> 00:19:28.993
  • He saw in the middle of the heavenly court
  • 00:19:28.993 --> 00:19:31.595
  • A lamb.
  • 00:19:31.595 --> 00:19:32.997
  • A lamb that has been slain, but is alive.
  • 00:19:32.997 --> 00:19:37.601
  • Shalom, everyone.
  • 00:19:38.035 --> 00:19:39.270
  • We are here to discuss the foundational holiday
  • 00:19:39.270 --> 00:19:42.973
  • Of the jewish people, the passover.
  • 00:19:42.973 --> 00:19:45.542
  • And to ask the question,
  • 00:19:45.542 --> 00:19:47.111
  • Well, what does the passover
  • 00:19:47.111 --> 00:19:48.812
  • Have to do with yeshua, with jesus?
  • 00:19:48.812 --> 00:19:51.915
  • And i have here with me dr. golan broshi.
  • 00:19:51.915 --> 00:19:54.018
  • Shalom, golan. -hi, shalom.
  • 00:19:54.018 --> 00:19:55.519
  • Thank you so much for coming.
  • 00:19:55.519 --> 00:19:56.654
  • And so, i think the first question
  • 00:19:56.654 --> 00:19:58.656
  • We want to ask and discuss is, well,
  • 00:19:58.656 --> 00:20:02.126
  • Why did jesus have to be crucified on the passover?
  • 00:20:02.126 --> 00:20:07.298
  • I mean, isn't that like our holiday
  • 00:20:07.298 --> 00:20:10.134
  • As the jewish people?
  • 00:20:10.134 --> 00:20:11.435
  • Yeah, and we have so many other holidays.
  • 00:20:11.435 --> 00:20:13.504
  • Why crucify on passover?
  • 00:20:13.504 --> 00:20:15.739
  • And i think, you know, even the prophets,
  • 00:20:15.739 --> 00:20:18.075
  • The prophets of the old testament,
  • 00:20:18.075 --> 00:20:19.677
  • When they looked at the exodus stories,
  • 00:20:19.677 --> 00:20:22.346
  • At exodus 12,
  • 00:20:22.346 --> 00:20:25.082
  • They interpreted the last salvation,
  • 00:20:25.082 --> 00:20:27.818
  • The bigger salvation,
  • 00:20:27.818 --> 00:20:29.119
  • In light of the first salvation.
  • 00:20:29.119 --> 00:20:31.822
  • So the prophets, the prophets like isaiah,
  • 00:20:31.822 --> 00:20:34.758
  • They saw the salvation out of egypt from bondage.
  • 00:20:34.758 --> 00:20:38.862
  • They saw it as a picture of the bigger salvation,
  • 00:20:38.862 --> 00:20:42.232
  • The final salvation from sin with the messiah.
  • 00:20:42.232 --> 00:20:45.602
  • So there's a famous saying,
  • 00:20:45.602 --> 00:20:48.305
  • A very well-known rabbi from the 13th century,
  • 00:20:48.305 --> 00:20:51.208
  • On his commentary to the book of genesis, he said:
  • 00:20:51.208 --> 00:20:57.381
  • In other words, what happened,
  • 00:20:58.015 --> 00:21:00.451
  • What happened in the past
  • 00:21:00.451 --> 00:21:01.685
  • Points to an event in the future.
  • 00:21:01.685 --> 00:21:04.054
  • This is really what you're talking about.
  • 00:21:04.054 --> 00:21:05.255
  • Exactly, and what the father did with israel,
  • 00:21:05.255 --> 00:21:08.225
  • This is exactly what he sent his son
  • 00:21:08.225 --> 00:21:10.661
  • To do for all of us.
  • 00:21:10.661 --> 00:21:11.962
  • Golan, when we see that when john the baptist
  • 00:21:11.962 --> 00:21:15.065
  • Saw his cousin, yeshua,
  • 00:21:15.065 --> 00:21:17.334
  • Coming up from the river jordan, he said:
  • 00:21:17.334 --> 00:21:20.437
  • "here is the lamb of god
  • 00:21:20.437 --> 00:21:22.373
  • "who takes away the sin of the world."
  • 00:21:22.373 --> 00:21:24.274
  • And we know that the passover lamb,
  • 00:21:24.274 --> 00:21:26.043
  • Which is a very central part of the passover,
  • 00:21:26.043 --> 00:21:28.579
  • Has been a sacrifice,
  • 00:21:28.579 --> 00:21:30.881
  • But the question is begged to be asked
  • 00:21:30.881 --> 00:21:32.883
  • When we make the connection to the new testament,
  • 00:21:32.883 --> 00:21:35.419
  • Is the passover lamb or can the passover lamb
  • 00:21:35.419 --> 00:21:38.122
  • Be a sin offering?
  • 00:21:38.122 --> 00:21:40.491
  • Yes, so when john sees yeshua, he says,
  • 00:21:40.491 --> 00:21:44.128
  • "behold, the lamb of god that takes the sin."
  • 00:21:44.128 --> 00:21:46.363
  • "takes away the sin of the world." -exactly.
  • 00:21:46.363 --> 00:21:47.798
  • Where did he get that from? -if john is referring,
  • 00:21:47.798 --> 00:21:49.867
  • And i think he is referring
  • 00:21:49.867 --> 00:21:50.934
  • To the lamb in exodus 12,
  • 00:21:50.934 --> 00:21:53.137
  • The lamb in exodus 12 doesn't refer to it
  • 00:21:53.137 --> 00:21:55.672
  • As taking the sins of anybody.
  • 00:21:55.672 --> 00:21:57.975
  • So a really famous rabbi, which is also a professor,
  • 00:21:57.975 --> 00:22:02.279
  • A scholar of the hebrew bible,
  • 00:22:02.279 --> 00:22:03.981
  • Asked that question.
  • 00:22:03.981 --> 00:22:05.482
  • Can the lamb of passover be considered
  • 00:22:05.482 --> 00:22:10.020
  • As a sin offering?
  • 00:22:10.020 --> 00:22:11.188
  • And he said, well,
  • 00:22:11.188 --> 00:22:12.756
  • In first glance, obviously not,
  • 00:22:12.756 --> 00:22:15.926
  • Because you don't hear anything in exodus 12
  • 00:22:15.926 --> 00:22:18.395
  • About taking the sins of anybody,
  • 00:22:18.395 --> 00:22:20.097
  • Not israel, let alone the world.
  • 00:22:20.097 --> 00:22:22.499
  • But then he says, but wait,
  • 00:22:22.499 --> 00:22:24.568
  • If you look closely at the text,
  • 00:22:24.568 --> 00:22:26.670
  • This rabbi is saying, the language,
  • 00:22:26.670 --> 00:22:29.239
  • The language that moses uses in exodus 12
  • 00:22:29.239 --> 00:22:33.043
  • Resembles the sin offering in the book of leviticus.
  • 00:22:33.043 --> 00:22:36.780
  • And therefore... -no blemish...
  • 00:22:36.780 --> 00:22:39.316
  • One year old, no blemish,
  • 00:22:39.316 --> 00:22:41.785
  • Not a bone broken. -yeah.
  • 00:22:41.785 --> 00:22:44.354
  • He said, by the language,
  • 00:22:44.354 --> 00:22:46.723
  • You see, this rabbi is saying,
  • 00:22:46.723 --> 00:22:48.725
  • Not only that we should consider
  • 00:22:48.725 --> 00:22:51.228
  • The passover lamb as a sin offering,
  • 00:22:51.228 --> 00:22:53.564
  • Is the head of all sin offering.
  • 00:22:53.564 --> 00:22:56.099
  • So golan, we talked a little bit beforehand
  • 00:22:56.099 --> 00:22:58.268
  • And we discussed the potential similarities
  • 00:22:58.268 --> 00:23:01.839
  • Between the sacrifice or the attempt
  • 00:23:01.839 --> 00:23:05.642
  • To sacrifice isaac
  • 00:23:05.642 --> 00:23:07.778
  • And the passover lamb.
  • 00:23:07.778 --> 00:23:09.513
  • Can you talk a little about that
  • 00:23:09.513 --> 00:23:11.281
  • And tell us why is it important?
  • 00:23:11.281 --> 00:23:13.317
  • When abram took isaac to the mount of moriah
  • 00:23:13.317 --> 00:23:16.854
  • To sacrifice him, the day,
  • 00:23:16.854 --> 00:23:19.289
  • The day that he put them on the altar
  • 00:23:19.289 --> 00:23:22.259
  • Was the 15th of nissan. -that's the passover.
  • 00:23:22.259 --> 00:23:25.729
  • That's exactly the passover.
  • 00:23:25.729 --> 00:23:27.164
  • So first we see a book that comes
  • 00:23:27.164 --> 00:23:29.733
  • Before the new testament. -right.
  • 00:23:29.733 --> 00:23:31.502
  • And the book even says,
  • 00:23:31.502 --> 00:23:33.370
  • This is why israel is celebrating passover,
  • 00:23:33.370 --> 00:23:36.306
  • To remember abraham putting isaac on the altar,
  • 00:23:36.306 --> 00:23:40.677
  • To remember that.
  • 00:23:40.677 --> 00:23:41.745
  • So what god told isaac,
  • 00:23:41.745 --> 00:23:42.980
  • "take your son,
  • 00:23:42.980 --> 00:23:44.214
  • "your only son,"
  • 00:23:44.214 --> 00:23:46.149
  • Which is a very unique way of saying it in hebrew,
  • 00:23:46.149 --> 00:23:49.152
  • "whom you have loved, isaac,
  • 00:23:49.152 --> 00:23:51.154
  • "and sacrifice him to me on a mountain i will show you."
  • 00:23:51.154 --> 00:23:53.590
  • So a father is taking his beloved son
  • 00:23:53.590 --> 00:23:57.294
  • To sacrifice him as a lamb.
  • 00:23:57.294 --> 00:24:00.030
  • And now a different jewish tradition says
  • 00:24:00.030 --> 00:24:02.933
  • That when abraham put the wood,
  • 00:24:02.933 --> 00:24:05.502
  • The wood on isaac,
  • 00:24:05.502 --> 00:24:07.437
  • The midrash, rabbinic midrash is saying
  • 00:24:07.437 --> 00:24:10.173
  • When isaac took the wood,
  • 00:24:10.173 --> 00:24:12.009
  • He was like a man carrying his cross.
  • 00:24:12.009 --> 00:24:15.045
  • So golan, i want to ask you about isaiah 53.
  • 00:24:15.045 --> 00:24:18.248
  • Isaiah 53, many people view it
  • 00:24:18.248 --> 00:24:20.884
  • As the confession of the nation of israel
  • 00:24:20.884 --> 00:24:23.754
  • Once we recognize the messiah.
  • 00:24:23.754 --> 00:24:26.490
  • Now within that passage, it's also a component
  • 00:24:26.490 --> 00:24:28.825
  • Of a wonderful description of the suffering messiah,
  • 00:24:28.825 --> 00:24:32.296
  • A wonderful description of the lamb.
  • 00:24:32.296 --> 00:24:36.967
  • So i want to ask you specifically about verse 7,
  • 00:24:36.967 --> 00:24:39.269
  • About the lamb.
  • 00:24:39.269 --> 00:24:40.604
  • What's that about? -so, you know,
  • 00:24:40.604 --> 00:24:42.639
  • We started by saying that the prophets,
  • 00:24:42.639 --> 00:24:44.641
  • And especially isaiah, saw the first redemption.
  • 00:24:44.641 --> 00:24:48.912
  • They read the first redemption in exodus 12
  • 00:24:48.912 --> 00:24:51.848
  • And they depicted, they pictured,
  • 00:24:51.848 --> 00:24:54.818
  • They saw the last redemption
  • 00:24:54.818 --> 00:24:57.254
  • In light of that first redemption.
  • 00:24:57.254 --> 00:24:59.389
  • And in the first redemption in exodus 12,
  • 00:24:59.389 --> 00:25:02.025
  • They're talking about the lamb.
  • 00:25:02.025 --> 00:25:04.728
  • So of course, we expect isaiah
  • 00:25:04.728 --> 00:25:07.965
  • To mention the lamb.
  • 00:25:07.965 --> 00:25:09.066
  • Now, sadly, in many translations,
  • 00:25:09.066 --> 00:25:12.035
  • Most translations in english,
  • 00:25:12.035 --> 00:25:14.237
  • There's a little bit of a change.
  • 00:25:14.237 --> 00:25:16.039
  • And i want you to please read one of the translations.
  • 00:25:16.039 --> 00:25:19.209
  • That's, you know, one translation,
  • 00:25:19.209 --> 00:25:20.844
  • But it's most of them.
  • 00:25:20.844 --> 00:25:22.079
  • Isaiah 53:7.
  • 00:25:22.079 --> 00:25:24.214
  • See how it says that isaiah depicts
  • 00:25:24.214 --> 00:25:26.650
  • The lamb or a lamb.
  • 00:25:26.650 --> 00:25:35.292
  • And the key here is "a lamb",
  • 00:25:35.959 --> 00:25:38.161
  • In most english translations, "a lamb."
  • 00:25:38.161 --> 00:25:41.331
  • Not a specific lamb, but any lamb.
  • 00:25:41.331 --> 00:25:44.201
  • But in hebrew, isaiah is saying, "the."
  • 00:25:44.201 --> 00:25:47.971
  • "as the lamb." -exactly.
  • 00:25:47.971 --> 00:25:49.539
  • As the lamb. -and the question is,
  • 00:25:49.539 --> 00:25:52.609
  • Which lamb is isaiah referring to
  • 00:25:52.609 --> 00:25:56.713
  • If it's not the same lamb that isaac was looking for?
  • 00:25:56.713 --> 00:26:00.884
  • Father, where's the lamb?
  • 00:26:00.884 --> 00:26:03.053
  • Here, everything is ready. where's the lamb?
  • 00:26:03.053 --> 00:26:05.656
  • And the lamb of exodus 12.
  • 00:26:05.656 --> 00:26:09.459
  • So i think, specifically, isaiah is using
  • 00:26:09.459 --> 00:26:12.729
  • The lamb to again, to point us,
  • 00:26:12.729 --> 00:26:15.632
  • Also to point us back,
  • 00:26:15.632 --> 00:26:17.434
  • But to point us to the future.
  • 00:26:17.434 --> 00:26:19.269
  • And therefore, when john sees yeshua,
  • 00:26:19.269 --> 00:26:22.706
  • John connects all the dots.
  • 00:26:22.706 --> 00:26:24.508
  • And he says: "behold, the..."
  • 00:26:24.508 --> 00:26:26.677
  • Not any lamb of god, the lamb of god.
  • 00:26:26.677 --> 00:26:29.546
  • That's beautiful. thank you, golan.
  • 00:26:29.546 --> 00:26:31.081
  • This has been fascinating and enlightening.
  • 00:26:31.081 --> 00:26:34.351
  • And for you, our viewers,
  • 00:26:34.351 --> 00:26:36.787
  • We are praying for you that you will see
  • 00:26:36.787 --> 00:26:39.523
  • The depth of the love of god in the messiah.
  • 00:26:39.523 --> 00:26:43.026
  • That even this discussion about the messiah
  • 00:26:43.026 --> 00:26:45.762
  • In the hebrew bible will give you great depth
  • 00:26:45.762 --> 00:26:48.799
  • And encouragement to your faith in the messiah
  • 00:26:48.799 --> 00:26:51.702
  • This passover season.
  • 00:26:51.702 --> 00:26:53.303
  • Shalom and god bless you.
  • 00:26:53.303 --> 00:26:55.138
  • This passover, we have deliverance from sin
  • 00:26:55.138 --> 00:26:58.041
  • And from the devil's bondage because of a lamb,
  • 00:26:58.041 --> 00:27:01.578
  • One that paid for our freedom with his own blood.
  • 00:27:01.578 --> 00:27:05.015
  • In revelation, heaven worships this lamb
  • 00:27:05.015 --> 00:27:07.884
  • That had been slain.
  • 00:27:07.884 --> 00:27:09.619
  • It reigns now and forever.
  • 00:27:09.619 --> 00:27:12.022
  • Living and giving life.
  • 00:27:12.022 --> 00:27:13.957
  • Next time, we look at how the feast of passover
  • 00:27:13.957 --> 00:27:17.160
  • Points to the greatest miracle in history,
  • 00:27:17.160 --> 00:27:19.830
  • The resurrection.
  • 00:27:19.830 --> 00:27:19.830
