Passover, Good Friday and Easter

       Pesach or commonly known as Passover commemorates the deliverance of the
Hebrew Nation from slavery in Egypt

Pesach (in Hebrew) 
Heh Samech Pei

     Pei - Sa- cH means to pass-through. In the Book of Exodus. Yahweh instructs 
Moses to command Pharaoh to free the Israelite Nation. A slew of plagues follow,
ending with a final plague whereby the Angel of Death strikes all firstborn in Egypt. 

א  וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוָה אֶל-מֹשֶׁה, עוֹד נֶגַע אֶחָד אָבִיא עַל-פַּרְעֹה וְעַל-מִצְרַיִם--אַחֲרֵי-כֵן
שַׁלַּח אֶתְכֶם מִזֶּה:  כְּשַׁלְּחוֹ--כָּלָה, גָּרֵשׁ יְגָרֵשׁ אֶתְכֶם מִזֶּה.

And the LORD said unto Moses: 'Yet one plague more will I bring upon Pharaoh, 
and upon Egypt; afterwards he will let you go hence; when he shall let you go, he shall 
surely thrust you out hence altogether.~ Exodus 11:1

   What i find perplexing is Yahweh repeatedly 'hardens' Pharaoh's heart culminating with 
this disaster to Egypt. 
 
       Pesach coincides with Good Friday and Easter. I believe that in the Seder
Meal.Yahweh commands, as a remembrance of deliverance, is in fact Yeshua's command
of remembrance of deliverance, of the World from Condemnation, at the Last Supper  


Now the Festival of Unleavened Bread arrived, when the Passover lamb is sacrificed.  
Jesus sent Peter and John ahead and said, “Go and prepare the Passover meal, so we 
can eat it together.” “Where do you want us to prepare it?” they asked him. 10 He replied,
 “As soon as you enter Jerusalem, a man carrying a pitcher of water will meet you. Follow
 him. At the house he enters, 11 say to the owner, ‘The Teacher asks: Where is  the guest
 room where I can eat the Passover meal with my disciples?’ 12 He will take you upstairs 
to a large room that is already set up. That is where you should prepare our meal.”   
 13 They  went off to the city and found everything just as Jesus had said, and they 
prepared  the Passover meal there. 14 When the time came, Jesus and the apostles sat 
down  together at the table.[a] 15 Jesus said,  “I have been very eager to eat this Passover'
meal with you before  my suffering begins. 16 For I tell you now that I won’t eat this meal 
again until its meaning is in the Kingdom of God.” 17 Then he took a cup of wine and gave 
thanks to God  for it. Then he said, “Take this and share it among yourselves. 18 For I will 
not drink wine again until the  Kingdom of God has come.” 19 He took some bread and 
gave' thanks to God for it. Then he broke it in pieces and gave it to the disciples, saying,
 “This is my body, which is given or you. Do this to remember me.”

~ Luke 22:7-19 NLT

Yeshua, calls all whose hearts have hardened. Today, Right Now, Join Me. If you do not
know Yeshua. Ask him to forgive you for your Sins and Ask him to be Your Lord and Saviour.
