Remembering this is a reminder to every believer that in this month the very first Passover took place.
This month becomes the starting point for the religious year, emphasizing the importance of the Passover event.
The concept of a new beginning is echoed in the Brit Chadashah/New Testament, where believers are called to a new life in Christ/Messiah (2 Corinthians 5:17).
it shall be the first month of your year.
Yes of course we remember that Messiah died and was resurrected at this season; and was the fulfillment physically and spiritually of the type and shadow in exodus of the Israelites out of Egypt.
The Exodus from Egypt was the birth of the nation of Israel. They cried out to the Lord because of their bondage and slavery to Egyptian rule, they desired to be free, to be delivered and saved. He heard their cries and came down to deliver them.
We cry out to the Lord to be saved and delivered from the slavery to sin, the bondage that we are born into that exists in the worlds systems, symbolically our Egypt; and He heard our cries and came down to save and deliver us.
Their protection from the final plague of the death of the firstborn of every family, was prevented by each household sacrificing a lamb and putting its blood on the door post and lintel of their homes. When the death Angel saw the blood of the sacrificed lamb the angel passed over that house and the firstborn did not die.
When I see the blood I will pass over you. Exodus 12:13
We focus so much all the wonderful and important events in Jerusalem during the days leading up to after the crucifixion of Messiah, we sometimes forget the importance of the shedding of Messiah Jesus/Yeshua’s blood.
Without the shedding of Messiah’s blood there is no forgiveness of sin,
Hebrews 9:22-28
because the life is in the blood. Leviticus 17:11.
Yeshua/Jesus’ blood was from His Heavenly Father and powerful enough to not only cover, but destroy and wipe away sin completely.
We are to spiritually apply the blood of Messiah to our lives, we are to place it spiritually by faith on the dalet, the doors of our homes.
The dalet,doors/entrances to our home/our physical bodies while on earth, these doors are the eyes, ears and mouths, entrances to the physical body.
In Leviticus 14:17, the blood was applied to the right ear, thumb, and right big toe of the priest, it signifies total consecration this in the areas of the mind, hearing, that the recipient would allow only and godly things to enter their ears and minds. Then in working, that the actions and occupations needing hands would be righteous and direction, walking, that the paths and places travelled to would be directed by the Lord. All secured first by atoning blood and then empowered by holy oil, symbolic of the Ruach haKodesh/Holy Spirit.
Yes it applies to believers as we are told in
Rev. 1:6 And hath made us kingsandpriests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. and 5:10You have made them to be kingsandpriests to serve our God, and they will reign upon the earth.
When I see the blood I will pass over you.
When the Father sees the blood consistently applied to our lives, He passes over us and does not confer judgement on our lives because of sin, sin that results in death if not repented of. For the wages of sin is death. Romans 6:23
This should give us cause to rejoice not only at this time of the year but every day. Every time we stumble and repent and receive forgiveness, the blood speaks for us and cries mercy. Hebrew 12:24
This week rejoice in Messiah’s resurrection and the fulfillment of the plan of salvation set in place as an annual marker for everyone. Before Messiahs sacrificial death 2000+ years ago they all looked forward and for us we look back. But the verse in Exodus never changes..
when I see the blood I will Passover you.

Shalom, shalom mishpachah/family
and cheverim/friends!
It’s all about Life and Relationship,
NOT Religion.
You are greatly loved and precious in His sight.
NOT SURE?
YOU CAN BE..
SAY THE FOLLOWING FROM YOUR HEART RIGHT NOW…
Heavenly Father I come to you in the Name of Jesus/Yeshua asking for forgiveness of my sins for which I am truly sorry. I repent of them all and turn away from my past.
I believe with my heart and confess with my mouth that Jesus/Yeshua is your Son and that He died on the cross at calvary to pay the price for my sin, so that I might be forgiven and have eternal life in the kingdom of Heaven. Father I believe that Jesus/Yeshua rose from the dead and I ask you to come into my life right now and be my personal Savior and Lord and I will worship you all the days of my life. Because your word is truth I say that I am now forgiven and born again and by faith I am washed clean with the blood of Jesus/Yeshua. Thank you that you have accepted me into your family in Jesus’/Yeshua’s name. Amen
