Pesach, or Passover begins on the evening of Friday April 3rd and continues through Saturday, April 11th. Pesach (Passover), includes Chag Ha'Matzoth (Unleavened Bread) and Reishit Katzir (FirstFruits).
1. Pesach (Passover) April 4th, 2015
Date Of Moed: 14th Day of 1st Month (Nissan – March / April)
Key Scripture: 1 Corinthians 5:7 – "For our paschal lamb, Yeshua, has been sacrificed."
Key Word: Salvation
Actions: Lamb is killed and roasted. Lamb is eaten by the family.
Prophetic Fulfillment: Yeshua's Crucifixion
Pesach symbolizes deliverance from Egyptian bondage and redemption by the blood of the Lamb. This moed was fulfilled in Yeshua's first coming when He was crucified as a payment in full for our sins.
2. Chag Ha'Matzoth (Unleavened Bread) April 5th, 2015
Date Of Moed: 15th Day of 1st Month (Nissan – March / April)
Key Scriptures: 1 Peter 1:15‑16 – "Instead, as he who called you is holy, be holy yourselves in all your conduct; for it is written, 'You shall be holy, for I am holy'."
1 Corinthians 5:7-8 – "Purge out therefore the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, as you are unleavened. For even Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us: Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven . . . but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth."
Key Word: Holiness
Actions: Put away all leaven. Eat unleavened bread. Do no hard work. Present an offering by fire.
Prophetic Fulfillment: This moed was fulfilled in Yeshua's Burial on the day after Pesach.
Chag Ha'Matzoth declares that Yahweh's people are to be set apart from sin, just as Yeshua was sinless. Yeshua was buried just as the Feast of Chag Ha'Matzoth began.
The Chag Ha'Matzoth Blog will be posted tomorrow on April 3, 2015.
3. Reishit Katzir (First Fruits) April 7th, 2015
Date Of Moed: Sabbath after Passover, third day after crucifixion.
Key Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:20-22 – "But in fact Yeshua has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who have died so all will be made alive in Yeshua."
Key Word: Resurrection
Actions: Wave offering of first sheaf of barley before the Lord. Burnt, Cereal, and Drink Offerings given. Eat none of the new grain until this day.
Prophetic Fulfillment: Yeshua's Resurrection
Reishit Katzir is a time of thanksgiving for the harvest to come. The first sheaf is a promise of larger harvest to come. This moed was fulfilled in Yeshua's resurrection on the third day.
Conclusions
The Moedim are dress rehearsals for the real events. Pesach, Chag Ha'Matzoth, Reishit Katzir, and Shavuot have already been fulfilled in Yeshua's first coming.
Final Thought
Prophecy continues to unfold as foretold by the Hebrew Prophets. Today we are one day closer to the return of Yeshua than we were yesterday and tomorrow we will be even one day closer. For almost two thousand years the Jews would proclaim "Next year in Jerusalem!" I now proclaim "Next Yom Teruah in the clouds!" Time is short – Yeshua Ha'Mashiach is coming soon – get busy reaching the lost.
