(Your personal Offering to Father YHWH) Exodus 12:1-14. Rom. 12:1-2. Lev 23;5
It is the first feast (celebration) dedicated as "A Memorial Unto All Generations". It is an act completed by the person who offers a wholesome offering of complete surrender that will never be forgotten. Hence, it is called 'a Memorial' because you will never forget that event or moment in your life. It is described as an evening when the Moon shines bright: a full moon, where the act of full and complete surrender is done. Where the person has completely surrendered by the provision that is made, this provision is symbolical of a lamb, one year old, without spot or blemish where the act of confession by the mouth, is made unto salvation of the heart, where we believe. It is the purity heart within the person who is ready to make that surrender where the baptism of Messiah comes to reality but the fire on that altar is the baptism of the spirit where the law represents Messiah's person in a physical form among His disciples and where there is still one stage of growth to go - that is like Yohannan (John says: "I have baptized you with water" because the lamb (contains) issues 98% water and blood, the body of that lamb will be purified by fire. "But He who comes after me shall baptize you with the holy spirit and fire" (Luke 3:16) and this is the baptizm that will seal you and ultimately determine how much of yourself you give or how much of yourself you keep. This will now determine whether you indeed offered up that offering on the first month of your first year of redemption on the fourteenth day, which means the day of fullness (as the full the moon - the 14th) The day the shekeniah (glory) is manifested from the shumahyim (the heavens) as the full moon is in its brightness and heaven looks down upon its own. Have you made that offering? Are you ready to walk that way?
Then you can prepare to partake of seven days of pure spiritual food; angel's food, the unleavened bread, symbolical of the perfect walk in perfect light that the Word is undefiled, that you have been purged and washed and baptized by The Spirit and that fire will purify you seven fold (Psa 16:) so that person who is in Messiah is a new creation and the old is passed away; it has been consumed by the fire of the spirit as you rise to walk in the newness of life. This is your spiritual baptism - as it says , "You shall offer up a offering made by fire". It is mentioned every time where the seven feast days are announced, as you assemble, "you shall offer up a offering made by fire". Always remember, that within the tabernacle of your being are the lights the Most High for "The Spirit in Man is from the Candle of YHWH." That offering (Rom 12:1) that you are to offer up, can ONLY be done by yourself no one else can do it for you, (Rom.12:12). This is one act that you must do for yourself and it is the only act that will ensure that when the death angel passes on judgement day, that you are 'passed over' for soon the sun shall be shut down and many shall know their fate. You alone are to ensure that the blood is applied to the 'door post' of your being: referred to as your tabernacle, your house. Your consciousness; and that the blood of the Lamb is found there, that you will be pure and humble as this lamb which ceases to exist at one level and exists in totality on the next level. You have to see yourself as a 'lamb,' one year old, without spot or blemish because the lamb represents fullness or the full moon on the 14th of Abib which represents the shekeniah while the 'great haste' means hurrying to cleanse yourself. Unless there is a complete surrendering and emptying of the ego, (self, flesh) and the desires of the carnal mind - for behold, I am impaled with Messiah, nevertheless, I live, yet, not I, but the Masu (the anointing) rises within and quickens one's total being. The life that I now live in the flesh I live not of myself, but of the faith of the Sun of Yahu.
The anointed sun (Mal 4:2) transforms you into an anointed being to reach the fullness of the stature of the image of Messiah. Until you come to the fullness of the Messiah, unity of the Faith. (Eph 4:13) as you achieve oneness with Him. I have no other desire than to dwell in the tabernacle. This body that you have will be transformed from mortality to immortality, and from corruption to incorruption, this planted and natural body shall raise a spiritual body. (I Cor.15:). That is where the lamb dies ( Rom. 6:) when it is consumed by the fire of the spirit, the old person goes away and you rise in newness of the spirit. (Rom.6, Acts 2)
THE SIGNIFICANCE OF UNLEAVENED BREAD
This is partaken of with Passover and continues for seven days.
The number seven is a symbol of righteousness; the number of the Most High. Six represents one short of seven, which means imperfection. Physical is one state of existence which is imperfection. However, spiritual is perfection and it carries number seven with it - Spiritual life, and Heaven. Bread itself is something that we depend on, something that we eat. When you are immersed in water, you are baptized in water. You are placed under the water backwards; a symbol of dying; but someone is doing that to you, you are not able to do it for yourself. Someone is bringing you and taking you to the position of death under the water and then brings you back up. This is very serious because you have placed your life in the hands of someone and you know that you won't get drowned when you go down. This is a symbol of surrendering your life in the hands of the Creator. This is different to the Passover where you have to do it for yourself.
The water wherein you are immersed represents the pure unadulterated Word with which you are washed as one who has made that surrender - a living offering, wholly and acceptable and pure.
Therefore, you shall continue to partake thereafter that night of the Passover as you make your way out of Egypt, out of bondage, out of slavery, out of the world of lust and unrighteousness to make your way out of that life and that land of death, having being raised out of death into the land of righteousness, and salvation.
The Israelites were happy - they rushed out of Egypt with great joy after years in bondage and captivity. They left with their unleavened bread; that flour was kneaded, it was pressed and their doughs were ready. Yes, they were very ready before they left and for seven days did they partake.
The first day and the seventh day means 'forever and ever.’ 'Forever' meaning the first day, and 'ever' meaning the last day. You are to partake of the Living Word as you feed your body physically to sustain it. So also your spiritual body must be fed spiritually with the Word; you as an individual and collectively as the Assembly (convocation). To partake of the Bread of Life in John 6: the Messiah declares; "He who eats of Me shall live forever and I shall raise him up on the last day"
When the sixth and seventh seals are opened, every soul shall taste of death (Rev. 6, 1 Cor.l5, Matt 24) and rise again for you shall receive immortality through transformation from corrupt ion to incorruption. Death shall be swallowed up in victory.
