Lambs on a path

Exodus 12:11, 14 “And thus shall ye eat it; with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and ye shall eat it in haste: it is the LORD’s Passover. And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall keep it a feast to the LORD throughout your generations; ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance forever. ”

Mitzvot is the plural form of the Hebrew noun mitzvah. This noun is, like virtually all Hebrew words, derived from a verb, namely the verb tzavah.

Tzavah is made up of the three letters: [tzade] – pictographically representing a man bowing in submission under the Hand of YHVH, [vav] – pictograph of a nail or peg attaching one thing to another, and [hey] is a pictograph of an open window or tent, the nomadic symbol of fresh air [symbolic of refreshing or inspiration] and a perspective of the outside world [symbolic of revelation].

Thus Tzavah pictures a man living in submission to YHVH being connected to true revelation and inspiration. Adding as a prefix to the verb, the letter [mem] – a pictograph of waves in motion – means that the process of this ‘man connected’ is an ongoing and progressive process.

Mitzvot, or commandments [Anglican word], are Divine pronouncements designed to be an ongoing interactive process to connect men who are willingly submissive to YHVH with true revelation and inspiration.

The Hebrew concept is NOT that of commanding involvement, moreover, it is a pathway for the connection to the true revelation and inspiration.

Submission to the Torah, or mitzvots, were never intended to be the way to eternal life. To the contrary, when properly understood, Torah submission is, – and always has been, the lifestyle of those that have already received redemption through the appropriation of the spilled blood of the sacrifice. Yeshua became the final sacrifice.

1 John 5:2 “By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments {mitzvoth}.”

1 Peter 1:1-2 “Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, the Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.

The spiritual meaning of Passover in Exodus was only revealed upon Yeshua’s death on the cross. All the Biblical feasts, which we have been taught by the Church to ignore as obsolete and irrelevant because they’re part of the Old Testament (which it regards as abolished), were set up by God as a model for the purpose of teaching and preparing us for their ultimate fulfillment, the Revelation of Messiah or the Second coming.

All of this is due to the tradition established by a Roman politician almost 1700 years ago, as a compromise to the pagan Sun worshippers and the anti-Jewish Church Bishops, the “church” today has abandoned the God-ordained remembrances.

Believers today should follow God’s divine ordinance for Passover rather than man-made doctrines, built around man-made political and social agendas, especially concerning this unequalled memorial feast.

Last time I checked, forever means forever…..not until some Roman Bishop or Emperor decided otherwise.
