PAST EVENTS INDICATING PROPHECY

The seven day feast of unleavened bread (bread without yeast)

And on the fifteenth day of the same month (Aviv) is the Feast of Unleavened Bread to YHWH.

Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread. On the first day you shall remove leaven from your houses. For whoever eats leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that person shall be cut off from Israel.

In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at evening (when the 15th is beginning), you shall eat unleavened bread, until the twenty-first day of the month at evening. For seven days no leaven shall be found in your houses, since whoever eats what is leavened, that same person shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he is a stranger or a native of the land. You shall eat nothing leavened. In all your dwellings you shall eat unleavened bread.

Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread and the seventh day shall be a feast to YHWH. Unleavened bread shall be eaten for seven days. No leavened bread shall be seen with you, neither shall there be leaven in all your territory (borders). You shall explain to your son on that day. This is done because of what YHWH did for me when I came out of Egypt. It shall be as a sign to you upon your hand and as a memorial between your eyes that the Law of YHWH may be in your mouth. For with a strong hand YHWH has brought you out of Egypt. You shall therefore keep this ordinance at this time from year to year.

You shall eat no leavened bread with it. For seven days you shall eat it with unleavened bread, the bread of affliction – for you fled from the land of Egypt in haste – that all the days of your life you may (earnestly) remember the day when you came out of Egypt. No leaven shall be seen with you in all your territory for seven days. Nor shall any of the meat (Pesach) which you sacrificed the first day at evening be left all night until the morning.

And on the fifteenth day of this month (Aviv) is the feast. Unleavened bread shall be eaten for seven days. On the first day you shall have a holy convocation. You shall do no customary work.

Lev. 23:6; Ex. 12:15; Ex. 12:18; Ex. 13:6; Deut. 16:3; Num. 28:17

Great (High) Shabbat, first and seventh day

On the first day you shall have a holy convocation (High/Great Sabbath). You shall do no customary work on it. The seventh day shall be a holy convocation (High/Great Sabbath). You shall do no customary work on it.

On the first day there shall be a holy convocation, and on the seventh day there shall be a holy convocation for you. No manner of work shall be done on them; but that which everyone must eat – that only may be prepared by you.

On the first day you shall have a holy convocation. You shall do no customary work.

And on the seventh day you shall have a holy convocation. You shall do no customary work.

Lev. 23:7; Ex. 12:16; Num. 28:18; Num. 28:25

The day of exile from Egypt

Remember this day in which you went out of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. For by strength of hand YHWH brought you out of this place. No leavened bread shall be eaten. On this day you are going out, in the month Aviv.

So you shall observe the Feast of Unleavened Bread, for on this same day I will have brought your armies out of the land of Egypt. Therefore you shall observe this day throughout your generations as an everlasting ordinance.

Observe the month of Abib, and keep the Passover to YHWH your Elohim, for in the month of Abib YHWH your Elohim brought you out of Egypt by night (Pharaoh called for Moses in the night). They departed from Rameses in the first month, on the fifteenth day of the first month; on the day after the Passover the children of Israel went out with boldness in the sight of all the Egyptians.

Ex. 13:3; Ex. 12:17; Deut. 16:1; Num. 33:3

Yearly observance of this Feast in the Temple

Three times a year shall all your males appear before YHWH your Elohim in the place which He chooses at the Feast of UNLEAVENED BREAD, at the Feast of Weeks, and at the Feast of Tabernacles. They shall not appear before YHWH empty-handed. Every man shall give as he is able, according to the blessing of YHWH your Elohim which He has given you.

Deut.16:16

FULFILLED PROPHECIES

Prophetic significance of Messiah – about His innocence and His burial

And they assigned Him a grave with the wicked, and with a rich man in His death, although He had done no violence, neither was any deceit in His mouth.

He shall see the labor of His soul, and be satisfied. By His knowledge My righteous Servant shall justify many, for He shall bear their iniquities. Therefore I will divide Him a portion with the great, and He shall divide the spoil with the strong, because He poured out His soul unto death, and He was numbered with the transgressors, and He bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

Behold MY Servant, Whom I uphold, My elect in Whom My soul delights! I have put My Spirit upon Him; He will bring forth justice and right and reveal truth to the nations. He will not cry or shout aloud or cause His voice to be heard in the street. A bruised reed He will not break, and a dimly burning wick He will not quench; He will bring forth justice in truth. He will not fail or become weak or be crushed and discouraged till He has established justice in the earth; and the islands and coastal regions shall wait hopefully for Him and expect His direction and His Law (Torah).

Get rid of the old leaven (yeast), so that you can be a new batch of dough, because in reality you are unleavened.

For we do not have a cohen gadol (High Priest) unable to empathize with our weaknesses; since in every respect he was tempted just as we are, the only difference being that he did not sin.

For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of  YHWHin Him.

And you know that He was manifested to take away our sins, and in Him there is no sin.

Towards evening, there came a wealthy man from Ramatayim named Yosef, who was himself a disciple of Yeshua. He approached Pilate and asked for Yeshua’s body, and Pilate ordered it to be given to him. Yosef took the body, wrapped it in a clean linen sheet, and laid it in his own tomb, which he had recently had cut out of the rock. After rolling a large stone in front of the entrance to the tomb, he went away.

Is. 53:9; Is. 53:11; 1Cor.5:7; Hebr.4:15; 2Cor.5:21; 1Jn.3:5; Mtt.27:57

The day when Yeshua was wrapped in a shroud and put in the tomb. In the evening of the 14th day (before the sunset), which is the beginning of the Feast of Unleavened Bread (before the 15th day) Yeshua had already been put in the tomb

Early in the morning, all the high priest and elders met to plan how to bring about Yeshua’s death. Then they put Him in chains, led Him away and handed Him over to Pilate the governor. Now at the Feast of Unleavened Bread (High Sabbath) the governor was in the habit of setting free for the people any one prisoner whom they chose.When they arrived at a place called Gulgolta/Golgotha, they gave Him wine mixed with bitter gall to drink. After they had nailed Him to the stake, they divided His clothes among them by throwing dice. Now from the sixth hour until the ninth hour (noon until 3 o’clock in the afternoon) there was darkness over all the land. And about the ninth hour (at about 3 o’clock in the afternoon), Yeshua uttered a loud cry: “Eli! Eli! L’mah sh’vaktani?”  But Yeshua, again crying out in a loud voice, yielded up His spirit. At that moment the parokhet in the Temple was ripped in two from top to bottom. And  there was an earthquake, with rocks splitting apart. Also the graves were opened, and the bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life. Towards evening, there came a wealthy man from Ramatayim named Yosef, who was himself a disciple of Yeshua. Yosef took the body, wrapped it in a clean linen sheet, and laid it in his own tomb, which he had recently had cut out of the rock. After rolling a large stone in front of the entrance to the tomb, he went away. On the next day, which followed the day of Preparation (when Yeshua was crucified), the chief priests and Pharisees gathered together to Pilate.

Immediately, in the morning, the chief priests held a consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole council; and they bound Yeshua, led Him away, and delivered Him to Pilate. The soldiers led Him away inside the palace and called together the whole battalion. They dressed Him in purple and wove thorn branches into a crown, which they put on Him. And when they had mocked Him, they took the purple off Him, put His own clothes on Him, and led Him out to crucify Him.They brought Yeshua to a place called Gulgolta/Golgotha. And they crucified Him. And they divided His garments and distributed them among themselves, throwing lots for them to decide who should take what. It was the third hour (about 9 o’clock in the morning) when they nailed Him to the stake. And when the sixth hour (about midday) had come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour (3 pm). And at the ninth hour (3 pm) Yeshua uttered a loud cry: “Elohi! Elohi! L’mah sh’vaktani?”. But Yeshua let out a loud cry and gave up His spirit.  And the parokhet (the veil) in the Temple was torn in two from top to bottom. It was the Preparation Day the day before the Sabbath/High Sabbath (14th day of Aviv, when they had slain the lamb and sat down for the ‘Seder’ – the Dinner on Pesach), as evening approached, Yosef a prominent member of the Sanhedrin who himself was also looking forward to the Kingdom of YHWH, went boldly to Pilate and asked for Yeshua’s body. But Pilate wondered whether Yeshua was dead so soon. Yosef purchased a linen sheet; and after taking Yeshua down, he wrapped Him in the linen sheet, laid Him in a tomb which had been cut out of the rock, and rolled a stone against the entrance to the tomb. Miryam of Magdala and Miryam the mother of Yosef saw where He had been laid.

As soon as it was day, the elders of the people, both chief priests and scribes, came together and led Him into their council, saying: “If you are the Mashiach/Messiah tell us.” But He said to them: “If I tell you, you will by no means believe.” With that, the whole Sanhedrin got up and brought Yeshua before Pilate.When he (Pilate) learned that He was under Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent Him over to Herod, who at that time happened to be in Yerushalayim/Jerusalem too. Herod and his soldiers treated Yeshua with contempt and made fun of Him. Then, dressing Him in an elegant robe, they sent Him back to Pilate. That day Herod and Pilate became friends with each other. Previously they had been enemies. When they came to the place called Golgotha, they nailed Him to a stake; and they nailed the criminals to stakes, one on the right and one on the left. Yeshua said: “Father, forgive them; they don’t understand what they are doing.” They divided up His clothes by throwing dice. It was about the sixth hour (about noon), and there was darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour (3 pm) in the afternoon. The sun did not shine. Also the parokhet (the veil) in the Temple was split down the middle. Crying out with a loud voice: Yeshua said, “Eli! Eli! L’mah sh’vaktani?”  With these words He gave up His spirit. Now behold, there was a man named Joseph, a council member, a good and just man. He had not consented to their decision and deed. He was from Arimathea, a city of the Jews, who himself was also waiting for the kingdom of YHWH. This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Yeshua. He took it (body) down, wrapped it in a linen sheet, and placed it in a tomb cut into the rock, that had never been used. It was the Preparation Day (14th of Aviv, the time when the lamb was slain and they sat down at the table for the evening ‘Seder’ – the Dinner on Pesach), and a Sabbath (the High Sabbath = The Feast of Unleavened Bread) was about to beginThe women who had come with Yeshua from the Galil followed; they saw the tomb and how His body was placed in it. Then they went back home to prepare spices and ointments.

They led Yeshua from Kayafa to the Praetorium. By now it was early morning. They did not enter the headquarters building because they didn’t want to become ritually defiled and thus unable to eat the Pesach meal (the Dinner on Pesach – ‘Seder’). Pilate went outside to them and said: “What charge are you bringing against this man?” Pilate went back into the headquarters, called Yeshua and said to Him: “Are you the king of the Jews?”On hearing this, Pilate tried to find a way to set Him free; but the Judeans shouted: “If you set this man free, it means you’re not a friend of the Emperor! Everyone who claims to be a King is opposing the Emperor!” When Pilate heard what they were saying, he brought Yeshua outside and sat down on the judge’s seat in the place called The Pavement (in Aramaic, Gabta). It was Preparation Day for the Passover (14th of Aviv, the time when the lamb was slain and they sat down at the table for the evening ‘Seder’ – the Dinner on Pesach) and it was about the sixth hour (6 am). He said to the Judeans: “Here’s your king!” They shouted: “Take Him away!” Then Pilate handed Yeshua over to them to have Him put to death on the stake. So they took charge of Yeshua. Carrying the stake Himself He went out to the place called Skull (in Aramaic, Gulgolta). There they nailed Him to the stake (crucified Him). After Yeshua had taken the wine, He said: “It is accomplished!” And, letting His head droop, He delivered up His spirit. It was Preparation Day, and the Judeans did not want the bodies to remain on the stake on Sabbath (High Sabbath), since it was an especially important Sabbath for that Sabbath was a ‘High Day’ (High Sabbath =The Feast of Unleavened Bread). So they asked Pilate to have the legs broken and the bodies removed. But when they got to Yeshua and saw that He was already dead, they didn’t break His legs. However, one of the soldiers stabbed His side with a spear, and at once blood and water flowed out. After this, Yosef of Ramatayim, who was a disciple of Yeshua, but a secret one out of fear of the Judeans, asked Pilate if he could have Yeshua’s body. Pilate gave his consent, so Yosef came and took the body away. Also Nakdimon, who at first had gone to see Yeshua by night, came with some seventy pounds of spices – a mixture of myrrh and aloes. They took Yeshua’s body and wrapped it up in linen sheets with the spices, in keeping with Judean burial practice. In the vicinity of where He had been executed was a garden, and in the garden was a new tomb in which no one had ever been buried. So, because it was Preparation Day (the High Sabbath – the Feast of Unleavened Bread was about to begin) for the Judeans, and because the tomb was close by, that is where they buried Yeshua.

THE FOLLOWING EVENTS HAPPENED AT THE EXACT SAME TIME

After the seven days of Unleavened Bread, there is a feast that celebrates the nation of Israel having crossed the Red Sea

And I stood between the Egyptians and Israel, and we delivered Israel out of his hand, and out of the hand of his people, and YHWH brought them through the midst of the sea as if it were dry land. And all the peoples whom he brought to pursue after Israel, YHWH our Elohim cast them into the midst of the sea, into the depths of the abyss beneath the children of Israel, even as the people of Egypt had cast their children into the river He took vengeance on 1,000,000 of them, and one thousand strong and energetic men were destroyed on account of one suckling of the children of thy people which they had thrown into the river. And on the fourteenth day and on the fifteenth and on the sixteenth and on the seventeenth and on the eighteenth the prince Mastêmâ was bound and imprisoned behind the children of Israel that he might not accuse them. And on the nineteenth we let them loose that they might help the Egyptians and pursue the children of Israel. And he hardened their hearts and made them stubborn, and the device was devised by  YHWH our Elohim that He might smite the Egyptians and cast them into the sea. And on the fourteenth we bound him that he might not accuse the children of Israel […]

Time of joy in the memories of Abraham, which took him to the mountain and back (seven days), for Isaac sacrifice

And Abraham went to his young men, and they arose and went together to Beersheba, and Abraham dwelt by the Well of the Oath. And he celebrated this festival every year, seven days with joy, and he called it the festival of YHWH according to the seven days during which he went and returned in peace. And accordingly has it been ordained and written on the heavenly tablets regarding Israel and its seed that they should observe this festival seven days with the joy of festival.
