Passover. We are told in Scripture to tell the story of the events of this amazing day. Is the story only about Egypt though? What if the story begins in the Garden and leads throughout history into the Millennium? How can we sum up this story in one word?

The book of “Leviticus” is very much understood. Maybe the reason is because it is taught that it is written for a small group of people, but in fact it is written for a large group of people. How are we doing at laying into our offerings unto Yah?

In the work of preparation for a place for Yah to dwell, each person has equal status and equal stake. The choice we are given is in the attitude in which we bring our status and stake. Just how much “golden calf” are we holding onto in our lives? 

“Give an order” seems like pretty direct language, but it raises a question we should all ask, does our Creator have a right to give us an order and how do we respond when He does. Breastplates, offerings, oil and incense.

How do these items speak into our lives today?

Form and function. These two concepts are brought forth in the Tabernacle. Hebrews 8 tells us Moshe was building an earthly model of what already existed in the Heavenly realm. How does this earthly model speak into and direct each of our lives?

Why start with a set of rules and a man who is a Hebrew servant? It just does not make sense until we understand what the rules are for. Tracing the first use of the word will give a whole new understanding and meaning as to why Yah gave us rules.

Moshe returns to the place he had been promised, Mt. Sinai. He gathers the people, puts the camp in order and then it is time to wait. Wait for what, they do not know. What will come forth are words that will define history. What commandment stands out though?

We may be thousands of years from the original exodus, but the story remains the same. A group of covenant people being freed from exile and led back to a land promised to their ancestors. Times and faces may change. Let us learn our lessons from their times and faces.

Moshe is not being told to go to Pharoah, but rather to come to Pharoah. What is the difference? A new calendar! Great idea. Now the Hebrews can have calendar issues. Not as long as they understand the purpose. Is Passover a day, a season or a lifestyle?

Yah makes Himself know to Moshe in a way the patriarchs did not know. Will this same principle apply to us in our day? So much is happening in our world that parallels Egypt. It is a time to be observant so as not to become vulnerable.
