Passover (Pesach) begins today

Well, technically, Passover is a 7 day holiday (feast) which begins today.

So you ask? What exactly IS Passover ?

Well, you are likely aware that Passover celebrates the departure (exodus) of the Jewish Nation from Egypt after about 400 years of living in Egypt, most of that time in slavery.

If you are rusty on those events, check out the Biblical account in Exodus 12.  HERE'S THE LINK

The Holiday / Feast activities and celebrations observed today are not only reminders of that past event but

they are also types / prophetic pictures pointing to future events.

For example -- The Jewish Seder Supper is observed at Passover. 

There are many things eaten during this Seder, each with significant symbolism.

Two of these 'special things' are the Afikomen and the Zeroa.

What are they? And why are these important to both Jews and Gentiles (everyone else) ?

HERE'S THE LINK that explains about the Afikomen and the Zeroa

Today we are linking to a very interesting and informative video by David Brickner, the Director for the Jews for Jesus Ministry.

It was presented at a Church worship service and explains what the various elements of the Seder supper commemorate --

but more importantly -- it explains what the various elements and activities reveal as prophetic pictures.

Whether you are a Christian or a Jew --this is definitely a must watch video.  So carve out some time (about 26 minutes) and prepare to learn a lot.
