Lev. 23:4 “These are the set feasts of YHWH, even holy convocations, which you shall proclaim in their appointed season. 23:5 In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month in the evening, is YHWH’s Passover. 23:6 On the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread to YHWH. Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread. 23:7 In the first day you shall have a holy convocation. You shall do no regular work. 23:8 But you shall offer an offering made by fire to YHWH seven days. In the seventh day is a holy convocation: you shall do no regular work.”

Passover is a fulfilled feast and currently there is no way we can observe this commandment as Scripture commands.  Also note that in the Ezekiel Third Millennial Temple there is no Passover Lamb, thus we observe only the seven days of Unleavened Bread as a commanded memorial to Y’shua.

Since we can’t keep this mitzvoth,  we aren’t going to keep a real lamb, slaughter it, drain its blood, put its blood on the door posts and lintels, roast it,  and burn the remains after the Seder is over. The Passover Lamb is no longer used as an commanded atoning sacrifice.

If lamb is served at a seder, it’s just like any ordinary lamb dinner at any other time of the year,  and should not be considered as anything Set Apart and Holy over any other meats.

As far as leftovers are concerned, you will wrap up your leftovers, put them in a container,  and put them in the frig., enjoying lamb sandwiches the next day.

At any Unleavened bread seder, you can have any KOSHER food you want,  as long as there is no yeast.  You can serve lamb, chicken, beef, fish,  or no meat at all,  as this is a fulfilled feast.  So enjoy your meal however you want to eat it.

During the Ezekiel Temple,  the seven days of Matzo are STILL OBSERVED, thus we need to observe it.

One other thing I want to mention,  is that we never start the Seder and then in the middle of it stop and set the table for the main meal, eat it, clean up all of that mess, and then reset the table for the rest of the seder!   We have always eaten our dinner first, cleaned up the table and then set it with the Seder dishes enjoying our Seder in shalom and without interruption!  I have to wonder who came up with the “brilliant” idea of starting the seder, stopping, then starting up the seder again!

The Passover is a beautiful FULFILLED experience.  And one final warning, If anyone comes to you trying to convince you that we are still to slaughter lambs and put its blood on the door posts, get their names, and then run for the nearest exit.  There is a small band of heretics and blasphemers who are still slaughtering lambs and teaching this heresy.  This is FORBIDDEN in Scripture.  I want you to get their names so the rest of us can avoid them as well!

This is forbidden in Scripture because Lev. 17 requires that all sacrifices to YHWH be brought to the door of the Tabernacle/Temple,  and indeed the Passover Lamb HAS been slaughtered for us already with the atoning offering of Y’shua.

I Cor. 5: 6-8, “Your boasting is not good. Don’t you know that a little yeast leavens the whole lump? Purge out the old yeast, that you may be a new lump, even as you are unleavened. For indeed Messiah, our Passover, has been sacrificed in our place. Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old yeast, neither with the yeast of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.”

Notice that Paul says Passover has been fulfilled,  so we just keep the Feast of Unleavened Matzo.

Shalom.

Grief: Dramatis personae.   It plays a mysterious role and one may not even know they are the storyline or remember that they were chosen to grieve as grief has snuck up on them while they slept latching onto their soul from a sorrowful love lost lived long ago.

Grief is silent, deliberately failing to announce the start of the act as the lights dim and the music starts,

“Ladies and Gentlemen, take your seats and hang on for you are about to take the ride of your life!”  You are going to grieve now,  going into a dark place, alone, silent, and desperate, and only the announcer announces the conclusion.”

Grief, instead, commences.

Grief lingers,  inviting itself to lodge into the tormented heart tucked away in a quiet corner where thoughts are rarely examined for fear of remembering.  Grief drains the soul of thought, purpose, and energy to dance forward step by step as it harasses the mind and closes the curtain on dreams and desires.

Grief clothes itself with many costumes tricking you so you don’t recognize its presence.  It dresses up like a bad actor on a vaudeville stage with no rhyme or reason for the confusing acts it’s about to play on you.

Grief torments quietly as the soul depletes itself of the last of its tears, or so you think. When the last tear bottles fill, and are placed neatly on a shelf, grief slips away silently to visit another day.

Grief is tricked as it arrogantly fooled itself to believe it was the main character, but in fact was just a daydreaming cleaning lady on her hands and knees washing the stage with a scrub brush, the painful loss of a loved one’s foot prints of a life played out to the last bow and final curtain close.

Grief has its necessary role on stage, but only after the audience has left and the lights are out as it silently cleans, scrubs, polishing and pushing aside the mourner’s song of sorrow and brings to center stage the commemoration of a life lived.

Grief sees no, “The End” for now, just To be continued . . . .

Dedicated to my brother whose final week of life was lived this very week two years ago.  1961-2010

Plato said, “The penalty for good men not involving themselves in politics is that evil men will rise up to rule over them.”

It’s election season again, and I have already heard in less than 12 hours from a few Heavenly minded and pious Christians,

“His Kingdom is not of this world, so I am not going to involve myself in politics.”

Can’t ya hear the angels singing???

Shame on YOU! So while American families lose their jobs, homes, savings and lifestyles that America has not seen since the late 1920s, some Christians are still declaring their non-involvement in politics EVEN THOUGH they prosper financially when a good man does gain control of the white house, like Ronald Reagan for example! Some christians can actually say they had nothing to do with electing the 20th Century’s greatest president and the financial boom that took place in the ’80s and ’90s because of his work and the work of Congress.

“His kingdom is not of this world,” they proudly declare, “thus I will have nothing to do with politics!” I have been listening to this baloney for over 20 years from christians with their escapist “rapture” attitude and denial of the evil filth going on around their churches and homes.

Not only do these christians not vote, they don’t involve themselves in ANY of the ills around them. They don’t lift ONE finger to help lighten the load for anyone.

The Church has been locked behind its doors doing nothing in this country for over 100 years now while blessed pastors brainwash their congregants that “His Kingdom is not of this world” and this Nation is seeing their evil fruit of this wicked selfish doctrine!

These Christians who claim that His Kingdom is NOT of this world do not understand what those words mean and miss the point entirely.

We are not to operate like the world operates which doesn’t mean we hide, scared of the world, behind our 1000 pound locked church doors. It means we don’t ACT like thieves, liars and murderers as the world ACTS. We are to be light and salt and be active in our communities. But the fact is that the church has just as much divorce, and abortion as the world does and remained SILENT as Roe v wade was passed into law AFTER the Ten Commandments were ripped off the school house walls!

The reason I left the Church never to return was EXACTLY because the mega church pastor with his diamond studded belt and alligator shoes and Mercedes Benz car would lead worship militantly singing, “We are the army of God” while prostitution, drugs, porno shops, child abuse, gun fire, serial killers and and abortion clinics were surrounding the church and operating without any resistance from the so called “army of God! Some army! A quivering, only interested in “peace, safety, making a buck and building their little kingdoms” army from the way I look at it!

I spent so many years in front of the local abortion clinic even in freezing temps, hot weather and women literally screaming at me one inch from my face, spitting on me, and all I wanted my pastor to do was pray for me, lay hands on me and pray for my safety. The mega church businessman wouldn’t even do that! I have heard 100s of christians, when confronted, over abortion, flippantly say to me,

“Oh I’ll pray about it dear.”

No you won’t, so stop your lying! You are scared and you make these false claims that you are of His Kingdom??? HE DIED FOR YOU after HIS FACE WAS MARRED BEYOND ALL RECOGNITION AND THE SKIN ON HIS BACK WAS TORN OFF ALL THE WAY TO HIS BONES! So don’t DARE tell me YOU are going to pray about involving yourself in a cultural slaughter. Every time some Christians are asked to get involved in a political issue and they refuse another person dies! DOES THAT NOT EVEN BOTHER ANYONE? Apparently not!

While Christians stay locked behind their rapture mentality another family loses their job, house, and their way of life because Christians either vote for a marxist because they can’t think and discern properly or they don’t involve themselves at all. Obama won because of the in action of Heavenly minded Christians! Oh, can’t you hear the angels sing now? I actually hear them weep!

Don’t these christians understand that God CALLS some into politics?? Is this calling less important than being a pastor businessman of a mega church?? Don’t these self professed Christians believe the actual words,

“Thy kingdom come, they will be done ON EARTH as it is in Heaven”?

Does this not mean anything, or are they just EMPTY words to some of you that ignorantly mumble them to the Creator???

When you pray this prayer do you mean it? Or are you just babbling this prayer like the pagans do because you have no understanding of them?

What if Y’shua had your attitude that He wasn’t of this world so He didn’t bother to come down here to lay down His life for you? He didn’t have to come down here, ya know! But He did. HE ACTED. He didn’t use an excuse, that “He was not of this world!” He didn’t just “pray about it!”

In fact, Y’shua will be judging between the sheep and goats of all nations that do HIS WILL or not do HIS WILL.

“In as much as you have done it to the least of these, MY BRETHREN, you have done it to Me.”

The flip side works to, people:

“In as much as you have NOT done it to the least of these, MY BRETHREN, you have NOT done it to me.”

I know, I know, it’s not your ministry, right? You weren’t called to get involved, right? Oh, but it is your ministry and you WERE called!!!!

Either you mean these words in faith or you are not in faith. If it truly is a prayer of faith then you would ACT like your life depended on it. True faith PRODUCES ACTION! No action means no faith! FAITH WITHOUT WORKS IS DEAD!

Come on, Sing louder!

Proverbs 24:11 “RESCUE those being led away to death; HOLD BACK those staggering toward slaughter.”

As the Jews were being stuffed into boxcars being led to their slaughter, the mega church pastors would tell their congregations “Singt ein wenig lauter!” (“Sing a little louder!”) while the trains pass by!

When Y’shua does return to rule and reign HERE on earth, those who opened their mouths declaring that they would pray about observing His Word will be judged on that sin!

Scripture COMMANDS us to OCCUPY until His return. Is ignoring the dying world around you occupying or cowering? The secular Marxist have no problem occupying but YOU DO???

Voting is such a small thing that a Christian can do. Small in comparison to trying to save the life of a baby, or a Jew, or witnessing to a muslim, or educating yourself on issues. Voting is so small compared to street witnessing, making meals for the elderly shut ins, or providing for unwed mothers. Voting is so small compared to all of that. And some of these Christians can’t even do that!

They are operating just like the world does while they rationalize the lie that, “voting is of this world!”

If what they say is true then so is working, being entertained, shopping, watching tv, or going to football games and going on vacations.

Voting is a vital part of being a Citizen of the Kingdom of God for those of us who have been placed in this Republic where God so graciously allowed US to be born in. YOU could have been born in North Korea or Iran but you weren’t. You were allowed to be born here where you have the right to be lazy or be Salt and Light!

So you have a choice, you can sing louder while your neighbors are going to hell or losing everything in their lives that they worked for OR you can help by being salt and light in this world by starting out and educating yourselves about the candidates who can help to bring back our nation from utter destruction.

And spare me the bull line that “these candidates are all the same!” NO, THEY ARE NOT! Comrade Obama is NOT the same as any of these GOP candidates! There is NO way that they would have allowed this financial destruction to be worse that it had to be if they were in charge.

Take a look at Texas, people! It’s booming down here! WHY???? Because the Governor is a man of faith and action!

There is NO way that any of these candidates would deny an opportunity to create jobs for their fellow countrymen!

VOTE! It’s the least you can do!

The gub'ment did this to free men, and free men allowed it to happen!

NC Sez: I found this old piece in a computer file and was asked to go ahead and post it even though it is in regards to past elections. No matter what election cycle it is, the spirit and motivations of elections seem to never change.  Has America had enough of the parasite class?  We will see. 

***

I hate election season, and as a campaign manager that seems backwards, but let me explain myself. I am a conservative, an angry, fed up conservative. It’s hard to find candidates for me to support as a campaign manager let alone to vote for. When I do find a candidate to support and vote for MY Republican party will always pick the flaming RINO every time and give nothing to the real conservative, but their sneers, jeers and giggles. The Republican party is no longer a party for conservatives, but power trippin’, soft libs trying to vie for the moderate democratic vote.

I think the Republican leadership is into self sabotage these days and could really use a good 12 step program to relieve their need to people-please and seek approval from Democrats who will never, ever support them even if their very lives depended on the opposing party!

I am sick of Republicans who try and paint themselves as “compassionate” conservatives as if conservatives are NOT compassionate. Conservatives are the epitome of compassionate NOT Democrats who have redefined compassion.

The Socialist, Progressive, Liberal Democrats stand on platforms from one side of this country to the other preaching their lofty notions of compassion on others. Let’s review their idea of compassion on the middle class: Rich, liberal, socialites comfort the listener by promising that their taxes wont go up.

“Fear not,” they lie, “We are only going to tax the rich!”

Even though the Socialist’s definition of “rich”  starts at $50,000 a year.

Yes, the listener hears the Democrat say,

“I’m for the people, and I won’t raise your taxes, and I will give you what ever your little heart desires! Trust me. I know what you need.”

I live in a state where the governor ran on this same lying platform.

“We’re only going to tax the rich, so don’t worry you middleclassers,” she preached.

I’m not rich. I’m middle class. We have one spouse working in our family and we want to keep it like that. We want to choose who works in our family, but instead we are being FORCED to both work because of the high cost of government and all of the other rent seekers.

Our “middle class” income has been squeezed for more taxes since this vicious, violent, cowardly, political whore (Christine Gregoire – Wa. state Governor) stole the election in 2004, and we have more tax increases on the way. Her thiefdom isn’t over yet.

You may ask, “Why do I use such harsh language?”

Vicious means she and her ilk take away property that is owned by hard working property owners and wage earners and award such booty to those who have not earned it.

Violent because they do this ultimately through force. They will resort to using force through the police powers of the state if fraud does not accomplish their aforementioned vicious goals of unjust wealth and income redistribution from the production to the parasite class. This is not rich v. poor, it’s productive v. parasite!

Cowardly because she and others like her will not behave this way themselves, but they will hire someone else to do their dirty work for her and her friends in government.

Whore because she gets paid to represent many well connected special interests within the government- judicial-educational complex.

This is pure plunder and can never be justified to any thoughtful, rational and compassionate human being.

An entire government is built upon the foundation of the violation of the 10th Commandment, “Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s goods” (Exodus 20: 17).

When she stated that she wasn’t going to raise the middle class taxes she wasn’t talking about me, and folks like me in the private sector middle class, she was referring to those middle class leaches who work for government or illegal public unions; she wasn’t going to raise THEIR taxes! In fact, she has given them all raises and increased government too!

There are only three ways to transfer wealth, but only one way that is earned. The just method of earned wealth is to provide equal value of goods and services in a mutually beneficial agreement for the wealth received.

The other two ways is theft and charity.

We endure theft under the false flag of charity. They don’t fly a Jolly Roger, but rather they say,

“We’re doing it for the children!”

Where are the Republicans? They have a great opportunity to speak the truth to unjust power, but they are too busy recruiting liberal lights to run for office, and doing their fair share of violating the 10th commandment by feeding at the trough, and helping themselves gain wealth at the public’s expense. They are as oblivious to the forgotten American as the outright socialist, progressive, liberal Democrats not withstanding their protest to the contrary, just observe their actions.

So,  I hate election season! I hate the debates, the ads, every thing!  It’s the same-ole- same-ole–nothing ever changes just the faces!
