Hindsight can be a beautiful thing but sometimes hindsight blinds us rather than illuminates us. As the people of Israel are ready to leave Egypt for good, they have little idea of the epic journey has in store for them. As we read the story of Yeshua’s life in the New Testament, we have the same benefit and “curse” of hindsight as we read about the last few weeks of his life. We tend to be a little judgmental towards His favorite disciples because of they lacked a true understanding of Yeshua’s mission until after His death and resurrection. Today, ignore hindsight and discover some truths in these stories that hindsight otherwise obscures.

At the time of the Exodus, YHWH (God’s personal name in Hebrew, often translated as “the LORD”) told the people of Israel to have a “lamb for a household” (Exodus 12:3). Usually 10 people could manage to consume a whole lamb. Smaller groups joined together to form a chaverim, Hebrew for “a group of friends,” and that formed a mishpokhah, “a family group.” Paul talks about believers being the “household of God” (1st Timothy 3:15) because there is a “lamb for the household.” The lamb was originally the firstborn of the flock. Parallel to that, Messiah Y’shua (Jesus) is the firstborn of God (Colossians 1:15). Once the Passover was centralised in Jerusalem, those living far away were permitted to sell their lambs at home and then purchase a lamb in the Temple at Jerusalem (Deuteronomy 14:25-26). Y’shua was purchased in the Temple by some of the Pharisees for 30 pieces of silver from Judas who sold Him. Later in Israel’s history, the king provided the lamb during the major periods of reform (2nd Chronicles 30:24 and 35:6). YHVH, King of the Universe, provided Y’shua, the Passover Lamb “who takes away the sin of the whole world” (John 1:29, 1st Corinthians 5:17). The Passover lamb was chosen on the 10th day of Israel’s first month, called Nisan or Aviv, which is Hebrew for the month of “green ears” of barley in spring. The lamb was kept in the Temple precincts for four days to be examined for faults. Y’shua was in the Temple for four days before Pesakh, Hebrew for “Passover," being questioned and examined by the chief priests, and Pharisees (Luke 20-21). No fault was found in Him. Pilate said three times, “I find no fault in this man” (John 18:38, Jn. 19:4-6). Y’shua would have entered Jerusalem with the lambs that had been chosen for Passover. We know from Josephus that over 250,000 lambs were slaughtered during Pesakh in the 1st century. This would have taken place all day. It would have been very noisy, smelly and dirty. Y’shua was identifying Himself with the lambs and it was a picture of the nature/cost of sin. From its inception, the Pesakh, referring to the lamb alone, was understood to have a prophylactic, or covering, effect. The Passover sacrifice was a zebah shelamim, Hebrew for “peace” or “communion” offering. In other words, it restored a right relationship between God and man, and the blood of the lamb was understood as having a covering effect. The blood of the lamb in Exodus 12 was stuck on the doorway — lintel and two sides forming the Hebrew letter khet. The opening of the door would have been completely smeared with blood — representing that a death had already taken place within. (This is what convinced the makhit, Hebrew for the destroying angel of the 10th plague, to pass over those inside.) Y’shua was crucified on a stake that stood upright in the ground. The beam He carried was the crossbar to which his hands were nailed. There was a groove in the top of the upright stake into which the crossbar was dropped with Y’shua already nailed to it. The blood on His head and hands corresponds to the lintel and the two sides. The Hebrew letter chet is the first letter in the word chai, which means “life.” When the Hebrews fled out of their homes after the angel of death passed over their houses, they passed from death to life through the “door of life.” In John 10:9, Y’shua tells us He is the “Door” to “Abundant Life”! Not one bone of the Passover lamb was to be broken (Exodus 12:46). Y’shua’s bones were left unbroken as He gave up His spirit and died before the soldiers broke the legs of the crucified men to hasten death (John 19:31-32). (The victim had to push up on their legs in order to breathe.)
