Reader: Daniel Agee Teacher: Jeff Quackenbush Thought questions addressed in the recorded discussion Matthew 24 part 2 Do the disciples really understand what Yeshua is trying to tell them? What is the running message of the Book of Matthew? How does this help us understand the message of Matt. 24? How does Daniel 11-12 as well as Zechariah 14 explain the "abomination that causes desolation"? How does a lack of humility and an tolerance of arrogance precede the Day of the Lord? Are the events foretold in Matthew 24 limited geographically to the territory of the Roman Empire, the Land of Israel or the whole world? Which are the 70 nations, and what does that have to do with the "good news being preached to the whole world"? What are the parallels between this chapter and Daniel 11? Why does Yeshua (Jesus) repeat the warning about false messiahs and false prophets three times? (Matt. 24:5, 11, 24) What are the hallmarks of the people's hearts each of the times the temple was left desolate, by Babylon, by Greece and by Rome? What is the "strong delusion" mentioned in Matt. 24:24? What does Deuteronomy 13 tell us about how to test prophets? How does the test fit with Matt. 24:5, 11, 24? What does Yeshua want us to understand about the "abomination of desolation" in Matt. 24:15? What is the connection between the description of corpses and scavenging birds in Matt. 24:28 and the description of the Battle of Armageddon in Rev. 19:19-21? Where do the corpses fit into the signs and wonders? How does Joel 2 help explain the reference to the sun, moon and stars in Matt. 24:29? What does the reference to "one was taken and the other left" in Matt. 24:40-41 really mean? How does Matt. 24:39 explain whether one wants to be among those taken or left?

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.) Hallel Fellowship no 42:45
