| Exod. 12:1-7 |
"Now the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron in the land of
Egypt, saying, 'This month shall be your beginning of months; it shall be the
first month of the year to you. Speak to all the congregation of Israel,
saying: "On the tenth day of this month every man shall take for himself a
lamb, according to the house of his father, a lamb for a household. And if the
household is too small for the lamb, let him and his neighbor next to his house
take it according to the number of the persons; according to each man's need
you shall make your count for the lamb. Your lamb shall be without blemish, a
male of the first year. You may take it from the sheep or from the goats. Now
you shall keep it until the fourteenth day of the same month. Then the whole
assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it at twilight. And they
shall take some of the blood and put it on the two doorposts and on the lintel
of the houses where they eat it." ' "
 Note: When I saw the people of Israel were
instructed to kill the offering on the fourteenth day, and to strike the
doorposts and lintel of their houses so the plague of death passed over them, I
realized it was a likeness of Christ, and tied in with a teaching from Israel.

| Isa. 55:3-4 |
"Incline your ear, and come to Me.
Hear, and your
soul shall live;
And I will make an everlasting
covenant with you -
The sure mercies of David.
Indeed I have given him as a witness
to
the people,
A leader and commander for the people." |
| Matt. 1:1,17 |
"The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the Son
of David, the Son of Abraham:... So all the generations from Abraham to David
are fourteen generations, from David until the captivity in Babylon are
fourteen generations, and from the captivity in Babylon until the Christ are
fourteen generations." |

"So He came to Nazareth, where He had been
brought up. And as His custom was, He went into the synagogue on the
Sabbath day, and stood up to read. And He was handed the book of the prophet
Isaiah. And when He had opened the book, He found the place where it was
written:
'The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me,
Because He has anointed Me to preach
the gospel to the poor.
He has sent Me to heal the
brokenhearted,
To preach deliverance to the captives
And recovery of sight to the blind,
To set at liberty those who are
*oppressed, (downtrodden)
To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.' (Isa. 61:1-2)
Then He closed
the book, and gave it back to the attendant and sat down. And the eyes of all
who were in the synagogue were fixed on Him. And He began to say to them,
'Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.' So all bore
witness to Him, and marveled at the gracious words which proceeded out of His
mouth. And they said, 'Is this not Joseph's son?' And He said to them,
'You will surely say this proverb to Me, "Physician, heal yourself!
Whatever we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in Your country." '
Then He said, 'Assuredly, I say to you, no prophet is accepted in
his own country. But I tell you truly, many widows were in Israel in the days
of Elijah, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, and there
was a great famine throughout all the land; but to none of them was Elijah sent
except to *Zarephath (Gr. Sarepta) , in the region of Sidon, to a woman
who was a widow. And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Elisha the
prophet, and none of them was cleansed except Naaman the Syrian.' Then
all those in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with
*wrath (rage), and rose up and thrust Him out of the city; and they led Him to
the brow of the hill on which their city was built, that they might throw Him
down over the cliff. Then passing through the midst of them, He went His
way."
This Nazareth Synagogue floor is the original floor that
Jesus walked on when He was a boy (13) and a man.

| John 8:53-58 |
" 'Are you greater than our father Abraham, who is
dead? And the prophets are dead. Whom do You make Yourself out to be?' Jesus
answered, 'If I honor Myself, My honor is nothing. It is My Father who honors
Me, of whom you say that He is your God. Yet you have not known Him, but I know
Him. And if I say, "I do not know Him," I shall be a liar like you; but I do
know Him and keep His word. Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and he
saw it and was glad.' Then the Jews said to Him, 'You are not yet fifty years
old, and have You seen Abraham?' Jesus said to them, 'Most assuredly, I say to
you, before Abraham was, I AM.' Then they took up stones to throw at Him, but
Jesus hid Himself and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them,
and so passed by." |
| Israel insight |
Paster Claud Ezagouri of the Morning Star Fellowship in Tiberias, Israel shared that in Gematria, the Hebrew numeric value of words, David is 4-6-4, which equals 14. Pastor Claude said three times 14 for the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. We were told a Rabbi would know immediately! They were enraged because He was saying "I Am God."
Note: The Lord was letting His people know He had come as that
spotless lamb, and His blood would be an atonement for their sins, and the sins
of the entire world. Fascinating. |
