The central theme is that the Old Testament, particularly Hebrews 11, is replete with types and foreshadowings of Jesus Christ, revealing Him as the ultimate fulfillment of God's promises and the central figure of all Scripture, rather than a means to earthly prosperity.

I think that the thing that makes this
series finding Jesus in the Old
Testament so exciting is that it's like
rediscovering the greatness and wonder
of the Bible and it's not a new theology
no no it's what's always been there
always been available to us but it's not
like some some teachers let's be honest
they dig it they dip into the Scriptures
and then they have to figure out a way
to make this Bible passage about your
wealth right your physical health your
material wealth your job your family
your marriage your kids it has to fit in
all the spheres of your life
and I can't tell you how many teachers
I've heard where no matter what verse
they go to you know it's gonna be
applied in those like five sectors like
health wealth family job marriage you
know it's gonna be you know God's gonna
use this to bless your health
bless your well you're gonna have
prosperity and I'm so tired of this the
Bible is about Jesus like if there's
anything that we can we can every at
least every major section of Scripture
we can bring some application to is
Jesus this is what revelation 19 says it
says that the testimony of Jesus is the
spirit of prophecy so that it excites me
to go through Hebrews 11 now continuing
through Hebrews 11 because it's an
amazing inspiring Christ glorifying Hall
of types or Hall of foreshadowings of
Jesus I really think in all honesty
every single thing that's mentioned
relates in somehow to Jesus Christ in
Hebrews 11 and a building the case for
that last week we talked about the first
20 verses or 19 verses and I'll put a
link in the video description for that
and this week we're picking up in verse
20 so we've already talked about how
creation is a type of Christ how Abel
was a type of Christ how Enoch was a
type of Christ Noah's Ark Abraham
Sarah's pregnancy Isaac we've already
dealt with all that now are in verse 20
and it says by faith Isaac invoked
future blessings on Jacob and Esau how
is this a type of Christ well if you
look at Isaac's blessing on Jacob then
first thing you have to recognize right
is Abraham Isaac Jacob these are the patriarchs
patriarchs
these are Abraham the the the
the Jewish nation Isaac the one through
whom his offspring would go and then
then it goes down to Jacob and Jacob
whose name was changed to Israel from
whom the twelve tribes come from whom
all of Israel gets their name the
Israelites and so we're looking at
here's the patriarchs and in this
passage it's about Isaac invoking future
blessings on Jacob and Esau he's
literally before he dies it was a
tradition he would put his hands upon
his sons and he pray for God's blessings
like imparting like a spiritual
inheritance to them as opposed to just a
physical inheritance or some kind of a
spiritual thing going on there so he
blesses them in Galatians 3:16 we
learned that the blessings the promises
that came from Abraham Isaac and Jacob
ultimately they relate to Jesus Christ
so I've already got a case for typology
here in Galatians 3:16 it says now the
promises were made to Abraham and to his offspring
offspring
it does not say into offsprings plural
referring to many but referring to one
and to your offspring who is Christ
so already Paul is giving us the
inspiration of the Holy Spirit is giving
us the fact that this promise in Abraham
relates directly to Jesus so here we are
we're at the death of Isaac and as
Isaac's dying he passes on a promise a
blessing that came originally from
Abraham he passes it on to his sons and
it's ultimately about Jesus we already
know that much so I think we can say
already that this verse Isaac invoked
future blessings on Jacob and Esau this
is already Tippa logical based on
Galatians 3:16 but let's look at the
blessing so that's in Genesis chapter 27
in Genesis 27 we'll just look at verses
27 through 29 this is when he actually
places his hands upon them and he
blesses them Genesis 27 27 so he came
near and kissed him and Isaac smelled
the smell of his garments and blessed
him and said now remember this is kind
of a controversial section of the
scripture here because Jacob and Esau
well they played a switcheroo
well Esau didn't do it on purpose Jacob
is imitating Esau but I'm going to put
that to the side
because we're focusing on the promise
not on the whole drama that was going on
there so he smells the smell of his
garments and he smells like the field
and so he says see the smell of my son
is as the smell of a field that the Lord
has blessed how would I relate this to
Jesus Mike you're just you've got to be
making stuff up man you can't connect
this to Jesus actually I think I can and
I think I can do it pretty easily in
Scripture the original cursing upon the
land itself came from God when Adam and
Eve ate of the fruit right Adam because
of what you've done the ground is cursed
the ground is cursed and Isaac looks at
his smells his son and he says the smell
of a field that God has blessed and if
these promises ultimately connect to
Jesus it's almost as though this is a
foreshadowing of the fact that in Adam
the field is cursed but in Christ the
blessing is brought back and so we have
a new heaven and new earth ultimately
made from Christ and that is the
blessing in there now there's
descriptions actually consistent on this
in Romans 8 we read about how it's not
only Adam and Eve that fell but all of
creation was drugged down with them and
how Jesus is not only gonna rescue those
who come to him in faith like we're
gonna be saved but he's gonna fix the
earth as well ultimately recreating it
but Romans 8 verse 19 it says for the
creation waits eagerly longed for the
revealing of the sons of God so creation
itself is waiting for us to be revealed
the sons of God phrases of course guys
and girls it's not just talking about
boys before the creation was subjected
to futility not willingly but because of
him who subjected it in hope that
subjected to futility was when Adam ate
of the fruit and got cursed the ground
on behalf of Adam well the ground will
be blessed on behalf of Christ that the
creation itself will be set free from
its bondage to corruption and obtain the
freedom of the glory of the children of God
God
for we know that the whole creation has
been groaning together in the pains of
childbirth until now and we see the
effects of the fall are not only in us
but there in the world itself with
basically how messed up things are maybe
this is even talking about the weather
cycle and things like this you know
there's these groanings verse 23 and not
only the creation but we ourselves who
have the firstfruits of the Spirit groan
inwardly as we wait eagerly for the for
adoption as sons the redemption of our
bodies so when we are renewed restored
then the earth is gonna be restored
ultimately in Christ so I I see a
connection in Genesis 27 27 where he
says the smell of my son is as the smell
of a field that the Lord has blessed
that ultimately just as though it was
cursed in Adam so will be blessed in Christ
Christ
and then as he goes on Issac speaking he
says in verse 28 may God give you of the
dew of heaven and of the fatness of the
earth and plenty of grain and wine let
peoples serve you and nations bow down
to you be lord over your brothers and
may your mother's sons bow down to you
cursed be everyone who curses you and
blessed be everyone who blesses you now
I think every single phrase in verse 28
and 29 is true of Jesus specifically so
need to kind of unpack how I see that
the dew of heaven and the fatness of the
earth and plenty of grain and wine will
be his and you might be like how is this
Christ well I think this is speaking
about the Messianic Kingdom of Christ
when we read about this in scripture
about how there will be this incredible
plenty when Jesus himself is reigning
upon the earth this is a premillennial
view this is we believe this millennium
is actually coming and so the dew of
heaven the fatness of the earth grain
and wine this is a future thing but
there's more people's will serve you and
nations bow down to you these are these
are his final words ultimately to Jacob
right well when Jacob I'll jump forward
when he gives his final words to his
sons he says this in genesis 49:10
because where the promise is kind of
carrying from father to son father to
son and genesis 49:10 he says the
scepter shall not depart from judah nor
the ruler's staff from between his feet
until tribute comes to him and to him
shall be the obedience of the peoples
now this the ancient rabbis would agree
this was a messianic passage this is
that ultimately not just about judah was
about shiloh or the ultimate Messiah in
the ESV they translate it until tribute
comes to him
but other translations put that as
Shiloh there's a debate about what it
means but they did agree it was about
Messiah so then there's this people's
being obedient past to Jacob and then
passed to Judah and ultimately fulfilled
in the Messiah who is the king from the
tribe of Judah
so the people's will be obedient to him
so Israel it's like they're carrying
this messianic promise throughout time
and Christ comes and fulfills it
ultimately so that's the people serving
the nation's bowing down Christ of
course has we're bowing down now I mean
how many people and how many nations bow
down to the glory of Christ and how much
that will even increase in the future he
goes on to say that Jacob is going to be
lord over your brothers and may your
mothers sons bow down to you now this is
passed on then to Joseph where Joseph
has dreams
remember his two dreams and it's about
his brothers bowing down to him and even
his mom and dad and he has these dreams
and ultimately we see him as a type of
Christ and we see this as a Christ
centered promise so how does this relate
to Jesus well in a couple ways there are
two brothers of Jesus we read about in
the Bible who actually wrote books in
our New Testament did you know that
James and Jude James 1:1 and Jude 1 I I
say Jew ones only one chapter in Jude so
we don't say to one one you can its just
redundant there's only one chapter so
Jude verse 1 and James 1:1 both of them
start their their epistles the same way
they don't go hey it's me I'm the brother
brother
they say I'm the servant of the Lord Jesus
Jesus
his mother's sons bow down to him well
that's interesting isn't it his mother's
sons bow down to him but of course
ultimately we see not only is it
fulfilled just specifically James and
Jude but we see Christ at every knee
will bow at the name of Jesus Christ the
highest possible fulfillment is of
course 10 G's in Jesus to whom everyone
will bow down then it says this curse
Sid I love this curse it'd be everyone
who curses you and blessed to be
everyone who blesses you now many times
we think about this as being the Israel
promise you know to Abraham to his sons
to ultimately the nation of Israel
blessed them and God bless you curse
them God will curse you and I think
all the promises were ultimately in
Christ right and is in Jesus he the
dividing line between whether you will
be blessed by God or cursed by God it's
how you treat Jesus so blessed to be
those who blessed you cursed those who
curse you that's the ultimate like
fulfillment fulfillment of this it's
true that later think about this -
there's a there's a relation to the law
we see the law as being somehow inferior
to Christ as he fulfills the law and
does it so much better but in the law
when Moses gives the law he has this
moment where he tells the people to
separate into two groups and sit on
either side of a mountain and then he
has the rest of the people go through
the pathway between the two the valley
between the two mountains and on one
side of the mountain they call out the
blessings of obeying the law and on the
other side of the mountain they call it
the curses if they disobey the law so
blessed Kerr said blessed if you do this
cursed if you do that and of course they
all failed so they're all all are under
the curse of the lies many as sin or
under the curse of the law collations
tells us so we have this this later
thing where the blessing and cursing
seems to come through the law ah but
there was a previous promise that
supersedes it right blessed be him who
blesses you
cursed be him who curses you so we
focusing on Jesus if I'm gonna do it
performance wise I'm under a curse but
if I'm if my life is so ultimately about
blessing Christ about knowing Christ
then I get to receive that blessing so
that's kind of interesting it's it's in
the same sense that Abraham before the
law of works was given Abraham was
justified by faith he just believed and
was accounted to him as righteousness
and four hundred plus years later the
law shows up well they can't undo that
whole faith get get righteous by faith
thing so the law comes later and it says
cursed if you disobey blessed if you
obey well that can't undo this whole
cursed and blessed based upon how you
treat him and who's the ultimate hem of
the promised Jesus so I'm just like yeah
that's cool you know it's just the the
marrying of Scripture together if he's
in 624 says this grace be with all who
love our Lord Jesus within with love
incorruptible and reckless I'm just
kidding it doesn't it didn't say that
that's the pastor translation in first
Corinthians 16:22 it says if anyone has
no love for the Lord let him be accursed
so it's how you treat Jesus you're
blessed or cursed depend on how you
treat Jesus in John 3:18 it says whoever
believes in Him is not condemned but
whoever does not believe is condemned
already because he's not believed in the
name of the only Son of God so the
blessing and curses fall down depending
on how I treat Jesus and now that may be
a new way of understanding when God says
to Abraham blessed are those who bless
you curse those who curse you it's true
of Abraham is true the people of Israel
and it's most true in the most fullest
sense of Jesus who is the ultimate
object of the promise of all those promises
promises
verse 21 just one verse so let's keep going
going
by faith Jacob when dying blessed each
of the sons of Joseph bowing in worship
over the head of his staff so we talked
about Isaac and we read about how he
blessed Jacob now we're gonna read about
how Jacob blesses his sons um now that's
this happens in Genesis 48 Genesis
chapter 48 and in Genesis 48 he starts
before blessing them by recounting some
of his life story and I think it's
interesting because Hebrews has brought
this issue up so let's look at it
Genesis 48 3 it says and Jacob said to
Joseph god almighty appeared to me atlas
in the land of Canaan and blessed me and
he before bringing a blessing to his
sons he reminds them of the blessing God
gave him so he's kind of passing it
forward right but this is the Jacob's
Ladder event that he's referring to so
in blessing his sons the first thing he
does is he brings up a type of Christ
where he sees the ladder and the angels
of God going it up and down - sinning
upon the ladder and Jesus in the Gospels
he relates the ladder to himself he says
you will see them descending upon me
that I am the access point between
heaven and earth so already we have a
type in that but in Genesis 48 verse 15
and 16 we read about the actual blessing
that he gives is as any blessed Joseph
and said God before whom my father's my
father's Abraham and Isaac walked the
God who has been my Shepherd all my life
long to this day
the angel
who has redeemed me from all evil bless
the boys now this he has a passage we
went over several weeks ago
I don't know was like a year ago
something like that it feels like it was
several weeks ago and this is one of
those sort of like deity of Christ
passages because it's the angel of the
Lord who he talks about but look at the
terminology he goes the god before who
my father's Abraham and Isaac walked the
God who has been my Shepherd all my life
long to this day that's the same being
right they says the angel who is redeem
me from all evil well grammatically
that's the same being the angel is this
is the God well it was the angel of the
Lord who he met and so the angel of the
Lord is of course God and Jesus yeah
so that's verse 21 let's look at verse
22 as we can continue our typological
examination Hebrews 11 this is by faith
Joseph at the end of his life now we're
just talking about people dying mostly
in Hebrews 11 at this point right so now
at the end of his life made mention of
the Exodus and of the Israelites and
gave directions concerning his bones
concerning his bones this we read about
in Genesis chapter 50 at the end of the
book unless you have the Joseph Smith
version where he added several verses at
the end of Genesis so he could have
prophecy about himself
but in Genesis 50 verse 24 it says and
Joseph said to his brothers I'm about to
die but God will visit you and bring you
up out of this land to the land that he
swore to Abraham to Isaac and to Jacob
then Joseph made the sons of Israel
swear or promised saying God will surely
visit you and you shall carry up my
bones from here so Joseph died being 110
years old they embalmed him typical
Egyptian custom and he was put in a
coffin in Egypt so he dies in hope the
idea here is that he died in hope that
God would fulfill his promise and that
his his bones were to be carried into
the Promised Land now later in Judaism
the treatment of the bones was all about
the resurrection like the direction in
which they were buried where the
location this is why the the prime
burial ground would be right there in
front of the east gate of Jerusalem in
that Cemetery that's right there you can
google images of it because it's like
hey at the resurrection boom we're gonna
come alive right there
we'll be right there and so um so he
dies in Hope and Joseph's case though
interestingly we already talked about
how he's a type of Christ in so many
ways we did a whole thing on that he
dies outside the promised land in Egypt
but he's looking forward to the promise
and he too is literally gonna be raised
in that new life in that new promise and
he in a sense dies outside of the
promise for the sake of those who will
one day go in because that was why he
got carried away from his brothers why
he got delivered into Egypt that he
might deliver them so I see that as a
very simple type or foreshadowing of
Jesus Christ verse 23 by faith Moses now
we we dug way deep into Moses already so
I'm gonna do this a little less detail
because we've already covered a lot of
this material but it says by faith Moses
when he was born was hidden for three
months by his parents because they saw
that the child was beautiful and they
were not afraid of the king's edict by
faith Moses when he was grown up refused
to be called the son of Pharaoh's
daughter choosing rather to be
mistreated with the people of God than
to enjoy the fleeting pleasures of sin
so there's tons of stuff about Moses but
the the couple things that are mentioned
in Hebrews that relate to him is first
off he was hidden and you know being
attacked by the king the edict to kill
these Jewish babies and he was hidden
and saved from that and Jesus same
scenario right except now it's King
Herod and he's killing the the the
Bethlehem II and children if that's the
right term you know the ones that are in
the area of Bethlehem and we read about
that Matthew 2 verse 16 also the second
thing then is that he refused to be
called a son of Pharaoh he left his
place in Pharaoh's household being in
Pharaoh's household even being an
adopted kid was kind of a big deal you
know he was kind of a big deal and he he
was getting the royal treatment and so
he decides to leave that he abandons any
authority he has any rank he has and any
identification he has with the royal
house Moses abandons this when he
decides to identify with the Jewish
people and then ends up being kicked out
a gypped basic
exiled Jesus did something very similar
and just like Moses you know he didn't
have to Moses could it has been like you
guys are on your own like I'm sitting
pretty I'm in the royal house like God
must like me it doesn't like you but
just like that Jesus didn't have to come
and save us
but he condescended or brought himself
down low
Philippians to that passage we keep
bringing up where he brings it makes
himself a servant he gives up heaven to
come and be with us
hebrews chapter 1 verses 2 & 3 it says
I'm in the last days that God has spoken
to us by his son whom he appointed the
heir of all things through whom also he
created the world so we talk about his
glory Jesus already had the glory before
he ever came down unlike in say LDS
teaching Mormon theology Christ he
didn't have all that glory before he
came down he literally came down lived a
perfect life and then died and then got
glorified and was better off afterwards
than he was at first Christ no no he
just he just gave up so that he could
gain us so he's the radiance of the
glory of God and the exact imprint of
his nature and he upholds the universe
by the word of his power I mean you
can't get much more glory than that but
then in Hebrews 2:9 we read this but we
see him who for a little while was made
lower than the Angels namely Jesus
crowned with glory and honor because of
the suffering of death so that by the
grace of God he might taste death for
everyone the phrasing is really
interesting there right Jesus tastes
death the day you eat of it you shall
die the day they tasted of the fruit and
Jesus he tasted of the death for us so
that Adam Jesus thing which is not what
I'm talking about it sidetrack sorry
anyhow just as Moses left Pharaohs
household voluntarily being identified
with with slaves and being identified
with with the the chattel right so
Christ comes in is identified with us
the lowly the lowly verse 26 he
considered the reproach of Christ
greater wealth than the treasures of
Egypt for he was looking to the reward
and this is where as I mentioned before
I think this is where Hebrews
specifically call
it out like this is obviously a type of
Christ because it calls what Moses did
the reproach of Christ by identifying
with the Jewish people and leaving
Pharaoh's household now he's got the
reproach of Christ and has since the
Jewish people are the ones who got his
bringing Messiah through it really is
the reproach of Christ so he considers
the reproach of Christ greater wealth
and the treasures of Egypt
so Moses knew about God's future plans
for Israel and God's promises for them
which are ultimately about Messiah and
he considered that was better than
whatever wealth he had on Egypt so he
leaves it Hebrews 12:2 it tells us that
it was for the joy that was set before
him that Jesus endured the cross there
was something greater coming in the
future that that was what he was looking
forward to and that's consistent in
Hebrews 11 all these people are keeping
look they keep anticipating something
better they're giving up something on
this earth for something eternal
and so Jesus of course he came down to
rescue us you can listen to Jesus's
parables in Luke 15 where he talks about
the lost coin woman who lost a coin
searched everywhere to find it again the
the lost sheep the mayor he leaves the
99 to go find the one right or then
finally the lost son the parable of the
prodigal son who left his father and
when he came home there was this great
rejoicing and I think that the parallel
people like what is it this loss that's
being found well it's those who are lost
I came to seek and save the Lost
and so God's rejoicing and coming to
save us we're in a sense we are the joy
isaiah 53:11 it says about jesus
relating to looking to the reward this
is out of the anguish of his soul he
shall see and be satisfied by his
knowledge shall the righteous one my
servant make many to be accounted
righteous and he shall bear their
iniquities and so there's this he came
to save Casey didn't know that Jesus
came to save verse 27 by faith again
Moses he left Egypt not being afraid of
the anger of the King for he endured as
seeing him who is invisible there's two
elements here one he's not afraid of the
anger of the king and two he's like he's
it's as though he is seeing God as
seeing him who is invisible so let's
talk about those first the anger of the
King um in my mind this may relate to
literally the anger of the king like
God's wrath Jesus took upon himself our
sin and we read about Christ in the
Garden of Gethsemane and he's sweating
great drops of blood right now some
people go it was just a miraculous thing
only Jesus could do actually this is
something called himmat atrocious which
I probably pronounced wrong hema Ted
Rose's maybe probably keema something
like that but this is you can actually
you can google it this the idea is that
you you're under such great strain that
literally your blood vessels are
bursting and blood is coming out of your
pores not just sweat so sweating great
drops of blood though some of mocs the
bible like that doesn't happen this is
this is this is proof that they were
just making stuff up to make Jesus look
like more of a martyr and lo and behold
yeah that happens you know it happens
supposedly when people are dealing with
PTSD issues are on their way to face the
death penalty the night before their
struggling and unable to sleep that's
the kind of stuff that happens but do
you really think it was just the pain of
death because I think it had to do with
the shame of sin in fact that's what
Hebrews tells us in Hebrews 12 is that
he despised the shame the shame of it he
put our sins upon himself he who knew no sin
sin
sin and to me that might be related to
this anger of the king thingg very sober
thought to consider not just the
physical side of the cross which is
pretty hardcore when you think about it
but to consider the spiritual side of
the shame and the darkness of sin my sin
the things I've done wrong that have
stained my soul being put upon him I
can't imagine what that's like because
it wasn't just all of my sins it was all
sin it says also that Moses endured as
seeing him who is invisible and I think
he saw God in a limited sense we read
about this in Exodus where God says you
cannot see my face for man shall not see
me and live God let him like a partial
revelation a vision of God but it's
partial it's somehow limited but Christ
we read about the New Testament
how he's truly seen the father in all
ways and so John 1:18 no one has ever
seen God the only God who is at the
father's side he has made him known
another deity of Christ passage but also
just saying Christ
yea the full revelation of who God is is
being revealed to us in Christ no one
knows the father like the son so this is
the escalation side of typology right
Christ is it an escalated not just like
Moses but way beyond way beyond
everything Moses did was lesser Christ's
fulfillment of it is greater verse 28
this is exciting the Passover okay so by
faith he kept the Passover and sprinkled
the blood so that the destroyer of the
firstborn might not touch them and is
the Passover tip illogically about Jesus
yes like there cannot be debate on this
issue if you believe the Bible right so
I'm gonna give you if I counted right 14
points you have 14 points 14 point I
don't have enough fingers to even 14
points where the Passover relates to
Jesus so this is just rapid-fire you can
read about it in Exodus 12 and in other
passages and numbers as well I'm gonna
have to pass over some of the context
but I'll stick to ya then um okay so
number one the Passover was a lamb
right when Christ came he is compared to
the in fact it's the the announcement of
John the Baptist the forerunner for
Christ is behold the Lamb of God that
takes away the sin of the world again
escalation because no Lamb in any Old
Testament sacrifice took away the sin of
the world Christ is the fulfillment of
it all he does it all so he's a lamb
number two it had to be a male lamb it
had to be a male lamb girls this is not
prejudiced against you if you think and
if you think it is you may be slightly
oversensitive but so it's it's a male as
Jesus was now why is this significant
because in the Bible all of humanity's
ultimately represented by who Adam
because Adam was made first Eve was made
from Adam Adam represents both of them
right then all of us come from Adam and
Eve this is it seems more of the onus is
on Adam responsibility for eating of the
tree of the fruit there's debates on
what would it be like if Eve ate and
Adam didn't eat and my answer is I have
no idea
don't look at me like I would know the
answer to that question but go ahead and
debate it but but yeah it's it's
ultimately Adam in Adam all died in
Christ we are made alive so it had to be
a male I think the male is there
intentionally to be tip illogical of how
Christ would represent all of us as Adam
represented all of us number three the
lamb had to be without spot or blemish
without spot or blemish they couldn't
have anything wrong with it if I had
like like some weird mole growing off of
it you know like most of us do you know
like if it had something like that no no
can't it can't be it can't be use I had
a broken leg nope nothing can be wrong
with the lamb it's got to be as perfect
as you can get well you're not gonna get
a morally pure lamb but you can get a
ceremonially pure lamb to represent the
fact that Jesus is sinless so crisis
without spot or blemish number four it
was in substitute of their firstborn
that was the whole idea of the Passover
the angels gonna pass over and if this
lamb has been sacrificed properly then
nothing will happen if not your
firstborn will be struck why the
firstborn well in some sense you could
say oh it's about Pharaoh and it's about
he was he was worshipped his first
Born's worst
there's no this deification of these
characters of these people and God's
judging that he's showing himself true
and real and these other gods false but
ultimately Christ the only begotten of
God and so ultimately relates to him
just like the binding of issac God makes
your only son Isaac calls him his only
son when when when Abraham's got another
son why to draw that how it represents
Jesus Christ just like the Levites were
considered separated unto the Lord and
he calls them like Israel's firstborn
they're the they're in replacement of
the firstborn it's I'll take the Levites
and then the Levites stand there and
they offer on behalf of the people to
God to make intercession and so this
concept of firstborn is actually really
consistent in in the scriptures number
five you had to take this lamb into your
house and keep it with you it's really
interesting because you couldn't just
take the lamb and sacrifice it no you
had to take it to several days ahead of
time and you to receive it and keep it
with you for a few days that was just
part of the thing now some people say
maybe this was so the family would feel
the pain of sacrificing this animal
because the little kids were like oh
it's sweet tooth we found a goat when I
was a kid into sweet tooth and ate it
I'm just kidding we didn't eat it was on
Catalina Island we just said by sweet
tooth and we left so somebody else ate
it probably um side note but the idea of
keeping him in the house there had to be
a reception as this lamb had to be
received by the people you know to
themselves in a very special and
different way and so Christ must be received
received
he must be embraced in number six they
had to clear the leaven out of their
homes and they had to have this whole
meal that they would have when they
killed a lamb and ate it they had to eat
it with no leaven in any of the meal
that was very important leaven
represents pride or sin generally
speaking and so sinless Christ is
sinless number seven you could not break
its bones this lamb
you can't break its bones for any
purpose not because you want to eat the
marrow no this is a symbolic meal it's
very symbolic it's not even a fun meal I
did a Passover service one time with our
youth ministry where we actually ate
what they really ate of the original
Passover bitter herbs and all that not
not like the the new traditional Jewish
Passover where they add 500 extra things
that aren't in the Bible we just did the
biblical one it was like death this is a
growth meal and I was like yeah well
it's symbolic you get to teach a lesson
not be super yummy we'll go to
McDonald's later but one of the things
is you you can't break the bones of the
of the animal and Christ his bones were
unbroken on the cross they went to break
the bones to kill them more quickly and
Jesus was already dead his bones
remained unbroken and the Bible relates
this to that number 8 the animal had to
be slain are you you couldn't just you
couldn't just use a little bit of blood
right oh this that's all I needed now
you're good go ahead go away lamb you're
fine but the animal had to die because
the blood represents it's life that must
be killed and so Christ had to die for
us number 9 the blood of the Lamb was
placed on the door
the blood of the Lamb placed on the door
of the home now some people say that
this is representing the cross and maybe
it is what they would do is they would
take a branch of hyssop this plant and
they would dip it in the blood of the
Lamb then they would go to their door
and they had to put it on the doorpost
and lintel and everyone's like lintel
isn't that a beam no the that's the top
of the door right and then the sides of
the door so then they would go Wack Wack
Wack now they just had to touch it to
them they didn't have to paint the whole
door it just says touch it to them so
they touched it to them and those are
like the three points of the cross where
Christ is bleeding here here and here
and then you're like well his feet were
bleeding - well I guess if it dripped
from the bottom from the top to the
ground then it would actually be in the
shape of a cross and that may well be
the case I'm sure some of the houses
probably did look that way
they had like a blue cross of blood
across their doorway so the bloods
placed on the door and it's placed with
hyssop in particularly hyssop is an
interesting thing it's always used in
the Levitical law for cleansing purposes
and for like ceremonial spiritual
cleansing purposes and so the cleansing
of leprosy or the whole concept of the
red heifer I'm sorry I'm will get into
the whole red heifer thing tonight it's
just too much to talk about but
basically they would make this this
concoction of stuff they would use for
their ceremonial cleansing and they'd
burn his foot in it and then they'd
apply it with hyssop as well so his
stuffs like related to
cleansing which is why in Psalm 51 7 he
says purge me with hyssop and I shall be
clean but then later in Psalm 51 verse
16 he's like I'm not gonna offer you a
sacrifice so he's like God you offer the
sacrifice you purge me with hyssop I
have no sacrifice to give you Christ is
the ultimate sacrifice so there's a
there's another idea there
number 10 oh excuse me let me say this
the blood place on the door so judgment
was coming to the entire house but the
blood of the Passover lamb had to be
applied to the people or they would not
be saved from this judgment same as the
Krait the blood of Christ must be
applied to your life number 10 the the
blood oh that's number 10 actually the
blood applied is what saved them it was
specifically they had to apply the blood
so Exodus 20 or 12 verse 23 for the Lord
will pass through to strike the
Egyptians and when he sees the blood on
the lintel and on the two doorpost the
Lord will pass over the door and will
not allow the destroyer to enter your
houses to strike you so I had to be
applied to them they'd see them he'd see
the blood you're saved and so we have
been washed by the blood of the Lamb so
we're saved from judgment to come in
number 11 I can't I don't have a finger
number 11 the Passover lamb had to be
eaten not only sacrificed but it had to
be consumed and everybody in the home
had to eat it separately not like in
different rooms but each person each
individual had to eat of the lamb this
was very important Exodus 12 for talks
about this in John 6 51 Jesus says this
and remember the Passover they all had
to eat it he says I'm the Living bread
that came down from heaven if anyone
eats of this bread he will live forever
and the bread that I will give for the
life of the world is my flesh at
Passover he says this is my body broken
for you eat it eat it now this is of
course there's a whole debate in
Catholicism about this being the
Eucharist and all that and I have videos
on that look him up this is not the day
for that but but this is obviously
symbolic and representative
representative of us consuming Christ
and his sacrifice so each person has to
do it maybe your family loves the Lord
but have you made a commitment to Christ
have you embraced Jesus Christ have you
repented and believed in him so the
escalation of this is with Jesus the
Passover is just them leaving Egypt and
the destroyer the firstborn right with Jesus
Jesus
it's about entering eternal life and
it's about passing through judgment to
come it's much greater number 12 how the
Passover was cooked this too is symbolic
they were specifically told in Exodus
you cannot boil it and you cannot eat it raw
raw
no Kibby for those who know Lebanese
food so my family yes No Kibby and no
boiling none of that you have to roast
it in fire and you have to roast the
whole lamb you can't cut it up and roast
it in pieces you have to cook the whole
thing in fire all whole head legs and
inner parts all included fire I believe
represents judgment represents God's
judgment or even Korra's and death how interesting
