Caption transcript for The Miracle of Passover (2012): Part 1 (1/2)

• 00:20 PASSOVER...
• 00:22 THE CROWN JEWEL OF BIBLICAL FEASTS,
• 00:24 SACRED TO JEWS AND CHRISTIANS ALIKE.
• 00:27 TAUGHT SINCE THE EXODUS 35 CENTURIES AGO
• 00:31 AND REVERED IN THE LORD'S SUPPER, COMMUNION, THE EUCHARIST
• 00:35 AND BY ALL PEOPLES WHO RESPECT THE FREEDOM OF NATIONS.
• 00:39 HERE IS PASSOVER IN ALL ITS GLORY.
• 00:48 SHALOM AND WELCOME
• 00:49 TO ZOLA LEVITT PRESENTS
• 00:51 I'M MYLES
• 00:52 THIS IS KATHARINE
• 00:53 WE ARE DRESSED FOR PASSOVER.
• 00:54 IT'S THE CROWN JEWEL OF THE FEASTS OF THE LORD ISN'T IT?
• 00:58 IT'S THE PLACE WHERE WE KNOW THE LORD THROUGH COMMUNION.
• 01:01 PASSOVER WAS A PLACE WHERE THE BLOOD WAS APPLIED MYLES TO THE DOORPOST.
• 01:05 AND NOT ONLY ARE WE SAVED IN THE OLD TESTAMENT BY THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB
• 01:09 BUT IN THE NEW TESTAMENT TOO.
• 01:11 SO IT'S SO WONDERFUL TO SEE THEM BLEND TOGETHER LIKE NOTHING ELSE.
• 01:15 BEFORE HE GRADUATED TO HEAVEN
• 01:17 OUR FOUNDER, ZOLA LEVITT, DID A WONDERFUL TEACHING ON THE MIRACLE OF PASSOVER.
• 01:21 SO LET'S JOIN ZOLA AS HE UNFOLDS THIS AMAZING FEAST TO US.
• 01:27 SHALOM, HELLO AGAIN
• 01:28 WHY AM I ALL DRESSED UP LIKE THIS?
• 01:30 IT'S PASSOVER...
• 01:32 THE CROWN JEWEL
• 01:33 OF JEWISH FESTIVALS;
• 01:34 THE FIRST ONE GOD GAVE MOSES ON MT. SINAI AFTER THE EXODUS.
• 01:38 DONE EVERY YEAR FOR 35 CENTURIES
• 01:41 AND IT COMES DOWN TO US IN BEAUTIFUL FORM AND TEACHES US A GREAT DEAL ABOUT THE MESSIAH.
• 01:48 WE HAVE A STUDIO AUDIENCE TODAY TO WATCH ME DO THIS
• 01:51 AND WE'RE GOING TO GO TO THE STUDIO WHERE WE HAVE SET UP AN AUTHENTIC PASSOVER TABLE.
• 01:56 AND HERE IT IS...
• 01:59 THE TABLE BESIDE ME HAS BEEN SET THIS WAY FOR 3500 YEARS.
• 02:03 THAT'S ON A SCALE WHERE OUR COUNTRY IS A LITTLE OVER 200 HUNDRED YEARS OLD.
• 02:08 PASSOVER IS FAR AND AWAY THE WORLD'S OLDEST FESTIVAL.
• 02:11 IT'S THE FIRST OF THE FEASTS THAT GOD GAVE MOSES ON MT. SINAI
• 02:15 AND IT HAS BEEN CELEBRATED ALL THAT TIME THROUGH THE MILLENNIA, THROUGH THE INQUISITIONS,
• 02:21 THE CRUSADES, THE CONCENTRATION CAMPS,
• 02:23 EVERYWHERE THE JEWS WERE...
• 02:25 PASSOVER WAS ALWAYS CELEBRATED.
• 02:28 IT'S INTERESTING WHEN WE LOOK BACK TO THE SLAVERY IN EGYPT
• 02:31 BECAUSE THERE WAS 400 YEARS OF SILENCE DURING THAT SLAVERY
• 02:35 AND IN THAT TIME GOD SAID NOTHING TO HIS PEOPLE
• 02:39 BUT AT THE END OF IT THERE WAS A SUDDEN BLOOD SACRIFICE,
• 02:42 THE LAMB OF EGYPT
• 02:45 AND HE EMANCIPATED THE ENTIRE NATION IN A SINGLE NIGHT...
• 02:49 A DRAMATIC EVENT.
• 02:51 THEN SCRIPTURE CAME OUT,
• 02:53 PROPHETS PREACHED AND KINGS RULED
• 02:57 AND FINALLY THERE WAS 400 MORE YEARS OF SILENCE AFTER THE OLD TESTAMENT
• 03:01 LEADING UP TO ANOTHER GREAT BLOOD SACRIFICE,
• 03:05 THE COMING OF THE MESSIAH.
• 03:06 THAT SHOULD REALLY HAVE BEEN A VERY GREAT HINT TO ISRAEL.
• 03:09 WHEN JOHN THE BAPTIST SAW JESUS COMING HE SAID,
• 03:12 "BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD WHICH TAKETH AWAY THE SINS OF THE WORLD".
• 03:17 SO, AFTER ANOTHER 400 YEARS SILENCE,
• 03:19 THE BLOOD SACRIFICE OF THE LAMB AGAIN.
• 03:22 WHICHEVER TESTAMENT I READ, OLD OR NEW, I CAN SAY,
• 03:24 "THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB DELIVERS ME FROM BONDAGE".
• 03:28 WELL, WHY DO WE DO THIS PASSOVER?
• 03:31 WHY DO WE GO THROUGH THE WHOLE CEREMONY?
• 03:33 WHY IS THIS WORTH KNOWING?
• 03:34 FOR ONE THING, THE LORD DID THIS ON HIS LAST EARTHLY NIGHT.
• 03:38 THERE ARE A LOT OF THINGS YOU MIGHT DO TONIGHT
• 03:41 IF YOU WERE GOING ON TRIAL FOR YOUR LIFE IN THE MORNING.
• 03:44 THIS IS WHAT HE CHOSE TO DO.
• 03:45 HE FELT THIS FEAST WAS VERY IMPORTANT.
• 03:47 AND SECONDLY, HE SAID AT THE TABLE,
• 03:50 "DO THIS IN REMEMBRANCE OF ME.";
• 03:52 PARTICULARLY IN REFERENCE TO THE CUP AND THE BREAD THAT HE SERVED HIS DISCIPLES.
• 03:57 AND SO WE STILL DO IN THE LORD'S SUPPER, IN COMMUNION, IN THE EUCHARIST...WE ALL DO IT.
• 04:05 AND OF COURSE IN PASSOVER UNKNOWINGLY THE JEWS
• 04:08 TAKE THE WINE AND THE BREAD JUST THE SAME.
• 04:11 SO THE LORD SAID TO DO IT AND WE DO IT
• 04:14 BUT WE SHOULD ONCE IN A WHILE LOOK AT THE WHOLE FEAST
• 04:17 AND SEE HOW THIS BREAD AND WINE COMES OUT OF THE NORMAL PROCEDURE OF THE FEAST.
• 04:22 AND THEN, THE LORD, WHEN HE PUT DOWN HIS CUP SAID,
• 04:26 "I'LL NOT DRINK OF THIS WINE UNTIL I DRINK IT NEW WITH YOU IN MY FATHER'S KINGDOM."
• 04:31 THAT EXPRESSION, "THIS WINE" "HAZEH YAYIN",
• 04:34 IT'S A SPECIAL GLASS OF WINE
• 04:36 BECAUSE WINE FOR PASSOVER IS DIFFERENT THAN FOR THE YEAR ROUND.
• 04:40 SO HE IMPLIED THAT WE WILL BE DOING PASSOVER IN THE KINGDOM TO COME.
• 04:44 SO IF WE'RE GOING TO DO THIS FEAST
• 04:46 WE MIGHT RUN THROUGH IT ONCE HERE AND WE'LL BE MORE READY. (AUDIENCE LAUGHING)
• 04:50 NOW WHEN WE PREPARE FOR THE KINGDOM WE HAVE A LOT OF FESTIVALS IN MIND
• 04:58 BUT THIS ONE IS THE CROWN JEWEL.
• 05:00 THIS WAS THE FIRST,
• 05:01 IT'S ON THE FIRST FULL MOON OF SPRING,
• 05:03 IT'S SOMETHING THAT IS GOING TO BE QUITE A THRILL WHEN WE GO THERE.
• 05:07 BUT WE SHOULD KNOW WE CAN'T JUST SET UP A TABLE AND START INTO PASSOVER.
• 05:11 THE GOSPEL SPEAKS OF A WHOLE DAY OF PREPARATION.
• 05:14 SEVERAL THINGS HAVE TO BE DONE.
• 05:16 FOR ONE THING, IN THE JEWISH HOUSEHOLD YOU HAVE TO CHANGE OVER ALL OF THE DISHES.
• 05:21 YOU CAN'T USE YEAR ROUND DISHES ON PASSOVER.
• 05:24 NOW, THE ORTHODOX JEWISH WOMAN REALLY KEEPING THE LAW HAS FOUR SETS OF DISHES GOING
• 05:29 BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO SEPARATE MILK AND MEAT THE YEAR ROUND.
• 05:34 A DISH THAT HELD A HAMBURGER CAN NEVER HOLD ICE CREAM IN ITS CAREER.
• 05:38 ONE IS FOREVER MILK AND ONE IS FOREVER MEAT
• 05:40 AND THAT IS THEIR TRADITION AND SO THERE ARE TWO SETS OF DISHES GOING ALL THE TIME.
• 05:45 BUT THEN ON PASSOVER THEY'VE GOT TO WASH UP THOSE TWO SETS AND POTS AND PANS
• 05:49 AND SILVER AND GLASSWARE AND EVERYTHING AND PUT IT ALL AWAY,
• 05:53 LOCK IT UP FOR THE EIGHT DAY FESTIVAL AND BRING OUT THE PASSOVER SET UP.
• 05:57 THAT'S TWO MORE SETS OF DISHES, AND POTS AND PANS AND GLASSWARE AND SILVER AND SO ON.
• 06:02 AND ALL OF THAT OF COURSE HAS TO BE WASHED UP;
• 06:04 IT HASN'T BEEN USED FOR A YEAR, AND SET OUT.
• 06:06 SO IT'S A DAY OF DISHWASHING TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH. (AUDIENCE LAUGHING)
• 06:10 AND WHEN THE PASSOVER THINGS COME OUT IT'S THE MOST SPLENDID THINGS.
• 06:13 EVERY WOMAN IS PROUD OF HER PASSOVER SET UP
• 06:16 AND IT'S A CHANCE TO USE YOUR WEDDING PRESENTS
• 06:19 AND THE THINGS YOU NEVER USE, THE FINEST STUFF THAT SHE HAS.
• 06:24 THEN WHEN THE DISHES HAVE ALL BEEN CHANGED OVER WE PURGE THE LEAVEN OUT OF THE KITCHEN,
• 06:30 WE GET THE BREAD CRUMBS AND THE COOKIE CRUMBS
• 06:33 AND THE TWINKIE WRAPPERS AND EVERYTHING OUT OF THERE,
• 06:35 CLEAN THE BREAD BOARD WITH A TOOTHPICK BECAUSE LEAVEN IN THE BIBLE IS SIN.
• 06:40 I CORINTHIANS CHAPTER 5, VERSE 7, PAUL SAID,
• 06:43 "PURGE OUT THE OLD LEAVEN AND BECOME A NEW LUMP FOR CHRIST OUR PASSOVER IS SACRIFICED FOR US."
• 06:49 WHEN THEY ATE THE UNLEAVENED BREAD IN THE EXODUS IT WAS A WAY OF BEING DELIVERABLE.
• 06:54 THEY ATE PURE BREAD AND THEY BECAME PURE AND SO WE GET THE LEAVEN OUT OF THE HOUSE.
• 07:00 THEY MAKE A GAME OUT OF IT,
• 07:01 THEY PUT CRUMBS OF LEAVEN ON THE BOOKCASES AND THE FURNITURE
• 07:05 AND THEY SEND THE LITTLE CHILDREN OUT TO LOOK FOR IT
• 07:08 AND WHEN THEY FIND SOME OF THE CRUMBS OF LEAVEN THEY CALL FATHER
• 07:10 AND HE COMES WITH A FEATHER AND A WOODEN SPOON
• 07:13 AND HE BRUSHES SOME OF THE CRUMBS OF LEAVEN INTO THE SPOON WITH THE FEATHER,
• 07:17 TAKES THEM TO THE FIREPLACE,
• 07:18 THROWS THEM IN THE FIRE.
• 07:20 AND SO THE LITTLE CHILDREN SEE THE JUDGMENT OF SINS,
• 07:22 ALL THOSE LITTLE CRUMBS ARE LITTLE SINS
• 07:24 AND THEY'RE ALL BURNED UP TO BE READY FOR PASSOVER.
• 07:28 IT ALSO GETS THE FATHER AND THE CHILDREN OUT OF THE KITCHEN DURING ALL THISDISHWASHING. (AUDIENCE LAUGHING)
• 07:34 THEN THE THIRD THING WE DO IS FATHER DONS THIS KITTEL,
• 07:39 THIS ROBE, A WHITE ROBE WHICH IS THE ROBE OF THE ORDINARY PRIEST IN THE TABERNACLE,
• 07:45 THE ROBE THAT HE WORE AS HE CONTINUED TO SACRIFICE.
• 07:50 HIS HANDS WERE ALWAYS IN THE BLOOD SO HE COULD WEAR PURE WHITE.
• 07:53 OTHERWISE ROBES HAVE TO BE SEWN WITH RED, BLUE, PURPLE, THE COLORS OF THE LORD.
• 07:58 BUT PURE WHITE DENOTES ONGOING RIGHTEOUSNESS, PERFECT RIGHTEOUSNESS.
• 08:03 THIS IS WHAT WE'LL WHERE WHEN MARRY THE LORD.
• 08:06 REVELATION CHAPTER 19, VERSES 7 AND 8,
• 08:09 "BLESSED IS HE WHO COMES TO THE MARRIAGE SUPPER OF THE LAMB."
• 08:12 "THE WIFE OF CHRIST HATH MADE HERSELF READY"
• 08:14 "AND UNTO HER WAS APPOINTED FINE LINEN, CLEAN AND WHITE WHICH IS THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF SAINTS."
• 08:20 SO BEHOLD YOUR WEDDING DRESS.
• 08:22 WE'LL ALL WEAR THIS WHEN WE MARRY THE LORD.
• 08:24 FATHER PUTS IT ON TO BRING SOME OF THE TEMPLE HOME.
• 08:28 PASSOVER'S A HOME HOLIDAY.
• 08:30 YOM KIPPUR, ROSH HASHANAH, THE HIGH FESTIVALS IN THE FALL ARE SYNAGOGUE HOLIDAYS,
• 08:37 RATHER LIKE IN CHRISTIANITY,
• 08:39 MAYBE WE THINK OF CHRISTMAS OR THANKSGIVING, THAT SORT OF HOLIDAY IS A HOME GATHERING.
• 08:43 BUT EASTER IS THAT TIME YOU GET TO CHURCH
• 08:46 AND YOU SEE THE PEOPLE YOU HAVEN'T SEEN SINCE THE LAST EASTER.
• 08:49 THAT'S A CHURCH HOLIDAY.
• 08:51 SO FATHER BRINGS A LITTLE OF HIS CHURCH HOME, SO TO SAY.
• 08:54 HE BRINGS A TABERNACLE ROBE INTO THE HOUSE, AND A MITRE AND WEARS THE COSTUME OF THE TABERNACLE.
• 09:00 THIS IS A 35 CENTURY OLD COSTUME...IMAGINE.
• 09:04 AND ALL ROBES OF ALL CHURCHES, ALL SYNAGOGUES ORIGINATE WITH THIS ONE.
• 09:09 WELL, FINALLY IT'S TIME TO GET TO THE TABLE,
• 09:13 IT IS SUNDOWN AND IT'S TIME TO START THE SERVICE
• 09:17 AND WE START IT WITH THE LIGHTING OF THE CANDLES.
• 09:20 NOW, YOU MAY ASK WHY A WOMAN ALWAYS LIGHTS THE CANDLES IN JUDAISM AND THAT'S TRUE.
• 09:26 WOMEN HAVE NO OTHER RITUAL WORSHIP RESPONSIBILITY,
• 09:28 THEY DON'T SIT WITH THE MEN IN THE SYNAGOGUES,
• 09:30 THEY DON'T PRAY, THEY DON'T HAVE TO PRAY, THEY MAY PRAY
• 09:34 BUT THEIR FATHER OR BROTHER OR SONS CONFESSIONS ARE EFFICACIOUS FOR THEM AND SO ON,
• 09:39 BUT YOU CAN'T START ANY SERVICE, SABBATH OR A PASSOVER WITHOUT A WOMAN LIGHTING THE CANDLES
• 09:46 AND WE ASK WHY AND THE ANSWER OF COURSE IS IN THE NEW TESTAMENT.
• 09:51 WHEN YOU HAVE AN OLD TESTAMENT QUESTION THE ANSWER IS IN THE NEW TYPICALLY.
• 09:55 THE BIBLE IS A BOOK WITH THE ANSWERS IN THE BACK. (AUDIENCE LAUGHING)
• 09:58 WE CAN REMEMBER THAT A WOMAN BROUGHT US THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD.
• 10:05 YOU MAY SAY,"WELL WE'RE ALL BORN OF A WOMAN."
• 10:10 "GOD USED A WOMAN TO BRING US HIS SON"
• 10:13 "BUT AREN'T WE ALL BORN OF A WOMAN?"
• 10:15 NOT REALLY.
• 10:17 ADAM AND EVE WEREN'T BORN.
• 10:18 GOD SHOWED THAT HE COULD MAKE PEOPLE OF EITHER MODEL,
• 10:21 SET THEM GOING, THEY WERE ADULTS THEY WERE NEVER BABIES,
• 10:25 AND SO WHY DIDN'T HE DO IT WITH THE LORD?
• 10:28 I MEAN, LOOK HOW THE LORD HAD TO GROW UP IN GALILEE
• 10:31 AND VISITED THE TEMPLE, GOT IN TROUBLE WITH HIS FAMILY
• 10:33 WHEN HE GOT LOST, DISCUSSING THE SCRIPTURES IN THE TEMPLE WHEN HE WAS TWELVE YEARS OLD.
• 10:38 THEN THERE'S A LONG SILENCE TILL HE'S THIRTY.
• 10:40 YOU KNOW WE WOULDN'T HAVE MISSED MUCH
• 10:42 IF HE WERE MADE IN HEAVEN OUT OF SOME HEAVENLY STUFF AND SENT DOWN HERE AT THIRTY YEARS OLD.
• 10:47 BUT I DON'T THINK THAT WOULD HAVE ANSWERED HIS CALLING.
• 10:51 HE HAS TO BE FLESH LIKE OUR FLESH IN ORDER TO BE A PROPER SACRIFICE FOR US.
• 10:57 DON'T YOU SEE IF THE PASTOR SAID WALK IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF JESUS
• 11:02 AND HE WERE MADE IN HEAVEN OUT OF SOME HEAVENLY STUFF, THERE'S YOUR EXCUSE.
• 11:05 YOU WOULD SAY, "WELL I WASN'T MADE IN HEAVEN OUT OF SOME HEAVENLY STUFF,"
• 11:10 "JESUS DOESN'T REALLY KNOW MY PROBLEMS."
• 11:12 WE DON'T HAVE THAT OUT.
• 11:14 HE WAS BORN OF A WOMAN JUST AS WE ARE AND HE DID NOT SIN.
• 11:20 HE WON THIS BATTLE IN THIS EQUIPMENT.
• 11:23 HE GOT TIRED, HE GOT HUNGRY, HE WEPT, IT HURT TO BE CRUCIFIED.
• 11:27 HE WAS DEPRESSED WHEN HE HEARD OF LAZARUS' DEATH.
• 11:31 HE WAS LIKE US; HE WAS MAN WITH A MAN'S FEELINGS, A MAN'S SENSITIVITIES.
• 11:36 THE GOSPEL SAID HE WAS TEMPTED IN ALL THINGS JUST AS WE ARE AND YET HE DID NOT SIN.
• 11:41 KNOWING HE WAS BORN OF A WOMAN TELLS US THAT HE'S THE ADEQUATE SACRIFICE FOR US.
• 11:48 NOW THEN, A SECOND REASON, IT WAS A NOTICED BIRTH.
• 11:53 I MEAN LET'S TELL IT LIKE IT IS.
• 11:55 HERE IS MARIA, A GIRL, WE'D SAY A NINTH GRADE GIRL,
• 11:58 SHE'S NINE MONTH'S PREGNANT AND SHE'S TRAVELING FROM NAZARETH TO BETHLEHEM...
• 12:04 MY GOODNESS...DOWN TO THE JORDAN RIVER VALLEY UP TO JERUSALEM AND OVER TO BETHLEHEM
• 12:09 IS A 75 MILE RIDE, I SUPPOSE, ON A DONKEY...AND THAT'S NOT EASY.
• 12:14 AND THEN SHE GETS TO BETHLEHEM.
• 12:16 I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE EVER SEEN BETHLEHEM BUT IT'S NO BIG DEAL.
• 12:19 BETHLEHEM'S JUST A CROSSROADS.
• 12:22 THERE WAS ONE HOTEL THERE THEN,
• 12:25 THERE' ONE THERE NOW...YOU CAN NEVER GET A ROOM AT THE INN. (AUDIENCE LAUGHING)
• 12:29 THERE WAS NO PLACE FOR HER TO STAY AND SO SHE HAD HER BABY IN A CAVE.
• 12:34 WE MAKE A WOODEN BARN OUT OF THIS THING WHEN WE GET IT OVER HERE,
• 12:37 BUT THEY DON'T HAVE WOODEN BUILDINGS ISRAEL, THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH TREES FOR THAT.
• 12:40 IT WAS A CAVE WHERE THE ANIMALS WERE KEPT,
• 12:42 THEY HAD A FIRE AT THE MOUTH OF THE CAVE TO KEEP PREDATORS AWAY
• 12:45 AND SHE HAD TO LAY HER NEWBORN BABY IN A MANGER.
• 12:49 MY GOODNESS, YOU WOULDN'T REALLY WANT TO LAY A NEWBORN BABY IN A MANGER.
• 12:53 YOU PEOPLE THAT GREW UP IN THE COUNTRY KNOW WHAT A MANGER IS.
• 12:55 IT'S WHERE THE ANIMALS EAT...
• 12:56 IT'S A STONE TROUGH.
• 12:58 IT'S COLD AND HARD AND IT'S NOT CLEAN.
• 13:01 BUT THAT WAS THE CHOICE,
• 13:03 OTHERWISE, THE FLOOR OF THE CAVE.
• 13:05 AND THAT'S HOW WE GOT THE SON OF GOD.
• 13:07 WHAT TROUBLE GOD WENT TO...
• 13:09 WHAT TROUBLE MARY WENT TO.
• 13:11 BUT LET ME SAY THIS, BETHLEHEM WAS A VERY SMALL TOWN.
• 13:15 THERE WERE ONLY 400 FAMILIES LIVING IN BETHLEHEM WHEN JESUS WAS BORN THERE.
• 13:21 WELL, WHEN SOMETHING LIKE A GIRL RIDING INTO TO TOWN ON A DONKEY
• 13:24 AND HAVING A BABY IN A CAVE BY THE HOTEL GOES ON, WHY THAT'S A STORY IN A SMALL TOWN.
• 13:29 THAT'S SOMETHING THEY REMEMBER
• 13:31 AND IT'S VERY IMPORTANT THAT THEY REMEMBER IT
• 13:33 BECAUSE 30 YEARS LATER WHEN AN HONEST SEEKER LIKE NICODEMUS MIGHT COME TO THAT TOWN AND SAY,
• 13:38 "I'VE HEARD THIS MAN PREACH. THEY SAY HE'S MESSIAH."
• 13:41 "I DON'T WANT TO MAKE A MISTAKE."
• 13:43 "THE PROPHET MICAH SAID MESSIAH WOULD BE BORN IN YOUR LITTLE TOWN."
• 13:46 "THIS FELLOW FROM GALILEE, CAN YOU REMEMBER, WAS HE BORN HERE?"
• 13:52 THEY WOULD SAY, "WELL WHO COULD FORGET IT?"
• 13:55 "OF COURSE HE WAS BORN HERE. WE ALL REMEMBER THAT."
• 13:58 AND SOMEONE MIGHT SAY, "WELL, IS HE OF THE TRIBE OF JUDAH?"
• 14:03 "WELL YES, THEY CAME DOWN FOR THE TAX COLLECTION."
• 14:05 "THEY HAD TO COME TO THEIR OWN PRECINCT."
• 14:07 THEY WERE BOTH OF JUDAH, JOSEPH AND MARY.
• 14:09 SOMEONE MIGHT SAY, "WELL THEY SAID HE WAS BORN OF A VIRGIN."
• 14:12 THEY'D SAY, "WELL WE COULD TELL YOU SHE WAS A YOUNG GIRL,"
• 14:15 "THEY WEREN'T MARRIED YET,"
• 14:17 "SHE WAS A GOOD GIRL."
• 14:19 AND THERE WOULD BE A LOT OF EVIDENCE OF HOW TO RECEIVE THE MESSIAH.
• 14:23 SO FOR THOSE REASONS I THINK GOD USED A WOMAN TO BRING US THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD.
• 14:29 AND SO A WOMAN, AFTER THIS BREAK, WILL BRING THE LIGHT TO THE PASSOVER TABLE.
• 14:53 ♪SHA'A'LU SHALOM YERUSHALAYIM♪

• 15:11 ♪SHA'A'LU SHALOM♪
• 15:20 PASSOVER BEGINS WITH THE LIGHTING OF THE CANDLES
• 15:23 AND IT'S ALWAYS THE WOMAN OF THE HOME
• 15:25 WHO LIGHTS THE CANDLES TO START THE SERVICE.
• 15:27 THE WOMAN LIGHTS THE CANDLES BECAUSE THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD CAME THROUGH A WOMAN.
• 15:31 THAT'S RIGHT.
• 15:32 IT'S ALSO A PLACE OF HONOR,
• 15:33 SO LET'S JOIN ZOLA AS HE AGAIN TEACHES US THE MIRACLE OF PASSOVER.
• 15:40 JENNY EISENBERG OF THE MESSIANIC CONGREGATION BARUCH HASHEM
• 15:44 HAS CONSENTED TO HELP US WITH THE CANDLE LIGHTING.
• 16:16 ♪BARUCH ATAH ADO-NAI,♪

• 16:39 AMEN.THANK YOU.
• 16:41 NOW THAT THE CANDLES ARE AT THE TABLE, THAT IS THE LIGHT IS WITH US, THE MESSIAH IS HERE;
• 16:45 IT'S TIME TO START THE PASSOVER IN EARNEST.
• 16:48 AND WE BEGIN WITH THE FIRST CUP.
• 16:52 THERE WILL BE FOUR CUPS OF WINE,
• 16:54 EACH ONE HAVING A DIFFERENT SIGNIFICANCE.
• 16:56 THIS ONE'S CALLED "THE CUP OF SANCTIFICATION".
• 16:59 FATHER LOOKS AT THE TABLE, MAKES SURE EVERYTHING'S IN THE RIGHT PLACE, IT'S SANCTIFIED,
• 17:03 EVERYBODY LISTENS TO THE BLESSING OF THE WINE AND SIPS OF THAT CUP.
• 17:08 NOW SINCE WE'RE DOING THIS FROM HOUSE TO HOUSE AND VILLAGE TO VILLAGE FOR 35 CENTURIES
• 17:13 IT MIGHT START TO VARY
• 17:15 AND THINGS MIGHT BE PUT IN DIFFERENT PLACES
• 17:17 AND DIFFERENT THINGS MIGHT CREEP IN...SOME HAVE.
• 17:20 AND WE HAVE A BOOK TO MAKE SURE THAT WE KNOW THE ORIGINAL.
• 17:25 THIS IS THE HAGGADAH, IT'S A BEST SELLER...
• 17:28 IT CAME OUT DURING THE EXODUS.
• 17:29 IT OPENS THIS WAY BECAUSE ENGLISH BOOKS OPEN BACKWARDS. (AUDIENCE LAUGHING)
• 17:34 AND IN HERE WE HAVE DIRECTIONS ON HOW TO SET THE TABLE.
• 17:38 THIS IS A PARTICULARLY FINE OLD HAGGADAH,
• 17:41 AN ANCIENT MASTERPIECE, IN FACT,
• 17:44 AND IT TELLS THE PRAYERS IN THE ORDER OF THE SERVICE,
• 17:48 THE STORY OF THE EXODUS OF COURSE, THE PLAGUES AND EVERYTHING.
• 17:51 AND FATHER LOOKS IN THERE AND COMPARES THE PICTURES WITH THE TABLE TO KNOW THAT EVERYTHING IS QUITE CORRECT.
• 17:58 NOW, NEXT HE DOES A PECULIAR CEREMONY WITH THE UNLEAVENED BREAD.
• 18:03 THIS IS CALLED "THE HIDING OF THE AFIKOMAN"...THAT'S A GREEK WORD WITH REFERENCE TO THE LORD.
• 18:10 BUT HE TAKES THREE OF THESE LOAVES OF UNLEAVENED BREAD
• 18:14 AND HE TAKES A SPECIAL BAG WHICH HAS THREE COMPARTMENTS.
• 18:20 ALL THE THINGS OF PASSOVER ARE VERY BEAUTIFUL.
• 18:23 WOMEN ARE VERY PROUD OF THEIR SET UP AND PART OF THAT SET UP IS THESE LINENS AND CLOTHS.
• 18:30 I'M PUTTING ONE PIECE OF UNLEAVENED BREAD IN EACH COMPARTMENT
• 18:35 JUST SIMPLY TO SEPARATE THEM INTO A STACK OF THREE.
• 18:39 AND NOW THAT THERE IS A DISTINCT STACK OF THE THREE
• 18:41 FATHER SAYS THE BLESSING OVER THAT BREAD AND THEN HE REMOVES THE MIDDLE PIECE.
• 18:54 HE BREAKS IT.
• 18:58 HE WRAPS IT.
• 19:03 AN IMPROVEMENT SINCE JESUS' TIME.
• 19:07 AND HE HIDES IT AWAY.
• 19:09 MY FATHER USED TO PUT IT BEHIND THE CUSHION ON HIS CHAIR.
• 19:13 HE DOESN'T EXPLAIN WHAT HE'S DONE
• 19:15 BUT HE'LL COME BACK TO IT LATER.
• 19:17 SO WE'LL GO RIGHT ON.
• 19:18 THE NEXT THING THAT HAPPENS IN THE SERVICE
• 19:21 IS THE YOUNGEST MEMBER PRESENT ASKS FOUR QUESTIONS,
• 19:25 FOUR KEY QUESTIONS
• 19:27 THAT IS GOING TO GIVE THE FATHER HIS CUE TO TELL THE PASSOVER STORY ONCE AGAIN.
• 19:32 AND EVERYBODY HAD A CHANCE AT THIS.
• 19:34 WHETHER A BOY OR A GIRL,
• 19:36 WHEN YOU WERE THE YOUNGEST CHILD YOU ASKED THE FOUR QUESTIONS
• 19:40 AND WE HAVE THE HELP THIS TIME OF NATHAN EISENBURG WHO WILL CHANT THE QUESTIONS FOR US.

• 21:58 BASICALLY, "MAH NISHTANAH HA-LAHYLAH HA-ZEH"
• 22:01 HOW IS THIS NIGHT DIFFERENT FROM ALL OTHER NIGHTS?
• 22:04 WELL...IN EGYPT OF COURSE IT WAS THE NIGHT OF A GREAT SACRIFICE.
• 22:09 IN THE NEW TESTAMENT IT IS ALSO A NIGHT OF A GREAT SACRIFICE.
• 22:13 THIS NIGHT IS DIFFERENT FROM ALL OTHER NIGHTS CAUSE ON THIS NIGHT MEN ARE GOING TO KILL GOD!
• 22:19 THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED.
• 22:21 AND WITH THAT BLOOD OF THAT LAMB THE WORLD IS TRULY EMANCIPATED
• 22:27 LIKE THE JEWS WERE TAKEN OUT IN THE EXODUS.
• 22:29 THIS REALLY IS A STORY OF SACRIFICE AND SALVATION
• 22:33 AND THE STORY PROVES IT.
• 22:34 FATHER TAKES HIS CUE FROM THOSE QUESTIONS TO EXPLAIN THEM.
• 22:38 AND WHAT DID THEY REALLY MEAN?
• 22:40 HE WANTS TO KNOW WHY ON ALL OTHER NIGHTS WE EAT ANY KIND OF BREAD
• 22:44 BUT TONIGHT ONLY UNLEAVENED BREAD.
• 22:46 WHY THE BITTER HERBS ON THE TABLE,
• 22:49 THE RECLINING ON CUSHIONS ON THE CHAIRS SO WE CAN RELAX,
• 22:53 THE DIPPING?
• 22:55 THERE'S A BOWEL OF SALT WATER THAT WE'RE GOING TO DIP THINGS IN AND THERE'S CHAROSES.
• 23:00 I'M GOING TO COME TO THESE THINGS.
• 23:02 THERE'S DIPPING CEREMONIES AND HE ASKS ABOUT ALL THOSE THINGS
• 23:05 AND FATHER IN ANSWERING THE QUESTIONS TELLS THE STORY OF THE EXODUS.
• 23:09 AND WHEN HE COMES TO EACH OF THESE FOODS, THEY PERTAIN TO A PART OF THE STORY.
• 23:13 SO WE STOP THE STORY AND EAT THE FOOD AND GO ON TO THE NEXT THING.
• 23:17 HE BEGINS WHEN WE WERE SLAVES TO PHARAOH IN EGYPT.
• 23:20 I MEAN NO OTHER NATION CAN TELL A STORY THAT'S SO OLD, THAT'S SO THRILLING,
• 23:26 AS THE EMANCIPATION OF THIS ENTIRE NATION.
• 23:31 HE STARTS WITH THE BITTERNESS OF THE SLAVERY IN EGYPT
• 23:34 AND HERE WE HAVE HORSERADISH ON THIS...THERE'S A LAZY SUSAN WITH THE CEREMONIAL FOODS ON IT
• 23:40 AND THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF HORSERADISH ON THERE.
• 23:43 YOU BREAK UP A PIECE OF THE UNLEAVENED BREAD AND DIP IT IN THE HORSERADISH AND EAT THAT.
• 23:49 AND WELL SOMETIMES THEY JUST SLICE A CHIP OFF A REAL HORSERADISH.
• 23:53 THAT WILL CLEAR YOUR SINUSES. (AUDIENCE LAUGHING)
• 23:56 IT BRINGS TEARS TO THE EYES AND THAT'S THE IDEA, TO WEEP OVER THE SLAVERY IN EGYPT.
• 24:02 THEN HE COMES TO THE CONVERSATION WHERE PHARAOH SAID,
• 24:05 "YOU'LL MAKE YOUR OWN BRICK MORTAR FROM NOW ON" REMEMBER, TOLD MOSES.
• 24:10 AND SO THEY STILL MAKE IT,
• 24:12 BUT THEY MAKE IT OF APPLES, NUTS AND CINNAMON, IT'S DELICIOUS...THE CHAROSES.
• 24:16 I WAS THE CHAROSES MAKER IN MY FAMILY...THAT WAS MY JOB ON THE DAY OF PREPARATION.
• 24:20 AND THEY DIP A PIECE OF BREAD IN THAT.
• 24:24 THE DIPPING IN THE MIDDLE EASTERN CEREMONY USUALLY
• 24:29 THERE'S FOR EXAMPLE GOING TO DIP IN SALT WATER,
• 24:31 THERE'S A LAVER OF SALT WATER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TABLE.
• 24:34 IT'S A LONG TABLE.
• 24:36 IN JESUS TIME TWELVE MEN AT THE TABLE.
• 24:38 SO IT WAS EITHER THE DIPPING IN THE SALT WATER OR THE DIPPING IN THE CHAROSES
• 24:42 WHERE THEY ALL GET UP AND REACH OVER.
• 24:45 AND WE KNOW THIS FROM THE GOSPEL
• 24:47 BECAUSE YOU REMEMBER THE QUESTION, "WHICH OF US WILL BETRAY YOU LORD?"
• 24:51 AND HE SAID AT HIS END OF THE TABLE, "WATCH FOR THE ONE THAT DIPS AFTER ME."
• 24:56 EVIDENTLY, JUDAS WAS AT THE OTHER END... DIDN'T OVERHEAR THAT.
• 24:59 THEY ALL GET UP AND DIP IN THIS BOWL AND JUDAS' HAND WAS NEXT AFTER THE LORD.
• 25:04 SO WE KNOW THAT THEY DID THE DIPPING CEREMONY.
• 25:08 WE COME TO THE SHANK BONE OF A LAMB WHICH IS ON THE PLATE.
• 25:13 THIS OF COURSE PERTAINS TO THE SACRIFICE I EXPLAINED... THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB.
• 25:18 IN THE NEW TESTAMENT THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB WAS THE SAME THING.
• 25:22 THE SECOND CUP OF WINE COMES UP DURING THIS
• 25:28 AND ON THIS ONE WE ACTUALLY SPILL THE WINE MORE THAN DRINK IT.
• 25:32 WE SPILL DROPS WHEN FATHER CHANTS THE NAMES OF THE PLAGUES;
• 25:37 "DAHM"...BLOOD,
• 25:39 "TZFARDE'A"...FROGS,
• 25:40 "KINIM"...VERMIN,
• 25:42 "AROV"... NOXIOUS BEASTS.
• 25:45 AND THIS RED WINE IS FALLING IN A WHITE PLATE AND IT LOOKS LIKE BLOOD AND THAT IS THE IDEA.
• 25:51 SO, THE LAST ONE "MAKAT B'CHAROT", THE DEATH OF THE FIRSTBORN,
• 25:57 IT'S A VERY SAD CEREMONY, THE SPILLING OF THIS CUP OF WINE.
• 26:02 THE PARSLEY IS DIPPED TWICE IN THE LAVER OF SALT WATER,
• 26:06 ONCE FOR ISRAEL YOUNG AND GREEN IN THE SPRINGTIME OF ITS NATIONHOOD,
• 26:10 AND ONCE FOR THE ARMY OF EGYPT THAT TRIED TO FOLLOW HIM AND DOWN THE HATCH. (AUDIENCE LAUGHING)
• 26:17 AND THE STORY GOES ON WITH FATHER TELLING IT,
• 26:21 SINGING, CHANTING IN HEBREW AND EVERYBODY FOLLOWING.
• 26:24 THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE SHOULD MAKE A POINT OF THAT HAGGADAH IS PUBLISHED IN RUSSIA,
• 26:31 IT'S PUBLISHED IN CHINA, IT'S PUBLISHED THE WORLD AROUND.
• 26:34 AND WHEN AN IMMIGRANT COMES HERE HE CAN DO PASSOVER PERFECTLY.
• 26:37 HE HAS A HAGGADAH IN HEBREW,
• 26:39 I HAVE A HAGGADAH IN HEBREW,
• 26:40 WE SIT DOWN AT THIS TABLE.
• 26:42 IT'S ONE OF THE ONLY THINGS THAT IMMIGRANTS CAN DO PERFECTLY IN AMERICA OR ANY OTHER COUNTRY,
• 26:47 THIS AGE OLD INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL.
• 26:50 WELL TUNE IN NEXT WEEK,
• 26:52 WE'LL CONTINUE FROM EXACTLY THIS POINT,
• 26:54 FINISH THE SEDER PLATE IN THE STORY OF THE EXODUS,
• 26:58 THIS WONDERFUL 3500 YEAR OLD FESTIVAL CALLED "PASSOVER".
• 27:13 IT'S WISELY BEEN SAID
• 27:15 THAT THE OLD TESTAMENT IS THE NEW TESTAMENT CONCEALED
• 27:18 AND THE NEW TESTAMENT IS THE OLD TESTAMENT REVEALED.
• 27:21 AND I THINK WE REALLY SEE THAT IN THE STORY OF PASSOVER.
• 27:24 IT'S AN AMAZING STORY FOR BOTH OLD AND NEW ISN'T IT?
• 27:28 IT'S THE STORY OF REDEMPTION THROUGH THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB.
• 27:31 IT'S REALLY TRUE.
• 27:32 SO JOIN US NEXT WEEK.
• 27:33 WE'LL BE CONTINUING WITH ZOLA TEACHING US THE MIRACLE OF PASSOVER.
• 27:36 AND UNTIL THEN,
• 27:38 SHA'ALU SHALOM YERUSHALIYIM...
• 27:40 PRAY FOR THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM.
