The Passover is the first and great Feast of God for the Jews. God's
theological year starts with Passover! It is the event of Christ's
future Cross. It lays the foundation for all of God's future
purposes. Paul tells us in the NT, 1 Corinthians 5:7 (5:1-8) that
<u>Christ</u><span style="text-decoration: none;"> is </span><u>our
Passover</u><span style="text-decoration: none;">! This was1500 years
after Moses instituted this Feast, as the 10 plagues on Pharaoh and
Egypt opened the door for Israel's deliverance as a nation.</span></p>

</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="LEFT">
<span style="text-decoration: none;">The book of Romans in the NT is
an outline of the significance of this event through “Justification
by Faith”. Look at Romans under “Interlinear” on our Website,
</span><span style="text-decoration: none;"><b><a href="http://www.2rbetter.org/">www.2rbetter.org</a>.
</b></span><span style="text-decoration: none;">This is the book God
used in 1944 at Passover to bring me into His Kingdom.</span></p>

<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="LEFT">
<span style="text-decoration: none;">Yearly - Observant Jews hold a
Passover Supper (Seder) in their homes, to remember this great event,
and to teach and train their children on its significance and the
greatness of our God - who used Moses to effect this great
deliverance.</span></p>

<span style="text-decoration: none;">So - </span><u>Jesus</u><span style="text-decoration: none;">
is our Passover. Jesus baptizes us into the Holy Spirit at Pentecost;
and Jesus at His return will fulfill Tabernacles. To observe the
Feast of the Lord in Leviticus 23 - will enable us to understand more
clearly God's thinking in His progressive salvation. For - we </span><u>have

<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="LEFT">
<span style="text-decoration: none;">God has three other significant
events upon which to hang all Biblical Historical events upon - to
give us yet fuller understanding of His thinking and purposes: The
Abrahamic Covenant of 1896 BC is the first of these three significant
events. The Temple of Solomon, 986 BC has a significance for us that
we could easily miss. According to God's Bible Numeric Chronology as
discovered by Ivan Panin, this is the second outstanding Biblical
event marked out by God Himself. The third is 30 AD, the Cross, which
is Passover fulfilled. The fourth significant date that follows up on
these three is Daniel's interpretation of Nebuchadnezzar's first
dream.</span></p>

<span style="text-decoration: none;">Speaking of dreams - let me add a
further note on the article on “dreams” that I sent out
2011-05-16. Another interpretation to the dream forwarded to us from
Texas - came yesterday, which my wife Marie felt was very good. This
friend wrote: - “I believe the wildcat kitten is Israel and the
five vultures are five surrounding Arab countries. I believe the
cliff is the Mediterranean Sea. The five vultures want to eliminate
Israel and push her into the Mediterranean. The purpose of the dream
is to show that Israel really needs our support so that this doesn't
happen.”</span></p>

<span style="text-decoration: none;">It is important to see God's
perspective on dreams as He revealed to Jeremiah in 23:28-29
(23:23-32). </span><span style="text-decoration: none;"><b>“The

<font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><span style="text-decoration: none;">Dreams
in God's sight are like chaff. Necessary for grain to ripen, but once
ripe, the chaff can be burnt. For us to make </span></font><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><u>more</u></font><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><span style="text-decoration: none;">
of dreams that </span></font><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><u>God's

- is to elevate the gifts of the Spirit above the Word of God!</span></font></p>

in His Name! He says - “They say things from Me as the “Burden of
the Lord” - which I have not even thought of!” God's judgment is
upon those who lightly and glibly give out as the Word of the Lord
what He has </span></font><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><u>not</u></font><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><span style="text-decoration: none;">
thought of! And to place “dreams and visions and prophecy” above
