'Few are those who see with their own eyes and feel with their own hearts' - Albert Einstein
We have 4 accounts of various aspects of the Last supper. In this section we are not going to look at the second meaning of these accounts here. We are just going to piece them together to find our what precisely happened at the last supper in the literal meaning. Although of course it was a very symbolic celebration! We list the 4 accounts and then we put the Jigsaw together paying attention to every single word (using the Greek on occasion). Because when Jesus said:
17 Indeed, it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one particle of a letter of the Law to go unfulfilled (Luke 16).
We believe he meant it. We also know that God's law is the whole bible. We realise that every letter in the holy book is chosen by a God who is actually more intelligent than us and has no particular difficulty in expressing himself in a literary form either in Hebrew or in Greek having invented both of these languages along with a multitude of others in a split second during the days of the tower of Babel, some 4000 years ago. Perhaps the best way to do this is to get 4 large print bibles and open them at Matthew 26, Mark14, Luke 22 and John 13?
Again we do not view the various discrepancies between the accounts as mere journalistic viewpoints, as if God has an editorial capability that is somewhat less impressive than that of the New York Times (which would not be hard). We view them as the perfect words of a perfect God. And we grapple with them in our imperfection. So let's play spot the difference!
One does not eat the bread of a sealing covenant. One only drinks the wine. One does eat the bread of a testing covenant.
Adam was not installed as a priest until the 50th month after his sin. So sacrifices began them. The Passover lamb stands for sacrificial animal food from Adam's first animal sacrifice down to the Passover lamb eaten on 33Nisan14.. And the cups are drunk in the order that the covenants they represent were made. So
ARC of Luke before the meal
FRC of Mark then 1AC of Matthew during the lamb meal (which stands for church food during the period of animal sacrifice from Adam to Jesus)
1NC of Luke after the meal.
Then fish course for Christian food.
Then HLC during the fish course.
The only food that Jesus is recorded in scripture as eating after he was resurrected was fish, honeycomb and bread in Luke 24:42 and in John 21:9.
The 1AC and the 1NC are testing covenant which put their covenanters into a test.
The FRC and the ARC are sealing covenants which impart the blessing of a kingdom body to those who have passed the relevant test.
It is very important NOT to eat the loaf of a sealing covenant. Because doing so declares that you have decided that you are sealed. Which might be rather presumptuous.
20 When, now, it had become evening, he was reclining at the table with the 12 disciples.
21 While they were eating, he said: Truly I say to you,
One of you will betray me.
22 Being very much grieved at this, they commenced each and every one to say to him: Lord, it is not I, is it?
23 In reply he said: He that dips his hand with me in the bowl is the one that will betray me.
24 True, the Son of man is going away, just as it is written concerning him, but woe to that man through whom the Son of man is betrayed! It would have been finer for him if that man had not been born.
25 By way of reply Judas, who was about to betray him,
said: It is not I, is it, Rabbi? He said to him: You yourself said [it].
26 Eating but of them, Jesus took a loaf and, after saying a blessing, he broke it and, giving it to the disciples, he said: Take,
eat. This is my body [1AC]
27 Also, he took a cup and, having given thanks, he gave it to them, saying: Drink out of it, all of you
28 for this is my 'blood of the covenant,'
the [one] being poured out AROUND [peri] many for forgiveness of sins [AROUND is used for a testing covenant, the 1AC].
29 But I tell you, I will by no means drink henceforth any of this product of the vine until that day when I drink it new with you
[plural] in the kingdom of my Father
30 Finally, after singing praises, they went out to the Mount of Olives (Matthew 26).
17 After evening had fallen he came with the 12.
18 And as they were reclining at the table and eating,
Jesus said: Truly I say to you, One of you, who is eating with me, will betray me.
19 They started to be grieved and to say to him one by one: It is not I, is it?
20 He said to them: It is one of the 12, who is dipping with me into the common bowl.
21 True, the Son of man is going away, just as it is written concerning him, but woe to that man through whom the Son of man is betrayed! It would have been finer for that man if he had not been born.
22 And eating of them, he took a loaf, said a blessing, broke it and gave it to them, and said: Take it [NO eat]. This is my body [FRC].
23 And taking a cup, he offered thanks and gave it to them, and they all drank out of it [including Judas, who did not drink the cup of the 1NC, because Satan possessed him and he left the festival before the end of the Passover meal - see John 13:26-30]
24 And he said to them: This is my 'blood of the covenant,' the [one] being poured out OVER [uper]
many [Not for the forgiveness of sins - OVER - this is a sealing covenant for the many. The bread is not eaten] [FRC]
25 Truly I say to you, I shall by no means drink anymore of the product of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God
26 Finally, after singing praises, they went out to the Mount of Olives (Mark 14)
12 And that [man] will show you a large upper room furnished. Get [it] ready there.
13 So they departed and found it just as he had said to them, and they got the Passover ready.
14 At length when the hour came, he reclined at the table,
and the apostles with him.
15 And he said to them: I have greatly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer;
16 for I tell you, I will not eat it again until it becomes completed [plhrwqh] in the kingdom of God.
17 And, taking-with-the-hand/grasping [dexomai] a cup [ARC], he gave thanks and said: Take this and pass it from one to the other among yourselves;
18 for I tell you, From now on I will not drink again from the product of the vine until the kingdom of God arrives.
19 Also, he took a loaf, gave thanks [for his everliving angel which came from the ARC], broke it, and gave it to them, saying: This is my body, the [one] being given OVER [uper]
you [He did not say eat it - ARC. OVER is used for a sealing covenant. Then Cup then loaf for the ARC only - presumably because the ARC ransom had not yet occurred but the cup had been drunk between Jehovah and Michael, when Michael agreed to ransom Adam, founding the world]. Keep doing this in remembrance of me [So we too put the cup first only for the ARC].
20 Also, the cup in the same way after they had the evening meal, he saying: This cup is the new covenant in/within/ by virtue of my blood,
the [one] being poured out OVER [uper] you [1NC is the cup. But the blood is of the ARC. The 1NC is within the ARC, it is a subcovenant of the JAC which is a subcovenant of the ARC]
.
21 But, look! the hand of my betrayer is with me at the table (Luke 22).
23 For I received from the Lord that which I also handed on to you, that the Lord Jesus in the night in which he was going to be handed over took a loaf
24 and, after giving thanks [for his everliving angel which came from the ARC], he broke it and said: This is my body which is in your behalf. Keep doing this in remembrance of me [keep breaking the loaf NOT keep eating the loaf of the ARC].
25 He did likewise respecting the cup also, after he had the evening meal, saying: This cup is the new covenant by virtue of my blood.
Keep doing this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me .
26 For as often as you eat this loaf [of the ARC after having been sealed] and drink this
cup [of the 1NC],
you keep proclaiming the death of the Lord [as an angel in the case of the ARC], until he arrives [].
27 Consequently whoever eats the loaf or drinks the cup of the Lord [the loaf OR the cup of the ARC - the two are SEPARATE. Do not eat a sealing loaf unless you are sealed]
unworthily will be guilty respecting the body and the blood of the Lord [The angelic body and the angelic life of Michael].
28 First let a man approve himself after scrutiny [make sure he is a 1NC saint - the LWs know the rules for this scrutiny, the JWs do not. Gordon knows for he is the doorkeeper, the one who shuts without anyone opening and opens without anyone shutting], and thus let him eat of the loaf and drink of the cup.
29 For he that eats and drinks, eats and drinks judgment against himself if he does not discern the body [of Christ, the remnant. We must get the unclean things out of the temple of the body of Christ - we have seen this unclean state of affairs before in the old testament with the physical temple several times].
30 That is why many among you are weak and sickly, and quite a few are sleeping [in death].
31 But if we would discern what we ourselves are, we would not be judged.
32 However, when we are judged, we are disciplined by Jehovah, that we may not become condemned with the world.
33 Consequently, my brothers, when you come together to eat [it], wait for one another.
34 If anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, that you may not come together for judgment [So this meal is not to be eaten at home, but when the congregation all comes together, the congregation being the greater family. The hunger is not for the bread of the emblems first century Christians were not that aspiritual. It was for the lovely roasted Passover lamb itself. If one ate some of that before the first cup then one ruined the festival for oneself. This statement proves that at least one cup and loaf were taken before the meal]. But the remaining matters I will set in order when I get there. (1 Corinthians 11).
Jesus gave thanks for every cup (to all those involved in that covenant) AND for the one loaf of the ARC, since he was given everlasting angelic life by that covenant.
Now the first cup mentioned in Luke is drunk before the loaf of the ARC. It is the blood of the ARC. But it does not flow around a body defined by the loaf since the loaf of a sealing covenant is only eaten by the blessor. Take it but not Take Eat. So with sealing covenants the cup comes first and the blood flows around the body of those under the sealing test, but not the body of the blessing of the sealing covenant.
Another way of seeing that several cups were drunk is that Judas was still at the table after they had had the evening meal and after Jesus said the blessing on the cup, which is 'the new covenant'. So Judas certainly drank the cup which was drunk during the meal and ate the related bread. In fact Mark tells us that 'they all drank out of it', referring to the cup drunk with the meal. And Jesus commanded them during the meal saying: Drink out of it all of you. But Judas cannot have drunk the wine of the new covenant, because Jesus was not about to marry him, having effectively called him unclean earlier in the evening.
26 As they continued eating, Jesus took a loaf and, after saying a blessing, he broke it and, giving it to the disciples, he said: Take,
eat. This is my body [Not Jesus' human body. But Isaac's non adamic human body. For he was the validation sacrifice for the 1AC. But Jesus possessed Isaac. So his body was Jesus' body too!].
27 Also, he took a cup [of the 1AC] and, having given thanks, he gave it to them, saying: Drink out of it, all of you [not drink out of it you singular; so they passed it around themselves]
28 for this is my 'blood of the covenant,'
[Isaac was in the blood line from Melchizedek,
Jesus' firstborn non adamic human son to Jesus. And again Michael possessed Isaac] the [one] being poured out AROUND [peri] many for forgiveness of sins
[not just 144,000] for forgiveness of sins.
29 But I tell you, I will by no means drink henceforth any of this product of the vine [this product of the vine of salvation is cup of the 1AC. The vine is the whole salvation plan, with 3 branches, being the 3 master salvation covenants. We all end up in the ARC eventually. We are all eventually saved by Jesus. All branches end up in the root which is him. "Furthermore, there is no salvation in anyone else, for there is not another name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must get saved" Acts 4:12. There are many names under heaven that have been given among men by which we can or may be saved. These are the names of all of the mediators of all of the salvation covenants. But at some point we must be saved by Jesus since he is exclusive on getting everlasting life. There is no other mediator of this. All other salvation covenants have alternatives in different systems or through different paths in a system. Abraham is the father of us all in the Abrahamjc system] until that day when I drink it new with you
[plural] in the kingdom of my Father
30 Finally, after singing praises, they went out to the Mount of Olives (Matthew 26).
For the 1AC the body is defined by eating the loaf, the pieces of which are handed by the priest to the partakers, one by one like they do in Babylon.
After that the blood of the 1AC flows around the body which is defined by the bread. So the cup is passed from one to another among the sons of the 1AC. This is true for testing covenants such as the 1AC and the 1NC but not for sealing covenants such as the FRC and ARC.
For the FRC and the ARC the cup is passed from one to another amongst the partakers (clockwise for a fleshly covenant such as the FRC and anticlockwise for a sealing covenant such as the ARC). The, after that, the loaf is handed by the priest to each partaker who takes it and then hands it back. Only the priest actually eats the loaf of a sealing covenant.
13 Christ by purchase released us from the curse of the Law by becoming a curse instead of us, because it is written: Accursed is every man hanged upon a stake.
14 The purpose was that the blessing of Abraham might come to be in Jesus Christ for the nations [the blessing of the 1AC is kingdom citizenship which results from being sealed either into the FRC or the LRC. Jesus was the validation sacrifice for one of these, the OMC which he himself made with the faithful evildoer crucified next to him. The blessing of Abraham for Israel came through the FRC of Melchizedek],
that we might receive the promised spirit through our faith.
15 Brothers, I speak with a human illustration: A validated covenant, though it is a man's, no one sets aside or attaches additions to it.
16 Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. It says, not: And to seeds, as in the case of many such, but as in the case of one: And to your seed, who is Christ.
17 Further, I say this: As to the covenant previously validated by God [Jehovah-Jireh 'God will provide' the knife for Isaac. The 1AC was validated by the death of non adamic Isaac aged 180 years], the Law that has come into being 430 years later [430 years not after the validation sacrifice but after the inauguration of the 1AC, the start of the 1AC, the crossing of the Euphrates by Abraham] does not invalidate it, so as to abolish the promise.
18 For if the inheritance is due to law, it is no longer due to promise; whereas God has kindly given it to Abraham through a promise.
19 Why, then, the Law? It was added to make transgressions manifest, until the seed should arrive to whom the promise had been made; and it was transmitted through angels by the hand of a mediator.
20 Now there is no mediator where only one person is concerned, but God is only one. (Galatians 3 NWT)
22 And as they continued eating, he took a loaf [of the FRC], said a blessing, broke it and gave it to them, and said: Take it [not eat it!]. This is my body [actually it is the body of Melchizedek who was Jared, the 2nd Adam and the mediator of the FRC. Now Adam was the son of God until he died. Then he was resurrected from Hades by future ransom as a son of Jesus and a grandson of Jehovah. So the 2nd Adam, Melchizedek, was a 2nd human son of Jesus. So Melchizedek was a member of the house of Jesus, a part of his patriarchal body. Michael does not own the body of Melchizedek, who was motherless, fatherless and without (human) genealogy (As Adam was begin a son initially of Jehovah and on resurrection of Michael). But the genetic house of Israel is Israel, the composite body of Israel, to God. And Michael was not the father of Melchizedek].
23 And taking a cup [of the FRC], he offered thanks and gave it to them, and they all drank out of it [this cup is passed around the body of the 1AC for it to flow around the body of Abraham, not the body of the FRC which is the body of Melchizedek. Whereas the loaf is passed to each one by the priest - like they do in Babylon. The 1NC priest will be sealed into the FRC and therefore clean to say the blessing on that cup! He is also clean to eat the loaf and pass it to each one of the partakers. But the partakers will not all be clean to eat the loaf. So it is best if nobody eats a sealing loaf but the priest. Take but do not eat!]
24 And he said to them: This is my 'blood of the covenant,' the [one] being poured out OVER [uper]
many [not just 144,000. The blood of Melchizedek was not the blood of Jesus. This is the human blood of Jesus (Yeshua). It too is poured out for many, like the 1AC. But it is not poured out for the forgiveness of sins, since it is a sealing covenant].
25 Truly I say to you, I shall by no means drink anymore of the product of the vine ['the blood'
of a sealing covenant. This refers to the cup of the FRC and is true of the cup of the ARC] until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God [not said to be with you]
26 Finally, after singing praises, they went out to the Mount of Olives (Mark 14)
12 And that [man] will show you a large upper room [for heavenly kings as opposed to earthly kings] furnished. Get [it] ready there.
13 So they departed and found it just as he had said to them, and they got the Passover ready.
14 At length when the hour came, he reclined at the table,
and the apostles with him.
15 And he said to them: I have greatly desired to eat this Passover [meal of lamb and unleavened bread and bitter greens and the 4 loaves of the 4 covenants] with you before I suffer;
16 for I tell you, I will not eat it again until it becomes completed [plhrwqh] [when the last 6,000 1NC reserves come in on 2019Elul14 and 2019Tishri14 and 2019Heshvan14 and 2019Chislev14 and 2019Tebbeth14 and 2020Tammuz14,
and eat the completed meal which includes the final course of the post sacrificial fish course - Christian food] in the kingdom of God.
17 And, taking-with-the-hand/grasping a cup [dexomai] [the cup of the ARC], he gave thanks and said: Take this and pass it from one to the other among yourselves;
18 for I tell you, From now on I will not drink again from the product of the vine [of any sealing covenant. This refers to the cup of the ARC and is true for the FRC] until the kingdom of God arrives.
19 Also, he took a loaf, gave thanks, broke it, and gave it to them, saying: This is my body [of the ARC], the [one] being given OVER [uper]
you [not many but you]. Keep doing this in remembrance of me [keep giving thanks for, keep breaking, keep receiving BUT NOT EATING eating the loaf of the ARC in remembrance of me,
for the ARC was truly the loaf of Michael's body, and breaking it is his death as an angel].
20 Also, the cup in the same way after they had the evening meal, he saying: This cup is the new covenant [the cup of the 1NC] in/within/by virtue of my blood [not my blood, but by virtue of my blood], the [one] being poured out OVER [uper] you [this may also mean that the cup is poured out but not drunk for a period. If there is no 1NC saint present, the cup should still be poured out!!] (Luke 22).
1 Now, because he knew before the festival of the Passover that his hour had come for him to move out of this world to the Father, Jesus, having loved his own that were in the world, loved them to the end. (John 13 NWT)
2 So, while the evening meal was going on, the Devil having already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, to betray him,
3 he, knowing that the Father had given all things into [his] hands and that he came forth from God and was going to God,
4 got up from the evening meal and laid aside his outer garments. And, taking a towel, he girded himself.
5 After that he put water into a basin and started to wash the feet of the disciples and to dry them off with the towel with which he was girded.
6 And so he came to Simon Peter. He said to him: Lord, are you washing my feet?
7 In answer Jesus said to him: What I am doing you do not understand at present, but you will understand after these things.
8 Peter said to him: You will certainly never wash my feet. Jesus answered him: Unless I wash you, you have no part with me.
9 Simon Peter said to him: Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head.
10 Jesus said to him: He that has bathed does not need to have more than his feet washed, but is wholly clean. And you men are clean, but not all.
11 He knew, indeed, the man betraying him. This is why he said: Not all of you are clean.
12 When, now, he had washed their feet and had put his outer garments on and laid himself down at the table again, he said to them: Do you know what I have done to you?
13 you address me, 'Teacher,' and, 'Lord,' and you speak rightly, for I am such.
14 Therefore, if I, although Lord and Teacher, washed your feet, you also ought to wash the feet of one another.
15 For I set the pattern for you, that, just as I did to you, you should do also [the 1NC reserve kings are to be baptised in water by each other over a period of 120 days (12 pairs of feet) from 2019Elul7,
for the 1st one and then from 2019Elul10, the start of the 3rd part of the 2nd presence, to 2019Tebbeth10, the end of 1NC baptism into reappointed Laodicea. EVERY 1NC must be 3EC baptised into Laodicea during those 120+1 days. Jesus (who is acting as Laodicea and their 2NC saints) takes off his outer garments (this is the 2NCs handing over the priesthood to the 1NCs for the Passover night). We dry their feet because they get a completed water baptism. That being the power of our loins?]
A journey of 3 day into the wilderness and then we sacrifice to Jehovah OR a journey of 3 days into the wilderness during which we sacrifice to Jehovah. That is the deliberate ambiguity of the scripture. Both meanings must be fulfilled.
In the literal account the 3 days ran from 1513Iyyar10, when they crossed the Reed Sea to 1513Iyyar13 when they arrived at the bitter waters of Marah. Then they sacrificed the late Passover at Elim on 1513Iyyar14.
In the Laodicean fulfilment the 3 days are the evening from 2005Sivan14 to 2005Adar1, then the day of Laodicea to 2017Elul10, then the evening to 2019Ab1, then the day of reappointed Laodicea to 2019Adar16, then the evening to 2020Sivan12 (the theft of the 4EC baptism by reverted Laodicea), then the day of reverted Laodicea to
2023Tishri21. During these 3 days Laodiceans are sacrificed and die to Adam and to Cain before being resurrected to non adamic Abraham on the 3rd day counting their death as day1.
So we sacrifice to Jehovah for 3 Passover nights of 3 Passover days in the wilderness as Moses requested. And the 1NC lambs chosen are all in the first year of their re water baptism into the 3EC and none of them gets to be more than one year old before they die sacrificially. This is therefore a 'real' sacrifice, a death to Adam and a standing resurrection to non adamic Abraham. Likewise the HLCs and the 2NCs are killed to Adam and given a standing resurrection to non adamic Abraham by 4EC baptism] (John 13)
The male Passover victim, one per house, puts the blood of the 3EC on the door frame. at the 1st Watchtower Passover the 2NC priest washes the feet of the 1NC reserve sacrifice - showing our subjection to him. 1NC reserve queens just partake of the 1NC cup and loaf. They do not get their feet washed.
We also have the account by Paul in 1 Corinthians 11. Paul himself only understood the loaf of the 1NC and the cup of the 1NC at the time he wrote this letter. But his words are of course inspired...
18 For first of all, when you come together in a congregation, I hear divisions exist among you; and in some measure I believe it.
19 For there must also be sects among you, that the persons approved may also become manifest among you [in the greater meaning we have the sect of Laodicea]
20 Therefore, when you come together to one place, it is not possible to eat the Lord's evening meal.
21 For, when you eat [it], each one takes his own evening meal beforehand, so that one is hungry but another is intoxicated [being hungry might lead one to eat the lamb before the first loaf, and being drunk might lead one to drink the wrong cup].
22 Certainly you do have houses for eating and drinking, do you not?
[Yes, the houses of the 1AC, the FRC, the ARC, the 1NC and the HLC in the greater meaning. The 5 loaves and 5 cups of which houses are drunk at the Passover] Or do you despise the congregation of God and make those who have nothing ashamed? What shall I say to you? Shall I commend you? In this I do not commend you. (1 Corinthians 11 NWT).
Earlier in this letter to the Corinthians we read:
16 The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not a sharing in the blood of the Christ? [Binary Question. Yes and No. The 1NC is by virtue of Michael's blood, but the blood of that covenant is the blood of Gabriel. However the blood of the ARC is the blood of Michael and Gabriel was a Christ!]? The loaf which we break, is it not a sharing in the body of the Christ? [Binary Question. Yes and No. for the same reasons]?
17 Because we, the many, are one bread, one body, for we all partake of the one bread/loaf. (1 Corinthians 10 GLT)
Yes they all partake out of the one loaf, the 1AC loaf. The sealed ones into the FRC partake of that loaf. The sealed ones into the ARC partake of that loaf and the 1NCs partake of that loaf. There is only one loaf out of which they all partake!.
16 for I tell you, I will not eat it again until it becomes filled [literally - filled full, satiated, gorged, made full, completed - Liddell] in the kingdom of God. (Luke 22 NWT)
16 legw gar umin oti ou mh fagw auto ewj otou plhrwqh en th basileia tou qeou (Luke 22 SCSa)
Asherites, are the sons of Zilpah, the maidservant of Leah, the 1NC. So they are given to Jacob (Jesus) as a concubine, when Jesus marries Zilpah's owner, who is Leah. So they must drink the cup of the HLC immediately after the 1NC cup is drunk. Because Jesus is the Husband of the 1NC Kings and each 1NC King is the Husband of his HLC Overlords. Just as Jacob was the owner of Leah and Leah was the owner of Zilpah. This is the giving of the maidservant to the husband - which is not automatic, but was a choice of Leah in her time and is a choice of both parties in the present time.
53 Then Jesus said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you,
Except you eat the flesh of the Son of Man, and drink His blood, you do not have life in yourselves.
54 The one partaking of My flesh and drinking of My blood has everlasting life, and I will raise him up at the last day.
55 For My flesh is truly food, and My blood is truly drink.
56 The [one] partaking of My flesh and drinking of My blood abides in Me, and I in him.
57 Even as the living Father sent Me, and I live through the Father; also the [one] partaking Me, even that one will live through Me.
58 This is the Bread which came down out of Heaven, not as your fathers ate the manna and died; the [one] partaking of this Bread will live forever. (John 6 GLT)
The Asherites, the Overlords, are indeed born again angelically. So they must eat the flesh of Jesus and drink his blood. They drink the cup and eat the loaf of the HLC after the 1NCs have finished theirs.
3 And she said, Behold my servant Bilhah! Go in to her and let her bear on my knees [for that is how the LWs baptise]; yea, let me be built up from her, me also.
4 And she gave her slave-girl Bilhah to him for a woman/wife [the Hebrew word Ishshah can mean either]. And Jacob went in to her.
5 And Bilhah conceived and bore a son to Jacob. (Genesis 30 GLT)
The Asher cup had is not referred to in the Gospels because the HLC, was not made until the 2nd administration of TCC2.
Not sure when Benjamin drink the cup of the 2NC OMC.
Most of the sons of Asher will never have drunk the cup of the HLC. But that does not matter because the maidservant can be given to the master by her mistress without her consent.
9 And Leah saw that she had ceased from bearing. And she took Zilpah, her slave-girl, and gave her to Jacob for a woman/wife [the Hebrew word Ishshah can mean either]. (Genesis 30 GLT)
Had Zilpah been a wife there would have to have been a cup drunk.
To cut a long story short the finished jigsaw of the whole meal is something like this:
[1] Evening falls on Thursday March 31st 33 CE (33Nisan14)
[2] Jesus reclines at the table with 12 in an upper room (Matthew 26:20).
[3] Jesus: And he said to them: I have greatly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer; for I tell you, I will not eat it again until it becomes fulfilled in the kingdom of God (Luke 22:15,16).
[4a] Jesus took a loaf (1st loaf, the loaf of the ARC), gave thanks for his everlasting angel, blessed it, broke it, and gave it to them (Luke 22:19)
Jesus: This is my body which is to be given in your behalf. Keep doing this in remembrance of me (Luke 22:19).
[4b] Jesus took a cup (1st cup, the cup of the ARC), blessed it, gave thanks and gave it to them (Luke 22:17)
[4c] Start eating the Passover meal (Mark 14:22).
22 And eating of them, he took a loaf, said a blessing, broke it and gave it to them, and said: Take it [NO eat]. This is my body [FRC].
[4d] Jesus accepted a loaf (2nd loaf, the loaf of the FRC). Said a blessing and broke the loaf (Mark 14:22)
[4e] Jesus accepted a cup (2nd cup, the cup of the FRC). Gave thanks, said a blessing (Mark 14:23) and said:
24 And he said to them: This is my 'blood of the covenant,' which is to be poured out in behalf of many [Not for the forgiveness of sins - this is a sealing covenant for the many. The bread is not eaten] [FRC]
[5] Jesus got up during the meal laid aside his outer garments and girding himself with a towel he put water into a basin and started to wash the feet of his disciples and to dry them off with the towel with which he was girded (John13:5).
[6] Peter: Lord are you washing my feet (John 13:6).
[7] Jesus: What I am doing you do not understand at present, but you will understand after theses things (John 13:7).
[8] Peter: You will certainly never wash my feet (John 13:8)
[9] Jesus: Unless I wash you, you have no part with me (John 13:8).
[10] Peter: Lord not my feet only but also my hands and my head (John 13:9).
[11] Jesus: He that has bathed does not need to have more than his feet washed, but is wholly clean. And you men are clean but not all (John 13:10).
[12] He knew, indeed, the man betraying him. This is why he said: Not all of you are clean.
When, now, he had washed their feet and had put his outer garments on and laid himself down at the table again, he said to them: Do you know what I have done to you?
You address me, 'Teacher,' and, 'Lord,' and you speak rightly for I am such.
Therefore, if I, although Lord and Teacher, washed your feet, you also ought to wash the feet of one another.
For I set the pattern for you, that, just as I did to you, you should do also.
Most truly I say to you, A slave is not greater than his master nor is one that is sent forth greater than the one that sent him. If you know these things,
happy you are if you do them.
I am not talking about all of you; I know the ones I have chosen. But it is in order that the Scripture might be fulfilled,
'He that used to feed on my bread has lifted up his heel against me.'
From this moment on I am telling you before it occurs, in order that when it does occur you may believe that I am [he].
Most truly I say to you: He that receives anyone I send receives me [also]. In turn he that receives me, receives [also] him that sent me.
After saying these things, Jesus became troubled in spirit, and he bore witness and said... (John 13:11-21).
[13] Jesus: Truly I say to you, one of you who is eating with me will betray me (Matthew 26:21, Mark 14:18, John 13:21)
[14] The disciples began to look at one another, being at a loss as to which one he was saying [it] about (John 13:22).
[15] Each and every one said: Lord it is not I is it? (Matthew 26:22)
[16] Jesus: It is one of the 12 who is dipping with me into the common bowl (Mark 14:20)
[17] Jesus: He that dips his hand with me in the bowl is the one that will betray me (Matthew 26:23)
[18] Jesus: True, the Son of man is going away, just as it is written concerning him, but woe to that man through whom the Son of man is betrayed! It would have been finer for him if that man had not been born (Matthew 26:24, Mark 14:21)
[19] Judas: It is not I is it Rabbi? (Matthew 26:25).
[20] Jesus: You yourself said it (Matthew 26:25).
[22] Jesus took a loaf (3rd loaf, the loaf of the 1AC), gave thanks, said a blessing, broke the loaf, gave it to the disciples saying:
26 Take eat, this is my body (Matthew 26)
[23] Jesus took a cup (3rd cup, the cup of the 1AC), gave thanks, said a blessing, gave it to the disciples saying:
27 Drink out of it all of you, 28 for this is my blood of the covenant (1AC) which is being poured out on behalf of many for the forgiveness of sins (Matthew 26).
[24] Jesus: But I tell you I will by no means henceforth drink any of this product of the vine [the blood of Isaac of the 1AC] until the day when I drink it new with you in the Kingdom of my Father (Matthew 26:29).
[25] Evening meal ends (Luke 22:20).
[26] Inferred from Luke 22:20 - Jesus too a loaf (the 4th loaf, the loaf of the 1NC), gave thanks, blessed it, broke it and gave it to the disciples and the disciples ate the bread.
[27] Also, the cup (the 4th cup, the cup of the 1NC) in the same way after they had the evening meal, he saying: This cup means the new covenant by virtue of my blood, which is to be poured out in your behalf (Luke 22:20). [But he did not give the cup to his disciples just yet - Notice he did not say that he would not drink anymore of this product of the vine until the Kingdom].
[28] But, look! the hand of my betrayer is with me at the table. Because the Son of man is going his way according to what is marked out; all the same, woe to that man through whom he is betrayed! (Luke 22:21,22).
[29] So they started to discuss among themselves the question of which of them would really be the one that was about to do this. However, there also arose a heated dispute among them over which one of them seemed to be greatest (Luke 22:23,24).
[30] There was reclining in front of Jesus' bosom one of his disciples, and Jesus loved him.
Therefore Simon Peter nodded to this one and said to him: Tell who it is about whom he is saying [it].
So the latter leaned back upon the breast of Jesus and said to him: Lord, who is it?
Therefore Jesus answered: It is that one to whom I shall give the morsel that I dip. And so, having dipped the morsel, he took and gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.
And after the morsel then Satan entered into the latter. Jesus, therefore, said to him: What you are doing get done more quickly.
However, none of those reclining at the table knew for what purpose he said this to him.
Some, in fact, were imagining, since Judas was holding the money box, that Jesus was telling him: Buy what things we need for the festival, or that he should give something to the poor.
Therefore, after he received the morsel, he went out immediately. And it was night (John 13:23-30).
[31] Jesus: The kings of the nations lord it over them, and those having authority over them are called Benefactors.
You, though, are not to be that way. But let him that is the greatest among you become as the youngest, and the one acting as chief as the one ministering.
However, you are the ones that have stuck with me in my trials;
and I make a covenant with you, just as my Father has made a covenant with me,
for a kingdom,
that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones to judge the 12 tribes of Israel (Luke 22:25-30). Now Jesus gave the cup to the 11 apostles, after the covenant was made.
[32] Hence when he (Judas)
had gone out, Jesus said: Now the Son of man is glorified, and God is glorified in connection with him. And God will himself glorify him, and he will glorify him immediately.
Little children, I am with you a little longer. You will look for me; and just as I said to the Jews, 'Where I go you cannot
come,' I say also to you at present.
I am giving you a new commandment, that you love one another; just as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love among yourselves. (John 13:31-35).
[33] Simon Peter said to him: Lord, where are you going?
Jesus answered: Where I am going you cannot follow me now, but you will follow afterwards.
Peter said to him: Lord, why is it I cannot follow you at present? I will surrender my soul in your behalf.
Jesus answered: Will you surrender your soul in my behalf? (John 13:36,37).
[34] Simon,
Simon, look! Satan has demanded to have you men to sift you as wheat.
But I have made supplication for you that your faith may not give out; and you,
when once you have returned, strengthen your brothers (Luke 22:25,32)
[35] Peter: Lord, I am ready to go with you both into prison and into death (Luke 22:33).
[36] Jesus: Most truly I say to you, Peter, A cock will not crow today until you have 3 times denied knowing me (Luke 22:34, John 13:38).
[37] Jesus: When I sent you forth without purse and food pouch and sandals, you did not want for anything, did you?
[38] 11 apostles: No (Luke 22:35)
[39] Jesus: But now let the one that has a purse take it up, likewise also a food pouch; and let the one having no sword
sell his outer garment and buy one. For I tell you that this which is written must be accomplished in me, namely, 'And he was reckoned with lawless ones.' For that which concerns me is having an accomplishment (Luke 22:36,37)
[40] Then they said: Lord, look! here are two swords. He said to them: It is enough (Luke 22:38)
[41] Sang praises (Matthew 26:30).
[42] Went to the mount of olives (Matthew 26:30).
The third cup, the blood of the covenant for the many, the cup of the 1AC, has nothing to do with the new covenant because it is for the many and the new covenant is for the few, which few are referred to by 'in your behalf' in the 4 accounts. But whose blood was the blood of the covenant in the case of 1AC?
Well, in the case of the law covenant we know that the blood of the bull was the ‘blood of the covenant’:
8 So Moses took the blood and sprinkled it upon the people and said: Here is the blood of the covenant that Jehovah has concluded with you as respects all these words (Exodus 24).
In the case of the Land and Circumcision Covenant we have the sacrifice by prepared by Abraham but stipulated and offered up by God:
9 In turn he said to him: Take for me a three-year-old heifer and a three-year-old she-goat and a three-year-old ram and a turtledove and a young pigeon.
10
So he took all these to himself and cut them in two and put each part of them so as to match the other, but the birds he did not cut in pieces (Genesis 15).
A highly symbolic sacrifice, if ever there was one. But certainly these animals provided the blood of the Land and Circumcision Covenant.
Now Paul has explained to us that every covenant needs to be validated by a blood sacrifice:
16 For where there is a covenant,
the death of the [human] covenanter needs to be furnished.
17
For a covenant is valid over dead [victims], since it is not in force at any time while the [human] covenanter is living.
18
Consequently neither was the former [covenant] inaugurated without blood....
19
For when every commandment according to the Law had been spoken by Moses to all the people, he took the blood of the young bulls and of the goats with water and scarlet wool and hyssop and sprinkled the book itself and all the people,
20
saying: This is the blood of the covenant that God has laid as a charge upon you....
22
Yes, nearly all things are cleansed with blood according to the Law, and unless blood is poured out no forgiveness takes place... (Hebrews 9).
So every covenant needs a blood sacrifice to validate it. Now Paul describes a covenant, which is validated by God.
17 Further, I say this: As to the covenant previously validated by God, the Law that has come into being four hundred and thirty years later does not invalidate it, so as to abolish the promise (Galatians 3).
So what did God do? The answer is this:
In Genesis 22, Abraham as good as sacrificed Isaac, his firstborn son. If he had actually sacrificed Isaac then we would easily see the missing blood of the First Abrahamic Covenant. But God did not require Abraham to go through with the sacrifice of his son. God stopped him at the last minute. Isaac asked Abraham: Where is the sheep for the burnt offering?
8 To this Abraham said: God will provide himself the sheep for the burnt offering, my son. And both of them walked on together (Genesis 22).
Then, when Abraham was just about to kill his son with the knife:
11 Jehovah's angel began calling to him out of the heavens and saying: Abraham, Abraham! to which he answered: Here I am!
12
And he went on to say: Do not put out your hand towards the boy and do not do anything at all to him, for now I do know that you are God-fearing in that you have not withheld your son, your only one, from me.
13
At that Abraham raised his eyes and looked and there, deep in the foreground,
there was a ram caught by its horns in a thicket. So Abraham went and took the ram and offered it up for a burnt offering in place of his son.
14
And Abraham began to call the name of that place Jehovah-jireh. This is why it is customarily said today: In the mountain of Jehovah it will be provided (Genesis 22).
Jehovah - Jireh: 'God will provide'. In the mountain of Jehovah it will be provided. Yes it was Abraham who sacrificed the sheep, but the blood of a sheep can plainly provide no redemption for mankind, it is only of a symbolic value. The sheep in the thicket is a type for the validation sacrifice of the Christ with his crown of thorns. God will provide the sacrifice for the 1AC. Fine, but who was the validation sacrifice for the 1AC?
Well look at the faith of Abraham, truly this is what our God foresaw in this man and why he made the promise to him. He would have sacrificed his firstborn and only son (who was willing) in validation of the 1AC presumably had God not stopped him. And look at Abraham's reasoning behind making this near sacrifice:
17 By faith Abraham, when he was tested, as good as offered up Isaac, and the man that had gladly received the promises attempted to offer up [his] only-begotten [son],
18
although it had been said to him: What will be called 'your seed' will be through Isaac [indeed the sons of the 1AC are through Isaac, the validation sacrifice for the 1AC].
19
But he reckoned that God was able to raise him up even from the dead; and from there he did receive him also in an illustrative way [he received him from the dead as a validation sacrifice for his covenant] (Hebrews 11).
This wasn’t blind faith, it was the rationalised wisdom of a spiritual man, who saw what no other man could see by using his power of reason, to see with the eyes of his mind.
33 Oh the depth of God's riches and wisdom and knowledge! How unsearchable his judgments [are] and past tracing out his ways [are]! (Romans 11).
So the third cup at the last supper was the 1AC, and the blood of the covenant was the blood of Isaac who was non adamic - see Intro21, but nonetheless died and therefore died sacrificially. He was the sacrifice provided by Jehovah (rather than Adam) for the 1AC. and god himself sacrificed Isaac when he died aged 180 years rather than Abraham doing it.
28 And the days of Isaac came to be 180 years.
29 After that Isaac expired and died and was gathered to his people, old and satisfied with days, and Esau and Jacob his sons buried him (Genesis 35 NWT).
God did not sacrifice the first Jesus in the Jordan river. Immanuel was raptured just as Michael entered his body, since he was non-adamic. It was Caiaphas, the high priest under law, who sacrificed the human body of Jesus, thereby ending both the law and the necessity for Jews to pay any attention to his own priesthood.
Jesus' Yeshuaian non adamic human body provided the validation sacrifice for the OMC - see U218
So Jesus, by his human sacrifice, turned the curse of the law in to the love of the good Samaritan.
So now we can more fully understand Galatians 3...
13 Christ by purchase released us from the curse of the Law by becoming a curse instead of us, because it is written: Accursed is every man hanged upon a stake.
14 The purpose was that the blessing of Abraham might come to be in Jesus Christ for the nations [the blessing of the 1AC is kingdom citizenship which results from being sealed either into the FRC or the OMC. Jesus was the validation sacrifice for one of these, the OMC which he himself made with the faithful evildoer crucified next to him. The blessing of Abraham for Israel came through the FRC of Melchizedek or the FRC of Jesus (Yeshua)],
that we might receive the promised spirit through our faith.
15 Brothers, I speak with a human illustration: A validated covenant, though it is a man's, no one sets aside or attaches additions to it.
16 Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. It says, not: And to seeds, as in the case of many such, but as in the case of one: And to your seed, who is Christ.
17 Further, I say this: As to the covenant previously validated by God [Jehovah-Jireh 'God will provide' the knife for Isaac. The 1AC was validated by the death of non adamic Isaac aged 180 years], the Law that has come into being 430 years later [430 years not after the validation sacrifice but after the inauguration of the 1AC, the start of the 1AC, the crossing of the Euphrates by Abraham] does not invalidate it, so as to abolish the promise.
18 For if the inheritance is due to law, it is no longer due to promise; whereas God has kindly given it to Abraham through a promise.
19 Why, then, the Law? It was added to make transgressions manifest, until the seed should arrive to whom the promise had been made; and it was transmitted through angels by the hand of a mediator.
20 Now there is no mediator where only one person is concerned, but God is only one. (Galatians 3 NWT)
And we can more fully understand Genesis 22...
2 And he went on to say: Take, please, your son, your only son whom you so love, Isaac, and make a trip to the land of Moriah [God has chosen] and there offer him up as a burnt offering on one of the mountains that I shall designate to you.
3 So Abraham got up early in the morning and saddled his ass [the congregation of the sons of the 1AC]
and took 2 of his boys/servants/attendants [Melchizedek,
the validation sacrifice for the FRC and Jesus the validation sacrifice for the OMC] with him and Isaac his son; and he split the wood for the burnt offering. Then he rose and went on the trip to the place that the [true] God designated to him.
4 It was first on the 3rd day that Abraham raised his eyes and began to see the place from a distance.
5 Abraham now said to his attendants: You stay here with the ass [the 2 sealing covenants for the 1AC (the FRC and the OMC) wait with the sons of the 1AC], but I and the boy want to go on over there and worship and return to you [once we have validated the 1AC so that you can then seal people into the blessing of Abraham a Kingdom body - Melchizedaic or Yeshuaian].
6 After that Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering and put it upon Isaac his son and took in his hands the fire and the slaughtering knife, and both of them went on together.
7 And Isaac began to say to Abraham his father: My father!
In turn he said: Here I am, my son! So he continued: Here are the fire and the wood, but where is the sheep for the burnt offering?
8 To this Abraham said: God will provide himself the sheep for the burnt offering, my son [indeed, the sheep will be 'my son' at his death aged 180]. And both of them walked on together [the mediator and the validation sacrifice for the 1AC].
9 Finally they reached the place that the [true] God had designated to him, and Abraham built an altar there and set the wood in order and bound Isaac his son and put him upon the altar on top of the wood.
10 Then Abraham put out his hand and took the slaughtering knife to kill his son.
11 But Jehovah's angel began calling to him out of the heavens and saying: Abraham, Abraham! to which he answered: Here I am!
12 And he went on to say: Do not put out your hand against the boy and do not do anything at all to him, for now I do know that you are God-fearing in that you have not withheld your son, your only one, from me.
13 At that Abraham raised his eyes and looked and there,
deep in the foreground, there was a ram caught by its horns in a thicket. So Abraham went and took the ram and offered it up for a burnt offering in place of his son.
14 And Abraham began to call the name of that place Jehovah-jireh [Jehovah will see - active voice]. This is why it is customarily said today: In the mountain of Jehovah it will be provided [passive voice it will be seen, be provided]. (Genesis 22 NWT)
The 1NC is a subcovenant of the JAC, so the cup of the First New Covenant contains the blood of JAC, which is the blood of the validation sacrifice of the JAC. This sacrifice cannot be the associated angel of a human who has never consciously entered into his angel because angelic sacrifices are not made due to an angel being killed. Angels cannot be killed other than by God. An angelic sacrifice is a free willed choice made by a conscious angel. But which one?
The first thing to realise is that it wasn't Michael. The reason we know this is that he died to ransom Adam, so he was the validation sacrifice of the angelic ransom covenant, the ARC, which is superior to all covenants, being the final destination of all who are saved. The new covenant is way down the tree from there. This is why Jesus did not say of the new covenant cup: This is my blood of the new covenant. What he said was: This is the new covenant by virtue of my blood. A statement which clearly implies that although his blood is 'responsible' for the new covenant, the blood of the covenant it wasn't. In other words as we have said above, Michael's blood validated a superior covenant.
So who validated the new covenant, who died for it? Well every day under law there were two constant feature sacrifices not one. The first one was in the evening, in the dark, not very visible, and the second was in the morning, fully visible. Since Jesus' sacrifice was in the day and was visible we are looking for a sacrifice at night, which was not so easily visible. The answer is John the baptist who was also non adamic and was possessed by Gabriel - see [229].
A more mundane interpretation of the constant feature is that we should pray to God every morning and every evening. This is not a law. It is a suggestion. A prayer is a lot easier to make than a burnt offering together with its grain offering and its drink offering!!
The sheep of John the baptist came from heavenly mount Zion, the mountain of God, God's heavenly administration because he was non adamic. John was killed by Herod at night, after the daughter of Herodias' death dance. Gabriel had left him before his head was cut off however - see U932 for the full symbolism.
21 But a convenient day came along when Herod spread an evening meal on his birthday for his top-ranking men and the military commanders and the foremost ones of Galilee.
22
And the daughter of this very Herodias came in and danced and pleased Herod and those reclining with him. The king said to the maiden: Ask me for whatever you want, and I will give it to you.
23
Yes, he swore to her: Whatever you ask me for, I will give it to you, up to half my kingdom.
24
And she went out and said to her mother: What should I ask for? She said: The head of John the baptiser (Mark 6).
Of course John had to be non adamic in order to be possessed by the angelic priest Gabriel in order to preside over the angelic entrance of Michael into Jesus, and the angelic rapture of Immanuel, the non adamic carpenter's son.
So John the human was killed although he wasn't under an adamic death sentence, so we have a validation sacrifice here. But which covenant did he validate? Well he was the first Christian Elijah, the first subcovenant of the ICC. So if we follow the pattern of firstborn sons being validators of their father's covenants (that we saw with Isaac validating the 1AC), then John validated the ICC.
But what about Gabriel who possessed him at the start of his ministry up until before he sent two of his disciples to Jesus when he was in Jail to ask if he was the coming one (which Gabriel would not have done having baptised him)?
2 But John, having heard in jail about the works of the Christ, sent by means of his own disciples
3 and said to him: Are you the Coming One, or are we to expect a different one? (Matthew 11 NWT)
19 So John summoned a certain 2 of his disciples and sent them to the Lord to say: Are you the Coming One or are we to expect a different one?
20 When they came up to him the men said: John the Baptist dispatched us to you to say, 'Are you the Coming One or are we to expect another?'
21 In that hour he cured many of sicknesses and grievous diseases and wicked spirits, and granted many blind persons the favour of seeing.
22 Hence in answer he said to the [two]: Go your way,
report to John what you saw and heard: the blind are receiving sight, the lame are walking, the lepers are being cleansed and the deaf are hearing, the dead are being raised up, the poor are being told the good news.
23 And happy is he who has not stumbled over me (Luke 7 NWT).
Well just as Abraham had his covenant seed of the 1AC through the validation sacrifice of his genetic seed Isaac, and just as Isaac had his covenant seed of the ICC through the validation sacrifice of the first submediator of that covenant, John the baptist, so Jesus has his 1NC seed through the validation sacrifice of his firstborn angelic son Gabriel. So that the covenant seed is through the same vehicle as the procreative seed in all 3 cases. So Gabriel ransomed Jacob and all the angelic sons of the JAC are thanks to him. We do not know which angel ransomed Nahor for the NAC or Shem for the SAC.

Every year since the Passover was instigated, down to the very day this web page was first written (April 29, 2003), the physical Jews have always drunk 4 cups at the Passover. Secondly the Jews have eaten three matzos, loaves, placed one upon the other since 1513 BC one presumes. Now the middle loaf is cut in two by the priest and the larger part is hidden by him and then the children have to find it.
2 So, calling a young child to him, he set it in their midst
3 and said: Truly I say to you, Unless you turn around and become as young children, you will by no means enter into the kingdom of the heavens (Matthew 18).
Really, could there be a more obvious symbolism for an angelically possessed Messiah who is found by God's children. Isaac is the second loaf, his human body is the smaller bit, his angelic soul (Michael possessed Isaac) is the larger bit, the bigger deal. The angelic soul is hidden from all Christians and all Jews, except those who are God's sons. Such a simple symbolism. The first and third loaves are Gabriel (the ransom for JAC), and Melchizedek (the ransom for the FRC).
Oh you sons of Jacob, please do not let the holy spirit indefinitely make fools out of you! Wake up and grasp your destiny. True you do not have an exclusive on being God's official people any longer, but who needs an exclusive? You were the firstborn, you have his love, you had the messiah, what more do you want?
Jesus died between the two evenings marking the beginning and end of Nisan14, separated by 24 hours.
5 In the first month, on the 14th day of the month, between the two evenings is the Passover to Jehovah (Leviticus 23).
5 Then they prepared the Passover sacrifice in the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month between the two evenings [between sunset, the first evening, and the night or darkenss, the evening of Genesis 1], in the wilderness of Sinai. According to all that Jehovah had commanded Moses, so the sons of Israel did (Numbers 9).
He has to die on the same day that they slaughtered the Passover victim, for if not then he is not the greater Passover lamb. Since Moses defines that lamb as follows...
6
And it must continue under safeguard by you until the 14th day of this month,
and the whole congregation of the assembly of Israel must slaughter it between the 2 evenings.
7
And they must take some of the blood and splash it upon the 2 doorposts and the upper part of the doorway belonging to the houses in which they will eat it.
8
'And they must eat the flesh on this night. They should eat it roasted with fire and with unfermented cakes along with bitter greens.
9
Do not eat any of it raw or boiled, cooked in water, but roast with fire, its head together with its shanks and its interior parts.
10
And you must not leave any of it over till morning, but what is left over of it till morning you should burn with fire.
11 And in this way you should eat it, with your hips girded, sandals on your feet and your staff in your hand; and you must eat it in haste. It is Jehovah's Passover.
12
And I must pass through the land of Egypt on this night and strike every firstborn in the land of Egypt, from man to beast; and on all the gods of Egypt I shall execute judgments. I am Jehovah (Exodus 12)
So the Passover angel struck on the night of the 14th (in fact at midnight, Exodus 11:4, 12:29).
The Hebrew day starts with sundown, the first evening, and ends with sundown 24 hours later, which is another evening. But night does not fall at sundown, it does not fall until it is completely dark with no light from the sun visible. So there is a period after sundown and before darkness, which is known as twilight. At the end of the twilight period, darkness or night proper begins. Now the Hebrew phrase translated "between the two evenings"
literally means "in the midst of the evenings".
The word meaning "evenings" is from a root meaning: To become dark.
And is in the dual number, which is a special form of plural used for two things, rather than the general plural which can mean a larger number of things than two obviously. Hence the translation "between the two evenings".
But a more literal translation would be "in the midst of the two becoming darks." But there are two phases to the becoming dark that occurs during a day. One is sundown and the other is the onset of total darkness. So both of these qualify as 'becoming darks' or evenings. In fact, the word for 'evening' really means both of these things. So the lamb was slaughtered between sundown and darkness in the twilight at the start of Nisan14. This is when the Samaritans slaughter it today.
The reason that the Hebrews had two evenings was that they had two days. The 12 hour daylight day ran from first light (before sunrise) to the second evening (darkness). The 24 hour day ran from sunset (the first evening) to sunset. So the first evening (sunset) was the end of their 24 hour day and the second evening (darkness) was the end of their 12 hour day.
Now Jesus was killed at the 9th hour of the day or at around 3pm which is between the two sundowns of Nisan14, which is between the two evenings of that day taking an evening as being a sundown. The trouble lies in the ambiguity of the Hebrew word for evening which can mean sundown or the onset of total darkness.
God knows this, having invented that and all other languages. He uses that ambiguity in his Passover instructions. So Jesus did die between the two evenings, the two sundowns at the start and the end of Nisan14, and the Passover lamb which he ate also died between the two evenings, the first sundown of Nisan14 and the onset of darkness when twilight finished and night started on Nisan14.
It is interesting that Mark says:
12 Now [as regards] the first day of unfermented cakes, when they were sacrificing the Passover [victim], his disciples said to him: Where do you want us to go and prepare for you to eat the Passover? (Mark 14).
This was Nisan14, a day of unfermented cakes in that unfermented cakes were eaten with the Passover lamb. So there are two possible first days of unfermented cakes. There is the first day of the 7 day festival of unfermented cakes when no sourdough is permitted in any houses. Then there is the first day when unfermented cakes are eaten, the Passover, whereupon sourdough is actually permitted in the house.
6 And it must continue under safeguard by you until the fourteenth day of this month, and the whole congregation of the assembly of Israel must slaughter it between the two evenings (Exodus 12).
So one could not sacrifice the Passover lamb on the 13th of Nisan when said lamb had to be safeguarded in the house.
But the whole point of the Passover was that they were up all night stripping the Egyptians. You should not get to bed at a reasonable time on that day! In fact Jesus said to them that night in the garden of Gethsemane. Can you not stay awake one hour with me? He was celebrating the Passover correctly! It is the perfect festival for night owls and Gordon never realised it - doh! - dough!
Luke 22 is very interesting. It says the day of unfermented cakes now arrived on which the Passover must be sacrificed (verse 7). Then it says: And when the hour came, he reclined at the table (verse 14). Now Jesus himself told Peter and John to go and prepare for the meal. Again Luke is calling the Passover of Nisan14 a 'day of unfermented cakes' which indeed it is. But it is not a day of the 7 day festival of unfermented cakes. Now hours always relate to days in the bible and logically. So one should assume that the hour of the meal was in the day of the sacrifice. This means that they killed the lamb just after sundown, they stripped it and prepared it for cooking for an hour or so, then then roasted it for 3 or 4 hours or so and then they eat it around midnight. Now when did the Passover angel strike everyone in Egypt?
29 And it came about that at midnight Jehovah struck every firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh sitting on his throne to the firstborn of the captive who was in the prison hole, and every firstborn of beast (Exodus 12).
4 And Moses went on to say: This is what Jehovah has said,
'About midnight I am going out into the midst of Egypt,
5 and every firstborn in the land of Egypt must die, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who is sitting on his throne to the firstborn of the maidservant who is at the hand mill and every firstborn of beast.
6 And there will certainly occur a great outcry in all the land of Egypt, the like of which has never yet occurred, and the like of
which will never be brought about again (Exodus 11).
So that was the hour when they eat the meal. Jesus would know, he was the Passover angel!! He would now exactly when to eat the Passover commemorating his Egyptian activities. So we should start cooking the lamb just after Sundown, not before, and we should take the meal at midnight.
The Tradition of the Samaritans today is to eat the Passover at midnight...
THE SAMARITAN PASSOVER.
BY WILLIAM E. BARTON, D. D.
On this occasion the lambs were killed just at sunset, and the supper was eaten at midnight. She tells the story in these words: "All the men and boys of the community were assembled dressed in white, waiting for sunset. The ceremony commenced about half an hour before the sun went down. They all began shouting a loud prayer, each one shouting with all his might, and quite independent of the rest. The priest then took his stand on a fallen pillar from the ruins of the ancient Herodian temple, and read aloud the twelfth chapter of Exodus, which gives the narrative of the first Passover. At his feet stood six sheep, all of them males of the first year and without blemish. They were very particular that the sheep should not be killed a minute before or after the sun went down. Just as the sun dipped into the Mediterranean the sheep were killed, the people shouting all the time. The sheep were plunged into caldrons of boiling water to enable them to remove the wool easily. The wool and entrails were thrown into the fire. The hearts, too, were thrown into the fire. When the sheep were prepared they were put upon long wooden spikes. They were then carried to a cemented pit, where they had built a large furnace, where a hot bed of coals p. 213 was ready. Into this the stakes were thrust, and the top was covered with a mat of grass. The lambs were left to roast, because they must not eat the Passover raw nor sodden with water, but roasted with fire. The pit was left in charge of the younger men. The rest went to their tents to wait for midnight. Before dispersing they all embraced and wished each other a happy feast.
"The midnight hour was announced by a herald; and they all rose in haste, put on their sandals, girded up their loins, and took their staves in their hands. The pit was uncovered, and the lambs were placed on white cloths. Each family ate by itself; or if a family was too small, two families ate together. They ate in haste; and they gathered close around the lambs to prevent the Mohammedans, who come up to torment them, from snatching any pieces of meat or bone. As each bone was picked, it was thrown right into the furnace. The fire and the full moon lit up the scene. Everything left over was burned. When all had been burned or eaten, they congratulated one another and dispersed for the night."
Dean Stanley gives in the supplement of the first volume of his Jewish Church a description of the Samaritan Passover as it was p. 214 witnessed in 1854 by Mr. Rogers, English Consul at Damascus, an account of which was afterwards published in Domestic Life in Palestine, page 281. Dean Stanley himself later witnessed the Passover, and in the same article gives interesting recollections of it. Dr. Daud Katibah, in 1900, gave to Rev. Dr. Samuel Ives Curtis an interesting account of the Passover as he had seen it, which Dr. Curtiss published in the supplement to his Primitive Semitic Religion To-day. http://www.sacred-texts.com/journals/oc/sp.htm
The Passover in 2008 was celebrated on Iyyar14, which starts at sundown April 20th. We ate the lamb at midnight God willing. We also stayed awake all night in full observance of the festival.
6. But when God had signified, that with one plague he would compel the Egyptians to let Hebrews go, he commanded Moses to tell the people that they should have a sacrifice ready, and they should prepare themselves on the tenth day of the month Xanthicus, against the fourteenth, (which month is called by the Egyptians Pharmuth, Nisan by the Hebrews; but the Macedonians call it Xanthicus,) and that he should carry the Hebrews with all they had. Accordingly, he having got the Hebrews ready for their departure, and having sorted the people into tribes, he kept them together in one place: but when the fourteenth day was come, and all were ready to depart they offered the sacrifice, and purified their houses with the blood, using bunches of hyssop for that purpose; and when they had supped, they burnt the remainder of the flesh, as just ready to depart. Whence it is that we do still offer this sacrifice in like manner to this day, and call this festival Pascha which signifies the feast of the Passover; because on that day God passed us over, and sent the plague upon the Egyptians; for the destruction of the first-born came upon the Egyptians that night, so that many of the Egyptians who lived near the king's palace, persuaded Pharaoh to let the Hebrews go. Accordingly he called for Moses, and bid them be gone; as supposing, that if once the Hebrews were gone out of the country, Egypt should be freed from its miseries. They also honored the Hebrews with gifts; some, in order to get them to depart quickly, and others on account of their neighborhood, and the friendship they had with them (Josephus - Antiquities of the Jews book II chapter 14 para 6)..
Jesus was the human body of Immanuel possessed by the angel Michael. An angel cannot marry a human, such a thing would be bestiality. So all the 12 apostles had to be angels, born again, before Jesus could propose to them, which he did at the last supper. So they were sanctified before then. Furthermore as a group they had to become divine in order that they could marry Jesus who became divine after his ascension.
Just as Mark and Luke appear ambiguous as to whether the Passover was celebrated on Nisan14 the first day of eating unfermented cakes or Nisan15 the first day of the festival of unfermented cakes, so the old testament is likewise ambiguous.
31 At once he called Moses and Aaron by night and said: Get up, get out from the midst of my people, both you and the [other] sons of Israel, and go, serve Jehovah, just as you have stated (Exodus 12).
1 Let there be an observing of the month of Abib [Nisan], and you must celebrate the Passover to Jehovah your God, because in the month of Abib Jehovah your God brought you out of Egypt by night [the night of Nisan14 when they started to leave and they left Rameses presumably during the day of Nisan15 sleeping the night of Nisan15 in Rameses].
2 And you must sacrifice the Passover to Jehovah your God, of the flock and of the herd, in the place that Jehovah will choose to have his name reside there [near the tent of the tabernacle then in Jerusalem near Solomon's temple then in Jerusalem near Zerubbabel's temple].
3 You must eat nothing leavened together with it [the festival of the Passover] for 7 days [thereafter,
making the 7 day festival of unfermented cakes with occurs together with the Passover, being the 7 days after the Passover]. You should eat together with it unfermented cakes, the bread of affliction, because it was in haste that you came out of the land of Egypt, that you may remember the day of to depart you from the land of Egypt all the days of your life [there are two ways in which this is done. One eats unfermented cakes with the Passover meal on Nisan14, and one eats unfermented cakes for 7 days after from Nisan15 to Nisan21].
4 And no sourdough should be seen with you in all your territory 7 days [of the festival of cakes from Nisan15 to Nisan21], neither should any of the flesh,
which you will sacrifice in the evening on the first day, stay all night until the morning [not of the festival of unfermented cakes but of the eating of unfermented cakes].
5 You will not be allowed to sacrifice the Passover in any one of your cities that Jehovah your God is giving you.
6 But at the place that Jehovah your God will choose to have his name reside there, you should sacrifice the Passover in the evening as soon as the sun goes down/sets, appointed time/anniversary to come you from Egypt [We know that this was at midnight for that is the hour that Jesus celebrated it].
7 And you must do the cook [not boil as the NWT translates - you cannot boil the Passover lamb!] and the eating in the place that Jehovah your God will choose, and in the morning you must turn around and go to your own tents [on Nisan14].
8 6 days you should eat unfermented cakes [Nisan15-Nisan20]; and on the 7th day [Nisan21]
there will be a solemn assembly to Jehovah your God. You must do no work (Deuteronomy 16).
27 Consequently whoever eats the loaf or drinks the cup of the Lord unworthily will be guilty respecting the body and the blood of the Lord.
28 First let a man prove/approve/scrutinize himself, and thus let him eat of the loaf and drink of the cup.
29 For he that eats and drinks eats and drinks judgment against himself if he does not distinguish/discern/separate the [particular]
body.
30 That is why many among you are weak and sickly, and quite a few are sleeping.
31 But if we would distinguish/discern/separate what we ourselves are, we would not be judged.
32 However, when we are judged, we are disciplined by the Lord [How can this occur on an individual basis?], that we may not become condemned with the world. (1 Corinthians 11 NWT)
The church provides a checklist for partakers for each covenant. Each partaker checks himself against that list. If he get this wrong then he defiles himself but not the cup. However if a partaker is known by people in the congregation not to satisfy the criteria for the cup and this knowledge is not given to the elders, then each brother who knows also is defiled as regards that cup. For the command is to pass the cup from one to another among yourselves, not among people not in the relevant salvation covenant mediator's body. If Jesus' blood goes into someone who is not a 1NC saint, then not only is that person defiled as regards that cup, but Jesus' blood is defiled, since it is flowing around an unclean body for it. So the Passover fails for everyone in that drinking group. this may be why Paul changes from the singular to the plural in verses 30-32. Haggai confirms this...
12 If a man carries holy flesh in the skirt of his garment, and he actually touches with his skirt bread or stew or wine or oil or any sort of food, will it become holy?' [the remotest/lowest priests cannot bless the emblems at a memorial/Passover so as to make them the flesh and blood of Jesus - because they are not 1NC saints and do not have the cleanliness which they seek to confer. Also we should bless the lamb and the entire Passover meal] And the priests proceeded to answer and say: No! [If a local elder attempts to bless the bread or the wine at a festival but does not have the holiness himself that he is attempting to confer upon the emblems then his blessing will fail. This is what Gordon wrote to the Watchtower about the Passover on 1994Nisan3 and 1995Nisan10.
Both letters were completely ignored, although Dan Sydlik did admit that he thought the Holy Spirit would make up for any oversight]
13 And Haggai went on to say: If someone unclean by a deceased soul touches any of these things, will it become unclean? In turn the priests answered and said: It will become unclean [if an unsanctified person touches the cup of the Christ, he will defile it]
[The bread and wine are passed around a whole congregation of dead souls at the JW Passover. Therefore the emblems are unclean and the Passover fails. Gordon explained this to the Watchtower Governing Body in his letter of 1994Nisan3].
14 Accordingly Haggai answered and said: 'That is how this people is, and that is how this nation is before me,' is the utterance of Jehovah, 'and that is how all the work of their hands is, and whatever they present there. It is unclean.'
[So all Watchtower festivals - they only have the one - fail. Furthermore the whole nation is now unclean having lost its water baptism due to being unrepentant for putting the throne of Satan in the temple of Jehovah and for riding the UN beast as a harlot church] (Haggai 2)

Non adamic Isaac ransomed Abraham for the 1AC
The Angel Gabriel ransomed Jacob for the JAC superior to the 1NC and the HLC
The Angel Michael ransomed Adam for the ARC
Melchizedek ransomed Adam for the FRC.
Lamb is the sacrificial food of the Old Testament
Fish is the post sacrificial food of the New Testament
Take, observe, but do not eat, this is Melchizedek's non adamic non ageing human body, the bread of the FRC
The First Stage: The Greeting
The presiding priest, who must be a 1NC saint if possible, must humble himself and must expend himself for the brothers and sisters. He must join in the process of welcoming everyone and taking their coats, showing them to their seats etc. He must do the equivalent of washing their feet. He must not delegate this to a minor deity in his presumptuousness. He must follow the example of Jesus. He must love the congregation. All the 1NC saints should 'enter the house' of the congregation that they will celebrate with on Nisan10 in accordance with the regulations of the Passover lamb and following after Palm Monday when Jesus entered the temple. This means that the 'house' for each lamb must be defined by Nisan10, which means that various congregations and people must agree where they are going to hold the Passover and who will preside by Nisan10. The Passover lamb was Jesus' flesh before his death and is his wife's flesh, the bodies of the 1NC saints after his death.
Before the meal starts a recital of the precise events of the Last Supper is read out. A speech describing some aspects of these events is made. It should mention that the sons of the 1AC and the 1NC saints and the 2NC saints and the HLC saints and the sons of the ICC should keep doing these things in remembrance of Jesus (and Melchizedek and Gabriel and Isaac etc). There are 4 loaves and 4 cups, just as the Jews have always eaten and drunk (plus one more loaf and cup for the HLCs of Asher). The Jews are still acting as God's unwitting prophets!! (doing inspired things that they do not understand).
The first is the ARC (superior to the 3BC) this is drunk but not eaten before the meal by all the Kings (not the Lords who are not under ARC sealing).
The second is the FRC (superior to the FBC), and is drunk but not eaten during the meal by all the sons of the 1AC (everyone attending with faith in God as Abraham had)
The third, is the 1AC, and is eaten and drunk during the meal by all the sons of the 1AC (everyone attending with faith in God as Abraham had).
The 4th is the 1NC. This is eaten and drunk after the meal by the 1NC saints only. The apostles were not sealed into the ARC at the last super and so could drink the cup but not eat the loaf of the ARC.
They were sealed at Pentecost: 5 because John, indeed, baptized with water, but you will be baptized in holy spirit not many days after this (Acts 1).
The 5th is the HLC. This is eaten and drunk immediately after the 1NC cup by the HLC saints.
The celebration goes as follows...
The priest must pray to God, in secret, kneeling down, with palms outstretched to the heavens, as Solomon did in 1Kings8. He for forgiveness for all his sins immediately before he starts the celebration. He must also pray for the forgiveness of the sins of everyone at his celebration immediately before the celebration. He is asking for all the participants to be held clean in case some are defiled by something.
The priest must say a public blessing with everybody standing up at the start of the meeting.
The priest conducting the celebration gives thanks to the relevant parties who are God, the Angelic Master mediator and the human Blessing mediator and the System mediator and the ransomer of the System mediator (the validation sacrifice of the system covenant), and possibly the submediator (if any) and then blesses the particular loaf (or loaves if there are a lot of partakers) and breaks the loaf and hands the pieces directly only to the partakers of the particular covenant himself. The loaf is not passed from one to another. Then he blesses the wine and gives one partaker the cup of wine, and this partaker then passes it to the next partaker. And so on from one to another among themselves until they have all had some wine and until the wine has run out. No non partaking person touches this cup to defile it. The priest himself will follow the cup round, topping it up if necessary. Dear reader, can you see the physiological symbolism here? It is beautiful. That is how it works for the testing covenants of the 1AC and the 1NC and the 2NC and the HLC.
The blood is flowing around the body. First the priest defines the stationary parts of the body with the bread. Then the wine, the blood, the moving element of the body, is passed all around them. The cup can go round a second or a third time if necessary until all the wine is drunk. The bread is the body, human or angelic. The blood is the life, the spirit of the validation sacrifice.
However for sealing covenants the loaf is not eaten. It is only taken into the hands and then given back to the priest. Do not let it slip through your fingers! Eating the bread of a sealing covenant is declaring that you are sealed and have the blessing of the ransom already promised to you. Whereas drinking the cup of a sealing covenant is just declaring that you are under testing for that sealing covenant. The blessor of the loaf can eat it for if he is not sealed his blessing will fail anyway. For blessing covenants the cup is drunk first and then the loaf is taken. So that wine flows around the body of those under the sealing test but not around the body of the sealing ransomer.
Each cup must have wine poured out into it, since the pouring out of the wine represents the death of the mediator of the covenant - the pouring out of his blood sacrificially. This cannot occur if the cup is not going to be drunk because there is no clean priest for that cup at the festival.
Fleshly cups flow (1AC, FRC, ICC, CRC) flow clockwise around the body/table as does blood for the lower body returning through the inferior vena cava.
Spirit cups (1NC, 2NC, HLC, ARC) flow anti-clockwise around the body/table as does blood for the upper body and head returning through the superior vena cava.
All the emblems must be consumed after blessing. The cups must be passed around and around until it is empty. All the blessed bread must be eaten.
So Kings have to be spiritual virgins and have to have not defiled themselves with women (by having an actual joining of the flesh with a woman non until a marital agreement whilst having a valid water baptism. One cannot defile unclean flesh). The virginity is spiritual, the defilement is physical in Revelation 14 - see U151.
Kings have to become a part of the holy spirit by covenant and so must be baptised into the name of the holy spirit and so must be sealed and so do drink the cup of the ARC. Lords do not become part of the holy spirit by covenant and therefore are not sealed angelically into everlasting angelic life in this system and so do not drink the cup of the ARC.
Sealing covenant cups are drunk by all baptised into the relevant testing covenant but the loaf is only eaten by those who know they are sealed. For safety that is only the blessor.
The First Cup (ARC, before the meal): Give thanks, then wine drunk anticlockwise, then loaf taken not eaten
Only baptized members of the Lords' Witnesses who are also 1NC Reserve Saints (baptised into the JWs at the right time and of the appropriate age and then baptised into the LWs at the right time) or are also 2NC Kings, can take part in eating the first loaf and drinking from the first cup. HLCs do not partake.
The presiding priest (who must himself be a 1st New Covenant Saint if possible. If not then he must be a 2NC King) gives thanks to God for making the ARC with Michael. And thanks and to Jesus, the ransomer, for validating and mediating the 3BC to Adam. And thanks to Adam, his ransomee, for mediating the blessing of the 3BC to the various System mediators.
The presiding priest (who must be a 1st New Covenant Saint) blesses the first cup, asking God to bless it, so that it represents the blood of the 3BC, the blood of Jesus who was Michael, the validation sacrifice of the 3BC. And he passes the cup to the first sanctified brother/sister saying words to the effect of:
"Take this and pass it from one to another among yourselves. Drink out of it all you children of God through the first and the second new covenants, born again by holy spirit, hoping for the eternal fatherhood of Jesus by virtue of the angelic ransom covenant. For this is Jesus' angelic blood of the 3BC, the covenant immediately inferior to the ARC, the angelic ransom covenant, resulting from Michael’s death as an everlasting spirit offering on 33Nisan16 and taken by God on 33Sivan5. It has been poured out for all God’s spirit begotten children for the forgiveness of their sins forever. This is so that we can serve Jehovah and Jesus and our brothers and sisters in love for ever."
The cup is not touched or passed to anyone who is not a 1st or a 2nd New Covenant King and an LW. The cup is passed around anticlockwise.
All the 1st and 2nd New Covenant Kings pass this single cup around anticlockwise and drink from it.
Then he says a blessing on the first loaf, asking God to bless it so that it represents the everlasting angelic body of Michael, who was Jesus, the validation sacrifice of the 3BC. He breaks it and hands a piece to every LW in the 1NC, saying words to the effect of:
"Take but do not eat, this is Jesus' angelic body, given in ransom of Adam’s associated angelic body in validation of the 3BC, the inferior covenant to the ARC."
The First New Covenant LW brothers and sisters who know they are sealed could in theory eat. But let us not make snap decision in the heat of the festival. It is better if nobody eats it. Let everyone just take loaf into his hands and then gives it back to the priest ( male 1NC reserve saints and female 1NC reserve saints and 2NC Kings and Queens but not HLCs).
The Lamb or Goat Passover Meal
All who are present, whether they are baptized as Lord’s Witnesses or not, can attend and eat the meal and take part in this item. The lamb is placed in a bowl or large dish.
The priest must give thanks for the mediator of the 1NC, Jesus, for giving his blood to wash his wife in. He must bless the lamb to represent the church body of Christ, the 1NC saints. He must consecrate his own body since he himself will be a 1NC saint.
Everyone starts by eating the lamb and the bitter greens (and unblessed unleavened bread an wine). This lamb - when cooked - represents the teachings of the Christ. Whereas the lamb whilst living represents Jesus' body, either directly or through the 1NC saints, the body by covenant of Christ (his wife to be). This lamb does not have to be kept in a house from the 10th to the 14th of Nisan, because Jesus has already fulfilled this. He rode into Jerusalem on Palm Monday, and entered into the temple (his father's house) to throw out the money-lenders on Monday, Nisan 10th, which had started on the Sunday evening (but they did not wave palm branches at his during the night, they did that during the day of 33Nisan10. So it was Palm Monday NOT Palm Sunday.
We do not have to ensure that no bones in it are broken, we do not have to roast its head together with its shanks, we do not have to burn the flesh that is left over in the morning. We do not have to fulfil the conditions of Exodus 12 as regards the lamb because Jesus has already fulfilled them. However if we fail to meet even on of the conditions for the lamb of Exodus 12 we should pray to Jesus to forgive us for that failure on the basis of his sacrifice.
The Jews had to obey Exodus 12 because it was the law of the Passover for them and it was not changed by Jesus at that time. Also it pointed forward to his sacrifice which ended all animal sacrifices. But today the Passover points not forwards prophetically to Jesus but backwards commemoratively to Jesus since he asked us to keep doing this in remembrance of him. So we can call on his sacrifice to forgive failures to obey the precise laws relating to the sheep or goat. In fact we could in theory have a Chinese meal with Prawn crackers for bread and Saki for wine and ask God to bless the emblems and the meal accordingly and seek forgiveness for our lack of preparation on the basis that Jesus ended all animal sacrifices.
It is a good idea to include a request that God overlooks at technical mistakes we may make in the opening blessing. because we will most likely make several during the evening.
So even if you have a whole lamb, head shanks and interior parts, with every bone unbroken and even if you could burn all the flesh left over in the morning and if even you can ensure that no flesh is taken away outside the house in the garbage, then make an error and make the prayer - for that displays the power of Jesus' sacrifice rather than the glory of yours. We do not want to look righteous, because we are unrighteous. We want Jesus to look righteous because he is. We must point out that in general (on all occasions other than the Passover) the counsel of Paul would apply, namely...
KJV What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.
NWT What follows? Shall we commit a sin because we are not under law but under undeserved kindness? Never may that happen!
YLT What then? shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? let it not be!
ED What then? shall we sin, because not we are under law, but under favour? Not let it be.
KIT What therefore? Should we sin because not we are under law but under undeserved kindness? Not may it occur (Romans 6:15)
Having sandals on your feet or a staff in your hand is not literally necessary we think because these have greater meanings for today. By all means if you have the ability then obey as many of the conditions on the lamb as are reasonable for you. As a minimum, roast some lamb or some goat and make a prayer to Jesus.
The meal continues…
The Second Cup (FRC, during the meal): Loaf taken not eaten, then give thanks, then wine drunk clockwise
We do take this cup. All sons of the CRC are also sons of the FRC because Methuselah was the son of Enoch who was the son of Melchizedek, the mediator of the FRC.
The presiding priest (who must himself be a 1st New Covenant Saint if possible. If not then he must be a 2NC saint) says a blessing on the second loaf, asking God to bless it so that it represents the human body of Jared, the validation sacrifice of the FBC. Then he breaks it and hands a piece to everyone who is in the FBC, saying words to the effect of:
"Take but do not eat, this is Jesus's human body (Yeshua in Hebrew) given as a ransom for Adam's human body in validation of the FBC."
All prospective sons of the FBC who know they are sealed could in theory eat it. But let's not make snap decisions in the heat of the festival. It is better for no one to eat it. Take it and give it back to the priest. This is Jesus' human body, the validation sacrifice for the FBC.
The presiding priest first gives thanks to God for making the FRC with Melchizedek. And he gives thanks to Jesus, the ransomer, for validating and mediating the FBC to Adam, the ransomee. And he gives thanks to Adam for mediating the blessing of the FBC to all of its System mediators.
The presiding priest then blesses the second cup, asking God to bless it, so that it represents the blood of the FBC, the blood of Jesus, the validation sacrifice for the FBC. And he passes the cup to the first brother/sister saying words to the effect of:
"Take this and pass it from one to another among yourselves. Drink out of it all of you for this is Melchizedek's blood of the Faith Blessing Covenant, the inferior covenant to the FRC which has been poured out for the many sons of Adam who find the faith of Abraham, for the forgiveness of their sins as far as the righteous decree in their flesh, which gives citizenship of the Kingdom of God on earth."
The cup is then passed clockwise around everyone partaking of it.
Then the Hallel Psalms 110 to 114 are recited one verse per person sequentially round the table (the recital being optional but nice).
The Third Cup (1AC, during the meal): Loaf eaten, then give thanks, then wine drunk clockwise.
Whomsoever has faith in God (as Abraham had, LWs and non LWs alike) can take this third cup since it is the cup of the 1AC, the covenant of faith. All those who partake of the 1st cup must partake of the 3rd cup and vice-versa.
Then he says a blessing on the third loaf, asking God to bless it so that it represents the human body of Isaac, the validation sacrifice of the 1AC. He breaks it and hands a piece to everyone who is has faith enough to partake of it, saying words to the effect of:
"Take eat, this is Isaac's human body given as a ransom for Abraham in validation of the 1AC, so that all those with faith can have a second chance in the Kingdom of God."
All those who wish eat.
The presiding priest gives thanks to Isaac for ransoming Abraham and validating the 1AC and to Abraham for main mediating the 1AC.
The presiding priest then blesses the third cup, asking God to bless it, so that it represents the blood of the 1AC, the blood of Isaac, the non adamic human, the validation sacrifice of the 1AC. And he passes the cup to the first faithful brother/sister saying words to the effect of:
"Take this and pass it from one to another among yourselves. Drink out of it all of you for this is Isaac's human blood of the first Abrahamic covenant which has been poured out for the many for the forgiveness of sins."
The cup is then passed around clockwise to everyone with faith, everyone in the 1AC, and they all drink. The cup is not touched or passed to anyone who does not wish to partake of it.
The lamb meal is finished after the loaf of the 1AC has been eaten and after the cup of the 1AC has been drunk. But there is a fish course yet to come.
The Fourth Cup (1NC, after the lamb): Loaf eaten, then give thanks, then wine drunk anticlockwise.
Only Baptized members of the Lords' Witnesses who are also 1NC Kings can take part in eating the 4th loaf and drinking from the 4th cup. 2NC saints do not partake of this cup of the 1NC!
The presiding priest for this part (who must be a 1st New Covenant Saint and male. A 2NC saint cannot bless this cup) blesses the 4th loaf, asking God to bless it so that it represents the angelic body of Gabriel, the validation sacrifice for the JAC. He breaks it and hands a piece only to those who have been baptized in holy spirit into the first new covenant, saying words to the effect of:
"This is Gabriel's associated angelic body which has been given on your behalf as a ransom for Jacob (who was born without an angelic body, but was given Gabriel's associated angelic body by ransom, this being the validation of the JAC)."
The 1st New Covenant Saints all eat.
The presiding priest gives thanks to Gabriel for ransoming Jacob angelically and validating the JAC and to Jacob for mediating the JAC and to Jesus for mediating the 1NC which is a subcovenant of the JAC.
The presiding priest blesses the 4th cup, asking God to bless it, so that it represents the blood of the JAC, which is the blood of the 1NC, its subcovenant, the blood/life of the angelic body of Gabriel, the validation sacrifice of the JAC. He passes the cup to the 1st New Covenant Saints saying words to the effect of:
"Take this and pass it from one to another among yourselves. This cup is Gabriel's angelic blood (representing his angelic life) of the JAC, the Jacobian Angelic Covenant, which is the system covenant immediately superior to the 1NC. The JAC was validated by the death of Gabriel's angelic body but exists by virtue of Jesus' blood of the 3BC (representing Michael's angelic life). Both Michael's and Gabriel's blood have been poured out on your behalf."
The 1st New Covenant Saints then pass the cup from one to another amongst themselves anti-clockwise and drink from it. Nobody touches this cup or is passed this cup other than the 1st New Covenant Saints. They should form a visible but closed group by themselves for this.
The Christian Fish Meal
A fish of some type is now served. This represent the post sacrificial era Christian food.
The Fifth Cup (HLC, with the fish): Loaf eaten, then give thanks, then wine drunk anticlockwise.
Only Baptized members of the Lords' Witnesses who are also HLC Lords can take part in eating the 5th loaf and drinking from the 5th cup. 2NC saints do not partake of this cup of the HLC!
The presiding priest for this part (who must be a 1st New Covenant Saint and male. A 2NC saint cannot bless this cup) blesses the 5th loaf, asking God to bless it so that it represents the associated angelic body of Gabriel, the validation sacrifice for the JAC. He breaks it and hands a piece only to those who have been baptized in holy spirit into the heavenly lord covenant, saying words to the effect of:
"This is Gabriel's angelic body which has been given on your behalf as a ransom for Jacob (who was born without an angelic body, but was given Gabriel's angelic body by ransom, this being the validation of the JAC)."
The HLC Saints all eat.
The presiding priest gives thanks to Gabriel for ransoming Jacob angelically and validating the JAC and to Jacob for mediating the JAC and to whomever it was for mediating the HLC which is a subcovenant of the JAC.
The presiding priest blesses the 5th cup, asking God to bless it, so that it represents the blood of the JAC, which is the blood of the HLC, its subcovenant, the blood of the angel Gabriel, the validation sacrifice of the JAC. He passes the cup to the Heavenly Lord Covenant Saints saying words to the effect of:
"Take this and pass it from one to another among yourselves. This cup is Gabriel's angelic blood (representing his angelic life) of the JAC, the Jacobian Angelic Covenant, which is the system covenant immediately superior to the HLC. The JAC was validated by the death of Gabriel's angel but exists by virtue of Jesus' blood of the 3BC (representing Michael's everliving angelic body). Both Michael's and Gabriel's blood have been poured out on your behalf."
The HLC Saints then pass the cup from one to another amongst themselves anti-clockwise and drink from it. Nobody touches this cup or is passed this cup other than the HLC Saints. They should form a visible but closed group by themselves for this.
The fish course is then finished.
The Conclusion
Sing Praises. And recite the Hallel psalms 115 to 118 one verse/psalm per person around the table sequentially (this recital again is optional but nice). Psalm 22 is not a bad idea either. Psalm 78 is a great reminder not to be a spare tyre Christian.
Atonement Affliction Argument
After the Passover festivities have ended at 2-3am, the rest of the Hebrew day until sunset could be held to be an atonement situation given that Jesus was afflicted from then onwards and was the atonement sacrifice and made his human sacrifice on that day. But he did drink sour wine on the stake. So it is best if we do not invent anything here. Jesus did the suffering for us. We do not need to re-enact that suffering.
Notes
The presiding priest must be a male new covenant saint period. If there is only one left in the world, then the whole world has to come and see him to celebrate this covenant. In 2019 the presiding priests will be 1NC saints.
The scriptures say that Paul hands on to us that Jesus:
23 In the night in which he was going to be handed over took a loaf … (1 Corinthians 11).
He hands on a date as well as a celebration. The date was Nisan14, the Passover day. The new covenant was initially celebrated whilst eating the Passover meal and together with the First Abrahamic covenant, which must be celebrated with this meal since the wine and the bread are taken during the meal. So the 1AC is to be celebrated once a year along with the Passover meal. But there is no reason to celebrate the New Covenant on any other occasion. So it should be celebrated together with the 1AC once a year on Nisan 14 in the evening and the Passover meal should be eaten with it. This is what the Lord’s Witnesses will do on 2001 Nisan14, God willing (we did - ed).
All new covenant saints are therefore cordially invited to a celebration, that being precisely as Jesus prescribed, has some chance of pleasing the true God. It is not only King Josiah who knew how to celebrate a Passover properly you know:
21 The king now commanded all the people, saying: Hold a Passover to Jehovah your God according to what is written in this book of the covenant.
22 For no Passover like this had been held from the days of the judges that had judged Israel, nor all the days of the kings of Israel and the kings of Judah.
23 But in the 18th year of King Josiah this Passover was held to Jehovah in Jerusalem (2 Kings 23).
Abel offered a lamb on a certain day and God accepted it. From this it is apparent that Cain's offering of some fruits of the ground would not be accepted because it is God who prescribes what he wants offered to him and when he wants it offered. So we deduce that he must have prescribed a lamb for each of the brothers. It is no good bringing him a Van Gough if he has asked for a kid of the goats. And it does no good bringing him a sacrifice on Tuesday when he has stipulated that it should be offered up on a Monday. The whole basis of sacrifice is an acceptance of God's provisions for his offer of mercy, his offer of forgiveness of our sins. Things are no different with the Last supper. We must celebrate it in the way that God has stipulated through Jesus and we must celebrate it on the day which he has prescribed. Since we have no evidence for any day of celebration other than the Passover day, Nisan14, we must celebrate it then and only then.
This one day a year celebration timetable can also be deduced from the symbolic meaning of the Passover Celebration. We must not celebrate this festival every day of the year as they do in St. Paul's Cathedral in London - not that they have any idea what they are doing in their celebration and neither are any of them 1NC saints. A plastic charade of false piety in the case of the church and a misguided flock in the case of the congregation.
3 Speak to the entire assembly of Israel, saying, On the 10th day of this month they are to take for themselves each one a sheep for the ancestral house, a sheep to a house.
4 But if the household proves to be too small for the sheep, then he and his neighbour close by must take it into his house according to the number of souls; you should compute each one proportionate to his eating as regards the sheep.
5 The sheep should prove to be sound, a male, a year old, for you. You may pick from the young rams or from the goats.
6 And it must continue under safeguard by you until the 14th day of this month, and the whole congregation of the assembly of Israel must slaughter it between the 2 evenings.
7 And they must take some of the blood and splash it upon the 2 doorposts and the upper part of the doorway belonging to the houses in which they will eat it.
8 'And they must eat the flesh on this night. They should eat it roasted with fire and with unfermented cakes along with bitter greens.
9 Do not eat any of it raw or boiled, cooked in water, but roast with fire, its head together with its shanks and its interior parts.
10 And you must not leave any of it over till morning, but what is left over of it till morning you should burn with fire (Exodus 12).
Here is the symbolism in tabular form:
Take sheep into house on Nisan10 | Entered into the temple, his Father's house, and threw out those selling and buying and overturned the tables of the money changers on 33Nisan 10 |
Sound Male Lamb (or goat) | Sinless Male Lamb of God |
Continue under safeguard by you until Nisan14 | Jesus was arrested on Nisan14 |
Whole congregation of Israel must slaughter it between the two evenings, these being the Thursday and the Friday evening in the case of Jesus on 33Nisan14 | Passover itself was eaten at midnight on Thursday night and Jesus was killed on Friday afternoon before the next sundown. So both the physical and the spiritual lamb were killed between the two evenings. At that all the people said in answer: His blood come upon us and upon our children (Matthew 27:25). This also occurred between the two sundowns defining Nisan14. |
Eat the flesh on this night. | The disciples ate both the flesh of the physical Passover lamb (from the bowl) representing the teachings of Jesus, and they ate the body of Jesus, via the bread, on Thursday night. |
Now once the 1NC was made, that night, Jesus flesh became that of his wife. So the roast lamb then became the teachings of the 1NC saints themselves. The left over lamb in the morning was burnt. This is those left over in the morning of 2008Nisan14 going to Gehenna.
Bitter greens are new guys coming in as a result of disasters.
So the Passover in 1513 was the beginning of the Law and the Passover in 33 was the end of the Law. So the Passover was the beginning and end of the Law. But Jesus was the Passover angel in 1513 and he was the Passover lamb in 33. So we read in Revelation:
17 I am the first and the last (Revelation 1).
For the Word Symbolic Meaning of the accounts of the Lord's evening meal - see [39].
The is not the Superbowl it is the Supperbowl! But it is no less significant. So what was in this bowl?
Water, Wine, Lamb, Unfermented Cakes, Bitter Greens ??
Was it a finger bowl like in a Chinese Restaurant? Was it a bread basket like in a French Restaurant?
21 While they were eating, he said: Truly I say to you, One of you will betray me.
22 Being very much grieved at this, they commenced each and every one to say to him: Lord, it is not I, is it?
23 In reply he said: He that dips his hand with me in the bowl is the one that will betray me (Mathew 26).
18 And as they were reclining at the table and eating, Jesus said: Truly I say to you, One of you, who is eating with me, will betray me.
19 They started to be grieved and to say to him one by one: It is not I, is it?
20 He said to them: It is one of the 12, who is dipping with me into the common bowl (Mark 14).
So the bowl had to do with eating, so it contained either lamb, unfermented cakes or bitter greens. In both Matthew and Mark, Jesus broke the bread and blessed it after the above conversation. The Greek word translated bowl is: trubliw which means either bowl or dish. The scripture does not say that Jesus took a loaf from the bowl, so it looks like the bowl contained the main food which was lamb. One can prove this by considering the symbolic meaning of Judas dipping his hand in the bowl with Jesus. What were Judas and Jesus fellow workers in? What did their two hands together accomplish? Well it was the betrayal of Judas and the death of Jesus that ended the law, i.e. ended the first Passover. So the bowl contained the first lamb, the Passover lamb, which the pair of them were going to bring to an end.
Here is God's requirement for the constant feature sacrifice:
3 And you must say to them: This is the offering made by fire that you will present to Jehovah: two sound year-old male lambs a day as a burnt offering constantly.
4
The one male lamb you will render up in the morning, and the other male lamb you will render up between the two evenings (Numbers 28).
So all of you Christian believers in the one sacrifice of Jesus Christ, let us ask you the obvious question. Why were there two lambs offered up every single day of the Law by the Aaronic priesthood?
Why was one offered up in the morning in broad daylight and the other offered up between the two evenings ?
Why was the second sacrifice stipulated in such an ambiguous way?
Between the two evenings could in fact be the morning! We have already seen from the requirement that both the actual Passover lamb and Jesus the spiritual Passover lamb were to be offered up on the same day, and these two evenings are simply evenings, as in the case of Genesis 1. The theory that one evening is the sun starting to decline and the other is sundown and the theory that one evening is when the sun goes down and the other is when it becomes dark are false because they both result in Jesus not dying between the two evenings. Obviously one lamb was offered up in the morning, i.e. at the start of the working day and the other in the evening, i.e. at the end of the working day, after evening had fallen. In other words, since the Hebrew day started in the evening, the evening lamb was offered up first after sundown, and the morning lamb was offered up second after sunrise.
7 And Aaron must make perfumed incense smoke upon it.
Morning by morning, when he dresses the lamps, he will make it smoke.
8 And when Aaron lights up the lamps between the two evenings, he will make it smoke. It is an incense constantly before Jehovah during your generations (Exodus 30).
There is only one evening and only one morning in every day, as we can see from Genesis 1 and from the incense offering rules above. For incense was to be offered every morning and this time is said to be between the two evenings.
Well, the answer to our first question is: It was because there were to be two greater constant feature sacrifices. One of Jesus, between the two evenings, but in daylight and in public. And another of John the baptist, he had his head chopped off in private and at night.
So one sacrifice was visible and one was hidden. The symbolism is as follows:
Morning lamb | Jesus |
Evening lamb | John |
Day of the morning and the first evening | 3.5 year ministry of Jesus |
Evening comes before morning in Hebrew day | John died before Jesus. |
Two evenings | Two evening meals, two new covenants |
First evening | New covenant |
Second evening | Second New covenant made on a second Day |
One result of this is that John must have died on or before the mid-point of Jesus' ministry, in order that his death occurs 'at night' during the 'day' of the ministry.
23 Therefore it was necessary that the typical representations of the things in the heavens should be cleansed by these means, but the heavenly things themselves with sacrifices that are better than such sacrifices (Hebrews 9).
The heavenly things (angels) are cleansed with sacrifices, plural.
16 The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not a sharing in the blood of the Christ? The loaf which we break, is it not a sharing in the body of the Christ?
17 Because there is one loaf, we, although many, are one body, for we are all partaking of that one loaf (1 Corinthians 10).
These words of Paul make it plain that the first century Christians knew only of one cup and one loaf. These were the 4th cup and the 4th loaf, of the new covenant. So Jesus evidently did not make clear to the apostles the symbolic meaning of the other 3 cups of the Jews at the last supper. Instead he told them that he would not drink certain cups again for a while. In other words he told them that they would not know the meaning of certain other cups for a while. However, now, we can understand the 4 puzzling statements that Jesus made during the last supper about not eating and drinking henceforth etc. Here they are:
27 Also, he took a cup [of the 1AC, the first Abrahamic Covenant, the covenant for all with faith who do not necessarily find the true religion] and, having given thanks, he gave it to them, saying: Drink out of it, all of you;
28 for this is my 'blood of the covenant,' which is to be poured out in behalf of many [not just 144,000] for forgiveness of sins.
29 But I tell you, I will by no means drink henceforth any of this product of the vine [the cup of the 1AC, the vine is the entire salvation plan, of which Jesus is the root.] until that day when I [through the remnant, my wife, my flesh, my mouth] drink it new/fresh/for the first time with you
[plural] in the kingdom of my Father
(Matthew 26).
22 And eating of them, he took a loaf, said a blessing, broke it and gave it to them, and said: Take it [NO eat]. This is my body [FRC].
23 And taking a cup, he offered thanks and gave it to them, and they all drank out of it [including Judas, who did not drink the cup of the 1NC]
24 And he said to them: This is my 'blood of the covenant,' which is to be poured out in behalf of many [Not for the forgiveness of sins - this is a sealing covenant for the many. The bread is not eaten] [FRC]
25 Truly I say to you, I shall by no means drink anymore of the product of the vine [The product of the wine is the end product of the vine, the wine of a sealing covenant, the FRC, the Love Ransom Covenant of Jesus for Adam's human body, or the ARC, the Angelic Ransom Covenant of Michael for Adam's associated angel. For the vine, which is the entire salvation plan with Jesus as root] until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God [not said to be with you]
26 Finally, after singing praises, they went out to the Mount of Olives (Mark 14)
15 And he said to them: I have greatly desired to eat this Passover [meal of lamb and unleavened bread and bitter greens and the 4 cups and loaves of the 4 covenants] with you before I suffer;
16 for I tell you, I will not eat it again until it becomes completed [plhrwqh] [celebrated fully/completely or actually fulfilled in the sense that Jesus is married or with the fish course of post sacrificial Christian food added] in the kingdom of God [see 1 Corinthians 11:26].
17 And, accepting a cup [the ARC], he gave thanks and said: Take this and pass it from one to the other among yourselves;
18 for I tell you, From now on I will not drink again from the product of the vine [The cup of the ARC,
'the' product of the vine, which is the entire salvation plan with Jesus as root.] until the kingdom of God arrives.
19 Also, he took a loaf, gave thanks, broke it, and gave it to them, saying: This is my body [of the ARC] which is to be given in your behalf [not many but you]. Keep doing this in remembrance of me [keep giving thanks for, breaking but NOT eating the loaf of the ARC in remembrance of me,
for the ARC was truly the loaf of Michael's body, and breaking it is his death as an angel].
20 Also, the cup in the same way after they had the evening meal, he saying: This cup is the new covenant [the cup of the 1NC] by virtue of my blood [not my blood, but by virtue of my blood],
which is to be poured out in your behalf (Luke 22).
What then is 'the product of the vine'? Well, it is the end product of the vine. A sealing covenant. In fact it is a sealing covenant mediated by Jesus, who is the 'true vine'. Every salvation covenant depends upon his sacrifice and leads into the ARC, which has him as its root - symbolically:
1 I am the true vine, and my Father is the cultivator.
2 Every branch in me not bearing fruit he takes away, and every one bearing fruit he cleans, that it may bear more fruit.
3 You are already clean because of the word that I have spoken to you.
4 Remain in union with me, and I in union with you. Just as the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it remains in the vine, in the same way neither can you, unless you remain in union with me.
5 I am the vine, you are the branches. He that remains in union with me, and I in union with him, this one bears much fruit; because apart from me you can do nothing at all (John 15).
So the product of the vine is the wine of the ARC or the FRC. Gabriel is the vine of the CRC and Melchizedek is the vine of the FRC. All 3 Cherubs, all 3 master covenanters are vines. But the original root vine is Jesus with the ARC and the FRC. The CRC and the FRC are grafted into the original true vine rather than planted in the ground themselves (that is what happens in vineyards). So there is only one vine with roots in the the vineyard of all salvation. All 24 salvation covenants between God and man are shown on our covenant chart.
29 But I tell you, I will by no means drink henceforth any of this product of the vine [1AC] until that day when I drink it new with you
[plural]
in the kingdom of my Father (Matthew 26)
25 Truly I say to you, I shall by no means drink anymore of the product of the vine [FRC] until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God (Mark 14)
18 for I tell you, From now on I will not drink again from the
product of the vine [ARC] until the kingdom of God arrives (Luke 22).
These 3 prohibitions cannot possibly have applied to the cup of the 1NC or NO Christian church would ever had had a 1NC saint drinking the Lord's evening meal, after 33Nisan14 and so the entirely of Christianity would have been false. The scriptures use 'this product of the vine' for a testing covenant and 'the product of the vine' for a sealing covenant (mediated by Jesus?).
So Jesus only drinks the cup of the 1AC again with 'you' in the Kingdom of his father. 'You' are the apostles. They can drink the 1AC at a Passover in the Kingdom but not the 1NC since they are married. Perhaps this has never been drunk because nobody realised that Isaac was the validation sacrifice until 2019Nisan20?
But Jesus does not drink the cup of the ARC until the Kingdom of God arrives and he drinks it new. And he is not said to drink it 'with you'. Perhaps Laodicea fulfilled this? But it would have been hard for them to know who was and who was not a saint?
He does not eat the meal again until it is celebrated fully/completely in the Kingdom of God. So no true church has had any lamb meal at the Passover since 33Nisan14 !?!?!? The meal was completed with a fish course and celebrated as above (with the FRC not with the LRC) by the Lords Witnesses on 2019Iyyar14. Whereas Jesus, through the 1NC reserves and perhaps also the descended 1NCs will drink the ARC in Laodicea on 2019Ab14/Elul14.
31 Then Jesus said to them: All of you will be stumbled in connection with me on this night, for it is written: I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered about (Matthew 26).
INDEED! We have all got the cups and covenants of this festival wrong ever since 33Nisan14! But in 2019, Laodicea got it right and in 2020 reverted Laodicea got it right. And in 2023 (Hebrew) the LWs get it right!
The cup of the new covenant itself, although it has been 'drunk' since 33Nisan14, has not been drunk by Jesus continuously since then because the new covenant saints only last for 120 years in each presence, and when Jesus is absent he can not drink anything. This is why in the case of the cup of the 1NC we read:
25 He did likewise respecting the cup also, after he had the evening meal, saying: This cup is the new covenant by virtue of my blood. Keep doing this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me (1 Corinthians 11).
'As oft as ye drink it' meaning: When you do actually drink it. Meaning you will not always be drinking it. Meaning I will be absent for several Passovers.
45 From the 6th hour on a darkness fell over all the land, until the 9th hour.
46 About the 9th hour Jesus called out with a loud voice, saying: Eli,
Eli, lama sabachthani? that is, My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?
47 At hearing this, some of those standing there began to say: This man is calling Elijah.
48 And immediately one of them ran and took a sponge and soaked it with sour wine and put it on a reed and went giving him a drink.
49 But the rest of them said: Let him be! Let us see whether Elijah comes to save him.
[[Another man took a spear and pierced his side, and blood and water came out.]]
50 Again Jesus cried out with a loud voice, and yielded up [his] spirit (Matthew 27).
24 And they impaled him and distributed his outer garments by casting the lot over them as to who takes what.
25 It was, in fact, the 3rd hour, and they impaled him.
26 And the inscription of the charge against him was written above, The King of the Jews.
27 Moreover, they impaled 2 robbers with him, one on his right and one on his left (Mark 15).
33 When it became the 6th hour a darkness fell over the whole land until the 9th hour.
34 And at the 9th hour Jesus called out with a loud voice: Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? which means, when translated: My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?
35 And some of those standing near, on hearing it, began to say: See! He is calling Elijah.
36 But a certain one ran, soaked a sponge with sour wine, put it on a reed, and began giving him a drink, saying: Let [him] be! Let us see whether Elijah comes to take him down.
37 But Jesus let out a loud cry and expired (Mark 15).
44 Well, by now it was about the 6th hour, and yet a darkness fell over all the earth until the 9th hour,
45 because the sunlight failed; then the curtain of the sanctuary was rent down the middle.
46 And Jesus called with a loud voice and said: Father, into your hands I entrust my spirit. When he had said this, he expired (Luke 23)
13 Therefore Pilate, after hearing these words, brought Jesus outside, and he sat down on a judgment seat in a place called The Stone Pavement, but, in Hebrew, Gabbatha.
14 Now it was preparation of the Passover; it was about the 6th hour. And he said to the Jews: See! Your king!
15
However, they shouted: Take [him] away! Take [him] away! Impale him! Pilate said to them: Shall I impale your king? The chief priests answered: We have no king but Caesar.
16 At that time, therefore, he handed him over to them to be impaled.
Then they took charge of Jesus.
17 And, bearing the torture stake for himself, he went out to the so-called Skull Place, which is called Golgotha in Hebrew (John 19)
The bystanders aid: He is calling Elijah. Let's see if Elijah comes to save him. In the literal fulfilment Jesus did not call Elijah and Elijah did not come to save him. In the greater impalement he does and he does because...
12 For the word of God is alive and exerts power and is sharper than any two-edged sword and pierces even to the dividing of soul and spirit, and of joints and [their] marrow, and [is] able to discern thoughts and intentions of [the] heart. (Hebrews 4 NWT)
10 For just as the pouring rain descends, and the snow,
from the heavens and does not return to that place, unless it actually saturates the earth and makes it produce and sprout, and seed is actually given to the sower and bread to the eater,
11 so my word that goes forth from my mouth will prove to be. It will not return to me without results, but it will certainly do that in which I have delighted, and it will have certain success in that for which I have sent it. (Isaiah 55 NWT)
Jesus' day involved a handing over to Pilate by Caiaphas, then a defence in front of Pilate, then a defence in front of Herod, then a further defence in front of Pilate, then an agreement by Pilate for an impalement. The final agreement by Pilate for an impalement was at the 6th hour, but the handing over by Caiaphas to Pilate for impalement was at the 3rd hour of Mark (we presume). Jesus drank the sour wine at the 9th hour. So what is the greater day that these hours divide up? Is it a day of impalement?

3rd hour | 2019Heshvan14: The late 1st Watchtower Passover execution |
6th hour | 2019Chislev14: The late 2nd Watchtower Passover execution |
9th hour (an hours for a Passover festival) | 2019Tebebth14: The late 3rd Watchtower Passover execution |
There were 9 Watchtower Passovers (an hour, the midnight hour, for a Passover) celebrated on 5 days. The early regular and late 1st 2nd and 3rd Watchtower Passovers on 2019Elul14/Tishri14/Heshvan14/Chislev14/Tebbeth14.
30 Then Pharaoh got up at night, he and all his servants and all [other] Egyptians; and there began arising a great outcry among the Egyptians, because there was not a house where there was not one dead. (Exodus 12 NWT)
So in every house one person died. So in every congregation of the JWs, one person dies physically. The firstborn by water baptism in that house. The oldest male JW by 3EC water baptism in each congregation worldwide.
Lets us consider the cup of the 1NC. The blood flows around the body and Jesus is the head of the body so one could deduce from that that he should drink that cup. We should here remind ourselves what happens at a traditional Hebrew wedding...
1 A covenant is made between the father of the bride and the groom
2. A price is agreed and paid by the groom or the groom’s father if the groom is under age
3. Wine is drunk by both parties to seal the union
4. Gifts are given to the bride in advance of the arrival of the groom
5 The groom leaves his father’s house with his best man to fetch his bride and bring her home at an unannounced time shouting to warn of their approach
6. The bride gets her bridesmaids ready and the groom waits outside the bride's house
7. The bride and groom walk together back to the Bridal Chamber in the groom's house where they consummate the marriage whilst the best man and the chief bridesmaid wait outside that chamber (this is actually God's marriage ceremony!)
8. When the couple come out after the consummation then they are married and the 7 day feast begins for the guests, whilst the couple go back into the chamber.
9. After 7 whole days of installation of her genetic priesthood the bride comes out of the chamber and the veil is taken off so that all can see who she is.
So the groom, the mediator of the covenant would drink the cup too. So Jesus did drink the 1NC cup and Gordon does drink the 2NC cup. However one should not drink a covenant which one is not a party to. so Jesus would not have drunk the 1AC cup since he was never in that covenant although he was the validation sacrifice for the 1AC. Hence we read in Matthew26:29 referring to the 1AC...
29 But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new/fresh/for the first time with you in my Father's kingdom. (Matthew 26 KJV)
29 But I tell you, I will by no means drink henceforth any of this product of the vine until that day when I drink it new/fresh/for the first time with you in the kingdom of my Father. (Matthew 26 NWT)
29 But I say to you, I will not at all drink of this fruit of the vine after this until that day when I drink it new/fresh/for the first time with you in the kingdom of My Father. (Matthew 26 GLT)
29 and I say to you, that I may not drink henceforth on this produce of the vine, till that day when I may drink it with you new/fresh/for the first time in the reign of my Father.' (Matthew 26 YLT)
29 I am saying but to you, not not I should drink from right now out of this the product of the vine until the day that whenever it I may be drinking with you new/fresh/for the first time in the kingdom of the Father of me. (Matthew 26 KIT)

He did not drink the cup henceforth, from the time of his blessing the cup until he drinks it new/fresh/for the first time in the Kingdom. So he did not drink the cup of the 1AC on that night. This was because he was the mediator and validation sacrifice of the OMC, the sealing covenant for half of those in the 1AC. He cannot be under a test to receive a body that he is already living inside! Jesus himself does not drink the 1AC. But some part of him does in the Kingdom. That part would be the 1NCs, his wife, his flesh.
But he did drink the ARC, being the master the mediator of that covenant and being just about to give that ransom.
He did drink the FRC because he was the mediator and validation sacrifice for the OMC.
He did drink the 1NC because he was the groom for that covenant.
He did not drink the 1AC because he was not under that test, he was ransoming the blessing mediator of the FBC,
18 Correspondingly, John came neither eating nor drinking, yet people say, 'He has a demon';
19 the Son of man did come eating and drinking, still people say, 'Look! A man gluttonous and given to drinking wine, a friend of tax collectors and sinners.' All the same, wisdom is proved righteous by its works. (Matthew 11 NWT)
38 But Jesus said to them: You do not know what you are asking for. Are you able to drink the cup which I am drinking, or to be baptized with the baptism with which I am being baptized?
39 They said to him: We are able. At that Jesus said to them: The cup I am drinking you will drink, and with the baptism with which I am being baptized you will be baptized. (Mark 10 NWT)
So he certainly drank wine and drank a cup at the Passover. He drank the 1NC and the ARC and the FRC, but not the 1AC .
The Passover instructions in Exodus 12 were for the actual Passover in Egypt. They were not for the Passover festival of the Law of Moses which commemorated that day. So when Jesus ended the Law, he also ended the Passover festival of the Law. But Jesus himself celebrated the Passover on the Hebrew day of his death and whilst celebrating it, he modified it to become the Lord's Evening Meal. So the Jews have no obligation to do anything different from the Gentiles on Nisan14. The sons of Abraham celebrated the Passover before Moses came along. It was the custom of Canaanite sheep and goat herders to sacrifice a lamb or a goat before leaving the winter pastures and going to the spring pastures - see www.angelfire.com.
Sealing covenant validation sacrifices are generally whole burnt offerings. They get permanently accepted by God and the sacrificers lose them permanently. But this was not the case with the angel Michael for the scripture says.
17 This is why the Father loves me, because I surrender my soul, in order that I may receive it again.
18 No man has taken it away from me, but I surrender it of my own initiative. I have authority to surrender it, and I have authority to receive it again. The commandment on this I received from my Father. (John 10 NWT)
In this case Michael needed his angelic body back in order to marry God as head of the 2nd Holy Spirit on 33Nisan16 and to be in the bridal chamber in it for 7 days.
Testing covenant validation sacrifices are only temporary. So they sacrificer can have his body back at the end of the testing.
Jesus' human body and John the baptist's human body were whole burnt offerings given to God at expiration.
Likewise Methuselah can not be human in his ransoming body for the CRC. But he can be human in another body if someone else would ransom him!.
Since Moses, the Jews have drunk 4 cups at the Passover - see wikipedia "Passover Seder". These cups are called, in order of drinking...
1: Kiddush - I will bring out (hotzeiti) - Delivery from Egypt [Jewish Passover] - FRC [Christianized Last Supper - Bring out of of this world into the Kingdom]
2: Magid - I will deliver (hitzalti) - Delivery from Babylon [Jewish Passover] - 1AC [Christianized Last Supper - Deliver from false religion through the conscience]
3: Birkit Hamazon - I will redeem (ga'alti) - Delivery from death [Jewish Passover] ARC [Christianized Last Supper - Deliver from death into everlasting life]
4: Hallel - I will take (lakahti) - Delivery from the Law [Jewish Passover] - 1NC [Christianized Last Supper - Deliver from the law]
The LRC or FRC is the covenant by which people are brought out of this system and into the kingdom of God. The ARC is the covenant by which they are delivered from death eternally. The 1AC is the covenant by which they are brought out of Babylon because the sons of the 1AC are God's people. The 1NC is the covenant by which people are taken as a wife for Jesus. The 4 cups come from the 4 expressions of deliverance in Exodus 6:6-7 which says...
6 Therefore say to the sons of Israel, 'I am Jehovah, and I shall certainly bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians [Delivery from Egypt] and deliver you from their slavery
[Delivery from Babylon] and I shall indeed reclaim/redeem you
[Delivery from death]
with an outstretched arm and with great judgments.
7 And I shall certainly take you to me as a people, and I shall indeed prove to be God to you; and you will certainly know that I am Jehovah your God who is bringing you out from under the burdens of Egypt [Delivery from the Law].
8 And I shall certainly bring you into the land that I raised my hand in oath to give to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob; and I shall indeed give it to you as something to possess [Physical Promised Land of Israel]. I am Jehovah.'
But actually there is a 5th expression of deliverance in verse 8 which caused Jewish Rabbis to propose a 5th cup, the cup of Elijah. They pour it out hoping for his return which precedes that of the Messiah and their final deliverance.
5: Elijah - I will bring into (hebeiti) [the Physical Promised Land of Israel] - 4EC [the Kingdom of God on earth - Zoar]
Well at the Watchtower Passovers, celebrated at true midnight on 2019Elul14 and 2019Tishri14 and 2019Heshvan14 and 2019Chislev14 and 2019Tebbeth14, we actually have this very cup that is not drunk but utilized. It is the cup of the 3EC, the water baptism covenant of Charles Russell. The blood of this cup, which is the water in the foot washing bowl, is spattered on the left and right doorposts and the lintel above the doorway in the houses of celebration. It is the virgin blood of the 3 marriages, 3EC blood. 1NC reserves do not get a 2nd 4EC water baptism.
There are 3 loaves eaten, but one of them is split into two parts. This one is the body of Jesus. His everlasting angelic soul is the validation sacrifice for the ARC and his human soul was the validation sacrifice for the 1AC. So one loaf being split into two is the perfect symbolism for these two covenants being validated by the death of one person with two souls. The larger of the two pieces, which represents his angelic soul, is hidden by the Passover priest and then the children search for it. Whereas Jesus said...
17 Truly I say to you, Whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a young child will by no means get into it (Luke18).
The Jews were already drinking 4 cups and eating 4 loaves, (one of of the 3 Passover loaves is split in two). So they were celebrating the 1AC and the FRC unwittingly through the 1st and 3rd cups and loaves. But the 2nd cup and 4th cups and loaves were prophetic for the Jews, they did not represent a covenant during the period before Jesus' death. The law of Moses for example did not require the drinking of a cup of wine of the eating of a loaf, it was a covenant of works.
Jesus converted the 2nd and the 4th cup from merely having a prophetic significance to having a real covenant symbolism. The second cup became the ARC and the 4th became the 1NC. Covenants must be celebrated upon the day that they are made with the relevant mediator. So the ARC should always be celebrated on Nisan14.
We will arrange a low or zero alcoholic wine and rye bread option. The 'healthy sacraments'. Grape juice is not fermented so non alcoholic wine or very low alcohol wine would be better presumably. Everyone must partake in groups of at least two, so if only one person needs to choose the healthy option then another person must join him and basically partake twice once of the normal sacraments and once of the healthy sacraments.
