Archaeology of Passover - Lesson 4 - The Passover Seder and the Last Supper

This is part 2 of session 4.  Here we will ask why unleavened bread?  Christians say that leaven represents sin.  Well, yes and no.  We are not ancient Hebrews.  We never lived in ancient Egypt 3500 year ago.  If we did we'd see something totally different.  Why?  Because the Bible was written to those Hebrews who were slaves in Egypt and prior to their slavery had adopted the ways and the gods of Egypt.  We need to hear what they heard and see what they saw and try and understand a they did so we can rightly understand what God is teaching us and telling.  This has a direct impact on the bread Jesus took and said that it was HIS body.  This is too amazing.

And we will get into the issue of what day did Jesus have His Last Supper, the Passover Meal of the Messiah?  If you read Matt 26:17 and say that it is correct then Jesus died on a Saturday if you think Jesus died in 33 A.D. - it results in us contradicting the Bible!  And what about the Last Supper - did Jesus do a Seder?  He never did!!  He couldn't have.  Why?  He is God and He gave us the Torah and He never changes and will never go against His own commands.  Just because some in Jesus' day did the Passover meal on days they decided were right, we don't listen to their ideas that are not connected to God's word.  So hang to your seats.  This session will blow you away.
