Passover, the Way to Escape All Disasters
In this time, there are so many disasters that occur daily all around the world. They may seem like common events, but actually all these things are happening due to the prophetical word given by the Almighty Creator. God has rescued His people according to the promise of the Passover for over 4,000 years. The history of the Passover is not just recorded simply as an ancient event, it is a prophecy to teach us what is happening right now and how we can escape all destruction.
Ro 15:4 For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through the endurance taught in the Scriptures and the encouragement they provide we might have hope.
The most important thing we can do is to listen and follow the words of prophecy.
Ex 12:12-14 "On that same night I will pass through Egypt and strike down every firstborn—both men and animals—and I will bring judgment on all the gods of Egypt. I am the LORD. The blood will be a sign for you on the houses where you are; and when I see the blood, I will pass over you. No destructive plague will touch you when I strike Egypt."
In the time of the Exodus, in order to set His people free from their slavery, God allowed the Passover. The promise of the Passover is ''No destructive plague will touch you when I strike Egypt." Throughout the Old Testament, when God’s people kept this teaching they were protected from attack and invasion of enemies. In our time, this Passover still has the same promise of God. That's why when Jesus came to this earth He kept the Passover also, allowing us the promise of salvation.
Luke 22:14 Jesus said to them "I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer."
When God came to the earth 2,000 years ago His purpose was to protect and save us, laying down His life as a ransom. He had one earnest wish for us, and that was to receive the Passover of the new covenant to have salvation.
Matt 26:26-28 While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when He had given thanks, he broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying, "Take and eat; this is my body." Then he took a cup, and when He had given thanks, He gave it to them, saying, "Drink from it all of you. This is my blood of the (new) covenant..."
God's will in us keeping the Passover has never changed.
Ex 12:14 "This is a day you are to commemorate; for the generations to come you shall celebrate it as a festival to the LORD—a lasting ordinance."
Why did God want us to continuously keep the Passover?
Isa 24:1-6 See the LORD is going to lay waste the earth and devastate it; he will ruin its face and scatter its inhabitants... The earth is defiled by its people; they have disobeyed the laws, violated the statutes and broken the everlasting covenant...
According to God's eternal promise through the Passover, whoever keeps this covenant, will be protected and saved.
Because of this major disaster still to come, God returned to the earth to set us free from the sin and rebellion of the evil one, and has guided us to the way of salvation from this final plague. We must seek God's ways and follow the path laid out for us to ensure the safety of our souls and the souls of our loved ones. Then where is salvation; how can we be protected?
Isa 25:6-9 On this mountain the LORD Almighty will prepare a feast of rich food for all peoples, a banquet of aged wine... He will swallow up death forever.
Isa 33:20-24 Look on Zion, the city of our festivals; your eyes will see Jerusalem... For the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our king; it is he who will save us... No one living in Zion will say 'I am ill' and the sins of those who dwell there will be forgiven.
Jer 50:5 They will ask the way to Zion and turn their faces toward it. They will come and bind themselves to the LORD in an everlasting covenant that will not be forgotten.
The Bible states in countless verses that salvation comes from within Mount Zion, which is the place where God's feasts are kept. This has a prophetical meaning, which is fulfilled in the last days.
Mic 4:1 In the last days... many nations will come and say, "Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the temple of the God of Jacob. He will teach us his ways, so that we may walk in his paths."
According to all these prophecies, God has appeard on Mount Zion to bring salvation through the Passover. Have you received God's protection from disasters?
