REBECCA: HEY, GUYS.
TODAY WE'RE GONNA BE TALKING ABOUT PASSOVER
IN THIS EPISODE.
NOW PASSOVER IS CALLED THE FEAST OF FREEDOM.
BECAUSE IT CELEBRATES THE EXODUS OF THE ISRAELITES
FROM BONDAGE IN EGYPT,
AND MEMORIALIZES THE NIGHT
WHEN THE FAITHFUL WERE PROTECTED
BY THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB.
WE HAD MY FAMILY COME OVER
AND SIT DOWN AND DO A SIMPLIFIED VERSION
OF A SEDER.
NOW A PASSOVER SEDER
REFERS TO A CEREMONIAL MEAL
THAT INCLUDES SYMBOLIC FOODS AND THE RECITATION
OF THE STORY OF PASSOVER KNOWN AS HAGGADAH IN HEBREW,
WHICH MEANS THE TELLING.
IT ULTIMATELY SYMBOLIZES THE FREEDOM OF SALVATION
THROUGH THE PASSING OF THE RED SEA,
AND WE HAVE JESUS PAYING THE PRICE
AS THE PASSOVER LAMB.
STICK AROUND AS WE UNPACK HOW JESUS IS
THE FULFILLMENT OF PASSOVER.
REBECCA: HEY, GUYS.
WELCOME TO THE REBECCA WEISS PODCAST.
WE HAVE A DIFFERENT SET UP TODAY
BECAUSE WE ARE DOING PASSOVER.
ALL: YAY.
REBECCA: WITH MY FAMILY.
I GOT MY MOTHER-IN-LOVE KATHARINE.
KATHARINE: I LOVE YOU.
REBECCA: I'VE GOT MY HUSBAND JONATHAN.
AND WE HAVE OUR CHIEF RESIDENT --
JONATHAN: CHIEF RABBI.
REBECCA: RABBI.
MYLES WEISS IS HERE.
KATHARINE: AKA POP.
MYLES: GLAD TO BE HERE.
REBECCA: AND HE'S GONNA BE WALKING US THROUGH
AS THE HEAD OF WISDOM
THAT KNOWS MUCH MORE ABOUT PASSOVER.
AND I KNOW THAT YOU GUYS ARE HUNGRY
FOR THIS KIND OF CONTENT.
SO WE WANT TO BRING PASSOVER.
AND I THINK KIND OF WE CAN TALK ABOUT IT
FOR A REALLY LONG TIME.
BUT HE'S GONNA GIVE YOU
I GUESS THE CONDENSED VERSION.
JONATHAN: YES, IT'S AN ABRIDGED PESACH OR PASSOVER.
BUT WE LOVE PASSOVER.
WE HAVEN'T DONE IT FULLY IN OUR HOME YET
BECAUSE OUR BOYS ARE SO YOUNG.
AND IT IS A SIT DOWN.
HOW LONG WOULD IT TAKE?
FOUR HOURS?
MYLES: FOUR TO SIX HOURS
BACK IN NEW YORK CITY.
BUT I'VE GOT IT DOWN TONIGHT
FOR GOD'S GREATEST HITS.
JONATHAN: THAT'S RIGHT.
[ LAUGHTER ]
MYLES: AND KIND OF GIVE THE ESSENCE
OF THE MEANING OF IT.
JONATHAN: I LOVE THIS HOLIDAY
BECAUSE THERE'S JUST SO MUCH SYMBOLISM IN IT.
AND IT'S ALL ABOUT FREEDOM.
YOU KNOW, THE ISRAELITE'S FREEDOM
FROM EGYPTIAN SLAVERY.
AND SO WE'RE CELEBRATING FREEDOM
AND THE JOY OF LIVING IN GOD'S FREEDOM.
REBECCA: AND NOT ONLY THE FREEDOM,
BUT THE CONNECTION OF HOW CHRIST FULFILLS
AS HE IS THE PASSOVER LAMB.
SO HE'S GONNA GET INTO ALL OF THE CONNECTIONS
AND THERE'S SO MUCH DEPTH AND MEANING
THAT NOT JUST JEWISH PEOPLE,
BUT GENTILES AS WELL.
AND THAT'S WHY WE'RE ALL SUPPOSED
TO BE CELEBRATING
THESE THINGS TOGETHER.
JONATHAN: AND WE HAVE SOME OF THE SEDER ELEMENTS.
MYLES: SOME OF THEM ARE HERE,
THIS IS GOOD.
THIS IS, WE NORMALLY HAVE IT IN IN
A ROUND PLATE, LA-DI-DA,
BUT HERE'S THE POINT.
YOU KNOW, PAUL'S RABBI GAMALIEL
WHOSE RABBI WAS HILLEL,
SAID THE ONLY ESSENCE OF THE PASSOVER THAT YOU NEED
IS THE BITTER HERBS, THE LAMB SHANK,
AND THE MATZAH, THE UNLEAVENED BREAD.
JONATHAN: NICE.
MYLES: BECAUSE THOSE ARE THE THINGS
THAT DIRECTLY POINT TO THE KINGDOM.
SO THIS IS LIKE
WE REALLY NEED TO KNOW THAT THAT'S THE THING.
A LOT OF THESE THINGS DEVELOPED OVER THE MIDDLE AGES,
WELL AFTER THE TIME OF THE LORD.
BUT THE ESSENCE OF THE LAST SUPPER, SO-CALLED,
WAS OF COURSE THE PASSOVER MEAL.
SO EVERYTHING IN ALL THE FEASTS POINTS TO YESHUA.
JONATHAN: I HAVE A QUESTION FOR THE RABBI.
MYLES: YES.
JONATHAN: BECAUSE I KNOW THAT
IN PASSOVER, IT'S TRADITIONAL THAT WE'LL
LEAN, YOU KNOW, ON CUSHIONS
TO JUST BASICALLY CELEBRATE THE FREEDOM
THAT WE'RE LIVING IN,
THE NEWFOUND FREEDOM.
BECAUSE WE'RE CELEBRATING BEING OUT OF SLAVERY.
SO IS THAT WHY IN THE TRADITIONAL LAST SUPPER
WHERE JESUS IS BLOND,
IS THAT WHY THEY'RE ALL KIND OF LEANING ON EACH OTHER?
KATHARINE: THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION.
MYLES: YOU MEAN THE PICTURE OF LEONARDO DA VINCI?
JONATHAN: YES.
MYLES: THAT'S A CLASSIC PICTURE,
BECAUSE THERE'S BREAD THAT'S NOT UNLEAVENED,
AND FISH INSTEAD OF LAMB.
IT'S TOTALLY CATHOLIC.
AND SO THAT PICTURE IS A MISREPRESENTATION OF WHAT
IT ACTUALLY WAS LIKE.
THEY ACTUALLY WOULD SIT AT A LOW TABLE...
JONATHAN: RIGHT, AND LEAN ON CUSHIONS.
MYLES: YEAH, AND ACTUALLY THE PLACEMENT
OF EACH PERSON,
IT'S TALKED ABOUT THEIR POSITION
RELATIVE TO THE WHOLE.
SO YESHUA TOOK THE LOWER PLACE,
AND HE PUT JUDAS NEXT TO HIM AT THE HIGHER PLACE,
AND JOHN THE BELOVED WAS BEHIND HIM HERE.
AND THE BACKSIDE HERE
WAS OPEN SO IT WAS A TRIANGLE,
LIKE A THREE-POINTED, LIKE A U-SHAPE.
JONATHAN: YEAH.
MYLES: AND PETER TOOK,
BECAUSE HE HAD ALREADY BEEN REBUKED,
HE TOOK THE LOWEST PLACE ON THE SIDE.
SO IT WAS EASY FOR YESHUA TO GO AROUND
AND WASH HIS FEET FIRST.
ANYWAY, IT'S ALL PICTURED IN THAT.
KATHARINE: LOVE IT.
MYLES: HERE'S THE THING.
REBECCA: AND, SEE, YOU'RE HITTING ON A MAIN POINT,
WHICH A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T KNOW.
IS THAT LAST SUPPER
THAT WAS GOING ON THAT WE'VE READ ALL THE TIME IN SCRIPTURE.
THAT WAS PASSOVER THAT THEY WERE CELEBRATING.
A LOT OF CHRISTIANS DON'T KNOW THAT.
MYLES: THAT'S RIGHT.
AND THAT'S REALLY GOOD TO POINT OUT.
YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES CATHOLICS
ARE GONNA GO LOW AND SLOW.
BECAUSE YOU'VE BEEN IN THIS FOR 40 YEARS, YOU KNOW,
YOU NEED TO MAKE SURE
THAT PEOPLE CATCH UP AND DO WHAT YOU'RE DOING.
SO AND I DON'T MEAN THAT IN A PRIDEFUL WAY.
WHAT I MEAN IS THERE'S SO MUCH CONTENT.
SO WE WANT --
REBECCA: THERE'S SO MUCH THAT PEOPLE DON'T KNOW.
MYLES: YEAH, YEAH.
SO WE'RE HERE TO CONNECT THOSE DOTS FOR YOU TODAY.
MYLES: LET'S START WITH YESHUA
AND THEN WE'LL WORK BACKWARDS.
YESHUA IN LUKE 22:15,
HE SAYS WITH FERVENT DESIRE,
I'VE DESIRED TO EAT THIS PASSOVER WITH YOU
BEFORE I SUFFER.
SO HE'S TELLING THEM CLEARLY,
SOMETHING IS GOING TO HAPPEN.
AND THEY'VE ONLY KNOWN A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT.
TYPICALLY, THE MEAL STARTS WITH THE HEAD OF THE HOUSE
WASHING HIS HANDS.
AND THERE'S PRAYERS OVER THE CANDLES,
PRAYERS OVER THE WASHING OF THE HANDS.
IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THE WASHING OF THE HANDS
BECAUSE THE SECOND TIME IT TAKES PLACE,
IT'S GONNA BE AFTER THE MEAL
AND YESHUA IS GONNA DO SOMETHING SPECTACULAR.
INSTEAD OF WASHING HIS OWN HANDS,
HE'S GONNA WASH THE DISCIPLES' FEET.
JONATHAN: WOW.
REBECCA: SO EVEN THAT'S CONNECTED TO THE PASSOVER.
MYLES: THE MASTER DEMONSTRATES BEING THE SERVANT.
KATHARINE: HE SETS UP A NEW, HE SETS UP A NEW ORDER,
THAT'S WHAT HE CALLS US TO.
REBECCA: WHAT YOU SAY HE DEMONSTRATES?
MYLES: HE DEMONSTRATES BEING A SERVANT
BECAUSE THE HEAD OF THE HOUSE,
IN OUR CASE IN NEW YORK CITY,
WAS UNCLE SAM.
HE WAS A DOCTOR.
HE WAS A COHEN.
SO UNCLE SAM COHEN, DR. SAM.
HE WOULD WEAR A WHITE SHIRT
BECAUSE THE TYPICAL OF WEARING WHITE
INTO THE HEAD OF THE HOUSE
IN ORDER TO APPEAR LIKE THE PRIEST OF OLD, RIGHT?
THEY WOULD WEAR WHITE.
AND SO THERE'S ALL THE SYMBOLISM IN THAT.
BUT UNCLE SAM WOULD TYPICALLY LEAD THE THING
BECAUSE HE WAS THE OLDEST IN THE CLAN,
AND HE WAS THE ONE WHO KNEW THE HEBREW THE BEST.
HE WOULD DO THAT, RIGHT?
BUT THE HEAD OF THE HOUSE
LEADS THE THING.
BUT YESHUA WHO WAS THE MASTER,
IT'S INTERESTING ALSO
THAT HE CELEBRATED THREE PASSOVERS IN HIS THREE
YEARS OF MINISTRY.
BUT THE FIRST TWO,
HE'S NOT MENTIONED AS THE HEAD OF THE HOUSE.
IT'S ONLY THIS THIRD ONE
WHEN HE'S ABOUT TO GO TO THE CROSS
THAT HE'S AT THE HEAD OF OF THE TABLE.
BECAUSE THE GREATEST BECOMES THE LEAST.
REBECCA: AND INSTEAD OF WASHING HIS OWN HANDS,
HE WASHED HIS DISCIPLES' FEET.
MYLES: CORRECT.
AFTER DINNER, THAT'S A WHOLE THING.
SO THIS IS BASICALLY THE TELLING OF THE STORY.
WE TELL THE STORY.
AND THIS IS HOW GOD SAYS IT IN EXODUS 13:8,
YOU SHALL EXPLAIN TO YOUR CHILD ON THAT DAY,
IT IS BECAUSE OF WHAT GOD DID FOR ME
WHEN I MYSELF WENT FORTH FROM EGYPT.
WE'RE SO IDENTIFY WITH GOD'S DELIVERANCE
OF THE JEWISH PEOPLE, THE ISRAELITES
THAT WE TAKE IT PERSONALLY.
AND FOR US AS BELIEVERS,
WE'VE BEEN DELIVERED.
YOU KNOW, WE'VE BEEN DELIVERED OUT OF DARKNESS,
OUT OF SLAVERY,
OUT OF SIN.
SO IT'S SUCH A PERFECT PARALLEL
FOR THE BELIEVER IN YESHUA.
KATHARINE: I FIND THAT WHEN YOU DO
THE PASSOVER, MYLES,
YOU GET A DEEPER REVELATION
OF WHAT DELIVERANCE IS THAT GOD HAS BROUGHT US
OUT OF, YOU KNOW.
MYLES: YEAH.
KATHARINE: ALL THOSE JUDGMENTS
THAT HE WALKED THROUGH,
YOU KNOW, HE'S CONNECTING THE DOTS.
AND HE WANTS TO BRING THAT INTO OUR LIVES.
MYLES: YEAH, ALL THE FEASTS
HAVE A HISTORICAL MEANING WITH ISRAEL.
THEY HAVE A PROPHETIC MEANING,
BECAUSE THEY ALL POINT TO JESUS.
REBECCA: YUP.
MYLES: AND THEY HAVE A PERSONAL MEANING.
EVERY TIME WE DO THE FEAST,
WE KIND OF FEEL SOME SENSE OF CONNECTION WITH YESHUA
BECAUSE HE WILL SPEAK TO US PERSONALLY.
WE'VE SEEN THINGS, SOMETIMES WE'LL HAVE
AN INTIMATE PASSOVER
FOR 180, 200 PEOPLE.
AND IN THAT TIME,
WE'VE SEEN SALVATIONS.
WE'VE SEEN HEALINGS.
WE'VE SEEN PEOPLE RETURN TO THE LORD
DURING THAT TIME.
BECAUSE HE'S SPEAKING TO EACH ONE OF US
DURING THESE FEASTS.
JONATHAN: AND I ALWAYS TELL REBECCA, TOO,
EVEN BEFORE, EVEN WHILE WE WERE DATING
THAT GOD WOULD ALWAYS DO THINGS IN MY LIFE
THAT WAS CORRESPONDING WITH HIS CALENDAR,
HIS FEASTS OR HIS APPOINTED TIMES.
KATHARINE: ABSOLUTELY.
JONATHAN: IT'S SO UNIQUE
AND AMAZING WHEN YOU START DOING THESE THINGS.
EVEN IF YOU DON'T REALLY KNOW
HOW TO DO THEM,
OR YOU'RE WATCHING THEM ON YOUTUBE.
JUST BY THE ACT OF STEPPING ON FAITH
AND DOING IT,
GOD WILL START SPEAKING TO YOU
AND UNPACKING IT TO YOU
IN PERSONAL APPLICATION.
MYLES: PERSONALLY, I LOVE THAT GOD
USES THE FEASTS TO TALK TO YOU.
BECAUSE THAT'S PART OF YOUR CALLING,
AND YOUR ANOINTING, YOUR FUTURE.
IT'S MORE AND MORE OF THIS EXPOSITION OF
THE WORLD AT LARGE.
AND SO IT GIVES ME, IN YIDDISH WE SAY...
[ SPEAKING IN YIDDISH ]
MYLES: THE DAD IS OVERJOYED, YOU KNOW,
BECAUSE I LOVE SEEING YOU IN YOUR CALLING
AND THAT'S KIND OF, YOU KNOW, HOW THIS IS.
YOU KNOW, THE ONE NEW MAN
IS WHAT GOD IS GONNA SPEAK ABOUT IN THIS STUFF.
AND SO THE TELLING IS GOING THROUGH
THE HISTORY OF IT.
IT GOES THROUGH THE STORY OF THE LAMB,
THE STORY OF GETTING THE LAMB,
THE BLOOD ON THE DOORPOST.
AND YOU KNOW THIS FROM THE HEBREW THAT YOU'VE STUDIED,
THAT WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE DOORPOST,
IT COMMANDED ON THE 10TH DAY OF THIS MONTH,
THIS IS THE FIRST MONTH OF THE YEAR.
THIS IS THE CROWN JEWEL OF THE FEAST.
IT'S THE FIRST OF THE FEAST.
AND SO THEY WERE COMMANDED
ON THE TENTH DAY
OF THIS MONTH, OF THE MONTH THAT PASSOVER IS IN,
TO TAKE THE LAMB
AND TO HAVE IT IN THE HOUSE FOR FOUR DAYS.
AND TO TAKE THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB,
SLAUGHTERED, AND TAKE THE LAMB OF THE LAMB,
PUT IT ON THE DOORPOST AND THE LINTELS.
WELL, THAT PICTURE
IS THE LETTER CHET, WHICH IS THE EIGHTH LETTER
OF THE HEBREW ALPHABET.
EIGHT BEING THE NUMBER OF NEW BEGINNINGS.
AND SO THEY WERE TO GO INSIDE THE HOUSE,
THE ANGEL OF DEATH WOULD PASS OVER,
AND THEY WOULD HAVE THIS NEW BEGINNING.
WELL, THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED TO US.
KATHARINE: HE PUT THE BLOOD ON OUR HEARTS.
MYLES: THANK YOU.
HE PUT THE BLOOD ON OUR HEARTS,
AND THE ANGEL OF DEATH PASSES OVER.
YOU KNOW, WE SEE TODAY ALL THIS TRANSHUMANISM,
ALL THIS ATTEMPT TO MAKE MORTALS, IMMORTALS.
WELL, GOD SOLVED THAT TWO THOUSAND YEARS AGO
WHEN JESUS WENT TO THE CROSS.
IMMORTALITY IS OURS, NOT IN THIS LIFE,
IN THIS BODY THAT'S FALLING APART, MINE.
BUT RATHER BY GIVING US ETERNAL LIFE WITH HIM.
REBECCA: YEAH.
MYLES: YEAH.
REBECCA: DO YOU WANT TO KEEP GOING?
[ LAUGHTER ]
REBECCA: TELL US MORE, RABBI.
TELL US MORE.
JONATHAN: I DO WANT TO SAY,
I'LL BRAG ON REBECCA.
SHE DOES KNOW HOW TO SAY THE LETTER CHET.
REBECCA: CHET.
[ LAUGHTER ]
JONATHAN: SO SHE'LL HELP TEACH MY BOYS
HOW TO SPEAK HEBREW.
MYLES: WHICH IS GREAT.
THANK YOU FOR LEARNING THAT BY THE WAY.
I HAVE TO TEACH PEOPLE HOW TO SAY CHAG SAMEACH,
HAPPY HOLIDAYS.
AND THEY'LL SAY HOG.
NO, WE DON'T GO WITH HOGS HERE.
REBECCA: THERE'S NO HOGS HERE.
MYLES: NO HOGS.
THE STORY IS TOLD.
WHAT'S AMAZING ABOUT THAT
IS THE PARALLEL WITH JESUS.
ON THE TENTH DAY OF THE MONTH
IS WHAT WE CALL PALM SUNDAY.
WHEN HE CAME INTO JERUSALEM,
LOWLY, ACCORDING TO ZECHARIAH 9:9,
HE CAME LOWLY, AND HE WAS IN JERUSALEM
FOR FOUR DAYS
INSPECTED BY BOTH THE JEWS AND THE GENTILES.
IT WAS PILATE THE GENTILE WHO SAID,
I FIND NO FAULT IN THIS MAN.
AND HE WASHED HIS HANDS,
WHICH IS AMAZING ALSO.
BECAUSE AFTER THE SACRIFICE,
THE HIGH PRIEST WOULD ALWAYS WASH THEIR HANDS.
AND SO THE WORLD
AND THE RELIGIOUS BOTH TESTIFIED OR SAW,
THAT THERE WAS NO FAULT IN THIS MAN.
AND HE HAD THE SAME FOUR-DAY INSPECTION
THAT THE LITTLE LAMB WOULD HAVE
WHEN THE ORIGINAL PASSOVER TOOK PLACE.
REBECCA: BECAUSE THAT LAMB THAT WAS USED IN PASSOVER,
THE LAMB THAT WAS SACRIFICED,
IT HAD TO BE INSPECTED.
MYLE: INSPECTED.
REBECCA: IN THE SAME WAY HE WAS IN INSPECTED.
MYLES: EXACTLY RIGHT.
JONATHAN: IS THERE ANY SIMBOLISM
TO THE FACT THAT IF YOU BROUGHT A LAMB
INTO THE HOME,
PEOPLE WOULD GROW ATTACHED TO IT,
AND THEY WOULD THINK THIS IS A CUTE LAMB.
AND THEY'D LOVE IT.
IS THERE ANYTHING IN THAT?
MYLES: POWERFUL, POWERFUL CONNECTION
WITH THE FACT THAT HE IS FAMILY.
HE CHOSE, GOD HIMSELF CHOSE TO BE BORN AS A MAN,
AS THE PERFECT LAMB OF GOD.
WHEN JOHN THE BAPTIZER SAW HIM...
[ SPEAKING IN HEBREW ]
MYLES: TURNS OUT HE WASN'T A BAPTIST.
HE WAS CALVARY CHAPEL
BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE WE LEARNED TO READ THE TORAH...
KATHARINE: OKAY, OKAY.
MYLES: VERSE BY VERSE,
SORRY, I COULDN'T HELP IT.
JOHN THE BAPTIZER,
WHEN HE SAW HIS COUSIN COMING,
HE SAID...
[ SPEAKING IN HEBREW ]
MYLES: BEHOLD, THE LAMB OF GOD
WHO TAKES AWAY THE SIN OF THE WORLD.
BECAUSE THOSE LAMBS THAT WERE SACRIFICED IN THE TEMPLE,
AND THOSE THAT WERE INSPECTED HOME,
THEY HAD TO BE WITHOUT BLEMISH.
YESHUA WAS WITHOUT BLEMISH.
AND SO THE FELLOW FEELING OF THAT
IS THE INCARNATION,
THE FACT THAT GOD HIMSELF WOULD BECOME A MAN
AND COME SO CLOSE TO US,
AS TO REDEEM US AND GIVE HIS LIFE FOR US
VERY SIMILAR TO THE CLOSENESS THAT WE FEEL
ONCE WE REALIZE WHO HE IS.
THE DOOR, THE BLOOD ON THE DOOR,
THE NEW BEGINNING,
THE NEW LIFE,
PARALLELS JOHN 10,
WHEN YESHUA SAID
I AM THE DOOR.
IF ANYONE ENTERS THROUGH ME,
HE WILL BE SAVED
AND GO IN AND OUT AND FIND PASTURE.
SO THE SAME THING THAT HAPPENED FROM
THE ISRAELITES BEING SPARED DEATH IN EGYPT,
HAPPENS TO US BECAUSE HE IS THE DOOR.
JONATHAN: I LOVE HOW YOU'RE INTERTWINING
ALL OF THE SCRIPTURES
FROM THE NEW TESTAMENT INTO THIS.
BECAUSE PEOPLE THINK, OH, PASSOVER,
OLD TESTAMENT STUFF NOT RELEVANT.
BUT LOOK IT'S RIGHT HERE.
KATHARINE: IT'S ALL MENTIONED THROUGH
THE NEW TESTAMENT.
JONATHAN: THAT'S HOW YOU KNOW
THAT JESUS WAS JEWISH
AND HIS DISCIPLES WERE JEWISH.
MYLES: YEAH, AND SIGNATURE VERSE FOR US
IS MATTHEW 13:52,
WHICH TELLS US
THAT A TRUE TORAH DISCIPLE,
A STUDENT OF THE WORD,
A STUDENT OF THE WORD
SCHOOLED BY HEAVEN, MATTHEW SAYS,
IS LIKE A HOUSEHOLDER WHO BRINGS FORTH
TREASURES OLD AND NEW.
SO CONNECTING THE TWO
IS REALLY WHAT GOD IS DOING IN THE EARTH RIGHT NOW.
THE FACT THAT YOU'RE DOING THIS PROGRAM,
THE FACT THAT DAYSTAR IS SUCH A FRIEND OF ISRAEL,
THE FACT THAT PASTORS THAT WE DEAL WITH ALL THE TIME
ARE AWAKENING TO THE HEBREW ROOTS OF THE FAITH,
IS THE BEGINNING OF SOMETHING
THAT LEADS TO THE RETURN OF THE LORD.
IT'S LIKE ABRAM WAS A BRIDGE BETWEEN
THE PAGAN WORLD,
AND THE WORLD OF THE ONE TRUE GOD.
JOHN THE BAPTIZER WAS A BRIDGE BETWEEN
THE OLD TESTAMENT
AND THE NEW TESTAMENT,
AND WE ARE A BRIDGE BETWEEN THIS WORLD
AND THE KINGDOM TO COME.
REBECCA: THAT'S GOOD. JONATHAN: THAT'S GOOD.
MYLES: AND THIS IS ALL IN THERE.
SO THE SEDER PLATE
HAS ALL THESE ELEMENTS IN IT.
IT HAS THE PARSLEY OF GREEN,
SPEAKING OF NEW LIFE.
JONATHAN: THAT'S THIS.
SO WE HAVE KARPAS WHICH REPRESENT...
MYLES: NEW LIFE.
JONATHAN: WHICH IS PARSLEY OR GREENS
REPRESENTING NEW LIFE.
MYLES: NEW LIFE, YES.
SALT WATER WHICH REPRESENTS
THE TEARS OF SLAVERY.
SO DURING THE MEAL,
WE'LL TAKE THE NEW LIFE,
WE'LL DIP IT THROUGH THE SALT WATER TO REMEMBER
WHAT WE'VE COME OUT OF, RIGHT?
IT'S THE TEARS OF SLAVERY.
THE CHAROSET OR THIS MIXTURE
IS MADE OF WINE OF GRAPEJUICE
AND NUTS AND IT'S VERY SWEET.
IT'S A PICTURE OF THE MORTAR,
THAT WAS USED TO MAKE THE BRICKS
WHEN THE JEWS WERE IN CAPTIVITY.
AND THEN THE BITTER HERBS,
WHICH ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT ELEMENTS
IS AGAIN A REMINDER
OF WHAT IT'S LIKE BEFORE DELIVERANCE.
SO FOR THE ISRAELITES,
OR FOR THE JEWISH PEOPLE REMEMBERING,
IT'S LIKE, WOW,
GOD, WE REMEMBER THIS.
AS IF WE WERE THERE,
BECAUSE WE REMEMBERED HOW BITTER LIFE IS WITHOUT
YOUR DELIVERANCE.
AND FOR US,
WHAT'S LIFE LIKE BEFORE OUR BORN-AGAIN EXPERIENCE?
REBECCA: THAT'S WHAT I WAS THINKING.
THAT'S WHAT I LOVE ABOUT THESE HOLIDAYS
IS IT'S LIKE YOU SAID,
THERE'S A PERSONAL APPLICATION.
AND IT'S IMPORTANT FOR US TO REMEMBER
ALL THAT HE'S REDEEMED US FROM
AND TO HAVE A HEART OF GRATITUDE.
MYLES: YES, THAT'S REALLY GOOD
BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THIS IS ABOUT,
THE REMEMBRANCE IS ALL ABOUT BEING GRATEFUL.
THIS ROASTED EGG IS TYPICALLY USED
IT CAME ABOUT IN THE MIDDLE AGES, IT'S A LATER DEVELOPMENT.
BUT IT HAS TO DO WITH LOOKING BACK TO THE
DESTRUCTION OF THE TEMPLE.
BUT I LIKE TO THINK ALSO THAT
IT'S A REMINDER FOR US
THAT THE EASTER BUNNY CANNOT SAVE YOU.
JONATHAN: I WANT A LITTLE CHAROSET.
MYLES: SO THESE ARE THE ELEMENTS.
KATHARINE: GOOD.
JONATHAN: IT'S MY FAVORITE.
MYLES: THE LAMB SHANK WHICH IS AMAZING,
BECAUSE THE LAMB SHANK OR THE ZEROA
IS ACTUALLY THE SAME WORD THAT'S USED IN ISAIAH 53
FOR WHO WILL BELIEVE OUR REPORT?
TO WHOM HAS THE ARM OF THE LORD BEEN REVEALED?
TO WHOM HAS THE ZEROA OF THE LORD BEEN REVEALED?
SO IT'S A DIRECT REFERENCE
TO THE SACRIFICE OF YESHUA THAT WE KNOW OF.
KATHARINE: HE WAS THE ONE.
MYLES: ISAIAH 53, SOME PEOPLE WILL USE ISAIAH 53
TO TALK TO THEIR JEWISH FAMILY
ABOUT JESUS AND THE PERSON WILL SAY,
GRANDMA WILL SAY,
DON'T TALK TO ME OUT OF THE NEW TESTAMENT
AND THEY'LL SHOW THEM
THIS IS ISAIAH 53.
THIS IS DIRECTLY SPEAKING OF JESUS AND HIS SACRIFICE,
BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE IT'S BRAND-NEW
BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T REALIZE
THAT THAT ARM OF THE LORD
IS THE PICTURE OF THE OUTSTRETCHED ARMS
OF THE LORD
BRINGING DELIVERANCE TO ANYONE WHO WILL BELIEVE.
AND THEN WE COME TO THE MOST,
ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT ELEMENTS
IS THE MATZAH OR THE UNLEAVENED BREAD.
THAT'S FASCINATING TO ME THAT --
I NEED THREE OF THOSE.
JONATHAN: THREE OF THEM.
I GOT IT.
MYLES: FIRST OF ALL,
IT'S AMAZING TO ME.
DEPENDING ON WHAT CULTURE YOU'RE IN,
IT WILL LOOK DIFFERENT.
IT WILL BE PITA BREAD WITH HOLES IN IT
AND A LITTLE BURNED AND THIS AND THAT.
BUT IN AMERICA,
SINCE ABOUT THE SECOND WORLD WAR IN AMERICA,
ALL THE MATZAH THAT THE JEWISH PEOPLE EAT
IS BURNED, STRIPED AND PIERCED.
I MEAN, YOU CAN'T MAKE IT UP.
AND THAT'S NOT TYPICAL AROUND THE WORLD.
BUT I THINK GOD'S TRYING TO SPEAK TO JEWS
IN THE WESTERN WORLD.
KATHARINE: RIGHT.
MYLES: SAY, HEY, GUESS WHAT?
WE TAKE THESE THREE PIECES,
FULL PIECES OF MATZAH,
AND SOME PEOPLE SAY, OH, THIS IS ABRAHAM,
ISAAC AND JACOB.
OR THE PRIESTS, THE LEVITES AND THE PEOPLE.
JONATHAN: FATHER, SON, HOLY SPIRIT.
MYLES: COULD BE.
KATHARINE: IT'S FOR SURE.
MYLES: WE DON'T KNOW UNCLE SAM DIDN'T KNOW,
BUT THE FACT IS THAT WE TAKE THE MIDDLE ONE,
WE BREAK IT, AND WE WRAP IT IN WHITE LINEN
AND WE BURY IT.
AND AT THE END OF THE SEDER,
TOWARDS THE END OF THE SEDER,
THE CHILDREN GO OUT AND LOOK FOR IT.
AND WHEN THEY LOOK FOR IT,
THEY FIND IT AND THEY BRING IT TO THE FATHER,
AND THE FATHER GIVES THEM A REWARD.
NOW, LISTEN, THE FATHER, THE SON,
AND THE HOLY SPIRIT,
THE MIDDLE ONE, THE SON IS BROKEN BY THE FATHER.
WRAPPED IN WHITE LINEN, YESHUA WAS BURIED,
WRAPPED IN LINEN AND BURIED.
AND THEN THE CHILDREN,
BECAUSE YOU NEED TO HAVE EYES LIKE A CHILD TO SEE
THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN,
THEY BRING IT BACK TO THE FATHER,
JUST AS YESHUA WAS PRESENTED TO THE FATHER,
PRESENTED HIS SACRIFICE TO THE FATHER.
AND THEN WHOEVER CAN SEE
WITH LIKE EYES OF CHILDREN,
IS RECEIVING A GREAT REWARD.
IN OUR CASE,
IT'S ETERNAL LIFE.
AND SO THIS WHOLE STORY
THAT MY FAMILY TOLD OVER AND OVER AGAIN,
FOR CENTURIES IS POINTING TO THE FACT THAT
THERE WAS A SACRIFICE COMING
THAT WOULD REDEEM ALL OF MANKIND.
REBECCA: WHAT WAS IT LIKE,
BECAUSE YOU WERE RAISED, YOU KNOW,
IN A JEWISH HOME.
WHEN YOU CAME TO FAITH IN YESHUA,
WHAT WAS IT LIKE CELEBRATING PASSOVER FOR
THE FIRST TIME
AND SEEING ALL OF THOSE CONNECTIONS?
MYLES: IT'S HARD TO FIND WORDS
TO EXPLAIN WHAT IT'S LIKE
TO HAVE DONE SOMETHING
FOR IN MY CASE 33 YEARS
IN DARKNESS, AND TO HAVE GOD TURN ON THE LIGHT
AND TO SEE THAT THIS WHOLE THING
THAT I THOUGHT WAS CULTURAL AND ETHNIC,
AND KIND OF COOL,
NOT AS COOL AS BEING AFRICAN-AMERICAN,
BUT CLOSE.
[ LAUGHTER ]
MYLES: THAT'S NEW YORK.
YOU KNOW, AND TO FIND OUT THAT IT WAS ALL ABOUT
SALVATION IN JESUS.
KATHARINE: IT HAD MEANING.
IT HAD PURPOSE, IT HAD DEPTH.
AND IT HAD FAMILY.
FAMILY WAS THE CENTER OF IT ALL.
MYLES: YEAH.
KATHARINE: BECAUSE ALL THE FEASTS,
THEY WANT THE FAMILY TO BE TOGETHER.
MYLES: CORRECT.
KATHARINE: YEAH.
REBECCA: THAT'S SO COOL.
SO CONNECTING TO FAMILY TO THE FATHER.
KATHARINE: YEAH.
MYLES: EXACTLY RIGHT.
SO WE COME TO THE GLASS OF THE FRUIT OF THE VINE.
JONATHAN: THIS IS THE BEST.
MYLES: WELL, THERE ARE FOUR CUPS
DURING THE COURSE OF THE PASSOVER.
THERE'S FOUR CUPS
THAT ARE TAKEN.
THE FIRST CUP IS THE CUP OF SANCTIFICATION.
WE'RE SET APART
JUST AS THE ISRAELITES WERE CALLED OUT.
AND WE HAVE A PRAYER OF SANCTIFICATION.
[ SPEAKING IN HEBREW ]
MYLES: BLESSED ARE YOU LORD GOD, KING OF THE UNIVERSE,
WHO HAS SANCTIFIED US AND SEPARATED US
FOR THIS DAY FOR YOUR PURPOSES.
SO THERE'S A SETTING APART.
THE SECOND CUP IS THE CUP OF JUDGMENT.
AND IT'S FASCINATING TO ME
THAT WHAT WE DO,
IS WE GO THROUGH THE TEN PLAGUES OF EGYPT,
AND WE TAKE OUR FINGER AND DIP IT IN THE CUP,
AND WE TAKE OUT A DROP OF WINE OR JUICE,
WHATEVER IT IS.
WE TAKE IT OUT.
AND WHAT IS AMAZING TO ME
IS THAT IS A COMPASSION JUDGMENT BECAUSE THE
JUDGMENT ON EGYPT
WE'RE TRYING TO IDENTIFY
WITH THAT LOSS.
WE'RE SO GRATEFUL
THAT WE'VE BEEN SPARED THAT JUDGMENT.
BUT WE'RE NOT WILLING THAT ANY SHOULD PERISH
AND WE WISHED PHARAOH HAD REPENTED.
WE WISHED THE EGYPTIANS HAD COME AROUND.
WE WISHED THAT ANYONE WHO HEARS THE MESSAGE OF PASSOVER,
WOULD TURN TO THE LAMB.
REBECCA: RIGHT.
MYLES: SO IT'S NOT ONLY A REMEMBRANCE
OF GOD'S POWER AND JUDGMENT,
BUT ALSO A HOPE SO THAT ALL THOSE WHO ARE WITHIN
THE SOUND OF OUR VOICE
WOULD TURN TO THE LIVING GOD.
REBECCA: IT'S AN EXAMPLE OF GOD'S MERCY.
MYLES: EXACTLY RIGHT.
EXACTLY RIGHT.
AND THEN THE THIRD CUP,
WHICH IS TAKEN AFTER DINNER,
IS THE CUP OF REDEMPTION.
REBECCA: I KNOW THAT THE BIBLE SAYS
THAT WINE IS THE BLOOD OF GRAPES.
DOESN'T THE WINE REPRESENT THE BLOOD OF JESUS?
MYLES: ABSOLUTELY.
AND THAT'S WHY AT THE THIRD CUP,
AFTER THE MEAL,
I'LL GET TO THAT IN A MOMENT.
BUT AFTER THE MEAL, HE INSTITUTES WHAT WE CALL
COMMUNION IN THE CHURCH WORLD, RIGHT?
BECAUSE IT REPRESENTS WHAT'S ABOUT TO HAPPEN.
HE'S ABOUT TO GO TO THE CROSS.
HIS BODY IS GONNA BE BROKEN.
HIS BLOOD IS GONNA BE SPILLED
AND THAT'S WHAT PROVIDES REDEMPTION.
NOT ONLY FOR OUR HEALTH AND FOR THE SAKE OF UNITY,
WHICH IS WHAT THE BREAD REPRESENTS,
BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, I GUESS, IS THAT IT REPRESENTS
THE CLEANSING OVER SIN.
AND IT'S THE BLOOD.
BUT IT'S AMAZING TO ME
THAT NOT THE CUP OF SANCTIFICATION,
IT'S NOT THE CUP OF JUDGMENT,
IT'S THE CUP OF REDEMPTION,
WHICH EVERYONE KNOWS FOR CENTURIES BEFORE THE LAST
SUPPER WITH PASSOVER,
EVERYONE KNOWS THIS IS THE CUP OF REDEMPTION.
AND IT USED TO BE BACK IN THE DAY
THAT AT THE CUP OF REDEMPTION,
IT'S A PICTURE AND THE DISCIPLES
MUST HAVE KNOWN THIS.
BECAUSE WHEN A YOUNG MAN WANTED TO MARRY A YOUNG WOMAN,
HE WOULD TAKE A CUP
AND PUT IT IN FRONT OF HER.
AND IF SHE DRANK FROM IT,
THEY WERE BETROTHED.
AND HE WOULD GO TO HIS FATHER'S HOUSE
AND PREPARE A PLACE FOR HIM.
AND IN RETURN,
SHE DIDN'T KNOW WHEN.
BUT HE WOULD RETURN TO GET HER,
AND BRING HER,
AND IT'S CALLED THE BRIDE PRICE IN THE CULTURE.
SO THE BRIDE PRICE.
JONATHAN: HE WOULD GO TO HER FATHER'S HOUSE?
MYLES: NO, HE'D GO, HE WOULD GO
TO HIS FATHER'S HOUSE.
JONATHAN: OH, HE WOULD GO TO HIS FATHER'S HOUSE.
MYLES: AND PREPARE A PLACE FOR HER.
REBECCA: JUST LIKE HE'S DONE FOR US.
MYLES: JESUS SAID I AM GOING TO PREPARE A PLACE FOR YOU.
AND SO THAT WHEN THE CUP OF REDEMPTION,
WHEN HE INSTITUTED COMMUNION,
HE WAS NOT ONLY SAYING,
I'M GONNA, MY BODY IS GONNA BE GIVEN,
MY BLOOD IS GONNA BE GIVEN,
BUT GUESS WHAT?
I'M CALLING YOU INTO A BRIDAL RELATIONSHIP WITH ME.
REBECCA: IT'S A REPRESENTATION
OF COVENANT EXACTLY.
MYLES: EXACTLY RIGHT.
REBECCA: SO WHEN JESUS SAYS TO HIS DISCIPLES,
THIS IS MY BLOOD
THAT IS SHED.
THIS IS MY BODY THAT IS BROKEN.
HE'S TALKING ABOUT THE UNLEAVENED BREAD
AND THE CUP OF REDEMPTION AND PASSOVER.
KATHARINE: ABSOLUTELY.
MYLES: LET'S LISTEN TO THE WAY PAUL RECOUNTS IT,
BECAUSE THAT'S EXACTLY IT.
PAUL SAYS, FOR I RECEIVED FROM THE LORD
THAT WHICH I ALSO DELIVERED TO YOU
THAT THE LORD YESHUA,
ON THE SAME NIGHT IN WHICH HE WAS BETRAYED,
TOOK BREAD AND WHEN HE HAD GIVEN THANKS,
HE BROKE IT, AND SAID TAKE, THIS IS MY BODY,
WHICH IS BROKEN FOR YOU.
DO THIS IN REMEMBRANCE OF ME.
FOR AS OFTEN AS YOU EAT THIS BREAD AND DRINK THIS CUP,
YOU PROCLAIM THE LORD'S DEATH UNTIL HE COMES.
IN THE SAME MANNER,
HE ALSO TOOK THE CUP AFTER SUPPER.
THAT'S THE THIRD CUP.
THE CUP OF REDEMPTION.
AFTER SUPPER,
THAT'S A KEY THAT'S MISSED MANY TIMES.
REBECCA: I'VE NEVER HEARD THAT.
MYLES: AFTER SUPPER,
SAYING THIS CUP IS THE NEW COVENANT IN MY BLOOD.
THIS DO AS OFTEN AS YOU DRINK IT
IN REMEMBRANCE OF ME.
SO HE WAS MAKING CONNECTIONS
IN THE METAPHYSICAL,
IN THE INVISIBLE,
AND ABSOLUTELY IN THE CULTURAL AND HISTORICAL.
HE WAS SAYING I AM INVITING YOU INTO
A BRIDAL RELATIONSHIP WITH ME.
AND IT'S INCREDIBLE,
BUT WHEN HIS BLOOD WAS SPILLED,
WHEN THE CROSS WAS TAKING PLACE,
IT WAS AT THE SAME TIME
THAT THE LAMB WAS BEING SACRIFICED IN THE TEMPLE,
YOU KNOW, ACCORDING TO THE GOSPELS.
SO AT THE SAME HOUR,
AND THE PRIEST WOULD SAY
IN HEBREW IT IS FINISHED.
AND IN ARAMAIC,
THE ACCOUNT HAS BEEN PAID.
SO WHAT THAT MEANS IS THAT
AT THE TIME THAT HE SAID YESHUA SAID IT IS FINISHED,
THEY WERE DOING THE SAME THING
WITH THE LAMB AND THE TEMPLE.
BUT HE WAS INSTITUTING A NEW ORDER,
AND HE WAS SAYING THAT I HAVE PAID THE PRICE.
JONATHAN: THAT'S SO POWERFUL.
REBECCA: OH, WOW.
MYLES: IT NEVER ENDS.
KATHARINE: YEAH, HIS REVELATION OF HIS LOVE
IS SO DEEP AND SO WIDE.
THAT'S WHY IT'S SO IMPORTANT,
EVEN JUST TO LEAN INTO PASSOVER.
BECAUSE YOU GET A GLIMPSE OF THE FATHER'S HEART
AND WHAT JESUS PAID FOR.
THE FULL JUDGMENTS
THAT HE TOOK UPON US
AND THE FULL PRICE THAT HE PAID
AS OUR BELOVED BRIDEGROOM.
MYLES: YEAH.
REBECCA: YEAH.
MYLES: ONE LAST THOUGHT,
ONE LAST THOUGHT AS WE COME TO A CLOSE HERE,
WE KEEP A CHAIR AT THE TABLE FOR ELIJAH.
JONATHAN: I LOVE THIS.
MYLES: WE SING SONGS ABOUT ELIJAH.
AND THE JEWISH PEOPLE WHO DON'T KNOW JESUS,
WE MOURN, LOOKING FOR ELIJAH AS A PICTURE OF MESSIAH.
LOOKING FOR MESSIAH, AND WE SEND THE LITTLEST KID OUT
TO THE DOORWAY.
HE OPENS IT,
I DID THAT FOR YEARS.
AND LOOKS AND SAYS, NO, NOT THERE.
COMES BACK AND SAYS, SORRY,
NO ELIJAH.
WELL, ONE WOULD THINK THAT ONE WOULD CONTINUE BE SAD.
BUT ONCE YOU KNOW
THAT THIS IS ALL ABOUT THE SHED BLOOD
OF THE LAMB YESHUA,
THE KING, THEN YOU REALIZE THAT MALACHI PROMISED US
IN THE HEBREW SCRIPTURES
I AM SENDING YOU THE PROPHET ELIJAH,
BEFORE THE GREAT AND DREADFUL DAY OF THE LORD.
HIS PREACHING WILL TURN THE HEARTS OF THE FATHERS
TO THE CHILDREN,
AND THE HEARTS OF THE CHILDREN TO THE FATHERS.
OTHERWISE, I WILL COME AND SMITE THE LAND
WITH A CURSE.
WHAT HE'S SAYING IS THAT
BECAUSE YESHUA SAID JOHN THE BAPTIZER
CAME IN THE SPIRIT AND THE POWER OF ELIJAH.
SO THAT WAS A FORERUNNER,
JOHN WAS A FORERUNNER FOR JESUS.
BUT WHAT'S HAPPENING NOW
IS THAT GOD IS RAISING UP A BODY,
A REMNANT, ESPECIALLY IN THIS CHAOTIC TIME.
HE'S RAISING UP A REMNANT
THAT ARE TO BE WALKING IN THE SPIRIT
AND POWER OF ELIJAH
BECAUSE WE'RE THE ONES THAT ARE SHOUTING JUST
LIKE JOHN THE BAPTIZER SAID,
THERE'S ONE COMING
WHOSE SHOES I'M NOT WORTHY TO UNLATCH.
SO WE ARE NOW SHOUTING,
HE'S COMING BACK.
SO WE ARE WALKING IN THAT SEASON
WHERE WE'RE CONNECTING THIS WORLD
TO THE WORLD TO COME.
REBECCA: WOW.
MYLES: IN THE SPIRIT AND POWER OF ELIJAH.
SO EVEN THOUGH WE MIGHT NOT SEE HIM PHYSICALLY
AT THE DOOR AT PASSOVER,
WE COLLECTIVELY, THE BODY
OF MESSIAH AROUND THE WORLD,
WE ARE TO BE IN THE SPIRIT AND POWER OF ELIJAH
PROCLAIMING THE RETURN OF THE LORD.
REBECCA: THAT'S SO GOOD.
MYLES: SO THE FOURTH CUP
IS THE CUP OF PRAISE,
WHICH IS PHENOMENAL BECAUSE WE TRADITIONALLY
GO OUT PRAISING
AT THE END OF THE SEDER,
THE END OF THE PASSOVER.
WE ALSO ALWAYS SAY...
[ SPEAKING IN HEBREW ]
MYLES: NEXT YEAR IN JERUSALEM.
BUT NOW SINCE WE'RE BACK IN THE LAND,
THANK YOU.
WE ARE ABLE TO SAY
THIS YEAR IN JERUSALEM
FOR THOSE THAT LIVE THERE, RIGHT?
SO THIS HAS BEEN A HEART CRY FOREVER
AND THAT'S A WHOLE STORY ABOUT GETTING BACK.
BUT HERE WE ARE.
WE'RE BACK BECAUSE
THE LORD IS COMING BACK.
HE'S NOT COMING BACK TO DAVOS,
D.C. OR EVEN DALLAS.
HE'S COMING BACK TO JERUSALEM.
AND SO WE HAVE THIS FOURTH CUP
WHERE WE GO OUT SINGING AND PRAISING,
WHICH IS AMAZING BECAUSE
IT'S GOING TO BE NOT MANY HOURS AFTER
THAT JESUS IS GONNA BE ARRESTED.
AND SO HE'S PRAISING
ON HIS WAY TO THE CROSS.
REBECCA: WOW.
MYLES: BECAUSE THE JOY IT WAS SET BEFORE HIM,
HE ENDURED THE CROSS.
AND SO WE NEED TO PRAISE DAYSTAR SPECIALTY,
WE NEED TO PRAISE --
KATHARINE: IN THE PLACE OF PAIN.
MYLES: NO MATTER WHAT'S GOING ON,
WE NEED TO PRAISE
BECAUSE THAT DRAWS THE AUTHENTICITY AND THE POWER
OF THE LORD
AND THAT'S OUR JOB GOING FORWARD.
SO THE END OF THE PASSOVER,
THE END OF THE MEAL,
WE SEND THE BOYS,
THE YOUNG ONES AROUND
TO TRY TO FIND THE AFIKOMAN.
AFIKOMAN IS THE GREEK FOR THAT WHICH COMES AFTER.
SO THAT WHICH COMES AFTER IS --
KATHARINE: HI, ASHER.
HI, SAMUEL.
JONATHAN: SO, ASHER, THERE IS AFIKOMAN HIDDEN ON THIS TABLE.
AND WHAT IT IS, IS A PIECE OF MATZAH WRAPPED
IN A WHITE LINEN.
IF YOU FIND IT,
YOU GET A PRIZE.
KATHARINE: NOW REMEMBER WE PLAY
HOT AND COLD SOMETIMES
WHEN YOU'RE GETTING HOT AND COLD.
OKAY, YOU'RE GETTING COLD.
COME OVER, HOT, HOT, HOT,
GETTING HOT, HOT, HOT, HOT.
REBECCA: ASHER.
JONATHAN: WOW.
[ APPLAUSE ]
MYLES: ALL RIGHT.
KATHARINE: YOU FOUND IT.
IT'S A CRACKER.
GIVE IT TO THE FATHER.
MYLES: GIVE IT TO POP.
KATHARINE: AWESOME.
JONATHAN: POP, TELL ASHER WHAT IT REPRESENTS.
MYLES: IT REPRESENTS JESUS' SACRIFICE FOR YOU AND FOR ME.
AND WHAT THIS MEANS
IS THAT BECAUSE YOU'VE SEEN THIS,
BECAUSE YOU HAVE THE EYES OF A CHILD,
YOU'VE SEEN THIS
YOU GET A REWARD AND YOUR REWARD FOR BELIEVING IN JESUS
IS TO LIVE FOREVER.
KATHARINE: YAY!
MYLES: SO HERE, YOU ALSO BECAUSE WE'RE GOOD PEOPLE,
WE'RE GONNA GIVE YOU A PRESENT AS WELL.
KATHARINE: YOU WANT A SIP OF JUICE?
JONATHAN: WOULD YOU LIKE TO TAKE A SIP OF A CUP OF PRAISE?
THERE YOU GO, SON.
KATHARINE: I LOVE A GOOD PARSLEY.
JONATHAN: ME, TOO.
[ LAUGHTER ]
KATHARINE: OKAY.
FATHER OF THE HOUSE, LET'S GIVE THE GIFTS.
MYLES: OKAY, DO I HAVE THEM?
KATHARINE: YEAH.
HERE THEY COME.
REBECCA: ASHER, YOU FOUND...
MYLES: OH, YOU FOUND IT.
REBECCA: THE AFIKOMAN, SO YOU GET THE PRESENT.
BECAUSE IF WE FIND JESUS,
YOU HAVE A PRIZE.
KATHARINE: THAT'S RIGHT, THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT.
MYLES: LET'S SEE WHAT IT IS.
KATHARINE: OH, IT'S CILANTRO.
REBECCA: THAT'S THE TEXAS VERSION OF PARSLEY.
JONATHAN: NOT QUITE SURE.
MYLES: IT LOOKS GOOD.
JONATHAN: WHOA.
MYLES: WOW.
ASHER: THANK YOU FOR MY GIFT.
MYLES: YOU'RE WELCOME.
REBECCA: OPEN IT.
JONATHAN: THAT'S A SEA TURTLE.
CAN YOU SAY TURTLE?
REBECCA: IT'S A GIFT FOR BO.
ASHER: POW, POW.
KATHARINE: IT'S A POW, POW,
HE CALLS STUFFED ANIMALS POW, POW.
REBECCA: BO CALLS STUFFED --
HE CALLS ANY DOG A POW, POW.
KATHARINE: YOUR POW, POW.
JONATHAN: OH, THAT'S A SWEET POW, POW.
MYLES: THESE ARE GREAT.
REBECCA: WELL, IT'S ALWAYS FUN HAVING
THE WHOLE FAMILY HERE.
I WANT TO GIVE A SPECIAL SHOUTOUT TO MYLES.
THANK YOU FOR WALKING US THROUGH THIS BEAUTIFUL
TEACHING OF PASSOVER.
I WANT TO ENCOURAGE YOU GUYS
TO START CELEBRATING WITH YOUR FAMILIES
AND MAKE THAT PERSONAL CONNECTION
OF HAVING THAT COVENANT WITH YESHUA.
AND I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO MY FAMILY
FOR DOING THIS EPISODE.
AND WE HOPE YOU GUYS ARE BLESSED TODAY.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR WATCHING.
WHY DON'T WE SING SHABBAT, SHALOM, OOH!
ALL: SHABBAT, SHALOM, OOH!
SHABBAT, SHABBAT, SHABBAT, SHABBAT, SHALOM.
MYLES: HEY!
ALL: SHABBAT, SHALOM,
SHABBAT, SHALOM.
SHABBAT, SHABBAT, SHABBAT, SHABBAT, SHALOM.
