I know I said first Passover for the start of the ministry, which I know I got wrong. However now I am thinking the possibility is actually second Passover. Yes John the Baptised started at first Passover, however there is reason to think it is second Passover.
There was revelation to do with John the Baptised, first the Elizabeth revelation, and later the John revelation. As I have said John was a type of Elijah, and Elijah was to come again, this time in the form of the chosen, the body of Christ. However there is a transition from Elijah to Elisha, who was a type of Elijah. John start at first Passover as I have said. Of course it could be wrong to connect the revelations with the ministry.
Why then Second Passover and not first? This is something I just thought of, but that does not mean I am wrong or right for that matter. Why was there a second Passover to start with?
Numbers 9:4-8 Then spake Moses unto the sons of Israel that they should keep the passover. So they kept the passover in the first month , on the fourteenth day of the month between the two evenings, in the desert of Sinai,—according to all that Yahweh commanded Moses, so, did the sons of Israel. But so it was that there were, certain men who had become unclean by a dead person, and could not keep the passover on that day,—therefore came they near before Moses and before Aaron on that day. Then said those men unto him, We, are unclean by a dead person,—wherefore should we become of less esteem for want of offering the oblation of Yahweh in its appointed season, in the midst of the sons of Israel? And Moses said unto them,—Stay, and let me hear, what Yahweh shall command concerning you! {Rotherham}
Some people were unclean, which meant that they were unable to lawfully keep the Passover on the day. Moses had not been instructed by God about what to do in this case, thus he prayed for an solution to the problem.
Numbers 9:9-12 Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying: Speak unto the sons of Israel, saying,—Though, any man, be unclean by a dead person or be on a journey afar off, whether in the case of yourselves or of your generations, yet shall he keep a passover unto Yahweh. In the second month, on the fourteenth day between the two evenings, shall they keep it,—with unleavened cakes and bitter herbs, shall they eat it. They shall not leave thereof until morning, and no bone, shall they break therein—according to all the statutes of the passover, shall they keep it. {Rotherham}
These who had been unclean, or unable to attained at the time of first Passover would keep the second Passover in the second calendar month that Yahweh had established for them to keep. Again it would be on the fourteenth. However while it has been tradition that this would be in the evening, the meal could be eaten during the day, as the correct translation is “between the evenings,” not “at the evening.” Thus you had to have it on the 14th but the instruction is clarified, in that it states between the evenings, that is between the evenings of the 13th and the 14th. Between the two evenings is the day of the 14th, if I am not mistaken.
How does this apply to the chosen, the body? Who are to become Elisha?
At the first Passover some of the chosen were unable to attain the first Passover. However I am not taking about the one earlier this year, I am talking about the first Passover back in 2009. That is when the first of the Elijah signs started. The chosen who were alive at that time, and who were part of the body spiritually would have attained the first Passover. Now I said part of the body, that is some of the chosen would not have been part of the body. The chosen do not start of their lives as part of the body. They have to wait until it is their time to become part of the body of Christ.
There is a certain group of people, the alive members of the body at that time, that will start the open door ministry. All those who will start the ministry were not able to spiritual attained the first Passover, for some of them were not part of the body at that time and therefore were unable to attain.
1Peter 2:9 Yet you are a chosen race, a "royal priesthood, a "holy nation, a procured people, so that you should be recounting the virtues of Him Who calls you out of darkness into His marvelous light,
Spiritually the body is a nation, however those who were not part of the body were not part of the nation at the time. The members of the body at the time of the first Passover in 2009 were clean and could attained. But their were other chosen who were not part of the body at the time. That is they were unable to attained the first Passover, however having become members of the body during the last two years, they have now become part of the nation and therefore can attain the second Passover in 2011.
When is second Passover? The first Passover is in the first month of the Hebrew calendar, and was on the 14 of their first month. This year, 2011, first Passover actually came on the 17 of April. I know earlier I said it was the evening of the 18th of April, but I was relying on fault information from the internet. This being based on their understanding of how the Hebrew calendar worked. From my new understanding Passover was on the day before the full moon, for the day of the full moon was the special Sabbath that started unleavened cakes or bread. The month started on the new moon, and the 15th which started unleavened cakes was on the full moon. I know the full moon was on the 18 of April this year, because I saw it that night, it was a sign for me. What did it mean? I was not sure to start with, but after a lot of study, there are a few different things it means, but I think one of the things it could be is that it tells me when the second Passover well be.
Second Passover is in the second month of the Hebrew calendar and falls on the same day, that is the 14 of their second month. The full moon falls on the 17th using our calendar. The second Passover is again the day before the full moon, thus it is the 16 of May. Now a day starts at dawn, not night in the scriptures, no matter what you have heard. I have only just learn this one myself, but to me I believe that is correct. Tradition has it that day started at evening, but this is incorrect, tradition does not make it correct. And incorrectly understanding Genesis 1, does not make it correct either, for morning is not day, it is morning, no matter what you have heard, you can not make the morning into a 12 hour day. When it says morning that would have been the end of that day, for it would have ended at the start of the next morning, the next day. If you look at the pattern of the weekly Sabbath you were commanded to work six days and then rest on the Sabbath, why is it then meant to be the other way round for each day. I might cover this in an article.
Thus anyway the night of the 16th would go partly into the 17 for our days start at midnight. You may read that it is the 18th or 18th to 19th but these are incorrect, from my understanding.
As for the Passover meal as I have said it could happen anytime of the day and did not have happen in the evening of Passover day. For the wording is actually “between the evenings,” that actually means you could have the meal during the day time. I would probably go by Israel time, so sometime after dawn in Israel on the 16 May. Then again since all the chosen are a nation, and are all over the world, it could happen earlier.
