"The Priesthood kept the Passover first"


 It's important to note that the Priestshood observed the Passover Feast 24 hours BEFORE everyone else did in Israel. Note the timeline. Day 13 Month 1 ends at Sunset then Day 14  Month 1 begins. This is when the Priesthood observe the Passover Feast. Because we're the Royal Priesthood the Lord's Supper was observed with the disciples at this time too. The Lord then went, with His disciples, to the garden of Gethsemane to pray. He prayed three times throughout the night. This would have been at the 3rd hour [21:00 hrs], at the 6th hour [Midnight] and at the 9th hour [03:00hrs]. The Lord was then arrested and taken into custody. After sunrise He was tried by Pilate and condemned to die on the cross. The Lord was on the cross for 6 hours. This was from the 3rd hour [09:00 hrs] until the 9th hour [15:00 hrs], when the Lord took His last breath. All this took place on Day 14 Month 1. This was the actual time that Isreal killed the Passover lamb. The timing of the Lord's death fullfilled the Scriptures perfectly.

The lamb was eaten at Sunset with Unleavened Bread on Day 15 Month 1, which was a Sabbath Day. The Lord was buried in a nearby tomb just BEFORE the Sabbath began. 

The Lord was killed on Day 14 and rose from the grave before dawn, 3 Days later, on Day 16, on Firstfruits.

So you see, because we're members of the Royal Priesthood I'm expecting the Lord to summon us up into heaven in the evening after Sunset [Jerusalem Time] on Thursday the 18th of April 2019. "But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light..."[1Pet.2:9]

The Apostle Paul said that we'll be changed from mortality to immortality a the Last Trump. "Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed— in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is WRITTEN: “Death is swallowed up in victory.” [1 Cor.15:51 -54] 

The Apostle Paul was quoting from the book of Isaiah and it reads: "He will swallow up death forever..." [Isa.25:8] 

Now let's find out the context of the text: "And in this mountain the Lord of hosts will make for all people a feast of choice pieces, a feast of wines on the lees, Of fat things full of marrow, of well-refined wines on the lees. And He will DESTROY on this mountain the surface of the covering cast over all people, And the veil that is spread over all nations. He will swallow up death forever, and the Lord God will wipe away tears from all faces; the rebuke of His people He will take away from all the earth; for the Lord has spoken. And it will be said in that day: “Behold, this is our God; We have waited for Him, and He will save us. This is the Lord; We have waited for Him; We will be glad and rejoice in His salvation.” [Isa.25:6-9] 

The above text is referring to the Passover Feast we're going to observe in the Kingdom of God after the Rapture. "The covering cast over all people" and "the veil that is spread over all nations" is referring to our natural bodies! For now, we're using our natural bodies to store up the glory of God in the form of wisdom, intelligence and knowledge. The glory of God being stored up within us now is what's going to produce our glorified bodies including our riches in heaven! Our natural bodies are going to be consumed in the glory of God when Jesus comes for us in the Rapture. "But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord." [2 Cor.3:18]

"For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words." [1Thess.4:16-18]
