"The Prodigal Son, 2nd Passover and The Far Journey"


The same phrase went on a far journey or to a far country is used the same way in these 2 events. The prodigal son scripture says:

"...the younger son gathered all he had and took a journey into a far country, and there he squandered his property in reckless living."  Luke 15:13

And the son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’ But the father said to his servants,‘Bring quickly the best robe, and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet. And bring the fattened calf and kill it, and let us eat and celebrate. For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found.’ Luke 15:21-24

Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If any man of you or of your posterity shall be unclean by reason of a dead body, or be in a journey afar off, yet he shall keep the passover unto the LORD.
The fourteenth day of the second month at even they shall keep it, and eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs. Numbers 9:10,11

The Bible says Lucifer is the god and deceiver of the whole world. Lucifer made it clear when tempting Jesus that power, wealth, etc are his to give here. I believe we are the ones who left our original estate and were deceived to come here. That's the breach. The restoration of the breach, redemption, and atonement comes when we realize we made the mistake of leaving God, repenting for it, and returning to Him to celebrate that we are no longer lost.

The overall point is that we are on a far journey from home while here on Earth, so 2nd Passover could specifically be for the overcomers and redeemed.

Psalm 110:1:
Of David. A psalm. The LORD says to my lord: “Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.”

Combined with Isaiah 66:1:
Thus saith the LORD, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: where is the house that ye build unto me? and where is the place of my rest?

To me, this is saying that the people in this world are considered to be the enemies of God until redeemed by what Jesus did on the cross.
