CHOL HAMOED PESACH

On Sunday, the eighteenth of Nisan, the Bne Israel began to prepare their belongings and animals for departure. Paro’s couriers said to them, “Your period of freedom has ended, it is time for you to return to Egypt, for you said that you would be going on a three day journey”. Israel replied, “It was not by Paro’s permission that we left Egypt. It was HaShem’s exalted hand that brought us out”. The Couriers countered, “Whether you like it or not, in the end you must obey the royal command”. Israel rose up against them and struck them, killing some and injuring others. Those who remained went back to report to Paro.

When the Couriers left at midday on the eighteenth of Nisan, Moshe said to Israel, “Go back towards Egypt so that Paro shall not claim that you are fleeing. Let him catch up with you near his land and if he has the power to stop you, let him come and stop you”. Moshe sounded the shofar and the people returned to Pi Hahiroth, a day and a half’s journey from Egypt.

When the blast of the shofar was heard, those with little faith began to tear out their hair and rend their clothes, for they thought that Moshe was returning them to Egypt. They were calmed when Moshe told them, “HaShem Himself has told me that you are free men. Our apparent retreat is only to entice the Egyptians and mislead them”.

On the third day after His resurrection, Mashiach ascends through the seven heavens (figurative of the seven sprinklings of blood?) and composed like the ashes of the red heifer of "ESH" (fire) and "MAYIM" (water) and which purify him from his state of ceremonial uncleanness.

On the seventh day after His resurrection, Mashiach ascends through the seven heavens (figurative of the seven sprinklings of blood on the curtain [wilon]?) and composed like the ashes of the red heifer of "ESH" (fire) and "MAYIM" (water) and which purify him from his state of ceremonial uncleanness.

Sunday, Nisan 25

Evening Nisan 25 - Sunday evening of that year

Yeshua shows Himself to doubting Thomas.

Yeshua celebrates Havdalah with the Disciples. John 20:26-28

IYAR 18 - LAG BAOMER

Morning/Afternoon

After a period of forty days teaching his Talmidim after his resurrection (2 Luqas (Acts) 1:3), Mashiach ascends finally to the heavens (2 Luqas 1:6-11), awaiting his return at the time appointed by HaShem, Most Blessed be He!

Israel was forty years in the Sinai Wilderness. HaShem had shown Moshe the Heavenly Tabernacle, or Temple, and had instructed Moshe to make a Tabernacle in the wilderness alike the order of the one shown to him at the mountain. It took one year to build the Tabernacle of Israel, which Israel used as the meeting place of HaShem with them for the remaining thirty-nine years. During those thirty-nine years, Israel spent six years moving about with the Tabernacle dismantled and unused. This brings us to the point that the Tabernacle of Israel was in use as the meeting place for HaShem and His people for exactly thirty-three years of the forty years of the wilderness experience.

In the Jewish year of 3828 on the ninth day of the month of Av, the Romans destroyed the Temple for the second time. However, Titus, alike Nebuchadnezzar, put Jerusalem under siege on the day of Lag B'Omer.

When His Majesty King Yeshua was Lag B'Omer in age (thirty-three years of age) his body (temple) was put to death by the Roman execution of the cross.

I believe that when Yeshua ascended, He was fulfilling His obligation to send us a Comforter to instruct us in all wisdom. Amen and therefore triumph over Nebuchadnezzar and Pilate .

FUTURES

Birchat HaChamah^{^[7]} is recited every 28 years, after sunrise on the first Wednesday of spring. The next one will be on Nisan 14, 5769.

Only once in 28 years, is the sun at exactly the same place in the sky, at the same hour and on the same day of the week, that it was at the time of its creation. We mark this occasion in the month of Nisan by rising at dawn to make the Bircat HaChamah, the blessing on the sun. After the morning prayers are recited, everyone goes outside and recites with great simcha:

"Blessed are You, HaShem, our God, King of the universe, Who does the work of creation!'

This is accompanied by the singing of songs and praises.

In the year 5769 (2009), the 206th cycle of the sun will be complete, and in the Nisan of that year, we will have the privilege once again of saying the blessing on the Sun. May it come to us and all Israel for good!

Consider that the “sun” is an allegory for the Mashiach.

* * *

Chazal teach the following chronology:

Mashiach will redeem us in Nisan.

Mashiach will be revealed on Tisha B’Av.

Mashiach will be crowned King on Yom Teruah (Rosh Hashanah).

Notes:

a. Nowadays, and after the calendrical reform at the hands of the Pharisees who sit on Moshe’s seat of authority, the calendar has been so engineered as to prevent the counting of the Omer according to the Pharisees to ever coincide with the counting of the Omer according to the Sadducees as it happened that year.

b. Our contention is that in that year in which the events of the death of His Majesty took place (before the calendrical reform) the counting of the Omer occurred coincidentally on the same day for both Pharisees and Sadducees.

c. We further contend that the dispute concerning when to eat the Korban Pesach (the night beginning, or the night ending the 14th of Nisan) was one for the sake of Heaven, and which HaShem allowed so that His Mashiach could eat and partake of the Korban Pesach of the Sadducees and die at the same time that the Perushim were killing their Korban Pesach as Hakham Shaul (himself a Perushim) informs us in 1 Cor. 5:7.

[2] Pesikta deRab Kahana, Pisqa Five, V:1; Midrash Rabbah - Genesis VI:1

[5] The Sadducees and the Pharisees had a disagreement as to when Passover was to be celebrated.

The Torah says that Passover is celebrated on the 14th of Nisan (Exodus 12:6). The Sadducees, therefore, celebrated Passover on the fourteenth.

The Oral law (from Sinai) that was used by the Pharisees, says that the "evening", in Exodus 12:6, means that we celebrate at the beginning of the 15th of Nisan. The Pharisees celebrated Passover beginning on the fifteenth of Nisan.

Because this dispute was for the sake of heaven, Yeshua used this dispute to have His last seder on the 14th (like the Sadducees), without the lamb. No one could have lamb till the next day because the Pharisees would not permit it. Yeshua therefore died at the exact time when all of the other lambs were killed for the Passover, at the end of the 14th, as ordained by the Pharisees.

Thus Yeshua could celebrate the Passover seder on the 14th while being the Passover lamb later that same day. He thus followed both the Saducees and the Pharisees in this dispute.

All orthodox Jews, down through time, all follow the oral law and the Pharisees.

[7][7] The source for the sun blessing every 28 years is from Talmud Brachot 59b. Additional sources - "Maimonides" Laws of Blessings 10:18; "Code of Jewish Law" O.C. 229:2.
