Greetings dear friends, brothers and sisters in Christ, and welcome to this study of what is commonly referred to as the Triumphant Entry. As we will see, it might be better referred to as, Behold the Spotless Lamb of God. Today is the 10th of Nisan on the Hebrew Calendar which started at 6 p.m. the 27th of March on our Gregorian Calendar. It is common that Palm Sunday, Good Friday, and Resurrection Sunday (commonly called Easter) are treated as three separate events when in reality they are one event with each part being vital to the whole. My emphasis today will focus primarily on the Lamb without blemish. Two years ago, I published this study under the title of “Eight Days That Changed Everything”. From the time the spotless lamb is chosen to the Resurrection is eight days. Eight is the number of new beginnings and the Resurrection of Christ was the new beginning of new beginnings!
All of this has its real origins before the foundation of the world
Revelation 13:8 (KJV)
8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
Before we move forward, I find the Bible Numerology of this verse interesting. Revelation is the 27th Book of the New Testament and is the number of “preaching the gospel”. Thirteen is the number of depravity and rebellion. And eight is the number of new beginnings. Wow! Jesus came preaching the gospel of the Kingdom of God, paid the price of depravity and rebellion giving those who choose Him a new beginning. The prophetic type and shadow is illustrated in the first recorded Passover.
Exodus 12:1-6 (KJV)
1 And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying,
2 This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you.
3 Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for an house:
4 And if the household be too little for the lamb, let him and his neighbour next unto his house take it according to the number of the souls; every man according to his eating shall make your count for the lamb.
5 Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year: ye shall take it out from the sheep, or from the goats:
6 And ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month: and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening.
The month of Nisan, also called Abib, is the beginning of the Biblical year not the Civil year. The Civil year starts with the first day of the seventh month on the Biblical Calendar with the Feast of Rosh Hashanah (Blowing of the Trumpets). Back to our text.
We see here that on the 10th of Nisan the perfect lamb was set aside and would be observed until the 14th of Nisan when it would be sacrificed. I hope you all can see a very clear picture of Jesus especially in verse five of the Exodus text. Jesus is our Passover; His Blood protects us and our house just as it did these ancient Israelites.
Exodus 12:13 (KJV)
13 And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.
Jumping ahead for a moment, The Triumphant Entry (Christians celebrate as Palm Sunday) is the 10th of Nisan, Jesus was in and out of Jerusalem the next five days and hangs on the cross the 14th of Nisan, is buried just before twilight the start of the 15th of Nisan and rises before dawn the 17th of Nisan. This was a Sunday, the first day of the week on the Hebrew Calendar. It was eight days from the setting aside of the Lamb of God until the Resurrection signifying a new beginning. A new beginning for all of mankind. Eight days that changed everything.
TAKE HOME:
- Jesus was and is the perfect Lamb of God.
- The blood of the lambs from Egypt protected the people in the house as does Jesus Blood today and looked forward to the Cross and Resurrection.
- The inspection period of five days of the lamb was prophetic of the coming of Grace, the Grace of God.
Lord willing, tomorrow I will continue our study of Melchizedek. Remember, we love you, the Lord loves you, and there is nothing you can do about either one.
