Passover 2012

 Passover all began when the Israelites were in Egypt. God told them that in order for the death angel to pass over them that they were to put the blood of a lamb on their door posts and they would be protected. If this was done the death angel would not enter their house.


Matthew 27:29-46

27:29 (compare Matt 20:17-19). Crown G 4735; (used by kings and victors) a badge of royalty/symbol of honor. HE was King of Kings and Lord of Lords, not just over the Jews.

27:30 smote G 5180; repeated blows.

27:31-32 this is why we take up our cross and follow Him. To stand for something and make a difference.

27:33 Golgotha G 1115; (of Hebrew origin) the skull (in Latin it is Calvaria, in English Calvary).

27:34 vinegar G 3690; sour wine. Gall G 5521; poison. This would have been a poor mans wine. One the roman guards would have drunk. They would have mixed a little pain killer (gall) in it to help Jesus with the pain.

27:35 (fulfilling Psalm 22:18). Vesture G 2441; clothing.

27:37 (compare John 19:19)

27:38 (fulfilling Isaiah 53:12)

27:39 They were mocking Him.

27:40 (compare John 2:19-21 and Revelation 21:22). They perverted the Lords words. Jesus was speaking of His body which is the temple. It was raised in three days. They don’t have eyes/ears to see/hear.

27:41-42 They wouldn’t believe Him at all! They are non-believers!!

27:43 it was quoted and fulfilled from Psalm 22:8.

27:44 (compare Luke 23:39-43). One did believe and joined Him in heaven. Cast the same in his teeth: kept reviling Him.

27:45 sixth hour: noon. Ninth hour: 3pm. There was darkness in the middle of the day. This would be another sign from God for the people, yet they believe not.

27:46 quoted from (Psalm 22:1). HE was giving authority to the old testament. Also He was teaching all the way to the end. Jesus always addressed God as Father, never “God”. (for teaching purpose).

Psalm 22:1-31  (written by David concerning his son and Christ)

22:1 roaring H 7581; lamentation.

22:2 gets no rest day or night. Don’t worry God hears our prayers.

22:3 HE deserves our praises, HE is holy. In the good or bad times remember this.

22:4 (compare Deut 4:31 and Heb 13:5). Believe upon HIM and you will be delivered!

22:6 worm H 8438; crimson worm (from which scarlet dye comes from). I am sure David like Christ felt a little bloodied and beaten.


22:7-8 quoted in (Matt 27:43). Remember it is the enemies of Christ that quoted this in Matthew. This should give you comfort that God is in control.

22:9-10 loved Him from the beginning.

22:12 bulls H 6499; as breaking forth in wild strength. Bashan: known for having strong animals.

22:13 gaped H 6475; to rend, to open. HE went through this for us! HE did not open His mouth.

22:14 as HE hung on the cross, His bones pulled out of socket. A brutal way to die.

22:15 (compare John 19:38). Potsherd H 2789; a piece of pottery.

22:16 (compare Gen 3:15). Dogs: “Enemies” (as being implied). They nailed Him to the cross! This was written to give validation that God is all! We must put God in remembrance of His promises (Isa 43:26). If you don’t know them or haven’t read them you are out of luck.

22:17 tell H 5608; count. This recounts death by crucifixion (what it did to His body).

22:18 quoted in (Matt 27:35). Gives validation to all that was done by Christ.

22:19 don’t be afraid to seek the help of God; He will be there for you.

22:20 darling H 3173; only one (prized possession). Power H 3027; hand. Dog: enemy. God delivers us from the enemy as well. Just ask for the help and accept salvation and victory.

22:21 unicorn H 7214; wild bull (same as v:12).

22:22 (compare Heb 2:12-13). I will declare: Christs words in resurrection. HE came to destroy the power of death (satan), (compare Heb 2:14).

22:23 fear H 3373; morally revere. He paid a mighty price for our salvation.

22:24 HE always hears the prayers of the righteous but will answer according to what is beneficial for you.

22:25 God doesn’t keep people by fear but rather love of wanting to worship Him (revere).

22:26 meek H 6035; humble. If we partake of the salvation Christ died for, we will live forever with Him. We must seek Him.

22:27 (compare Rom 14:11). Every knee shall bow and tongue confess Jesus Christ is Lord.

22:28 (compare Matt 6:13).

22:29 all they that be fat: all the great people. Shall bow: (compare Phil 2:9-11). No body can keep themselves alive, for only God is in control.

22:30 (compare Isa 53:10). Generation: the generation of the fig tree (since 1948 when Israel became a nation, Jeremiah 24).

22:31 (compare John 19:30). He hath done this: this is the same as “it is finished”. This gives validation that Christ taught this entire Psalm on the cross.
