Be Alert!
First Passover Lamb Sacrificed in Jerusalem since 70AD
Leviticus 23:5-6
`In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month
at twilight is the LORD'S Passover. `Then on the
fifteenth day of the same month there is the Feast of
Unleavened Bread to the LORD; for seven days you
shall eat unleavened bread.
Matthew 21:12-16
And Jesus entered the temple and drove out all those
who were buying and selling in the temple, and
overturned the tables of the money changers and the
seats of those who were selling doves. And He *said
to them, "It is written, `MY HOUSE SHALL BE CALLED
A HOUSE OF PRAYER'; but you are making it a
ROBBERS' DEN." And the blind and the lame came to
Him in the temple, and He healed them. But when the
chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful things
that He had done, and the children who were shouting
in the temple, "Hosanna to the Son of David," they
became indignant and said to Him, "Do You hear what
these children are saying?" And Jesus *said to
them, "Yes; have you never read, `OUT OF THE
MOUTH OF INFANTS AND NURSING BABIES YOU
HAVE PREPARED PRAISE FOR YOURSELF'?"
1 Corinthians 5:7-8
Clean out the old leaven so that you may be a new
lump, just as you are in fact unleavened. For Christ
our Passover also has been sacrificed. Therefore let
us celebrate the feast, not with old leaven, nor with the
leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the
unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
Romans 11:25-26
For I do not want you, brethren, to be uninformed of
this mystery--so that you will not be wise in your own
estimation--that a partial hardening has happened to
Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in;
and so all Israel will be saved; just as it is
written, "THE DELIVERER WILL COME FROM ZION,
HE WILL REMOVE UNGODLINESS FROM JACOB."
Zechariah 12:9-10
"And in that day I will set about to destroy all the
nations that come against Jerusalem.
"I will pour out on the house of David and on the
inhabitants of Jerusalem, the Spirit of grace and of
supplication, so that they will look on Me whom they
have pierced; and they will mourn for Him, as one
mourns for an only son, and they will weep bitterly over
Him like the bitter weeping over a firstborn.
Pesach (Passover) was celebrated on Sunday 15
Nisan 5768 (April 20, 2008)
1) Jewish Priestly Passover Sacrifice: VIDEO
WARNING: This video contains graphic content. If you
do not want to see a lamb being slain, do not watch
this video.
SOURCEFLIX.com - Posted April 2008
Over 3,000 years ago, God brought the people of
Israel out of the land of Egypt. He accomplished this
by bringing ten devastating plagues upon the
Egyptians, the last and greatest of which was the
death of the oldest son in each family. God made a
way for the Israelites to escape this death by
sacrificing a lamb and putting its blood on the
doorposts of their houses. Then the angel
would "pass over" the house with the blood so that the
firstborn would not die. At that time, God commanded
the Israelites to celebrate the Passover every year.
Each family would choose a lamb on the 10th day of
the month of Nisan and on the 14th day, the lamb
would be slain.
Shortly after the time of Christ, the Jewish temple in
Jerusalem was destroyed. Since then, the Jewish
people have not been able to follow the command to
kill a lamb on Passover. But this year, a group of
Jewish people carried out a ritual slaughter in
Jerusalem not far from where the temple used to
be.
Watching this sacrifice shows how, as God said, "the
life is in the blood." This sacrifice brings home the
high cost of sin which requires the death of a
substitute in the place of man.
Just before the animal is slain, the priest pronounced
a blessing: "Blessed are you, LORD our God, King of
the world, who has sanctified us with his statutes and
commanded us concerning the [ritual] slaughtering."

Hi JH,
Good to hear from you. Yeah, actually I got the
Hebrew in the video clip translated and the guy who
translated it for me said that they were screaming at
me in Hebrew. I knew they were yelling at me, but I
was determined to stay, basically I kept my face in the
camera and wasn't leaving unless they literally picked
me up and threw me out--which by the grace of God
they didn't do. However, they were freaked out by me
being a gentile with a camera at their secret sacrifice.
All I was thinking about the whole time was JESUS!
They asked me lot's of questions afterwards, but I kept
saying that I was independent and not with any t.v.
station. There were a lot of police and military up on
the building balconies in case anyone tried to
attack.
As far as I am aware and according to everyone I have
talked to this was a very unique sacrifice. Those that
I've talked to seem to believe that it is the first time they
have done a sacrifice like this since the days of the
temple, but I have no real way of verifying that.
Basically every year they ask the government for
permission to do this sacrifice on the Temple Mount
(as they did again this year) and every year the
government denies them permission because they
know such a sacrifice would start World War III. This
year they were especially charged because of the
killing of 8 Jewish students by a terrorist who were
studying to become Rabbi's. So they decided to do
the sacrifice anyways--of course they would have done
it on the Temple Mount had they been able to go up
there, but they are not allowed by the military.
God has graciously opened the doors for us to
interview and actually get to know some of the Jewish
Priests. We were able to film a conference that they
had here where Cohanim (priests) gathered from all
over the world . Their purpose of coming together was
to start organizing themselves and begin training for
their future activation once the third temple is built. We
were the only gentiles at this event as well (actually
the only non priests and Levites), but we were allowed
to be there as we were filming it for them (and for us at
the same time). We were able to interview the DNA
scientist at this same conference who discovered
what's called the Cohen Y Chromosome. This is the
Y chromosome that identifies the priestly class. So
they know who are priests both through their careful
traditions of handing down names and DNA testing.
Pretty cool stuff.
Anyways, they are actively building furniture for the
third temple and training the priesthood for activation.
These are facts, as for what exactly it means or when--
well I have no idea, but like you I live with the
expectation that Jesus is coming soon. Living here in
Jerusalem makes this easy to do.
We are also getting to know the Muslims well and God
has opened the doors there as well. Just two days
ago two Palestinians took us into the worst terrorist
hotbed in the country outside of Gaza. We made it to
the ruins of Biblical Shechem and to Jacob's well
where Jesus met with the Samaritan women. We
seem to be able to move into the hard areas just fine
as long as we are with Muslims. Otherwise they won't
even let us past the check points.
Make sure you tell people to go to www.sourceflix.com
and sign up on our email list there. Sourceflix and
Living Hope Ministries of course are the same (just
us), but we have had to start sourceflix to protect us
while we work here. I can't and should not go into any
details on my email. I have had my computer
confiscated once already and checked out.
Anyways, be praying that God would continue to grant
us favor and protect us in the work he has us doing.
Give my love to R--- and G--- and the others. I miss
you guys.
Love you brother!
