The epic showdown between the Savior and satan that began at the birth of Yeshua comes into clearer focus in the closing Chapters of Matthew. When Yeshua was a toddler, satan used King Herod, who committed mass murder, hoping to have Yeshua murdered. This caused His parents to flee to Egypt for His protection.
Yeshua’s illegitimate facade of a trial, at the hands of the religious leaders, concluded with a guilty verdict. The Lamb of God, who came to take away the sins of the world, had been convicted of crimes He did not commit and was condemned to death for blasphemy.
In the teaching, The Prophet and The Word on Trial, we witnessed the flagrant display of lawlessness, abuse of authority, and inhumane treatment against the Lamb of God who came to take away the sins of the world.
Yeshua and His Disciples had crossed over the Kidron Valley into the Garden of Gethsemane after they had finished all the events that occurred at the Last Supper.
Last week in Part 2 of The Last Supper and Passover, we investigated further the conversation, dialogue, and language of the Gospel narrative of Matthew and compared statements made in the Gospel narrative of John to help determine and answer that very important question of whether the last supper Yeshua ate with His Disciples was the Passover meal.
In Part 1 of The Last Supper and Passover, the question was asked if the Last Supper Yeshua ate with His Disciples on the night He was betrayed, was the Passover meal commanded by the Torah or was it just that, Yeshua’s last supper with His Disciples?
Was the Last Supper Yeshua ate with His Disciples on the night He was betrayed, the Passover meal commanded by the Torah or was it just that, Yeshua’s Last Supper with His Disciples?
The last thing Yeshua discussed with His Disciples, while with them on the Mt of Olives before returning to Jerusalem, was concerning His return.
Alone with His Disciples on the Mount of Olives, Yeshua begins to share the events surrounding His Second Coming. His Disciples had asked Him to tell them, when shall these things be? What shall be the sign of Thy coming, and of the end of the world?
Yeshua spent the final days of His earthly ministry with His Disciples alone on the Mount of Olives preparing them for His death that would take place in two days.
