- One of the most important annual events on the Hebrew calendar is the Passover meal and the seven-day Feast of Unleavened Bread. This powerful biblical holiday commemorates the Exodus story-the deliverance of Israel from their slavery in ancient Egypt. For Christians, this story is a prophetic picture of our own deliverance from our slavery to sin. How do we celebrate this amazing season?

We wont be missing this year's pesach and I'm not even Jewish.. We must honor the Lord during this time.
Same. My son and I are doing our best to honor the passover tomorrow for the first time. Not Jewish as far as I know lol but my savior is.
You guys haven’t revisited Isaiah lately have you? He is considered one of if not the greatest prophet of the Old Testament. Jesus quotes from Isaiah pretty frequently. Wanna know what Isaiah wrote about feasts and holidays? It’s not pretty…. Fair warning.
Jesus taught to keep His commandments not to keep the law or the feasts. He had two commandments:
1. Love the Father with everything you have. Body, soul, and spirit.
2. Love your neighbor as you love yourself.
Mark 12:30-31
King James Version
30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.
31 And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.
Isaiah 1:14-17
14Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them.
15And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.
16Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil;
17Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.
Same I will be having my family observe! Giving thanks and honor for the Lord still freeing us all from slavery of sin!
If you want
I'm going to be celebrating my 1st Pesach this year as I have found the truth. I have been eating Matzah all my life and now I know why, my spirit always knew the truth. Your videos are more than helpful David. Thankyou.
I am Gentle Christian and planning my first ever sader this year this video is helpful
Nice to hear. It is truly a great experience.
Have a wonderful Passover everyone!
David
I love the way you explain the words of Yeshúa This will be my first time celebrating the Passover. I will do my best to honor God and Yeshúa. Thank you for your words of wisdom.
❤️
Thank you! This was very helpful. This will be my first celebration of Passover. I grew up Catholic and had never been taught about it. God bless you!❤
So helpful for anyone who wants to get closer to Yeshua
I agree 👏👏
WOW! Amen! God is so Awesome!
In the past I have gone to other places for Passover with other friends. However this year I decided to have it at home. We didn't have a lot but there were four of us and it went very well.
Awesome! We had ours at home this year too.
I’m completely new to this stuff. What am I supposed to do on the Passover? (Well, I haven’t watched this video yet) but am I supposed to fast? Or eat unleaded bread for 6 days or something? Lol
@@DavidWilberBlog hey thanks for your video, I wrote down what I’m supposed to eat:
Apples
Nuts
Honey
Unleavened bread
Parsley
Horse radish - bitterness of slavery - remind of sins
Maybe grapes because of wine.
Is this correct? And I also am a little busy so I didn’t pay very close attention the whole time, so what days and I supposed to do this? I read in the Bible that it’s the second month, which is April. But do I do this feast for the first 7 days of the month? Or any 7 days within the month lol? I’m confused sorry. I’m completely new to this stuff.
@@Eternal_inquire feast of unleavened bread 🍞 is the 7 days after Passover no leaven to be eaten for 7 days no yeast or baking powder or soda nothing
@@Eternal_inquire eat lamb , unleavened bread and bitter herb , then 7 days of unleavened bread eating only not regular yeast bread. We are going yo wash feet too like Jesus did. We are doing a communion too. We don't do all the same things the Jews do like seder plate which was a later invention. Bible is quite simple instructions read exodus 12
thank you David! This video is actually something I can share with my Christian Friends, as I am a Messianic Believer in Yeshua. I also love that you use Yeshua's real, Hebrew name. thank you and I'm thrilled I found your channel. Shalom brother!
Thank you so much for explaining the passover for all us who needed help to understand it. God Bless!

You are AMAZING! I am a Catholic Christian who seeks to understand my roots much better. I just read the Book of Esther and realized Purim is in a couple of days!🎉. Thank you so much for helping me understand a little better. Also, you’ve been blessed with excellent pronunciation of our language, and your voice is pleasant, if not mesmerizing! Continue your holy work and blessing the world with your wisdom and knowledge.

Happy pesach/unleavened bread 2023!!
@richiefoerster7574 Happy Pesach and Feast of Unleavened Bread 2024! 📯📜📯📜📯
I want to celebrate the Passover this year. If I do, it will be my first Passover. But, I'm afraid to do it alone, because it is just me and my husband. I'm a Christian, but I don't belong to a church at the moment to call home. I'm going to be completely on my own through this. My husband has to work. There is no way around it. I can't drive. So, I will probably practice it at home alone. I'm completely dependent on God to lead me through it. Watching this is giving me ideas. The Seder is intimidating me. I'm worried about my husband's crazy work schedule. It messes with my focus and the intimacy that I want to have at this time.
It's been a journey these last 4 years for me. I've been a Christian my whole life. It's been quite a journey. But in the last 4 years, I have been seeking to draw closer to God. I made a commitment to read the Bible from beginning to the end. This last February I started thinking about spring and that lead me to think about the Passover. That lead to the next thought, "Should I celebrate the Passover?". In my heart I know I want to. But I don't know how I am going to do it. I'm getting emotional thinking about it. It's times like this I wish I was already part of a community or family. This would be easier if I wasn't alone.
Your video is giving me ideas and it is helping things take shape. I'm starting to believe that it is possible. I think I can do this. But I am still not sure. I think I know already that I want this to be intimate and personal. In reality I know that is not going to happen. My husband is going to be in his routine mode and that is going to make it difficult. I'm not faulting him. I love him and support him. He is a good person and I know that he is in a different place with God. But at this moment celebrating the Passover is a sudden change in our lives. It's difficult to make a change like that, when you've already being along with a demanding paycheck to paycheck lifestyle. It's like trying to change course in the middle of a rapid river. That's how it feels to me anyways.
I have no one, still doing it
You got this!!! Many Christians will be celebrating with you. ❤
I totally hear and feel you. but you are not alone in this. and i want to encourage you, nothing is in vain. just try your best. God sees your heart and intentions. why not start just focusing first on your heart and getting the leavened stuff out of it, clean it as it is your temple to honor God? God knows where you are in and coming from, he loves the hearts that are willing to honor him. The Torah doesn't say anything about the seder (this is a lot about Jewish tradition that has been added later) so break it down to the intimate level of a pessach/passover between you and God? If you can get Matzah, that's great. Eat Matzah (unleavened bred), lamb if you want and bitter herbs and a cup of grape juice or wine and gratefully remember what God did in Exodus for Israel as well as Yeshua did for you/all of us. that's the main thing. make it a special time for you and God. and keep eating the unleavened bread instead of normal one for 7 days (feast of unleavened bred). many blessings and keep walking step by step, He will guide you.
Celebrate passover by celebrating our Lord Jesus Christ's victory on the cross. He is the fulfillment of passover.
thank you!
Thank YOU for watching!
GREAT video!
Ty, again ŵe celebrate pass over with my congregation here in the Philippines during april, i would like again to invite you here in the Philippines for the celebration of feast of tabernacle for one week so that you could teach the correct ways on the celebration of the feasts of GOD for our salvation, ty and GOD BLESS
Hello my name is juston wilber thank you for this video
Appreciate the video but we must realize that most of these are tradition and not biblically commanded, personally I stay away from most of these, like a seder or haggadagh, or four cups, try to just keep it biblical 💯❤️📖🗡
Same!
Happy passover 🙏❤
How much of all of this is what YHWH told his people to do and what has been added by man?
We use a feather to sweep the leaven into a dustpan
Hello. I have participated in the Seder several times. Until I started researching more concerning the origin of it. Please look into the Greek symposium. I agree with everything else in your video except the Seder. I hope you and your family have a wonderful Passover this year and may we all draw closer to Yeshua this year and always. Shalom 🙏🏽
It helps if we honor the correct day of the Passover. The first day of Nissan was 3/11/24, according to the New Moon. Passover was 14 days later on 3/25/24. Unleavened bread began on 3/26/24. The Bible says nothing about a 13th month.
Wow you did it once again David😀. So grateful to God for you brother. How can I get in touch with you? I have already bought the book on biblical feasts. I enjoyed it and this video helped me a lot more. I need to know more
Thanks! Glad to help. You can contact me at my website: www.davidwilber.com
A lot of these traditions are not in the Thorah.
You should make a video specifically about the Word of God.
Some of what he is saying is Rabbinical Tradition without Biblical reference such as the Charoset. The Egg also has no place in a true Passover meal, it was added later.
Thank your for the great information. This is my first year keeping Passover with friends. I would just like to address one error I noticed, 1 Corinthians 5 7-8 is not commending to Christians keep the feast, it is an exhortation for Christians to purge out sin from their lives. Read Colossians 2:16-17. Blessings
”Therefore cleanse out the old leaven, so that you are a new lump, as you are unleavened. For also Messiah our Pĕsaḥ was slaughtered for us. So then let us celebrate the festival, not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of evil and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.“
Qorintiyim Aleph (1 Corinthians) 5:7-8 TS2009
”Let no one therefore judge you in eating or in drinking, or in respect of a festival or a new moon or Sabbaths - which are a shadow of what is to come - but the Body of the Messiah.“
Qolasim (Colossians) 2:16-17 TS2009
Exactly. 1st Corinthians 11:23-26 is all we need.
@@fattireale75Ahmein and Ahmein.
You always do such a wonderful job explaining things in a way easy for people to understand. Thanks for another great video, brother! Shalom!
Thank you!
David, I appreciate your work at 119, but feel the need to say that many of us came out of traditional churches because they celebrated Easter bunnies and eggs and Christmas Santa Claus with evergreen trees. Mixing Gods appointed days with pagan customs.
I think it would be fair to warn people that the Jewish rendition of the Seder plate as you taught here is copied from the Greek symposium.
Perhaps we as Hebrew Root believers should stick with the Bible’s Passover meal with the three elements mentioned in Exodus: Lamb, bitter herbs, unleavened bread. Thoughts anyone else?Shalom.
Thanks for the comment. The Torah commands us to memorialize the Exodus with a meal. That is what the seder does. If you don't like some of the traditions, don't incorporate them. But there is nothing inherently wrong with traditions. The Messiah incorporated wine in his Passover, for instance, even though the Torah says nothing about having wine during Passover. Regarding the supposed connections to the Greek symposium, the parallels involve things like reclining at a table. So what? Hitler drank water; is drinking water evil? Like I said, as long as you are memorializing the Exodus, do what you feel is best. The traditional seder is just one option.
@@DavidWilberBlogI agree with reading / memorializing the exodus story for sure.
But hey, we’re all learning and trying to be obedient to the word the best we understand. Shalom
12:00 Jesus said in the gospels multiple times that Elijah returned in the form of John the Baptist. Matthew 11 & Matthew 17. Also Luke 1.
We are in the little season. Revelation 20.
Praise be the Most High God for redeeming us through His son Lord Jesus Christ.
🙏💛🙏🧡🙏💙🙏💚🙏
Do you have a video about counting the Omer?
Any recipe for the bread? The wine? The step by step procese of observing the Passover with pictures?
Lots of great info, but it had to be the last supper, because He died when the last Passover lamb was slain, which would have been eaten in the evening that begins the 15th (unleaven bread)
All 7 Holidays are so important, they are appointment's with YA .
Can you also cover Shabbat and its relevance to Christians?
All through His word its been the 7th day, saturday.
I have a couple of videos about the Sabbath. You can search for them on my channel. Hope that helps!
how long must i celebrate it do i have to eat unleavened bread for 7 days is there a certain time i can eat like at noon or at night ir can i just eat leavened bread whenever example a snack in the morning do i also do the story telling everyday with my family or is it one day then the rest of the 7 i eat the bread normally
Elijah already came so therefore no need for the glass.
I was told the Seder was pagan and not biblical? So that's not true? I'm seeing conflicting information. Thank you so much.
1 Corinthians 11:23-26
[23] For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took bread, [24] and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, “This is my body, which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” [25] In the same way also he took the cup, after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.” [26] For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.
This is what we do. This is all we need.
@kericaswell6084 The Seder is simply a Jewish tradition. It is found no where in Scripture. We are commanded, simply to eat unleavened bread/matzah (for all x7 days), bitter herbS, and lamb. Drinking wine/juice is what Yeshua /יהרשע did and told His taught ones to drink of it on the evening of His last Pesach /Passover on this earth. We are also commanded to eat our Pesach meal in haste because the Hebrews had to flee Mitsryim /Egypt in a hurry. We are also to have shoes on our feet and a staff in hand.
I respectfully disagree with some of what you're explaining. My belief is to stick to the basics: DEUTERONOMY 12:32 "SEE THAT YOU DO ALL I COMMAND YOU; DO NOT ADD TO IT OR TAKE AWAY FROM IT." He commands us to roast lamb with fire, eat unleavened bread, and bitter herbs. THAT'S IT. The rest, as far as I can see, is ADDED TRADITION! You're walking a fine line and the wrong side of that line is just as bad as Jewish traditions that muddy the waters for a lot of people seeking truth. FOUR GLASSES OF WINE?! Even if they're small, that is A LOT of wine to drink. I seem to have missed all of the scripture that backs up the "COMMANDED" observances like pouring a glass of wine for Elijah, etc. Some scripture was shown to on the screen to back up things like OBSERVE THE HIGH SABBATHS, but YOU HAVE ADDED A LOT OF THINGS THAT ARE NOT COMMANDED. A dish representing mortar? What about all of the other aspects of slavery? Not all slaves were building things. Some were slaves that did laundry. Are we supposed to drink something that tastes like dirty laundry water? NO!! I hope I made my point. I seek the truth. If anyone has it, I am open to learning. May Yehovah bless everyone.
I think Zev is right only one glass should be on table.
Is there a teaching by you or someone else at 119 that explains when we are to kill and eat Pesach? I used to begin the preparation to eat Pesach near the end of the 14th day but just recently realized I was probably in error because doing it that way would be after The Destroyer had already come at midnight the night of the 14th. Sacrificing Pesach anytime during the daylight hours of the 14th is too late. Does that sound right?
Every calendar Day begins at dawn and you can not do the passover outside of the land.
Only Yom Kippur and Passover start at evening but look at this. Yom Kippur is over 2 calendar days
Leviticus 23:27, 32 KJV
[27] Also on the 👉tenth day👈 of this seventh month there shall be a day of atonement: it shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
[32] It shall be unto you a sabbath of rest, and ye shall afflict your souls: in the 👉ninth day👈 of the month at even, from 👉even unto even,👈 shall ye celebrate your sabbath.
CAN SOMEONE TELL ME PLEASE BECAUSE THERE LIKE A URGENCY IN MY SOUL AS A BORN AGAIN BELIEVER HOW DO WE DO THIS JUST HAVE MATZO ALL WEEK THEN THE FEAST PLEASE WRITE BACK
Should we eat lamb on Passover?
I live in an unbelieving family so by the time the passover comes, I still got foods with leaven such as milk, bread, fried chicken etc. What should I do? I'm 13 so I don't get to decide much on my own.
If your family isn't willing to observe the season, it sounds like there's not much you can do about removing leaven from the home. Just do the best you can with what you can do on your own, like avoid eating leavened foods during that time. Praying for you!
@@DavidWilberBlog thanks for the help sir, God bless
same here!! i’m doing it solo and for the first time this year 💕
Your body is your temple of worship. Don't eat anything with leaven in it and make sure your area ( your room) or your bed if you don't have a bedroom is crumb free. See about earning some money and go buy your own matzah, boil your egg, get some romaine lettuce and some horseradish for your meal. I don't have any suggestion for the shank but you can get apple slices, sprinkle with cinnamon and eat a few walnuts. More importantly, do the prayers and toast the Lord with cranberry juice for the sweet thing on the plate. Dollar store is your friend minus the matzah. The Lord sees your soul so just try to do what you can to honor him.
Praise God such a young person as yourself has it in your heart to follow the Lord and observe Passover. I pray your walk with the Lord continues to grow daily and hopefully your family come around🙏🏾 God bless you my partner in Christ
So…someone tell me PLEASE. Friends hosting Passover told me we should ONLY eat lamb, matzah and herbs because side dishes are pagan. Is that true??
I read the same thing. Lots of Greek traditions in the current Seder.
I've heard that too.
What if your vegetarian?
actually yes, the elements of the seder with the plate and the egg as well as the charroset and the guidance through a haggadah came into the picture only much later through the influences of roman and especially hellenic customs. So yes, biblical passah is only what you wrote. if you take in a cup of wine or grape juice just like Yeshua did to remember his salvation that would be biblical, too. but anything else was added through jewish (rabbinical) traditions throughout time and history... search for hellenic symposium and pessach seder for more information
@@dbaker0226you may eat beet root instead of lamb
Hi David, what are your thoughts on the fact that it says in exodus that gentiles are not to eat of the lamb? I’m seeing a lot of messianic congregations believe Gentiles and Jews are still supposed to be in unity but yet different rules . I’ve been offered up verses about Gentiles not being allowed to eat the Lamb etc
Exodus 12 says that they can if they are circumcised. And not even Jews can eat it if they are uncircumcised. So it's not a double standard for Jews and Gentiles-both are free to enjoy to eat the Passover lamb if they are circumcised. It's kind of a moot point, however, since we can't even have a Passover lamb in our modern time. We can still have a memorial seder with bitter herbs, etc.
Are the Seder dinner and the Passover feast synonymous?
When you remove the leaven from your home can you keep it outside or does it have to be thrown away
It represents sin, why would you want it back in your home? That’s what I asked myself some years ago. So I throw mine away. I don’t want to give “sin,” to my neighbors. Have a blessed moed’im.
I wish you lived in Los Angeles. Do you know of anyone of a group that does The Bible feasts in Los Angeles ?
Same brother, I would love to have fellowship with likeminded believers. I’m based in the LA area, I need to keep searching for congregations.
Im in AZ and I'm looking for the same thing.
Hey! Thanks for the video. So I was taught that communion was to be done in remembrance of him not Passover and that’s why we do communion often. Is that interpretation wrong? Is communion part of what Yeshua was saying to do or should we separate those two? Should we do communion often? I have not done communion in years by the way and don’t feel guilty or condemned for not doing so.
I think Jesus was referring to Passover when he said "do this in remembrance of me." The Christian communion tradition came from Passover. I don't think there is anything wrong with doing communion weekly or however often, as long as it does not replace the annual Passover memorial.
We never celebrated Passover and only did communion because that is what was taught. I didn’t really know about observing Passover until I was older, probably within the past 10-12 yrs.
So Jews do not do communion like the Christian churches do? They only have the wine and bread at Passover? Do you have a video about communion? If not, would be great info for Christian’s who are trying to learn the Jewish ways and actually follow more if the Torah. It really is a different viewpoint and takes a bit of time (and an open mind) to do things the Jewish way like YHWH told us to do
How much people do you need to do it correctly??
Great video but one important note:
Ex 11: 5
Ex 12:29
Both use term firstborn. No where says firstborn son. This went for all firstborn for any person, as well as cattle.
Please comment if you know different, sharing wisdom is a positive thing.
I have a question. I have two sacs of unopened flour that I bought and have. I buy my food in bulk so I have them because I make tortillas. Can I keep them if they are unopened ? They are big sacks that I haven’t opened and don’t want to throw away because of food prices and I feel that would be a waste I’m conflicted on what to do
Yeast (Leaven), represents sin in the Bible. Passover is a time for renewal, and to draw closer to the God of our Salvation, obeying His instructions.
Since there is no yeast in flour, you can certainly keep it, even if the bag were opened.
But if you add liquid to the flour the 'wild yeast' in the air will attach to it, making the batter unfit for Passover.
Hope this helps.
Happy Passover 🙏
Thank you, so how many days can we eat lamb? All 7 days by fire?
Late answer but I think your question in relevant. During the festival we do not eat the Pascal lamb in its literal sense. This is because it must be done by the priests in the Temple in Jerusalem according the Torah, which is not possible anymore. So, during Passover we eat just a remembrance, not the actual pascual lamb. Therefore you’re allowed to eat as much lamb as you want. The only exception is food that contains leaven (bread, beer, etc). The moral sense is that leaven represents our evil inclination. I hope that clarifies.
