THE COMMEMORATION OF PASSOVER

On this historic year as we have enjoyed the plagues of grasshoppers, rivers turning red and now an overflowing scourge (that is only just a taste and not the real deal....), we get to celebrate in like manner, the original Passover Feast.

This is from an earlier post a week or two ago, but it now holds much more meaning:

My wife says she discovered this last fall and we discussed it.  Truly it is related to the Destroying Angel passing over with tones of Passover in ancient Egypt:

Isaiah 26:
20 ¶ Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast.

Folks, if you want an authentic Passover experience, one of my favorite people, Rabbi Jonathan Cahn, is putting on a live-stream of the event on Wednesday.  Combined with a world-wide fast a few days later on Friday, this will be an epic week.

Here is a link to the event announcement:

Start preparing now for this special event.  Some stuff may be a little hard to find in the stores right now, but you can use just about anything including flour tortillas, etc.  Here is a sample of what my oldest daughter put together about 12 years ago when we did this for fun:




When we prepared the sacrament in our home Sunday before last, we used large chunks of bread and grape juice, similar to what I observed my Jewish rabbi friend do in 2012 back in Everett at the Shabbat meal he invited me to.  I also read both accounts in D&C 20 and Moroni 7, so we knelt around the board as I held the chalice of "wine" and blessed it.

Folks, this time rocks!  Make it fun and interesting for your kids and family.  They will NEVER forget it.  I have told my kids to take notes and their grand kids will ask them about the time they went through.

In about a year, I expect we will be threading the needle for realz.  This is just a dress rehearsal.

Enjoy it, before the curtain falls.
