From wars and rumors of war abroad, to the rise of anti-Christian, "woke" ideology here at home, it’s clear that Americans are living in perilous and unprecedented times. Some would even say that we’re witnessing biblical prophecy unfold in real time. Stakelbeck Tonight will make sense of these stunning developments through a bold and biblical lens.

Stakelbeck Tonight | Erick Stakelbeck: April 14, 2025 | Stakelbeck Tonight | April 14, 2025

Welcome to stakelbeck tonight.
00:00:18.374 --> 00:00:19.876
I'm erick stakelbeck
00:00:19.876 --> 00:00:20.944
And this week we enter a season of deep reflection
00:00:20.944 --> 00:00:24.481
And celebration as we mark both passover and easter.
00:00:24.481 --> 00:00:29.252
Passover marks the moment
00:00:29.252 --> 00:00:30.587
God delivered his people from bondage in egypt.
00:00:30.587 --> 00:00:33.823
It was a foreshadowing of the ultimate deliverance to come
00:00:33.823 --> 00:00:37.527
And then easter.
00:00:37.527 --> 00:00:38.595
Resurrection sunday celebrates the victory of jesus
00:00:38.595 --> 00:00:42.332
The spotless lamb,
00:00:42.332 --> 00:00:43.566
Who bore the weight of our sins and conquered death itself.
00:00:43.566 --> 00:00:48.204
In a time of global uncertainty.
00:00:48.204 --> 00:00:50.340
These sacred days remind us that god is still in control.
00:00:50.340 --> 00:00:54.978
That freedom is found in him alone, and that the cross
00:00:54.978 --> 00:00:58.982
Was not the end, it was the beginning.
00:00:58.982 --> 00:01:01.851
Tonight, we're joined by rabbi
00:01:01.851 --> 00:01:03.186
Jonathan cahn,
00:01:03.186 --> 00:01:04.287
Who will reveal the powerful mysteries of passover
00:01:04.287 --> 00:01:07.390
And how they point directly to jesus the messiah.
00:01:07.390 --> 00:01:11.661
And as we reflect on his great sacrifice,
00:01:11.661 --> 00:01:14.464
We're taking you on location to jerusalem, to the garden tomb
00:01:14.464 --> 00:01:18.835
With messianic recording artist joshua aaron for a song
00:01:18.835 --> 00:01:22.472
That beautifully captures the very heart of this season.
00:01:22.472 --> 00:01:25.942
Come and see.
00:01:25.942 --> 00:01:29.579
At the table
00:01:29.579 --> 00:01:31.548
The upper room, where we climb.
00:01:31.548 --> 00:01:37.053
You raise the cup, said the blood.
00:01:37.053 --> 00:01:40.056
It was.
00:01:40.056 --> 00:01:40.690
The wine.
00:01:40.690 --> 00:01:44.460
You said your body would.
00:01:44.460 --> 00:01:46.563
Be broken like in spring.
00:01:46.563 --> 00:01:51.568
It was a kind of love
00:01:51.568 --> 00:01:53.269
If we just could not comprehend.
00:01:53.269 --> 00:01:56.639
Lai lai lai
00:01:56.639 --> 00:02:06.983
There in the garden.
00:02:01.110 --> 00:02:08.885
Falling on your knees.
00:02:08.885 --> 00:02:10.887
You pray
00:02:10.887 --> 00:02:14.490
Abba father.
00:02:14.824 --> 00:02:16.626
To take the fall.
00:02:16.626 --> 00:02:21.931
Then your betrayer, with an army entered in
00:02:21.931 --> 00:02:29.439
Trading your love
00:02:29.439 --> 00:02:30.740
For 30 shekels and a kiss
00:02:30.740 --> 00:02:34.811
Lai lai lai
00:02:34.811 --> 00:02:44.621
Your body beaten
00:02:38.648 --> 00:02:46.623
A crown of thorns on your head.
00:02:46.623 --> 00:02:51.628
They nailed you to the tree.
00:02:51.628 --> 00:02:53.529
Your final words you said,
00:02:53.529 --> 00:02:59.469
Father, forgive them for
00:02:59.469 --> 00:03:01.537
For they know not what they do
00:03:01.537 --> 00:03:06.943
Then it was finished.
00:03:06.943 --> 00:03:08.978
They laid you in the borrowed tomb
00:03:08.978 --> 00:03:12.181
Lai lai lai
00:03:12.181 --> 00:03:25.862
Oh, oh.
00:03:16.085 --> 00:03:44.580
In early morning,
00:03:44.580 --> 00:03:46.449
It was before the break of day.
00:03:46.449 --> 00:03:52.055
The earth it trembled
00:03:52.055 --> 00:03:53.923
And stone was rolled away.
00:03:53.923 --> 00:03:59.362
The tomb was empty.
00:03:59.362 --> 00:04:01.431
Love had conquered over sin
00:04:01.431 --> 00:04:07.103
An invitation
00:04:07.103 --> 00:04:08.971
That we all may enter in
00:04:08.971 --> 00:04:11.541
Lai lai lai
00:04:11.541 --> 00:04:36.199
Come and see come in.
00:04:36.699 --> 00:04:39.202
The see where he lay
00:04:39.202 --> 00:04:43.740
Hear the angel say
00:04:43.740 --> 00:04:46.476

00:04:50.847 --> 00:04:55.351
Hallelujah
00:04:55.351 --> 00:05:04.927
Come and see come.
00:05:04.927 --> 00:05:07.063

00:05:12.802 --> 00:05:14.670

00:05:14.670 --> 00:05:19.108
He's not here.
00:05:19.108 --> 00:05:20.810
He has risen.
00:05:20.810 --> 00:05:22.812
Oh, hallelujah
00:05:22.812 --> 00:05:29.685
Oh, come and see

00:05:32.889 --> 00:05:38.161
Hear the angels say,
00:05:38.161 --> 00:05:40.863
Do not be afraid
00:05:40.863 --> 00:05:45.234
He's out here.
00:05:45.234 --> 00:05:47.003
He's risen
00:05:47.003 --> 00:05:49.238
Hallelujah
00:05:49.238 --> 00:06:13.002
Hallelujah
00:06:13.002 --> 00:06:19.163
Welcome back to stakelbeck tonight
00:06:19.931 --> 00:06:21.499
As we enter this powerful season of passover, here's a reminder
00:06:21.499 --> 00:06:25.303
That it's more than just an ancient tradition.
00:06:25.303 --> 00:06:28.105
It's a divine appointment with a direct tied
00:06:28.105 --> 00:06:31.175
To the resurrection of jesus.
00:06:31.175 --> 00:06:33.377
So what does passover mean for us today as followers of jesus?
00:06:33.377 --> 00:06:37.949
How does it connect to the gospels?
00:06:37.949 --> 00:06:39.884
And how does jesus fulfill every element of this prophetic
00:06:39.884 --> 00:06:43.754
Jewish feast?
00:06:43.754 --> 00:06:44.722
Our good friend, rabbi
00:06:44.722 --> 00:06:46.123
Jonathan cahn joins
00:06:46.123 --> 00:06:47.225
Us now to unpack the mysteries of passover.
00:06:47.225 --> 00:06:50.294
Jonathan, always great to see you.
00:06:50.294 --> 00:06:52.430
Now, a lot of people in think of passover,
00:06:52.430 --> 00:06:54.265
Obviously think of the jewish people.
00:06:54.265 --> 00:06:56.067
They say that's strictly a jewish thing.
00:06:56.067 --> 00:06:58.436
What does passover and the passover seder
00:06:58.436 --> 00:07:01.205
Have to do with christians?
00:07:01.205 --> 00:07:03.875
Well, it has everything.
00:07:03.875 --> 00:07:05.243
You know, our our our faith is a passover, a faith.
00:07:05.243 --> 00:07:08.746
We got saved on passover, no matter who you are.
00:07:08.746 --> 00:07:11.282
The lord died for us on passover as the passover lamb.
00:07:11.282 --> 00:07:15.052
I mean, you can't get much more than that
00:07:15.052 --> 00:07:16.787
On, you know,
00:07:16.787 --> 00:07:17.722
The message of passover is we were slaves,
00:07:17.722 --> 00:07:20.758
We were in bondage, and we were saved by the blood of the lamb.
00:07:20.758 --> 00:07:24.061
That's basically the gospel, you know.
00:07:24.061 --> 00:07:25.897
So passover for the jewish people, it's a physical event,
00:07:25.897 --> 00:07:28.566
But it speaks of something spiritual
00:07:28.566 --> 00:07:30.301
That's fulfilled in jesus, you know.
00:07:30.301 --> 00:07:32.236
And in corinthians five, paul says, for messiah,
00:07:32.236 --> 00:07:36.474
Our passover or our passover lamb has been sacrificed.
00:07:36.474 --> 00:07:40.778
Therefore, let us celebrate the feast with sincerity.
00:07:40.778 --> 00:07:43.281
So the is the last supper.
00:07:43.281 --> 00:07:45.516
So jewish people are on one side of the mystery
00:07:45.516 --> 00:07:47.952
And they're celebrating the seder,
00:07:47.952 --> 00:07:49.287
Not really knowing it all relates to jesus.
00:07:49.287 --> 00:07:52.256
Yes, sure.
00:07:52.256 --> 00:07:53.491
And christians are celebrating the death and resurrection of us
00:07:53.491 --> 00:07:57.562
Not knowing that this is, you know, not really,
00:07:57.562 --> 00:08:00.131
You know, injured,
00:08:00.131 --> 00:08:01.399
That this is a passover thing and the lord's supper communion.
00:08:01.399 --> 00:08:04.602
That is the. passover.
00:08:04.602 --> 00:08:06.203
Let's break down some of those mysteries of the passover.
00:08:06.203 --> 00:08:09.740
Number one, what is the mystery of the a fisherman?
00:08:09.740 --> 00:08:14.712
Yeah, this is the bread.
00:08:14.712 --> 00:08:15.746
You know, passover is the bread
00:08:15.746 --> 00:08:17.815
And the wine very much like communion.
00:08:17.815 --> 00:08:20.318
It is.
00:08:20.318 --> 00:08:21.452
And the matzah, you know, and and it's often missed
00:08:21.452 --> 00:08:24.989
What's there.
00:08:24.989 --> 00:08:26.057
You see, when jewish people show the bread, they
00:08:26.057 --> 00:08:27.858
They show it's three
00:08:27.858 --> 00:08:29.393
Pieces of bread is three masses or a trinity of matzos.
00:08:29.393 --> 00:08:34.065
Number one in the middle, they display it
00:08:34.065 --> 00:08:36.701
And then they take
00:08:36.701 --> 00:08:37.902
Out the middle one or the middle of this trinity of matzo.
00:08:37.902 --> 00:08:41.172
So you've got the father, you have the sonja of the spear,
00:08:41.172 --> 00:08:43.140
The son.
00:08:43.140 --> 00:08:44.842
It's taken out and then remember, jesus said,
00:08:44.842 --> 00:08:47.345
This is my body which is given for you.
00:08:47.345 --> 00:08:49.647
This is the symbol of his body.
00:08:49.647 --> 00:08:51.082
Well, jewish people all over the world
00:08:51.082 --> 00:08:52.817
Are taking up the middle of the trinity of matzah.
00:08:52.817 --> 00:08:55.419
Then they break the body, the body is broken,
00:08:55.419 --> 00:08:59.390
And then they wrap the they wrap this bread, this broken bread
00:08:59.390 --> 00:09:03.628
In a cloth and hide it away just as his body.
00:09:03.628 --> 00:09:07.598
Well, we'll get into that.
00:09:07.598 --> 00:09:08.466
And so it's hit away.
00:09:08.466 --> 00:09:10.434
And the passover later on cannot continue
00:09:10.434 --> 00:09:14.138
Until they find the missing matzo.
00:09:14.138 --> 00:09:17.642
And usually it's the children who have to find it.
00:09:17.642 --> 00:09:19.944
And so it's an amazing thing because, you know, jesus said,
00:09:19.944 --> 00:09:23.714
I am the bread of life.
00:09:23.714 --> 00:09:24.815
He showed his the the martyr as his as his body.
00:09:24.815 --> 00:09:28.586
He broke it and then his body was wrapped
00:09:28.586 --> 00:09:31.555
In a shroud, hid away in the tomb.
00:09:31.555 --> 00:09:34.258
And he's been hidden
00:09:34.258 --> 00:09:35.292
From the jewish people pretty much for 2000 years.
00:09:35.292 --> 00:09:38.362
And then just as the passover
00:09:38.362 --> 00:09:39.897
Cannot continue until they get it back, well,
00:09:39.897 --> 00:09:42.400
Well, you know,
00:09:42.400 --> 00:09:43.534
God's plan can't continue until israel gets it back.
00:09:43.534 --> 00:09:46.804
Gets him back.
00:09:46.804 --> 00:09:48.072
The one who comes and know,
00:09:48.072 --> 00:09:50.007
Just as it's the children who find it,
00:09:50.007 --> 00:09:51.475
It's going to be that last generation.
00:09:51.475 --> 00:09:53.110
So it's an amazing thing.
00:09:53.110 --> 00:09:54.545
And every jewish passover does this.
00:09:54.545 --> 00:09:58.082
Okay.
00:09:58.082 --> 00:09:59.083
The afi coleman was one mystery of the passover.
00:09:59.083 --> 00:10:01.285
What about the mystery of the zero to.
00:10:01.285 --> 00:10:03.854
The passover in some ways centers around this object
00:10:03.854 --> 00:10:06.624
Called the zero one.
00:10:06.624 --> 00:10:07.625
Now, passover is about the lamb,
00:10:07.625 --> 00:10:09.326
And yet every passover
00:10:09.326 --> 00:10:11.195
Of the jewish people is missing the lamb.
00:10:11.195 --> 00:10:13.064
The lamb is missing.
00:10:13.064 --> 00:10:14.365
And passover really means the passover.
00:10:14.365 --> 00:10:16.467
It means the passover lamb. the word passover.
00:10:16.467 --> 00:10:18.369
Pesach means the lamb. so it's been missing.
00:10:18.369 --> 00:10:20.638
But you have this one thing called the zero off.
00:10:20.638 --> 00:10:23.107
The zero is a lamb's bone.
00:10:23.107 --> 00:10:25.342
So it's the mystery of the passover.
00:10:25.342 --> 00:10:26.977
It's right there in the middle of the table.
00:10:26.977 --> 00:10:29.246
The zero is there.
00:10:29.246 --> 00:10:30.381
And the thing is that
00:10:30.381 --> 00:10:31.482
Amazing thing because the words, the zero in the bible
00:10:31.482 --> 00:10:34.385
Actually it appears amazingly, it says that god created
00:10:34.385 --> 00:10:38.089
The universe by the zero to it says that god saved his people
00:10:38.089 --> 00:10:42.426
Out of egypt by the zero up.
00:10:42.426 --> 00:10:44.195
And it says god will show his salvation
00:10:44.195 --> 00:10:46.030
To the world through the zero hour.
00:10:46.030 --> 00:10:48.265
And then in isaiah 43, that prophecy of the messiah
00:10:48.265 --> 00:10:51.802
Coming to die for our sins.
00:10:51.802 --> 00:10:53.204
It says at the beginning
00:10:53.204 --> 00:10:54.638
Who is believed our report and to whom has
00:10:54.638 --> 00:10:56.841
The arm of the lord been revealed.
00:10:56.841 --> 00:10:58.109
But in hebrew it says, and to whom has the zero been revealed?
00:10:58.109 --> 00:11:02.379
And then it reveals the zero which is messiah.
00:11:02.379 --> 00:11:05.716
Who is the lamb who dies for our sin?
00:11:05.716 --> 00:11:08.185
Zero speaks of the power of god.
00:11:08.185 --> 00:11:10.588
But what it's saying is the power of
00:11:10.588 --> 00:11:11.989
God is the lamb messiah in his love, who died for us.
00:11:11.989 --> 00:11:16.026
So this is the mystery of the zero.
00:11:16.026 --> 00:11:17.762
That is that every passover seder.
00:11:17.762 --> 00:11:19.997
Amazing.
00:11:19.997 --> 00:11:21.098
And folks, you're not hearing this anywhere else.
00:11:21.098 --> 00:11:23.267
Our good friend rabbi jonathan
00:11:23.267 --> 00:11:24.602
Cahn will be back with us after the break.
00:11:24.602 --> 00:11:26.771
What does good friday have to do with the garden of eden?
00:11:26.771 --> 00:11:30.074
What is unique about the hebrew date of the resurrection?
00:11:30.074 --> 00:11:33.577
Rabbi cahn reveals the significance of that day.
00:11:33.577 --> 00:11:36.881
Stick around.
00:11:36.881 --> 00:11:42.997
Stick around.
00:11:42.997 --> 00:11:48.262
Welcome back to this very special episode
00:11:49.129 --> 00:11:51.198
Of stakelbecktonight with our guest,
00:11:51.198 --> 00:11:52.800
The one and only rabbi jonathan cahn, breaking down
00:11:52.800 --> 00:11:55.702
The mysteries of passover and the mysteries of the deep
00:11:55.702 --> 00:11:59.006
Connections between good friday and the resurrection.
00:11:59.006 --> 00:12:03.310
Jonathan, look, good friday, deep connection, obviously,
00:12:03.310 --> 00:12:07.281
To the garden of eden, but a mystery there.
00:12:07.281 --> 00:12:10.117
Break that down for us.
00:12:10.117 --> 00:12:12.519
Yeah, the man was created on the sixth day.
00:12:12.519 --> 00:12:16.190
So when was man redeemed?
00:12:16.190 --> 00:12:18.058
Good friday is on the sixth day.
00:12:18.058 --> 00:12:20.627
Man fell through a because through a tree.
00:12:20.627 --> 00:12:23.897
The tree. the tree of good and evil.
00:12:23.897 --> 00:12:25.532
So we are redeemed through a tree.
00:12:25.532 --> 00:12:28.135
The cross, you know, a dead tree brought life
00:12:28.135 --> 00:12:31.972
Or a live tree brought a death and a dead tree.
00:12:31.972 --> 00:12:34.308
The cross brings life.
00:12:34.308 --> 00:12:35.642
You know, the fall of man is a is a man who's naked
00:12:35.642 --> 00:12:39.947
And linked to a tree.
00:12:39.947 --> 00:12:40.948
Well,
00:12:40.948 --> 00:12:41.448
We are saved
00:12:41.448 --> 00:12:42.583
And we are redeemed with a man who is naked on a tree.
00:12:42.583 --> 00:12:45.619
The cross.
00:12:45.619 --> 00:12:46.587
You know, on the sixth day god created man.
00:12:46.587 --> 00:12:49.189
On the sixth day, god redeemed, man on the cross
00:12:49.189 --> 00:12:52.459
And on the sixth day, this is gets a real deep here.
00:12:52.459 --> 00:12:55.529
The sixth day, you know, god
00:12:55.529 --> 00:12:56.630
Created man in the image of god in righteousness.
00:12:56.630 --> 00:12:59.900
Well, on the sixth day we made god into our image.
00:12:59.900 --> 00:13:04.004
We we made him as if he was a sinner on the cross of judgment.
00:13:04.004 --> 00:13:08.442
And yet we are saved by it through through life came death.
00:13:08.442 --> 00:13:13.080
Now through death comes life on the sixth day.
00:13:13.080 --> 00:13:15.983
These are such deep insights. i love it, jonathan.
00:13:15.983 --> 00:13:18.485
And we've got more.
00:13:18.485 --> 00:13:19.720
What is the mystery of a yoma? 39.
00:13:19.720 --> 00:13:24.091
Okay.
00:13:24.091 --> 00:13:24.591
Yellow 39.
00:13:24.591 --> 00:13:25.292
This an amazing thing.
00:13:25.292 --> 00:13:26.493
There's nothing like it in any religion or any any story here
00:13:26.493 --> 00:13:30.097
That it's a writings of the the rabbis.
00:13:30.097 --> 00:13:32.299
The book of yoma, 39, says that on
00:13:32.299 --> 00:13:36.169
Yom kippur, the day of atonement,
00:13:36.169 --> 00:13:38.405
That every year
00:13:38.405 --> 00:13:39.606
They had a record,
00:13:39.606 --> 00:13:40.607
That they tied a red cord
00:13:40.607 --> 00:13:42.309
Scarlet, that they tied to the temple door.
00:13:42.309 --> 00:13:44.211
And every year when yom kippur was over, it turned white.
00:13:44.211 --> 00:13:46.680
And they would say
00:13:46.680 --> 00:13:47.748
The scripture, as they said, the scripture, though
00:13:47.748 --> 00:13:49.249
Your sins are as as scarlet, they will be as white as snow.
00:13:49.249 --> 00:13:52.719
The amazing thing is, the rabbi said,
00:13:52.719 --> 00:13:54.087
All of a sudden, something, something cosmic happened.
00:13:54.087 --> 00:13:56.323
It all stopped.
00:13:56.323 --> 00:13:57.424
It's like god wasn't receiving the sacrifices anymore.
00:13:57.424 --> 00:13:59.760
Something changed the atonement.
00:13:59.760 --> 00:14:01.728
Well, they said it happened. the rabbis give it.
00:14:01.728 --> 00:14:04.131
They say it happened 40 years before the temple was destroyed.
00:14:04.131 --> 00:14:07.367
Well, the temple is destroyed in 70 a.d.
00:14:07.367 --> 00:14:09.636
Subtract 40 years.
00:14:09.636 --> 00:14:10.671
It takes to it about the year 30 a.d.
00:14:10.671 --> 00:14:13.573
So when jesus is dying in the cross, the body,
00:14:13.573 --> 00:14:15.542
You know, the new testament says the veil the temple was.
00:14:15.542 --> 00:14:18.078
Well, the rabbis also bear witness that everything changed.
00:14:18.078 --> 00:14:22.249
And there's a whole
00:14:22.249 --> 00:14:23.383
The receiving of atonement happened a whole new way.
00:14:23.383 --> 00:14:25.819
And the rabbis don't even know it.
00:14:25.819 --> 00:14:27.254
But it's all in there in your mouth.
00:14:27.254 --> 00:14:29.089
39 b.
00:14:29.089 --> 00:14:30.290
Oh, rabbi jonathan amazing.
00:14:30.290 --> 00:14:32.025
You're taking it to another level, my friend.
00:14:32.025 --> 00:14:34.027
We've just got a little bit of time left.
00:14:34.027 --> 00:14:35.762
Can you take us out during this passover easter season?
00:14:35.762 --> 00:14:39.099
Can you take us out of the quick prayer?
00:14:39.099 --> 00:14:41.835
Yeah, sure, father.
00:14:41.835 --> 00:14:43.103
We just praise you and thank you, lord, we love you.
00:14:43.103 --> 00:14:45.138
And lord, we ask the blessing of your life.
00:14:45.138 --> 00:14:48.408
Lord, touch everyone
00:14:48.408 --> 00:14:49.609
Who is watching, lord touch our relatives, touch
00:14:49.609 --> 00:14:51.778
By those in our life who need you.
00:14:51.778 --> 00:14:53.380
Lord, we thank you so much for your death and resurrection.
00:14:53.380 --> 00:14:57.484
And father, help us to be light, to shine it
00:14:57.484 --> 00:14:59.820
As we walk in the power of new life
00:14:59.820 --> 00:15:02.122
In yeshua jesus mighty name ha sir pesach.
00:15:02.122 --> 00:15:06.593
The passover lamb and our life jesus am samak.
00:15:06.593 --> 00:15:10.931
Happy passover, my friend. happy easter.
00:15:10.931 --> 00:15:12.866
Happy resurrection day.

00:15:31.385 --> 00:15:35.188
For redemption, especially in the land of israel?

Welcome back to a very special
00:15:50.840 --> 00:15:53.376
Stakelbeck tonight, as we enter the sacred season of passover
00:15:53.376 --> 00:15:56.679
And easter,
00:15:56.679 --> 00:15:57.514
We're focusing on israel, the land
00:15:57.514 --> 00:15:59.783
Where these biblical events unfolded. renowned
00:15:59.783 --> 00:16:02.318
Messianic recording artist joshua aaron is with us now.
00:16:02.318 --> 00:16:05.422
Josh, great to see you as always, my friend.
00:16:05.422 --> 00:16:07.624
And hey, passover and easter
00:16:07.624 --> 00:16:09.859
Both obviously carry deep spiritual significance.
00:16:09.859 --> 00:16:13.530
From your perspective,
00:16:13.530 --> 00:16:14.764
How do these two holidays connect, especially in the land
00:16:14.764 --> 00:16:18.568
Of israel?
00:16:18.568 --> 00:16:19.369
What a beautiful season we're in.
00:16:19.369 --> 00:16:20.837
And yeah, they both are very connected.
00:16:20.837 --> 00:16:23.440
As a matter of fact, easter,
00:16:23.440 --> 00:16:25.575
Which is an incredible celebration around the world,
00:16:25.575 --> 00:16:27.977
Celebrating the resurrection of the jewish savior
00:16:27.977 --> 00:16:32.015
Who came from a country called israel.
00:16:32.015 --> 00:16:35.752
He was emmanuel.
00:16:35.752 --> 00:16:37.253
This was i have my hat here, god with us.
00:16:37.253 --> 00:16:40.190
And what a lot of times we forget, even those of us,
00:16:40.190 --> 00:16:43.593
Our christian brothers, celebrating easter,
00:16:43.593 --> 00:16:45.028
We forget that this last supper was a passover seder.
00:16:45.028 --> 00:16:49.732
So they really do align.
00:16:49.732 --> 00:16:52.001
When you look at passover from
00:16:52.001 --> 00:16:54.337
The eyes of jesus in his last supper.
00:16:54.337 --> 00:16:57.540
And it's
00:16:57.540 --> 00:16:58.775
It's a beautiful connection that we can celebrate together.
00:16:58.775 --> 00:17:01.244
Yeah, it's amazing for them to come in the same season
00:17:01.244 --> 00:17:04.147
This year.
00:17:04.147 --> 00:17:05.348
Joshua. hey, what is the atmosph like in israel right now.
00:17:05.348 --> 00:17:08.751
You know, when you have both war and you have holy celebrations
00:17:08.751 --> 00:17:12.489
Taking place simultaneously,
00:17:12.489 --> 00:17:14.224
It's got to be a very interesting time
00:17:14.224 --> 00:17:16.059
In the land of israel.
00:17:16.059 --> 00:17:17.393
Yeah, it's very interesting to say the least.
00:17:17.393 --> 00:17:19.062
And really there's nothing not much to compare it to.
00:17:19.062 --> 00:17:21.264
It really.
00:17:21.264 --> 00:17:22.132
Is this the idea of, you know, trying
00:17:22.132 --> 00:17:25.568
And wanting to move on as if everything is perfect?
00:17:25.568 --> 00:17:29.172
I think that's the mindset of most israelis at this point.
00:17:29.172 --> 00:17:31.774
This this far after october 7th and trying
00:17:31.774 --> 00:17:34.878
To put an end to the war
00:17:34.878 --> 00:17:38.148
And then just move on with life as usual.
00:17:38.148 --> 00:17:40.750
It's it's not easy to do,
00:17:40.750 --> 00:17:42.952
But that's something that most israelis are just trying to do.
00:17:42.952 --> 00:17:46.022
Amen. and they are doing it.
00:17:46.022 --> 00:17:47.824
Last question then.
00:17:47.824 --> 00:17:48.825
We got to go to a great song by joshua aaron.
00:17:48.825 --> 00:17:51.461
The blessing performed at the garden tomb in jerusalem.
00:17:51.461 --> 00:17:54.731
But joshua, how can christians around the world stand in prayer
00:17:54.731 --> 00:17:58.168
And support the people of israel during this holiday season?
00:17:58.168 --> 00:18:01.838
Well, you know, first of all, i don't want to be, you know,
00:18:01.838 --> 00:18:03.940
Too heavy, but i'll be honest.
00:18:03.940 --> 00:18:05.375
You know, my great grandparents were killed in the holocaust.
00:18:05.375 --> 00:18:07.777
My grandmother fled the holocaust to come to israel.
00:18:07.777 --> 00:18:10.780
My mom came to the states where she ended up
00:18:10.780 --> 00:18:13.917
Accepting jesus as her savior.
00:18:13.917 --> 00:18:15.518
My mom was raised orthodox israeli,
00:18:15.518 --> 00:18:18.188
And i moved back there to raise my kids.
00:18:18.188 --> 00:18:19.989
And i didn't
00:18:19.989 --> 00:18:21.658
I didn't expect to see such silence
00:18:21.658 --> 00:18:23.626
In some of even mainstream christianity.
00:18:23.626 --> 00:18:26.129
Some of my brothers and sisters.
00:18:26.129 --> 00:18:27.363
So we are so grateful.
00:18:27.363 --> 00:18:29.232
I bet you most majority of your
00:18:29.232 --> 00:18:30.967
Your audience, erick, has been praying for israel.
00:18:30.967 --> 00:18:33.136
So what? first of all, want to thank you all.
00:18:33.136 --> 00:18:35.205
But second of all, you know, in a gentle way, just tell people,
00:18:35.205 --> 00:18:38.441
You know, what the scriptures say.
00:18:38.441 --> 00:18:39.776
Psalm 122, verse six
00:18:39.776 --> 00:18:41.144
Clearly says, pray for the peace of jerusalem.
00:18:41.144 --> 00:18:45.081
May they prosper. who love the.
00:18:45.081 --> 00:18:46.516
So really, just to follow scripture
00:18:46.516 --> 00:18:48.551
And pray for israel and pray for that beacon,
00:18:48.551 --> 00:18:50.653
Even on a you know, on a literal level,
00:18:50.653 --> 00:18:52.956
Just understanding what we're seeing.
00:18:52.956 --> 00:18:54.591
There's only democracy in the middle east
00:18:54.591 --> 00:18:57.694
That god would bring peace there and that that the church
00:18:57.694 --> 00:19:01.631
I our our prayers at the church would continue
00:19:01.631 --> 00:19:04.667
To speak out and stand for israel as the scriptures.
00:19:04.667 --> 00:19:07.604
Joshua well-said, as always.
00:19:07.604 --> 00:19:09.138
And we will
00:19:09.138 --> 00:19:10.373
Not remain silent on this show, and neither will joshua aaron.
00:19:10.373 --> 00:19:13.643
He's at the garden tomb
00:19:13.643 --> 00:19:15.245
In jerusalem performing his hit song, the blessing.
00:19:15.245 --> 00:19:19.482
Let's head there now.
00:19:19.482 --> 00:19:21.217
*singing in hebrew*
00:19:21.751 --> 00:22:19.228
From the very first passover
00:22:19.829 --> 00:22:21.831
In egypt to the ultimate fulfillment in jesus.
00:22:21.831 --> 00:22:25.001
This is a season of deliverance, sacrifice and redemption.
00:22:25.001 --> 00:22:29.772
As we reflect on the significance of passover,
00:22:29.772 --> 00:22:32.275
We are reminded that god's plan of salvation has been woven
00:22:32.275 --> 00:22:36.212
Throughout history.
00:22:36.212 --> 00:22:37.447
Just as the blood of the lamb
00:22:37.447 --> 00:22:39.315
Marked the dour post of the israelites,
00:22:39.315 --> 00:22:41.484
Sparing them from judgment the blood of jesus.
00:22:41.484 --> 00:22:44.821
Our passover lamb has redeemed us from sin and death.
00:22:44.821 --> 00:22:49.425
First corinthians tells us
00:22:49.425 --> 00:22:50.660
That christ, our passover, our lamb has been sacrificed.
00:22:50.660 --> 00:22:55.164
His sacrifice
00:22:55.164 --> 00:22:56.332
Was not just for one nation, but for the entire world.
00:22:56.332 --> 00:22:59.902
A gift of freedom and eternal life for all
00:22:59.902 --> 00:23:03.639
Who believe.
00:23:03.639 --> 00:23:04.674
Hey, tomorrow is good friday
00:23:04.674 --> 00:23:06.142
And we are taking you on location in jerusalem
00:23:06.142 --> 00:23:09.011
With our good friend dany the digger herman
00:23:09.011 --> 00:23:11.581
For a very special good friday show.
00:23:11.581 --> 00:23:14.650
As we walk through the very places where jesus
00:23:14.650 --> 00:23:17.887
Laid down his life for you and me,
00:23:17.887 --> 00:23:21.190
You won't want to miss it until then.
00:23:21.190 --> 00:23:23.526
God bless you and we'll see you soon.
00:23:23.526 --> 00:23:23.526
