How Did Messiah Fulfill Yom Kippur & Passover at the Same Time?

By Maria Merola אריאל

Tovia Singer is a Jewish Anti-Missionary, who has turned many people away from believing that Yahuwshuwa is our Messiah and our Passover Lamb for salvation.

He argues in one of his YouTube videos, that Yahuwchanon (John the Baptist) was wrong in calling our Messiah “The Lamb of Elohiym, who takes away the sins of the world.” 

This is because the Passover Lamb was technically NOT A SIN OFFERING; it was to REDEEM THE FIRST-BORN SONS OF YISRA’EL. 

However, what Tovia Singer fails to understand (either because of ignorance or willful deception), is that our Messiah was fulfilling BOTH: PASSOVER & YOM KIPPUR AT THE SAME TIME! 

How do we know this? 

First, we know that when Yahuwchanon (John) baptized Yahuwshuwa in the Jordan River, this was 40 days before he completed his FAST IN THE WILDERNESS, which concluded on Yom Kippur. 

This means that his 40-day fast began on the 1st of Elul on the Hebrew Calendar. This begins which is called “The Forty Days of Teshuva or Repentance.” These were the same 40-days that Moses went up to the Mount to receive the second set of stone tablets. 

On the last day of his 40-day fast, our Messiah read the Isaiah 61 scroll in the synagogue, and he preached “THE ACCEPTABLE YEAR” of YaHuWaH, which means it was a Jubilee Year, and it was on Yom Kippur! (See Isaiah 49:8; 58:5; 61:2 & Luke 4:19). 

He also told us in Luke 4:25-26, that he was going to have the same kind of ministry as the Prophet Eliyahuw (Elijah) which would last for 3.5 years. 

At the end of his 3.5 years of ministry, he would become like the ONLY SON OF THE WIDOW (SYMBOLIC OF JERUSALEM), and AFTER THREE DAYS & THREE NIGHTS, HE WOULD BE RESURRECTED, just like the ONLY SON OF THE WIDOW, whom Eliyahuw (Elijah) raised from the dead, when he stretched himself over the boy THREE TIMES! (1st Kings 17:21-22).

At his baptism, Yahuwshuwa was fulfilling the role of the YOM KIPPUR TWIN GOATS for BOTH HOUSES OF YISRA’EL! 

When he was IMMERSED, that was a prophetic picture of the SACRIFICIAL GOAT, who is SELECTED BY THE HIGH PRIEST (his cousin, John) to be killed on Yom Kippur! 

Baptism is a SYMBOL OF DEATH in Romans 6:3-6. 

When Yahuwchanon (John) said “BEHOLD THE LAMB OF ELOHIYM,” (John 1:29 & 1:36), he was speaking of the YOM KIPPUR GOAT THAT WAS TO BE KILLED (SYMBOLICALLY) AT HIS BAPTISM! 

Yahuwchanon (John) was also foreshadowing the future PASSOVER LAMB sacrifice, which would REDEEM THE FIRST-BORN SONS OF YISRA’EL! 

The Hebrew word for “GOAT” that is used in the Yom Kippur Ordinance (Leviticus 16:20-21) is A HE-GOAT! 

#8163 sa`iyr saw-eer' or sabir {saw-eer'}; from 8175; shaggy; as noun, A HE-GOAT. 

Additionally, our Messiah was fulfilling the role of the role of “THE TWIN GOATS,” when he became the SUBSTITUTE for BAR ABBA (Barabbas), whose name means “SON OF THE FATHER!” 

In Exodus 4:22, YaHuWaH said to Pharaoh “Yisra’el is my FIRST-BORN SON.” 

Bar Abba (Barabbas) was a picture of the NATION OF YISRA’EL (the first-born son). 

Bar Abba was guilty of murder and insurrection, but he was “LET GO” (LIKE THE SCAPEGOAT, AZAZEL), while our Messiah was “SENT AWAY TO BE KILLED” (LIKE BOTH THE SACRIFICIAL GOAT & THE SCAPEGOAT). 

The definition for the term “SCAPEGOAT” is “GOAT OF DEPARTURE & THE INNOCENT PARTY WHO TAKES THE PLACE OF THE GUILTY PARTY!” 

Thus our Messiah was fulfilling the TWIN GOATS, THE PASSOVER LAMB & THE RED HEIFER ALL AT THE SAME TIME!!! 

The Red Heifer cleanses the Temple altar, when the nation became guilty of shedding innocent blood (Deuteronomy 21:1-19). This is why he was escorted “OUTSIDE THE CAMP,” to portray the role of the RED HEIFER who cleanses the altar! (Numbers 19:3).

The Red Heifer had to be at the most, 3.5 years old, which explains why our Messiahs ministry lasted for 3.5 years (Genesis 15:9). Our Messiah was also CONFIRMING ABRAHAMS COVENANT when he died on the tree, according to Daniel 9:27. 

You will notice that the heifer, the goat and the ram were all three years old, because our Messiahs ministry would last for three years, plus 6 months.

Genesis 15:9 And he said unto him, Take me A HEIFER THREE YEARS OLD, and A SHE GOAT THREE YEARS OLD, and A RAM OF THREE YEARS OLD, and a turtledove, and a young pigeon.

If our Messiah had not portrayed the role of the RED HEIFER, even their PASSOVER LAMB would not have been ACCEPTED!

The entire Kingdom of Yahuwdah (Judah) became guilty of shedding innocent blood, that Passover morning, when they shouted “CRUCIFY HIM!” (Matthew 20:19; 27:31; Mark 15:13; 14, 20 & 27; Luke 23:21; John 19:6, 10 & 15). 

The Passover sacrifice may be A MALE GOAT, A MALE LAMB, OR A RAM! Why?

Because the Passover Lamb Sacrifice ENCOMPASSES YOM KIPPUR (A SIN SACRIFICE) AS WELL AS THE PASSOVER LAMB (TO REDEEM THE FIRST-BORN SONS). 

Exodus 12:3 Speak you unto all the congregation of Yisra’el, saying, In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their fathers, A LAMB [OR A GOAT] for a house:

The Hebrew word for “LAMB” in Exodus 12:3, is as follows:

#7716 seh seh or sey {say}; probably from 7582 through the idea of pushing out to graze; a member of a flock, i.e. a sheep or goat:--(lesser, small) cattle, ewe, goat, lamb, sheep. Compare 2089. 

*Explanation: You will notice that the English translators used the word “LAMB,” but the Hebrew word (seh) has a broader meaning, which can also mean A GOAT. 

Exodus 12:5 Your LAMB shall be without blemish, A MALE OF THE FIRST YEAR: you shall take it out from THE SHEEP [RAM] or from THE GOATS:

#Explanation: You will also notice that the same Hebrew word for “LAMB” used in Exodus 12:5, is the same word used in Exodus 12:3, which is “seh.” 

It goes on to say that the “LAMB” must be without blemish, and a one-year old male. You may take it out from the “SHEEP” or the goats. 

The Hebrew word for “SHEEP” in Exodus 12:5 is as follows: 

#3532 kebes keh-bes' from an unused root meaning to dominate; A RAM (just old enough to butt):--LAMB, SHEEP. 

The Hebrew word for “GOATS” in Exodus 12:5 is as follows: 

#5795 `ez aze from 5810; a she-goat (as strong), but masculine in plural (which also is used ellipt. for goat's hair):--(she) GOAT, KID. 

What we learn from these definitions is that it is lawful to sacrifice A LAMB, A GOAT OR A RAM FOR PASSOVER! 

How did our Messiah fulfill the role of a ONE-YEAR MALE LAMB?

On the previous Passover before he died, our Caiaphas the High Priest prophesied that Yahuwshuwa was going to die for the entire nation. As the High Priest, he was “SELECTING THE LAMB,” that would be killed one year later on Passover!  

John 11:

49 And one of them, named Caiaphas, being the high priest that same year, said unto them, You know nothing at all, 

50 Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not. 

51 And this spoke he not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Yahuwshuwa should die for that nation; 

52 And not for that nation only, but that also he should gather together in one the children of Elohiym that were scattered abroad. 

53 Then from that day forth they took counsel together for to put him to death.

On First Fruits, the priest is commanded to offer up a HE-LAMB with the FIRST-FRUITS OF BARLEY as the Wave Sheaf Offering: 

Leviticus 23:12 And you shall offer that day when you wave the sheaf A HE LAMB WITHOUT BLEMISH OF THE FIRST YEAR for a burnt offering unto YHWH. 

The Hebrew word for “HE-LAMB” in Leviticus 23:12 is as follows:

#3532 “kebes,” which means A RAM, LAMB OR SHEEP.

Thus, when Tovia Singer tries to disqualify our Messiah as the Passover Lamb, he is showing that he is not the expert in the Torah that he thinks he is. 

Mr. Singer does not recognize that Yahuwshuwa was also fulfilling the YOM KIPPUR TWIN GOATS, as well as the RED HEIFER, IN ONE FELL SWOOP!

The Hegelian Dialectic Since 2020

By Maria Merola אריאל 
© Copyright Double Portion Inheritance, August 2002-2023

Following the tragic events of September 11th in 2001, my paradigm concerning politics and our government began to change profoundly.
It was during the following year of 2002, that I was given several prophetic dreams, where Yah showed me things that I had not been previously aware of. 

I was reminded of Ezekiels visions in Ezekiel 8:12, where he was told “Son of Man, have you seen what the ancients of the House of Yisrael do in the dark, every man in the chambers of his imagery? For they say YHWH sees us not; YHWH has forsaken the earth.” 

What I am going to share with you is what YaHuWaH revealed me during that year of 2002. These revelations were further confirmed to me when I did the research. We are going to learn about a strategy that the Globalists, Political Zionists and the Illuminati have been implementing into our political structure for well over the past 200 years. To learn more, see this blog: What is the Hegelian Dialectic?

Their goal is to bring the entire world to its knees, forcing humans to worship Satan himself who manifests himself in human flesh. This character is even now rising to power, and he will form a Global Dictatorship. However, he is an impostor, he is an Antichrist, and he is referred to in Scripture as “The Little Horn, the Man of Sin, the Son of Perdition, the Man of Lawlessness.

 This Globalist strategy is called the “The Hegelian Dialectic.

“...The State has the supreme right against the individual, whose supreme duty is to be a member of the State... for the right of the world spirit is above all special privileges.”-----Author-historian William Shirer, quoting Georg Hegel in his book “The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich” (1959, page 144).

This ideology presented by Georg Hegel is diametrically opposed to the Constitution of the United States which says that “We the People,” have the right to govern ourselves---not the State as a Totalitarian government. I first became aware of this strategy back in 2002, after 9/11/2001. However, I did not write a blog about it until 2008. See the blog at this link: What is the Hegelian Dialectic?

What Does the Hegelian Dialectic Look Like Since 2002?

YaHuWaH spoke to me on March 21st 2020 that Trump is “THE RIDER ON THE WHITE HORSE” from Revelation 6:2, who goes forth conquering. He was also given a CROWN (CORONA) & A BOW (TOXON) which means Poisonous Bow & Arrows! 


Trump told us in plain sight that he is “THE SNAKE WHO WOULD GIVE THE WOMAN A DEADLY BITE THAT WOULD KILL HER!” 


Trump also declared that he is “THE FATHER” of these DNA-Altering shots! He even called them “A GREAT CHRISTMAS MIRACLE” on December 21st, 2020, on the Winter Solstice, when infants have been traditionally sacrificed to Moloch! 

And we know that one of the ingredients in his SNAKE BITES are aborted bambinos! 

In November of 2023, Trump created NFT Cards featuring himself riding on a WHITE HORSE! 

Also, in July of 2023, Trump was given “The Crown of Jerusalem” by the Israel Heritage Foundation! Trump is also genetically related to the Assyrians (on his father's side), whom the prophet Isaiah prophesied about! 

Trump is also from the Tribe of Dan on his mother’s side, and Dan is used to “JUDGE THE PEOPLE!” (Genesis 49:16-17). Dan is also called “A TWO-HORNED SERPENT” (an adder or a cerastes) who bites the horses heels, and causes the rider to fall backwards! (Genesis 49:17). 




This means that Trump will sabotage himself, and FALL BACKWARDS into PERDITION (DESTRUCTION)! 

That's why he is called “THE MAN OF SIN, THE SON OF PERDITION!” 

See this blog to learn more: Trump’s Merovingian Royal Bloodline

YaHuWaH will use Trump to test our hearts, to see who belongs to the REAL MESSIAH (Yahuwshuwa) and who belongs to the FALSE MESSIAH, THE BEAST! 

See all our Trump Videos on Vimeo to learn more about who he really is: https://vimeo.com/showcase/10471282 


Also, see the YouTube Playlist with all our Trump Videos: 


In 1985, Bob Gale admitted in an interview that he created the character of Biff Tannen in “Back to the Future” to represent Donald Trump. 

When Biff (Trump) tricks George/Biden (who he calls an Irish Bug), he tells him to LOOK DOWN AT HIS SHOES, which represent THE LEFT/RIGHT PARADIGM! 

Biden is Irish, and he is the “Irish Bug” that Biff (Trump) slaps in the face! While everyone is so busy looking at the TWO PARTY SYSTEM (THE LESSER OF TWO EVILS), the Globalists are PLAYING A TRICK ON YOU! 

The “Back to the Future” creators were working for Israeli Intelligence (Mossad), along with Jeffrey Epstein (who is probably still alive), Ghislaine Maxwell, and Bill Gates. Stephen Spielberg, Bob Gale & Robert Zemeckis, all belong to this Hollywood Zionist Cinema Project, where they use film to tell the Illuminati-Initiated their plans to take over the world for THE ONE WORLD RELIGION! 

They are “All in this together” to help advance the One World Kingdom & Religion of Anti-Messiah. 

This is all explained in the film entitled “The Davinci Code,” starring Tom Hanks. At the 3:28 mark of this YouTube Video, you will see in the “Back to the Future” film, where Biff Tannen says to George McFly “Look, your shoe’s untied!” 

Biff Tannen & George McFly on BTTF: 




When George McFly looks down at his left/right feet (shoelaces), Biff smacks him in the face, and says to him “Don’t be so gullible, McFly!” The left foot/right foot is what Biff wanted George McFly to focus on, and while he effectively had him looking at the left/right paradigm, (The Hegelian Dialectic), he missed the real attack that was coming! 

This is the one of the most effective strategies of the occult leaders within the Illuminati/Global Elites. You will also notice that Biff is wearing Red for the Republic of the New Roman Empire.

Marty McFly is wearing both Red & Blue, which is a coming together of both parties, for the New Republic, which will make America into a ROMAN CATHOLIC NATION!

Another Jesuit-Illuminati Psychological Operation

The attack on Bishop Mari Emmanuel is A PSYOP, aka A PSYCHOLOGICAL OPERATION! 



He worships A FALSE JESUS & PREACHES A FALSE GOSPEL, THAT INCLUDES WORSHIPING MARY, QUEEN OF HEAVEN! 

Bishop Mari Emmanuel's fake attack comes at an OPPORTUNE TIME, when Israel is being attacked by Iran, and Donald Trump is being attacked by the LEFT IN COURT! 

This is all STAGED by the Illuminati to manipulate the emotions of Bible-believers around the world, and to cause people to be more agreeable to the ONE WORLD RELIGION OF ANTICHIRST! 

Ever since I was 14 years old, I read the true story of former Jesuit Priest named Alberto Rivera, who later became born-again, and published his testimony to Chick Publications. 

Alberto Rivera revealed many things that he was briefed about when he was being trained in the Vatican as an Assassin and a Jesuit Spy. One of the things he shared is that the Vatican STAGED A FAKE ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT of President Ronald Reagan & Pope John Paul II, in 1981. 

THESE FAKE ASSASSINATION ATTEMPTS were only a few months apart, but they were meant to bring America closer to becoming a Roman Catholic nation! 

The strategy behind these Psyops (Psychological Operations) was to give the appearance that Reagan (who claimed to be a born-again Protestant Evangelical) & Pope John Paul II had become best friends! 

Pope John Paul II was supposedly shot by a Muslim Terrorist, and he survived. He was later seen on International Television meeting with the Muslim Terrorist in Jail, and granting him forgiveness, and absolving him of his sins and the assassination attempt! 

This was meant to cause Muslims from around the world to convert to Roman Catholicism, when they saw Pope John Paul II granting his Muslim attacker forgiveness, and it worked! 

The entire world watched, as Muslims and people of other faiths all watched around the world, and they lauded Pope John Paul II as a “Born-again Christian Pope!” 

Pope John Paul II & President Reagan were both interviewed simultaneously by the news media, and they were both giving THE VIRGIN MARY THE CREDIT FOR SAVING THEM FROM THE ASSASSINATION ATTEMPTS! 

At the same time, Nancy Reagan erected a GIANT STATUE OF MARY AT THE WHITE HOUSE, and she began praying the Rosary Beads! 

These Psychological Operations are meant to manipulate the emotions of the public, so that they will become more agreeable to the religion of Roman Catholicism and the push for the ONE WORLD RELIGION OF THE VATICAN!

To learn more, see my blog entitled: 

Is President Trump a Globalist?


And now, this Bishop named Mari Emmanuel, supposedly was assaulted by a Muslim (just like Pope John Paul II), and of course, he grants the guy forgiveness! 

I see people all over social media claiming that Bishop Mari Emmanuel is being led by the Holy Spirit, because he has forgiven the Muslim attacker! 

The only problem is, that Bishop Mari Emmanuel is a WORSHIPER OF THE FALSE CATHOLIC VIRGIN MARY, which is really SATAN, who transforms himself as an ANGEL OF LIGHT (2nd Corinthians 11:14). 

The real mother of our Messiah, named Miryam (Mary), would never want us to DEIFY HER, NOR PRAY TO HER! We are commanded in Scripture not to PRAY TO THE DEAD, NOR TO STATUES, NOR GRAVEN IMAGES (Exodus 20:2-6). Deuteronomy 18:11 commands us not to have communication with the dead! This is called Necromancy! In Jeremiah 7:18 & 44:25, we are warned not to WORSHIP THE QUEEN OF HEAVEN, which was an ancient pagan fertility goddess from Babylon. The Babylonians sacrificed infants to her every Spring during Easter (Ishtar). They also dyed eggs in the blood of these infants! The Roman Catholic Church has conferred the identity of this false pagan goddess upon the true Hebrew mother of our Messiah named Miryam/Mary as they call her “THE QUEEN OF HEAVEN!” 


The Vatican is publicizing this FAKE STORY about Bishop Mari Emmanuel on purpose to push THE ONE WORLD RELIGION OF ANTI-MESSIAH! And the fact that Bishop Mari Emmanuel is helping to push Trump back into power is even more telling! 

The Mystery of Lawlessness is already at work, according to 2nd Thessalonians 2:7! 



Bishop Mar Mari Emanuel says Christianity does not make a distinction between good & bad! 

He says that if you are a Muslim you cannot eat pork. But if you are a Christian, you can eat pork, because in Christianity, there is no distinction between good and bad! 

He even lies and misquotes Leviticus 11, and says that pigs can be eaten because they are cloven-footed. But Torah says that even though pigs are cloven-footed, they are still not clean because they do not chew the cud! 

Leviticus 11:7 And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be cloven-footed, yet he chews not the cud; he is unclean to you. 

Listen to this blasphemy! 

His name is Mari (Mary) Emmanuel which means “Mary God is with us!”

In light of the events that are taking place with Israel being attacked by Iran, I believe that Daniel chapters 7 & 8 are about to take place right before our eyes! 

I believe that we shall soon see the RISE OF THE LITTLE HORN, which is the United States of America, under DONALD TRUMP! Please see this blog entitled: 


Also, see the YouTube Video: 


Can you imagine Trump returning to office just in time to defeat Iran on behalf of Israel? 

Or perhaps, Trump will add an addendum to his Abraham Accords (adding Iran to the peace agreement), thereby seeming to be THE MAN OF PEACE! 

The entire world will then WONDER AFTER THE BEAST, WHOSE DEADLY POLITICAL WOUND WILL BE HEALED! 




I believe that Trump is the He-Goat (like Alexander the Great) and the Grecian Empire is like America is right now! 

In Daniel 8, the Ram represents Medo-Persia, which is Modern-Day Iran. Right now, Donald Trump is being tried in court for his many indictments, just in time for Passover again! 

It’s just like last year during Passover, when he was arrested (supposedly) for his many crimes, and it was intended to make him look like the PERSECUTED MESSIAH! 

Well, I can see that Trump now has Subpoena Power to prove that Biden lost the 2020 SO-CALLED ELECTION! 

But it has all been fabricated by the Illuminati to propel TRUMP TO POWER! 

And what if Trump comes back WITHOUT AN ELECTION? 

What if Trump can prove that he has been the President all along, and he RISES FROM THE ASHES, just like the mystical bird called “The Phoenix?” 

*Hint: The Election Fraud results were being counted in Phoenix Arizona! Not a coincidence! 

Trump is the Phoenix, who will RISE FROM THE ASHES! Not only that, but during Passover, we will be able to see the Constellation of Aries the Ram above Jerusalem in the night sky (just like Josephus wrote in his Antiquities). 

And guess what? 

The Iranians commandeered a ship called “ARIES” THE RAM!

Will Damascus appear in the headlines in days to come? Will Damascus come to an end?

Are Passover & Unleavened Bread Celebrated on the Same Night?

By Maria Merola אריאל 
© Copyright Double Portion Inheritance, April 13th 2024
www.venmo.com@Maria-Merola

The English translators have caused great confusion, which is why so many of you seem to think that Passover & Unleavened Bread are the same feast on the same night.

As an example, Matthew 26:17 italicizes words in the King James Version, which changes the entire meaning of the text. Additionally, the Greek word for “FIRST” is “PROTOS,” which means “BEFORE.”

Matthew 26:17 Now the FIRST (PROTOS, BEFORE) [day of the feast] UNLEAVENED BREAD the disciples came to Yahuwshuwa, saying unto him, Where will you that we prepare for you to eat the Passover? 

In addition to the Greek word “FIRST” being defined as “BEFORE,” the context of the sentence tells us that Passover comes BEFORE Unleavened Bread (see Leviticus 23:4-7).

In Exodus 12:6, the phrase “Between the two evenings” had a different meaning in Egypt (before the Temple was established). It meant “Between the two sunsets” on the 14th of Abib.

If you dont believe me, just look up the meaning of the Hebrew word for “evening” (ereb), and you will see that it also means “to grow dusky at sundown.” 

In other words, there were TWO SUNSETS sandwiched in between the 13th & 15th of Abib (which was the 14th of Abib). 

Exodus 12:6 And you shall keep it [the lamb] UP UNTIL the fourteenth day of the same month: and the whole assembly of the congregation of Yisra’el shall kill it BETWEEN THE TWO EVENINGS [Beyn ha’abariym].

The phrase “UP UNTIL” in Hebrew means “AS FAR AS.” This means that Yisra’el was instructed to keep the lamb right up until the sun went down on the 13th of Abib, and that’s when the date changed to the 14th of Abib! 

After the Temple in Jerusalem was established, the phrase “Between the two evenings” meant “Between 12 noon and sundown.” Our Messiah died at 3:00 p.m. which was “Between the two evenings” according to Temple protocol.

Thus, our Messiah fulfilled both meanings of “Between the two evenings!” 

At the beginning of the 14th of Abib, he ATE THE PASSOVER with his disciples, which was the same time that Ancient Yisra’el ATE THE PASSOVER in Egypt! 

At the end of the 14th of Abib, his spirit DEPARTED, and his body was BURIED before sundown, (before the 15th of Abib), which was the Feast of Unleavened Bread (John 19:31). 

At the end of the 14th of Abib (going into the 15th of Abib), Yisra’el DEPARTED from Egypt “BY NIGHT,” as the Egyptians BURIED their dead (Exodus 12:42; Numbers 33:3; Deuteronomy 16:1). 

All four Gospels also corroborate this. 

Mark 14:1 After (Meta, in the midst of or in between) two days was [THE FEAST OF] PASSOVER AND [OFUNLEAVENED BREAD: and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might take him by craft, and put him to death. 

*Explanation: In Mark 14:1, the Greek word for AFTER” is is “META,” which means the following: “Amid, intermediate position in between; in the middle of.” 

In other words, the chief priests and scribes were expecting to arrest our Messiah IN THE MIDDLE OF THESE TWO DAYS OF PASSOVER & UNLEAVENED BREAD! 

You will also notice that the words The feast ofare italicized in the KJV,  which means the English translators added them into the text. Therefore, Mark 14:1 should read as follows:

Mark 14:1 In the midst of two days was Passover and Unleavened Bread: and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might take him by craft, and put him to death.

 *Explanation: At some point during those two days of Passover & Unleavened Bread, the chief priests and scribes had planned on arresting him. However, in Mark 14:2, they decided not to do it on the Feast of Unleavened Bread, since this was a High Sabbath.

Mark 14:2 But they said, Not on the feast [day], lest there be an uproar of the people. 

Mark also makes a point of separating Passover & Unleavened Bread, by using the word “AND” in between the words “Passover & Unleavened Bread,” indicating that these were two different days.

Additionally, Mark 14:2 says they decided not to arrest him on “the feast,” which means they did not want to arrest him on the Feast of Unleavened Bread (on the 15th of Abib). Therefore, they arrested him on Passover, which was the Preparation day (the 14th of Abib). 
 
Luke 22:1 Now THE FEAST OF UNLEAVENED BREAD drew near, which is called THE PASSOVER. 

*Explanation: Luke tells us that “The Feast of Unleavened Bread” is also called “Passover,” because there is “The Day of Passover” (on the 14th of Abib), and there is also “The Week of Passover,” which lasts for seven days, from the 15th – 21st day of the first month of Abib (Leviticus 23:4-8). 

John 13:1 Now BEFORE THE FEAST OF PASSOVER, when Yahuwshuwa knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end. 

*Explanation: The Apostle John uses the phrase “The Feast of Passover” rather than “The Day of Passover.” He was telling us that Messiah and his disciples ATE THE PASSOVER MEAL BEFORE the SEVEN-DAY FEAST of Unleavened Bread (also called the Feast of Passover). 

Thus, John 13:1 was describing “THE NIGHT OF PASSOVER” (on the 14th of Abib), rather than the “THE WEEK OF PASSOVER” aka “THE WEEK OF UNLEAVENED BREAD.”

Two Passovers?


The gospels appear to say that the Messiah ate a Passover meal with the twelve on the evening beginning Nisan 14, and John appears to say Jews were having their Passover meal one day later. There are different theories to explain this. The Sadducees and Pharisees disagreed on the day of Passover. The Sadducees (the more conservative group) believed the Feasts of Passover and Unleavened Bread were separate feast days. They held Passover on the fourteenth as Elohiym decreed in Exodus, Leviticus, and Numbers. 

Those of the majority opinion, including the Pharisees, held Passover on the fifteenth…Thousands of people would come to Jerusalem to have their lambs ritually slain in the Temple. If they only had one day in which to prepare for the Passover, it would have been extremely difficult to have slaughtered all the lambs brought in to be sacrificed. Therefore, they worked on two different time scales. 

The northern part of the kingdom slaughtered the Passover lambs at the beginning of the 14th of Abib. The southern part of the kingdom slaughtered the Passover lambs between 12 noon and 6:00 p.m., (late in the afternoon of the 14th of Abib). 

Thus, there were two times when lambs were being killed in the Temple for sacrifice----Sampson R & Pierce L. A Family Guide to the Biblical Holidays. Heart of Wisdom Publishing June 2001, p. 112. 

“The feast of Passover consists of two parts: The Passover ceremony and the Feast of Unleavened Bread. Originally, both parts existed separately; but at the beginning of the [Babylonian] exile they were combined” (vol. 13, p. 169).



In 1st Century Jerusalem, there were TWO EVENINGS for slaughtering lambs. But why? Some of you might think this is a violation of the Torah. However, consider this:

I believe YaHuWaH purposely designed Passover to be “Between the two evenings,” because he knew that in 1st Century Jerusalem, the two kingdoms would be divided, and thus, would've needed two evenings for slaughtering lambs. 

Also, YaHuWaH knew that our Messiah had to eat the Passover out of obedience to the Torah, so as not be “cut off from his people” (Exodus 12:15). He had to obey the Torah in every way, in order to be the spotless lamb without blemish (Exodus 12:5 & 1st Peter 1:19).

Please see these other blogs for a more in-depth understanding of the Two Evenings of Passover & Unleavened Bread:
