The RENEWED COVENANT of the OLD TESTAMENT: Michael Rood's Hebrew Roots Camp has it BACKWARDS !



There was indeed a RENEWED COVENANT between The ELOHIM and the people of GOD. It was the OLD Covenant  which was renewed every year at The PASSOVER during Old Testament times.
  The NEW COVENANT is
totally different .
Unfortunately, Mr. Rood's Chronological Gospels has it backwards . . .

" GOOD " WEDNESDAY







HOLY WEEK
in commemoration of
The Great --- and Final --- Passover
.
  CHRIST our Passover+
is sacrificed for us;
therefore, let us keep the feast.

not with old leaven,


neither with the leaven

of malice and wickedness;


but with the unleavened bread

of purity (Gk) and truth.

1 Corinthians 5:7,8
.
  .
The Crucifixion

... on "Good"  Wednesday
.

The LORD JESUS had sanctified the Bread and the Cup as His+ Body and Blood for the disciples.

.

HE+ had taken the Cup --- perhaps, His+ own Cup --- and passed it around at the Table, telling His+ disciples to divide it among themselves.

.

His+ prayers in the Garden of Gethsemane along with His+ first drops of blood, shed in agony, were finished.

.

The mockery of a trial by the unrighteous authorities, both civilian and religious, had been endured, along with the bruising dealt HIM+ by the goyim, the unclean.

.

Some more of His+ Blood was shed.

.

The crown of thorns pierced His+ brow.

.

More shedding of that Precious Blood.

.

Then the scourging, with leather whips embedded with metal and sharp objects, was administered by the men of war. At this point His+ Blood was flowing .  The skin on His+ backside was in tatters. Very likely His+ arms and legs felt the lash as well; the Romans were not known to be gentle.

.

And HE+ had not come to the Cross yet.

.

Crucifixion would have taken place ( on our Wednesday ) at the hour of the morning sacrifice in the Temple, the 3rd hour ... our 9 a.m. 

.


As the LAMB+ of GOD, the LORD JESUS CHRIST fulfilled the entire pattern presented to Israel in the Temple sacrifices, for they were precisely ordained of old for this reason exactly.

.

This Carpenter, this LAMB+ of GOD, had likely carried many a beam of wood hewn from the forest. Likely HE+ had walked many a mile in His+ 3.5 years of ministry. HE+ was hardy.

.

After His+ Agony, His+ bruisings, His+ scourging, The LAMB+ was so depleted of blood, of His+ natural strength, that HE+ could not carry the beam of His+ Cross and walk a mile.  It would seem HE+ had super-natural strength, though, or else medical shock would have set it.

.

Thus, they crucified the SON+ of GOD. All the unclean... the unclean goyim...  the unclean religious leaders ... the unclean public who cried with insatiable lust for blood:

.
" Crucify HIM+ ! "
" Crucify HIM+ ! "
  .
HE+ Who+ showed mercy, had none given to HIM+.

.


  .
Thus, at 9 a.m., mid-week, the day before a High Holy Sabbath, they crucified our LORD JESUS CHRIST at the time of the morning sacrifice in the Temple.

.

His+ words recorded were:

.
" FATHER,
forgive them,
for they know not
what they do."
..
Do we suppose The FATHER answered this prayer ?

.


At noon, the 6th hour, the world went dark. It was a darkness which could be felt and NO... it was NOT an eclipse. None had been recorded by the astronomers. Only darkness was recorded as HE+ endured the agonies of the Cross.

.

The world is going to go dark again soon as we prepare for His+ return to planet earth and this time, with a DIVINE ROD of IRON.

.
The Agony of the Cross 
.
Let's look at some of it. It is written that every muscle in the body of a crucified victim locks into a muscle spasm. We call them "a charlie horse." 
.
Normally, it is only one painful muscle which tightens and locks. Normally, it is over in minutes. HIS+ lasted hours, and there was no pulling out of them. It affected His+ entire body.

.

Then, at the 9th hour ... 3 p.m. our time ... HE+ said,
.
" It is finished, FATHER;
into Thy Hands
I+ commend My+ Spirit."
.
As HE+ gave the sop to Judas at the Table, the LORD JESUS  gave permission to be crucified to the Unclean. HE+ set in motion the final act to do His+ Heavenly FATHER'S will, a plan that was agreed upon before the foundation of the earth,  Revelation 13:8.
.
HE+ did the Will of The FATHER
to bring many sons to HIM.
.

As it is written: 

 For it became HIM, 
for Whom are all things, 
and by Whom are all things, 

in bringing many sons unto glory, 
to make 
the Captain+ of their Salvation 
perfect through sufferings. 
Hebrews 2:10
.
The count-down of three days and three nights HE+ would spend in the heart of the earth began.

.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT:
.
Night one
in the heart
of the earth.
+ + +
.
Worthy is the LAMB+
that was slain
from the foundation 
of the world.

The FIRST Supper... The LAST Passover+







HOLY WEEK
in commemoration of
The Great --- and Final --- Passover


CHRIST our Passover+
is sacrificed for us;
therefore, let us keep the feast.
not with old leaven,


neither with the leaven
of malice and wickedness;


but with the unleavened bread
of purity (Gk) and truth.
1 Corinthians 5:7,8

+  +  +
The FIRST Supper


The disciples made ready the Passover for The LORD and His+ disciples to eat.  It was indeed the LAST Passover The LORD JESUS would eat.


However, for the disciples, it was their FIRST Supper, their first Communion with the Body and Blood of The LORD CHRIST. 


At this time, The LORD instituted His+ Holy Communion, or as the Early Christians called it, the GREAT THANKSGIVING , the Eucharist ( GK ). 


From Matthew's account, chapter 26:


And as they were eating, JESUS took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said,


Take, eat; 
this is My+ body.


And HE+ took the Cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying,


Drink ye all of it;
For this is My+ Blood
of the New Covenant,


Which is shed for many
for the remission of sins.
.
From Mark 14:

Take, eat: 
this is My+ Body.


And HE+ took the Cup, and when HE+ had given thanks, HE+ gave it to them: and they all drank of it.


This is My+ Blood
of the New Covenant,
Which is shed for many.


And from Luke 22:
.

And HE+ took the Cup, and gave thanks, and said,


Take this, 
and divide it 
among yourselves:


For I+ say unto you, I+ will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the Kingdom of GOD shall come.


 And HE+ took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying,


This is My+ Body 
which is given for you:
this do in remembrance of ME+.


Likewise also 
the cup after supper
saying,


This Cup is the New Covenant
in My+ Blood,
Which is shed for you.


But, behold, the hand of him that betrayeth ME+ is with ME+ on the table.
+  +  +


Thus, HE+ gave them their FIRST Communion at the LAST and Final Passover.


This Final Passover was no mere "remembrance."  No. It was the actual thing which GOD had prepared for His+ people all along.


During any ACTUAL Passover which is NOT a mere remembrance, there must be blood shed to cover us so that we are not destroyed with the unbelievers. The blood COVERS the sinner who has repented before GOD.  

( Heb. = kippor = covering, or, Gk = hilasterion, a Divine lid covering the Ark of the Covenant )


In one sense, GOD performed a precursor to the first Passover when HE slew animals to COVER Adam and Eve's nakedness, Genesis 3:21.


Did HE also cover their sin that day, so that the satan could not destroy them? The satan was certainly upon earth at that time because through his wiles, Adam and Eve brought sin into the entire Adamic race of men.  


Some say the animals slain for their coverings were Lambs. It could have been, but Scripture is silent on this. No blood had been shed on planet earth before that time. 


No blood at all,
of either animal or man. 


Would that HE+ would return
and restore planet earth
to that pristine state !


Thus, as our LORD prepared to enter into GETHSEMANE's garden after eating the Passover Meal, HE+ prepared His+ disciples with His+ Body and Blood to face their battle of great fear, horrifying doubt, and immense sorrow that would soon follow. 


Gethsemane, a word from the Chaldean / Aramaic language, was the place for pressing out oil by crushing the olives. Somehow, the "gath" root of this word also means a treading of grapes to produce wine.


Both meanings show us Whose+ Life was being crushed, treaded down, and wrung out  during this Final Passover night in the garden of "Gethsemane."


From Luke 22:

Saying, FATHER, if THOU be willing,
remove this cup from ME+:


nevertheless not My+ will,
but Thine, be done.


And there appeared
an angel unto HIM+ from Heaven,
strengthening HIM+.***



And being in an Agony
HE+ prayed more earnestly:


and His+ sweat was
as it were great drops of blood
falling down to the ground.***


+  +  +

For even
CHRIST our Passover+
is sacrificed for us:

*** Modern versions have removed those last two verses from their Bibles, which is totally unjustified editing. Those Bibles are faulty and not to be trusted as the ACCURATE Word of GOD.
