The Passover is the Seal of God 1 [Christ Ahnsahnghong, Heavenly Mother, God the Mother, World Mission Society Church of God]

1 Corinthians 5:7 — Get rid of the old yeast that yo may be a new batch without yeast — as you really are. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed. Therefore let us keep the Festival…

in Hebrews 11:28, it is written, “By faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of blood, so that the destroyer of the firstborn would not touch the firstborn of Israel.” This means that no destructive plague was brought upon the houses where the blood of the Passover lamb was sprinkled because it was a sign for them.

It was in 586 B.C. that Jerusalem was about to be devastated and Judah was about to be destroyed by Babylon’s attack. The prophet Jeremiah proclaimed the reason for the destruction of Judah as follows:

Jeremiah 11:1-4 — This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD: “Listen to the terms of ths covenant and tell them to the people of Judah and to those who live in Jerusalem. Tell them that this is what the LORD, the God if Israel, says: ‘Cursed is the man who does not obey the terms of this covenant — the terms I commanded your forefathers when I brought them out of Egypt, out the iron-smelting furnace.’ I said, ‘Obey me and od everything I command you, and you will be my people, and I will be your God.’”

It was on the day of the Passover that God brought them out of Egypt, the covenant God declared on that day was the Passover. The Israelites did not listen to what Jeremiah testified about, so they were invaded by Babylon and destroyed. In regard to this, Jeremiah testified again as follows.

Jeremiah 16:10-11 — “When you tell these people all this and they ask you, ‘Why has the LORD decreed such a great disaster against us? What wrong have we done? What sin have we committed against the LORD our God?’ then say to them, ‘It is because your fathers forsook me,’ declares the LORD, ‘and followed other gods and served and worshiped them. They forsook me and did not keep my law.’”

The law the Israelites forsook at that time was the Passover and therefore worshiped other gods. In the same way the Bible warns through Isaiah that the world would perish because the people broke the everlasting covenant:

Isaiah 24:1-5 — See, the LORD is going to lay waste the earth and devastate it; he will ruin its face and scatter its inhabitants- it will be the same for priest as for people…The earth will be completely lad waste and totally plundered. The LORD has spoken this word. The earth dries up and withers, the world languishes and withers, the exalted of the earth languish. The earth is defiled by its people; they have disobeyed the laws, violated the statues and broken the everlasting covenant. Therefore a curse consumes the earth; its people must bear their guilt. Therefore earth’s inhabitants are burned up, and very few are left.

If the breaking of the everlasting covenant is the reason why people are being destroyed, then those very few that are going to be left, will be left because they keep the everlasting covenant. Then what is the everlasting covenant? let us see:

Hebrews 13:20 — May the God of peace, who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of Sheep,…

according to the scriptures, the eternal or everlasting covenant (both mean forever) has been established through blood. Then what is the only covenant in the bible established through blood and involving Jesus Christ?

Luke 22:13, 19-20 – They left and found things just as Jesus had told them. So they prepared for the Passover… And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.” In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.

The Passover of the new covenant is the everlasting covenant that will let us be protected in the last days. As it was from its origins, Passover is the way for plagues to “Pass-over” us, therefore it is the Seal of God
