Shadowland: Redemption

Shadowland: Redemption: Week 13

The Daily Sacrifice

Pink and many other commentators assert that Jesus was crucified at the time the passover lambs were killed. Like the alleged 400 years in Egypt, the text contradicts this. E.g. Mark 14:12 and Luke 22:7 explicitly say the disciples prepared the Passover meal the day before the crucifixion. What did happen at the 9th hour (3 pm) when Jesus dies, according to the Talmud (written by the Pharisees doing it), Josephus, and Phio, was the the Daily Sacrifice prescribed in Number 28:4. The liturgy at the daily offering was the Eighteen Benedictions, which included:

"You, O Lord, are mighty forever, you revive the dead, you have the power to save. You sustain the living with lovingkindness, you revive the dead with great mercy, you support the falling, heal the sick, set free the bound and keep faith with those who sleep in the dust... Who resembles you, a king who puts to death and restores to life, and causes salvation to flourish? And you are certain to revive the dead. Blessed are you, O Lord, who revives the dead." (2nd Benediction)
"Forgive us, O our Father, for we have sinned; pardon us, O our King, for we have transgressed; for you pardon and forgive. Blessed are you, O Lord, who is merciful and always ready to forgive." (6th Benediction)
"Look upon our affliction and plead our cause,and redeem us speedily for your name's sake, for you are a mighty redeemer. Blessed are you, O Lord, the redeemer of Israel." (7th Benediction)
"Speedily cause the offspring of your servant David to flourish, and let him be exalted by your saving power, for we wait all day long for your salvation. Blessed are you, O Lord, who causes salvation to flourish." (15th Benediction)

Their prayers were being fulfilled as they spoke them. Thanks to Brant Pitre for noting this.

Exodus 14

The Red Sea

14:2 From Rameses, it is about 5 miles to Succoth in Egypt, 5 miles to Etham, and 10 miles to Pi Hahiroth. They left Rameses early Friday morning (Exodus 12:31), and arrived at Pi Hahiroth opposite Baal-zephon late Saturday.
14:4 "the Egyptians will know that I am the Lord" - and by extension, all the world, as Egypt is a type of the world. Joshua 2:10.
14:11 "no graves in Egypt" - there were indeed no graves in Egypt. They had all been used in haste as plague graves by the Egyptians.
14:13 "stand still" - as Pharaoh could see, their own efforts were futile.
14:21 the crossing took all night
14:22 "and the Israelites went through the sea on dry ground" - "by faith the people passed through the Red Sea" Hebrews 11:29. Since it was by faith, it is implied that the sea did not open all the way across so they could see their way. For Joshua, the Jordan did not open up until the priests set foot in the water. Joshua 3:13.
14:24 "last watch of the night" - early Sunday morning. Passing through the water is a type of death. Through death, He broke the power of him who had the power of death. Hebrews 2:14-15 This was no longer a 3 day excursion. The Israelites were free.
