There is a great deal of confusion floating around about the timing of the killing of the lambs, and because of this confusion, it can impact how we relate to every other part of the day.
I endeavour to back up every statement I make with scripture. This book will be no different. I know the only place I will find the truth that I am seeking is in the word of God, in His holy Bible. This means the entire Bible, both the old and the new testaments. These facts are made clear to us in the following scriptures.
Joh 17:17 Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth.
2Ti 3:16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness.
Sanctify Them
All the evidence I bring before you in this book will be strictly from the word of God. I do not intend to reference the work of any other book, any Rabbi, any bible society or anything else. Only the word of God. If I mention any of the above, it will not be to back up what I am saying but more than likely to call them out for using the traditions of men and not the traditions of God. The proof of what I am going to tell you will be 100% from the word of God. I need no other proof.
You will no doubt call me dogmatic, but I ask you this: “Were the apostles dogmatic when they preached, or were they timid?” Let’s look at 2Ti 1:7.
2Ti 1:7 For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love, and self-discipline.
If I have a truth and do not share it with you, then I am doing you all a major disservice. Therefore, I will follow in the footsteps of the Apostles and speak with confidence that I am speaking the truth.
What is that saying?
“It is better to act decisively and apologise for it later, rather than to seek approval to act, and risk delay.”
Passover
So with those thoughts in mind, I would like to discuss the Passover and the timing of the killing of the lambs on the 14th of Nisan.
First, let me apologise to those readers who do not research Hebrew terms such as “ba erev” and “ben ha arbayim”. Unfortunately, it is imperative we understand exactly what these terms mean if we are going to arrive at the correct time the lambs were killed on the 14th of Nisan.
