The Plan of Salvation of

our Almighty only God
YHVH-Jehovah Creator

of the heavens and the earth

Why?

The Blood of Jesus Christ has Power,

And almost all things are by the law purged with blood;

and without shedding of blood is no remission.

Hebrews 9:22

What does the expression mean?
"The Blood of Jesus Christ Has Power"

For the law (Torah) having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.  For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins.  But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year.  For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.

Wherefore when JESUS of Nazareth come into the world, he said, Sacrifice and offering You wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me:  in burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure.  Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O YHVH-Jehovah God. 
Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither had pleasure therein; which are offered by the law; then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second. 

 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of

Jesus Christ once for all.

The Plan of Salvation of

our Almighty only God
YHVH-Jehovah Creator

of the heavens and the earth

*Who are part of the new Covenant?

*Who has the right to eat bread and drink wine according to the Law (Torah)?

*Who has the hope of eternal life?

*How can we be sure that we are part of the beloved children of YHVH-Jehovah, creator of the heavens and the earth?

In the Bible: In the Letter to the Romans
It's written:

For what was impossible for the law (Torah), in that it was weak through the flesh, YHVH-Jehovah Almighty only God did. By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and concerning sin, he condemned sin in the flesh, in order that the requirement of the law (Torah) would be fulfilled in us, who do not live according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.  For those who are living according to the flesh are intent on the things of the flesh, but those who are living according to the Spirit are intent on the things of the Spirit. For the mind set of the flesh is death, but the mindset of the Spirit is life and peace, because the mindset of the flesh is enmity toward YHVH-Jehovah Almighty only God, for it is not subjected to the law(Torah) of YHVH-Jehovah God, for it is not able to do so, and those who are in the flesh are not able to please YHVH-Jehovah Almighty only God.

But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of YHVH-Jehovah Almighty God lives in you. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Jesus Christ, this person does not belong to him. But if Jesus Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. And if the Spirit of the one who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you, the one who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also make alive your mortal bodies through his Spirit who lives in you.

So then, brothers, we are obligated not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. For if you live according to the flesh, you are going to die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For all those who are led by the Spirit of YHVH-Jehovah Almighty only God, these are sons of YHVH-Jehovah Almighty God.  For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading to fear again, but you have received the Spirit of adoption, by whom we cry out, “Abba! Father!” 

"The Spirit himself confirms to our spirit that we are children of YHVH-Jehovah Almighty

only God".

Bread and wine are symbols

"The bread represents the perfect body of Jesus of Nazareth". Jesus used a loaf of bread left over from the Passover meal, made without yeast or yeast of any kind.

"And they will eat the meat on this night;

they will eat it fire-roasted and with unleavened bread on bitter herbs".

Exodus 12: 8.

The red wine represents the blood of Jesus, the sign valid before the new covenant. Jesus indicated that he would shed his blood "for the remission of sins".
Thanks to the blood that Jesus of Nazareth shed on the cross, human beings who Repent and Return to follow the commandments of the Son of God, are pure in the eyes of YHVH-Jehovah and enter into the new covenant with Jesus Christ, the Lamb Sacrificed, the only son of man dignified to stand In front of the great throne.

"Christ Jesus has arrived as a high priest of the good things to come. Through the greater and more perfect tent not made by hands, that is, not of this creation,  and not by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood, he entered once for all into the most holy place, obtaining eternal redemption.  For if the blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a young cow sprinkled on those who are defiled sanctify them for the ritual purity of the flesh, how much more will the blood of Jesus Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to YHVH-Jehovah only God, cleanse our consciences from dead works to serve the King YHVH-Jehovah living God?

And because of this, Jesus is the mediator of a new covenant, in order that, because a death has taken place for the redemption of transgressions committed during the first covenant, those who are the called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance. For where there is a will, it is a necessity for the death of the one who made the will to be established. For a will is in force concerning those who are dead, since it is never in force when the one who made the will is alive. Therefore not even the first covenant was ratified without blood.  For when every commandment had been spoken by Moses to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves with water and scarlet wool and hyssop and sprinkled both the scroll itself and all the people, saying,

“This is the blood of the covenant that

YHVH-Jehovah Almighty God

has commanded for you”

(Exodus 24:8)

And likewise he sprinkled both the tabernacle and all the utensils of service with the blood.  Indeed, nearly everything is purified with blood according to the law, and apart from the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness. Therefore it was necessary for the sketches of the things in heaven to be purified with these sacrifices, but the heavenly things themselves to be purified with better sacrifices than these.  For Jesus Christ did not enter into a sanctuary made by hands, a mere copy of the true one, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of YHVH-Jehovah only Almighty God on our behalf,  and not in order that he can offer himself many times, as the high priest enters into the sanctuary year by year with blood not his own, since it would have been necessary for him to suffer many times from the foundation of the world, but now he has appeared once at the end of the ages for the removal of sin by the sacrifice of himself.  And just as it is destined for people to die once, and after this, judgment, thus also Jesus Christ, having been offered once in order to bear the sins of many, will appear for the second time without reference to sin to those who eagerly await him for salvation.

Christians have been commanded to celebrate the commemoration of

the death of Jesus Christ,

which is also called

"The Lord's Supper"

Why is this act so important?

When and how should it be done?

Jesus Christ established this celebration on the night of the Jewish Passover of the year 33 of our era. Passover was a feast that took place only once a year, the 14th day of Aviv (nisan: month of the Jewish calendar). The month of Nisan (Aviv) begins when first appears the new moon on  closest to the spring equinox. The day of Passover begins fourteen days later, after sunset.

That night, Jesus celebrated the Passover with his apostles, dismissed Judas Iscariot and then established the Lord's Supper.

This meal replaced Jewish Passover and, for that reason, should be celebrated only once a year.

The Lord’s Supper

"Now while they were eating Jesus took bread and, after[b] giving thanks, he broke it, and giving it to the disciples, he said, “Take, eat, this is my body.”
And after taking the cup and giving thanks he gave it[f] to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you, for this is my blood of the covenant which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins".

Why Jesus of Nazareth is

the Lamb sacrificed?

And the Almighty God Creator of heavens and earth YHVH-יחוח spoke unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying,  "This month (Aviv) shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you".

Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, 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 for an house:  and if the household be too little for the lamb, let him and his neighbour next unto his house take it according to the number of the souls; every man according to his eating shall make your count for the lamb.

Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year: ye shall take it out from the sheep, or from the goats:  and ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month (Thursday Maundy): and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening.

And they shall take of the blood, and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses, wherein they shall eat it.

And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt. And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall keep it a feast to the YHVH-יחוח- Almighty only God throughout your generations; ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance for ever.

History of Easter or Passover/Pesaj

Easter/ Passover o Pesaj is the oldest and most important feast of the 12 tribes of Israel (Children of Jacob). Easter/Passover in the Hebrew Pesaj means "to pass" or "To transit".

Now before the feast of Passover, Jesus, knowing that his hour had come that he would depart from this world to the Father, and having loved his own in the world, loved them to the end.

John 13:1

The Passover or Pesaj was celebrated with a meal, a family feast, being the Lamb the basic plate (sign of the compassion of YHVH God Almighty Creator), unleavened bread, bitter herbs (slavery) and red sauce (forced labor in Egypt).

The story of the Exodus relates,

"This day you are going out

in the month of the Aviv"

(Ex 13:4).

"Keep the month of the Aviv and make the Passover (sacrifice) to YeHoVaH your God at night, because in the month of the Aviv, YeHoVaH  your Almighty God took you out of Egypt".

(Deuteronomy 16:1)

Jesus’ Final Passover with the Disciples

And the day of the feast of Unleavened Bread came, on which it was necessary for the Passover lamb to be sacrificed. And he sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and prepare the Passover for us, so that we may eat it. So they said to him, “Where do you want us to prepare it? And he said to them, “Behold, when you have entered into the city, a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him into the house which he enters. And you will say to the master of the house, ‘The Teacher says to you, “Where is the guest room where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?  And he will show you a large furnished upstairs room. Make preparations there”.  So they went and found everything just as he had told them, and they prepared the Passover.

And when the hour came, he reclined at the table, and the apostles with him. And he said to them, “I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. For I tell you that I will not eat it until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of Almighty God.” And he took in hand a cup, and after giving thanks he said, “Take this and share it among yourselves. For I tell you, from now on I will not drink of the product of the vine until the kingdom of Almighty God comes”.

And he took bread, and after giving thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me”.  And in the same way the cup after they had eaten, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood which is poured out for you.
 “But behold, the hand of the one who is betraying me is with me on the table! For the Son of Man (Descendants of Adam) is going according to what has been determined, but woe to that man by whom he is betrayed!

Luke 22:7-22

Can Christians celebrate the Biblical Holidays?

The Plan of God Almighty
YHVH-Jehovah Creator of the heavens and the earth

“No stranger shall ea the votive offering; nor shall a temporary resident with the Priest or a hired worker eat the votive offering. But the Priest, if with his money he buys a person as his possession, that one may eat it, and the descendants of his house themselves may eat his food".

Leviticus 22:10-11

For every high priest taken from among men is appointed on behalf of people in the things relating to YHVH Almighty only God, in order that he can offer both gifts and sacrifices on behalf of sins, being able to deal gently with those who are ignorant and led astray, since he himself also is surrounded by weakness, and because of it he is obligated to offer sacrifices for sins for himself also, as well as for the people. And someone does not take for himself the honor, but is called by YHVH Almighty only God, just as Aaron also was. Thus also Christ Jesus did not glorify himself to become high priest, but the one who said to him,

“You are my Son,

today I have begotten you",

just as also in another place he says,

“You are a Priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek", 

who in the days of his flesh offered up both prayers and supplications, with loud crying and tears, to the one who was able to save him from death, and he was heard as a result of his reverence. Although he was a son, he learned obedience from what he suffered, and being perfected, he became the source of eternal salvation to all those who obey him, being designated by YHVH Almighty only God a high priest according to the order of Melchizedek.

*Biblical festivals already fulfilled

Easter, Passover (Pesaj) , the unleavened breads (Hag HaMatzah), the first fruits (Bikkurim) and Pentecost (Shavuot) , teach us mainly about the most significant events of the first coming of the Messiah and the reason why the Events Are an important part of the divine redemption of man before YHVH Almighty God alone.

*Next Biblical festivals yet to be fulfilled

The  three last feasts, which are the Feast of Trumpets (Yom Teruah or Rosh HaShanah), the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur) , and the Feast of Tents (Sukkot) At the Second Coming of the Messiah (Mashíaj).

The Plan of God Almighty
YHVH-Jehovah

Which are the biblical festivals?

YHVH' Feasts: then YHVH Almighty only God spoke to Moses, saying:

“Speak to the Israelites, and say to them, ‘The festivals of YHVH Almighty that you shall proclaim are holy assemblies; these are my appointed times.

Sabbath/שַׁבָּת

“For six days work is to be done, and on the seventh day shall be a Sabbath of complete rest, a holy assembly; you shall not do any work; it shall be a Sabbath for YHVH in all your dwellings".

The Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread come at the beginning of the spring barley harvest.

Easter/Passover:

“These are YHVH's appointed times, holy assemblies, which you shall proclaim at their appointed time. In the first month, on the fourteenth of the month at the evening is YHVH’s Passover. And on the fifteenth day of this month is YHVH’s Feast of Unleavened Bread; for seven days you shall eat unleavened bread. On the first day there shall be a holy assembly for you; you shall not do any regular work. And you shall present an offering for YHVH made by fire for seven days; on the seventh day there shall be a holy assembly; you shall not do any regular work".

The Feast of First fruits:

Then YHVH Almighty only God spoke to Moses, saying,  “Speak to the Israelites, and say to them, ‘When you come to the land that I am about to give to you and you reap its harvest, then you shall bring a sheaf of the first fruit of your harvest to the priest.  And he shall wave the sheaf before YHVH for your acceptance; the priest shall wave it on the day after the Sabbath. And on the day of your waving the sheaf you shall offer a yearling male lamb without defect as a burnt offering to YHVH. And its grain offering shall be two-tenths of an ephah of finely milled flour mixed with oil, an offering made by fire for YHVH, an appeasing fragrance; and its libation shall be a fourth of a hin of wine. And you shall not eat bread or roasted grain or ripe grain until this very same day, until you present your Almighty God’s offering.

This must be a lasting statute for your generations in all your dwellings.

The Feast of Weeks/Pentecost:

“And you shall count for yourselves from the day after the Sabbath, from the day of your bringing the wave offering’s sheaf—there shall be seven full weeks. Until the day after the seventh Sabbath you shall count fifty days; then you shall present a new grain offering for YHVH Almighty only God. You shall bring from your dwellings for a wave offering two loaves of bread made with two-tenths of an ephah of finely milled flour; they must be baked with leaven—the first fruits belonging to YHVH Almighty. And, in addition to the bread, you shall present seven yearling male lambs without defects and one young bull and two rams—they shall be a burnt offering for YHVH Almighty with their grain offering and their libations, an offering made by fire, an appeasing fragrance for YHVH. And you shall offer one he-goat as a sin offering and two yearling male lambs as a sacrifice of fellowship offerings. And the priest shall wave them with the bread of the first fruits as a wave offering before YHVH Almighty only God; in addition to the two male lambs, they shall be holy for YHVH for the priest. And you shall make a proclamation on this very same day; it shall be a holy assembly for you; you shall not do any regular work; this is a lasting statute in all your dwellings throughout your generations. And when you reap the harvest of your land, you[am] must not finish the edge of your field at your reaping, and you must not glean the remnants of your harvest—you shall leave them behind for the needy and for the alien; I am YHVH your Almighty God".

The Feast of Trumpets:

Then YHVH Almighty only God spoke to Moses, saying, “Speak to the Israelites, saying, ‘In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you must have a rest period, a remembrance of the trumpet blast, a holy assembly. You must not do any regular work, and you shall present an offering made by fire to YHVH Almighty”.

The Day of Atonement:

Then YHVH Almighty only God spoke to Moses, saying,  “Surely the Day of Atonement is on the tenth day of the seventh month; it shall be a holy assembly for you, and you shall deny yourselves, and you shall present an offering made by fire to YHVH Almighty. And you must not do any regular work on this very same day, because it is the Day of Atonement to make atonement for you before YHVH Almighty your God. If there is any person who does not deny himself on this very same day, then he shall be cut off from his people. As for any person who does any work on this very same day, I will exterminate that person from the midst of his people. You must not do any work; it is a lasting statute throughout your generations in all your dwellings. It is a Sabbath of complete rest for you, and you shall deny yourselves on the ninth day of the month in the evening—from evening to evening you must observe your extraordinary Sabbath”.

The Feast of Booths or Tabernacle:

Then YHVH Almighty only God spoke to Moses, saying,  “Speak to the Israelites, saying, ‘On the fifteenth day of the seventh month, this shall be the Feast of Booths for seven days for YHVH Almighty. On the first day there shall be a holy assembly; you must not do any regular work. For seven days you must present an offering made by fire to YHVH Almighty . On the eighth day it shall be a holy assembly for you, and you shall present an offering made by fire to YHVH Almighty; it is a celebration; you must not do any regular work.
