Happy Passover! - As we prepare for Passover we here at Tsiyon are thinking about you, and the promise of Passover that we will all soon be celebrating. Freedom, friends. Passover is about real freedom. Soon YHWH will be setting the remnant of Israel free from servitude to the nations, to return to our Land, to live in peace and freedom there. We are releasing our program and newsletter today, a day early, in honor of Passover, because it lifts up this message of the Second Exodus just ahead, when we will pass from exile as a people, over to, our Land.  It's all going to happen again friends. In the first Exodus our fathers were set free from servitude to Egypt by a mighty Hand. In the Second Exodus we, with ears to hear, shall be set free from servitude to all the nations where we have been scattered and we will be re-gathered as a people, back to our Land - in a far greater miracle than even that first Exodus. This is the promise of Passover to the faithful remnant of Israel. It is your promise. Embrace that promise with all your heart this Passover season.

Listener Comment - Where is Amalek?
Please, where did the evil tribe of Amalek disappear? (Mt 12:8). 

Listener Comment - Where is Amalek?
I did a little research on this and found the following quote:

The Amalekites left Arabia after being devastated by the same plagues that struck Egypt. After their defeat at the hands of the escaping Israelites, they streamed across the Sinai to Egypt where they met little or no opposition due to the destruction of the Egyptian army in the Gulf of Aqaba. Once entrenched in their new domain they became known as the Hyksos or Amu of the Egyptian inscriptions.

They ruled the conquered land in such a barbarous fashion that they were COMPLETELY IGNORED in the Egyptian king lists at Abydos. This huge gap in the testimony of the Egyptian monuments is explained by the fact that the succeeding native Egyptian dynasty diligently set about obliterating every remembrance of the hated Amalekite foreigners who had ravaged the country for so long.

For almost 500 years the land was plunged into a sudden darkness that seemed all the more impenetrable because of the glorious heights the 12th Dynasty of Egypt had achieved through the brilliance and labor of the Israelites.

Modern historians, however, because of chron-ologies that are 500 years out of sync with that of ancient Israel, fail to connect the Hyksos with the Amalekites of the Bible. Innumerable theories come and go as historians grope about in their own "darkness" -- a situation that need never have occurred if only the Bible was accepted as a historical book, and the traditions of the nations of the Middle East were accepted as having a basis in truth.

From Eliyahu

Remnant people entering into Passover for the first time often ask me how it should be celebrated. They sometimes worry that they do not know the Jewish customs of Passover, so may get it "wrong." No worries, friends. You don't have to know even one Jewish custom to enjoy a wonderful and meaningful Passover. Exodus 12 tells us about the first Passover and how it was to be kept at that time. It required the blood of a perfect Lamb. In case you are worried about sacrificing a Lamb, don't be. Messiah took care of that for you 2,000 years ago with a sacrifice that is good for all time! He is our Passover Lamb, whose blood was shed for us. Since then, Passover is not only a commemoration of our being set free from Egypt, and a prophetic celebration of the Second Exodus yet to come - above all it is a memorial celebration of our Passover Lamb and the freedom from sin and death that He won for us, as part of the Renewed Covenant ratified by His own blood. As you partake of your Passover meal remember Him and his body broken for you, and His blood poured out for you, and in that memorial of His death you will enter into the true spirit of Passover. Israel, be blessed as you remember and honor Him! (Matt 26, Mark 14, Luke 22, Jn 1:29, 1 Cor 5:7, Rev 1:5)

Shalom,

Eliyahu ben David
