'Few are those who see with their own eyes and feel with their own hearts' - Albert Einstein

We have 4 accounts of various aspects of the Last supper. In this section we are not going to look at the second meaning of these accounts here. We are just going to piece them together to find our what precisely happened at the last supper in the literal meaning. Although of course it was a very symbolic celebration! We list the 4 accounts and then we put the Jigsaw together paying attention to every single word (using the Greek on occasion). Because when Jesus said:

17 Indeed, it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one particle of a letter of the Law to go unfulfilled (Luke 16).

We believe he meant it. We also know that God's law is the whole bible. We realise that every letter in the holy book is chosen by a God who is actually more intelligent than us and has no particular difficulty in expressing himself in a literary form either in Hebrew or in Greek having invented both of these languages along with a multitude of others in a split second during the days of the tower of Babel, some 4000 years ago. Perhaps the best way to do this is to get 4 large print bibles and open them at Matthew 26, Mark14, Luke 22 and John 13?

Again we do not view the various discrepancies between the accounts as mere journalistic viewpoints, as if God has an editorial capability that is somewhat less impressive than that of the New York Times (which would not be hard). We view them as the perfect words of a perfect God. And we grapple with them in our imperfection.

20 When, now, it had become evening, he was reclining at the table with the 12 disciples.
21 While they were eating, he said: Truly I say to you, One of you will betray me.
22 Being very much grieved at this, they commenced each and every one to say to him: Lord, it is not I, is it?
23 In reply he said: He that dips his hand with me in the bowl is the one that will betray me.
24 True, the Son of man is going away, just as it is written concerning him, but woe to that man through whom the Son of man is betrayed! It would have been finer for him if that man had not been born.
25 By way of reply Judas, who was about to betray him, said: It is not I, is it, Rabbi? He said to him: You yourself said [it].
26 As they continued eating, Jesus took a loaf and, after saying a blessing, he broke it and, giving it to the disciples, he said: take, eat. This is my body [Jesus' human body, the validation sacrifice for the 1AC].
27 Also, he took a cup [of the 1AC] and, having given thanks, he gave it to them, saying: Drink out of it, all of you;
28 for this is my 'blood of the covenant,' which is to be poured out in behalf of many [not just 144,000] for forgiveness of sins.
29 But I tell you, I will by no means drink henceforth any of this product of the vine [the cup of the 1AC, the vine is the whole salvation plan, with 3 branches, being the 3 salvation covenants, since we all end up in the ARC or in Gehenna. We are all eventually saved by Jesus. All branches end up in the root which is him. "Furthermore, there is no salvation in anyone else, for there is not another name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must get saved" Acts 4:12] until that day when I drink it new with you [plural] in the kingdom of my Father.
30 Finally, after singing praises, they went out to the Mount of Olives (Matthew 26).

17 After evening had fallen he came with the 12.
18 And as they were reclining at the table and eating, Jesus said: Truly I say to you, One of you, who is eating with me, will betray me.
19 They started to be grieved and to say to him one by one: It is not I, is it?
20 He said to them: It is one of the 12, who is dipping with me into the common bowl.
21 True, the Son of man is going away, just as it is written concerning him, but woe to that man through whom the Son of man is betrayed! It would have been finer for that man if he had not been born.
22 And as they continued eating, he took a loaf [of the 1AC], said a blessing, broke it and gave it to them, and said: Take it, this is my body.
23 And taking a cup [of the 1AC], he offered thanks and gave it to them, and they all drank out of it.
24 And he said to them: This is my 'blood of the covenant,' which is to be poured out in behalf of many [not just 144,000].
25 Truly I say to you, I shall by no means drink anymore of the product of the vine [of the entire salvation plan. This is the cup of the ARC] until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God [not said to be with you].
26 Finally, after singing praises, they went out to the Mount of Olives (Mark 14)

12 And that [man] will show you a large upper room [for heavenly kings as opposed to earthly kings] furnished. Get [it] ready there.
13 So they departed and found it just as he had said to them, and they got the passover ready.
14 At length when the hour came, he reclined at the table, and the apostles with him.
15 And he said to them: I have greatly desired to eat this passover [meal of lamb and unleavened bread and bitter greens and the 4 loaves of the 4 covenants] with you before I suffer;
16 for I tell you, I will not eat it again until it becomes completed [plhrwqh] [celebrated fully] in the kingdom of God [which must be before I arrive on earth in Kingdom glory on 2008Sivan6, 7 days after the sign of the son of man at the end of the 1335 days of Daniel 12 - see 1 Corinthians 11:26].
17 And, accepting a cup [the 1st cup of the FRC], he gave thanks and said: Take this and pass it from one to the other among yourselves;
18 for I tell you, From now on I will not drink again from the product of the vine [of the entire salvation plan. This is the cup of the ARC] until the kingdom of God arrives.
19 Also, he took a loaf, gave thanks, broke it, and gave it to them, saying: This is my body [of the ARC] which is to be given in your behalf [not many but you]. Keep doing this in remembrance of me [keep giving thanks for, breaking and eating the loaf of the ARC in remembrance of me, for the ARC was truly the loaf of Michael's body, and breaking it is his death as an angel. But more generally, keep giving thanks for, breaking and eating all the food of the passover, the meal and the 4 loaves].
20 Also, the cup in the same way after they had the evening meal, he saying: This cup is the new covenant [the cup of the 1NC] by virtue of my blood [not my blood, but by virtue of my blood], which is to be poured out in your behalf.
21 But, look! the hand of my betrayer is with me at the table.
22 Because the Son of man is going his way according to what is marked out; all the same, woe to that man through whom he is betrayed!
23 So they started to discuss among themselves the question of which of them would really be the one that was about to do this.
24 However, there also arose a heated dispute among them over which one of them seemed to be greatest.
25 But he said to them: The kings of the nations lord it over them, and those having authority over them are called Benefactors.
26 you, though, are not to be that way. But let him that is the greatest among you become as the youngest, and the one acting as chief as the one ministering.
27 For which one is greater, the one reclining at the table or the one ministering? Is it not the one reclining at the table? But I am in your midst as the one ministering.
28 However, you are the ones that have stuck with me in my trials;
29 and I make a covenant with you, just as my Father has made a covenant with me, for a kingdom,
30 that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones to judge the 12 tribes of Israel.
31 Simon, Simon, look! Satan has demanded to have you men to sift you as wheat.
32 But I have made supplication for you that your faith may not give out; and you, when once you have returned, strengthen your brothers.
33 Then he said to him: Lord, I am ready to go with you both into prison and into death.
34 But he said: I tell you, Peter, A cock will not crow today until you have 3 times denied knowing me.
35 He also said to them: When I sent you forth without purse and food pouch and sandals, you did not want for anything, did you? They said: No!
36 Then he said to them: But now let the one that has a purse take it up, likewise also a food pouch; and let the one having no sword sell his outer garment and buy one.
37 For I tell you that this which is written must be accomplished in me, namely, 'And he was reckoned with lawless ones.' For that which concerns me is having an accomplishment.
38 Then they said: Lord, look! here are 2 swords. He said to them: It is enough.
39 On going out he went as customarily to the Mount of Olives; and the disciples also followed him (Luke 22).

2 So, while the evening meal was going on, the Devil having already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, to betray him,
3 he, knowing that the Father had given all things into [his] hands and that he came forth from God and was going to God,
4 got up from the evening meal and laid aside his outer garments. And, taking a towel, he girded himself.
5 After that he put water into a basin and started to wash the feet of the disciples and to dry them off with the towel with which he was girded.
6 And so he came to Simon Peter. He said to him: Lord, are you washing my feet?
7 In answer Jesus said to him: What I am doing you do not understand at present, but you will understand after these things.
8 Peter said to him: You will certainly never wash my feet. Jesus answered him: Unless I wash you, you have no part with me.
9 Simon Peter said to him: Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head.
10 Jesus said to him: He that has bathed does not need to have more than his feet washed, but is wholly clean. And you men are clean, but not all.
11 He knew, indeed, the man betraying him. This is why he said: Not all of you are clean.
12 When, now, he had washed their feet and had put his outer garments on and laid himself down at the table again, he said to them: Do you know what I have done to you?
13 you address me, 'Teacher,' and, 'Lord,' and you speak rightly, for I am such.
14 Therefore, if I, although Lord and Teacher, washed your feet, you also ought to wash the feet of one another.
15 For I set the pattern for you, that, just as I did to you, you should do also.
16 Most truly I say to you, A slave is not greater than his master, nor is one that is sent forth greater than the one that sent him.
17 If you know these things, happy you are if you do them.
18 I am not talking about all of you; I know the ones I have chosen. But it is in order that the Scripture might be fulfilled, 'He that used to feed on my bread has lifted up his heel against me.'
19 From this moment on I am telling you before it occurs, in order that when it does occur you may believe that I am [he].
20 Most truly I say to you, He that receives anyone I send receives me [also]. In turn he that receives me, receives [also] him that sent me.
21 After saying these things, Jesus became troubled in spirit, and he bore witness and said: Most truly I say to you, One of you will betray me.
22 The disciples began to look at one another, being at a loss as to which one he was saying [it] about.
23 There was reclining in front of Jesus' bosom one of his disciples, and Jesus loved him.
24 Therefore Simon Peter nodded to this one and said to him: Tell who it is about whom he is saying [it].
25 So the latter leaned back upon the breast of Jesus and said to him: Lord, who is it?
26 Therefore Jesus answered: It is that one to whom I shall give the morsel that I dip. And so, having dipped the morsel, he took and gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.
27 And after the morsel then Satan entered into the latter. Jesus, therefore, said to him: What you are doing get done more quickly.
28 However, none of those reclining at the table knew for what purpose he said this to him.
29 Some, in fact, were imagining, since Judas was holding the money box, that Jesus was telling him: Buy what things we need for the festival, or that he should give something to the poor.
30 Therefore, after he received the morsel, he went out immediately. And it was night.
31 Hence when he had gone out, Jesus said: Now the Son of man is glorified, and God is glorified in connection with him.
32 And God will himself glorify him, and he will glorify him immediately.
33 Little children, I am with you a little longer. You will look for me; and just as I said to the Jews, 'Where I go you cannot come,' I say also to you at present.
34 I am giving you a new commandment, that you love one another; just as I have loved you, that you also love one another.
35 By this all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love among yourselves.
36 Simon Peter said to him: Lord, where are you going? Jesus answered: Where I am going you cannot follow me now, but you will follow afterwards.
37 Peter said to him: Lord, why is it I cannot follow you at present? I will surrender my soul in your behalf.
38 Jesus answered: Will you surrender your soul in my behalf? Most truly I say to you: A cock will by no means crow until you have disowned me 3 times (John 13).

We also have the account by Paul in 1 Corinthians 11. Paul himself only understood the loaf of the 1NC and the cup of the 1NC at the time he wrote this letter. But his words are of course inspired...

23 For I received from the Lord that which I also handed on to you, that the Lord Jesus in the night in which he was going to be handed over took a loaf [of the ARC],
24 and, after giving thanks, he broke it and said: This is my body which is in your behalf. Keep doing this in remembrance of me [keep giving thanks for, breaking and eating the loaf of the ARC in remembrance of me, for the ARC was truly the loaf of Michael's body, and breaking it is his death as an angel. But more generally, keep giving thanks for, breaking and eating all the food of the passover, the meal and the 4 loaves].
25 He did likewise respecting the cup also, after he had the evening meal, saying: This cup is the new covenant by virtue of my blood. Keep doing this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me [doing this meaning giving thanks for and drinking the cup of the 1NC which represents John's angelic life, the blood of the JAC. But more generally keep giving thanks for and drinking all the 4 cups of the passover].
26 For as often as you eat this loaf [of the ARC] and drink this cup [of the 1NC], you keep proclaiming the death of the Lord [as an angel in the case of the ARC and as a human in the case of the 1NC, since all human covenant mediators have to die], until he arrives [on 2008Sivan6, 7 days after the end of the 1335 days of Daniel12].
27 Consequently whoever eats the loaf or drinks the cup of the Lord [the loaf and the cup of the ARC] unworthily will be guilty respecting the body and the blood of the Lord [The angelic body and the angelic life of Michael.].
28 First let a man approve himself after scrutiny [make sure he is a 1NC saint - the LWs know the rules for this scrutiny, the JWs do not. Gordon knowsfor he is the doorkeeper, the one who shuts without anyone opening and opens without anyone shutting], and thus let him eat of the loaf and drink of the cup.
29 For he that eats and drinks, eats and drinks judgment against himself if he does not discern the body [of Christ, the remnant. We must get the unclean things out of the temple of the body of Christ - we have seen this unclean state of affairs before in the old testament with the physical temple several times].
30 That is why many among you are weak and sickly, and quite a few are sleeping [in death].
31 But if we would discern what we ourselves are, we would not be judged.
32 However, when we are judged, we are disciplined by Jehovah, that we may not become condemned with the world.
33 Consequently, my brothers, when you come together to eat [it], wait for one another.
34 If anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, that you may not come together for judgment [So this meal is not to be eaten at home, but when the congregation all comes together, the congregation being the greater family]. But the remaining matters I will set in order when I get there. (1 Corinthians 11).

Earlier in this letter to the Corinthians we read:

16 The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not a sharing in the blood of the Christ [Well yes but through a tortuous route. For the 1NC is by virtue of Michael's blood, but the blood of that covenant is the blood of John. However his blood washes Jacob, the system mediator, and Jacob's blood washes Michael's, then that blood washes the sons of the 1NC. So it is a sharing in the blood of the Christ, blood washed by the blood of the associated angel of John the baptist]? The loaf which we break, is it not a sharing in the body of the Christ [It is a sharing in the angelic body of John which ransoms Jacob, who has angelic children through the sub-mediator Jesus. So it is a sharing in the angelic body of Jesus given him by Jacob. This is not the angelic body of Michael which body imparts everlasting life, the minute it is eaten.]?
17 Because there is one loaf, we, although many, are one body, for we are all partaking of that one loaf [that being their mistake for over 1900 years] (1 Corinthians 10).

The 4 cups and loaves of the 4 Validation sacrifices of the 2 sets of Master and Main covenants of the Last Supper

We are going to play Spot the Difference with these literal accounts and use the Jigsaw Principle of the Code.

Since blood flows round a body we know that each cup of wine, which represents blood, is related to one particular loaf of bread, which represents the body wherein the blood of that cup flows. We can also deduce from this symbolism that the loaf it always eaten before its cup is drunk, since the blood needs a body to flow around. We present the 4 relevant sections again together for ease of reference below:

26 As they continued eating, Jesus took a loaf [1AC] and, after saying a blessing, he broke it and, giving it to the disciples, he said: Take, eat. This is my body.
27 Also, he took a cup [1AC] and, having given thanks, he gave it to them, saying: Drink out of it, all of you;
28 for this is my 'blood of the covenant,' which is to be poured out in behalf of many for forgiveness of sins (Matthew 26).

22 And as they continued eating, he took a loaf [1AC], said a blessing, broke it and gave it to them, and said: Take it, this is my body.
23 And taking a cup [1AC], he offered thanks and gave it to them, and they all drank out of it.
24 And he said to them: This is my 'blood of the covenant,' which is to be poured out in behalf of many (Mark 14).

17 And, accepting a cup [FRC], he gave thanks and said: Take this and pass it from one to the other among yourselves;
18 for I tell you, From now on I will not drink again from the product of the vine until the kingdom of God arrives.
19 Also, he took a loaf [ARC], gave thanks, broke it, and gave it to them, saying: This is my body, which is to be given in your behalf. Keep doing this in remembrance of me.
20 Also, the cup [1NC] in the same way after they had the evening meal, he saying: This cup is the new covenant by virtue of my blood, which is to be poured out in your behalf (Luke 22).

23 For I received from the Lord that which I also handed on to you, that the Lord Jesus in the night in which he was going to be handed over took a loaf [ARC],
24 and, after giving thanks, he broke it and said: This is my body which is in your behalf. Keep doing this in remembrance of me.
25 He did likewise respecting the cup [1NC] also, after he had the evening meal, saying: This cup is the new covenant by virtue of my blood. Keep doing this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me (1.Corinthians 11).

If you read the above as a Jew knowing that 2 cups are drunk before the meal, one cup with the meal and one cup after the meal. It is easier to see which cup represents each covenant. If not then you need to scrutinize the words very carefully.

Common to Matthew and Mark

Loaf:   Took, as they continued eating, blessed, broke, given to them: Take, eat this is my body
Cup:    Took, thanks given, given to them, they all drank out of it: This is my 'blood of the covenant,' which is to be poured out in behalf of many.

Unique to Luke

Cup: Accepted, gave thanks: Take this and pass it from one to another among yourselves

 Common to Luke and Corinthians

Loaf:  Took, gave thanks, broken, given to them: This is my body, which is to be given on your behalf. Keep doing this in remembrance of me.
Cup: After the evening meal: This cup is the new covenant by virtue of my blood, which is to be poured out in your behalf.

The Loaf of Matthew and Mark was eaten during the meal. So its associated cup must also have been consumed during the meal because one cannot separate the two emblems of one validation sacrifice. Both emblems must be taken with the meal or both must be taken not with the meal depending on the relationship between the validation sacrifice they represent and the symbolic meaning of the meal. Also if the loaf was taken with the meal and the cup of the same covenant was taken after the meal, then there would have been a large time gap between the two emblems. But why define a body and wait for a while before having the blood flow round it? So the cup of Luke and Corinthians drunk after the meal was not the cup associated with the loaf of Matthew and Mark, which loaf was eaten during the meal. We know that the cup drunk after the meal was the cup of the new covenant and it was poured out ‘in your behalf’, whereas the cup of Matthew and Mark was my ‘blood of the covenant’ which was poured out in behalf of the many. Now the apostles were certainly not ‘the many’ and neither are the first new covenants saints ‘the many’ since there are only 144,000 of them. So the ‘blood of the covenant’ must relate to the 1AC or to the FRC since this covenant system saves ‘the many’ when compared to the ARC and the JAC system. We know that Melchizedek in Jared validated the FRC, not Jesus. So ‘my blood of the covenant’ must be that of the 1AC, since it is Jesus’ blood. So Jesus’ human body validated the 1AC.

Now Jesus did not give thanks twice for any validation sacrifice, or for any one covenant, so each pair of emblems has only one giving of thanks. Knowing this we deduce that the loaf of Luke and Corinthians, which represents Jesus’ body, and which he gives thanks for, cannot relate to the cup of Matthew and Mark, which he also gives thanks for, which is Jesus’ blood of the 1AC.

So it must by Jesus angelic body rather than his human body. So it is the loaf of the ARC. This is why Jesus said: Keep doing this in remembrance of me, for he was Michael not Jesus the non adamic surrogate son of Joseph. This loaf was HIM!!!

So the Loaf of Matthew and Mark, which was also Jesus’ body, must have been his human body. So it was the loaf of the 1AC. So Matthew and Mark refer simply to the loaf and the cup of the 1AC.

Now the first cup of Luke is drunk before the loaf of the ARC, so it cannot be the blood of the ARC or the 1NC. This cup was accepted rather than being taken as the cup of the 1AC was. So it was not the cup of the 1AC. So it was the cup of the FRC, the superior covenant to the 1AC.

So, in summary, The first cup of Luke is the cup of the FRC, the loaf in Luke and Corinthians is the loaf of the ARC, the cup and loaf in Matthew and Mark are the emblems of the 1AC and the second cup in Luke and the cup in Corinthians are the cup of the 1NC.

We know that the apostles were beneficiaries of the 1EC, the 2AC the CRC from a priestly standpoint, and were beneficiaries of the 1AC the FRC the 1NC the JAC and the ARC from a salvation standpoint. The 1AC had Jesus the human for the validation sacrifice, the 1NC and the JAC in fact have John the Baptist for the validation sacrifice as we shall see. The FRC had Melchizedek in Jared for its validation sacrifice, and the ARC had Michael in Jesus for its validation sacrifice. So the apostles were the beneficiaries of covenants covered by 4 validation sacrifices from a salvation standpoint (and 2 further validation sacrifices of Isaac for the ICC and of Gabriel for the CRC from a priesthood standpoint). So the last supper should at least have involved 4 sets of emblems, 4 cups and 4 loaves, 4 the 4 salvation covenant validation sacrifices.

Another way of seeing that several cups were drunk is that Judas was still at the table after they had had the evening meal and after Jesus said the blessing on the cup, which is 'the new covenant'. So Judas certainly drank the cup which was drunk during the meal and ate the related bread. In fact Mark tells us that 'they all drank out of it', referring to the cup drunk with the meal. And Jesus commanded them during the meal saying: Drink out of it all of you. But Judas cannot have drunk the wine of the new covenant, because Jesus was not about to marry him, having effectively called him unclean earlier in the evening.

We have seen that the ‘blood of the covenant’ poured out for the many, which was drunk during the meal is the blood of the 1AC, which has many many covenanters. The reason that it was drunk during the meal is that the Passover meal stands for the Law in the symbolism of the Lord’s Evening meal. The Law was the spiritual meal that the Jews got after the Passover in Egypt. And the Law was a subcovenant of the 1AC.

Now the ARC was made a long time before the Law, and so the loaf of the ARC is eaten before the passover meal , which Luke indicated by omission but we have now proved with logic and by paying attention to every word of the 4 accounts. The FRC and the ARC are drunk before the meal, the 1AC is drunk during the meal and the 1NC is drunk after the meal because that covenant was the end of the Law, which the meal symbolised. The 1NC was not a part of the law, it superceded the law. The FRC is drunk before the ARC because humans entered the former before they entered the latter.

The order of events at the last supper

To cut a long story short the finished jigsaw of the whole meal is something like this:

[1] Evening falls on Thursday March 31st 33 CE (33Nisan14)

[2] Jesus reclines at the table with 12 in an upper room (Matthew 26:20).

[3] Jesus: And he said to them: I have greatly desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer; for I tell you, I will not eat it again until it becomes fulfilled in the kingdom of God (Luke 22:15,16).

 [4] Jesus accepted a loaf (1st loaf, the loaf of the FRC). Said a blessing and broke the loaf (Inferred from Luke 22:17)

Jesus accepted a cup (1st first cup, the cup of the FRC). Gave thanks, said a blessing and said: 

17 Take this and pass it from one to the other among yourselves
18 for I tell you, From now on I will not drink again from the product of the vine [the blood of Melchizedek of the FRC] until the kingdom of God arrives (Luke 22).

[4a] Jesus took a loaf (2nd loaf, the loaf of the ARC), gave thanks, blessed it, broke it, and gave it to them (Luke 22:19)

Jesus: This is my body which is to be given in your behalf. Keep doing this in remembrance of me (Luke 22:19). 

Inferred - Jesus took a cup (2rd cup, the cup of the ARC), blessed it, and gave it to them

[4b] Start eating the Passover meal (Matthew 26:20).

[5] Jesus got up during the meal laid aside his outer garments and girding himself with a towel he put water into a basin and started to wash the feet of his disciples and to dry them off with the towel with which he was girded (John13:5).

[6] Peter: Lord are you washing my feet (John 13:6).

[7] Jesus: What I am doing you do not understand at present, but you will understand after theses things (John 13:7).

[8] Peter: You will certainly never wash my feet (John 13:8)

[9] Jesus: Unless I wash you, you have no part with me (John 13:8).

[10] Peter: Lord not my feet only but also my hands and my head (John 13:9).

[11] Jesus: He that has bathed does not need to have more than his feet washed, but is wholly clean. And you men are clean but not all (John 13:10).

[12] He knew, indeed, the man betraying him. This is why he said: Not all of you are clean.
When, now, he had washed their feet and had put his outer garments on and laid himself down at the table again, he said to them: Do you know what I have done to you?
You address me, 'Teacher,' and, 'Lord,' and you speak rightly for I am such.
Therefore, if I, although Lord and Teacher, washed your feet, you also ought to wash the feet of one another.
For I set the pattern for you, that, just as I did to you, you should do also.
Most truly I say to you, A slave is not greater than his master nor is one that is sent forth greater than the one that sent him. If you know these things, happy you are if you do them.
I am not talking about all of you; I know the ones I have chosen. But it is in order that the Scripture might be fulfilled,
'He that used to feed on my bread has lifted up his heel against me.'
From this moment on I am telling you before it occurs, in order that when it does occur you may believe that I am [he].
Most truly I say to you: He that receives anyone I send receives me [also]. In turn he that receives me, receives [also] him that sent me.
After saying these things, Jesus became troubled in spirit, and he bore witness and said... (John 13:11-21).

[13] Jesus: Truly I say to you, one of you who is eating with me will betray me (Matthew 26:21, Mark 14:18, John 13:21)

[14] The disciples began to look at one another, being at a loss as to which one he was saying [it] about (John 13:22).

[15] Each and every one said: Lord it is not I is it? (Matthew 26:22)

[16] Jesus: It is one of the 12 who is dipping with me into the common bowl (Mark 14:20)

[17] Jesus: He that dips his hand with me in the bowl is the one that will betray me (Matthew 26:23)

[18] Jesus: True, the Son of man is going away, just as it is written concerning him, but woe to that man through whom the Son of man is betrayed! It would have been finer for him if that man had not been born (Matthew 26:24, Mark 14:21)

[19] Judas: It is not I is it Rabbi? (Matthew 26:25).

[20] Jesus: You yourself said it (Matthew 26:25).

[22] Jesus took a loaf (3rd loaf, the loaf of the 1AC), gave thanks, said a blessing, broke the loaf, gave it to the disciples saying:

26 Take eat, this is my body (Matthew 26, Mark 14:22-24)

[23] Jesus took a cup (3rd cup, the cup of the 1AC), gave thanks, said a blessing, gave it to the disciples saying:

27 Drink out of it all of you, 28 for this is my blood of the covenant (1AC) which is being poured out on behalf of many for the forgiveness of sins (Matthew 26, Mark 14:22,24).

They all drank out of it [including Judas] (Mark 14:23).

[24] Jesus: But I tell you I will by no means henceforth drink any of this product of the vine [the blood of Jesus of the 1AC] until the day when I drink it new with you in the Kingdom of my Father (Matthew 26:29).

[25]  25 Truly I say to you, I shall by no means drink anymore of the product of the vine [the blood of Michael of the ARC] until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God (Mark 14).

The product of the vine is the blood of the ARC. Michael is the vine.

[28] Evening meal ends (Luke 22:20).

[29] Inferred - Jesus too a loaf (the 4th loaf, the loaf of the 1NC), gave thanks, blessed it, broke it and gave it to the disciples and the disciples ate the bread.

[30] Also, the cup (the 4th cup, the cup of the 1NC) in the same way after they had the evening meal, he saying: This cup means the new covenant by virtue of my blood, which is to be poured out in your behalf (Luke 22:20). [But he did not give the cup to his disciples just yet - Notice he did not say that he would not drink anymore of this product of the vine until the Kingdom].

[31] But, look! the hand of my betrayer is with me at the table. Because the Son of man is going his way according to what is marked out; all the same, woe to that man through whom he is betrayed! (Luke 22:21,22).

[32] So they started to discuss among themselves the question of which of them would really be the one that was about to do this. However, there also arose a heated dispute among them over which one of them seemed to be greatest (Luke 22:23,24).

[33] There was reclining in front of Jesus' bosom one of his disciples, and Jesus loved him.
Therefore Simon Peter nodded to this one and said to him: Tell who it is about whom he is saying [it].
So the latter leaned back upon the breast of Jesus and said to him: Lord, who is it?
Therefore Jesus answered: It is that one to whom I shall give the morsel that I dip. And so, having dipped the morsel, he took and gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.
And after the morsel then Satan entered into the latter. Jesus, therefore, said to him: What you are doing get done more quickly.
However, none of those reclining at the table knew for what purpose he said this to him. 
Some, in fact, were imagining, since Judas was holding the money box, that Jesus was telling him: Buy what things we need for the festival, or that he should give something to the poor.
Therefore, after he received the morsel, he went out immediately. And it was night (John 13:23-30).

[34] Jesus: The kings of the nations lord it over them, and those having authority over them are called Benefactors.
You, though, are not to be that way. But let him that is the greatest among you become as the youngest, and the one acting as chief as the one ministering. 
However, you are the ones that have stuck with me in my trials;
and I make a covenant with you, just as my Father has made a covenant with me, for a kingdom,
that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones to judge the 12 tribes of Israel (Luke 22:25-30). Now Jesus gave the cup to the 11 apostles, after the covenant was made.

[35]  Hence when he (Judas) had gone out, Jesus said: Now the Son of man is glorified, and God is glorified in connection with him. And God will himself glorify him, and he will glorify him immediately.
Little children, I am with you a little longer. You will look for me; and just as I said to the Jews, 'Where I go you cannot
come,' I say also to you at present.
I am giving you a new commandment, that you love one another; just as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love among yourselves. (John 13:31-35).

[36] Simon Peter said to him: Lord, where are you going?
Jesus answered: Where I am going you cannot follow me now, but you will follow afterwards.
Peter said to him: Lord, why is it I cannot follow you at present? I will surrender my soul in your behalf.
Jesus answered: Will you surrender your soul in my behalf? (John 13:36,37).

[37] Simon, Simon, look! Satan has demanded to have you men to sift you as wheat.
But I have made supplication for you that your faith may not give out; and you, when once you have returned, strengthen your brothers (Luke 22:25,32)

[38] Peter: Lord, I am ready to go with you both into prison and into death (Luke 22:33).

[39] Jesus: Most truly I say to you, Peter, A cock will not crow today until you have 3 times denied knowing me (Luke 22:34, John 13:38).

[40] Jesus: When I sent you forth without purse and food pouch and sandals, you did not want for anything, did you?

[41] 11 apostles: No (Luke 22:35)

[42] Jesus: But now let the one that has a purse take it up, likewise also a food pouch; and let the one having no sword
sell his outer garment and buy one. For I tell you that this which is written must be accomplished in me, namely, 'And he was reckoned with lawless ones.' For that which concerns me is having an accomplishment (Luke 22:36,37)

[43] Then they said: Lord, look! here are two swords. He said to them: It is enough (Luke 22:38)

[44] Sang praises (Matthew 26:30).

[45] Went to the mount of olives (Matthew 26:30).

Jesus, the human, ransomed Abraham, validating the 1AC and John’s associated angel ransomed Jacob validated the JAC

This is how we worked it out brothers – sorry, the logic is a bit circuitous here!

The third cup, the blood of the covenant for the many, the cup of the 1AC, has nothing to do with the new covenant because it is for the many and the new covenant is for the few, which few are referred to by 'in your behalf' in the 4 accounts. But whose blood was the blood of the covenant in the case of 1AC?

Well, in the case of the law covenant we know that the blood of the bull was the ‘blood of the covenant’:

8 So Moses took the blood and sprinkled it upon the people and said: Here is the blood of the covenant that Jehovah has concluded with you as respects all these words (Exodus 24).

In the case of the Land and Circumcision Covenant we have the sacrifice by prepared by Abraham but stipulated and offered up by God:

9 In turn he said to him: Take for me a three-year-old heifer and a three-year-old she-goat and a three-year-old ram and a turtledove and a young pigeon.
10 So he took all these to himself and cut them in two and put each part of them so as to match the other, but the birds he did not cut in pieces (Genesis 15).

A highly symbolic sacrifice, if ever there was one. But certainly these animals provided the blood of the Land and Circumcision Covenant.

Now Paul has explained to us that every covenant needs to be validated by a blood sacrifice:

16 For where there is a covenant, the death of the [human] covenanter needs to be furnished.
17 For a covenant is valid over dead [victims], since it is not in force at any time while the [human] covenanter is living.
18 Consequently neither was the former [covenant] inaugurated without blood....
19 For when every commandment according to the Law had been spoken by Moses to all the people, he took the blood of the young bulls and of the goats with water and scarlet wool and hyssop and sprinkled the book itself and all the people, 
20 saying: This is the blood of the covenant that God has laid as a charge upon you.... 
22 Yes, nearly all things are cleansed with blood according to the Law, and unless blood is poured out no forgiveness takes place... (Hebrews 9).

So every covenant needs a blood sacrifice to validate it. Now Paul describes a covenant, which is validated by God.

17 Further, I say this: As to the covenant previously validated by God, the Law that has come into being four hundred and thirty years later does not invalidate it, so as to abolish the promise (Galatians 3).

So what did God do? The answer is this:

17 The sun was now setting and a dense darkness came and, look! a smoking furnace and a fiery torch that passed in between these pieces.
18 On that day Jehovah concluded with Abram a covenant, saying: "To your seed I will give this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates (Genesis 15).

God himself burnt up the sacrifice that Abraham has prepared in Genesis 15 for the Land and Circumcision covenant. But who was the sacrifice for the 1AC? 

Well, remember in Genesis 22, how Abraham as good as sacrificed Isaac, his firstborn son. If he had actually sacrificed Isaac then we might possibly have the missing blood of the First Abrahamic Covenant. But what happened was that God stopped him at the last minute.  Isaac asked Abraham: Where is the sheep for the burnt offering?

8 To this Abraham said: God will provide himself the sheep for the burnt offering, my son. And both of them walked on together (Genesis 22).

Then, when Abraham was just about to kill his son with the knife:

11 Jehovah's angel began calling to him out of the heavens and saying: Abraham, Abraham! to which he answered: Here I am!
12 And he went on to say: Do not put out your hand against the boy and do not do anything at all to him, for now I do know that you are God-fearing in that you have not withheld your son, your only one, from me.
13 At that Abraham raised his eyes and looked and there, deep in the foreground, there was a ram caught by its horns in a thicket. So Abraham went and took the ram and offered it up for a burnt offering in place of his son.
14 And Abraham began to call the name of that place Jehovah-jireh. This is why it is customarily said today: In the mountain of Jehovah it will be provided (Genesis 22).

Jehovah - Jireh: 'God will provide'. In the mountain of Jehovah it will be provided. Yes it was Abraham who sacrificed the sheep, but the blood of a sheep can plainly provide no redemption for mankind, it is only of a symbolic value. The sheep in the thicket actually was the validation sacrifice for the 3AC, which was not a Main covenant. The 3AC and the IAC were merely promises about a seed who would get the main covenant of the JAC. 

Jacob, the main mediator of the JAC, was ransomed by John the Baptist. He was the validation sacrifice for the JAC (we state this here, we prove it later). He was the sheep that God provided, since John was non adamic. The sheep of John the baptist came from heavenly mount Zion, the mountain of God, God's heavenly administration. The 1NC is a subcovenant of the JAC, so the cup of the First New Covenant contains the blood of John the Baptist.

Fine, but who was the validation sacrifice for the 1AC?

Well of course it was Jesus Christ. He too came from heavenly mount Zion, a symbolism for God's administration in heaven (The Kings of Israel/Judah had their palace upon mount Zion, a hill in Jerusalem). But how can one son provide the blood for 2 cups, for 2 covenants, the 1AC and the ARC? He cannot. But look there were two Jesus's ! The first was the surrogate son of both Joseph and Mary, who died at his baptism on 29Tishri10 (7^th October 29 CE). The second was Michael Christ, or Michael in Jesus, the Jesus Christ of his ministry, who died at his crucifixion or impalement on 33Nisan14 (April 1^st 33 CE) - see [14b].

God did not sacrifice the first Jesus in the Jordan river. Immanuel was raptured just as Micahel entered his body, since he was non adamic. It was Caiaphas, the high priest under law, who sacrificed the human body of Jesus, thereby ending both the law and the necessity for Jews to pay any attention to his own priesthood. So we have at last found the validation sacrifice for the First Abrahamic covenant - Jesus Christ the non adamic human.

But look at the faith of Abraham, truly this is what our God foresaw in this man and why he made the promise to him. He would have sacrificed his firstborn and only son (who was willing) in validation of the 3AC had God not stopped him (the 3AC did not need such a sacrifice in any event). And look at Abraham's reasoning behind making this near sacrifice:

17 By faith Abraham, when he was tested, as good as offered up Isaac, and the man that had gladly received the promises attempted to offer up [his] only-begotten [son], 
18 although it had been said to him: What will be called 'your seed' will be through Isaac.
19 But he reckoned that God was able to raise him up even from the dead; and from there he did receive him also in an illustrative way (Hebrews 11).

This wasn’t blind faith, it was the rationalised wisdom of a spiritual man, who saw what no other man could see by using his power of reason, to see with the eyes of his mind.

33 Oh the depth of God's riches and wisdom and knowledge! How unsearchable his judgments [are] and past tracing out his ways [are]! (Romans 11).

So the third cup was the 1AC, and the blood of the covenant was the blood of Jesus the carpenter's son.

Now we have stated that John the Baptist was the validation sacrifice for the new covenant, but let us actually prove it here. The first thing to realise is that it wasn't Michael. The reason we know this is that he died to ransom Adam, so he was the validation sacrifice of the angelic ransom covenant, the ARC, which is superior to all covenants, being the final destination of all who are saved. The new covenant is way down the tree from there. This is why Jesus did not say of the new covenant cup: This is my blood of the new covenant. What he said was: This is the new covenant by virtue of my blood.

This statement clearly implies that although his blood is 'responsible' for the new covenant, the blood of the covenant it isn't. In other words as we have said above, Michael's blood validated a superior covenant.

So who validated the new covenant, who died for it? Well every day under law there were two constant feature sacrifices not one. The first one was in the evening, in the dark, not very visible, and the second was in the morning, fully visible. Since Jesus' sacrifice was in the day and was visible we are looking for a sacrifice at night, which was not so easily visible. The answer is John the baptist who was also non adamic and was possessed by Gabriel - see [229]. 

John was killed by Herod at night, before Jesus was killed. Gabriel had left him before his head was cut off however.

21 But a convenient day came along when Herod spread an evening meal on his birthday for his top-ranking men and the military commanders and the foremost ones of Galilee.
22 And the daughter of this very Herodias came in and danced and pleased Herod and those reclining with him. The king said to the maiden: Ask me for whatever you want, and I will give it to you.
23 Yes, he swore to her: Whatever you ask me for, I will give it to you, up to half my kingdom.
24 And she went out and said to her mother: What should I ask for? She said: The head of John the baptiser (Mark 6).

Of course John had to be non adamic, in fact he had to be possessed by the angelic priest Gabriel in order to preside over the angelic entrance of Michael into Jesus, and the temporary death of Jesus' the carpenter's son.

So John was killed although he wasn't under an adamic death sentence, so we have a validation sacrifice here. But which covenant did he validate? To understand this one needs to look at the three Abrahamic covenants - U9 and the 3 accounts in Matthew 22, Mark12 and Luke 20 of the 7 brothers all of whom got one wife - U32. From this it is apparent that the 1AC deals with earthly resurrections, the 3AC deals with being born again and heavenly resurrections and the LCC dealt with the promised land and the exclusivity of God to the Jews up until the end of the week of years which Jesus died in the middle of. 

Now we have a validation sacrifice for the 1AC, Jesus Christ. And we know that God himself, with a smoking furnace and a fiery torch, burnt up the sacrifice that Abraham had prepared, namely three 3 year old animals and 2 birds (one day, God willing, we will know why!) to validate the LCC. We have the sheep in the thicket as the validation sacrifice of the 3AC. But who ransomed Jacob and thereby validated the JAC? Well it must have been John the baptist, by a process of elimination, and by a symmetry between Gabriel and Michael and John and Jesus. For Jesus validated the Abrahamic subcovenant of Melchizedek's master covenant (the FRC) and John validated the Abrahamic/Jacobian subcovenant of Michael's master covenant (the ARC). Isaac was non adamic, he did not need to be ransomed in order to mediate any covenants, hence no validation sacrifice was necessary for the main covenant of the ICC other than his own!

Yes, it was John the baptist who also died for us. He lost his head at the request of a queen as a result of a promise of a king valid for up to half a kingdom, to validate a covenant for men to become heavenly and and earthly kings. Although of course the heavenly heads are somewhat detached from the earth.

The Angelic Ransom Covenant validation sacrifice

Adam lost both his indefinitely living human body and his angelic body when he sinned. So in order for Adam to be ransomed completely, two souls must be given to God, firstly an indefinitely long human body and secondly an angelic body. The edenic human body was actually provided by Gabriel in Methuselah - U9. The angelic body was provided by Michael in Jesus. This is truly what Jesus' death was all about. Michael died as an angel as well as a human on 33Nisan14, Hence we read:

46 And Jesus called with a loud voice and said: Father into your hands I entrust my spirit. When he had said this he expired (Luke 23).

17 This is why the Father loves me, because I surrender my soul, in order that I may receive it again.
18 No man has taken it away from me, but I surrender it of my own initiative. I have authority to surrender it, and I have authority to receive it again. The commandment on this I received from my Father (John 10).

So Jesus' spirit did not go into his angel when he died. So he died as an angel. He delivered his spirit to God, as John said:

30 When, now, he had received the sour wine, Jesus said: It has been accomplished! and, bowing his head, he delivered up [his] spirit. (John 19)

His spirit is his life, his metaphorical blood, which is integrated with his spirit body. Michael had to die as an angel, because Adam's associated angelic body did die or at least was removed by God. So one has to conclude that Michael's angelic soul was given to God in return, so Michael's spirit had no angelic body to go into when he died. So he went to Tartarus initially.

Because Michael died completely, he ransomed Adam completely. So all angelic resurrections are through Michael. He is the father, replacing Adam as father, of all angels for humans. Adam lost his associated angel in payment to God, Michael lost his instead, and gave his angelic soul to God with the words of Luke 23:46. This was the ransom. So now he has purchased from God, the rights that Adam had, to have angelic children. However Jesus' human soul only ransoms those in the First Abrahamic covenant. 

Summary:

Every year since the Passover was instigated, down to this very day (April 29, 2003), the Physical Jews have always drunk 4 cups at the passover. Secondly the Jews have eaten three matzos, loaves, placed one upon the other since 1513 BC one presumes. Now the middle loaf is cut in two by the priest and the larger part is hidden by him and then the children have to find it.

I mean really, could there be a more obvious symbolism for an angelically possessed Messiah who is found by God's children. Jesus is the second loaf, his human body is the smaller bit, his angelic soul is the larger bit, the bigger deal. The angelic soul is hidden from all Christians and all Jews, except those who are God's sons. Such a simple symbolism. The first and third loaf are John after Gabriel left (the ransom for JAC), and Melchizedek inside Jared (the ransom for the FRC). Oh you sons of Jacob, please do not let the holy spirit indefinitely make fools out of you! Wake up and grasp your destiny. True you do not have an exclusive on being God's official people any longer, but who needs an exclusive? You were the firstborn, you have his love, you had the messiah, what more do you want?  - SO RESPOND ALREADY! 

On what day and at what hour should we eat the Passover meal?

Jesus died between the two evenings marking the beginning and end of Nisan14, separated by 24 hours.

5 In the first month, on the 14th day of the month, between the two evenings is the passover to Jehovah (Leviticus 23).

5 Then they prepared the passover sacrifice in the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month between the two evenings [between sunset, the first evening, and the night or darkenss, the evening of Genesis 1], in the wilderness of Sinai. According to all that Jehovah had commanded Moses, so the sons of Israel did (Numbers 9).

He has to die on the same day that they slaughtered the passover victim, for if not then he is not the greater passover lamb. Since Moses defines that lamb as follows...

6 And it must continue under safeguard by you until the 14th day of this month, and the whole congregation of the assembly of Israel must slaughter it between the 2 evenings.
7 And they must take some of the blood and splash it upon the 2 doorposts and the upper part of the doorway belonging to the houses in which they will eat it.
8 'And they must eat the flesh on this night. They should eat it roasted with fire and with unfermented cakes along with bitter greens.
9 Do not eat any of it raw or boiled, cooked in water, but roast with fire, its head together with its shanks and its interior parts.
10 And you must not leave any of it over till morning, but what is left over of it till morning you should burn with fire.
11nd in this way you should eat it, with your hips girded, sandals on your feet and your staff in your hand; and you must eat it in haste. It is Jehovah's passover.
12 And I must pass through the land of Egypt on this night and strike every firstborn in the land of Egypt, from man to beast; and on all the gods of Egypt I shall execute judgments. I am Jehovah (Exodus 12)

So the passover angel struck on the night of the 14th (in fact at midnight, Exodus 11:4, 12:29).

The Hebrew day starts with sundown, the first evening, and ends with sundown 24 hours later, which is another evening. But night does not fall at sundown, it does not fall until it is completely dark with no light from the sun visible. So there is a period after sundown and before darkness, which is known as twilight. At the end of the twilight period, darkness or night proper begins. Now the Hebrew phrase translated "between the two evenings" literally means "in the midst of the evenings".

The word meaning "evenings" is from a root meaning: To become dark. And is in the dual number, which is a special form of plural used for two things, rather than the general plural which can mean a larger number of things than two obviously. Hence the translation "between the two evenings". But a more literal translation would be "in the midst of the two becoming darks."  But there are two phases to the becoming dark that occurs during a day. One is sundown and the other is the onset of total darkness. So both of these qualify as 'becoming darks' or evenings. In fact, the word for 'evening' really means both of these things. So the lamb was slaughtered between sundown and darkness in the twilight at the start of Nisan14. This is when the Samaritans slaughter it today.

Now Jesus was killed at the 9th hour of the day or at around 3pm which is between the two sundowns of Nisan14, which is between the two evenings of that day taking an evening as being a sundown. The trouble lies in the ambiguity of the Hebrew word for evening which can mean sundown or the onset of total darkness.

God knows this, having invented that and all other languages. He uses that ambiguity in his passover instructions. So Jesus did die between the two evenings, the two sundowns at the start and the end of Nisan14, and the passover lamb which he ate also died between the two evenings, the first sundown of Nisan14 and the onset of darkness when twilight finished and night started on Nisan14.

It is interesting that Mark says: 

12 Now [as regards].the first day of unfermented cakes, when they were sacrificing the passover [victim], his disciples said to him: Where do you want us to go and prepare for you to eat the passover? (Mark 14).

This was Nisan14, a day of unfermented cakes in that unfermented cakes were eaten with the passover lamb. So there are two possible first days of unfermented cakes. There is the first day of the 7 day festival of unfermented cakes when no sourdough is permitted in any houses. Then there is the first day when unfermented cakes are eaten, the passover, whereupon sourdough is actually permitted in the house. 

6 And it must continue under safeguard by you until the fourteenth day of this month, and the whole congregation of the assembly of Israel must slaughter it between the two evenings (Exodus 12). 

So one could not sacrifice the passover lamb on the 13th of Nisan when said lamb had to be safeguarded in the house. 

But the whole point of the passover was that they were up all night stripping the Egyptians. You should not get to bed at a reasonable time on that day! In fact Jesus said to them that night in the garden of Gethsemane. Can you not stay awake one hour with me? He was celebrating the passover correctly! It is the perfect festival for night owls and Gordon never realised it - doh! - dough!

Luke 22 is very interesting. It says the day of unfermented cakes now arrived on which the passover must be sacrificed (verse 7). Then it says: And when the hour came, he reclined at the table(verse 14). Now Jesus himself told Peter and John to go and prepare for the meal. Again Luke is calling the passover of Nisan14 a 'day of unfermented cakes' which indeed it is. But it is not a day of the 7 day festival of unfermneted cakes. Now hours always relate to days in the bible and logically. So one should assume that the hour of the meal was in the day of the sacrifice. This means that they killed the lamb just after sundown, they stripped it and prepared it for cooking for an hour or so, then then roasted it for 3 or 4 hours or so and then they eat it around midnight. Now when did the passover angel strike everyone in Egypt? 

29 And it came about that at midnight Jehovah struck every firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh sitting on his throne to the firstborn of the captive who was in the prison hole, and every firstborn of beast (Exodus 12:29). 

4 And Moses went on to say: This is what Jehovah has said, 'About midnight I am going out into the midst of Egypt,
5 and every firstborn in the land of Egypt must die, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who is sitting on his throne to the firstborn of the maidservant who is at the hand mill and every firstborn of beast.
6 And there will certainly occur a great outcry in all the land of Egypt, the like of which has never yet occurred, and the like of
which will never be brought about again (Exodus 11).

So that was the hour when they eat the meal. Jesus would know, he was the Passover angel!! He would now exaclty when to eat the passover comemorating his Egyptian activities. So we should start cooking the lamb just after Sundown, not before, and we should take the meal at midnight. 

The Tradition of the Samaritans today is to eat the passover at midnight...

THE SAMARITAN PASSOVER.
BY WILLIAM E. BARTON, D. D.

On this occasion the lambs were killed just at sunset, and the supper was eaten at midnight. She tells the story in these words: "All the men and boys of the community were assembled dressed in white, waiting for sunset. The ceremony commenced about half an hour before the sun went down. They all began shouting a loud prayer, each one shouting with all his might, and quite independent of the rest. The priest then took his stand on a fallen pillar from the ruins of the ancient Herodian temple, and read aloud the twelfth chapter of Exodus, which gives the narrative of the first Passover. At his feet stood six sheep, all of them males of the first year and without blemish. They were very particular that the sheep should not be killed a minute before or after the sun went down. Just as the sun dipped into the Mediterranean the sheep were killed, the people shouting all the time. The sheep were plunged into caldrons of boiling water to enable them to remove the wool easily. The wool and entrails were thrown into the fire. The hearts, too, were thrown into the fire. When the sheep were prepared they were put upon long wooden spikes. They were then carried to a cemented pit, where they had built a large furnace, where a hot bed of coals p. 213 was ready. Into this the stakes were thrust, and the top was covered with a mat of grass. The lambs were left to roast, because they must not eat the Passover raw nor sodden with water, but roasted with fire. The pit was left in charge of the younger men. The rest went to their tents to wait for midnight. Before dispersing they all embraced and wished each other a happy feast.

"The midnight hour was announced by a herald; and they all rose in haste, put on their sandals, girded up their loins, and took their staves in their hands. The pit was uncovered, and the lambs were placed on white cloths. Each family ate by itself; or if a family was too small, two families ate together. They ate in haste; and they gathered close around the lambs to prevent the Mohammedans, who come up to torment them, from snatching any pieces of meat or bone. As each bone was picked, it was thrown right into the furnace. The fire and the full moon lit up the scene. Everything left over was burned. When all had been burned or eaten, they congratulated one another and dispersed for the night."

Dean Stanley gives in the supplement of the first volume of his Jewish Church a description of the Samaritan Passover as it was p. 214 witnessed in 1854 by Mr. Rogers, English Consul at Damascus, an account of which was afterwards published in Domestic Life in Palestine, page 281. Dean Stanley himself later witnessed the Passover, and in the same article gives interesting recollections of it. Dr. Daud Katibah, in 1900, gave to Rev. Dr. Samuel Ives Curtis an interesting account of the Passover as he had seen it, which Dr. Curtiss published in the supplement to his Primitive Semitic Religion To-day. http://www.sacred-texts.com/journals/oc/sp.htm

The passover in 2008 is celebrated on Iyyar14, which starts at sundown April 20th. We shall eat the lamb at midnight God willing. We shall also stay awake all night in full obsevance of the festival.

6. But when God had signified, that with one plague he would compel the Egyptians to let Hebrews go, he commanded Moses to tell the people that they should have a sacrifice ready, and they should prepare themselves on the tenth day of the month Xanthicus, against the fourteenth, (which month is called by the Egyptians Pharmuth, Nisan by the Hebrews; but the Macedonians call it Xanthicus,) and that he should carry the Hebrews with all they had. Accordingly, he having got the Hebrews ready for their departure, and having sorted the people into tribes, he kept them together in one place: but when the fourteenth day was come, and all were ready to depart they offered the sacrifice, and purified their houses with the blood, using bunches of hyssop for that purpose; and when they had supped, they burnt the remainder of the flesh, as just ready to depart. Whence it is that we do still offer this sacrifice in like manner to this day, and call this festival Pascha which signifies the feast of the passover; because on that day God passed us over, and sent the plague upon the Egyptians; for the destruction of the first-born came upon the Egyptians that night, so that many of the Egyptians who lived near the king's palace, persuaded Pharaoh to let the Hebrews go. Accordingly he called for Moses, and bid them be gone; as supposing, that if once the Hebrews were gone out of the country, Egypt should be freed from its miseries. They also honored the Hebrews with gifts; some, in order to get them to depart quickly, and others on account of their neighborhood, and the friendship they had with them (Josephus - Antiquities of the Jews book II chapter 14 para 6).. 

Just as Mark and Luke appear ambiguous as to whether the passover was celebrated on Nisan14 the first day of eating unfermented cakes or Nisan15 the first day of the festival of unfermented cakes, so the old testament is likewise ambiguous.

31 At once he called Moses and Aaron by night and said: Get up, get out from the midst of my people, both you and the [other] sons of Israel, and go, serve Jehovah, just as you have stated (Exodus 12).

1 Let there be an observing of the month of Abib [Nisan], and you must celebrate the passover to Jehovah your God, because in the month of Abib Jehovah your God brought you out of Egypt by night [the night of Nisan14 when they started to leave and they left Rameses presumably during the day of Nisan15 sleeping the night of Nisan15 in Rameses].
2 And you must sacrifice the passover to Jehovah your God, of the flock and of the herd, in the place that Jehovah will choose to have his name reside there [near the tent of the tabernacle then in Jerusalem near Solomon's temple then in Jerusalem near Zerubbabel's temple].
3 You must eat nothing leavened together with it [the festival of the passover] for 7 days [thereafter, making the 7 day fesitval of unfermented cakes with occurs together with the pasasover, being the 7 days after the passover]. You should eat together with it unfermented cakes, the bread of affliction, because it was in haste that you came out of the land of Egypt, that you may remember the day of to depart you from the land of Egypt all the days of your life [there are two ways in which this is done. One eats unfermented cakes with the passover meal on Nisan14, and one eats unfermented cakes for 7 days after from Nisan15 to Nisan 21].
4 And no sourdough should be seen with you in all your territory 7 days [of the festival of cakes from Nisan15 to Nisan21], neither should any of the flesh, which you will sacrifice in the evening on the first day, stay all night until the morning [not of  the festival of unfermented cakes but of the eating of unfermented cakes].
5 You will not be allowed to sacrifice the passover in any one of your cities that Jehovah your God is giving you.
6 But at the place that Jehovah your God will choose to have his name reside there, you should sacrifice the passover in the evening as soon as the sun goes down/sets, appointed time/anniversary to come you from Egypt [We know that this was at midnight for that is the hour that Jesus celebrated it].
7 And you must do the cook [not boil as the NWT translates - you cannot boil the passover lamb!] and the eating in the place that Jehovah your God will choose, and in the morning you must turn around and go to your own tents [on Nisan14].
8 6 days you should eat unfermented cakes [Nisan 15-Nisan20]; and on the 7th day [Nisan21] there will be a solemn assembly to Jehovah your God. You must do no work (Deuteronomy 16).

Method of celebration

The presiding priest, who must be a 1NC saint if possible,  must humble himself and must expend himself for the brothers and sisters. He must join in the process of welcoming everyone and taking their coats, showing them to their seats etc. He must do the equivalent of washing their feet. He must not delegate this to a minor deity in his presumptuousness. He must follow the example of Jesus. He must love the congregation. All the 1NC saints should 'enter the house' of the congregation that they will celebrate with on Nisan10 in accordance with the regulations of the passover lamb and following after Psalm Sunday when Jesus entered the temple. This means that the 'house' for each lamb must be defined by Nisan10, which means that various congregations and people must agree where they are going to hold the passover and who will preside by Nisan10. The passover lamb was Jesus' flesh before his death and is his wife flesh, the bodies of the 1NC saints after his death.

Before the meal starts a recital of the precise events of the Last Supper is read out. A speech describing some aspects of these events is made. He should mention that the sons of the 1AC and the 1NC saints and the 2NC saints should keep doing these things in remembrance of Jesus (and John). There are 4 loaves and 4 cups, just as the Jews have always eaten and drunk. They are still acting as God's unwitting prophets!! The first is the FRC (superior to the 1BC), and is eaten and drunk before the meal by all baptised LWs and all others with faith in God as Abraham had. The second is the ARC (superior to the 3BC) this too is eaten and drunk before the meal by all 1NC saints. The third, is the 1AC, and is eaten and drunk during the meal by all baptised LWs and all others with faith in God as Abraham had. The 4th is the 1NC. This is eaten and drunk after the meal by the 1NC saints only. If you drink the FRC then you must also drink the 1AC which respresents an inferior covenant. If you drink the ARC, then you must drink all 4 cups. It is OK to drink the FRC before you are sealed in the law of your conscience and it is OK to drink the ARC before you are sealed in spirit - the apostles did this at the last supper, since they were sealed at Pentecost...

5 because John, indeed, baptized with water, but you will be baptized in holy spirit not many days after this (Acts 1).

In all 4 cases the procedure will be as indicated below:

The priest conducting the celebration gives thanks to the relevant parties who are God, the Angelic Master mediator and the human Blessing mediator and the System mediator and the ransomer of the System mediator (the validation sacrifice of the system covenant), and possibly the submediator (if any) and then blesses the particular loaf (or loaves if there are a lot of partakers) and breaks the loaf and hands the pieces directly only to the partakers of the particular covenant himself. The loaf is not passed from one to another. Then he blesses the wine and gives one partaker the cup of wine, and this partaker then passes it to the next partaker. And so on from one to another among themselves until they have all had some wine. No non partaking person touches this cup to defile it. The priest himself will follow the cup round, topping it up if necessary. Dear reader, can you see the physiological symbolism here? It is beautiful.

The blood is flowing around the body. First the priest defines the stationary parts of the body with the bread. Then the wine, the blood, the moving element of the body, is passed all around them. The cup can go round a second or a third time if necessary until all the wine is drunk. The bread is the body, human or angelic. The blood is the life, the spirit of the validation sacrifice.

The First Cup (1BC)

All baptised LWs and all those with the faith of Abraham in God, can take part in eating the first loaf and in drinking from the first cup.

The presiding priest (who must himself be a 1^st New Covenant Saint if possible. If not then he must be a 2NC saint) first gives thanks to God for making the FRC with Melchizedek. And he gives thanks to Melchizedek, the ransomer, for validating and mediating the 1BC to Adam, the ransomee. And he gives thanks to Adam for mediating the blessing of the 1BC to all of its System mediators. 

Then he says a blessing on the first loaf, asking God to bless it so that it represents the human body of Jared, the validation sacrifice of the 1BC. Then he breaks it and hands a piece to everyone who is in the 1BC, saying words to the effect of: 

"Take eat, this is Jared's human body (who was later known as Melchizedek) given as a ransom for Adam's human body in validation of the 1BC."

All prospective sons of the 1BC eat. This is Melchizedek's first human body, the validation sacrifice for the 1BC (Melchizedek in Jared).

The presiding priest (for this part) then blesses the first cup, asking God to bless it, so that it represents the blood of the 1BC, the blood of Jared who became Melchizedek, the validation sacrifice for the 1BC. And he passes the cup to the first brother/sister saying words to the effect of: 

"Take this and pass it from one to another among yourselves. Drink out of it all of you for this is Melchizedek's blood of the First Blessing Covenant, the inferior covenant to the FRC which has been poured out for the many sons of Adam who find the faith of Abraham, for the forgiveness of their sins as far as the righteous decree in their flesh, which gives citizenship of the Kingdom of God on earth."

The cup is then past clockwise around everyone partaking of it. We are all Adam for the purposes of this covenant. We all drink the blood and eat the body of his ransomer.

Only baptized members of the Lords' Witnesses who are also 1NC Saints (baptised into the JWs at the right time and of the appropriate age) or are also 2NC saints, can take part in eating the second loaf and drinking from the second cup.

The presiding priest (who must himself be a 1^st New Covenant Saint if possible. If not then he must be a 2NC saint) gives thanks to God for making the ARC with Michael. And thanks and to Jesus, the ransomer, for validating and mediating the 3BC to Adam. And thanks to Adam, his ransomee, for mediating the blessing of the 3BC to the various System mediators. 

Then he says a blessing on the second loaf, asking God to bless it so that it represents the everlasting angelic body of Michael, who was Jesus, the validation sacrifice of the 3BC. He breaks it and hands a piece to every LW in the 1NC, saying words to the effect of:

"Take eat, this is Jesus' angelic body, given in ransom of Adam’s associated angelic body in validation of the 3BC, the inferior covenant to the ARC."

The First New Covenant LW brothers and sisters eat (144,000 original saints and 12,000 reserve saints). 

The presiding priest (who must be a 1^st New Covenant Saint) blesses the second cup, asking God to bless it, so that it represents the blood of the 3BC, the blood of Jesus who was Michael, the validation sacrifice of the 3BC. And he passes the cup to the first sanctified brother/sister saying words to the effect of:

"Take this and pass it from one to another among yourselves. Drink out of it all you children of God through the first and the second new covenants, born again by holy spirit, through the eternal fatherhood of Jesus by virtue of the angelic ransom covenant. For this is Jesus' angelic blood of the 3BC, the covenant immediately inferior to the ARC, the angelic ransom covenant, resulting from Michael’s death as an everlasting spirit on 33Nisan14. It has been poured out for all God’s spirit begotten children for the forgiveness of their sins forever. This is so that we can serve Jehovah and Jesus and our brothers and sisters in love for ever."

The cup is not touched or passed to anyone who is not a 1st or a 2nd New Covenant Saint and an LW.

All the 1st and 2nd New Covenant Saints pass this single cup around clockwise and drink from it. Then the Hallel Psalms 113 and 114 are recited one verse per person sequentially round the table  (the recital being optional but nice).

All who are present, whether they are baptized as Lord’s Witnesses or not, can attend and eat the meal and take part in this item. The lamb is placed in a bowl or large dish.

The priest must give thanks for the mediator of the 1NC, Jesus, for giving his blood to wash his wife in. He must bless the lamb to represent the church body of Christ, the 1NC saints. He must consecrate his own body since he himself will be a 1NC saint.

Everyone starts by eating the lamb and the bitter greens (and unblessed unleavened bread an wine). This lamb represents the 1NC saints, the body by covenant of Christ. This lamb does not have to be kept in a house from the 10th to the 14th of Nisan, because Jesus has already fulfilled this. He rode into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, and entered into the temple (his father's house) to throw out the money-lenders on Monday, Nisan 10th, which had started on the Sunday evening. We do not need to ensure that no bones in it are broken etc.  

The meal continues…

The Third Cup (1AC, during the meal)

Whomsoever has faith in God (as Abraham had) can take this third cup since it is the cup of the 1AC, the covenant of faith. All those who partake of the 1st cup must partake of the 3rd cup and vice-versa.

The presiding priest gives thanks to Jesus for ransoming Abraham and validating the 1AC and to Abraham for main mediating the 1AC.

Then he says a blessing on the third loaf, asking God to bless it so that it represents the human body of Jesus Christ, who died for all, the validation sacrifice of the 1AC. He breaks it and hands a piece to everyone who is has faith enough to partake of it, saying words to the effect of: 

"Take eat, this is Jesus' human body given as a ransom for Abraham in validation of the 1AC, so that all those with faith can have a second chance in the Kingdom of God."

All those who wish eat. 

The presiding priest (who must have faith that Jesus is God's son) then blesses the third cup, asking God to bless it, so that it represents the blood of the 1AC, the blood of Jesus, the human, the validation sacrifice of the 1AC. And he passes the cup to the first faithful brother/sister saying words to the effect of: 

"Take this and pass it from one to another among yourselves. Drink out of it all of you for this is Jesus' human blood of the first Abrahamic covenant which has been poured out for the many for the forgiveness of sins."

The cup is then past around anti-clockwise to everyone with faith, everyone in the 1AC, and they all drink. The cup is not touched or passed to anyone who does not wish to partake of it. 

The meal is finished after the loaf of the 1ACnhas been eaten and after the cup of the 1AC has been drunk.

Only Baptized members of the Lords' Witnesses who are also 1NC Saints can take part in eating the 4th loaf and drinking from the 4th cup. 2NC saints do not partake of this cup of the 1NC!

The presiding priest for this part (who must be a 1^st New Covenant Saint and male. A 2NC saint cannot bless this cup) gives thanks to John for validating the JAC and to Jacob for mediating the JAC, and to Jesus for mediating the 1NC. He blesses the 4th loaf, asking God to bless it so that it represents the associated angelic body of John the baptist, the validation sacrifice for the JAC. He breaks it and hands a piece only to those who have been baptized in holy spirit into the first new covenant, saying words to the effect of:

"This is John the baptist's associated angelic body which has been given on your behalf as a ransom for Jacob (who was born without an angelic body, but was given John's associated angelic body by ransom, this being the validation of the JAC)."

The 1^st New Covenant Saints all eat. 

The presiding priest blesses the 4th cup, asking God to bless it, so that it represents the blood of the JAC, which is the blood of the 1NC, its subcovenant, the blood of the associated angel of John the baptist, the validation sacrifice of the JAC. He passes the cup to the 1^st New Covenant Saints saying words to the effect of:

"Take this and pass it from one to another among yourselves. This cup is John's angelic blood (representing his angelic life) of the JAC, the Jacobian Angelic Covenant, which is the system covenant immediately superior to the 1NC. The JAC was validated by the death of John’s associated angel but exists by virtue of Jesus' blood of the 3BC (representing Michael's spirit). Both Jesus’ and John’s blood have been poured out on your behalf." 

The 1^st New Covenant Saints then pass the cup from one to another amongst themselves anti-clockwise and drink from it. Nobody touches this cup or is passed this cup other than the 1^st New Covenant Saints. They should form a visible but closed group by themselves for this.

Sing Praises. And recite the Hallel psalms 115 to 118 one verse per person around the table sequentially (this recital again is optional but nice).

The presiding priest must be a male new covenant saint period. If there is only one left in the world, then the whole world has to come and see him to celebrate this covenant. In 2008 the presiding priest will be a 1NC saint.

The scriptures say that Paul hands on to us that Jesus:

23 In the night in which he was going to be handed over took a loaf … (1 Corinthians 11).

He hands on a date as well as a celebration. The date was Nisan14, the Passover day. The new covenant was initially celebrated whilst eating the Passover meal and together with the First Abrahamic covenant, which must be celebrated with this meal since the wine and the bread are taken during the meal. So the 1AC is to be celebrated once a year along with the Passover meal. But there is no reason to celebrate the New Covenant on any other occasion. So it should be celebrated together with the 1AC once a year on Nisan 14 in the evening and the Passover meal should be eaten with it. This is what the Lord’s Witnesses will do on 2001 Nisan14, God willing (we did - ed).

All new covenant saints are therefore cordially invited to a celebration, that being precisely as Jesus prescribed, has some chance of pleasing the true God. It is not only King Josiah who knew how to celebrate a Passover properly you know:

21 The king now commanded all the people, saying: Hold a passover to Jehovah your God according to what is written in this book of the covenant.
22 For no passover like this had been held from the days of the judges that had judged Israel, nor all the days of the kings of Israel and the kings of Judah.
23 But in the 18th year of King Josiah this passover was held to Jehovah in Jerusalem (2 Kings 23).

Abel offered a lamb on a certain day and God accepted it. From this it is apparent that Cain's offering of some fruits of the ground would not be accepted because it is God who prescribes what he wants offered to him and when he wants it offered. So we deduce that he must have prescribed a lamb for each of the brothers. It is no good bringing him a Van Gough if he has asked for a kid of the goats. And it does no good bringing him a sacrifice on Tuesday when he has stipulated that it should be offered up on a Monday. The whole basis of sacrifice is an acceptance of God's provisions for his offer of mercy, his offer of forgiveness of our sins. Things are no different with the Last supper. We must celebrate it in the way that God has stipulated through Jesus and we must celebrate it on the day which he has prescribed. Since we have no evidence for any day of celebration other than the Passover day, Nisan14, we must celebrate it then and only then. 

This one day a year celebration timetable can also be deduced from the symbolic meaning of the Passover Celebration. We must not celebrate this festival every day of the year as they do in St. Paul's Cathedral in London - not that they have any idea what they are doing in their celebration and neither are any of them 1NC saints. A plastic charade of false piety in the case of the church and a misguided flock in the case of the congregation.  

The Symbolism of the Passover

3 Speak to the entire assembly of Israel, saying, On the 10th day of this month they are to take for themselves each one a sheep for the ancestral house, a sheep to a house.
4 But if the household proves to be too small for the sheep, then he and his neighbor close by must take it into his house according to the number of souls; you should compute each one proportionate to his eating as regards the sheep.
5 The sheep should prove to be sound, a male, a year old, for you. You may pick from the young rams or from the goats.
6 And it must continue under safeguard by you until the 14th day of this month, and the whole congregation of the assembly of Israel must slaughter it between the 2 evenings.
7 And they must take some of the blood and splash it upon the 2 doorposts and the upper part of the doorway belonging to the houses in which they will eat it.
8 'And they must eat the flesh on this night. They should eat it roasted with fire and with unfermented cakes along with bitter greens.
9 Do not eat any of it raw or boiled, cooked in water, but roast with fire, its head together with its shanks and its interior parts.
10 And you must not leave any of it over till morning, but what is left over of it till morning you should burn with fire (Exodus 12).

Here is the symbolism in tabular form:
