DID JESUS VIOLATE TORAH ON THE EVE OF HIS DEATH?

Today, the entire world observes an historical event that changed the course of human history.  Even the Stock Market is closed in observance of the day!  And in consideration of the significance of the events leading up to the death and resurrection of one Jewish man 2,000 years ago, it is curious to note that a violation of the Torah appears to have taken place at the hands of this very same Jew which would, according to Torah scholars, invalidate His legitimacy to be the Jewish Messiah!

Torah requires that every Jewish home in preparation for Passover bring a lamb into its confines and inspect it for four days, looking for blemishes.  The Passover lamb must be perfect--no flaws.  This corresponds to the four separate interrogations given to Yeshua Jesus culminating in Pontius Pilate's pronouncement of "I find no fault in this Man!"  He was absolutely flawless according to the Law.  

At the time of the Passover Seder, just as it was at the original event in the day of Moses, the lamb is killed.  As ordained by God through the prophet, the blood of the slain Passover lamb was applied over the doorposts and lintel of each home for the purpose of deliverance from impending death.  Then, the lamb was prepared and consumed at the Seder meal. And for the next 1,500 years, this Law was observed .... That is, until the ultimate Passover Seder (the Last Supper) would reveal the long-awaited Messiah of Israel.   What happened at that Last Supper changed the Law for all time!

"And the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, when the passover 

was to be killed, His disciples said to Him: Where shall we kill the Passover?  

He sent two of them saying, 'Go into the city and there you will meet a man 

carrying a pitcher of water.  Follow him  ... He will show you a larger upper room 

furnished and prepared ..." ~ Mark 14:12-15

Yeshua had already prepared the meal; and later that night when His disciples consumed the Passover, the Torah requirement was satisfied because Jesus was the perfect

Passover Lamb.  It was Jesus Himself Who was consumed because John the Baptist has already revealed him as "The Lamb of God Who takes away the sins of the world."  At that fateful Seder meal, there was no need to prepare a separate traditional Passover as prescribed by Law because Jesus Christ presented Himself as the sinless Lamb of God to be consumed. It was the seal of the wedding Ketubah of His New Covenant for His Bride.  Today, we call it "Eucharistic Communion."

And though it might appear to the blind eyes of observant Jews and the doubting hearts of unwilling skeptics that Jesus Christ could NOT be the Messiah because He violated the Torah by not preparing a substitute, when the spotlight of the Holy Spirit is illuminated, the evidence--like the Passover Lamb--is flawless and Torah was fulfilled.   It is finished!

POLITICS CONTROLLED BY SPIRIT OF ANTICHRIST

RELIGION and POLITICS--Those Taboo subjects! 
Both take donations to finance their operations.  Both make covenant with the Government to obtain tax-free status. Both exercise positions of power over people.  And both are governed by the same evil spirit! Religion and Politics are by-products of the Doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which is a Spirit of Antichrist. This is the same spirit that will rule the world as the ultimate politician and religious leader at the end of the age. This spirit of politics and religion is evident in the Biblical account when Israel rejected God as its King and demanded an earthly leader like everyone else:

"So all the elders of Israel gathered together and said to the prophet Samuel: 

“You are old, and your sons do not follow your ways; now appoint a KING to lead us, such as all the other nations have. But when they said, Give us a king to lead us, this displeased Samuel.  So he prayed to the Lord. And the Lord told him: 

• Listen to all that the people are saying to you; it is not you they have rejected, but they have rejected ME as their King.  As they have done from the day I brought them up out of Egypt until this day, forsaking me and serving other gods, so they are doing to you.  Now listen to them; but warn them solemnly and let them know what the king who will reign over them will claim as HIS rights."  ~ 1st Samuel 8

The first king of Israel was Saul--a good man who, at first, loved God and served Israel. But an evil spirit came upon him (1st Samuel 16:14) and caused mental instability, fear, jealousy and paranoia.  He was obsessed with killing his son-in-law, David, and eventually committed suicide.  When David became King, an evil spirit of adultery and murder came upon him and brought a curse to his family.  When Solomon became king, he was embued with Godly wisdom; but an evil spirit of idolatry and greed led him down the path to destruction. 

The current Presidential Campaign is rife with jealousy, fear, paranoia, anger, hostility and aggression.  Candidates who initially appeared competent, professional, desiring to make positive changes, began to exhibit irrational behaviors.  As the tension escalated, the behavior worsened, revealing the same evil spirit of those who millennia ago desired to be King. 

Alongside all of this political degradation, the lust for power and authority is manifesting in the Church!  The same political spirit has led many of its leaders to irrational behaviors including worldly performance; drama, dance and theatrical entertainment; strobe-light, smoke-filled concerts; celebrity speakers and performers; revenue-generating commercialism; competition for members as displayed by the International Hillsong Church. "By their fruits you shall know them."

A more publicized example of an infecting spirit of politics can be seen in this video from a Bethel Church service, depicting a home-grown invention called the Fire Tunnel.  Bethel, located in Redding, CA began as a traditional Assembly of God congregation in 1954.  But a decade ago, its leadership broke ties with the denomination and instituted its own hierarchy. Soon, bizarre doctrines and behaviors began to manifest as the evil spirit of antichrist infected the ministry and manifested at what can only be described as strange fire:

EVIL SPIRITS IN THE SANCTUARY

Power corrupts absolutely!  Whether it's a campaign for political office or the ambitious Nicolaitan ascent up the ladder of the Corporate church, the Spirit of Antichrist (A.W. Tozer) controls, corrupts and influences those who submit themselves to this spirit of rebellion against the authority of the KING of KINGS!
