We will focus on the Last Supper and we will see how knowing ancient Egypt enhances our understanding of not only the Passover meal of Israel but how it helps us see the Last Supper, the Passover meal of the Messiah, in a deeper and more intense way.
Another concept we will study is the Jewish Seder. What is a Seder and when did it develop? You will be amazed to see that Jesus NEVER did a Seder and, even the Jewish people prior to 70 A.D., never did a Seder. Again, we are dealing with real history and we will see that...

Another concept we will study is the Jewish Seder. What is a Seder and when did it develop? You will be amazed to see that Jesus NEVER did a Seder and, even the Jewish people prior to 70 A.D., never did a Seder. Again, we are dealing with real history and we will see that the Jewish Seder that we know today had its beginnings in Jesus' day and before. But, Jewish sources show clearly that the Seder was established after 70 A.D. as a response of the rabbis to figure out what to do now that the Temple was destroyed and they could not do the Passover meal as commanded by God in the place He commanded, in Jerusalem. After 70 A.D. Passover and the Appointed time of Unleavened Bread was not a pilgrimage event any more. Now the rabbis sad you could do it in your house anywhere to keep the feast alive. On top of that we will also see that Jesus did not do a Passover meal as commanded in Exodus 12. His meal was something unique and distinct but it was only understood in light of the Passover meal.
