But the imagery is gets even more interesting. The first was killed and sacrificed for the sins of the people just like Jesus was on the cross. In Leviticus 16:29-34 we have another type of Christ called the "goat of atonement" and the "scape-goat" The priest took two goats.
(Thus the reason why it is called the "Passover" feast.) The blood of the Christian's Passover lamb is for the forgiveness of sins, so that when Judgment day comes, we will not be destroyed in Hell. The blood of the Jewish Passover lamb was to be painted on the outside of the door so that when the death angel came to destroy all of Egypt, he would "Passover" that house and not kill the occupants. In the same manner the Christian's "Passover lamb" had no bone broken as prophesied in Ps 34:20 and fulfilled in Jn 19:33-36. The Jews were not allowed to break any bones of the lamb when they ate it: Ex 12:46 + Num 9:12. They had the same meaning: (A memorial: Passover was to remember Egypt, while the Lord's Supper, to remember Christ's death Ex 12:26/1 Cor 11:25) Each feast used a young, innocent and perfect lamb: (Ex 12:5/ John 1:29 1 Pe 1:19) The Jews were to eat the flesh of the Passover lamb Ex 12:8, while Christians are to eat the flesh (bread) of Christ (1 Cor 11:27).
Both the Passover feast and the Lord's supper have many things in common. The Lord's Supper (communion) is the New Testament corresponding type to Christ. The first Passover feast eaten by the Jews in Egypt was to become a memorial feast for the people. The Passover lamb is actually the type of Jesus as the lamb of God. We are most familiar with Jesus being likened unto a lamb. Jesus is liken in the Old Testament to many types. The symbol was the physical incense, the real meaning was literal prayer. When you pulled out the paper, the letters were mere type images of the original antitype.įor example, the incense of the Old Testament tabernacle in the Holy Place was an type of the prayers (the antitype) of the saints. When this hammer hit the paper through the ink ribbon, it left an image of the antitype.
