Throughout Your Generations, a Christian Seder

By Garry Glaub

Why is a Christian Seder necessary? Exodus 12:14 states, "So this day shall be to you a memorial; and you shall keep it as a feast by an everlasting ordinance." Certainly, the Torah is highly significant to Jews, and the Feast of Unleavened Bread applies directly to the children of Israel, beginning on the night that began their journey from Egypt to the Promised Land. Yet the Old Testament is also significant to Christians. While many Christians focus more on the New Testament, we also understand that the Old Testament is the New Testament concealed while the New Testament is the Old Testament revealed. It all points to Jesus, including the ceremony of the Seder at Passover. Jesus is in every aspect, and "Throughout Your Generations" explains that, while giving explicit instructions in how to lead a Christian Seder of your own. This includes a Haggadah, an explanation of each part of the Seder and a step-by-step process of how to proceed. It is certainly a Seder for dummies, and for geniuses, too.

Dedication:

This book is dedicated to the one-third mentioned in Zechariah 13:8-9:

⁸ And it shall come to pass in all the land,"

Says the LORD,

"That two-thirds in it shall be cut off and die,

But one-third shall be left in it:

⁹ I will bring the one-third through the fire,

Will refine them as silver is refined,

And test them as gold is tested.

With about 15 million Jews currently populating the earth, that would mean 5 million would be saved today! In the Great Tribulation, when God pours out His wrath upon a sinful earth, there will be a remnant. Though not the majority, this minority of His chosen people, will acknowledge that Yeshua did come as the Messiah. My love and prayers remain with many Jewish people that God has brought into my life. I ache in my heart for them to find Him as their Messiah, for He is the God who saves.

To my Jewish friends and the LORD who is ready, willing and able to save them all!

Prologue:

Why is a Christian Seder necessary? Exodus 12:14 states, So this day shall be to you a memorial; and you shall keep it as a feast to the Lord throughout your generations. You shall keep it as a feast by an everlasting ordinance. Certainly, the Torah is highly significant to Jews, and the Feast of Unleavened Bread applies directly to the children of Israel, beginning on the night of their journey from Egypt to the Promised Land. Yet the Old Testament is also significant to Christians. While many Christians focus more on the New Testament than the Old Testament, we also understand the statement that the Old Testament is the New Testament concealed, while the New Testament is the Old Testament revealed. It all points to Jesus!

That may be offensive to Jewish people, especially those who continue to wait for the promised Messiah. Yet sadly, most Jews today seem to be atheistic or agnostic, and remain Jewish by culture rather than by religion. One man espousing that belief said an agnostic Jew is one who knows exactly how to worship the God he does not believe in. There are over 300 Old Testament prophecies about the Messiah that Jesus fulfilled in His birth, life and death. Mathematicians have calculated that for only eight of those prophecies to be fulfilled, the odds would be 1 in 100,000,000,000,000,000, (1017). To give that a point of reference, if we counted the number of seconds in 3.17 billion years, it would be close to that number.

Yet when Jesus came, most Jews did not see Him as the Messiah, or acknowledge Him as the Messiah. Why not? Many of the Old Testament prophecies pointed to the Messiah as the coming King. Because of that, people had great difficulty seeing the poor son of a carpenter, who espoused love and humility, as the Son of God! While many prophecies speak of the first coming of the Messiah, many others speak of His second coming. First, He came as the suffering servant, but when the Messiah returns, He will come as
