Double Portion Inheritance: Two Lamb Sacrifices on Passover for Two Houses of Yisra’el (04/12/2012)

Once we understand the “Two House” dichotomy, all confusion and conflict goes away about whether or not our Messiah actually ate the Passover the night before he died! Ephrayim was born in Egypt. Jeremiah 31:9 says “Ephrayim is my firstborn.” There were two slaughterings that took place at the first Passover. First was the sacrifice of the lambs for the firstborn of Yisra’el (Judah) and then there was the sacrifice for the firstborn of the Egyptians. Those Egyptian babies went to eternity to be with YHWH. They were his firstborn also who were grafted into the House of Ephraiym. All those firstborn children who belong to YHWH are his. When the firstborn of the Egyptians died, it caused the other Egyptians to repent and want to leave Egypt with the children of Yisra’el. By YHWH taking those firstborn Egyptians, it brought about repentance for the Egyptians who left and became Yisraelites. Caleb was from the House of Judah and Joshua was from the House of Ephraiym--the Two Spies who gave a good report! Two Flocks of YaHuWaH required Two Slaughterings! This was always the pattern with Passover, which is why it is “beyn ha’ereb” (between the two evenings). At Messiah’s fulfillment of Passover, there were the lamb sacrifices the evening before he died, and then the next evening there was another batch of lambs slaughtered while he hung on the tree. His sacrifice outside of the camp as the Red Heifer sanctified the altar for the second slaughtering of lambs for the House of Ephrayim. Ephrayim defiled the altar of his heart with idols and that is why YaHuWShuWA had to become the Red Heifer for Ephraiym. Thousands were making pilgrimage to Jerusalem to slaughter their lambs. It would be absurd to think that they could slaughter thousands of lambs in only one 4 hour window of time (from 12 noon to 3:00 p.m.). Since the Pharisees and the Sadducees could not agree on the Calendar, there were two evenings of slaughtering lambs for Passover. Messiah fulfilled both evenings. The first evening he ate the Passover with Judah (for they had not left the covenant yet until the next day when the shouted Crucify him!). And then the next evening he actually became the scapegoat (the innocent party who takes the blame for the guilty party). He died in place of Ephrayim (the lost sheep).
