THIS IS AN EDITED/EXCERPT OF THE PASSOVER PROPHECIES FROM CHUCK PIERCE
THIS IS THE WEEK OF PASSOVER (APRIL 15-23, 2022; TODAY IS APRIL 17TH.)
THE CELEBRATION OF JESUS THAT GOD GAVE US IS CALLED PASSOVER.
THE NEW TESTAMENT TELLS US THAT JESUS IS THE PASSOVER LAMB. WHEN JOHN INTRODUCED JESUS, HE SAID, “BEHOLD! THE LAMB OF GOD WHO TAKES AWAY THE SIN OF THE WORLD (JOHN 1:29)!”
PAUL SAID, “CHRIST, OUR PASSOVER LAMB, HAS BEEN SACRIFICED (1 CORINTHIANS 5:7).” IN REVELATION 4 & 5, WE SEE ALL HEAVEN JOINING TOGETHER IN WHAT IS ESSENTIALLY A HUGE PASSOVER CELEBRATION HONORING JESUS AS THE LAMB OF GOD WHO WAS SLAIN!
CELEBRATING PASSOVER IS CELEBRATING JESUS. AS THE PASSOVER LAMB, HE SHED HIS BLOOD TO REDEEM US FROM THE ENEMY. WHEN HIS BLOOD IS “ON THE DOORPOST” OF YOUR LIFE, GOD DELIVERS YOU FROM THE DESTROYER.
PICTURE IN YOUR MIND WHAT TOOK PLACE ON THE ORIGINAL PASSOVER NIGHT: THE FATHER OF THE HOUSE TOOK THE BLOOD FROM THE PASSOVER LAMB AND PUT IT IN A BOWL. HE WENT TO THE DOOR OF HIS HOME, DIPPED A BRANCH OF HYSSOP INTO THE BLOOD, AND APPLIED IT TO THE DOORPOSTS OF THE HOME. THEN HE DIPPED THE HYSSOP INTO THE BLOOD AGAIN AND REACHED UP TO APPLY BLOOD TO THE LINTEL AS WELL.
NOW STOP AND PICTURE WHAT IS TAKING PLACE. FIRST, THE FATHER TAKES THE BLOOD DIPPED HYSSOP BRANCH AND MOVES IT FROM SIDE TO SIDE TO APPLY BLOOD TO BOTH DOORPOSTS. HE THEN LOWERS THE HYSSOP DOWN INTO THE BOWL AND REACHES UP OVER HIS HEAD TO APPLY BLOOD TO THE LINTEL. CAN YOU PICTURE IN YOUR MIND WHAT THIS ISRAELITE FATHER IS DOING AS HE STANDS BEFORE THE FRONT DOOR OF HIS HOME? IT’S A GESTURE YOU’VE PROBABLY SEEN ROMAN CATHOLICS DO! EVERY FATHER IN ISRAEL STOOD IN FRONT OF HIS HOUSE AND MADE THE SIGN OF THE CROSS IN THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB. WHAT A DRAMATIC PICTURE OF JESUS! GOD’S DELIVERANCE ALWAYS COMES BY HIS CROSS AND BY HIS BLOOD.
CONSIDER THIS AGAIN: PASSOVER IS SO IMPORTANT TO GOD THAT HE CHOSE TO HAVE THE MOST IMPORTANT EVENT IN HISTORY—THE DEATH AND RESURRECTION OF JESUS—TAKE PLACE AT THIS TIME. GOD WENT TO GREAT LENGTHS TO CONNECT THE SACRIFICE OF JESUS TO PASSOVER.
YET SATAN HAS MANIPULATED AND TWISTED THE MINDS OF MEN REGARDING PASSOVER, BECAUSE SATAN HATES THE POWER THAT IS RELEASED WHEN WE CELEBRATE JESUS AS THE PASSOVER LAMB. DEREK PRINCE SAID THE MOST POWERFUL DECLARATION A BELIEVER CAN MAKE FOR DELIVERANCE IS THIS: “I AM REDEEMED BY THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB OUT OF THE HAND OF THE ENEMY!”
THE ROMAN EMPEROR CONSTANTINE LEGALIZED CHRISTIANITY. HE HAD NO ISSUE WITH A CELEBRATION OF JESUS’ RESURRECTION—WHICH WE NOW CALL EASTER—BUT HE OUTLAWED PASSOVER. CONSTANTINE’S GOAL WAS TO REMOVE JESUS FROM THE CONTEXT OF PASSOVER.
THE BATTLE FOR PASSOVER IS CLEARLY SEEN THROUGHOUT CHURCH HISTORY. THE COUNCIL OF ANTIOCH (AD 345) SAID THIS: “IF ANY BISHOP OR DEACON WILL DARE, AFTER THIS DECREE, TO CELEBRATE PASSOVER, THE COUNCIL JUDGES THEM TO BE ANATHEMA FROM THE CHURCH. THIS COUNCIL NOT ONLY DEPOSES THEM FROM MINISTRY, BUT ALSO ANY OTHERS WHO DARE TO COMMUNICATE WITH THEM.” (THE WORD ANATHEMA MEANS, CURSED. THE CHURCH ACTUALLY PRONOUNCED A CURSE ON CHRISTIANS WHO WOULD CELEBRATE PASSOVER.).
THIS IS WHY MANY CHRISTIANS EVEN TODAY DON’T UNDERSTAND THE SIGNIFICANCE OF PASSOVER. YET THROUGHOUT THE BIBLE, WHEN PASSOVER WAS RESTORED, GOD’S BLESSING, POWER AND JOY WAS RESTORED ALSO.
CHUCK PIERCE STATES IN HIS BOOK, THE PASSOVER PROPHECIES, THAT WE ARE IN A NEW SEASON OF WAR. WE ARE MOVING FROM A CHURCH ERA TO A KINGDOM ERA. THE YEARS BETWEEN 2019 THRU 2026 ARE MOST CRITICAL. DURING THESE 7 YEARS, WE WILL SEE A GREAT REARRANGEMENT OF ECONOMIC AND SPIRITUAL POWER SHIFTS. OUR GREAT WARFARE IS TO OVERCOME THE THREEFOLD CORD OF SATAN THAT CONSISTS OF POVERTY, INFIRMITY AND RELIGION COMING AGAINST THE BODY OF CHRIST AND ALL THE NEW THINGS GOD WANTS TO DO IN THESE 7 YEARS.
CHUCK PIERCE SAYS THAT THIS NEW GENERATION MUST RISE UP AND WAR FOR ALL THE PROMISES THAT HAVE BEEN REDEEMED OR PAID FOR BY THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST.
WE ARE CALLED TO POSSESS, SECURE AND PROTECT OUR INHERITANCE.
WE ALSO MUST REMEMBER THAT THE OLD METHODS OF DOING THINGS WILL NOT PROPEL US INTO THE FUTURE. THE LORD ASKS THE QUESTION IN MATTHEW 9:17, “WHO PUTS NEW WINE INTO OLD WINESKINS?” THIS IS ONE OF THE WILES OF THE ENEMY—TO HOLD US CAPTIVE IN THE LAST MANIFESTATION OF GOD BY CAUSING US TO LIVE IN THE PAST RATHER THAN MOVE INTO THE BEST THAT GOD HAS FOR OUR LIVES.
THIS IS HOW WE BECOME ENTRENCHED AND ENAMORED WITH PAST GLORY—OUR EGOS. HOLD ON TO IT, AND THE ENEMY TAKES ADVANTAGE. INSTEAD, GOD IS CALLING US TO LET GO SO HE CAN TAKE US INTO THE NEW SEASON. STOP LOOKING BACKWARDS IN LONGING TOWARDS THE “LEEKS AND ONIONS OF EGYPT (NUMBERS 11:5).” THE LORD HAS DELIVERED YOU FROM BONDAGE, AND YOU NEED TO WALK FORWARD FROM YOUR PASSOVER!
