How Many Times Can You Have Your 1st Passover?

How many times did the children of God come back to Him to have their “First” Passover?

1. Moses~Exodus 12:14 “This is a day to remember. Each year, from generation to generation, you must celebrate it as a special festival to the LORD. This is a law for all time.”
2. Josiah~2 Kings 23:21 “King Josiah then issued this order to all the people: "You must celebrate the Passover to the LORD your God, as required in this Book of the Covenant."
3. Ezra & Nehemiah~Nehemiah 8:12 “Nehemiah said, "Go and enjoy choice food and sweet drinks, and send some to those who have nothing prepared. This day is holy to our Lord. Do not grieve, for the joy of the LORD is your strength."
4. Now You~1 Corinthians 5:7 “Get rid of the old yeast, so that you may be a new unleavened batch--as you really are. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed.”

Nehemiah 10~The Covenant of Faith

The people who separated themselves from the world renewed their covenant with God. All who had knowledge and understanding promised to walk in God’s Law which was given by Moses. They promised to observe all the commandment of the Lord our God and I think it’s important to note that they started observing the 4th Commandment. Nehemiah 10:31 says that the world wanted to buy and sell on the Sabbath but the people of God refused to buy and sell. They kept the Sabbath holy and they also left the produce alone on the seventh year while releasing anyone from debt.

The people who were serious about separating themselves from the world and being chosen people of the Lord obeyed the Law of God and brought in their first fruits of the ground and trees every year, grain, new wine, and oil. That’s how the Levites survived because they didn’t get a portion with the people of God. God was their portion so the Levites would give 10% of what they got from the people to the temple of the Lord to be put in storage.
