This is one of the best explanations of the Passover feast I’ve heard—from a Messianic Jew and true brother in Christ!
Amir’s teaching is both theologically sound and firmly grounded in Scripture, especially when compared to the “rubbish” promoted by certain branches of the Hebraic Roots movement (HRM), which insist that believers must continue observing the Passover and other Old Testament feasts.
What stands out is how Amir draws a clear connection to the Lord’s Supper—the one tradition instituted by our Lord that truly points us back to the Passover Lamb who was sacrificed for us.
The reason neither Jesus nor the apostles commanded the Church to continue observing the seven feasts is because those feasts were shadows of what was to come. Their fulfillment is found in Christ, who is the substance.
Not once did the Lord command the Apostles to teach the church to observe all seven feasts, nor did Paul instruct any of the churches to do so.
As a matter of fact, Paul emphatically wrote:
“These are a shadow of the things to come, but the substance belongs to Christ.” – Colossians 2:17
And in the book of Hebrews:
“For since the law has but a shadow of the good things to come instead of the true form of these realities, it can never… make perfect those who draw near… For it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.” – Hebrews 10:1–4
I thank God for this season, during which He led me to study biblical Hebrew, guided me through many of the false teachings circulated online, and opened my eyes to how some believers have been misled by proponents of Judaism infiltrating our churches—drawing people back to the 'shadow' rather than holding fast to the 'substance,' who is Christ.
This explanation by Amir—being both a Jew and a believer—has been a eureka moment for me. It sheds light on the central theme of Paul’s epistles and the book of Hebrews, which confront the same issue: the danger of returning to the old covenant shadows when we have the fullness of Christ.
Amir has explained it more clearly that I could ever do. I have not followed Amir Tsarfati's teachings, but with this one video, I fully concur with his explicit explanation about the Passover.
Let us be awakened and edified by this message from Amir!
This is a two-part video series recorded at Seremban Life Assembly, where I attempted to contextualise the preaching of book of Romans using the imagery of an ancient Chinese old man seated under a tree, engaging in a conversation with a young boy.
