The Second Passover. Why? When?

The Second Passover.

We have the First Passover which is the 14th day of the first month of the Hebrew Calendar

This year the First Passover begins on the Evening of the 8th of April at the Full Moon.

There is a Second Passover though for the people that did not keep the First Passover. The scripture describes about the people that didnt partake in the first Passover for whatever reason, but God said that they shall keep the Passover.

Numbers 9:9-10

And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If any man of you or of your posterity shall be unclean by reason of a dead body, or be in a journey afar off, yet he shall keep the passover unto the Lord.

But they shall keep the Passover at a different time. the Scripture says:

Numbers 9: 11-12
The fourteenth day of the second month at even they shall keep it, and eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.

They shall leave none of it unto the morning, nor break any bone of it: according to all the ordinances of the Passover they shall keep it.

So very simply they keep the Passover on the next month. On the fourteenth day of the SECOND Hebrew month at evening of the Full Moon.

In a war situation how can any man be at Home? they will all be on a Journey away from their families, they maybe defiled by a dead body or blood. So if Israel was at war really the Passover should delayed until the Second Passover.

Just one of these deeper things of God that it would be worth being aware of.

God Bless you all.
Amen
