Passover and The Open Doors

Passover has arrived and with it many amazing opportunities. It is the year 5774 on the Hebrew calendar. It is known as the year of the open doors. How appropriate is that, since Passover was the time when the children of Israel applied the blood of the Passover Lamb to the door of their homes, so that the death angel would pass over them.

Jesus is our Passover Lamb and in this year of the open doors, we know He is more than able to protect us from all evil, provide a way of escape for us from our enemies, and provide for our future. Do you trust Him with this completely?

Not only is tonight Passover, but it is also a rare occurrence of a blood moon. Now, this is nothing to be afraid of, but we should take notice of the seasons and the times we are living in. There is something uniquely significant to this time. Let's view it as a time to seek the Lord and all that He has planned for us in this season as He leads us through the open doors that He has placed before us.

This is a time of expectancy! This is a time of no more delay! Just read Ezekiel 12:21-28 (NIV).

There Will Be No Delay

21 The word of the Lord came to me: 22 “Son of man, what is this proverb you have in the land of Israel: ‘The days go by and every vision comes to nothing’? 23 Say to them, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I am going to put an end to this proverb, and they will no longer quote it in Israel.’ Say to them, ‘The days are near when every vision will be fulfilled. 24 For there will be no more false visions or flattering divinations among the people of Israel. 25 But I the Lord will speak what I will, and it shall be fulfilled without delay. For in your days, you rebellious people, I will fulfill whatever I say, declares the Sovereign Lord.’”

26 The word of the Lord came to me: 27 “Son of man, the Israelites are saying, ‘The vision he sees is for many years from now, and he prophesies about the distant future.’

28 “Therefore say to them, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: None of my words will be delayed any longer; whatever I say will be fulfilled, declares the Sovereign Lord.’”
