Q & A
What is the significance of the 'Code of the Passover' as discussed in the script?
-The 'Code of the Passover' refers to the deeper, hidden significance of Jesus’ death and resurrection, particularly in relation to Jewish sacrificial traditions. The script explores how Jesus’ sacrifice marked the end of the need for animal sacrifices in the Jewish faith, especially on Yom Kippur, after AD 30.
How does the script connect the death of Jesus to the Jewish sacrificial system?
-The script explains that after Jesus' death in AD 30, God no longer accepted sacrifices for sin on Yom Kippur, as confirmed by several signs. These include the failure of the crimson strap to turn white, the extinguishing of the Western lamp in the Temple, and the doors of the Temple opening by themselves. These signs marked the end of the sacrificial system, which had previously been central to Jewish atonement rituals.
What were the four miraculous signs that indicated the end of the sacrificial system?
-The four signs include: 1) The lot for the Lord not being drawn with the right hand, 2) The crimson strap used during the Yom Kippur sacrifice never turning white, 3) The Western lamp in the menorah extinguishing, and 4) The doors of the Temple opening by themselves. Each of these signs symbolized the rejection of the sacrificial system after Jesus’ death.
Why is the date of Jesus' death, AD 30, significant in this context?
-AD 30 is significant because it is identified as the year when Jesus died and was resurrected, marking the end of the sacrificial system in Jewish tradition. The script links this date with the failure of the signs associated with Yom Kippur sacrifices, as well as with the prophecy of the destruction of the Temple in AD 70.
How does the script use the Talmud to confirm the cessation of sacrifices after Jesus' death?
-The Talmud is cited in the script to show that for 40 years before the destruction of the Temple in AD 70, key ritual signs — including the lot for the Lord, the crimson strap, and the Western lamp — no longer functioned as they once had, symbolizing that God no longer accepted sacrifices for atonement after Jesus’ sacrifice in AD 30.
What is the 'scapegoat' ritual and how does it relate to Jesus' sacrifice?
-The scapegoat ritual involved two goats: one was sacrificed to atone for the sins of Israel, and the other, known as the scapegoat, carried the sins of the people and was released into the wilderness. The script connects this ritual to Jesus by suggesting that Jesus' death fulfilled the role of both goats — He became the final sacrifice and the one who bore the sins of humanity.
How did the opening of the Temple doors relate to the death of Jesus?
-According to the script, the doors of the Temple opening by themselves during the last 40 years before the destruction of the Temple (AD 30-70) symbolized that the division between the holy and the common was no longer valid after Jesus' death. Jesus' sacrifice tore the veil in the Temple (Luke 23:44-45), allowing direct access to God for all people.
What role does the prophecy of Daniel 9:26 play in this teaching?
-Daniel 9:26 is used to confirm that the Messiah would be 'cut off' (i.e., crucified) before the destruction of the Temple. The script ties this prophecy to Jesus' death in AD 30 and the subsequent destruction of the Second Temple in AD 70, asserting that Jesus' death was the fulfillment of this prophecy.
Why was the failure of the crimson strap to turn white a significant sign?
-The failure of the crimson strap to turn white was traditionally seen as a sign that God had accepted the atonement sacrifice for Israel's sins. The script explains that after AD 30, the strap never turned white, signaling that God no longer accepted sacrificial atonement, confirming the finality of Jesus’ sacrifice.
What is the meaning behind the tearing of the Temple veil at the moment of Jesus' death?
-The tearing of the veil in the Temple at Jesus' death symbolized the removal of the barrier between God and humanity. Prior to this event, only the high priest had access to the Holy of Holies, where God's presence resided. Jesus’ death opened the way for all people to have direct access to God.
