Here is where the months for each year will begin. without this things could not be timed perfectly by God. The way it turns out so far off into the future shows why God could give the early churches the book of revelations. Even now the book is still prophesy the future.
v.11 this will be the ordinance of the passover being kept in perfect timing. Why this was done was so the Exodus would shadow the same as a deliverance from sin and bondage to the world.
1Cor. 5:7 we see this picture as Christ our passover---he was the Lamb of God slain for us on the alter of the cross.
v.17 also there is the unleavened bread In the ceremonial passover which is held even now we see the matza bread . This act was where the son would look for the hidden matza bread Dad hides. There were 3 pieces this was the 2nd one. it was in a folded napkin. When Jesus rose from the dead he took the napkin which covered his face and folded it and laid it neatly on the place. Jesus in Jn. 6 is called the bread of life. unleavened bread represents truth. Jesus says beware of the leavened bread of rhe Pharisees.
12:46 Not a bone of the lamb shall be broken. This was done during pass over.
Jn. 19:36 not a bone in Jesus body was broken. He is the Lamb.
Ps. 34:20 David says he keeps all his bones not one of them is broken. Jesus had already given up the Ghost which was a miracle in itself.
Col. 2:14-17 read these and see that all these things as ordinances were to lead to Christ not have to do them anymore the way they did. Now we take the bread and cup.
to make clear Israel's deliverance from Egypt pictures our deliverance from sin and the world. All these things hid from Israel till after the cross. That is why the O.T. is so hard to understand. It is for the Holy Spirit to reveal.
