I realize those of us celebrating Passover have just a slight issue as to when everyone should be doing it properly. Of course, the answer to that is a collective, "when I do it." That's not really my point, although I can see why Y'hshuwah said, "the day nor the hour knows no man . . ." Just the threads on Facebook indicate none of us know what day it is . . . again not my main point.
The White House hosted a Passover Seder Monday night, so "nationally" that would make today not a Holy Day, but one to be set apart and certainly tomorrow, the first day of Unleavened Bread, beginning at sundown, this evening. My thought here is two fold. One, since Washington said it was last night, I almost had second thoughts about my own observance, but persevered.
As I read the newsfeed, there is a lot going on in Washington DC today regarding the Supreme Court and marriage. There is some sort of Christian march against the issue before the Court, and they are trying to prove their point using Old Testament passages. I can't help but take note that this would not be happening on Christmas or the 4th of July, but it's happening on Passover. The topic is interesting too, because Passover references the marriage supper of the Lamb.
Do you suppose just for a moment or two, as we have removed the leaven from our lives and speak of being blood bought and celebrate life over death, if we'd just all collectively celebrate what we say we believe? Since the White House hosted a seder, what if Passover became a national holiday and Washington DC as well as Christians treated it like all the other holidays? . . . just askin . . .
