EP: 414 The Sixth Day: Creation, the Fall and the Crucifixion with Rabbi Jason Sobel

It's Good Friday, and we're going deep into the cross, the empty tomb, and the connections hiding in plain sight all over scripture. Messianic Rabbi Jason Sobel, author of "Transformed by the Messiah," sits down to reveal how God encoded the story of redemption from the very first word of Genesis. Rabbi Jason unpacks why Jesus died on the sixth day, the same day man was created and fell, why the veil in the temple was a barrier guarded by cherubim just like the entrance to Eden, and why it tore from top to bottom. He traces the Passover lamb from Abraham's near sacrifice of Isaac to the third cup at the Last Seder, and reveals that when Jesus offered Himself on the cross, He had every person who would ever believe in Him in His mind, because no one could eat of the Passover lamb unless the one offering it was thinking of them. Rabbi Jason also shares his extraordinary testimony of encountering Jesus during meditation as a young Jewish man in New Jersey who thought "Christ" was a last name. From the Hebrew letter Vav, shaped like a nail reconnecting heaven and earth on the sixth day, to the number eight representing the supernatural breakthrough of the resurrection, to the tomb and the womb being the same Hebrew word because both are portals, this conversation will transform the way you read the Easter story. - Learn more about your ad choices.
