God’s Little Hummingbird: Bible Time (Messianic )

Passover: Not Just for Israel

·1 hr 11 min·5 clips

Exodus 12:47-49 proves the Passover was never just for the Jews, opening it to Gentile believers from the very beginning.

The episode is a Zoom-based Bible teaching session hosted by Melissa Schilling-Smith for God's Little Hummingbird. It begins with an opening prayer focusing on purification and humility. The host then engages participants in reading scriptures, starting with Ephesians 2:19 about believers becoming citizens in God's household. She argues that the Torah applies equally to all believers, not just Jews, using Exodus 12:47-49 to show Passover was open to Gentiles from the start. The narrative follows the Exodus story, explaining that Egypt symbolizes sin and the Passover lamb points to Yeshua. Key moments include the mixed multitude crossing the Red Sea with Israel, demonstrating God's inclusion of Gentile believers. The host discusses Caleb, a Gentile who became a leader in Judah, and Joshua as the only two to enter the Promised Land. She uses grafting analogies from gardening to describe how believers are incorporated into Israel. The episode addresses tensions between Messianic Jews and returning Ephraimites, warning against arrogance. Scriptures like Jeremiah 31 and Ezekiel 36 are read to explain the New Covenant as being for Israel and Judah, with the Spirit enabling obedience to Torah. The host critiques both Christian and Jewish legalisms, advocating for a middle path of faith and truth. The study ends with a summary of the spiritual journey from bondage to covenant citizenship.
