Passover. It’s the most Christian feast I know. And Resurrection Sunday
SID: Pesach,
Passover. It’s the most Christian feast I know. And Resurrection Sunday?
The most
Jewish feast I know.
You heard me correctly. We’ve been conned all these years, supernaturally.
Can ancient secrets of the supernatural be rediscovered?
Do angels exist? Is there life after
death? Are healing miracles real?
Can you get supernatural help from another dimension?
Has
the future been written in advance? Sid Roth has spent 30 years researching the strange world of
the supernatural.
Join Sid on this edition of It’s Supernatural.
SID: Hello. Sid Roth here.
Welcome to my world where it’s naturally supernatural.
When a
Christian looks at Passover, the Christian says, “I don’t see anything Christian in Passover.” And
when the Jewish person looks at Resurrection Sunday they say, “I don’t see anything Jewish
about Resurrection Sunday.” Could there be a diabolical reason to keep these two people groups
separate, especially in light of the Book of Ephesians, which tells us the reason Jesus came was
to break down this middle wall of separation between Jew and Gentile to form one new man? Is
there a reason to separate these two groups, because the result will be, Paul goes on to say about
this one new man, the reason Jesus came was to break down the wall of separation between Jew
and Gentile to form one new man, one new humanity, one new special being, because this will
form the dwelling place, or the complete dwelling place for God. I say there is a diabolical
reason.
That’s why I’ve asked my guests, Bob and Janie DuVall to be with me.
They’re on
staff, The Messianic Vision and It’s Supernatural.
And Bob comes from a gentile.
Janie comes
from a Jewish background, a perfect example of the one new man. I say that Resurrection
Sunday is the most Jewish feast in the world. I say that Passover is the most Christian feast in the
world.
Let me give you a couple of examples. For instance, four days before Passover they take a
lamb, an unblemished lamb, a lamb without broken bones.
And isn’t it interesting? Not one of
the Messiah’s bones were broken, because if the bones were broken this would not be an
acceptable lamb.
So four days before they inspect this lamb to make sure that it’s perfect without
blemish. Four days before Passover the Sanhedrin inspected Jesus to see if he had any blemishes
on him.
At Passover the lamb is killed. At Passover Jesus died. At Feast of Unleavened Bread
Jesus was buried. At First Fruits, Jesus rose from the dead. The thing is so Jewish. Janie, tell me
a bit about feast.
JANIE: You know, people will say, “Okay, that’s really nice. The Feast, Jesus fulfilled itself.
Okay, that’s for back then.” But there’s very supernatural about the Feast. In Leviticus it says
God calls it “My Feasts.” He calls the feasts holy congregation rehearsals. The first church, I’m
sorry, the Jewish believers, they knew that they were expecting Messiah to come. A lot of them
were in the first church. They were rehearsing the spring feasts. Jesus was the fulfillment of the
spring feasts. We have to be rehearsing the feasts for the Second Coming. And so that’s why
they didn’t miss it back then. But there’s something very supernatural. This week is Passover,
and it’s very supernatural to celebrate the feasts. I mean, again, God calls it “My Feasts”. It’s not
the Jewish feasts. There are very supernatural things on those days that happen. When we
rehearse those feasts, Pesach, Passover, when they ate, when the Israelis ate the whole lamb they
were totally physically healed. So when we’re rehearsing Passover and we’re having that
appointment with God, we’re rehearsing the healing. And the other feasts, then you have when
he’s resurrected three days later, Jesus is resurrected. That’s the First Fruits. But 50 days later
2
which were leading up to that time, that’s the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, Shavuot. That feast,
Pentecost, people were having dreams, visions, miracles.
SID: Well you know what’s so amazing to me is God says, “These are My feasts.” In the
Hebrew, the word “feast” means appointments. I mean, there’s a Hebrew word. It’s called
meshuga, crazy. You’d have to be meshuga. You’d have to be crazy to miss an appointment with
God. He promises to attend. Bob, tell us about the Last Supper or what Christians called
Communion and we Jews call a Passover Seder.
BOB: Absolutely. Well to put the Last Supper in context, it happened, like you said, during a
Passover Seder, the Last Supper. And let’s look back at the first Passover. What happened? Well
they were, the Jewish people, Israel was instructed to kill the lamb, to put the blood on the door
post and to eat the whole lamb. And what was the result? Well their first born was protected and
they were brought out of slavery. They were set free from bondage. And it also tells us in Psalm
105, “God brought them out with silver and gold. There was great provision for them.” And also,
it says, “There was none feeble among them.” So I think that one of the things that many of us
miss when we take Communion, because we don’t understand the full context of the Passover
and what Yeshua did for us is everything that he provided for us in that he provided healing. “By
his stripes,” by Jesus’ stripes we were healed and we know about forgiveness of sin. But then
also, this financial provision there were all sorts of things that Yeshua, Jesus provided when he
sacrificed himself as the Passover lamb. Everything was pointing toward Jesus. Everything was a
shadow, and when he came he said this to his disciples at that Passover, that Last Supper, “This
is my body. This is my blood of the New Covenant” and announced that he was what everything
was pointing toward.
SID: You know, Bob and Janie, what I believe is we take Communion, which is very Jewish. I
even know the prayers that Jesus prayed at that Last Supper, that Passover Seder, because we
Jewish people do it every year. The Messiah took the grape juice and he took, and by the way,
according to the Talmud, it doesn’t say “grape juice”. It says “wine” and it not only says “wine”
it says “red wine” because the red wine represents the blood of the Messiah, and the matzah
represents his broken body. As we participate in this right now watch what God is going to do in
your physical body. Watch how God is going to touch you. [Hebrew] Thank you, Lord, for the
bread that you’ve given us, your body that was broken for us. And when his body was broken for
us, his blood shed, and this wine represents the blood of the Messiah. In the Book of Leviticus
17:11 says, “I’ve given the blood upon the altar as atonement for your sin. It is the blood that
makes atonement for your sin.” [Hebrew] There are six blessings in participating in what the
Messiah did for us. I want to pray a blessing over you that Moses was given from God Himself
for Aaron to pray over the Jewish people so that His name would be on the Jewish people. “The
Lord bless you and keep you. The Lord calls His countenance to shine upon you and be gracious
to you. The Lord grant you His shalom.” That’s his completeness in your spirit, in your soul, and
in your body, in the name of the Sar Shalom, the Prince of Peace, Yeshua, [Hebrew], Jesus the
Messiah, our righteousness. Jesus is coming back soon. Don’t go away. You come back after this
word and you’ll find out why.
We’ll be right back to It’s Supernatural.

We now return to It’s Supernatural.
SID: Hello. Sid Roth here with Bob and Janie DuVall. There is a phrase called “The fullness
of the gentiles” that most people don’t understand. And if I was a gentile that believed Jesus was
the Messiah I would understand this. I would want to understand this. Bob, what does “fullness
of the gentiles” mean to you?
BOB: Well it comes from, the timing of it comes from Luke, Chapter 21, where Jesus said,
“Jerusalem will be trampled down by the gentiles until the time of the gentiles is fulfilled.” Well
that’s important to me as a gentile to know what that timing is. And in 1967, Israel, in the Six-
Day War, took possession back of Jerusalem, and it has been in Jewish hands. So the exciting
thing is we are in the time of the fullness of the gentiles. We go to Romans 11 and Paul said what
happens at that time. And he said, “The blindness that has been on many of the Jewish people
comes off.” So we’re looking forward to, in this time now that we’re living in, the blindness
coming off and multitudes of Jewish people coming to know their Messiah, Jesus.
SID: So what you’re saying is there’s two things to look for to know that we’re at the fullness of
the gentiles. First, that Jerusalem would be in Jewish possession. Check. Jerusalem, ’67, as Bob
said, in Jewish possession. Two, the spiritual scales come off of the eyes of Jewish people. Now
I have lived, when I became a new Jewish believer in the Messiah, I have lived in the period of
time where the spiritual scales came off the eyes of Jewish people. Every week I saw Jewish
people coming to the Lord. But then it just gradually diminished. So I know the difference
between normal times and when the spiritual scales are off. Something new is going on.
Something so exciting it absolutely proves we’re at the fullness of the gentile age. It absolutely
proves that the Messiah is ready to come back. And this is what I have seen. I rented a secular
auditorium in Brighton Beach, New York, Brooklyn, New York. In a ten-block radius there’s
100,000 Soviet Jews. And we advertised, “Lecture on the Supernatural”. And Bob, you were
there and I was shocked about how many people showed up to that lecture.
BOB: It was close to 400, Sid, and it was amazing. It was a lot of fun.
SID: But what was even more exciting, Bob, was in the middle of the lecture, a woman gets out
of a wheelchair.
BOB: That’s right.
SID: And starts walking. Her attendant stands up and says, “I’ve never seen this woman.” And
there was just a rush, a move of the Spirit of the Living God, and when that occurred, close to
400 Soviet Jews made professions of faith. The blindness is coming off.
JANIE: Okay, so now you’re talking about Soviet Jews, but how about plain, old American
Jewish people?

SID: Okay, that’s the acid test, Janie. So I went to a suburb of Los Angeles, Oxnard, California.
We rented a hotel room. We ran ads in the Jewish press saying, “Lecture on the Supernatural, no
charge, and many people that attend the lecture will be healed.” Well something so wonderful
happened. This is plain, old American Jews. Close to 400 of them showed up again. I mean, this
is unprecedented. This to me is the fullness of the gentile age. And the minute I started speaking,
God had what are known as supernatural words of knowledge, and I spoke them out, and
something like 30 of them stood up. They didn’t know what was going on. It was just “Lecture
on the Supernatural”. Nothing about religion, nothing about Jesus, nothing about God. “Lecture
on the Supernatural”. They stood. Thirty of them stood up. They said they were instantly healed.
I had their undivided attention and then I told them about the Messiah’s death, burial and
resurrection. And 30 stood up in front of everyone and made professions of faith, 30 Jewish
people. These are unprecedented.
JANIE: This is the sign of the times.
SID: I believe we are at the fullness of the gentile age. Get your seatbelt a little tightened. We’re
going to really go for the greatest outpouring of miracles when you understand as we come back.
Be back in just a moment.
We’ll be right back to It’s Supernatural.

We now return to It’s Supernatural.
SID: Hello. Sid Roth here with Bob and Janie DuVall. And Paul says in Corinthians, “First
the natural, then the spiritual.” And it is so amazing looking at natural Israel and then seeing
when God deals with natural Israel first, there is a repercussion on the church. Janie, explain that.
JANIE: Well there is a connection with natural Israel. There’s a connection with the feasts. The
year 300, everything Jewish that was with Christianity, they stopped it. They took the feasts out
and at the exact same time miracles stopped. But then, now we’ve heard and other people have
heard about this, in 1948, when Israel became a nation it was at the exact same time that we had
the healing revival of A. A. Allen, William Branham. But in 1967, we had the Six Day War and
we have the charismatic renewal. It’s an outpouring of miracles. There’s a connection of the
supernatural. 1973, we had the Yom Kippur War and we had a healing revival going on with the
vineyard movement. But I did more research and it’s so exciting. I found out that it started way
back, and probably back even further. 1830, there was this man named Lewis Way, and he said,
“We’ve got to start praying for a Jewish nation.” Well at the exact same time, there was churches
that started talking about, “We need to move in miracles.” It was happening at the same time.
1840, a whole bunch of Jewish people immigrated to the Holy Land. At the exact same time
Maria Woodworth-Etter was born, who had a healing ministry of incredible miracles, and we
still read her writings today. 1896, Theodore Herzl, he had a plan for creating a Jewish state, the
birth of Zionism. At the exact year, Alexander Dowie had a healing ministry and the healing
ministry was in a city called Zion, Illinois. I mean, it goes on and on.

BOB: It’s so clear that there is supernatural connection between Jew and gentile, the Jewish
people and the church. And, you know, we were talking a little bit ago about how the blindness
is coming to the Jewish people. They’re coming into the body of Messiah. Well that’s even more
exciting for the gentile as well, because Paul says in Roman 11, “When the Jewish people come
back into the body of Messiah it will be life from the dead.” And that’s exactly what the body
needs today.
SID: For sure. And as a matter of fact, it begs the question, what’s gonna happen next to Israel?
Therefore, what would the repercussion be for the church? This is what I believe. There is going
to be discovery of oil in Israel. Oil represents the Holy Spirit. And when Israel discovers oil we
are going to see just such an outpouring of God’s spirit. Actually, someone was just healed.
Someone’s neck was just healed. Someone’s back, just talking about Jewish people.
JANIE: A goiter is leaving right now. A goiter is leaving and eyes are opened right now. And
actually, there’s someone, you have this ringing in your ears. The ringing is leaving right now.
SID: And God has just told me that someone’s back is fine. It’s being straightened. This is
something that you must, must understand. There is one sin that will trigger judgment, and this
sin, according to the prophet Joel, in the third chapter, “Nations will be divided over one sin,
dividing up the land of Israel.” And what will the repercussion be for dividing up the land of
Israel? The repercussion is going to be dividing up the land of the United States. Two prophets,
John McTernan and John Kilpatrick, both saw the same thing. Let’s look at it.
John M.: In the center of the United States there’s a massive fault called the New Madrid fault,
and it has the potential of literally, like ripping right through the center of the country. It will be
greatest disaster ever to hit America.
John K: When I dreamed of an earthquake that took place, the Lord showed me the earthquake
was gonna hit in the middle part of the country right where the New Madrid fault is. What the
Lord was showing, I believe, that if we continue to fool with Jerusalem and our secretary of state
and our president keeps putting pressure on Israel to give up land and to give up Jerusalem for
peace, I believe that a major earthquake is gonna strike America.
SID: Why is there such a diabolical strategy plan to divide Jews and Christians? I’ll tell you
why. John 17:21: “I pray,” Jesus said, “I pray that they,” and there were only two people groups
there at that time, Jew and gentile. “I pray that they, Jew and Gentile, might be one.” What’s the
repercussion? “So the world will believe.” And what is going to happen? John 17:22: “The same
glory that is on me, that is on Jesus is going to be on them. When the two come together the
same glory that is on Jesus will have the full dwelling place of God.” I have a dream. I see all of
the churches in the city renting a coliseum for, let’s say, Passover, Resurrection Sunday, and all
of the Christians come together, more people than a Super Bowl, more important than a Super
Bowl. I see dancing before God. I see worship before God. I see the last Passover Seder, the Last
Supper before God. I see a release of miracles like the world hasn’t seen. And Christians will not
come together for celebration of Resurrection Sunday and Passover because they have to. They’ll
come together because God says it is a set appointment that He promises to show up. It’s not a
“have to”, it’s a “get to”. And when the two become one this is what
