Moreover Josiah kept a passover unto the LORD in Jerusalem: and they killed the passover on the fourteenth day of the first month.

2 Chronicles 35:1 (Spoke 14, Cycle 1)

The supernatral integration of the Passover with the geometric structure of Scripture is astounding to behold. The Lord God Almighty declared the fourteenth day of the first month to be the Passover of the Lord. The graph below shows the distribution of the word "passover" througthout Scripture. It is significantly maximized on the fourteenth Spoke of the first Cycle:

Distribution of 'passover' on the Wheel

The integration between the Passover and its date (the Number 14) is extensive. It begins in Genesis 14, which contains the first occurrence of the Number 14 in all the Bible. The integration continues with the debut of both the word "Hebrew" and "Melchizadek," the Priest of the Most High God who brought forth Bread and Wine (the Eucharist) which is the Christian revelation of the true meaning of the Passover! Note also that the name of the first month, Nisan, is a Nun KeyWord. A traditional Jewish understanding of the word Nisan and its relation to the letters Nun and Samekh can be found in Josh Zweiback's article The True Miracle of Passover This link takes you off the Bible Wheel site and opens a new window.

Explicit reference to the Passover appears in two books on Cycle 3, 1 Corinthians (Spoke 2) and Hebrews (Spoke 14). These are represented by the small green bars in the graph above. The perfection of placement of these references is astounding. These numbers correspond to the book in which the Passover was introduced (Exodus, Spoke 2) and the book in which the word Passover is maximized in the Bible (Spoke 14, 2 Chronicles), which corresponds, of course, to the date it was celebrated! And beyond this, the Book of 2 Chronicles also contains the unique record of the Passover celebrated by the faithful King Hezekiah, which itself selected by an Alphabetic KeyLink as discussed in Freewill Offerings.

Yet there is still more. The verse from Hebrews declares the things Moses did in his pilgramage of Faith. We read (Hebrews 11.28):

Through faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of blood, lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them.

Nearly identical language is found in 2 Chronicles 33.11:

And they killed the passover, and the priests sprinkled the blood from their hands, and the Levites flayed them.

Searching all seven versions for the set (passover, sprinkl*, blood) [Verify] yields only these two verses. We have the KeyLink:

Now the really astounding fact is that the one other occurrence of "passover" on Cycle 3 in 1 Corinthians (spoke 2) is itself linked to Exodus (Spoke 2) with its own KeyLink, as discussed in the article Christ our Passover. Endless wonder!
