The Old Testament is the shadow, Christ Ahnsahnghong explained the reality.

THE SHADOW: When the Israelites were slaves in Egypt, Jehovah gave them the Passover. Because they kept the Passover, they were freed from slavery and did not have to face death.

THE REALITY: While the disciples were slaves to sin in this world, Jesus Christ gave them the new covenant Passover. Because they kept the Passover, they were freed from slavery to sin and death. (Luke 22:7-20, Matthew 26:17-28, Romans 6:23, John 6:54)

THE SHADOW: The Israelites kept the Passover (at the appointed time) in the second year after they came out of Egypt.

THE REALITY: The apostles of the early church kept the new covenant Passover (at the appointed time).

THE SHADOW: The Israelites stopped keeping the Passover. Because they did not keep the Passover, many died in the desert, unable to see the land God had promised them.

THE REALITY: Beginning in 325 AD, Roman Emperor Constantine abolished the Passover and instituted communion. No one was allowed to keep the Passover. Because of this, many would die in their sins. Without eternal life, their spirits would also perish, unable to see the Kingdom of Heaven.

THE SHADOW: "At that time the Lord said to Joshua, Make flint knives and circumcise the Israelites again." (Joshua 5:2) The Israelites kept the Passover again. After keeping the Passover, that very next day, they were able to enter the land of Canaan.
