The Upper Room and the 4th Cup of Passover

This video takes us back to the Upper Room in Jerusalem as Time Travelers on the night the Lord Jesus Christ observed the Passover, or Last Supper, with His disciples. This video is not based upon traditions, but upon Scriptural records and 1st century documents.

The focus is upon the four ceremonial cups taken during this Passover meal that represent the events in Egypt when the Lord's delivered His chosen nation from bondage. These cups also represent spiritual deliverance and salvation from the bondage and penalty of sin. While Christians appropriately focus upon the unleavened bread and the 3rd Cup of Passover that represents the Lord's body and His shed blood, they often missed the fact that the Lord did not partake of the 4th Cup that night. By doing this we Ignore or misunderstand what Paul meant when he said that this observance of Lord's Table is to continue "...till He come" (1 Cor. 11:26).

Without an understanding of the Passover meal as observed that night, and the significance of the 4th Cup, the Lord's Table (Communion) can not be fully understood. By following the thread that permeated the Lord's teaching through the four cups during the Passover meal that night, we gain a far greater understanding of God's plan for His kingdom.

At the meal's end, the Lord left the 4th Cup empty and not taken. Because it looks forward to His 2nd coming and rule as Messiah-King. Most Bible commenters either ignore or unaware that this cup is one of the most significant aspects of the Passover and the Lord's Table.

Please join us now as we consider this 4th Cup and it present and future significance for believers.
