Jesus prayed. He also expected three of His disciples, not even to pray, but to watch while He prayed. Soon, after He was weary, “He came unto the disciples, and found them asleep, and said unto Peter, ‘What, could you not watch with Me one hour?’” (Mat 26:40)
Jesus was human as He was and still
is God. Jesus dreaded death. He prayed that God would take the ‘cup’ from
Himself and give it to another. The ‘cup’ from which Judas sopped, stopped with
Jesus. Jesus did not drink of it then; the crucifixion was effectually His ‘Last
Supper.’ What is considered the Last Supper was Judas’s last time to
sup. The Last Supper of mankind was the crucifixion itself, wherein believers
supped on the real Body and Blood of Jesus.
It should be plain, “And supper
being ended, the Devil having now put into the heart of Judas
Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray Him” (John 13:2). Supper was over; the
Passover Meal was supper for them. The next events to come were after
supper. Then there was a foot-washing (John 13:5), then after a long
conversation about who would betray Him, Judas sopped:
Jesus answered, “He it is, to whom
I shall give a sop, when I have dipped it. And when he had dipped the sop, He
gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon. And after the sop Satan entered
into him. Then said Jesus unto him, “That you do, do quickly.” (John 13:26-27)
Judas was to eat with Jesus. However,
Jesus did not eat of the last, Last Supper. He watched Judas sop and to eat the
vicarious “Body’ and ‘Blood’ of Jesus. When Judas ate, Satan ate with him, not
Jesus. It was symbolic of Satan’s last supper.
Soon to come was that Judas betrayed
Jesus. It was really a betrayal by Satan in Judas. Then, Judas hung himself on
a tree with Satan within him, and in the Book of Acts, Judas fell from
the tree, and his insides burst, to wit: “Falling headlong, he (Judas) burst
asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out” (Acts 1:18). That
fulfilled the Adamic Covenant, “The Lord God said unto the serpent, ‘Because you
have done this, you are cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the
field; upon your belly shall you go” (Gen 3:14).
After Satan’s last supper, on his
belly he did go… out of the belly of Judas. The ‘Serpent’ was the Satanic being
inside of Judas. In like manner, since the Image (Selem in the Hebrew)
of God is His phantom, the image (nahas) of Lucifer was also a phantom who
came unto the body of Judas.
Jesus did not eat any of Satan’s
supper. Jesus would soon become the ‘Supper.’ He asked His Father to pass the cup
from Him. Jesus was the ‘cup’ that held the most precious ‘wine’ ever — the very
Blood of God.
Neither did Jesus eat or drink at the
crucifixion; Jesus was given nothing to eat, “They gave Him vinegar to drink
mingled with gall: and when He had tasted thereof, He would not drink” (Mat
27:34). Jesus was the meal at the ‘Last Supper.’ The real Passover meal was not
what the apostles were served, but when the world was served Jesus on a ‘platter,’
which the Holy Cross signified.
Jesus said to eat and drink in
remembrance of Himself (Luke 22:19), but His Body had yet to be pierced nor His
blood let. They were to eat in remembrance, not of that meal, but God serving
His own Body and Blood the next day. The eucharist of the Last Supper is not partaken
to remember the last supper of Judas with Satan in him, but the Last Supper
that was served right before the Sabbath began for God to rest after He served.
Does communion celebrate the meal or
the crucifixion? It is more likely that communion, serving the vicarious Body
and Blood of Jesus, is remembrance of Jesus whose very purpose is revealed by
His Name — ‘Ya(hweh) saves.’ How did God save mankind? By serving
Himself to any who would come to the ‘supper table,’ the Holy Cross.
Returning to the prayer of Jesus, could
they not wait even one hour, not praying but just watching? They could not even
remain vigilant to guard against the ‘Adversary,’ Satan, while He prayed for
one hour?
Satan did kill God because Christians
were not sober and alert. As Jesus said, those who killed Him knew not what they
were doing! (Luke 23:34). The multitude and the centurions were not out to kill
Jesus; the centurions were only following orders and the multitude were
cheering them on, acting like the brutes they were. It was Satan out to get
Jesus and everybody else were influenced by the wicked spirit that had gone from
Judas.
Of course, God was killed, but He did not
die. The Spirit of God removed itself from the Body of God. They could only
kill the Body of God but not His Soul, the Holy Spirit. The crucifixion of
Jesus emptied the ‘cup’ filled with the Holy Spirit. God did not die, only His
cup was emptied to share His Spirit with the world to save us brutes from the
Devil.
No other ‘cup’ would do. Jesus was the
only Way by which man could be saved. Jesus Himself was the ‘silver chalice,’
not the cup from which Judas sopped the Blood of Jesus from the Body of Jesus.
Satan, in the body of Judas, knew what
was going on when he sopped. Wink, wink; that meal was when Jesus was vicariously
crucified by Judas and Satan. The apostles were all ‘asleep’ as Satan slipped
in unawares to share his meal. Judas and Satan were the ‘one’ with the greater
sin that Jesus revealed to Pilate. They took of the Body and Blood of Jesus unworthily…
“Whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily,
shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord” (1 Cor 11:27).
The traditional ‘Last Supper’ was Judas
with Satan in him, as one, who took the bread and cup unworthily by dipping the
‘Body’ of Christ in the ‘Blood’ of Christ. The ‘unworthy’ are those who partake
of the wine and bread without understanding that they are the vicarious Body
and Blood of Jesus that man was served at the Crucifixion.
We have not been taught that; we have
been taught that Judas ate the sop during the ‘Last Supper,’ missing the point
that supper was over before the spiritual meal was served. Many fail to understand
that communion does not celebrate the after-supper meal, but the Body and Blood
that God would serve to everyone on Calvary.
The real 'Silver Chalice'
