The Four Cups of Wine

THE BLOOD OF YAHUSHUA

The Blood of the Lamb made the Passover possible (Exodus 12). We know that YAHUSHUA’s Blood, as HE is the true Lamb of GOD, has bought our freedom and it is our ONLY Salvation. At the Last Supper, YAHUSHUA taught us that the Passover wine was a symbol of HIS Blood, the Blood of the New Covenant, poured out for many for the remission of sins; that as often as we would drink of it, we should remember HIS Sacrifice.

Taking time during the Seder to sing traditional Passover songs, but also traditional songs and hymns about the Blood of YAHUSHUA is definitely worthwhile. Songs such as “There is Power in the Blood”, “Now Behold the Lamb”, “Nothing but the Blood”, “There is a Fountain”, “The Blood will Never Lose it’s Power” among others about the Cross and the Blood are good choices. You may spontaneously add songs into your Seder through the night. We suggest adding such songs while going over any or each of the “Four Cups”. (See more on the Four Cups later in this booklet).

THE FOUR CUPS and the cup of Elijah

Traditionally in the Passover Seder four cups of wine or grape juice are consumed throughout the Seder though this is not mandated by YAHUVEH, but YAHUSHUA is recorded as having used wine as an integral part of HIS Seder. Here, we must add GOD would NEVER tell you to get drunk, intoxication must be avoided. We suggest replacing the wine altogether with juice if there is an issue. The Four Cups are said to represent the four types of redemption ABBA YAHUVEH uses in describing the Jews’ exodus from Egypt as written in Ex. 6: 6-7. These four cups also represent the Blood of YAHUSHUA. Therefore, instead of full cups, we highly suggest either giving small symbolic portions (like 1 tablespoon) for each of the “Four Cups”, or dilute the wine in a pitcher - ready to pour. Watered down wine or grape juice may be preferable to regular wine. (Ancient wine did not have the alcohol content it has today and it was the custom of the Ancient Romans, Greeks and Israelites to dilute their wine several times over. Also remember that yeast, which is prohibited during Passover, is what gives wine a high alcohol content).

*In the gospels, YAHUSHUA is recorded as taking the wine at least twice, once before and after the Passover meal. It is important to realize that participating in a Passover Seder for a Messianic Jew contains the elements of communion and you must examine your heart as you would otherwise do.

There is also a 5th cup of wine called, “The Cup of Elijah.” This cup is poured but not drunk and the door opened in anticipation of the coming of Elijah the Prophet to announce the MESSIAH, the MASHIACH, YAHUSHUA. The Prophet Elijah is considered the bearer of good tidings of joy and peace. The name of Elijah is associated with the coming of the MASHIACH, whose advent Elijah is expected to announce. We read: “I will send you the Prophet Elijah before that great and dreadful day of the LORD comes. He will turn the hearts of the fathers to their children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers;” (Malachi 4:4-6a)

Jewish tradition has it that Elijah visits every Jewish home at the Seder and sips the cup. When Israel was exiled from the land, the cup of Elijah was filled, but not drunk. It remains on the table as a sign of ABBA YAHUVEH’S further Messianic promise of renewal. YAHUSHUA said of John the Baptist in Mark 9:13 & Matthew 11:14:

“And they asked HIM (YAHUSHUA), ‘Why do the teachers of the law say that Elijah must come first?’
YAHUSHUA replied, ‘To be sure, Elijah does come first, and restores all things. Why then is it written that the SON of YAHUVEH must suffer much and be rejected? But I tell you, Elijah has come, and they have done to him everything they wished, just as it is written about him.’” “For all the Prophets and the Law prophesied until John. And if you are willing to accept it, he is the Elijah who was to come. He who has ears, let him hear.”

“Elijah has come” - This was true in the person of John the Baptist who heralded YAHUSHUA’S coming when HE came to earth 2000+ years ago. Scripture promises that as John the Baptist was sent with the anointing of Elijah to prepare the way for the LORD YAHUSHUA’s First Coming, Elijah would also come to prepare the way for the Return of the LORD. Who is this End Time Elijah, a person, with the mantle of the first Elijah of Old, like John the Baptist?

“Remember the law of my servant Moses, the decrees and laws I gave him at Horeb for all Israel. “See, I will send the prophet Elijah to you before that Great and Dreadful Day of the LORD comes. He will turn the hearts of the parents to their children, and the hearts of the children to their parents; or else I will come and strike the land with total destruction.” (Malachi 4).


Elijah of New?

Prophet Elisabeth Elijah, whom YAHUVEH used to birth this ministry, not only carries the same birth name as the Prophet Elijah of Old, but also carries the same anointing: calling YAHUVEH’s children back to HIM; calling on the LORD GOD by HIS NAME, YAH, rather than as Ba’al (“Lord”) only; reminding us to remember the Law of Moses primarily as seen the Two Greatest Commandments: to love GOD first, and to love our fellow man; returning us to all the 10 Commandments including GOD’s Shabbats; and like John the Baptist, preparing the way for YAHUSHUA and preparing a people to be ready for HIM, or else, face HIS Wrath. Here you may read an excerpt of a prophecy given to her in the year 2004:

Re-read all the Prophecies and you will see for many years I have called Elisabeth MY Elijah of New. Yes, her legal maiden name is Elijah, but that is not the reason I have done this. She only recently learned the reason and it is more than sending her to the widows of Zarephath to test them. And they know it not for their famine has not yet come, it is not just this reason as stated in many of the prophecies I have spoken through her. I audibly spoke to her on Passover, [that year falling on] April 5 (one day after her birthday) and told her, awakening her with the words she did not understand and only through this message will understand more fully “You are MY Ring maiden.”

Verily I say unto her and you with spiritual ears to hear and listen. I, YAHUSHUA call her MY Elijah of New and reveal these secret revelations given to her straight from Heaven to be a blessing unto her as well as the true Bride of YAHUSHUA ha MASHIACH. Just as Elijah of Old knew when to expect YAHUVEH's horse drawn Chariot of Fire to catch him away to Heaven and he knew the exact time and day and was prepared and warned Elisha in advance to watch him. Elijah of Old is the shadow of what will happen with the Bride, so why would I do any less for the Bride of YAHUSHUA? (Prophecy 76, “Beloved Bride of YAHUSHUA, Arise and Prepare Yourself for Your Bridegroom Doth Come!”)

When that Prophecy was given in 2004 and for the years following, Elisabeth Elijah did not know that: John the Baptist was also born during the Passover season according to the study of the New Testament Gospel accounts coupled with the Old Testament Levite Temple service rotation. Some believe he was born during the Passover, the 14th-15th of Adar; neither was she aware of the long standing tradition of the Jewish People to await Elijah’s ‘return’ during this time, as displayed in the tradition of opening a door for Elijah during the Passover Seder as the Fourth Cup, the Cup of Restoration, and the Cup of Elijah are poured and blessed.

Elisabeth Elijah was also born during Passover time and coincidentally, AmightyWind Ministries was also founded at the same time. Elisabeth Elijah does not claim to be anyone special and will always be the first to say “I’m the weakest of the lot” as GOD has also called her this. But, we know GOD uses the most humble, the most powerfully. We do not claim Elisabeth Elijah is the reincarnation of Elijah of Old, he has not literally returned. However, we do believe Elisabeth Elijah is a significant end time prophet, and carries Elijah of Old’s mantle, just as John the Baptist did before her. Therefore, GOD calls her HIS “Elijah of New”. Read Prophetic Words concerning an “Elijah of New” given throughout the years:

I have warned through this prophetic handmaiden as I told Elijah of Old to speak forth and confront the prophets of Baal so I now use MY Elijah of New to do the same... MY Elijah of New speaks forth MY Words (Prophecy 38 – The Walls of Jericho will Fall Again).

I am YAHUVEH and I anointed Elijah of Old as I have anointed MY handmaiden who I call MY Elijah of New. You will be held responsible whether you are a blessing or a curse to her. I am anointing her to speak forth prophetic messages that few would dare to speak in fear of ridicule, but those who dare to mock, and deny this is "I AM" speaking know this, you have stuck a finger in I, YAHUVEH's eye. Don't believe ME just wait and watch and see if what I have prophesied comes to pass, then it will be too late, for those that curse and deny her now, woe unto those that dare to test I, YAHUVEH (Prophecy 58)!

I have sent you forth for years now and send you as MY Elijah of New to the widows of Zarephath in America and around the world and they knew not they were destitute for the time had not come but now it will soon be upon them. The ones in the store that did not like you and did not pray with you, nor help you, instead mocked the messages I have given you will be those that will suffer when the evil befalls this earth in a way it has not been shown before (Prophecy 66).

What will be your excuse when you stand before I, YAHUVEH in the not too distant future? You have been warned; those that bless this Jewish Handmaiden bless not only her but I, YAHUVEH and MY SON YAHUSHUA. Elisabeth is the one I call MY Elijah of New. I, YAHUVEH have sent her to the Widows of Zarephath and they know it not. You who refuse to help in this worldwide harvest field have no financial needs now, but you shall. I sent Elijah of Old to be a blessing to one widow, though the land was full of widows from the drought and famine. I knew in advance of a widow that would need a blessing and was willing to share her last meal with a prophet named Elijah even though she believed she and her son would eat it and die. She lived and was financially blessed and her cruse of oil did not run dry. I, YAHUVEH desire to do the same for you. It is no accident you have come to this Ministry and are reading these words now (Prophecy 75).

Hear O' Israel, Jerusalem and the rest of the World, as it is written, the one you call John the Baptist prepared the way for MY Son YAHUSHUA so it shall be again as MY Elijah of New prepares the way for the return of YAHUSHUA to rule and reign on earth like HE did in Heaven (Prophecy 87).

Jezebel tried to kill all MY Prophets and failed, and will always fail. Just as Elijah of Old I made a way of escape, so too I protect MY Elijah of New (Prophecy 92).

In 2008 [and beyond] the Prophetic Messages that will come forth will only grow stronger, with stronger meat for the Holy to eat. [Starting] in 2008 there will be a war like none other for it will be the true Holy Prophets standing just like Elijah did, Elijah of Old did and prophesying and exposing and destroying the prophets of Baal. This is why I called you Elisabeth, although your last name is [also] Elijah, I call you MY Elijah of New because I prophesy through you and just as Elijah of Old, the prophets of Baal shall be destroyed. Just because it doesn't happen in the way your flesh thinks it should be, think not for I tell you true, not one of them has escaped YAHUVEH's Judgment. If they could speak to you, they would tell you of the things that happen to them. Everyone who has spoken against the Words I have spoken through these Prophecies, they would tell you a tale of woe. Oh they would call it, "bad luck" but the tragedies that have befell them (Prophecy 93).

YAHUVEH is speaking very clearly if we are listening. HE has sent Elisabeth Elijah to herald the return of HIS SON YAHUSHUA! We give thanks and praise to ABBA YAHUVEH that in our hearing HE has sent “Elijah”! To announce the coming of the Holy ONE of Israel, YAHUSHUA our MASHIACH. Come YAHUSHUA! Come! YOUR Bride says, Come!

YAHUVEH will protect Spiritual Israel just as HE protected physical Israel when she obeyed HIM and put HIM first in her life and love. May we put YAHUVEH, YAHUSHUA and IMMAYAH, the RUACH ha KODESH first in our life and love. May we live with great anticipation that YAHUVEH has in fact sent Elijah of New and the coming of our MASHIACH is on the horizon! May we live with anticipation each day at our MASHIACH’s soon coming! Amen! Amen! Amen!
