Additional information
by Gene Madia (Author)
This Commentary is for those who consider themselves students of the Word of God. You seek more than the common understanding about certain subjects of Scripture. Although a view is common or popular, that does not make it so. For you an in-depth search and study is like finding the pearl of great price. There is joy in what you will discover. Inside you will find answers to: How this and all Passover days and dates were established? What were the requirements for Passover and the Passover Lamb? How Jesus fulfilled all these requirements plus many, many other things? Why do we celebrate what is known as 'Good Friday'? What was the 'cup' that Jesus prayed would be removed? Did Jesus say, "This is My body which is broken for you?" How did Jesus fulfill the Sign of Jonah? When He said, "A new covenant," He has made the first obsolete! *** There are many interesting and thought provoking things to learn as we dig into the Word of God. ***
