Let us Read the Holy Scriptures and i will make notes as needed.

Exodus 12
(Please note that this was BEFORE the Covenant at Mount Sinai)
1 And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt saying,
2This month shall be unto you the beginning of months (Month of Abib, Ex. 13:4, 23:15, 34:18, Deut. 16:1): it shall be the first month of the year to you.
3Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for an house:
4And if the household be too little for the lamb, let him and his neighbour next unto his house take it according to the number of the souls (consider one another, Heb. 10:24); every man according to his eating shall make your count for the lamb.
5Your lamb shall be without blemish (Jesus= 1 Peter 1:19), a male of the first year: ye shall take it out from the sheep, or from the goats:
6And ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month: and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in (H996 Between) the evening (H6153 the evening or evenings).
7And they shall take of the blood, and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses (the 3 wooden beams, representing the cross), wherein they shall eat it.
8And they shall eat the flesh in that night (not in the afternoon, but at night in the evening time), roast with fire, and unleavened bread; and with bitter herbs they shall eat it.
9Eat not of it raw, nor sodden at all with water, but roast with fire; his head with his legs, and with the purtenance thereof.
10And ye shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; and that which remaineth of it until the morning ye shall burn with fire.(remember, leave none of it for the next day or morning)
11And thus shall ye eat it; with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and ye shall eat it in haste: it is the LORD's passover.
12For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the LORD.
13And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt. (I will save you while I destroy the others)
14And this day shall be unto you for a memorial (Luke 22:19); and ye shall keep it a feast to the LORD throughout your generations; ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance for ever.
15Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread; even the first day ye shall put away leaven out of your houses: for whosoever eateth leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel.
16 And in the first day there shall be an holy convocation (commanded Assembly/gathering), and in the seventh day there shall be an holy convocation (another commanded Assembly) to you; no manner of work shall be done in them (Sabbaths on the 1st day and 7th Day of UB, but Passover is not a Sabbath. Passover is the Preparation Day for the 1st Day of Unleavned Bread), save that which every man must eat, that only may be done of you.
17And ye shall observe the feast of unleavened bread; for in this selfsame day have I brought your armies out of the land of Egypt: therefore shall ye observe this day in your generations by an ordinance for ever.
18In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at even, ye shall eat unleavened bread, until the one and twentieth day of the month at even. (gives you the time frame that you should eat unleavened bread, 7 days starting on the 14th)
19Seven days shall there be no leaven found in your houses: for whosoever eateth that which is leavened, even that soul shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he be a stranger, or born in the land. (symbolic of removing sin/leavening from your life. 1 Cor. 5:7-8, this process last 7,000 years, a day for a thousand years symbolic)
20Ye shall eat nothing leavened; in all your habitations shall ye eat unleavened bread.
21Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said unto them, Draw out and take you a lamb according to your families, and kill the passover.
22And ye shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the bason, and strike the lintel and the two side posts with the blood that is in the bason; and none of you shall go out at the door of his house until the morning.
23For the LORD will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side posts, the LORD will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite you. (Christ Blood protects you)
24And ye shall observe this thing for an ordinance to thee and to thy sons for ever.
25And it shall come to pass, when ye be come to the land which the LORD will give you, according as he hath promised, that ye shall keep this service. (when you come into the Camps of GOD)
26And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say unto you, What mean ye by this service?
27That ye shall say, It is the sacrifice of the LORD's passover, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he smote the Egyptians, and delivered our houses. And the people bowed the head and worshipped.
28And the children of Israel went away, and did as the LORD had commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.
29And it came to pass, that at midnight the LORD smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto the firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon; and all the firstborn of cattle.
30And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and all his servants, and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt; for there was not a house where there was not one dead.
31And he called for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, Rise up, and get you forth from among my people, both ye and the children of Israel; and go, serve the LORD, as ye have said.
32Also take your flocks and your herds, as ye have said, and be gone; and bless me also.
33And the Egyptians were urgent upon the people, that they might send them out of the land in haste; for they said, We be all dead men.
34And the people took their dough before it was leavened, their kneadingtroughs being bound up in their clothes upon their shoulders.
35And the children of Israel did according to the word of Moses; and they borrowed of the Egyptians jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment:
36And the LORD gave the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they lent unto them such things as they required. And they spoiled the Egyptians.
37And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand on foot that were men, beside children.
38And a mixed multitude (including some Egyptians) went up also with them; and flocks, and herds, even very much cattle.
39And they baked unleavened cakes of the dough which they brought forth out of Egypt, for it was not leavened; because they were thrust out of Egypt, and could not tarry, neither had they prepared for themselves any victual.
40Now the sojourning of the children of Israel, who dwelt in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years.
41And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years, even the selfsame day it came to pass, that all the hosts of the LORD went out from the land of Egypt.
42It is a night to be much observed unto the LORD for bringing them out from the land of Egypt: this is that night of the LORD to be observed of all the children of Israel in their generations.
43And the LORD said unto Moses and Aaron, This is the ordinance of the passover: There shall no stranger eat thereof: (1 Cor. 11:27)
44But every man's servant that is bought for money, when thou hast circumcised him, then shall he eat thereof.
45 A foreigner and an hired servant shall not eat thereof.
46In one house shall it be eaten; thou shalt not carry forth ought of the flesh abroad out of the house; neither shall ye break a bone thereof. (the meal is Sacred, they also did not break the Bones of Jesus)
47 All the congregation of Israel shall keep it.
48 And when a stranger shall sojourn with thee, and will keep the passover to the LORD, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and keep it; and he shall be as one that is born in the land: for no uncircumcised person shall eat thereof.
49 One law shall be to him that is homeborn, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among you.
(Notice this is a Law. But yet this was BEFORE the Covenant at Mount Sinai)
50 Thus did all the children of Israel; as the LORD commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.
51 And it came to pass the selfsame day, that the LORD did bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their armies.

Lev. 23:4 These are the feasts of the LORD, even holy convocations (commanded assemblies/gatherings), which ye shall proclaim in their seasons.
5 In the fourteenth day of the first month at even is the LORD's passover.
6 And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread unto the LORD: seven days ye must eat unleavened bread.
7 In the first day ye shall have an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein.
8 But ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD seven days: in the seventh day is an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein.

Allowance for a 2nd Passover, if you are not ready by the first Passover
Numbers 9 1And the LORD spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the first month of the second year after they were come out of the land of Egypt, saying, 2Let the children of Israel also keep the passover at his appointed season. 3In the fourteenth day of this month, at even, ye shall keep it in his appointed season: according to all the rites of it, and according to all the ceremonies thereof, shall ye keep it. 4And Moses spake unto the children of Israel, that they should keep the passover. 5And they kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the first month at even in the wilderness of Sinai: according to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so did the children of Israel. 6And there were certain men, who were defiled by the dead body of a man, that they could not keep the passover on that day: and they came before Moses and before Aaron on that day: 7And those men said unto him, We are defiled by the dead body of a man: wherefore are we kept back, that we may not offer an offering of the LORD in his appointed season among the children of Israel? 8And Moses said unto them, Stand still, and I will hear what the LORD will command concerning you. 9And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 10Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If any man of you or of your posterity shall be unclean by reason of a dead body, or be in a journey afar off, yet he shall keep the passover unto the LORD. 11The fourteenth day of the second month at even they shall keep it, and eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs. 12They shall leave none of it unto the morning, nor break any bone of it: according to all the ordinances of the passover they shall keep it. 13But the man that is clean, and is not in a journey, and forbeareth to keep the passover, even the same soul shall be cut off from among his people: because he brought not the offering of the LORD in his appointed season, that man shall bear his sin. 14And if a stranger shall sojourn among you, and will keep the passover unto the LORD; according to the ordinance of the passover, and according to the manner thereof, so shall he do: ye shall have one ordinance, both for the stranger, and for him that was born in the land.

New Testament Keeping
Matthew 26:17 Now the first (G4413 "prōtos": first in time or place in any succession of things, first in rank, influence, chief, principal, first, at the first, beginning, foremost, pronto, prompt) [day] (the word "day" was added) of the [feast of](the words "feast of" was added) unleavened bread (Passover) the disciples came to Jesus, saying unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the passover?
(:17 better translation: At the very beginning of Passover, the disciples came to Jesus, saying to Him, What is your will about Where we prepare for you to eat the Passover Meal?
Notice that the disciples came to Jesus and asked Him where He would eat the Passover. They knew it was time to do so. So this was NOT a new event. This was a yearly event.)
:18 And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and say unto him, The Master saith, My time is at hand; I will keep the passover at thy house with my disciples.
(Notice Jesus said His Time was at hand. He knew that He would die. He knew He would die on Passover. He knew He would become the Passover Lamb. Then He said that I will Keep the Passover. He did not say He would keep a new or different day or event. It was the yearly Passover. He did not lie. He did follow thru and keep the Passover.)
:19 And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them; and they made ready the passover.

Mark 14:12 And the first day of unleavened bread (at the very beginning of Passover), when they killed the passover, his disciples said unto him, Where wilt thou that we go and prepare that thou mayest eat the passover?
(Notice that was the day they killed the Passover Lamb. This was NOT a different day. It was the 14th.)
Mark 14:14 And wheresoever he shall go in, say ye to the goodman of the house, The Master saith, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples?
(Notice that Jesus told his disciples to tell the goodman of the house that the Master, that is Jesus, shall, that is WILL, eat the Passover! Jesus did not tell his disciples to lie. Jesus himself did not lie. He did eat the Passover!)
Mark 14:16 And his disciples went forth, and came into the city, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover.

Luke 2:41 Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the passover.
Luke 22:7 Then came the day of unleavened bread (Passover), when the passover must be killed. (14th)
Luke 22:8 And he sent Peter and John (after they came to Him), saying, Go and prepare us the passover, that we may eat. (again, Jesus said He would eat the Passover with His disciples. This was not a new day or new event. But He did add to it with the bread and wine to institute the new way of observing it. The next Afternoon He would replace the Lamb on the altar of the cross. The bread and wine became the new symbols of His Body and Blood.)
Luke 22:11 And ye shall say unto the goodman of the house, The Master saith unto thee, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples?
Luke 22:13 And they went, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover.
Luke 22:15 And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer:

John 2:23 Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, in the feast day, many believed in his name, when they saw the miracles which he did.
John 12:1 Then Jesus six days before the passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, which had been dead, whom he raised from the dead.
John 18:28 Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas unto the hall of judgment: and it was early; and they themselves went not into the judgment hall, lest they should be defiled; but that they might eat the passover.
(Please Notice that these people had not eaten the Passover yet. But Jesus and his disciples had! Just as it is today, in the time of Jesus, there was a disagreement about when to partake of the Passover Meal! Yahshua kept the Passover on the 14th of Abib as did many of the Sadducees. But most of the Pharisses kept the Passover on the 15th. See the article "The Timing of Yeshua's Death" at godslawislove.org)
John 18:39 But ye have a custom, that I should release unto you one at the passover: will ye therefore that I release unto you the King of the Jews?
John 19:14 And it was the preparation of the passover (Preparation for the 1st Day of Unleavended Bread which is also called Passover by the Jews), and about the sixth hour (about 9am): and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King! (The book of Mark says Christ was crucified about the third hour. The word sixth, in the text, is thought by many eminent critics to be a mistake of some copyist, as a few old MSS. read third instead. Calvin, Grotius, and some others, think the two Evangelists adopted different modes of reckoning time, in one of which the day was 'divided into twelve hours, beginning at sunrise, and in the other of which it was divided into four parts, of three hours each, which would make the sixth and third coincide. Some think John followed d Romish custom of reckoning the hours from midnight. Source: Nevin, Alfred, Ed., et al. "Scripture Difficulties," The Parallel Bible. Blue Letter Bible. 1 Jun 2002. 10 Mar 2010.)

1 Peter 1:19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:

1 Cor. 5:7 Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:
5:8 Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened [bread] of sincerity and truth.

Commanded FootWashing
John 13
1Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end.
2And supper being ended, the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him;
3Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he was come from God, and went to God;
4He riseth from supper, and laid aside his garments; and took a towel, and girded himself.
5After that he poureth water into a bason, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded.
6Then cometh he to Simon Peter: and Peter saith unto him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet?
7Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter.
8Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me.
9Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head.
10Jesus saith to him, He that is washed needeth not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean, but not all.
11For he knew who should betray him; therefore said he, Ye are not all clean.
12So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments, and was set down again, he said unto them, Know ye what I have done to you?
13Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am.
14If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet.
15For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you.
16Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him.
17If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them.

Commanded Gathering and Offering
Deut. 16:16 Three times in a year shall all thy males appear before the LORD thy God in the place which he shall choose; in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles: and they shall not appear before the LORD empty:
:17 Every man [shall give] as he is able, according to the blessing of the LORD thy God which he hath given thee.

Concluded with a Hymn
Matt. 26:30 And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives.
Mark 14:26 And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives.

Count the Cost before partaking of Passover
What this is saying is that only people who are Saved should partake of the Passover. (Luke 14:28) It is ALSO in the context of making sure you do not eat a full meal. It is a HOLY partaking. It is a symbol of receiving Christ, becoming one with Him., it's not a regular meal and should not be treated as a regular meal, see the preceding verses in 1 Cor. 11.

1 Cor. 11:23 For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the [same] night in which he was betrayed took bread:
:24 And when he had given thanks, he brake [it], and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.
:25 After the same manner also [he took] the cup, when (G3326 "meta": after, hereafter, afterward) he had supped (G1172 "deipneō" dined, eat the chief evening meal), saying, This cup is the new testament (G1242 "G1242 - diathēkē" the last disposition which one makes of his earthly possessions after his death, a testament or will, a compact, a covenant) in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink [it], in remembrance of me.
:26 For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come.
:27 Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink [this] cup of the Lord, unworthily (G371 in an unworthy manner), shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.
:28 But let a man examine himself (2 Cor. 13:5), and so let him eat of [that] bread, and drink of [that] cup.
:29 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.
:30 For this cause many [are] weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.

In 1 Corinthians 10:1-4 we see that when the people crossed the Red Sea, they were baptized. Then they received communion via the manna/bread which represents the Body of Christ and the water from the rock which represents Christ who is the bread and water of Life (John 4:14, 6:30-35). In 1 Cor. 10:16-17 we see that unity of the church is also represented when we take communion/Passover/Lords Supper. In 1 Cor. 11:29, those that do not discern the Lords Body during this partaking, will suffer sickness or death. In the Zondervan KJV Study Bible, they have this study note: "The word body may refer to either the Lords physical body or the church as the body of Christ see 12:13,27. The first view means that the person partakes of the Lords supper without recognizing that it symbolizes Christ's crudified body. But in that case, why is the blood not mentioned? The second view means that the participant is not aware of the nature of the church as the body of Christ, resulting in the self-centered actions of vv. 20-21." See 10:16-17. The Greek word for "communion" is G2842 koinōnia means fellowship, association, community, communion, joint participation, intimacy, a gift jointly contributed, a collection, a contribution, as exhibiting an embodiment and proof of fellowship.

How often for Communion?
1 Cor. 11:28 tells us to examine ourselves before partaking of the Passover Communion. We should examine why we are doing this, how we are doing this. Are we remembering His Death for us? Are we doing it in a very solemn way? Zondervan KJV Study Bible has this note: "A person should test the attitude of his own heart and actions and his awareness of the significance of the supper."
1 Cor. 11:25 "After the same manner also [he took] the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink [it], in remembrance of me".
He didn't say to do this often! He said as often as you Do it, remember Him. There is a difference. Notice again in vs. 25 that it includes the word "as". The Greek 3740 means "as many times as". SO it would read "as many times as you drink it". NOT "drink it many times". I believe it should only be done on Passover and no other day. This way we are more likely to respect the Sacredness of it. When you take the wine and the bread, you are showing the Lords Death til He Come (1 Cor. 11:26). Which also shows that the Passover is not done away with, only changed/transformed. He is not dead until He comes. He is already alive. We commemorate his death yearly until He comes back again. This is a very hallowed solemn occasion. But when brethren offers or suggestes to do communion on other days, I would not turn them down. You don't want to offend them. And it's not breaking His Law or disrespecting Him by having Communion with brethren on other days. But I prefer to keep it on the day that it was intended for.

Lords Supper and Passover Meal, Two different meals or the same meal? A Divine Revelation.
Are they the same or different events? i prayed for GOD to reveal the truth no matter what the truth may be. GOD answered later this morning! GOD spoke to me outloud on the radio. I know many people think i am crazy. But GOD has done this many times to me and not only to me but to many people across the globe. He inspired the radio speaker to say certain words that when spoken, I knew it was for me and to me. That is called "discernment of Spirit" and just plain being able to hear His Voice. So anyway, He said that "on the Preparation day" (for the Days of Unleavened Bread, or that is to say that on Passover Day), that "He changed the Day"! Then over the next several days, He continued to teach me more about Passover, the LORDS Supper and Communion. They are the same in that GOD changed/transformed the Passover Meal/Lords Supper to the New Covenant Communion.
But the Lords Supper is NOT the same as Communion. The "Lords Supper" refers to the old covenant passover lamb meal that Jesus ate with His disciples before instituing the New Covenant Communion AFTER finishing the passover supper. We are not to eat the Lords Supper (old passover lamb). We are to partake of the New Communion. Notice:
1 Cor. 11:25 "After the same manner also [he took] the cup, when (G3326 "meta": after, hereafter, afterward) he had supped (G1172 "deipneō" dined, eat the chief evening meal), saying, This cup is the new testament (G1242 "G1242 - diathēkē" the last disposition which one makes of his earthly possessions after his death, a testament or will, a compact, a covenant) in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink [it], in remembrance of me".

The Amplified Version reads this way: "Similarly when supper was ended, He took the cup also, saying, This cup is the new covenant [ratified and established] in My blood. Do this, as often as you drink [it], to call Me [affectionately] to remembrance".

The NIV reads this way: "In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me.”

Notice Paul said we are NOT to eat the Lords Supper:
1 Cor. 11:20 "When ye come together therefore into one place, this is not to eat the Lord's supper."
KJV Margins says "Or, ye cannot eat".
The Wycliffe Bible (1395) Therfor whanne ye comen togidere in to oon, now it is not to ete the Lordis soper;
The Bishop's Bible (1568) When ye come together therfore into one place, you can not eate the Lordes supper:

The Lords Supper was the Lamb. No where does the Bible ever call the Bread and Wine "the Lords Supper". He ate the Old Covenant Supper (lamb) first, then He instituted the New Covenant Bread and Wine (Lk 22:20). The Bread and Wine is called "Communion" (1 Cor. 10:16). When Jesus ate his final meal of the old covenant passover lamb it is called the Lords (last) Supper.
Either way, we no longer need to kill a lamb. Christ IS our Passover Lamb. The Bread and Wine now represent that. We have no need to represent it again by having a second meal/supper. We need not offer a lamb as He IS the Eternal Lamb. He didn't tell us to change the timing of the observance. He did fulfill (not do away but add life to) the Passover and replaced/changed/transformed (not do away) the Passover Meal/Lords Supper with Communion. The old Passover Meal foreshadowed (looked to the future) the Sacrifice of Christ. What the old Passover Meal previously foreshadowed has now been fulfilled (prophecy fullfilled). Therefore now we observe a new symbolism called Communion in REMEMBERANCE of this fulfilled prophecy of His One Time Eternal Sacrifice for our sins as the Eternal Permanant Passover Lamb. We have no need for any other lamb nor any lamb symbolism. Now we have the Bread and Wine symbolism of His Body and Blood shed (fulfilled) for us.
The radio program was Charles Stanley talking about Bible Study and alone time with GOD to meditate on His Word to Hear what He has to say. He was speaking of "preparation day" as the time we study to be prepared for the future. Then He said "He Changed the Day". In my guts/bowels/heart with the Holy Spirit, I know He is not saying that He changed the TIMING of the Day. But that He changed/Transformed the WAY we observe the Feast of Passover. This is the spiritual implication and application that i sense from the Holy Spirit. And it is the context in which it was spoken to me from GOD. We can study night and day until our sweat becomes as blood. But ultimately we need to hear from GOD. We need divine Revelation and that was the context in which Charles Stanley was speaking.
Ecclesiastes 12:12 And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh.
Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. :6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

In Conclusion, The "Lords Supper", also called the "Lords Last Supper" was the Passover meal that Jesus and His disciples ate on the night He was betrayed, the night before He was crucified. The New Covenant "Communion" or the Passover "Communion" is the NEW Passover Meal to be observed with Bread and Wine and Footwashing on the 14th at evening to commenarate/remember the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, the Son of GOD, as the Eternal Passover Lamb for our sin offering.

Hebrews 7:27 Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this he did once, when he offered up himself.

Hebrews 9:26 For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. (sin still exist in the world, but He puts sin away from the Born Again Christian and He puts away the result of sin). Hebrews 10:1-12 should be read if you have any doubt whether we should continue any other sacrifice. (For the most serious bible student: Explanations of Ezek. 43-45 can be read here, Link 1 and Here, Link 2 AND Here, Link 3. It is also possible that Ezek. 40-48 were not written by Ezekiel.

Christ, the Lamb of GOD, sacrificed at the very same moment as the animal was killed!
"For 1,200 years, the priest would blow the shophar (ram's horn) at 3:00 p.m. - the moment the lamb was sacrificed, and all the people would pause to think about the sacrifice for sins on behalf of the people of Israel. When Jesus was being crucified, He said, "It is finished" at the moment that the Passover lamb was sacrificed and the shophar was blown from the Temple. The sacrifice of the lamb of God was fulfilled at the hour that the symbolic animal sacrifice took place. At the same time, the veil of the Temple (a three-inch thick, several story high cloth that separated the Holy of Holies) tore from top to bottom representing a removal of the separation between God and man. Fifty days later, on the anniversary of the giving of the law (Pentecost), God left the earthly temple to inhabit those who call on the name of Yeshua through His Holy Spirit."

To give you some more edification concerning Passover, I would like to share with you the following quotation from: http://www.ptgbook.org/index.html and I do agree generally with what he says about this particular issue.

"The first day whose observance is commanded by God is Passover. Passover is not a Sabbath. Work is permitted. It is to be kept on the 14th day of the first month in the Hebrew calendar. You can read the details of the institution of Passover in Exodus chapter 12. Every household of Israel in Egypt was told to kill a lamb just after sunset when the 14th day had just begun, but before it was completely dark. They were to splatter the blood of the lamb on the doorposts of their house, roast the lamb, and eat it in their house and remain indoors until morning. Around midnight God killed all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, but God "passed over" any house that had the blood on the doorposts and did not kill the firstborn in that house. For ancient Israel, this was a lesson that God protected them and saved them from the plague with which He plagued the Egyptians. But for Christians today, there is a deeper meaning. The symbolism with Jesus Christ is unmistakable. Jesus is called "the Lamb of God" (John 1:29) and "our Passover" (1 Corinthians 5:7). Revelation 7:14 and 12:11 makes reference to the "blood of the Lamb" in reference to the blood of Jesus Christ. Paul wrote that we are justified with God by the blood of Jesus Christ (Romans 5:9). The penalty of sin is death. "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 6:23, KJV). All have sinned, "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23, KJV). Therefore, all mankind has fallen under the death penalty. God the Father sent Jesus Christ to live a sinless life and die to pay the penalty for our sins in our place so that the death penalty could be removed and we can be forgiven of our past sins. "But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all" (Isaiah 53:5-6, KJV). I think traditional Christianity understands this particular point of God's plan pretty well. This is not something new that Mr. Armstrong discovered. When Jesus kept the Passover with His disciples before He died, He made a change in the Passover ritual for the Church, but not the date that Passover should be kept. Jesus instituted the symbols of the bread, to represent His body which was about to be scourged and broken, and the wine, to represent His blood which was about to be shed (Matthew 26:26-28). He also instituted a foot washing ceremony, which most churches today do not observe, to teach the lesson of humility and service to others (John 13:2-17). The Church of God observes Passover once a year the evening after sunset which begins the 14th day of the first month of the Hebrew calendar, the same day Jesus observed the Passover with His disciples. We observe it by assembling for services, partaking of the symbols of wine and unleavened bread, and participating in a foot washing service."
