Barabbas, Azazel, and the Fiery Mystery of Passover

In this Passover and Resurrection week message, we dive deep into the mysterious figure of Barabbas—not as “son of the father” as tradition suggests, but as ברבאש from the Hebrew Gospel of Matthew, meaning “son in the fire.” Could this title point to something far more prophetic and symbolic? We compare the release of Barabbas to the ancient Day of Atonement ritual described in Leviticus, where one goat is sacrificed and the other is sent alive “for Azazel”—a name that appears again in the Book of Enoch as the tenth fallen angel, imprisoned in a desert place shrouded in fire. Are we witnessing in the Passion narrative a hidden reenactment of the scapegoat ritual, with Christ as the sin offering and Barabbas as the Azazel goat—freed to carry away sin? Join us for a thought-provoking exploration that bridges the Hebrew Gospel, Leviticus, and Enoch—and challenges everything we thought we knew about Barabbas - Barbaish links Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/IsraeliNews... links:    • Jesus Crucified Again in Modern Times      • Judas and Barabbas Alive and Well
