For many believers, Passover is a powerful reminder of the Exodus—the night the blood of the lamb saved Israel’s firstborn and delivered them from Egypt. But what if this ancient feast is more than just a historical event? What if it’s a prophetic blueprint for what’s to come?
In a recent off-the-cuff teaching, Steve Moutria from Torah Family suggests that Passover may play a central role in the end times and the return of Jesus. While many look to the fall feasts—especially the Feast of Trumpets—as the likely time for Jesus’ return, Moutria says, “Passover is a legitimate time for things to begin just the same. It might actually be the most plausible time.”
The argument is rooted in the idea that biblical history is cyclical. Isaiah 46:10 says, “I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come.” That, according to Moutria, means what happened at Passover in the past may very well repeat on a greater scale in the future.

Passover, he explains, is uniquely marked by both judgment and deliverance. “We see the same with Egypt… judgment would come resulting in the deliverance of Israel… and then we have Sodom,” Moutria says, linking that judgment-and-deliverance theme through multiple biblical accounts.
And the pattern doesn’t stop there. In Revelation 11, the two witnesses are killed in “the great city, which is figuratively called Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified.” Moutria connects this to Jesus’ crucifixion during Passover, adding, “Passover could even be considered the appointed time of redemption and judgment on Yahweh’s calendar.”
He also highlights the strong “door” symbolism found in Scripture, specifically around Passover. “The blood was put on the door frames, his instructions are put on the doorframes to be the reminder of Passover at all times,” he says. Verses in Revelation, Luke and James also mention a door that separates the saved from the judged—imagery that, in Moutria’s view, all points back to the first Passover.
Perhaps the most compelling clue comes from Matthew 26:2, when Jesus, after delivering His longest discourse on the end times, tells His disciples, “As you know, the Passover is two days away.” Moutria notes, “Surely this wasn’t a coincidence. Is it a clue we’ve just overlooked?”
He doesn’t claim to know the day or hour, but says it’s worth paying attention. “You can say I’m stretching things here, and maybe so. But we all know He doesn’t waste words. Everything is said with the purpose and intention.”
Whether you agree with the timing or not, Moutria’s words are a strong reminder that God’s appointed times may be more prophetically significant than many think. “The first deliverance happened at a Passover… could the same be applied to Passover at Jesus’ return, that being the last day of our bondage under Babylon?”
We have a clear call before us. Watch. Be ready. And as Steve Moutria says, “Be a doer of the Word and not a hearer only.”
