There is, however, a fundamental difference between the Jewish meal and the Eucharistic meal. In the Jewish meal meat was eaten (lamb) and the liberation of the Jews from their slavery in Egypt was recalled as well as their entry into the Promised Land (Palestine).

We will be called one day to share the joy of the ultimate Promised Land: Paradise. 53
