According to the Christian Theology I studied at Northwest Nazarene University, it was; "a promise, of a better life, in that his spirit would always be with us, and a covenant of remembrance of the sacrifice he would make (die on the cross)" The last supper is significant to Christian Theology, because it is seen as God's final covenant. God's first covenant, was his promise that he would not destroy the world again, which he symbolized in the form of a rainbow. The reason there is a rainbow after it rains, is because that is God reminding everyone "don't worry, I won't kill you with this......" The second covenant, was chosing the Hebrew people, to be his "chosen people" although this is a mistranslation. The purpose of the Hebrew people, is basically breeding stock. Judaism 101; You will note that in the book of Genesis, special attention is given, to the lineage following Adam. It says "And Adam had other sons and daughters, but then he begat Seth..." and then it would say "and Seth had other sons and daughters, but then he bega...." and so on and so forth, until you get to Noah. From Noah, it follows the same pattern, to establish that the "other nations" branched off, but then it re-establishes that bloodline, going back to Adam, finally getting to Abram, later renamed Abraham. Why is this important to Judaism? Because, of all peoples on this earth, the Hebrew people, the true, genetically unmixed Hebrew people, are the people on this earth MOST like the first man, and AMONG the Hebrew people, only ONE man, is identical to Adam himself. According to Jewish belief, the last man of that bloodline, is the Messiah, he will signal the end of the world, because, as Adam was there at the world's birth, the Messiah will be there, when all known history ends. What I mean by "breeding" stock is, is that the Hebrew people are there to ensure, that bloodline will not die out. In other words, all those ashkenazi Jewish women who bred with all those Europeans, if THAT is TRULY all that is left of the Hebrews then, according to Jewish religion, the world is doomed. It takes more than just maternal ancestry, to be Hebrew, both sides of your family need to be. Also, the motivation of keeping the blood pure, or at least largely clean, is not rooted in racism, because, is it racism, to preserve the blood of the first man? The father of the human race? Do not the people, most like the first man, reserve the right to chose who gets to convert into the religion? See though, according to ancient Hebrew practice, you could not simply pimp out your daughter to this powerful monarch or that, it had to be a man of outstanding moral character and, see, far from breeding with the best Europeans, ashkenazi Jewry often bred with the worst of them. Mostly, powerful men, wealthy men, but, men prone to arrogance, and great cruelty. If the ashkenazi had bred with nice Europeans, the best of them, most misrahi Jews would not have a problem with it but see, they didn't, hence the prejudice that exists in Israel. Moving on; the Hebrews were not "chosen" as in "favored," they were "chosen" in that "the bloodline of Adam, needs to be preserved." Also you will do well to note, that the book of Exodus goes on to further state, that BECAUSE the Hebrews are most like the first man, God holds people of Hebrew ancestry to a higher moral standard than everyone else. Whereas non-Hebrew people, he only punishes the offending person themselves, a person of Hebrew descent who incurs God's wrath, will be punished down to the 10th generation. God does not just punish you, he will punish your children, and your grandchildren, and THEIR grandchildren, if you do evil in his eyes, and do not repent, and ask his forgiveness. See the Hebrew people, especially the descendants of David, ALL, bear that burden. Again, Adam was the father of the human race according to The Bible, but only ONE of his many sons, was most like him, originally that son was Abel, but, because he was murdered by Cain, that son was replaced by Seth. Generation after generation only ONE man, is identical to Adam, in terms of personality, and appearance. That is the fundamental, ultra orthodox, ancient Hebrew tenet of Judaism. If you have Hebrew blood in your veins, and you do evil in God's eyes, he will punish your descendants, down, ten generations. Many Jews hold the view, that their suffering is rooted in evil commited by one of their great grandparents. It only takes one, to cause the suffering of many. Thus, at Sinai, God in fact made TWO covenants, one promising to preserve the bloodline of Adam, and the other being that "I'll be watching." The truth is, be thankful you are not Jewish; again, hardly favoritism, the two covenants at Sinai, specifically the second one, was a warning, that he would hold the Hebrew people to a higher moral standard than anyone else in the whole world. The proverbial "fear of God," is what compels some Jews, to seek spiritual purification. The reason, most will not give up their identity, even if they are secular, is the subconscious fear instilled early on in life, usually in Hebrew school, of that warning God gave. The covenant given at Sinai, actually, there was a fourth, was that he would watch out for the Hebrew people, if they kept themselves spiritually clean. The whole "those who bless you will be blessed, and those who curse you will be cursed" is only true, if you stay spiritually clean. If you are spiritually unclean, and you happen to be Hebrew "I will punish your descendants down 10 generations, and scatter you all across the face of the earth." Thank you God for asking permission if Adam could be created, or we could even be born huh? Sorry, I'm a bit of a cynic, specially when it comes to the Bible. I mean gosh man, 10 generations? Whatever the case, the idea of Jesus, is that as the great redeemer, he was the incarnation of God's final covenant not just to the Hebrew people, but to humanity as a whole. The last supper is significant, because it marked the end of his ministry, and the fulfillment of God's promise, according to Christian theology HOWEVER, Hebrew theology does not believe in it, because, wars still rage, the unjust, still rule, and neither Arab, nor European, seem poised to apologize for what they did to their respective groups of Jews.

23 Then He took the cup, and when He had given thanks He gave it to them, and they all drank from it. 24 And He said to them, "This is My blood of the new[b] covenant, which is shed for many. 25 Assuredly, I say to you, I will no longer drink of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God."
