Because both of these occur back-to-back, the Jews often refer to Passover and Unleavened Bread simply as <em>Passover Week <\/em>or some similar term that places the main emphasis on the Passover. But it must be noted that, though related, these two festivals are separate in meaning and purpose. Passover pictures Israel coming out of Egypt. Upon separating from Egypt, YHVH (the LORD) then commanded the Israelites to put all leavened food products out of their houses and to eat unleavened bread (flat bread) for seven days, hence the origins of the Feast of Unleavened Bread. Additionally, the first and seventh days of this week-long event are Sabbaths, and YHVH commanded his people to hold a set-apart convocation (or gathering) on these Sabbaths.<\/p>\n<p>What, you may ask, is the purpose of putting leavening out of one\u2019s home and eating unleavened bread products such as <em>matzoh<\/em> for one week? This seems like a curious request by YHVH of his people. Not surprisingly, the Creator of the universe has a reason for everything. The spiritual implications are enlightening and highly relevant to the disciples of Yeshua. In commanding his people to deleaven their homes and lives, YHVH was\/is teaching us an object lesson, which applies to us as much today as to the Israelites of long ago.\u00a0<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Eating unleavened bread for seven days is a memorial, remembrance or reminder (Exod 13:6\u20139) of our coming out of our own spiritual Egypt. But how did unleavened bread enter into this picture? The Torah tells us that the Israelites left Egypt early in the morning as they were making their daily bread, and because they left in haste the bread was not able to rise (Exod 12:34). Therefore, they were forced, by circumstances, to leave their leavening or sin behind in Egypt, so to speak. Similarly, believers in Yeshua are commanded to keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread (1\u2009Cor 5:6\u20138), which helps to remind us that we should have left our old sinful ways behind us in Egypt when we surrendered our lives to Yeshua. We are pressing onward to the Promised Land or eternal kingdom of YHVH Elohim.<\/p>\n<p>Not only did YHVH command his set-apart people to leave Egypt (a picture of this world and its godless ways), but he wanted his people to separate from and leave behind in Egypt the rudiments of this world, or sin, which defiles them and separates them from a set-apart and sinless Elohim (God). Leaven is a picture of this, as we will see more clearly below.<\/p>\n<p>The Feast of Unleavened Bread was the next step in YHVH\u2019s plan of redemption for his people. Israel had just left Egypt and we know that Egypt is biblically a spiritual metaphor for the world and Satan. It may be easy to get out of Egypt, but now begins the arduous process of getting the sin or spiritual leaven of Egypt out us! The old sin habits die hard and often lie hidden in our lives waiting to be exposed and cast out from the recesses of our mind, will and emotions\u2014or one\u2019s spiritual house. This is not an easy process, and is not unlike ridding our physical homes of leavening products, such as bread crumbs, that find their way into the nooks and crannies of our homes. Throughout Scripture, leavening usually represents sin, pride, hypocrisy, malice, bitterness and false religious doctrine (Pss 71:4; 73:21; Hos 7:4; Matt 16:6; Mark 8:15; Luke 12:1; 1\u2009Cor 5:8\u20136; Gal 5:9).<\/p>\n<p>The Feast of Unleavened Bread lasts seven days. Seven in YHVH\u2019s spiritual economy represents completion or perfection. YHVH has given man 7000 years on this earth to get rid of sin completely and totally in preparation for admission into his eternal kingdom as revealed in Revelation 21 and 22. For 6000 years, YHVH has left men on this earth to their own sinful devices. The seventh thousand-year time period, called the Messianic Age or Millennium (Rev 20:2,\u20093,\u20094,\u20096), will be different than the previous 6000 years, for during this time Yeshua will be ruling over the earth with a rod of iron as King of kings and Lord of lords (Rev 2:27; 12:5; 19:15; 17:14; 19:16), Satan will be bound in the pit (Rev 20:2\u20133). All humans on earth will be taught the Torah-truth of YHVH Elohim without the evil influences of the devil and the world as we know it today. During the Messianic Age, the earth will be at peace and rest, men will be taught to love YHVH with all their heart, mind and strength and their neighbor as themselves. This time of relative peace and rest is the seventh thousand-year time period of man\u2019s tenure on this earth, which corresponds to the seventh day of the week\u2014the Sabbath. It will be a Sabbath of rest and peace on this earth for 1000 years. The Days of Unleavened Bread picture this, for the first day is a Sabbath representing the first Sabbath when YHVH rested after creating a perfect, paradisiacal and sin-free world. The last day or seventh day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread is also a Sabbath, which corresponds prophetically to the Messianic Age.<\/p>\n<p>The children of Israel left Egypt on the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread in an de-leavened state. What is the spiritual lesson in this for us? On an individual level, once a person has placed their faith in Yeshua, the Lamb of Elohim, and has been spared from sin\u2019s death judgment, one then must leave spiritual Egypt and begin a trek through the wilderness of life en route to the spiritual \u201crest\u201d of Yeshua\u2019s eternal and spiritual kingdom (Heb 4:1\u201311). At that time, a person must take on the spiritual \u201cyoke\u201d of Yeshua, which is light and easy (Matt 11:28\u201330). As a result of turning one\u2019s back on Pharaoh (a spiritual type of the devil) and Egypt (a spiritual type of this world), one must choose to follow Yeshua who is their new\u00a0spiritual Master. As the children of Israel chose to follow YHVH Elohim (Exod 19:8; 24:3\u20137), the redeemed believer must likewise choose to follow Yeshua, which involves eradicating sin (the violation of YHVH\u2019s commandments, 1 John 3:4) from one\u2019s life, loving him and keeping his Torah-commandments (John 14:15). This process is how one de-leavens his or her life. As the sin is removed, a person will begin to experience the \u201cjoy of YHVH\u201d (Neh 8:10; John 16:24; Rom 5:11) and the peace or shalom of YHVH that surpasses all understanding (Phil 4:7) as freedom from sin and the guilt and shame it brings occurs. This step in a redeemed believer\u2019s life corresponds to the first day or Sabbath of the Feast of Unleavened Bread.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-541\" style=\"color: inherit; font: normal normal normal 15px\/normal 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.625; border-style: solid; border-color: #dddddd; float: left; display: inline; margin-right: 1.625em; height: auto; max-width: 97.5%; margin-bottom: 1.625em; border-width: 0px; padding: 6px;\" title=\"matzah\" src=\"http:\/\/hoshanarabbah.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/matzah-300x223.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"223\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hoshanarabbah.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/matzah-300x223.jpg 300w, https:\/\/hoshanarabbah.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/matzah-402x300.jpg 402w, https:\/\/hoshanarabbah.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/matzah.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Following day one of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, there are five regular work days before the final seventh day of Unleavened Bread, which is a Sabbath. These five days are a picture of the Israelites\u2019 trek through the wilderness en route to the Promised Land. For the redeemed believer, it is a picture of life in general, which is a like a spiritual wilderness that one must traverse before attaining the goal and the reward of one\u2019s spiritual inheritance or the spiritual Promised Land of YHVH\u2019s eternal kingdom. In this life, a believer must do\u00a0his best to live a sin-free life, which is like eating the \u201cbread of affliction\u201d or unleavened bread (Deut 16:3). Yeshua instructs us that his disciples, though in the world, they are not of this world, and that the world would hate and persecute them when they follow him (John 17). Being faithful to Yeshua, keeping his commands and not sinning will bring persecution and affliction, but the rewards to follow for those who overcome the world are worth the rigors of the journey!<\/p>\n<p>The Apostle Paul refers to this process when he talks about \u201cworking out one\u2019s own salvation with fear and trembling\u201d (Phil 2:12), his struggles to defeat the carnal man (Rom 7), to walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit, and to enter into a life dominated by the Spirit of Yeshua the Messiah (Rom 8:1\u20132). Yeshua also talked about the persecution and tribulation that his disciples would have to endure to enter the ultimate rest of his kingdom (Matt 5:10\u201312). Paul said that all who live godly will suffer persecution (2\u202f Tim 3:12), and that the spiritual metal of our lives must be tested and purified by the fire of trial (1\u2009Cor 3:12\u201313). James says that we are to count it all joy when we are tried or proven (Jas 1:12). Will the fires of persecution separate us from the love of Yeshua, Paul asks the Romans (Rom 8:35)? During this journey, which is arduous at times, will we forget our first love as the Ephesians did (Rev 2:4), and lose faith and long for the delicacies of Egypt as the Israelites did when they fell into doubt and unbelief and perished in the wilderness (Heb 3:8\u201319)? Or will we persevere and overcome the world as Yeshua, the Author and Finisher of our faith, did (John 16:33) to be granted entrance into the Promised Land? For us to receive this reward, we must bring down the walls of our spiritual Jericho\u2014the sin strongholds of our lives. Only then will we receive the rewards of the Kingdom of Elohim (Matt 5:10, 12; 1\u2009John 5:4; Rev 2:7, 17; 3:5, 12, 21; 21:7). We are to resist sin (leavening) in our lives even to the point of paying the ultimate price, if necessary, as did Yeshua (Heb\u202f12:1\u20134) and many of the biblical prophets (Heb 11).<\/p>\n<p>This is the wilderness walk to which the servants of YHVH have been called. Like the Israelites, we must press on in faith for the hope that is set before us (Heb 6:18), the hope of eternal rest in the Promised Land of the kingdom of Elohim. This is what the last Sabbath or seventh day of the Days of Unleavened Bread represents.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, we are saved or redeemed out of spiritual Egypt at the time of our conversion and have passed from death and condemnation to everlasting life (John 5:24), but salvation and sanctification (being set-apart from the world, flesh and the devil for service to YHVH) are also a lifelong process, which will culminate in the transforming of our mortal bodies into glorious and spiritual bodies at the resurrection. At this point in time we will have arrived at the completion or perfection of our hope the number seven epitomizes in the Scriptures.<\/p>\n<div class=\"evernoteSiteMemory\"><a href=\"javascript:\"
