The Feast of Unleavened Bread Is a Commemorative Ritual<\/b><\/p>\n

Passover going into the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread is the birthday of the nation of Israel. In ancient times, universal Israel came together in Jerusalem to celebrate this event. Today, redeemed Israelites come together to celebrate these divine appointment sacred convocations.<\/p>\n

Abstaining from leavened bread for seven days is symbolic of Elohim\u2019s people separating themselves from sin and turning towards a holy relationship with him.<\/p>\n

Removing leavening from our\u00a0 homes is a symbolic activity just like taking communion, being baptized for the remission of sins, or building a sukkah during the Feast of Tabernacles. As humans, we need symbolic commemorative occasions for several reasons. They give us a sense of history by helping us to understand the past, so that we can move forward into the future knowing who we are and where we\u2019ve come from. They give us guidance so that we\u2019ll learn from the lessons of history, both the good and bad ones. Our American culture is full of symbolic rituals and commemorative acts and markers (Christmas, Easter, birthdays, anniversaries, Independence Day, Memorial Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving Day, statues, historical markers, monuments, museums, heritage sites, etc.). Likewise, Biblical commemorative rituals help us in several ways.<\/p>\n

They help us to both recall and commemorate past and future events.<\/p>\n

They help us to understand who we are by recalling where we\u2019ve come from which in turn helps us to understand where we\u2019re going.<\/p>\n

They can be something physical that helps us to wrap our minds around difficult-to-understand spiritual principle.<\/p>\n

They are something physical that help to point us toward a spiritual reality. They help to raise our hopes and our eyes above our mundane existence and strengthen our faith as we move toward the higher goal or reality to which the ritual or commemorative event points.<\/p>\n

They help us to teach and to pass on to each new generation not only about our past history, but our future hope.<\/p>\n

Leavening Is a Picture of Sin<\/b><\/p>\n

The observance of the Feast of Unleavened Bread is a symbol of our commitment to turn towards righteousness and turn away from sin. How serious we are about removing physical leaven from our homes in compliance with YHVH\u2019s commands is an indicator of how serious we are about removing sin from our lives.<\/p>\n

While leavening makes bread rise and is therefore a symbol for pride, leavening is also a symbol of decay. The rising of the dough is only possible by the natural process of decay. In ancient times, a pinch of fermented or sour dough was placed into a batch of unleavened dough to make it sour and cause it to rise. Yeast is a living micro organism that is classified as a fungi. Fungi feed on both living and dead and decaying organic matter. Yeast turns food sour through the process of fermentation and this begins the process by which something dies. Yeast is an apt metaphor for the corrupting influences of sin, which invades our lives and turns our souls from sweet to sour leading to spiritual death. Were it not for the curse of death because of Adam and Eve\u2019s sin, it\u2019s quite possible that fungi would not exist.<\/p>\n

When YHVH commands us to remove the leavening from our homes during the Feast of Unleavened Bread, he\u2019s teaching us an important lesson: We must remove the contagion of sin from our lives if we\u2019re to be sweet, pure, sinless and holy (or set-apart unto YHVH). Sin, like yeast fungi, causes decay and death, and to remove yeast from our homes is like removing sin from our lives, which brings about a reverse of the curse of death resulting in eternal life.<\/p>\n

In ancient times, unleavened bread was made to rise by the injection of sour dough or leavened dough into the pure and undefiled unleavened lump of dough. Unleavened dough has nothing old from the past that is added to it. It\u2019s a totally new lump. That\u2019s what were to be in Messiah \u2014\u00a0 a new creation, or a new lump.<\/p>\n

Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us. Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. (1 Cor 5:7\u20138)<\/p>\n

Through Messiah, our past sins \u2014 our past sour history is broken off (the sour dough yeast from the past, Rom 3:25) and has been forgiven and we get to start out totally new! What\u2019s more, every time we sin, if we confess our sin and repent of it, he forgives and cleanses us and make us new yet again (1 John 1:9).<\/p>\n

Unleavened bread is a picture of the life of Yeshua unspoiled by the taint of sin and death. Even his body, after his death, resurrected to life before decay could set in. He truly was the Lamb of Elohim who was without blemish in every possible way. When we eat unleavened bread, it\u2019s symbolic of putting on or into ourselves the righteousness of Yeshua.<\/p>\n

Paul mentions the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth (1 Cor 5:7\u20138). Sincerity and truth is in contradistinction to the concept of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy (Luke 12:1). Hypocrisy is a form of self-inflated ego or pride where one thinks that he is better than he really is or better than someone else based on outward show, but in reality, it\u2019s a sham. The Greek word for hypocrisy (hupokrisis<\/i>) literally means \u201cto play act like an actor, to pretend, to simulate, to feign.\u201d This kind of sinful behavior doesn\u2019t belong in one who is a new, unleavened lump in Yeshua.<\/p>\n

This feast helps us to focus on putting sin out of our lives and replacing it with righteousness. This can only be done with the help of the resurrection power of Yeshua living in us through his Holy Spirit. This is why the next feast to occur after Unleavened Bread is the Feast of Pentecost, which celebrates the receipt of the Holy Spirit who came to empower us to keep the laws of Elohim (the opposite of sin) by writing them on our hearts \u2014 that is, giving us the internal desire and fortitude to obey them.<\/p>\n

Unleavened Bread Is the Bread of Affliction<\/b><\/p>\n

Scripture calls unleavened bread \u201cthe bread of affliction [poverty, misery, to be humbled, to put down, to stoop, to be depressed, to come low].\u201d<\/p>\n

Thou shalt eat no leavened bread with it; seven days shalt thou eat unleavened bread therewith, even the bread of affliction<\/b>; for thou camest forth out of the land of Egypt in haste: that thou mayest remember the day when thou camest forth out of the land of Egypt all the days of thy life. (Deut 16:3)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Unleavened bread pictures the Israelites coming out of Egypt where they were afflicted in bondage under the cruel slavemaster\u2019s whip. But even as each of us has been set free from spiritual enslavement to Satan and this world, we still have to endure the wilderness of this life en route to the Promised Land of our spiritual inheritance in the kingdom of Elohim. As Yeshua suffered for us that we might have life through him, we must follow in his footsteps as we endure suffering and persecution to be victorious over the world, the flesh and the devil even as he was.<\/p>\n

The Resurrection Life of Yeshua<\/b><\/p>\n

Yeshua resurrected during the Feast of Unleavened Bread. The importance of this event can\u2019t be overemphasized. Now through the power of his resurrected life, believers have the ability to overcome the power of death as represented by yeast and leaven, which is a picture of sin, and to live in an unleavened or sin-free state.<\/p>\n

Unleavened Bread Versus Manna<\/b><\/p>\n

During the Feast of Unleavened Bread, YHVH commands us to eat matzoh, which is a picture of the sin-free Yeshua. The Scriptures call it the bread of affliction, since it memorializes the end of the Israelites\u2019 enslavement in Egypt. The unleavened bread also marked the beginning of Israel\u2019s freedom, for it was on the first day of this festival that they came out of Egypt. It was the unleavened bread that they made while exiting Egypt that empowered them physically for their trek out of the land of their affliction. After that, YHVH fed them manna, which was\u00a0 the bread of life that empowered them to press onward to the Promised Land. The unleavened bread symbolizes taking into ourselves the sinless life of Yeshua who empowers us to leave the Egypt of the old self behind with its life of bondage to sin, the devil and the rudiments of this world.<\/p>\n

Unleavened bread of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the bread of communion and that bread that was offered at the daily sacrifices is different than the manna YHVH fed the Israelites each day. The manna is the bread of life to which Yeshua speaks about in John 6:33, 50, 51. Though different, the unleavened bread and manna each point to something different about Yeshua. The unleavened bread commemorates leaving the sin of Egypt behind and identifying with the broken and sinless body of Yeshua on the cross. The manna, on the other hand, fed and nourished Israel on a daily basis during their journey through the wilderness en route to the Promised Land. The manna is a prophetic metaphor speaking of how the Word of Elohim (both through the Written Word and the leading of the Holy Spirit) sustains the redeemed believer through the wilderness of life. The manna is about living in and through the power of YHVH\u2019s Word, while the unleavened bread of the Passover communion, the Feast of Unleavened Bread and the daily sacrifices is about dying to old lifestyles and deliverance from and forsaking the leavening of sin through Yeshua\u2019s death on the cross. The manna is all about receiving Elohim\u2019s spiritual provision, whereas the unleavened bread is all about dying to self, and leaving sin and the world behind.<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/b><\/p>\n

Paul instructed believers to celebrate the Feast of Unleavened Bread (1 Cor 5:8). So why doesn\u2019t the whole Christian church worldwide do so?<\/p>\n
