The Feast of Unleavened Bread
(Abib 15th-21st) Celebration of the coming
Millennial Kingdom
Exodus 12:15
Seven days shall you eat unleavened bread;
even the first day you shall put away yeast (fermented
starter dough) out of your houses, for whoever eats leavened bread
from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from
Israel (Promised Land or Coming Kingdom).
Exodus 29:2
Unleavened bread, unleavened cakes mixed
with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil: you shall make them of fine
wheat flour.
Leviticus 2:4-7, 11, 13 the "Preparation" of Unleavened Bread
4 When you offer an offering of a
meal-offering baked in the oven, it shall be unleavened cakes of fine (wheat) flour mingled with oil, or unleavened
wafers anointed with oil. 5 If your offering is a meal-offering of the
baking-pan, it shall be of unleavened fine (wheat)
flour, mingled with oil. 6 You shall cut it in pieces, and pour oil on it. It
is a meal-offering. 7 If your offering be a meal-offering of the frying-pan, it
shall be made of fine (wheat) flour with
oil. 11 No meal-offering, which you shall offer to Yahuah, shall be made with
yeast (Starter Dough); for you shall burn no yeast, nor any honey, as an
offering made by fire to Yahuah. 13 Every offering of your meal-offering shall
you season with salt; neither shall you allow the (symbolic)
salt of the covenant of your God to be lacking from your meal-offering.
Matthew 5:13
You (the spiritual
children of Yahuah) are the salt of the Earth: but if the salt has lost
his savor, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing,
but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.
Hebrews 10:16-23 The New Covenant – Mikveh, Circumcision, and Offering
16 "This is the covenant (marriage vow) that I will make with them: 'After
those days,' says Yahuah, 'I will put My laws on their heart, I will also write
them on their mind;'" then, 17 "I will remember their sins and their
iniquities no more." (Because they will be
Spiritually Perfected and purified through Mikveh) 18 Now where there
is remission of sin (through Mikveh),
there is no more offering for sin. 19 Having therefore, brothers, boldness to
enter into the holy place (and offer your life as a
living sacrifice) by the blood (sacrifice)
of Yahusha, 20 by the way which he dedicated for us (to follow his example), a new and living (sacrificial) way, through the veil, that is to
say, (the veil was torn in two by the offering of)
his flesh (providing us bold access to the mercy
seat of Yahuah); 21 and having a great (high)
priest (Yahusha) over the house of Yahuah
(even the house of David) ; 22 let us
draw near with a true (circumcised) heart
in fullness of faith (that we have been granted
access to the altar of Yahuah through Yahusha’s sacrifice which tore the veil
to the Holy of Holies), having our hearts sprinkled from an evil
conscience (sanctified fulfillment of Red Heifer),
and having our body washed with pure water (spiritual
cleansing through Mikveh), 23 let us hold fast the confession of our
hope (that Yahuah will accept our living sacrifice).
For He who promised is faithful.
Numbers 9:10-13 If unable to keep the Passover and The Feast of Unleavened
Bread due to travel or uncleanness
10 Speak to the children of Israel, saying,
If any man of you or of your generations shall be unclean by reason of a dead
body, or be on a journey afar off (possible living
or sojourning in a foreign country other than Israel), yet he shall
keep the Passover to Yahuah. 11 In the second month on the fourteenth day at
even (twilight dusk) they shall keep it;
they shall eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs: 12 they shall leave
none of it to the morning, nor break a bone of it: according to all the statute
of the Passover they shall keep it.
The day before (the preparation day) we all should
have re-affirmed our commitment to The Yahushaic Covenant by eating leavened
bread and drinking the blood of the covenant i.e. wine. We should have prepared
ourselves by following the example set by Yahusha (Mikveh, Circumcision, and
Offering). Now on this High Sabbath we celebrate the kingdom of Yahuah for
7 days. We do this as a Moedim or “rehearsal”.
It should be remembered that prior to dusk (prior to UB)
"Leavened Bread" (Artos) may be eaten, however, once the
"sacrificial lamb symbolic of each or our own bodies offered as living
sacrifices without spot or blemish" is served, then the Passover Meal on
the Feast of Unleavened Bread is eaten with unleavened bread representing our
new life free from sin (leaven).
The Passover meal (now without leavened bread) may
continue well into the night (after dusk), but the meal must end prior to dawn
and in plenty of time to burn any leftover lamb and-or discovered uneaten
leaven (crumbs, etc.). This act of purging leaven is symbolic of the
purging of all “sinners” from Earth prior to the establishment The kingdom of
Yahuah on Earth. Leaven representing sin and all law-breakers:
Matthew 13:41
The Son of Man will send his angels, and they
will gather out of His Kingdom all causes of sin and all law-breakers
Moreover, whenever a fire will be needed for cooking the Passover
Lamb, that fire must be kindled prior to the beginning of the High Sabbath of
the Feast of Unleavened Bread. This burning (fire) must never extend
into the dawn (morning twilight) of Abib 15th because it is
symbolic of Yahuah’s wrath. This burning fire is symbolic of The Word of Yahuah
which consumes all those who are disobedient i.e. sinners PRIOR to the
Millennial Kingdom:
Jeremiah 5:14
Therefore, thus says Yahuah, the God of
hosts, "Because you have spoken this word, Behold, I am making My words in
your mouth fire And this people wood, and it will consume them.
This consuming wrath of Yahuah ends as we enter His Kingdom,
and all sinners (leaven) has been purged. Therefore, the restriction on
“kindling a fire” on The High Sabbath of the first day of The Feast of
Unleavened Bread which is an annual rehearsal of the coming Kingdom. During the
Millennial Reign or The Kingdom of Yahuah on Earth; Yahuah’s wrath is not
kindled and there is no sin or law-breakers.
The Feast of Unleavened Bread is a celebration of what
happened in our lives on Passover the Day of Preparation as we became full
members of the Household of Yahuah called the Commonwealth of Israel, and
celebrate the coming Kingdom of Yahuah on Earth.
