JUDGEMENT 47
Ex 23:18 Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread;
My comments:
Leavened bread is not to be offered with God`s sacrifices.
Leaven is baking soda or yeast which is used to raise bread, cakes and dough.
Leviticus 2:11 ¶ No meal offering which you give to the Lord is to be made with leaven; no leaven or honey is to be burned as an offering made by fire to the Lord.
Cakes, buns, biscuits and bread made with leaven often have sugar added to them. The type of sugars found in honey are similar to those in white and brown sugar – sucrose, dextrose, and glucose. They have the effect of quickly raising our blood sugar with a corresponding output of insulin. Then the effect wears off, resulting in a depressed feeling.
These sugars, although OK in moderation at other times, should not be eaten at God`s feasts or on his holy days.
Lactose is milk sugar, which does not react on the body the same way glucose does; neither does fructose (fruit sugar) which is Ok for a holy day and it is found naturally in fruit anyway.
Unleavened bread should be eaten during the 8 days of the spring and autumn festivals – unleavened items are very many and varied and consist of such things as crackers, crispbread, ryvita, noodles, pasta, pancakes, choux pastry, vol-au-vents, spaghetti, some unleavened kinds of wraps, and certain types of chapattis and puppodoms. Also the same items made from rice or rice flour.
There is one unusual holy day – Pentecost – when two leavened loaves are baked and eaten, representing the firstfruits.
Leviticus 23:17 Ye shall bring out of your habitations two wave loaves of two tenth deals: they shall be of fine flour; they shall be baken with leaven; they are the firstfruits unto the LORD.
The Pentecost meal can be eaten late on the evening before the Day of Pentecost, after sunset – lamb or beef or kid along with wine, 2 leavened loaves, salt, olive oil and spices.
Leaven is a symbol of teaching – the teaching which was put into Israel at the time of Moses, and secondly the teaching of the Pharisees, John the Baptist and Christ and the apostles in the first century, and thirdly in this end time now the teaching which goes out into all the world about the gospel of the kingdom of God before the end of this age.
Matthew 13:33 Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.
Leaven can also represent untruthful doctrine which produces wickedness, which we shouldn`t find at God`s feasts:
1 Corinthians 5:8 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.
