The Feast of Unleavened Bread - חַג
הַמַּצּוֹת
Feast of being Humble
Matzot / Humble bread, not puffed up
Luke.23
[53] And he
took Yeshua down, and wrapped him in linen, and laid him in a
sepulcher that was hewn in stone, wherein never man before was laid.
[54] And that day was the preparation, and the Sabbath drew on.
[55] And the women also, which came with him from Galilee, followed
after, and beheld the sepulcher, and how his body was laid.
[56] And they returned, and
prepared spices and ointments; and rested the Sabbath day according
to the commandment.
** Below, verse 7…
Lev.23
[1]
And Yehovah spoke unto Moses, saying,
[2] Speak unto the children
of Israel, and say unto them, concerning the feasts of Yehovah, which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations,
even these
are My feasts.
[3] Six days shall work be
done: but the seventh day is the Sabbath of rest, a holy convocation; you shall
do no work therein: it is the Sabbath of Yehovah in all your dwellings.
[4] These are the feasts of Yehovah, even holy convocations, which you
shall proclaim in their seasons.
[5] In the fourteenth day
of the first month at even is Yehovah's Passover.
[6] And on the fifteenth
day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread unto Yehovah: seven
days you must eat unleavened bread.
**[7] In the first day you shall have a holy
convocation: you shall do no servile
work therein.
[8] But you shall offer an
offering made by fire unto Yehovah seven days: in the seventh day is a holy convocation: you
shall do no servile work therein
“Offering time
They shall not appear
before Yehovah empty
Exod.23 [14] Three times you shall keep
a feast unto me in the year.
[15]
You shall keep the feast of unleavened bread: (you shall eat unleavened bread seven days, as I
commanded you, in the time appointed of the month ha Aviv - for in it you came
out from Egypt: and none shall appear before me empty:)
[16] And the feast of
harvest (weeks, Pentecost), the first fruits of your labors, which you hast
sown in the field:
and the feast of ingathering,(tabernacles)
which is in the end of the year, when you hast gathered in your labors out of
the field.[17] Three times in the year all your males shall appear before the
Lord Yehovah.
Deut. 16 [16] Three times in a year shall all your males
appear before Yehovah your God in the place which he shall
choose; in the feast of unleavened
bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles: and they shall not appear before Yehovah empty:
[17] Every man (person)
shall give as he (they are) is able, according to the blessing
of Yehovah your God which he hath given you. “Offering time”
The bread of affliction
Feast of being Humble
Being Humble
Matt.18
[1] At the same time
came the disciples unto Yeshua, saying, who is the greatest in the kingdom
of heaven?
[2]
And Yeshua called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst
of them,
[3] And said, Verily I say unto you, Except you be converted, and become as
little children, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
[4] Whosoever therefore
shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
Matt.23
[1] Then
spoke Yeshua to the multitude, and to his disciples,
[2] Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat:
[3] All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do;
but do not you after their works: for they say, and do not.
[4] For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them
on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their
fingers.
[5] But all their works they do for to be seen of
men: they make broad their
phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments,
[6] And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the
synagogues,
[7] And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi.
[8] But be not you called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even
Messiah; and all you are brethren.
[9] And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.
[10] Neither be you called masters: for one is your Master, even Messiah.
[11] But he that is
greatest among you shall
be your servant.
[12] And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be
abased; and he that shall
humble himself shall be
exalted.
Luke 18
[9] And he
spoke this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they
were righteous, and despised others:
[10] Two men went up
into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.
[11] The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank
thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or
even as this publican.
[12] I fast twice in
the week; I give tithes of all that I possess.
[13] And the
publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven,
but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.
[14] I tell you,
this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalts himself shall
be abased; and he that humbles himself shall be
exalted.
Yeshua’ example
Phil.2
[1] If there be therefore
any consolation in Messiah, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the
Spirit, if any bowels and mercies,
[2] Fulfill you my joy,
that you be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.
[3] Let nothing be done
through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other
better than themselves.
[4] Look not every man on
his own things, but every man also on the things of others.
[5] Let this mind be in you, which was also in Messiah Yeshua:
[6] Who, being in the form
of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:[7] But made himself of no
reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the
likeness of men:[8] And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself,
and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
Col.3
[12] Put on therefore, as
the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; [13] Forbearing one
another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even
as Messiah forgave you, so also do you.
[14] And above all these things put on charity, which
is the bond of perfectness.
James said:
Jas.4 …God resists the proud, but God gives grace unto the humble.
[10] Humble yourselves in the sight
of Yehovah, and He shall lift you up.
Luke.14
[7] And he put forth a
parable to those which were bidden, when he marked how they chose out the chief
rooms; saying unto them,
[8] When you are bidden of
any man to a wedding, sit not down in the highest room; lest a more honorable
man than you be bidden of him;
[9] And he that bade you and him come and say to you, Give this man place; and
you begin with shame to take the lowest room.
[10] But when you are
bidden, go and sit down in the lowest room; that when he that bade you comes,
he may say unto you, Friend, go up higher: then shall you have worship in the
presence of them that sit at meat with you.
[11] For whosoever exalts
himself shall be abased;
and he that humbles himself
shall be exalted.
Saul said to Timothy:
1Tim.5
[1] Rebuke not an elder,
but entreat him as a father; and the younger men as brethren;
[2] The elder women as
mothers; the younger as sisters, with all purity.
Peter said:
1Pet.5
[5] Likewise, you younger, submit yourselves unto the elder.
Yea, all of you be subject
one to another, and be clothed with humility:
for God resists the proud, and gives grace to the humble.
[6] Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty
hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: [7] Casting all your care upon him; for He
cares for you.
[8] Be sober, be
vigilant; because your adversary
the devil, as a roaring lion, walks about, seeking whom he may devour: who resist steadfast in
the faith…
Yeshua’s lessons
Luke.22
[1] Now the feast of unleavened bread drew
nigh, which is called the Passover.
[24] And there was also a
strife among them, which of them should be accounted the greatest.
[25] And he said unto them, the kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over
them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors.
[26] But you shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger;
and he that is chief, as he that doth serve.
[27]
For whether is greater, he that sits at meat, or he that serves? Is
not he that sits at meat? But I, Yeshua am among you as He that serves…
Deut.16 - ha Aviv
The bread of
affliction - לֶחֶם עֹנִי
[1] Observe the month
of Abib, ha Aviv and keep
the Passover unto Yehovah your God: for in the month
of Abib Yehovah your God brought you forth out of Egypt by
night.
[2] You shall therefore
sacrifice the Passover unto Yehovah your God, of the flock
and the herd, in the place which Yehovah shall choose to place his
name there.
[3] You shall eat no leavened bread with
it; seven
days shall you eat unleavened bread therewith, even the
bread of affliction; for
you came forth out of the land of Egypt in haste: that
you may remember the day when you came forth out of the
land of Egypt all the days of your life.
[4] And there shall be no leavened bread seen with you
in all your coast seven days; neither shall there anything of the flesh,
which you sacrifice the first day at even, remain all night
until the morning.
Unleavened bread, the bread of affliction
Get the “old leaven” out (of your hearts, lives)
I mean false doctrines, hypocrisy, malice and
wickedness
Paul says:
1 Cor. 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.
Beware of
"leaven" - false doctrines and hypocrisy
Beware of false religious
leaders: pastors, teachers and rabbis, Messianics, websites, social media
platforms, false YouTube religious programs etc…
Hypocrisy
Isa. 32 [6] For the vile person will
speak villainy, and his heart will work iniquity, to practice hypocrisy, and to utter error against Yehovah, to
make empty the soul of the hungry, and he will cause the drink of the thirsty
to fail.
חֹ֗נֶף chôneph - kho'-nef - moral filth, that is,
wickedness: - hypocrisy
- godlessness,
hypocrite, profaneness, soiled (that is, with sin), impious and godless
Luke 12
[1] In the mean
time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people,
insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his
disciples first of all, Beware you of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
Matt. 16
[6]
Then Yeshua said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.
[7] And they reasoned among themselves, saying, it is
because we have taken no bread.
[8] Which when Yeshua perceived, he said unto them, O you of little
faith, why reason you among yourselves, because you have brought no bread?
[9] Do you not yet understand, neither do you remember the five
loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets you took up?
[10] Neither the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many
baskets you took up?
[11] How is it that you do not understand that
I spoke it not to you concerning bread, that you should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees
and of the Sadducees?
[12] Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the
leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.
Mark 8
[11] And the Pharisees came
forth, and began to question with him, seeking of him a sign from heaven, tempting him.
[12] And he sighed deeply in his spirit, and says, why doth this
generation seek after a sign? Verily, truly I say unto you, There
shall no sign be given unto this generation.
[13] And he left them, and entering into the ship again departed to the other
side.
[14] Now the disciples had forgotten to take bread, neither had they in the
ship with them more than one loaf.
[15] And he charged them,
saying, take heed, beware of the
leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod.
[16] And they reasoned
among themselves, saying, it is because we have no bread.
[17] And when Yeshua knew it, he says unto
them, why reason you, because you have no
bread? Perceive you not yet, neither understand? Is your heart
yet hardened?
[18] Having eyes,
see you not? And having ears, hear you
not? And do you not remember?
[19] When I broke the five loaves among five thousand, how many
baskets full of fragments took you up? They say unto him, Twelve.
[20] And when the seven among four thousand, how many baskets full of fragments
took you up? And they said, Seven.
[21] And he said unto them, how is it that you do not understand?
Most pseudo Christians
are still observing made up Easter
Passover, Feast of
Unleavened Bread, First fruits, Feast of Weeks - Pentecost are in the gospels and letters.
Yeshua, the apostles and
Saul all observed these holy days
Remember, these Holy days
were first observed by the children of Israel 1000’s of years ago.
We also in the 21 century do
these days in memorial.
Exod.12 [14] and this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and you shall keep it a feast
to Yehovah throughout your generations; you shall keep it a feast by
an ordinance forever.
[15] Seven days shall you
eat unleavened bread; even the first day you shall put away leaven out of your
houses: for whosoever eats leavened bread from the first day until
the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel.
[16] And in the first day there shall be a holy convocation, and in
the seventh day there shall be a holy convocation to you;
no manner of work shall be done in them, save that which every man must eat, that only may
be done of you.
[17] And you shall observe
the feast of unleavened bread; for in this selfsame day have I brought your
armies out of the land of Egypt: therefore shall you observe this day
in your generations by an ordinance forever.
[18] In the first month, on
the fourteenth day of the month at even, you shall eat unleavened bread, until
the one and twentieth day of the month at even.
[19] Seven days shall there
be no leaven found in your houses: for whosoever eats that which is
leavened, even that soul shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel,
whether he be a stranger, or born in the land.
[20] You shall eat nothing
leavened; in all your habitations shall you eat unleavened bread.
In closing for now:
Isa.26 [3] You, God will keep him in perfect
peace, whose mind is stayed on You: because he / she trusts in You God.
