Humble bread, not puffed up
A
Sabbath – ha Aviv 15
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.
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

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 have sown in the field:
and the feast of ingathering,(tabernacles)
which is in the end of the year, when you have 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 is able, according to the blessing of Yehovah your God which he had given you.
The bread

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’s 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.
Peter
said:
1Pet.5
[5] Likewise,
you younger, submit yourselves unto
the elder.
… 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)
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
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
- this is in a a few gospels
[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.
In Acts 12:4 the word Easter should be pascha, Passover
Passover, Feast of
Unleavened Bread, First fruits, Feast of Weeks - Pentecost are in the gospels and letters.
These
Holy days were first observed by the children of Israel 1000’s of years ago.
Yeshua, the apostles and Paul all
observed these holy days
We, 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 today:
Be humble…
Have a great Feast!
