Exodus 12

We are walking in today:  Understanding Kingdom--Get The Leaven Out Of Your Physical House And Spiritual House!!

Witness unleavened  throughout the Bible:  H4682 matstsah--unleavened (bread, cake), without leaven

Matthew 26:17 [ Jesus Celebrates Passover with His Disciples ] Now on the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying to Him, “Where do You want us to prepare for You to eat the Passover?”

Torah:  Genesis 19:3; Exodus 12:8, 12:15, 12:20, 13:6, 23:15, 34:18; Leviticus 6:16; Numbers 9:11; Deuteronomy 16:3

Prophets:  1 Samuel 28:24; Ezra 6:22, Ezekiel 45:21

Writings:  Joshua 5:11; Judges 6:19, 6:20, 6:21; 2 Kings 23:9; 1 Chronicles 23:29; 2 Chronicles 8:13, 30:13, 30:21, 35:17

Acts 12:3 And because he saw that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to seize Peter also. Now it was during the Days of Unleavened Bread.


Exodus 12:15-20  15 “‘For seven days you are to eat matzah — on the first day remove the leaven from your houses. For whoever eats hametz [leavened bread] from the first to the seventh day is to be cut off from Isra’el. 16 On the first and seventh days, you are to have an assembly set aside for God. On these days no work is to be done, except what each must do to prepare his food; you may do only that. 17 You are to observe the festival of matzah, for on this very day I brought your divisions out of the land of Egypt. Therefore, you are to observe this day from generation to generation by a perpetual regulation. 18 From the evening of the fourteenth day of the first month until the evening of the twenty-first day, you are to eat matzah. 19 During those seven days, no leaven is to be found in your houses. Whoever eats food with hametz in it is to be cut off from the community of Isra’el — it doesn’t matter whether he is a foreigner or a citizen of the land. 20 Eat nothing with hametz in it. Wherever you live, eat matzah.’”

Passover (Feast of Unleavened Bread)

Before we can begin to go into the meaning of Leaven and the Passover, as we have explained Passover in yesterday’s lesson. Let’s look at the two words given in Exodus 12:17 “Perpetual Regulation”. Perpetual is defined as never changing and never ending. The only thing that I can even phantom in my finite mind that never changes and never ends is El Elyon Himself. As well as every statute that He deemed as never ending. So this Festival is to be observed forever by His decree as a King unto His people regardless of what the other nations observed as Holidays, Feast days, or what have you. Now the second word we’ll look at is regulation which is defined as a rule or directive ruled and maintained by an authority. Ruled and maintained means the author has the authority to change and maintain its directive at his authorization and no one else can change its directive but the authority that gave it.

So with that being explained, as the children of a King, His authority is the only authority you would follow if He is truly your King. Or you will follow the decree of another King and that is your King.

Now unto the first day of this awesome feast day let’s go into the explanation of the Feast of Unleavened Bread and its beautiful definition that shows the love of an omnipotent the Most High and His awesome style of teaching us spiritual definitions as He gives us physical examples. To point to who He is and what He has done for us.

Motzah isn’t just about eating crackers and not having any yeast in your diet or house for 7 days. The Motzah represents God coming in the form of His creation as a perfect man to be a sacrifice for our fall of His original plan. Man being rulers of El Elyon here on this planet. That Kingship was lost by the fall of the Original man Adam. Then the kingship was reestablished to man by Yeshua as a man. The leaven is the rise of sin in the hearts of man. That is the significance of not eating leavened bread. Yeshua was sinless perfect in the significance of the lamb that was slain for the redemption of man. The lamb that was slain before the foundations of the world. Planned out by an omnipresent one the Most High knowing His creation would fail. Yet His infinite love made atonement for us who slew Him. Do you realize how powerful that is HE SACRIFICED HIMSELF FOR HIS OWN CREATION SO WE WOULDN’T HAVE TO!!!

Exodus 12:34  The people took their dough before it had become leavened and wrapped their kneading bowls in their clothes on their shoulders.

Revelation 13:8  Everyone living on earth will worship it except those whose names are written in the Book of Life belonging to the Lamb slaughtered before the world was founded.

Revelations 19:16  And on his robe and on his thigh he has a name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.

Hebrews 10:11-18  11 And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering time and again the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins.  12 But this Man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God,  13 from henceforth to wait until His enemies be made His footstool.  14 For by one offering He hath perfected forever those who are sanctified.
15 Of this the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us; for after He had said before,  16 “This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord: I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;  17 and their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.”  18 Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.

In the first Passover, the Most High commanded each Hebrew household in Egypt to sacrifice a perfect yearling lamb and sprinkle the blood on the lintels and the doorposts. The “Angel of Death” then passed over the houses which were protected by the blood of the lamb, but where there was no blood, the first born was slain. This account is found in Exodus 11.

Modern Passover observances include the removal of chametz (leaven) from the homes. This commemorates the fact that the Hebrews leaving Egypt did not have time to let their bread rise. Leaven is also a biblical symbol for sin. Consequently, Matzo or unleavened bread is eaten during the feast.

Another significant element in the Passover observance are the five cups of wine. Each cup recalls one of the five statements of deliverance found in the Passover account
1) “I will bring you out …”
2) “I will rid you of all their bondage.”
3) “I will redeem you …”
4) “I will take you to me for a people, …”
5) “I will bring you into the Land …”
Consequently, four toasts are offered to God thanking Him for His deliverance. The four toasts are all named:
1) the Cup of Thanksgiving
2) the Cup of Plagues
3) the Cup of Redemption
4) the Cup of Praise. Offering the fifth cup awaits the appearance of Elijah the Prophet to precede the coming of the Messiah.

Exodus 6:6-8  6 “Therefore, say to the people of Isra’el: ‘I am Adonai. I will free you from the forced labor of the Egyptians, rescue you from their oppression, and redeem you with an outstretched arm and with great judgments. 7 I will take you as my people, and I will be your God. Then you will know that I am Adonai your God, who freed you from the forced labor of the Egyptians. 8 I will bring you into the land which I swore to give to Avraham, Yitz’chak and Ya‘akov — I will give it to you as your inheritance. I am Adonai.’”

What’s even so crazy to me as we study the life of Yeshua--everything He asked the children of Israel to do from the beginning by a perpetual regulation. He observed Passover with His disciples and told them to do this in remembrance of Me. Yes, the last supper wasn’t just them sitting there eating bread and wine. But the feast Day Yeshua gave from the beginning to Moses!! Was in fact the same Passover Seder meal defined and prescribed in scripture to the children of Israel!!! Hallelujah!!!! The Lamb sat with His Children before He offered up His life for atonement for our fallen state. To reinstate us to Him,  Redeem us!!!! Glorrryyyy!!!!!

John 1:1-5  1 In the beginning was the Word,  and the Word was with God,  and the Word was God.  2 He was with God in the beginning.  3 All things came to be through him,  and without him nothing made had being.  4 In him was life,  and the life was the light of mankind.  5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not suppressed it.

Mathew 26:17-29  17 Now on the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the disciples came to Jesus, saying unto Him, “Where wilt Thou that we prepare for Thee to eat the Passover?”  18 And He said, “Go into the city to a certain man and say unto him, ‘The Master saith, “My time is at hand; I will keep the Passover at thy house with My disciples.”  19 And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them, and they made ready the Passover.  20 Now when the evening had come, He sat down with the twelve.  21 And as they ate, He said, “Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray Me.”  22 And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one of them to say unto Him, “Lord, is it I?”  23 And He answered and said, “He that dippeth his hand with Me in the dish, the same shall betray Me.  24 The Son of Man goeth as it is written of Him, but woe unto that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It had been good for that man if he had not been born.”  25 Then Judas, who betrayed Him, answered and said, “Master, is it I?” He said unto him, “Thou hast said.”
26 And as they were eating, Jesus took bread and blessed it and broke it, and gave it to the disciples and said, “Take, eat; this is My body.”  27 And He took the cup and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, “Drink ye all of it;  28 for this is My blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.  29 But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new with you in My Father’s Kingdom.

The more we observe the Passover Seder meal the more revelation comes out and the more we see Yeshua’s Love and Power for us and over sin. For first comes the physical then comes the Spiritual. By removing the leaven out of our homes and only eating unleavened bread. We remove the ignorance of the gospel and mission of Yeshua. We remove sin out of our hearts by accepting the once and for all Eternal ioffering of El Elyon himself, for us to walk a redemptive life because of His act of perfect love for us!!!! My petition to Abba is that you do not follow the pagan ways of this world that keep you in the proverbial bondage and ignorance of Egypt because whom the Son sets free is free indeed!

John 8:36  If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.

Shema Selah, let us get the leaven out of your life in both the natural and the spiritual!!  Facebook LIVE video
