The Feast of Unleven Bread

The feast of Unleavened Bread celebrates the journey of the children of Israel through the wilderness, when following Passover and the Exodus, they ate unleavened bread for thirty days which then was substituted by the manna (actual food) which Yahweh Himself provided for them for the rest of their journey to the promised land of Israel. The fact that it was unleavened symbolised that they were not taking with them any of the contaminating influence of Egypt, which represented the culture of the world, only the pure bread of life. Scripturally, Bread has always represented the Word of God, the Torah. So eating bread which was not leavened is a type of eating the pure Word of Yahweh God, unadulterated by the philosophies and doctrines of man. All erroneous doctrine and wrong mind-sets have their origin in the philosophies of this world which is governed by the ruler of this world who first began to impregnate man's thinking in the garden of Eden. Leaven, used in this context, is that which has its origin in the deception of the enemy and is contrary to the truth of the Word which has its outworking in all unrighteousness which is sin (1 John 5:17).

Because of the Passover Lamb, which is celebrated first; instead of sinning by falling short of Yahweh's standard, we can now walk according to the truth of His Word. Doing it for seven days (seven is the number of spiritual perfection) represents us individually and corporately coming to ultimate perfection and walking completely free of any shortcomings - i.e. the end-time perfection of the saints. The seventh day Sabbath when they were delivered from their enemies in the Red Sea crossing, represents our final deliverance from the enemy of our souls which was initiated when we went under the waters of immersion. At that time we were translated out of his kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of light.
