Lesson # Exodus 12:15-20 Study Material - Exodus 12:15-20 You must be in fellowship prior to your Bible study, so that the spiritual information you receive can become a source of blessing to your soul and produce spiritual growth. Ex. 12:15-20 15 'Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, but on the first day you shall remove leaven from your houses; for whoever eats anything leavened from the first day until the seventh day, that person shall be cut off from Israel. 16 'And on the first day you shall have a holy assembly, and another holy assembly on the seventh day; no work at all shall be done on them, except what must be eaten by every person, that alone may be prepared by you. 17 'You shall also observe the Feast of Unleavened Bread, for on this very day I brought your hosts out of the land of Egypt; therefore you shall observe this day throughout your generations as a permanent ordinance. 18 'In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at evening, you shall eat unleavened bread, until the twenty-first day of the month at evening. 19 'Seven days there shall be no leaven found in your houses; for whoever eats what is leavened, that person shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he is an alien or a native of the land. 20 'You shall not eat anything leavened; in all your dwellings you shall eat unleavened bread.' The directions of the Passover have been given. This the first Passover feast immediately preceding the exodus, thus the preparation and readiness to travel at a moments notice. Immediately following the celebration of the Passover on the fourteenth day of the first month, is the seven day celebration of the Feast of Unleaven bread beginning on the fifteenth and running for seven days to the twenty second of the month, Lev. 23:6. These dates begin as of the evening of the previous day the fourteenth, through the evening of the seventh day, the twenty first. See verse 18. The Hebrew day begins at evening time, around 6 pm and runs for 24 hours until the evening of the following day. Ours in contrast runs from midnight to midnight. So the Feast of Unleaven bread begins on the evening of the 14th. The first day concluding at evening time on the 15th, and so forth for seven days until the evening of the 22nd, thus ending the seventh day of celebration. Leaven in bread dough comes from the yeast. Yeast adds the air or such to make the bread rise. Unleaven bread is that without yeast, or no additives. In the spiritual sense, leaven represents the corruption added to the Plan of God, Matt. 16:6 and 1 Cor. 5:7. It includes sin for sure, but also includes human good, both of these ingredients have been rejected by God per this current passage. 'for whoever eats anything leavened from the first day until the seventh day, that person shall be cut off' No sin, no human ingenuity, no human plan is allowed to corrupt the plan of God, and especially the salvation portion. Only the work of Christ on the Cross is acceptable and recognized by the Father. Seven is of course the number of Gods completion . In His plan one is saved by means of faith in Christ, one grows spiritually by means of study of His Word. The completion of mans life is represented in several ways. First, in this life, spiritual maturity is the attainment of Gods rest, or the completion of spiritual growth to the point of maturity. In the next life we are completed permanently and forever when we receive our resurrection bodies. That of course will not occur until the rapture. Following the rapture, there will be held the Judgment Seat of Christ wherein all believers from our Church Age, the Bride of Christ, will be judged (evaluated) based on the Bible doctrine resident in their souls. As a result of that evaluation, wherein we will be held to account by Christ, some who have much spiritual growth, will receive much in terms of reward, crowns, blessings, etc., and those who have little spiritual growth, will receive little as far as additional blessings go. We studied that in the first three chapters of Revelation. There is to be a congregation or an assembly on the first day and the last day of the feast. All spiritual life begins with God and His plan and His Word, and it ends with God, etc. Everything in between comes from God alone as well. There is no room for human intervention, no room for human additives, no room for modification of Gods plan by mankind. No other religion, no other philosophy, nothing can be added to Gods plan, and nothing can take away from Gods plan. There is no alternative to Gods plan. We are saved by believing in Christ and by no other method. We receive spiritual growth to maturity by means of Gods word alone and by no other method or system of human wisdom. No work is to be done on these first and last days. Again, no human effort can be added to Gods plan for our spiritual life. All the work is done by God, therefore all the credit goes to God alone, therefore all the glory pertinent goes to God alone as well. Man can neither earn nor deserve what God gives to us freely. Therefore, man needs to live inside of Gods fellowship, that is to say, by not having any leaven (anything that would corrupt the spiritual life) inside their homes, inside their bodies, inside their lives. 
Now is the time to post a prayer. End Of Lesson Study to show thyself approved (mature) unto God, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing (studying/discerning), the Word of truth. |
