- This study looks at the typology of the feasts of Passover, Unleavened Bread, First Fruits and Pentecost. You will see how they are actually a kind of prophecy about Christ which Jesus fulfilled at His first coming. The next study in this series will look at how the remaining feasts of Israel foreshadow Jesus. See the whole playlist here. • How to Find Jesus in t...

so many pastors are simply motivational speakers who only reference one -3 verses briefly in a sermon to boost up their motivational speech. Mike winger is actually a teacher of the word of God ! hard to find and I feel like I need to watch his sermons more than once because they are heavy but good.
Sarah Sophia I agree.
The Sabbath he talks about is he speaking of Sabbath on Saturday?
That's becasue you've been in christendom.
Yes I also have to listen a few times to get it all. There is so much packed into his sermons. I've had a hard time finding a good Bible teaching church. I feel like most pastors say a whole bunch of sweet nothings. Not only do I leave church feeling like I learned nothing but like they aren't even teaching the gospel and they really said nothing. 😔 Such a sad feeling. So glad for pastors like Mike. He's one of several I really enjoy listening to. Thank God for these resources.
agree 100%. i have no use for prosperity message or motivational speech. just the B I B L E. that's the book for me.
just take a look around and see how church attendance is. quite obviously most people agree with us, but pastors and their so called churches haven't got the message.
in my town, lancaster, pa, there's probably a dozen big big churches in the downtown area. each one has about 20 or 30 people show up on sunday. churches used to be full, that's how they were able to afford such big buildings.
pastors should be preaching the bible and not the politically correct message of the year. that means they should be preaching no porn, modesty, chastity, no homosexuality, no abortion, etc.
Its amazing, wow. Notice even on the Sabbath day, Jesus rested.
Cool
"It's not like God timed Jesus dying to match the feast of passover. I think God timed the passover to match the time of Jesus dying. He is the chief thing here, this is the shadow". 👍
God is so awesome. Look at how he lined it all up perfectly. He alone is Holy. Praise God !
I love his love honor and respect for the Truth in scripture we have been taught wrong abs this man recognizes YHWH Truth for all generations never to change modern preachers have lied and woe to them 🙌 HallaluYah this Pastor speech YHWH Truth I love it 😊
Beautiful teaching....i pray we all get to experience the freedom in Yeshuas Words by loving him and obeying His Commandments...not just having ears to hear but eyes to see...imagine how much more we can know Him and He us if we actually live out His instructions and not just read about them.... and drop our false forms of worship- man made traditions: christmas, new years, valentines, st patricks, easter, independence, holloween, purim, hanukkah, etc
....and actually follow His Holy Festivals- all His Sabbaths, in remembrance of Him, Yeshua HaMashiach....do not add to or subtract from.....because we love Him.

I’m completely nerding out over this series. I Love it, it’s so fun!
Thank you Pastor Mike for this wonderful teaching and the deep
meanings about the different types
of the feasts and how these feasts
point to Christ
Thank you for putting this teaching out for us! Very edifying video brother. God is so amazing!
love this teaching of the passover. Jesus our passover lamb , thank you for all that you fulfill
Mike- I’m so humbled by the insight God has given you to shed light on some of the seeming mysteries in the word. I was amazed by how much of what I have read over my years as a Christian came together in this one sermon. I always knew Jesus was foretold in many, many ways but you tied it all together so flawlessly. I’ve been struggling to have inspiring and confident building quiet times for some time. I’m thankful I found you. To God be the glory. I even cried when I realized the enormous extent to which God has gone to have a literal home in each of us.
This blows my mind!!! I wish i could explain this to everyone.
Wow wow wow wow and wow. This is literally what I've been waiting for.
So incredibly exciting! This is definitely prophetic and the most beautiful prophecy of them all. Such a faith strengthening message! Blessings on you Mike for bringing the Good News.
Mike, I thoroughly enjoyed this teaching! I love learning about God’s feasts! Can’t wait to learn about the next 3!
Another great, in-depth, edifying teaching. Thanks, I learned something new.
I love your videos. Thanks so much for taking the time to do them.
Thank you for your for you're awesome work Mike.
You are a gifted teacher!!!
This was an awesome sermon. Thank you so much brother Mike. Blessings to you and your family always.
Thank you Mike for your weekly videos! Godsend! God bless all of you. ❤️🙏
YESSS, i'm excited to hear this.
Thank you Mike, you’re a blessing!
Wow what a wonderful teaching on saved by grace through faith. Work(s) being a death sentence. Many choke on this meat including myself. I once was blind but now I see moment!
I love these videos because you teach about things that a lot of either don’t know or they they just glance over.
and the streak of never being disappointed continues. thank you my dear brother
Thank you Mike, love your teaching.
There actually is clarity to what you say. That was a word I heard the Bethel church use the word 'clarity' in your video on them, and it was mud on the wind shield. You remind me of the pastor of my church. Connecting old and new testament, and skipping past the parts where the body is momentarily flesh focused. Praise Jesus, he fills us with his word, we build our foundation on his word, and he is the foundation of life and existence. I'm glad it's not rare to find a Jesus pastor.
Wow! All of your examples of ‘gentiles first’ has been a brand new awakening for me and a humbling gift to heart and mind.
Mike, thanks very much for continuing to make this teachings available to all, they really are a blessing, it really is exciting to see how profound it is to see these prophetic feasts fulfilled in Jesus, how anyone could look at them and not believe is mind boggling, none the less, thanks and God Bless.
Good J O B. !!!
Mike, I think you're missing something with regards to Pentecost possibly corresponding to the giving of the law. Scripture says the law was given IN the third month. If the first month is Nisan, the third month is Sivan. Pentecost IS in the month of Sivan. Passover is on the 14 of Nisan, so the first day of the third month would fall 47 days later, given 30 day months. Since First fruits falls AFTER passover, fifty days after first fruits easily falls early in the third month, Sivan. Exodus 19 says God spoke to Moses IN the third month and told him to gather the people 3 days later and He would come to the mountain. That's when Moses went up to receive the law. If "in the third month" in chapter 19 meant early in the month, 3 days later could have easily been Pentecost, 50 days after a day in the second half of the first month.
I love your work
Clearing out the leaven is repentance and becoming a new lump is the new creation we become in Christ.
Pastor Mike thank you for this teaching. Excellent word. God bless.
I like the idea that we should not be drawn ourselves too much into the traditions but stick to the text. I feel somewhat the same way about Christmas how it may be okay to celebrate but it is merely a tradition not really according to the text.
We have chosen not to celebrate Christmas and Easter for that reason. We love how Jesus fulfilled these feasts. Our church celebrates them.
I think this is my favourite video 💖💖💖
I am loving your videos. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us. Broken down so eloquently, and in such and easy to understand way.
If Dr. Michael Heiser is correct, Jesus was born at september 11th 3 B.C, as revelations indicates.
This was also on Yom Terah=Rosh Hashanah= feast of trumpets. And Jesus made a lot of references to this same feast when talking about his return. The virgins, nobody knows the days or the hour' and so on.
He fled to Egypt shortly after, which could be a reference to Sukkoth, temporary dwellings in the wilderness.
Sukkoth is also an analogy of the wedding feast between God and Israel. So I think all feasts will be fulfilled when Jesus comes back
Thank you for teaching. I always learn so much from your videos, more than I have learned in years of attending church.
Wow wow wow wow wow!!! Such a great word! So many burdens lifted off of me! Thank you!
Ty ty, this is precisely what I was looking for. I really want a better understanding of the feasts so I can have a better one of Christ.
Tomorrow is the last day of unleavened bread this year and I have been feeling incomplete celebrating all 7 of these high holy days each year. ( I grew up celebrating them) This was a real eye opener and I feel like we just scratched the surface. I can't wait to learn more. Thanks Mike!
God bless you brother. I have been blessed by listening,
We are the final temple that God lives within. It matters what we place on the alter within. Shalom
Thank you pastor Mike, great teaching sir. Shalom
1 Corinthians 11: 3 "But I want you to know that Christ is the head of every man, and that the man is the head of woman, and that GOD is the head of Christ."
Thank you! I appreciate all you have done! It is more than interesting. I feel it is vital for us to know more about God's grace to grow up in Jesus!!! 🙌🙌🙌🙏🙏✝️❤️🕊️🤗😊
Any friend of Vocab and David is a friend of mine. Proverbs 27:17 so true. What you said has sharpened how I think about God and His Word!!! It brings me great Joy. 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌✝️🙏🙏🙏🕊️
Very informative. Thanks!!
thanks God for the doctrine of the OT feasts show the future Christ
Wow! So much meat to chew on here. Too much for one sitting. I watched this twice and then on the third time I had to stop and go research pentecost. In 26 years saved I somehow missed that the feast of weeks was the same as pentecost. I always thought there was only one pentecost. I was having a hard time connecting some things in this video because of that and the fact that it is packed so full of pictures it was frying my wee brain!
You are a wise and anointed teacher grasshoppa. ✝️🛡🗡❤️
Like watching these videos and series on different book in the Bible I’ve read it a few times but don’t really catch things like others do.
Thanks for the video, I have seen the same things as you have according to the some of the feasts prophesying about Jesus Christ. However, something new clicked with me about not to be leavened with tradition of man, and the barely being leavened through the whole bread. This confused me as I thought it was just another way of speaking of the same warning. Thanks to the Holy Spirit, I instantly knew what you were explaining. That we are to be a new creation in God.
Hello Christine Cross, i get what you are trying to say. Then again, could it be that you were so excited that you got your words mixed up? Could it be that by saying, "we are to be a new creation", we fall right back under that Mosaic Law? The Bible doesn't really say that we are TO BE a new creation. It says we ARE a new creation. Us trying to be something we are already always ends up in death and destruction. It was so with Adam, it is so with us.
We are a new creation in Christ, not in God as you suggested. God is God, we are human. There's no way for us to be anything in God. That's why God provided us the WAY. Now, since Christ is human as well as God, we can be a new creation in HIM. Hallelujah!
@@briannamartinez4687
I agree and yet I don't because of what Jesus said concerning Himself and us:
John 1:4
"In him was life, and the life was the light of humanity."
John 17:20-21 (Unity)
"And I do not ask on behalf of these only, but also on behalf of those who believe in me through their word, 21 that they all may be one, just as you, Father, are in me and I am in you, that they also may be in us, in order that the world may believe that you sent me."
I appreciate the sincerity in your post, however. So many don't do that.
@@christinecross9123 thank you!
@@briannamartinez4687 God bless you sister.
Christine Cross. First off what a cool name and 2nd love how you use scripture to answer someone. It’s what we should always do whenever possible
Thanks Pastor Mike
Fist time listener and I am very impressed with your teachings. I however read the date of Pentecost 50 days after the 7 weeks, that would put Pentecost more in line with receiving the 10 commandments, (Leviticus 23:16). Also it take between 90-100 days for wheat to mature. The reason they state 7 weeks and not 49 days is because they would/could have had one or two new moon days within those 7 weeks. Something to look into. I very much enjoy your teachings, and the on Melchizedek was really in lighting. May God Bless your studies.
11 dislikes - what's not to like? I find Mike has a great body of work and these feasts are keys to digging deeper.
Doing a good deed to another person n the Sabbath is expected.
Just incredible. I am teaching a Sunday school series on the Feasts of the LORD (Leviticus 23). Would have done better just to link your two lessons (21 & 22). Well done pastor.
Excellent work! Christ Jesus is our perfect root, not the chronically idolatrous physical descendants of Abraham as those caught up in the mysticism of the "Hebrew Roots" movement would have us believe. It is indeed a strong delusion!
@FaithisHope1 The natural branch you refer to is the pre-Christian ancient Israelites, nothing to do with the Jews of today. "Yeshua" is a modern translation from ancient Greek into MODERN HEBREW which is quite different than ancient Hebrew, which was essentially already a dead language at the time of Christ Jesus. He and the Apostles spoke Aramaic and Greek. We KNOW His name was Iesous Christos, or Jesus Christ in English, but "Yeshua"? That's just Joshua in modern Hebrew, the Biblical name above all names is Christ Jesus. And if you want to go back to original language then it's Iesous Christos.
That's a nice profile picture you got there Patrick! :)
In the video you assert that the feast of first fruits is always on a sunday however this may not necessarily be true. Early Judaism held a diverse set of opinions as the Hebrew as to when to bring the first fruits of the barley harvest is ambiguous in that it says after the sabbath... Now the question is, is it referring to the weekly sabbath or the festival sabbath. For the early church the Septuagint was the default old testament and that appears to indicate that the Leviticus 23 text has the festival sabbath in mind and therefore the first fruits of the barley harvest can fall on any day of the week as passover can fall on any say of the week.
Passover was Wednesday.
Wednesday - Thursday (1 day) Thursday -Friday (2nd day) Friday - Saturday Evening (day 3).
Mike Winger, I immediately thought to myself the symbolism in the two loafs of bread . To me.. it's symbolism is the old and new testament the Jew and Gentile coming together as one body in Christ Jesus.
Holydays days. Not holidays.
He fulfilled them, and that's why you don't throw them away, but celebrate them. However, he also fulfilled the prophecy of his birth, but millions of Christians will die in their war for Christmas. So, yeah.........
Mike. Leviticus 23:6 and 7. I am certain that verse 7 means the first day of feast of unleavened bread is a Sabbath. This is how we know Jesus was crucified on a Wednesday. The very first day after Passover was a Sabbath correct?
And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him.
⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️
Bought spices after the sabbath
Mark:16:1
And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the sabbath day according to the commandment.
Luke:23:56
⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️
Prepared spices and had to wait another sabbath.
Jesus was in the grave for 2 sabbaths. The first one was a annual high day sabbath and the second was the weekly sabbath.
John 19:31.
The one sign Jesus said he would give a wicked generation proving he was the messiah was like Jonah.Matt 12:39 3 days and 3 nights in the heart of the earth..
Jesus spent a perfect 3 days and 3 nights in the grave. Today's traditions of a Friday crucifixion are wrong.
Sabbath is sunset to sunset
Passover was in the middle of the first month. Shavuot happened in the third month. The text does not say it happened 3 months later. The giving of the Law is just as important as The giving of the Holy Spirit. The Law is not a negative thing, in fact Jesus escalated it by writing it in the tablets of our hearts. He takes away the curse of not being able to keep the law, by making possible for us to keep.
Question. I have searched your site where this topic might be addressed but have not found it so far. What is your stance- from a biblical perspective of course- on altar calls aka invitation to salvation? Thanks for your thoughts
Tabernacle is such a funny name, I like should be used more often😃
THE SABBATH HONESTLY START FRI SUNDOWN TO SATURDAY SUNDOWN IT GIVES TIME TO WORK IN THE EARLY MORNING AND NOON
Yah bless that's been forgotten for everybody its the celebration of sabbath day of seven days rested of our creator Pentecost is original words is sabbath or seventh days or Sheba yahusha or Jesu's now is celebrating it even the apostle to let everyone that needs to celebrate but its been forgotten ...thank you to remind all that need to celebrate and practice it its a holly practice since the beginning of mankind .....
Revelation 14:18-20 ESV
And another angel came out from the altar, the angel who has authority over the fire, and he called with a loud voice to the one who had the sharp sickle, “Put in your sickle and gather the clusters from the vine of the earth, for its grapes are ripe.” So the angel swung his sickle across the earth and gathered the grape harvest of the earth and threw it into the great winepress of the wrath of God. And the winepress was trodden outside the city, and blood flowed from the winepress, as high as a horse's bridle, for 1,600 stadia.
Do you have printouts of your talks? It takes me a long time to get through your talks because I take so many notes.
J Davis
You can often get notes from the Bible studies I do by going to BibleThinker.org and finding the page with that video on it.
While it is easy for a christian to see these festivals as types and shadows, the old testament does not view them principally as allegories. They stand on their own merit.
There is a really good free online book that can be downloaded from Facebook in PDF form titled, Sabbath to Sukkot. It's a really good read.
i enjoy so much God word that it us weird for me that many people don't care or don't like to read scriptures, God Yeshua is our Lord and savior the Glory is to God someone told me one day and how do i know the Bible is really God word, saran sometimes use people to make us doubt i realized that but satan will NOT win YESHUA IS GOD i believe that and He is my savior the people that said things to make us doubt are servers of satan we should Not listen to them
24:00. Yeshua HaMashiach is the word of GOD so he was the fulfillment of the Spring Feasts of the LORD. When he comes again he we be fulfilling the Fall Feasts of the LORD.
"That guy is breaking the picture" I laughed so hard poor guy😂
I've been struggling with Christmas, Easter , the Sabbath, these days have rebadged the pagan holidays. Are we not just being fooled into celebrating Satan's days. Is there a Religion that uses the Jewish calendar and recognizes Jesus as the Messiah? The actual birth of Christ, rising of Christ, Sabbath are already Jewish holidays.
Jesus is God!
LOL Pastor! You're hilarious...
Was called to "count my days" recently, which in my heart meant I'm to look up at His calendar. Thus, my watching your teaching this morning. What a delight that you're a hoot as well. See y'all in the other side °\o/°
The unleavened carried our sin (the leaven) as he carried them on the cross...
The only way to really understand our eternal rest in Jesus, is to practice Sabbath. Sabbath is not only a spiritual idea, it's also a very important day for Christians. Sunday is not the Sabbath, and nowhere in the gospel is this replaced. I.e in Hebrew thinking, the first day is usually Sunset of the Sabbath when they would do a convocation to end the Sabbath.
excellent!
Hey Mike. Do you think the Ram in the thicket is a foreshadow the the crown of thorns?
Genesis 22:8 in Hebrew reads God will provide *Himself* the sacrifice so yes, it is a foreshadow, a prophecy, of Jesus willingness to go to the cross, the Lamb of God, the crown, yes.
Jewish traditions might say Moses brought down the law on the day of Pentecost but it goes against scripture. Scriptures break down the time of the Exodus. At day fifty from Passover u will find the first commandment of keeping the Sabbath after collecting Mana for six days. But u also find they do not reach the Mount until the 60th day. Upon reaching the Mount they are commanded to purity themselfs before God speaks the law to them. After God speaks they fear him, then Moses finally goes up to the mountain top. This would be after day 60 even.
A thought. Maybe the barley harvest (Feast of First Fruits) represents the Israelites and the wheat harvest (Feast of Weeks) represents the Gentiles. So much to consider.
Awesome
Where can I learn more about what Mike said regarding the decaying barley being used in the new wheat to give the wheat the necessary leaven it needed? Would love a link to that. Wondering where Mike came across this?
Hi Mike, just wondering if the verse of adding words to scripture by the pharisees is appropriate to this since it talks about different things particular of supporting one's parents.
The bible does not state verses in Psalms being prayed or sing by Jews and particularly by Pharisees as they see it fit and the verses they choose where of resurrection related.
Is resurrection related to harvest in understanding of 20th century christian? It does not.
It is a doctrine passed down to them.
Paul said I am a Pharisee, he had checked his understanding about Jesus the Messiah, the Christ to see if he ran in vain and he is on the same page with James, Peter & John.
The leaven of the Pharisee is Hypocrisy because they sit on Moses seat and and it seems not fencing the Torah. Jesus did it.
But then I thank you for this timeless teaching :)
At the original Pentecost Jewish tradition and scripture maintain it was a mixed multitude of Jew and non Jew. Jewish tradition however explains how the Torah was spoken by God in seventy languages so all could understand. It is explained this way also in the targums.
I remember learning about April Fool's day in school. People "punished" People who considered April to be the real New Year's Day. As an adult, I realized that it was just antisemitism. Today Jews celebrate a New Year's day in the fall, but the "real" New Year is still in April. They call Rosh Hashanna the fiscal new year.
OH, He mentioned that.
I'd like to bring something interesting which I've realized.
Jesus died a day before the Sabbath which is actually the sixth day. On the seventh day Jesus was still in the tomb but on the eighth day which is the first day, He was raised from the dead. The Sabbath connects to the death of Jesus, in that He being the Lord of the Sabbath worked and on the seventh day He was resting, He slept! And woke up on the eighth day.
The Bible does not once say he rose on Sunday
@@andrejones2147 Mark 16:2, Luke 24:1, John 20:1, Matthew 28:1, Mark 16:9-20 and John 20:19. Should probably read your Bible before telling someone what the Bible don’t say.

[2] And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun. [3] And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulchre? [4] And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away: for it was very great. [5] And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they were affrighted. [6] And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him.
Very early in the morning the first day of the week HE WAS ALREADY GONE !!!! … I’m gonna need you to carefully read each scripture you posted …. And then after you read them All and NONE of them tell you he ROSE ON SUNDAY MORNING….

Can you do that with the fall feasts?
People dont understand the significance of Yeshuas struggle the Thursday (14th of the month) in the garden. It was actually the correct passover day given to Moses. Yeshua kept ALL spring feasts days perfectly. He died to his carnal flesh on Thursday. But, due to his obedience (blood and sweat) the death angel passed over him. That was the point. The feast days were fulfilled spiritually not literally. The catholic church inserted pagan doctrines in the story. The transfiguration happened in the garden that night when he was "raised from spiritual death" and became an immortal and glorified. The OT martyrs came out of the grave as well (naked boy in white linen burial cloth) and the earthquake (soldiers fell down) Peter's turns the sword on the soldier. (He who lives by the sword will die by the sword: Judas). Then the type for Hamans noose is turned to Judas. His deciples run away. Friday night Jesus appears to Mary, appears on the road to emmaus for unleavened bread, as well as the martyrs seen around town. Sunday the martyrs that rose on Thursaday and Yeshua ascend to heaven, Yeshua first then the martyers. The two men that speak to peter james and John are moses and elijah who were at the transfiguration on Thursday, risen also, the first of the firstfruits. The real story is much more awesome and didnt require terrible torture and a bloody human sacrifice as the pagans did. Just like Issac was spared, so was Yeshua.
It is a strange twist of circumstance that while Jesus encourages his followers to eat unleavened bread to remember him most churches use regular bread.
Our church eats styrofoam :/ it's really awful...
He makes a mistake at 49:00 regarding the parallel of the giving of the law at Sinai and Pentecost. He makes the mistake of confusing Pentecost and Passover. The tradition (and text of Scripture - Ex 19:1) is that the law giving happened on the Feast of Weeks (which seems likely based on Scripture - Ex 19:1) but then he brings in PASSOVER. Other than that, much good info and thumbs up : )
Wondering if the leavened bread used in the Pentecost feast could be connected to the parable Jesus told in Matthew 13:33 (also Luke 13:21 I believe?) Do you have thoughts on this?
It could be; I will have to look into it! I do know or at least think, according to the Scriptures, Jesus was giving parables to the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, it’s important to read all of the parables in which He uses to compare what the Kingdom of heaven is like.
Matthew 13:33 says:
*Another* parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is *like unto leaven*, which *a woman* *took*, and *hid in three measures* of meal, *till the whole was leavened.*
In verse 34-35, it says: All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them: That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret *from the foundation of the world.*
We can see that leaven is not a good thing by other Scriptures Jesus mentioned such as Luke 12:1-12
In the mean times when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they tried one upon another, he began to say to his disciples first of all, *Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.* For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; *neither hid*, that shall not be known. Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in the darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in the closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops. [I would recommending reading the rest till verse 12]
I would also recommend looking into the Parable of the Sower such as Mark 4. I didn’t realize this for the longest time but in Mark 4, verse 13 it says -
“And He said unto them, Know ye not this parable? And how then will ye know all parables?”
The symbolism and the explanation from Jesus about everything in the parable gives insight to all the others. People usually read the Parable about the mustard seed and think it is describing simply how the kingdom of Heaven started off as smaller than all seeds [the seed of faith] and eventually grew to be the chiefest tree, where the fowls of the air made nest in its branches and the beasts of the field sought shade under it.
The fowls of the air and the beasts of the field are representative of something throughout Scriptures.
Also, might I mentioned something interesting -
Three measures is according to weights. “Three measures” is the usual translation for the original Greek “tria sata” which is a little over a bushel of flour (1.125 bushels, to be precise). If you look at how much that is - you would be shocked. Basically it’s a mountain of dough and all the woman did was sneak *a little bit* of leaven into the batch, and it didn’t take long for the whole thing to become “defiled.” There’s reasons why unleavened bread is desirable versus the other. It preserves longer while unleavened bread decays very fast. Hope this helps.
Should we keep the Holy Days today?
Yes
If Jesus fulfilled Passover Unleavened Bread First Fruits and Pentecost, then Joan of Arc, Virgin Daughter of God, Queen of Heaven, she fulfilled Pentecost, Trumpets, Yom Kippur, and Tabernacles. She was sacrificed for the sins of the world on the brazen Altar of Burnt Offerings as the LORD'S goat of Yom Kippur. The Passover Lamb was not a sacrifice for sin.
Please look Again
For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the Lord , so shall your seed and your name remain. And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the Lord .
Isaiah 66:22-23 KJV
The Master saith unto thee, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples? And he shall shew you a large upper room furnished: there make ready. And they went, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover.
Luke 22:11-13 KJV
When they desired him to tarry longer time with them,he consented not;..saying, I must by all means keep this feast that cometh in Jerusalem:but I will return again unto you, if God will. Acts 18:19-
But this I confess unto thee, that after the way which they call heresy, so worship I the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets:
Acts 24:14 KJV
Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
