And thus you shall eat it: with a belt on your waist, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand. So you shall eat it in haste. It is the Lord’s Passover.
‘For I will pass through the land of Egypt on that night, and will strike all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the Lord. Now the blood shall be a sign for you on the houses where you are. And when I see the blood, I will pass over you; and the plague shall not be on you to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt.
Exodus 12:11 – 13
Feast Of Unleavened Bread of the Old Covenant:
So you shall observe the Feast of Unleavened Bread, for on this same day I will have brought your armies out of the land of Egypt. Therefore you shall observe this day throughout your generations as an everlasting ordinance.
Exodus 12:17
Unleavened Bread Symbolism
And in them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled, which says:
‘Hearing you will hear and shall not understand,
And seeing you will see and not perceive;
For the hearts of this people have grown dull.
Their ears are hard of hearing,
And their eyes they have closed,
Lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears,
Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn,
So that I should heal them.’
Matthew 12:14 – 15
But Jesus, being aware of it, said to them, “Why do you reason because you have no bread? Do you not yet perceive nor understand? Is your heart still hardened? Having eyes, do you not see? And having ears, do you not hear? And do you not remember?
Mark 8:17 – 18
“As for you, son of man, the children of your people are talking about you beside the walls and in the doors of the houses; and they speak to one another, everyone saying to his brother, ‘Please come and hear what the word is that comes from the Lord.’ So they come to you as people do, they sit before you as My people, and they hear your words, but they do not do them; for with their mouth they show much love, but their hearts pursue their own gain. Indeed you are to them as a very lovely song of one who has a pleasant voice and can play well on an instrument; for they hear your words, but they do not do them. And when this comes to pass—surely it will come—then they will know that a prophet has been among them.”
Ezekiel 33:30 –33
Then Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, Moses did not give you the bread from heaven, but My Father gives you the true bread from heaven. For the bread of God is He who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”
Then they said to Him, “Lord, give us this bread always.”
And Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst.
John 6:32 – 35
Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me has everlasting life. I am the bread of life. Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and are dead. This is the bread which comes down from heaven, that one may eat of it and not die. I am the living bread which came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread that I shall give is My flesh, which I shall give for the life of the world.”
John 6:47 – 51
Then Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you. Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For My flesh is food indeed, and My blood is drink indeed. He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him. As the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, so he who feeds on Me will live because of Me. This is the bread which came down from heaven—not as your fathers ate the manna, and are dead. He who eats this bread will live forever.”
John 6:53 – 58
But although He had done so many signs before them, they did not believe in Him, that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke:
“Lord, who has believed (i.e. pisteuō [G4100]) our report (akoē [G189])?
And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?”
John 12:37 – 38
So He humbled you, allowed you to hunger, and fed you with manna which you did not know nor did your fathers know, that He might make you know that man shall not live by bread alone; but man lives by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the Lord.
Deuteronomy 8:3
Your words were found, and I ate them,
And Your word was to me the joy and rejoicing of my heart;
For I am called by Your name,
O Lord God of hosts.
Jeremiah 15:16

Feast Of Unleavened Bread of the Old Covenant:
So you shall observe the Feast of Unleavened Bread, for on this same day I will have brought your armies out of the land of Egypt. Therefore you shall observe this day throughout your generations as an everlasting ordinance.
Exodus 12:17
The significant under the Old Covenant of the first two annual ordained Feasts (aka Festivals or Annual Sabbaths) of Feast of Unleavened Bread (which followed immediately after the Passover on the very next day for a seven day period) and the Passover were that for the latter, GOD will pass over (i.e. spared) the children of Israel from the plague on the first born (of both man and beast) and for the former to free them from bondage (aka slavery) under the Egyptians.
Both the Passover and Feast of Unleavened Bread carried literal meaning for (but not, to, because they mostly couldn't be bordered about anything other than their lust seeded pursuits) the ancient Israelite, as well as symbolic ones, with the symbolic a Type to the meaning significance in the New Covenant equivalent, Actual.
The literal significance (i.e. for those who totally must be rules based hairsplitters) of the Old Covenant Passover is that of being spared from (i.e. passing over by) the plague of the firstborn, and being liberated (aka freed) from literal bondage (i.e. as slaves) to the Egyptians.
The symbolism in the Egyptians as sin is particularly to the concept of paganism and as beast (all those who do not honor andor obey GOD and are essentially instinct and chemicals driven animals), of practising lies (living a life framed by and based on lies as the antithesis to truth and knowledge).
It would (or should anyway) be not unclear (even as from many to most among the proclaimed and acclaimed Superlatives of knowledge in the human social both those of religion and ’irreligion’, are actually totally clueless to this very obvious truth) that the ancient Israelite during the period of their Egyptian sourjorning and subsequent bondage were pagan worshipers of idols and beasts as their gods (Exodus 32:3 – 4; Ezekiel 20:6 – 8).
Even Abram and all of his household (includes Lot and Sarai, Abram's wife) until he was called by GOD to leave his home city and family into the circumcision covenant, were pagans (Genesis 12:1 –5, 15:18, 17:1 – 27).

The symbolic significance as a Type to the Actual of the New Covenant's which is that (i.e. Passover) of being redeemed (and, therefore or thereby, spared) from death, the penalty that all of mankind (all other than those whom GOD called into a Covenant relationship with HIM thus are redeemed after the New Passover Covenant was ordained; or those called before to the same, applied ahead of the due time, towards the First Resurrection at the Second Advent) being literal beast (aka animals), are under from the time after the Garden of Eden; while the liberation is from bondage to sin driven by all manner of lusts (John 8:34; Romans 6:16).
Unleavened Bread Symbolism
The symbolism under the Old Covenant of the unleavened bread, to be eaten for seven days of the Feast of Unleavened (Exodus 12:15 – 17) together with the (flesh of the roasted in fire) lamb on the Passover commemoration, were general without any specific significance as to why the bread eaten for the seven days of the Feast was to be unleavened. Though it was explicitly clear that (only) unleavened bread was to be eaten together with the flesh of the lamb in the observatory commemoration of the Passover, there was no specific mention of wine to be drunk with the Old Covenant Passover.
There were also no significant or specific references as to the meaning to the symbolism of the unleavened bread to be eaten with the lamb, why it must be unleavened.
Though the main and whole emphasis of the Feast of Unleavened Bread of the Old Covenant appeared to be of their deliverance and liberation (by the LORD GOD) from bondage to the Egyptians, the implicit significance of the leaven as the element of enslavement or bondage is clear to all who would not deliberately pretend stupidity.
Under the New Covenant, the Passover of which the Old Covenant Type pointed to, is The New Covenant that all true (as opposed to the billions of fake, plagiarizing, fraudulent, identity thieving imposters) Christians must enter into after a sincere contrite repentance followed by baptism and the laying on of hands (to receive the HOLY SPIRIT of GOD given to beget them with the HOLY SEED that must then develop through a lifetime of commited faithful obedience towards the full birth at the Second Advent) by those who are already Christian through the exact same process that began with JESUS CHRIST baptism (Matthew 3:15) by John the Baptist, to set the example of this instituted process and ordain manner that all who seek GOD to become HIS people (subjects) and children (part of HIS Holy Family of HOLY SPIRIT composed personages) must follow to the letter.
Therefore under the New Everlasting Passover Covenant, the symbolism of the Passover and Feast of Unleavened Bread in the commemoration and the material (i.e. red wine and unleavened bread) takes on the Actual meaning in symbolism that of educating to complete our understanding of the creation process that GOD have established to bring all mankind (all those who wants to be in it) into the complete, perfect, HOLY SPIRIT composed Family of GOD.
If we look through the New Covenant records we will find the term leaven used several times but not always carrying the same symbolic meaning. A few were positive and the rest, negative.
So here is the issue (or problem), do the true Christians from the time of the founding of the Church of GOD through the giving of the HOLY SPIRIT on the Day of Pentecost (aka Feast of Weeks andor Firstfruits) until this very day, know the meaning to the symbolism of the unleavened bread, eaten on The Passover and on the seven days of the Feast of Unleavened Bread.
How about you the readers (especially all those who are the regular readers andor followers of this work), do you know the meaning to the unleavened bread both those eaten at the Passover commemoration and those during the seven days of this Feast?
But let me say this, until this work no one actually understood the meaning in the symbolism of the unleavened bread eaten both at the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread. The reason I said this is because at no time until this work did anyone (as can be garnered implicitly and explicitly from all that were record in the New Covenant Scriptures and in and through, all the proclaimed and acclaimed Superlatives of the Elect have taught and proclaimed) remotely understand that why GOD would made covenants with mankind and that the Ten Commandments were literally the Old Covenant and the Passover (in the New Covenant period, age or era) was literally the New Covenant.
The Apostle Paul taught of being unleavened and purging out the old leaven (1 Corinthians 5:7 8) and about being puffed up (1 Corinthians 8:1, 13:4; 1 Timothy 3:6). But while he spoke and taught it, he was totally clueless to it as he continued to ego gorge himself towards insanity throughout near all his ministry.
The sole Messenger to the Church of GOD in Philadelphia taught similarly that knowledge puffs up (1 Corinthians 8:1) and that leaven (in the Feast of Unleavened Bread) represents sin, but all throughout his ministry he was similarly puffed up in ego gorging lust exactly as the Apostle Paul (and also many of the pillars of the Church of the Ephesus era) and all the proclaimed and acclaimed Superlatives among the Elect of today.
And both exactly as with those who gone near totally into ego gorging lust, they proclaimed massive stupidity as doctrines (i.e. supreme teachings from their supreme enlightened understanding) and went strutting around parading themselves as these supremely enlightened with revealed divine knowledge and understanding, because of all these massively stupid things they taught and proclaimed.
And in them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled, which says:
‘Hearing you will hear and shall not understand,
And seeing you will see and not perceive;
For the hearts of this people have grown dull.
Their ears are hard of hearing,
And their eyes they have closed,
Lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears,
Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn,
So that I should heal them.’
Matthew 12:14 – 15
But Jesus, being aware of it, said to them, “Why do you reason because you have no bread? Do you not yet perceive nor understand? Is your heart still hardened? Having eyes, do you not see? And having ears, do you not hear? And do you not remember?
Mark 8:17 – 18
During every annual Passover Commemoration service in the Church of GOD of both the Philadelphia and Laodicea era, the Scriptures passages of JESUS being the Bread from Heaven has always been read, to and by, the congregation, but the strange things have been that they all read it and heard it but none even remotely understood it. To them all (those who read and those who hears) it was just the “so very lovely inspiring” words of “motivational” speakers.
“As for you, son of man, the children of your people are talking about you beside the walls and in the doors of the houses; and they speak to one another, everyone saying to his brother, ‘Please come and hear what the word is that comes from the Lord.’ So they come to you as people do, they sit before you as My people, and they hear your words, but they do not do them; for with their mouth they show much love, but their hearts pursue their own gain. Indeed you are to them as a very lovely song of one who has a pleasant voice and can play well on an instrument; for they hear your words, but they do not do them. And when this comes to pass—surely it will come—then they will know that a prophet has been among them.”
Ezekiel 33:30 –33
As I have mentioned elsewhere in this work, you cannot be more massively stupid than that, to proclaimed massively stupid things and then thinking and holding yourself that you are these supremely, intelligently enlightened because you are able to proclaim these massively stupid things as enlightened supreme divine knowledge, understanding and truth.
And both the Apostle Paul (as evident in all his epistles) and the Messenger to the Church of GOD in Philadelphia (as evident in all that he taught and proclaimed throughout the media and publication of his ministry) taught and proclaimed numerous massively stupid doctrines as Scriptural truth from GOD.

Then Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, Moses did not give you the bread from heaven, but My Father gives you the true bread from heaven. For the bread of God is He who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”
Then they said to Him, “Lord, give us this bread always.”
And Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst.
John 6:32 – 35
Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me has everlasting life. I am the bread of life. Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and are dead. This is the bread which comes down from heaven, that one may eat of it and not die. I am the living bread which came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread that I shall give is My flesh, which I shall give for the life of the world.”
John 6:47 – 51
Then Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you. Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For My flesh is food indeed, and My blood is drink indeed. He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him. As the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, so he who feeds on Me will live because of Me. This is the bread which came down from heaven—not as your fathers ate the manna, and are dead. He who eats this bread will live forever.”
John 6:53 – 58
The unleavened bread of both the Passover Covenant and Feast of Unleavened Bread (i.e. if you think you can believe this author) is symbolic of the Word (i.e. the Scripture of Truth) and also JESUS CHRIST as the LOGOS of GOD, a knowledge and truth that does not puff up (1 Corinthians 8:1) to make one full of themselves. And leaven and leavening in the bread for these two commemorated Feasts represent, precisely and exactly, ego gorging lust, the lust to gorge one's ego towards the ultimate end that one feels oneself to be superior and supreme over all others in everyall desired aspects.
That is correct, the Word of GOD, the Bread from Heaven, is the knowledge (as food for the mind towards intelligence) is the knowledge that does not make one puffed up and full of self from ego gorging lust. And that, is the absolute proof that until this work expounded on it right here, none of the Elect (and most definitely none of the proclaimed and acclaimed Superlatives among the Elect, be they Apostles, Messengers, Prophets, Pastor General, Regional Directors, Evangelist, Pastors, Bishop, Deacons, Watchmen, etc.) understood what the unleavened bread represents in both the New Covenant Passover and Feast of Unleavened Bread commemorative observation.
But although He had done so many signs before them, they did not believe in Him, that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke:
“Lord, who has believed (i.e. pisteuō [G4100]) our report (akoē [G189])?
And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?”
John 12:37 – 38
Yes indeed, who has believe to commit (pisteuō [G4100]) to what they have received and heard (akoē [G189]) here in all that has been expounded (apokalyptō [G601]) in this work (brachiōn [G1023])?
Basically and crucially essential then, the uttermost, foremost, main and most important message of the Feast of Unleavened Bread and the Passover is:
Basically and crucially essential then, the uttermost, foremost, main and most important message of the Feast of Unleavened Bread and the Passover is:
So He humbled you, allowed you to hunger, and fed you with manna which you did not know nor did your fathers know, that He might make you know that man shall not live by bread alone; but man lives by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the Lord.
Deuteronomy 8:3
Your words were found, and I ate them,
And Your word was to me the joy and rejoicing of my heart;
For I am called by Your name,
O Lord God of hosts.
Jeremiah 15:16
The Prophet Jeremiah was the only person on record in the Scriptures as eating (i.e. feeding on) the Word of GOD even though there were others who were directly and specifically commanded to do so (Ezekiel 3:1 – 2; Revelation 10:9 – 10) though in a more specific smaller context.
But none today (except this author and all those who actually believe this work) appeared to even remotely know it (i.e. the commanded requirement) much less understand it, and even less believe it to live it. Which by the way, is the reason this work has a blog titled Living By Every Word and another titled The Scripture Of Truth. So who else has been living by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the Lord?

Therefore whoever eats this bread or drinks this cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup. For he who eats and drinks in an unworthy manner eats and drinks judgment to himself, not discerning the Lord’s body..
1 Corinthians 11:27 29
