Discuss Leviticus 23 Page 3

Hello saints. I just want to say that, you two, Bob and Jessie, you're on track. I agree with your interpretations. Not that I'm anyone special, accept to God. Also, Easter is a pagan holiday and named after Ishtar, a goddess, including some other pagan goddess that I've read, are new to me since years ago when I did research. Think about it, my sister. What does God have to do with Easter eggs and a bunny rabbit? in pagan worship, the egg stands for the goddess of fertility, and the rabbit, well I don't recall. One thing for sure, a rabbit does not lay eggs. It might have been the object of something they worshiped. After all, they had all types of gods, including animal figures.

e. Feast of Trumpets ( Lev 23:24). "ye shall have a Sabbath (rest), a memorial of blowing of Trumpets, an holy convocation". A picture of rest that we have in Christ & the sound of the Rapture Trumpet & our presence with our Saviour. Yet to be fulfilled, but a certain looking forward to event.

f. Day of Atonement ( Lev 16; 23:26-32). A day to make restitution for the wrongs committed. A day of humility & repentance. Animals were sacrificed yearly but could never deal with the permanency of the sin issue. But it looked forward to when Jesus would come to atone for sins permanently ( Heb 9:12-14). The offering of bulls & goats was for payment for their sin, but in Lev 16:10, there was the Scapegoat that bore the sins & took it away (into the wilderness). Our debt has been paid & removed.

g. Feast of Tabernacles ( Lev 23:34). Feast followed the Day of Atonement. It recalls God's provision to Israel during their 40 years of wandering & they remembered that time by dwelling in temporary structures for seven days. As He dwelt with His people in the Tabernacle, He also, through the Spirit, dwells in us ( Mt 1:23: God with us).

So, I've given this brief rundown of the Jewish Feasts simply to show that all the Feasts of the OT are fulfilled in Jesus Christ, at the Cross & at His Coming again. To perform them now as a Christian has absolutely no meaning & may even demonstrate disdain to His Finished Work.

William, if you would allow me to guide you further with this.

Actually, the whole Law (10 Commandments including Precepts, Ways, Statutes, Commandments, Ordinances, Word, Path, as well as the Ceremonial Laws, Sacrificial Laws & Feast Days) were fulfilled completely in Christ & His Cross.

But to your research with the Feast Days, I would say:

a. Passover ( Lev 23:5). Fulfilled completely in Christ ( Jn 1:29). To remember this Feast practically would mean that one would still be looking forward to a time when a Passover Lamb would be truly acceptable to God.

b. Unleavened Bread ( Lev 23:6). Fulfilled in Christ ( Jn 6:35). This Feast was in remembrance of the Israelites fleeing Egyptian captivity & unable to carry leaven to add to their bread. So this freedom from hardships is remembered in that Unleavened Bread. Leaven is represented as sin & decay; once incorporated it becomes inseparable in bread; same is true of sin in our lives & only through Christ's death can that leaven be dealt with. So a believer can't identify with the Jewish remembrance as it's no longer applicable as Christ dealt fully with our sin.

c. Firstfruits ( Lev 23:10). Fulfilled in Christ ( 1 Cor 15:20). The Feast was to honour & thank God for His provision to them. It was celebrated the third day (16th of Nisan) after the Passover Feast (14th of Nisan). The third day is significant as Jesus arose from the grave on the third day. Paul also refers to Christ "as the firstfruits of them that slept". So remembrance of this Feast is fulfilled in Christ.

d. Feast of Weeks (Pentecost) ( Lev 23:16). Fulfilled after the ascension of Christ ( Acts 1:3-5). Israel brought the first harvest of grain to the LORD & occurred 50 days (= Pentecost) after the Feast of Firstfruits. We are now to obey, vide Mt 9:37: "The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few;" as those who bring in the harvest of souls to the Lord.

I have to say I haven't kept the feast days I'm only learning about this over the last year or two I should have started doing something by now,however the more I read in the holy scriptures,the more I do not believe the feast days we're done away with on the cross.

I believe that the only thing that was done away with on the cross was the ceremonial laws the sacrificial laws nothing else the feast days I believe are still to be followed

Hebrews 4:10 says "For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from His." The writer is going back to creation, and he's saying if you surrender to Christ, you will be doing just what God did. You will cease from your own works, and you will enter into God's rest. In 6 days, God created all things. And on the 7th day, He entered into His rest and finished His work. We are still in that 7th day right now called the Time of the Gentiles. What is interesting in the creation account, it says "and it was evening and morning," for each day except the 7th day. But in Genesis Chapter 2, it never says the 7th day ended. It's because it's still today! Many people don't notice that in Genesis Chapter 2, at the end of the 7th day, it doesn't say evening and morning on the 7th day. It's because the Sabbath rest, in creation, parallels and gives the gospel message that Jesus Christ is our Sabbath rest, spiritually. We enter into His rest at our salvation!

The 7th day of the week, or Saturday, is which is when God rested and when Sabbath is. In many languages Sunday - Friday are named after planets, but Saturday is named after the Sabbath, so Italian, Spanish, etc call it Sabado which literally means the Sabbath.

According to the bible what is the true day of rest and work to be done

Ezekiel,37:11 Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost: we are cut off for our parts.

The Jews had to leave Egypt in such a hurry that they carried their dough before it was leaven. This they cooked in the wilderness as it was. This is why the Jews eat unleaven bread to this day.

We are reading Psalm 67 every night from 2nd night of Passover to night before Shavuot (Pentecost) as we count the Omer ( Leviticus 23:15-16).

Yeast is being compared to sin.
Jesus had no sin.
Therefore, as I see it, we avoid the leavening, doing our part, to keep sin out our lives.

To Donna Cromb, Act 2 when fifty days after Christ resurrection, the Holy Spirit came and united the believers into the church, symbolized here by the two loaves ( Jews and Gentiles). God gave Israel a calendar that was tied to the seasons and the history of the nations. The salvation work of Jesus Christ, the founding of the church, and the furture of the people of Israel are all illustrated

The bible as we speak by the profits of old is being fulfilled WAKE up . God loves enough to send his one And only son to die on the cross . So we would have everlasting Life

Acts 2:1 refers to Lev 23:15 and tells it was 50 days after Passover when Jesus Christ died and arose, but am I missing something? I don't see how the unleavened bread for 7 days, 7 days of fire offerings, or 7 Sabbaths have to do with Pentecost and the coming of the Holy Spirit. Sand how does that relate to Easter? My Bible also says to look at Deut 16:9 and 20:16. Why when it is just a prophecy

I agree that the leavened/unleavened bread do show us our physical and spiritual nature. We truly need to render our hearts to Christ such that He can do a good work in us. The Old and New Testaments are related to each other. We see Christ throughout the entire books but more so in the New Testatment.

The teaching I've received about "leaven," is close to what you're talking about. Yeast added to the dough makes it rise and swell, and fills up the whole loaf. It doesn't have to be outright sinning, that takes over our inner life; but things that come out of self, without Scriptural support; like natural "human thinking" God made us to be intelligent, but it must be used in subjection to truth.

April (leaven) - The leaven in the O.T. was a type of sin - sin gets in you for one little thing, maybe tobacco and SPREADS to alcohol, drugs, sex, abuse of others, and on 'n on. Egypt was also a type of sin; the Israelites wee taken out of Egypt by God. We cannot, forever, get physical sins out of our lives; only the Lord can. Nor can we remit orig. sin from Adam 'n Eve - only God can. Acts 2:38

Hello, I was curious if anyone could shed some light on me thinking, unleavened bread was a no no, because in a symbolic way, GOD is what raises us up, like baking soda and other rising agent, it helps the bread to rise, therefore, GOD is the rising agent?, so when he brought his children out of Egypt he was their rising agent. I have currently just started reading the bible on my own, been awhile

Lev. 23:17 - " ... two wave loaves ... they shall be baken with leaven." Two wave loaves is the prophecy of the Jews and Gentiles coming together in Acts. The 'leaven' is the SPREADING of the Gospel they undertook.

I have learned so much about how the O.T. and N.T. interconnect. What an eye opener.

To Jack on v. 27- If you're Jewish you won't pay any attn. to this, and that IS NOT a slam: ALL the O.T. was a schoolmaster to bring us to Christ in the N.T. Jesus FULFILLED the sacrificial laws of the O.T. The letting of blood was pointing to Jesus blood for the remission of our N.T. sins. It's not by works OF THE LAW that we are saved; it's by faith in Acts 2:38, and hence Matt. 28:19.

Love the bible. Keep it going

This view...is G.D 's view..to be taken seriously..now..Sabbath..today..even tho I was not raised this way in mainline churches...which are blind.. so was I. Yeshua..caused me to search this out..p.T.L..He opened my eyes..as I had to many questions mainline churches couldn 't. Answer..nor seminary..taught..as they use replacement Thology..wow was I ever blind.

REV 16-8...A lot of info Rob but not all accurate, In Leviticus 23:27-32... From evening to evening, you shall celebrate your Sabbath, not sunrise to sunrise, your throwing out false signals if your a child of God Rob? I would have rather have told you privately but I couldn 't, not trying to offend but if we are standing for the Word of God it has to be accurate, right! AMEN!!

I respectively disagree with Wesley 's notes. The mention of 'your Sabbath ' is by no means the name or title of this Sabbath. This verse indicates the weekly Sabbath of the week which is the seventh day of the week, Saturday which begins from Friday sunset and concludes Saturday Sunset. Prior to roman influence on the calender the days of the week began and ended the same way from sunset to sunset. The mention of 'your Sabbath ' refers to the Sabbath being a sign between humanity and God and the Sabbath was given to all of mankind. The Resurrection and the Sabbath have no connection to each other, this idea is man made and not supported by scripture. What we find is that scripture informs us the baptism is in remembrance of the Resurrection.

I would like to know where to take those things mentioned on Leviticus 23:40, as the text does not state how to use it (as an offer to Jesus placed inside or outside our home?; to take such things somewhere else?; etc.). Please advice

3: Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the sabbath of rest, an holy convocation; ye shall do no work therein: it is the sabbath of the LORD in all your dwellings.
(in all your dwellings.) Saturday or Sunday availeth you nothing; it’s when you with your family spend one day in seven in Reverence to God; this is what pleases our Lord. And these verses were recorded and brought though thousands of years so great man of wisdom could not understand how simple God’s truth really is. St. John 12:40 He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.
People who believe in God, so they can’t believe in evolution; this makes them 50% right. People who believed in evolution, so they can’t believe in God; this makes them 50% right. If these people ever get together (and be converted, and I should heal them.) their eyes will be open and their hearts will be filled and together they will be 100% right. 4: These are the feasts of the LORD, even holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their seasons. (their seasons.) when men should gather in Reverence to God. 44: And Moses declared unto the children of Israel the feasts of the LORD. That we would live in Reverence to God.

Please help me understand . Are we still commanded to follow this law or was it done away with at the CROSS?

what's the meaning of 'wave'
He shall 'wave' the sheaf before the Lord....the priest shall 'wave' it.
Please answer back to me. Thank you.
