Caption transcript for The Holy Days of Our Lord (2012): “Unleavened Bread” (3/11)

• 00:02 IT IS WRITTEN IN THE SCRIPTURES
• 00:04 THAT WE SHOULD JOURNEY TO JERUSALEM THREE TIMES A YEAR.
• 00:07 WE ARE GOING UP TO THE CITY OF GOD...
• 00:10 TO JERUSALEM TO CELEBRATE.
• 00:17 THE LORD TOLD THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL TO HONOR SEVEN HOLY CELEBRATIONS EACH YEAR
• 00:22 INVOLVING THREE JOURNEYS TO JERUSALEM.
• 00:24 EACH FESTIVAL WOULD BE UNIQUELY FULFILLED
• 00:27 IN THE COMING OF THE MESSIAH.
• 00:43 SHALOM AND WELCOME
• 00:45 TO ZOLA LEVITT PRESENTS.
• 00:46 I'M MYLES WEISS.
• 00:47 THIS IS MY WIFE KATHARINE.
• 00:48 WE'RE GLAD YOU'RE WITH US TODAY.
• 00:50 OUR FOUNDER ZOLA LEVITT DID A WONDERFUL THING BEFORE HE WENT TO HEAVEN...
• 00:54 HE DID A SERIES ON THE FEASTS OF THE LORD,
• 00:57 THE HOLY DAYS OF OUR LORD.
• 00:58 AND LAST WEEK WE LOOKED AT PASSOVER.
• 01:00 THIS WEEK WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE WITH THE SECOND OF THE SEVEN FEASTS...
• 01:04 "UNLEAVENED BREAD".
• 01:05 IN LEVITICUS 23:2 THE LORD SAYS
• 01:08 (SPEAKING HEBREW)
• 01:11 IN OTHER WORDS,
• 01:12 "THE FEASTS OF THE LORD THEY ARE MY FEASTS."
• 01:15 THEY'RE NOT JUST FOR THE JEWISH PEOPLE
• 01:17 THERE THE FEASTS OF THE LORD
• 01:19 THAT WE CAN LEARN FROM AS CHRISTIANS WHAT JESUS CAME TO FULFILL.
• 01:23 HE CAME TO FULFILL THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS.
• 01:26 SO WE WANT TO KNOW EVERYTHING THAT HE CAME TO FULFILL.
• 01:28 RIGHT, SO LET'S JOIN ZOLA ON LOCATION
• 01:31 AS WE CONTINUE WITH THE FEASTS OF THE LORD...
• 01:32 THE HOLY DAYS OF OUR LORD.
• 01:37 THESE ARE THE FEASTS OF THE LORD,
• 01:39 HOLY CONVOCATIONS WHICH YOU SHALL PROCLAIM AT THEIR APPOINTED TIMES.
• 01:44 ON THE 15TH DAY OF THE MONTH, THE LORD'S FEAST OF UNLEAVENED BREAD BEGINS.
• 01:52 FOR 7 DAYS YOU MUST EAT BREAD MADE WITHOUT YEAST.
• 01:56 ON THE FIRST DAY, REMOVE THE YEAST FROM YOUR HOUSE,
• 02:00 HOLD A SACRED ASSEMBLY, AND DO NO REGULAR WORK.
• 02:06 CELEBRATE THE FEAST OF UNLEAVENED BREAD
• 02:08 BECAUSE IT WAS ON THIS VERY DAY THAT I BROUGHT YOUR DIVISIONS OUT OF EGYPT.
• 02:14 SHALOM, HELLO AGAIN.
• 02:16 WELL THIS IS AN AGRARIAN NATION, ISRAEL.
• 02:19 BARLEY FIELDS, WHEAT FIELDS EVERYWHERE
• 02:22 AND OF COURSE MAKING BREAD WAS ONE OF THE THINGS THEY DID VERY WELL,
• 02:26 ESPECIALLY UNLEAVENED BREAD.
• 02:28 AND THERE'S EVEN AN ENTIRE FESTIVAL OF UNLEAVENED BREAD.
• 02:31 THE 2ND FEAST IN LEVITICUS 23 IS CALLED
• 02:34 THE FEAST OF UNLEAVENED BREAD.
• 02:36 IT REALLY IS DISTINCT FROM PASSOVER.
• 02:38 IN LEVITICUS 23:5 IT SAYS,
• 02:45 BUT IN VERSE 6 IT SAYS,
• 02:50 TODAY THE JEWISH PEOPLE HAVE ONE FESTIVAL THEY SIMPLY CALL PASSOVER,
• 02:55 AND IT INCORPORATES BOTH OF THOSE FEASTS AND EVEN FIRST FRUITS,
• 02:59 THE SUNDAY DURING THE WEEK IS IN THAT FEAST.
• 03:02 BUT REALLY IT'S A DISTINCT FEAST
• 03:04 AND IT DESCRIBED A HOLY WALK,
• 03:06 SEVEN DAYS OF FASTING FROM LEAVEN.
• 03:09 LEAVEN IN THE BIBLE IS SIN.
• 03:12 YOU WERE TO GO ALONG ALL SEVEN DAYS AND EAT NO LEAVEN
• 03:14 OR HAMETZ IN HEBREW,
• 03:16 THE STUFF THAT IS SINFUL.
• 03:19 THEY ACTUALLY FOR PASSOVER DID A SEARCH OF THE LEAVEN,
• 03:24 CLEANED THE HOUSE OUT OF ALL HAMETZ.
• 03:26 THE SEARCH IS...
• 03:28 WELL I THINK IT IS THE INVENTION THAT CAME TO BE CALLED SPRING CLEANING UNIVERSALLY,
• 03:32 BUT IT STARTED IN THE EXODUS.
• 03:34 THEY HAD TO SEARCH THEIR DWELLINGS
• 03:36 TO MAKE SURE THERE WERE NO CRUMBS OF BREAD.
• 03:39 TODAY THEY CLEAN THE BREAD BOARD WITH A TOOTHPICK.
• 03:42 THEY LOOK FOR EVERY TWINKIE WRAPPER.
• 03:43 THEY GET EVERYTHING OUT OF THE KITCHEN THAT HAD ANYTHING AT ALL TO DO WITH LEAVEN.
• 03:47 BECAUSE UNLEAVEN-NESS IS THE WAY THAT PREPARES YOU FOR DELIVERANCE.
• 03:53 IT'S CLEANNESS, IT'S HOLINESS,IT'S PURITY.
• 03:56 PAUL SAYS IN 1 CORINTHIANS 5:7,
• 04:05 WELL THE HISTORY OF THE THING -
• 04:07 IT RUNS FROM
• 04:08 THE 15TH DAY OF NISAN
• 04:09 THROUGH THE 21ST DAY.
• 04:12 NISAN IS THE FIRST MONTH OF THE YEAR.
• 04:14 IT'S ABOUT DELIVERANCE.
• 04:16 WHEN YOU'RE UNLEAVENED YOU'RE ABLE TO BE DELIVERED.
• 04:19 SO THAT FIRST PASSOVER IN THE EXODUS WHERE THE PEOPLE BAKED BREAD WITHOUT LEAVEN,
• 04:25 THEY TOOK THE WHEAT, THE BARLEY,
• 04:27 THEY MADE A KIND OF FLOUR BUT WITHOUT LEAVEN.
• 04:30 THEN THEY COOKED A BREAD THAT CAME OUT FLAT.
• 04:33 THEY SERVED IT WITH THE LAMB OF THE PASSOVER
• 04:36 AND THEY HAD NO LEAVEN
• 04:38 AND THE LORD PASSED OVER THEM.
• 04:40 THEY MARKED THEIR DOORPOSTS, OF COURSE.
• 04:42 YOU KNOW THE STORY.
• 04:43 BUT THE IDEA OF BEING UNLEAVENED WAS THE READINESS TO BE DELIVERED.
• 04:47 AND HAMETZ BECAME THE IMPULSE TO EVIL.
• 04:51 THE YETZER HARAH, THEY SAY IN HEBREW...
• 04:53 THE NATURAL IMPULSE TOWARD SIN.
• 04:56 SO THEY GET RID OF IT.
• 04:58 YOU KNOW THEY EVEN GO THROUGH A CEREMONY HERE
• 05:00 WHERE THEY SELL THE LEAVEN THAT'S IN THEIR POSSESSION
• 05:02 TO SOMEONE FOR THE 8-DAY PASSOVER FESTIVAL.
• 05:06 THERE'S A MAN AT THE HOTEL WHERE WE'RE STAYING ON OUR TOUR, THE RENAISSANCE HOTEL,
• 05:11 AN ARAB GENTLEMAN, WHO TAKES OVER POSSESSION SO TO SPEAK
• 05:15 OF ALL THE LEAVEN OF THE ORTHODOX PEOPLE THAT STAY AT THIS HOTEL.
• 05:21 THEY SELL IT TO HIM IN EFFECT,
• 05:23 AND AFTER THE 8 DAYS RETRIEVE IT BACK,
• 05:26 BUT THEY DON'T HAVE IT IN THEIR POSSESSION FOR THE PASSOVER SEASON.
• 05:31 THEY ACT IT OUT BEFORE THE PASSOVER SEDER
• 05:35 BY DOING A CANDLELIGHT SEARCH OF THE HOUSE FOR CRUMBS OF LEAVEN.
• 05:39 THEY MAKE A GAME OUT OF IT.
• 05:41 THEY HIDE THEM ON FURNITURE AND THE BOOKCASES AND THEY SEND THE CHILDREN OUT TO LOOK FOR IT.
• 05:46 AND HE COMES WITH A FEATHER AND A WOODEN SPOON
• 05:48 AND HE CLEANS THE LEAVEN INTO THE SPOON WITH THE FEATHER AND THROWS IT IN THE FIRE.
• 05:53 THE FIRE IS A JUDGMENT OF EACH LITTLE SIN.
• 05:57 EACH LITTLE CRUMB IS A SIN.
• 05:59 IT'S A CRUMB OF LEAVEN, A CRUMB OF SIN.
• 06:02 SO THAT'S JUDGMENT, FIRE BURNING IT UP.
• 06:05 LEAVENED BREAD REQUIRES AN OVEN WHICH IMPLIES A PERMANENT HOME
• 06:10 WHICH THEY WERE GOING TO HAVE IN THE PROMISED LAND.
• 06:12 BUT THAT NIGHT THEY WERE IN SUCH A HURRY THEY COULD NOT WAIT FOR BREAD TO RISE.
• 06:16 THEY COULD NOT USE LEAVEN.
• 06:17 THEY BAKED UNLEAVENED BREAD
• 06:19 AND THE LORD, FOR HIS PART, HE PASSED OVER THEIR HOMES
• 06:22 WHEN HE SLEW THE FIRSTBORN OF ALL THE EGYPTIANS, EVEN THE FIRSTBORN OF THE ANIMALS.
• 06:26 AND SO THE JEWS WERE DELIVERED FROM SLAVERY.

• 07:19 ISRAEL IS SO BEAUTIFUL.
• 07:21 IT IS SUCH A TREASURE
• 07:23 AND MYLES AND I WOULD LOVE
• 07:24 TO SHARE THIS TREASURE WITH YOU.
• 07:26 WE WOULD LOVE IT IF YOU WOULD
• 07:27 COME ON A TOUR WITH US.
• 07:29 WE'LL SHARE SOME WONDERFUL
• 07:30 MOMENTS IN THE LORD
• 07:31 AND IN HIS LAND.
• 07:32 AND NOW WE GO BACK TO ZOLA.
• 07:36 BREAD IS JUST A SUBJECT YOU FIND THROUGHOUT THE BIBLE.
• 07:40 IT'S WHAT IN PART DELIVERED THEM.
• 07:44 IT WAS OF COURSE A PRACTICAL MATTER
• 07:46 TO BAKE WITH UNLEAVENED FLOUR THAT NIGHT
• 07:49 AND MAKE BREAD THAT DID NOT RISE BECAUSE IT'S MUCH FASTER.
• 07:52 THEY SAY A PIECE OF UNLEAVENED BREAD COOKS IN 18 SECONDS.
• 07:55 AND THEN OUT IN THE WILDERNESS GOD GAVE THEM MANNA.
• 07:59 THAT'S THE WAY THEY WERE SUSTAINED.
• 08:01 THEN THE LORD SAYING, "I AM THE BREAD OF LIFE" AND SO ON.
• 08:06 BORN IN "BETHLEHEM", "THE HOUSE OF BREAD" IN HEBREW.
• 08:09 SO LIKE A PIECE OF UNLEAVENED BREAD.
• 08:12 HERE'S THE UNLEAVENED BREAD.
• 08:15 IT'S JUST A NORMAL LOOKING PIECE OF FLOUR THAT COOKS REAL FAST,
• 08:21 BUT YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU LOOK AT IT,
• 08:24 THE LORD SAID, "THIS IS MY BODY."
• 08:26 AND IT IS VERY LIKE HIS BODY.
• 08:29 IT'S UNLEAVENED, OF COURSE, HAVING NO SIN LIKE HIS BODY.
• 08:33 IT HAS STRIPES.
• 08:35 BY HIS STRIPES ARE WE HEALED.
• 08:37 YOU CAN SEE THAT.
• 08:39 IT'S PIERCED WITH HOLES.
• 08:40 IF YOU HOLD IT UP TO THE LIGHT YOU CAN EASILY SEE THAT THERE'S ROWS OF HOLES.
• 08:44 YOU HAVE TO PUNCH IT THROUGH BECAUSE YOU GRILL IT AND THE HEAT HAS TO COME THROUGH.
• 08:48 THERE IS NO RISING AGENT.
• 08:50 AND FINALLY, IT'S COVERED WITH LITTLE BRUISES.
• 08:53 BRUISED FOR OUR INIQUITIES.
• 08:56 IT'S SO LIKE HIS BODY.
• 09:00 WHEN WE GET OUR SALVATION IT'S LIKE THIS...
• 09:04 [BREAKS THE BREAD].
• 09:06 HIS BODY IS BROKEN FOR US.
• 09:08 WE INGEST SOME OF THAT
• 09:10 AND WITH THAT WE TAKE IN THAT QUALITY OF RISING FORTH FROM THE EARTH LIKE HE DID.
• 09:16 THE BLESSING HE SAID AT THE PASSOVER TABLE,
• 09:18 "BARUCH ATA ADO-NAI ELO-HEINU MELECH HAOLAM HAMOTZI LECHEM MIN HA'ARETZ."
• 09:22 IT SAID HE TOOK THE BREAD, BROKE IT, AND BLESSED IT.
• 09:24 THAT'S THE BLESSING HE SAID.
• 09:26 IT MEANS,
• 09:27 "BLESSED ART THOU OH LORD OUR GOD, KING OF THE UNIVERSE,"
• 09:30 "WHO BRINGETH FORTH BREAD FROM THE EARTH."
• 09:31 AND THERE WAS A LITTLE PROPHECY IN THERE AT THAT LAST SUPPER.
• 09:34 SAYING TO THE MEN IF THEY TRY TO PUT MY BODY IN THE EARTH THIS WEEK DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT,
• 09:39 GOD BRINGS FORTH BREAD FROM THE EARTH.
• 09:41 THROUGHOUT HIS MINISTRY HE SPOKE OF BREAD.
• 09:45 THERE WAS A TESTING OF ONE OF HIS DISCIPLES ON THE OCCASION OF THE FEEDING OF THE 5,000.
• 09:51 IN JOHN 6 IT SAYS THIS IN VERSE 4,
• 10:07 HE ASKED THAT OF PHILIP BECAUSE PHILIP WAS FROM BETHSAIDA.
• 10:10 THIS IS WHERE THIS TOOK PLACE
• 10:12 AND PERHAPS HE WOULD KNOW A BAKERY THAT COULD FULFILL SUCH A BIG CONTRACT.
• 10:16 IT WASN'T THE UNLEAVENED BREAD BECAUSE IT SAYS THE FEAST WAS NIGH, SO IT WASN'T THERE YET.
• 10:20 BUT THEY WERE ON THEIR WAY TO JERUSALEM FOR THE FEAST.
• 10:23 IT SAYS IN THE NEXT VERSE,
• 10:29 PHILIP ANSWERED VERY LOGICALLY -
• 10:31 "EVEN IF WE HAD THE MONEY FOR AN ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF BREAD"
• 10:35 "IT STILL WOULDN'T BE ENOUGH..."
• 10:37 OF COURSE HE FINDS THE LAD WITH THE LOAVES AND FISHES,
• 10:40 AND THEN THE ONLY MIRACLE TOLD BY ALL FOUR GOSPELS TAKES PLACE
• 10:44 WHERE HE FEEDS THE 5,000 FROM THAT LITTLE BOY'S LUNCH.
• 10:47 THE IDEA HERE OF BREAD GOING TO SO MANY AND SUSTAINING THEM IS A LITTLE LIKE MANNA.
• 10:54 THAT'S HOW PHILIP COULD HAVE PASSED THE TEST.
• 10:56 THE RIGHT ANSWER WAS,
• 10:58 "LORD, DON'T ASK ME 'WHERE DO WE BUY BREAD.' YOU DON'T NEED TO BUY BREAD."
• 11:02 "WHY, THE FATHER SENT BREAD DOWN FROM HEAVEN TO SUSTAIN THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL."
• 11:06 "YOU COULD DO THE SAME. JUST WAVE YOUR MIGHTY ARM AND THEN EVERYONE WILL BE FED."
• 11:11 THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN THE PASSING GRADE.
• 11:15 JESUS WAS TRULY THE UNLEAVENED BREAD HIMSELF.
• 11:20 THE SCRIPTURE IS CLEAR ON IT.
• 11:22 WE LOOK FURTHER AT LUKE 12: 1 & 2,
• 11:26 WHERE JESUS TALKS ABOUT LEAVEN.
• 11:28 NOT PRECISELY AS SIN, BUT IN THIS CASE OF DOCTRINE.
• 11:32 IT SAYS,
• 11:54 THEY HAD THE JEWISH TENDENCY TO COVER OVER THINGS
• 11:56 WITH STORIES AND SAYINGS OF RABBIS AND WISE SAGES AND ALL THE REST OF THAT.
• 12:00 IT DIDN'T MEAN A ROW OF BEANS.
• 12:03 THE LORD SAID THEIR DOCTRINE WAS WRONG AND SO IT WAS.
• 12:07 YOU KNOW THE SEARCH FOR THE LEAVEN IS VERY SYMBOLIC WHEN WE DO THAT FOR PASSOVER.
• 12:12 THE LEAVEN HAS TO BE GOTTEN OUT OF THE HOUSE AS WE SAID.
• 12:17 IN A WAY THE LORD SEARCHES US TOO.
• 12:20 THE PSALMIST SAYS IN PSALM 139, "SEARCH ME, OH LORD, AND KNOW ME."
• 12:26 WE GIVE OURSELVES TO HIM TO BE MADE UNLEAVENED, TO BE MADE PURE.
• 12:42 WELL SIN YOU KNOW IS NEVER POPULAR WITH ANYBODY,
• 12:45 BUT IN ISRAEL THIS FESTIVAL OF UNLEAVENED BREAD, WELL, IN JEWISH HOMES EVERYWHERE,
• 12:50 IT'S AN ANNUAL REMINDER OF OUR OBLIGATION TO BE HOLY.
• 12:55 GOD DOESN'T TOLERATE SIN,
• 12:58 AND THIS 7-DAY WALK, THIS TRAVELING ALONG IN LIFE,
• 13:02 NOT A 1-DAY FESTIVAL LIKE PASSOVER,
• 13:04 BUT A WEEK LONG EATING OF THE BREAD IS KIND OF A DEMONSTRATION OF HOLY LIVING.
• 13:11 THEY MAKE QUITE A FUSS OVER IT IN ISRAEL.
• 13:15 THE FINAL RUN AT THE BAKERY, WHAT THEY CALL THE LAST BAKE,
• 13:19 IS DONE IN THE AFTERNOON BEFORE PASSOVER.
• 13:23 NOW WHEN I SAY THAT, REMEMBER THE JEWISH DAY STARTS AT SUNDOWN.
• 13:26 SO IT ISN'T EVEN PASSOVER DAY YET IN THAT AFTERNOON
• 13:30 BUT A LAST BAKE IS DONE OF THE UNLEAVENED BREAD
• 13:34 AND PEOPLE COME TO THAT AND MAKE A FUSS OVER THAT.
• 13:36 OUR CREW HAPPENED TO GO THERE
• 13:39 AND WE CAN SHOW YOU HOW THE LAST BAKE LOOKS.
• 13:44 MOST PEOPLE THAT COME HERE ARE NOT WORKING HERE.
• 13:46 AS A MATTER OF FACT, ALMOST NOBODY WORKS HERE.
• 13:49 EVERYBODY WHO COMES ARE PEOPLE WHO WANT TO TAKE PART THEMSELVES IN MAKING OF THE MATZO.
• 13:54 INSTEAD OF GOING TO THE SUPERMARKET
• 13:56 AND PICKING IT UP WRAPPED IN CELLOPHANE,
• 13:58 YOU WANT TO MAKE IT YOURSELF, HAVE A PART.
• 14:00 AND THERE'S ALSO A SPECIAL MITVAH,
• 14:02 OR A SPECIAL GOOD QUALITY OF MAKING MATZOS
• 14:06 ON THE AFTERNOON BEFORE THE PASSOVER SEDER.
• 14:09 BECAUSE MANY, MANY YEARS AGO WHEN THERE WAS A TEMPLE,
• 14:13 THIS WAS THE TIME WHEN THE PASSOVER SACRIFICE WAS OFFERED
• 14:16 AND EVERYBODY WOULD COME TOGETHER TO HAVE THE FAMILY DINNER WITH THE OFFERINGS.
• 14:20 SO TODAY THERE IS NO TEMPLE;
• 14:21 THERE ARE NO SACRIFICES,
• 14:23 BUT WHAT WE DO IS WE DO SOMETHING AT THE SAME TIME WHEN THE SACRIFICES WERE GIVEN
• 14:27 AND THIS MAKING OF THE MATZO IS A CONTINUATION
• 14:31 OF THAT SAME KIND OF A PATTERN OF RUSHING AND HUSTLING AROUND.
• 14:36 THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS TO DO AT HOME
• 14:38 AND SO MANY THINGS TO GET READY,
• 14:39 BUT YOU TAKE A BREAK, GO MAKE THE MATZOS, AND THEN YOU GO ON.
• 14:44 (Matso factory spokesman) YOU SEE HERE, HERE THE FLOUR COMES THROUGH.
• 14:47 BY PRESSING THE BUTTON AN EXACT AMOUNT IS BEING MEASURED.
• 14:51 THE AMOUNT OF FOOD IS EXACTLY MEASURED ACCORDING TO THE CONTAINERS THAT WE USE
• 14:56 IN ORDER TO MIX THE WATER AND THE FLOUR
• 14:59 SO THAT THE MIXTURE OF WATER AND FLOUR IS EXACTLY WHAT IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE.
• 15:04 THE CONTAINER WITH THE MIXTURE IS BEING BROUGHT HERE.
• 15:07 IT'S BEING MIXED.
• 15:14 AFTER A CERTAIN TIME,
• 15:16 AGAIN EXACT TIMES,
• 15:17 A PERSON TAKES THE CONTAINER WITH THE DOUGH
• 15:25 AND IT'S BEING POURED INTO THE MATZO MAKING MACHINE.
• 15:40 FROM HERE THE DOUGH IS BEING ROLLED OUT.
• 15:44 IT GOES ALONG THIS CONVEYOR BELT.
• 15:56 TOWARDS THE END IT GOES THROUGH THAT PARTICULAR ROLL IN ORDER TO MAKE HOLES INSIDE THE DOUGH
• 16:03 SO THAT THE DOUGH HAS NO CHANCE OF HAVING ANY AIR HOLES INSIDE.
• 16:07 AT THIS POINT THE DOUGH GOES INTO THE OVEN.
• 16:11 THE WHOLE PROCESS TAKES AROUND 2 AND 1/2 MINUTES.
• 16:15 ON THE AFTERNOON OF PASSOVER
• 16:16 IT'S ALREADY FORBIDDEN
• 16:18 TO HAVE LEAVENED DOUGH OR BREAD
• 16:20 OR ANYTHING OF THAT TYPE.
• 16:22 SO WHEN THE MACHINE RUNS FOR 18 MINUTES,
• 16:24 THE PIECES THAT ARE LEFT ARE NOW FORBIDDEN.
• 16:27 THERE'S NO POINT IN CLEANING BECAUSE IT IS TOO LATE.
• 16:30 AS A RESULT THERE IS ONLY ONE RUN.
• 16:33 IF YOU GET THE MATZOS FROM THAT RUN YOU HAVE THEM,
• 16:35 AND IF YOU CAME ALL THE WAY OUT HERE
• 16:38 AND YOU WASTED AN HOUR IN THE COURSE OF THE DAY OR AN HOUR AND A HALF,
• 16:42 YOU WANT TO BE PRETTY SURE YOU GOT SOMETHING FOR YOUR TIME.
• 16:45 BECAUSE IF YOU DON'T GET THEM NOW,
• 16:46 THAT'S IT UNTIL NEXT YEAR.
• 16:52 YOU KNOW THIS LAST BAKE MATZO IS PASSED OUT FREE TO THE PEOPLE.
• 16:56 THAT'S ONE REASON WHY IT'S POPULAR.
• 16:59 THEY COME AROUND FOR IT.
• 17:00 I WONDER IF INSTEAD OF THINKING SIMPLY FREE BREAD
• 17:04 THAT IT EQUAL SALVATION - THE FREE GIFT OF GOD.
• 17:07 BECAUSE THE BAKING IS DONE
• 17:10 AT THE SAME TIME AS THE SACRIFICE AT THE TEMPLE WAS DONE ON THAT AFTERNOON
• 17:15 AND OF COURSE WE KNOW WHAT THAT LEADS TO.
• 17:17 YOU KNOW WHEN I WAS A KID I DIDN'T RUN AROUND AND SEARCH FOR LEAVEN LIKE OTHER KIDS
• 17:24 BECAUSE IN MY FAMILY, I HAPPENED TO HAVE THE JOB OF BEING THE HAROSES MAKER.
• 17:28 THAT'S THE STUFF THAT MEANS BRICK MORTAR IN THE PASSOVER SEDER.
• 17:32 IT'S MADE OF APPLES AND NUTS AND CINNAMON AND A LITTLE WINE MIXED TOGETHER.
• 17:37 IT'S DELICIOUS, BUT MINE WAS ESPECIALLY DELICIOUS
• 17:40 AND I'M PREPARED TO REVEAL THE SECRET OF MY HAROSES.
• 17:43 I PICKED THE NUTS OFF OF THE HONEY CAKE THAT WAS BOUGHT FOR THE PASSOVER
• 17:51 AND ALL THOSE WALNUTS HAD A LITTLE BIT OF HONEY ON EACH ONE
• 17:54 AND WHEN I GRATED THOSE INTO MY HAROSES IT WAS ESPECIALLY SWEET AND EVERYBODY LOVED IT.
• 17:59 BUT THAT'S THE SECRET.
• 18:00 I'VE NEVER TOLD ANYONE BEFORE,
• 18:02 AND IF YOU MAKE HAROSES TRY THAT.
• 18:04 YOU KNOW THAT THE NUTS ARE KOSHER BECAUSE THE WHOLE HONEY CAKE IS KOSHER FOR PASSOVER.
• 18:08 ANYWAY WE WENT TO A FRIEND -
• 18:10 WE HAVE MANY RABBINICAL FRIENDS IN ISRAEL.
• 18:12 WE WENT TO RABBI NOACH,
• 18:14 WHO TELLS US ABOUT THE LEAVENED CEREMONIES,
• 18:17 HOW THEY SEARCH OUT THE LEAVEN IN THE HOUSE.
• 18:20 A VERY IMPORTANT ASPECT OF PASSOVER IS OF COURSE
• 18:25 THE PROHIBITION NOT ONLY OF EATING, BUT OF SEEING,
• 18:30 OR HAVING IN ONE'S POSSESSION ANY LEAVEN
• 18:33 THROUGHOUT THE 7 DAYS OF PASSOVER.
• 18:36 SO ON THE EVE OF PASSOVER,
• 18:39 IN OTHER WORDS THE NIGHT BEFORE THE NIGHT OF PASSOVER,
• 18:42 WE MUST SEARCH ASSIDUOUSLY FOR THE LEAVEN THROUGHOUT THE HOUSE.
• 18:48 IT'S A VERY BEAUTIFUL CUSTOM TO DISTRIBUTE A FEW PIECES OF LEAVEN
• 18:54 WRAPPED IN TIN FOIL SO THAT THEY WON'T SPREAD ABROAD,
• 18:58 BECAUSE AFTER ALL WE DON'T WANT THE HOUSE TO BE POLLUTED WITH LEAVEN AGAIN...
• 19:03 THE FATHER WILL HAVE HIDDEN THOSE PIECES OF LEAVEN WRAPPED IN TIN FOIL,
• 19:07 AND THE CHILDREN IN THE COURSE OF SEARCHING FOR THE LEAVEN WILL THEM.
• 19:10 THE SEARCH IS PERFORMED AT NIGHT WITH CANDLELIGHT
• 19:15 BECAUSE THE LIGHT OF A CANDLE, WHEN A CANDLE IS LIT,
• 19:19 WHEN ALL AROUND IS DARKNESS,
• 19:21 ENABLES ONE TO SEE MUCH BETTER -
• 19:25 IT MIGHT SEEM IRONIC - THAN IN DAYLIGHT OR EVEN THEN WITH AN ELECTRIC LIGHT.
• 19:30 THEREFORE WHEN WE FIND THE CRUMBS
• 19:34 WE SWEEP THEM UP WITH A LITTLE FEATHER, AND SCOOP THEM UP,
• 19:40 AND THEN GATHER THEM TOGETHER,
• 19:43 TOGETHER WITH THE LEAVEN WRAPPED UP IN TIN FOIL THAT WE KNOW THE CHILDREN WILL HAVE FOUND
• 19:48 AND THEN, OF COURSE, THE NEXT DAY WE WILL BURN THEM.
• 19:52 (From actual celebration) ALL BREAD AND LEAVEN THAT IS IN MY POSSESSION
• 19:55 THAT I HAVE OR HAVE NOT SEEN,
• 19:57 THAT I HAVE OR HAVE NOT DESTROYED,
• 20:00 SHALL BE NULLIFIED AND SHALL BE PUBLIC LIKE THE DUST OF THE EARTH.
• 20:04 MAY IT BE YOUR WILL OH GOD, MY LORD, AND LORD OF MY FATHERS
• 20:08 THAT JUST AS I HAVE REMOVED ALL LEAVEN FROM MY HOUSE AND PROPERTY
• 20:12 SO MAY YOU DESTROY ALL EVIL FORCES AND REMOVE THE SPIRIT OF WICKEDNESS FROM YOUR WORLD.
• 20:19 NO MATTER HOW THOROUGHLY WE HAVE LOOKED INSIDE OURSELVES
• 20:24 FOR THE EVIL INCLINATION, TO EXPURGATE IT,TO DESTROY IT,
• 20:28 MAN MUST KNOW THAT NO MATTER HOW HARD HE TRIES,
• 20:31 HE WILL CONTINUE ALWAYS ON SOME LEVEL TO TRANSGRESS.
• 20:35 THE EVIL INCLINATION IS SO PERVASIVE THAT ULTIMATELY
• 20:39 WE BELIEVE THAT IT IS ONLY WITH THE HELP OF GOD THAT WE CAN DEFEAT IT.
• 20:45 MAN, LEFT TO HIS OWN DEVICES, IS INCAPABLE OF DESTROYING THE EVIL INCLINATION.
• 20:52 ONLY WITH GOD'S HELP.
• 21:01 YOU KNOW WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT THE LEAVEN THAT'S ALWAYS BURNED,
• 21:06 WHETHER THEY THROW IT IN A FIREPLACE IN SOME PLACES
• 21:09 OR BURN IT THE WAY WE SAW RABBI NOACH IN THIS TRADITION,
• 21:13 IT'S ALWAYS BURNT.
• 21:15 OF COURSE FIRE IS THE JUDGMENT OF SIN.
• 21:18 THOSE LITTLE CRUMBS OF LEAVEN ARE SINS
• 21:20 AND THE FIRE BURNS THEM UP AND PURIFIES THEM, AND THEN YOU HAVE JUST AN UNLEAVENED HOUSEHOLD.
• 21:27 UNLEAVENED BREAD IS THE SYMBOL OF MESSIAH.
• 21:31 THAT'S THE MESSIAH AGAIN.
• 21:33 AFTER SINS ARE JUDGED AND HE TAKES THE JUDGMENT,
• 21:35 THEN WE CAN PARTAKE OF HIM.
• 21:38 AVI MIZRACHI, OUR FRIEND A MESSIANIC JEW IN ISRAEL EXPLAINS.
• 21:44 AVI, WE'RE DOING A SERIES ON THE FEASTS OF ISRAEL,
• 21:48 LEVITICUS 23.
• 21:49 THIS PARTICULAR PROGRAM ADDRESSES THE FEAST OF UNLEAVENED BREAD.
• 21:53 WHAT DOES THAT FEAST MEAN TO YOU ESPECIALLY?
• 21:55 WELL WHEN WE THINK OF THE UNLEAVENED BREAD
• 21:58 I THINK ABOUT THE MATZO BREAD.
• 22:00 THAT'S WHAT WE CALL IT.
• 22:01 FOR US FOR EXAMPLE I WENT WITH MY CHILDREN LAST NIGHT, YESTERDAY,
• 22:07 IN THE MORNING WE WENT AND WE BURNED ALL THE BREAD, THE LEFTOVERS OF THE BREAD.
• 22:12 WE ARE PREPARED AND READY TO TAKE THE PASSOVER MEAL.
• 22:16 FOR US IT HAS A DEEP, DEEP MEANING
• 22:18 BECAUSE WE ARE BELIEVERS IN YESHUA, IN JESUS.
• 22:21 SO IN THIS PASSOVER EVENING, LEIL SEDER, AS WE CELEBRATE IT
• 22:25 WE SHARE HOW YESHUA, OUR PASSOVER LAMB,
• 22:30 AS WE HAVE THE SHANK BONE ON THE TABLE, WE REMEMBER THE PASSOVER LAMB.
• 22:35 BECAUSE OF HIM,
• 22:37 BECAUSE OF THE BLOOD THAT WAS SET ON THE DOORS,
• 22:39 WE WERE SAVED FROM DEATH.
• 22:41 WE CAME OUT FROM SLAVERY INTO FREEDOM.
• 22:44 AND WE CELEBRATE THE FULFILLMENT IN YESHUA,
• 22:47 THEREFORE WE LEAVE BEHIND EVERYTHING THAT HAS TO DO WITH SIN - THE OLD AND PAST
• 22:52 COMING INTO THE NEWNESS OF LIFE
• 22:56 AND IT'S FOUND ONLY IN THE MESSIAH.
• 22:58 WHEN SOMEONE ACCEPTS YESHUA, JESUS, INTO THEIR LIVES
• 23:02 DO THE FEASTS HAVE MEANING?
• 23:03 YES, IT HAS A LOT OF MEANING TO THEM,
• 23:06 BECAUSE SUDDENLY THE FEAST IS FULFILLED IN THE MESSIAH
• 23:10 AND THINGS THAT MAYBE THE RELIGIOUS HAD TAKEN OUT OF CONTEXT, WE LEAVE IT ASIDE
• 23:17 BUT WE SHOW HOW IT HAS BEEN FULFILLED IN THE MESSIAH.
• 23:20 SO WE TAKE THE FEAST AND SHOW IT HAS BEEN FULFILLED IN THE MESSIAH
• 23:23 AND IT HAS A DEEPER MEANING TO US.
• 23:26 WHAT WOULD YOU SAY TO A PERSON WHO KNOWS VERY LITTLE ABOUT THE FEASTS IF ANYTHING?
• 23:29 DO YOU THINK THEY'RE MISSING VERY MUCH?
• 23:31 BORN AGAIN BELIEVERS THAT DO NOT REALLY UNDERSTAND THE FEASTS,
• 23:35 THEY ARE MISSING SOMETHING VERY IMPORTANT.
• 23:38 NOW I WANT TO CLARIFY THIS BY STUDYING THE FEASTS,
• 23:43 STUDYING THE SCRIPTURES FROM THE OLD TESTAMENT,
• 23:45 I'M NOT IMPOSING FOR YOU TO GO UNDER THE LAW.
• 23:50 IF THIS IS HOW YOU UNDERSTAND IT, THEN I'M SORRY,
• 23:54 BUT YOU HAVE A VERY LIMITED UNDERSTANDING OF THE SCRIPTURES.
• 23:56 BECAUSE ALL THE FEASTS, THE JEWISH BIBLICAL FEASTS,
• 24:02 ARE LIKE A FORESHADOWING DO YOU SAY? >>YES.
• 24:05 ...FOR THE REVELATION THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO COME.
• 24:09 TODAY WE ARE WISE BECAUSE WE LOOK BACK.
• 24:11 WE HAVE THE REVELATION.
• 24:12 BUT IF WE GO MORE THAN 2,000 YEARS AGO
• 24:15 THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE REVELATION.
• 24:17 THEY JUST HAD AN UNDERSTANDING OF THE SCRIPTURES
• 24:19 AND THEY WERE LOOKING FORWARD FOR THAT PERSON,
• 24:21 FOR THE ANOINTED ONE,
• 24:23 THE MESSIAH WILL COME AND FULFILL IT
• 24:26 AND MAKE EVERYTHING CLEAR BY REVELATION.
• 24:29 SO TODAY WE HAVE A MUCH DEEPER UNDERSTANDING
• 24:33 BECAUSE JESUS FULFILLED THOSE FEASTS.
• 24:36 HE, HIMSELF FULFILLED THEM.
• 24:40 HE FULFILLED THE LAW IN THE SCRIPTURES AND THE FEASTS.
• 24:43 WHEN WE UNDERSTAND THAT WE...
• 24:45 IF WE DON'T UNDERSTAND THE FEASTS
• 24:46 THEN WE DON'T WHAT HE CAME TO FULFILL.
• 24:48 WELL, AVI, WHAT WOULD YOUR DIAGNOSIS BE FOR THE BODY OF BELIEVERS HERE IN ISRAEL?
• 24:55 IS IT HEALTHY?
• 24:56 IS IT GROWING?
• 24:58 OH, DEFINITELY.
• 24:59 IF YOU ASKED EVERY CONGREGATION HERE IN THIS COUNTRY TODAY,
• 25:02 THEY COULD LOOK BACK SAY FIVE YEARS AGO,
• 25:06 THEY WOULD SAY EACH ONE OF THEM ONE BY ONE, "WE HAVE GROWN SO MUCH."
• 25:10 NOW WE ARE HAVING BIG PROBLEMS OF SPACE.
• 25:13 BUT IT'S A GOOD PROBLEM TO HAVE.
• 25:15 EVERY CONGREGATION HAS EXPERIENCED A GROWTH IN THEM.
• 25:19 WHETHER IT'S FROM RUSSIAN IMMIGRANTS OR JUST LOCAL
• 25:22 ISRAELIS ARE COMING TO THE LORD,
• 25:24 OR NEW IMMIGRANTS FROM OTHER COUNTRIES,
• 25:26 FROM ETHIOPIA OR OTHER COUNTRIES,
• 25:28 OR AMERICA OR LATIN AMERICA.
• 25:30 WE ARE DEFINITELY SEEING GOD IS DOING SOMETHING
• 25:33 AND I BELIEVE IT HAS TO DO WITH THAT THE HARVEST
• 25:37 IS DEFINITELY READY IN TEL AVIV AND IN ISRAEL,
• 25:40 ALL OVER ISRAEL I BELIEVE LIKE NEVER BEFORE.
• 25:43 I BELIEVE WHAT WE'RE SEEING NOW
• 25:44 WITH THE GROWTH THAT WE ARE SEEING,
• 25:46 AS LEADERS WE SEE THE IMPORTANCE TO RAISE UP OTHER LEADERS
• 25:48 BECAUSE WE ARE BELIEVING FOR A GREAT REVIVAL, A BIG HARVEST TO COME
• 25:53 AND WE BETTER BE PREPARED FOR IT.
• 26:47 I LOVE THESE TEACHINGS ON THE HOLY DAYS OF THE LORD.
• 26:50 WE USE THE WORD "FEAST" BUT IN TRUTH THE HEBREW WORD IS "MOADIM"
• 26:53 AND IT MEANS "APPOINTED TIMES" OR MEETINGS WITH GOD.
• 26:56 IT'S A BROAD WORD AND WITHIN THE FEASTS...HOLY DAYS...
• 27:00 THERE ARE SOME ARE THAT ARE ACTUALLY FASTING TIMES.
• 27:02 SO THERE'S REALLY DIFFERENT MEANINGS TO THEM.
• 27:04 LEAVEN IS REFERRED TO AS SIN
• 27:06 AND SO UNLEAVENED BREAD FEAST IS ABOUT HOLINESS UNTO THE LORD,
• 27:10 IT'S FASTING OUR SINS.
• 27:11 ITS REALLY ABOUT PERSONAL TRANSFORMATION.
• 27:13 RIGHT
• 27:15 WELL WE WANT TO THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE FOR THIS PROGRAM
• 27:18 AND WE WANT TO TELL YOU AGAIN,
• 27:20 SHAL'ALU SHALOM YERUSHALAYIM.
• 27:22 PRAY FOR THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM.
