“Cleanse out the old leaven that you may be a new lump, as you really are unleavened. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed”. 1 Corinthians 5:7 ESV As there is an “old leaven”, is there a “new leaven”? What is a “new lump”? Understanding the actual properties of leaven can help us to better understand its meaning in our lives.
After showing how sin is not even mentioned by God in the Passover and Feast of Unleavened Bread in Israel’s example or the ceremonial feast system, we take a similar look at the “Historical-Prophetic Time-Line”.
If leaven represents sin, where do we find sin in the “Shadow” of God’s Ceremonial Feast system and the “Example” of Israel?
Does leaven represent sin? Are you sure? Have you proven it? Or have you just had this idea repeated to you so frequently that it is difficult for you to consider an alternative meaning? What does leaven actually symbolize in The Bible?
And why it may matter to those of The Way.
