Meaning of YEAST

Substance used to ferment and raise dough (Ex. 12:15, 19; 13:7). In biblical times, a piece of sour dough was used for this.



Substance used to ferment and raise dough (Ex. 12:15, 19; 13:7). In biblical times, a piece of sour dough was used for this. Leaven was prohibited in the offerings that were to be consumed on the altar; those in which they participated could have it (Ex. 7:13; 23:17).

Leaven, an agent of corruption, is the emblem of pernicious doctrines (Mt. 16:11; Mark 8:15), of evil (1 Cor. 5:6-8; Gal. 5:9), of that we have to keep ourselves totally.

During the Passover, the Israelites were not to consume leavened bread, nor even to have leaven in their homes, under penalty of being cut off from their people (Ex. 12:15, 19). The absence of yeast symbolized the purity that God demands of his servants.

This was also a reminder of their departure from Egypt, since the Israelites took the unfermented dough with them. The tastelessness of this unleavened bread would serve as a reminder of the afflictions of Egypt (Ex. 12:34, 39; Deut. 16:3; 1 Cor. 5:7, 8).

The parable of the leaven (Mt. 13:33) has been variously interpreted. Certain commentators have believed they see in it an image of the saturating influence of the Gospel that, in a perhaps hidden way, penetrates all media and the entire earth (cf. Col. 1:16).

However, it must be noted that in all other biblical passages leaven is consistently a symbol of iniquity. In the same way that the tares are mixed with the wheat until the harvest (Mt. 13:24-30), so the yeast introduced into the flour produces a leaven of corruption that will increase until the apostasy and the judgment that is to come. fall on it (Mt. 24:12; 2 Thes. 2:3).

In this sense it is used by Paul in 1 Cor. 5:6-8 and Gal. 5:9, so the optimistic interpretation is invalid. The parable of the tares and the parable of the leaven show different aspects of the same reality: the process of corruption leading to apostasy within the testimony of the Church on earth until the intervention of the Lord in judgment on an apostate Christianity (cf. Luke 18:8; 1 Tim. 4:1; 2 Tim. 3:1-5, etc.).

Thus, "until everything was leavened," instead of meaning that the whole world will be won to the Gospel, has a diametrically opposite meaning.

Light which Redeems the Soul

Jimmy Swaggart
The darkness that was here prevalent was taken away only by the Spirit of God, as He moved upon the face of the waters. As someone has well said, The Moving of the Holy Spirit is the first sign of life.
Put your Faith in Him and what He has done for you at the Cross.

Beginnings are one thing, while endings are another!

Jimmy Swaggart
On this first day of a brand-new year, which is a new beginning of sorts, the Lord offers to every person a brand-new beginning in their life, irrespective as to what the past has been. Millions this year will make New Year’s resolutions, resolutions which invariably will not be kept.
The place where god puts you will not be perfect—even eden was exposed to the possibility of evil. But there is no better place to be than where god has set you down.

A Place Called Home

Colin S. Smith and Tim Augustyn
The book of genesis is part of the revelation god gave to moses at mount Sinai, so when it says eden was “in the east,” we are talking about a location somewhere east of Sinai.
We were created to come close to a Father who has made himself vulnerable to the longings of his people and to absorb his desires as he cares for and works through ours.

God’s Heart and Ours

Chris Tiegreen
One of the primary ways God accomplishes his purposes on earth is through the prayers of his people. And one of our primary motivations for prayer is the desires in our hearts.
God’s Word gives us the resilience of a tree with a source of living water that will never dry up.

The Secret of Strength and Happiness

Timothy Keller
Psalm 1 is the gateway to the rest of the psalms. The “law” is all Scripture, to “meditate” is to think out its implications for all life, and to “delight” in it means not merely to comply but to love what God commands.
