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.



Faith isn’t passive. It’s active. If you don’t believe me, read Hebrews 11.

Shut Up and Get Moving

Steven Furtick
When we’re looking for God to do something big. When we’re waiting to see God bring something new and greater into our lives. Be still. Let the Lord fight the battle for you. Let go and let God.
Trust in Him No matter what you are going through in life, you can trust God to be with you.

Some Positive Thing We Can Look at or Talk

Joyce Meyer
I once read a book that was based entirely on the word. He taught the reader to take each problem in his life, look at it honestly and then say “however,” and find something compensating positive in the individual's life that would put the problem into perspective.
The Bible makes it clear that we need to love each other as God loves us.

Learning the Love Languages

Gary Chapman
Many couples earnestly love each other but do not communicate their love in an effective way. If you don’t speak your spouse’s primary love language, he or she may not feel loved, even when you are showing love in other ways.
Why is it important to understand the distinction of the Spirit? Because He’s the one to whom we relate.

The Voice of the Spirit Within Us

Chris Tiegreen
We don’t understand the mysteries of the relationship between Father, Son, and Spirit, but we do know each has a distinct role in our lives. When Jesus tells His disciples about the work of the Spirit, He explains that the Spirit will hear from Jesus Himself, who in turn has heard from the Father.
If you already know the joy of Jesus, pray now for those who don’t yet understand that God wants them to invite his Son into their hearts.

Humbly Choosing God

Katie Brazelton
I’m convinced God will do anything for those who are meek, anything at all that’s in their best interest. When we humbly understand who we are in relation to him, our lives begin to make sense with a newfound confidence in him, his power, and his ways.
