The Feast Of Unleavened Bread

The  Feast of Unleavened Bread, or as some prefer, the Feast of Matstsah, is often overshadowed by the Pesach.  There is an influence that often has the two feasts lumped together into one observance, labeling the entire eight day observance as the Pesach.  This should not be done.  They are in fact, two different Appointed Times, representing two different aspects of Yahusha's mission on earth.

​The Pesach is a memorial of Yahuah's judgement of the gods of Egypt by, killing the firstborn of man and cattle, seeing the mark of the covenant, and 'passing over' the houses of His Chosen Ones.  The Pesach points to Yahushua, HaMashiach in his first coming, as our sacrificial lamb, who atones for us via the shedding of his blood.

The Feast of Unleavened Bread commemorates the hasty departure from the land of Egypt, the very next day.  In the scripture, Egypt is symbolic of idolatry, lawlessness, and sin.  Leaven is always equated with sin, as found in:

            'A little leaven leavens the whole lump.'  ~Galatians 5:9~
