Unleavened Bread (2 of 7)
Series: Living Out the Feasts of Israel
Dr. Ernest L. Easley
Leviticus 23:4, 6-8
Now with our Bibles opened to Leviticus 23, we're learning these days about ...
LIVING OUT THE FEASTS OF ISRAEL,
and of course, I'm talking about those seven feasts named in the 23rd chapter of Leviticus. And not only named, but named in sequential order.
The bible speaks of various times of feasting, in fact, at least fifty! For example, in Genesis 21.8 we read that Abraham ''held a great feast on the day Isaac was weaned.'' You'd think that Sarah, his mother, would be the one throwing the party! Can't you hear Sarah one day saying to Abraham: ''Abe! This son of yours has FINALLY been weaned! I didn't think this day would ever come! I say we have a celebration!'' The day a child is weaned is worth celebrating for the whole family, but especially the mother!
In Genesis 40.20, we read that on Pharaoh's birthday, ''he gave a feast for all his servants. He elevated the chief cupbearer and the chief baker among his servants.'' Poor ole Pharaoh had to throw himself a birthday party because no one else wanted to, except perhaps the chief cupbearer and baker who got a raise.
Then we read in Psalm 81.3, ''Blow the ram's horn on the day of our feasts, during the new moon and during the full moon.'' You need a good, loud horn blasting when you're feasting! Amen? The Bible, especially the Old Testament, is full of feasting.
We Baptist are known for feasting: hey, it's biblical! And God knew we would fond of feasting! That's why He included passages like Proverbs 23.1-2, ''When you sit down to dine with a ruler; consider carefully what is before you, and put a knife to your throat if you have a big appetite.''
And what about Proverbs 23.21, ''For the drunkard and the glutton will become poor, and grogginess will clothe them in rags.'' God associates the glutton with drunkards, for neither one has a lot of self-control!
