The Crossing of the Red Sea” by Nicolas Poussin c. 1634
The Apostle Paul told the Corinthians to keep the Feast and purge the old leaven and to live spiritually unleavened. How long is the festival called the Days of Unleavened Bread? What was recorded in the Book of Exodus that took place on the seventh day of Unleavened Bread? What does the Jewish Temple Institute teach about the timing? What did the children of Israel do when faced with new leaven? Did they also repeatedly yearn for the old leaven of bondage and Egypt? Might Lot and Abraham have kept the Days of Unleavened Bread? Might Sodom and Gomorrah have been destroyed during the Days of Unleavened Bread? What did Herbert W. Armstrong and the old Worldwide Church of God teach about some of these matters? What did Jesus and the New Testament writers teach about leaven, growing, and facing new problems? Is faith important when encountering what could be referred to as 'new leaven'? Are Christians to look back or go forward to grow in grace and knowledge of Jesus? Dr. Thiel covers this in a sermon intended for the seventh day of Unleavened Bread.
