4. This is the conclusion to what Paul is saying
When he said, "let us keep the feast," (1Cor.5:8) was speaking "the wisdom of God in a mystery
(1Cor.2:7).As the apostle and "wise master builder" (1Cor.3:10) he is building a spiritual truth
concerning leaven from the blueprint language of the Old Testament "ensample" or type
(1Cor.10:11).
a. The entire Corinthian Church was to "purge out...the old leaven"
Purge out the leaven of this person and "deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction
of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus" (1 Cor 5:5-7). This is in
accordance to the type, where Israel was to "put away (purge) leaven out of their houses
(Exod.12:15).

II. Bible Language: Unleavened Bread
The kingdoms of this world have their own language, music and custom that identify them. (Gen.10:5,
20,32) In God's Kingdom there is a language, music and customs. The apostle Paul said, "I beseech
you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye (you) all speak the same thing there that
be no divisions among you" (1 Cor 1:10 / Note: John.17:21-23, Eph.4:1-16 / 1Cor.13;9-12, Psa.133:1-3).
A. The Language of the Feasts of Israel (Kingdom of God Language)
Jesus "taught" (Gal.1:11-12, John.16:10-15) the apostle Paul to instruct the Corinthian Church
(1Cor.1:1-3)how to correct the sin in their assembly using the language of the Feast of
Unleavened Bread (1Cor.5:1-8, Exod.12:1-19, Luke.22:1). Paul’s admonition was "Let us keep
the feast" (of unleavened bread) and this will deal with the sin in the Church. (Review: Phase 8, 9,
and 11 / Coming Soon)

3. It is relevant today becauseGod kept this feast and fulfilled it.
When Jesus was crucified, He was and is the reality [13](1Cor.5:7-8) of the Passover Lamb
(Exod.12:1-15, Mark.14:12) which is also called the "feast of unleavened bread" (Luke 22:1). This
brought the Feast into the New Testament (Covenant). Not only did God bring the reality [13]of
this feast into the Church, He also kept the reality of the next feast, the Feast of Pentecost, (Acts.2:1
also called the Feast of Weeks [14] / Harvest [15]). This was because God was following the Old
Testament "ensample" (blueprint / model). "Three times in a year shall all thy males appear before
the Lord thy God in the place which he shall choose; in the Feast of Unleavened Bread, (Passover)
and in the Feast of Weeks (Pentecost) and in the Feast of Tabernacles and they shall not appear
before the Lord empty (Deut 16:16). Review: Phase 8, and9Coming Soon. (Note: The Feast of
Tabernacles has not been fulfilled yet.)
e. Modern translations lose this "link" when they replace Unleavened Bread with "yeast"
The "natural man" does not assimilate "the things of the Spirit God" (such as using the words
unleavened bread) "for they are foolishness (1Cor.1:18) unto him: neither can he know them,
(Rom.8:6-7)because they are spiritually discerned." (1Cor.2:14) They use the word “yeast"
instead of “unleavened bread” because they think that the everyday Christian will not under-
stand what "unleavened bread" is. This robs God's people of the connection with the truths
of the Feast of Unleavened Bread which in turn robs them of the connection with the
truths of Pentecost (Phase 8)and Tabernacles. (Phase 9)
d. This feast is "written for our admonition" to give us insight into our future
Now "all these things (including the Feast of Unleavened Bread) happened unto them for
ensamples: (types) and are "written for our (The New Testament Church) admonition, upon
whom the ends of the world are come" (1 Cor 10:11-12). This feast "links" to the Feast of
Passover, which “links” to the other two Feasts that Israel, was to keep (Deut.16:16).
(1) If you use the word "yeast" then...
What Paul wrote "For even Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us" will make no sense.
What happens is that the saint overlooks the connection between Passover and Christ,
thinking it is just an old King James out of date language. Some would even think that
this is meant only for the Jewish people. However, it makes perfect sense when you
understand the Bible Language of the Feast of Passover (Exod.12:1-20 Phase 8). The
blood of the Passover Lamb set Israel free which is what the blood of Christ does for us
when we are set free from sin. (Freed from the bondage of Egypt / Sin / Review: Phase 2)
The Feast of Unleavened bread also holds a type / shadow of Water Baptism
(Phase 8). Both involve a cutting off of the flesh or our old life.
(2) If you use the word "yeast" then...
You break an important connection. If you miss the connection between the Feast of Passover
and the other Feasts (Pentecost and Tabernacles), you will miss God's calendar for the church
in the wilderness and the New Testament Church (Acts.7:38, 1Cor.10:11, Rom.15:4).
Without this connection we would not know about God's calendar for the New
Testament Church. Now it makes sense why they waited in the upper room for the
"day of Pentecost" to "fully come."(Acts.2:1Review: Phase 9) it was to keep that Feast
in its reality. Also you will not see there is still a feast that the Church has not come to
yet, the Feast of Tabernacles.
(3) If you use the word "yeast" then..
You likely may just read over the Biblical language, "Purge out therefore the old
leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened" (1Cor.5:7). Most likely you
may dismiss it as old King James language that does not relate to modern
Christianity. This is a mistake because "unleavened bread" isBible Language that
is timeless and relates to any generation. In the language of the Feast day they
had the responsibility to make sure no leaven would be found in their houses.
(Exod.12:15-20) This is what the apostle and wise master builder /architect (1Cor.3:10)
was reading in the blueprint. Paul told the Corinthians that they had the
responsibility to excommunicate this believer (1Cor.5:11-13).
(4) If you use the word "yeast" then...
You may likely overlook the seriousness of allowing leaven to continue. Leaven found in
their house ment that their "soul shall be cut off [17] from Israel" (Ex. 12:15).

1. Some thinkthis language is not relevant to the Church today
Some say this is old King James language, that nobody uses anymore and they change the
wording in 1Cor.5:7-8 to say "yeast"[11]instead of "unleavened bread."This “confounds”
(confuses, mixes) the language of the Kingdom of God and what Jesus said. Luke records that
after Jesus resurrected He "shewed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs,
being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining[12]to the Kingdom
of God(Acts.1:3-4) which includes "the Law of Moses, which includes the feast of unleavened
bread / Passover, the prophets, and the psalms, concerning Himself" (Luke 24:44-46,
Matt.5:17-19, Gal.3:24). This makes it relevant to our modern day Church. The apostle Peter
confirms this (1Peter.1:10-12, 2Peter.3:1-2, Rom.16:25-26).

2. It is relevant today because apostle Paul wrote, "let us keep the feast”
How can we ignore (1Cor.10:1-11) this language when we are told to keep the feast? What feast?
It is the feast of unleavened bread.(Review: Phase 8) Unfortunately many of God's people are
"ignorant" (1Cor.10:1-3) of this feast day because many think this language is just old (out of
date KJV) translation that is not relative to today's church. This is a mistake!This is God-
breathed, God inspired (2Tim 3:16-17) language of the Kingdom of God!
