The Untold Truth About BREAD in The Bible
Two kinds of bread in the Bible.
There are two kinds of bread mentioned in the Bible. leavened and unleavened bread. The difference between leavened and unleavened bread is found in the word itself: leaven. Leaven is what is placed in bread dough to make the bread rise.
Leavened bread is prepared with rising agents such as yeast. Unleavened bread is prepared without using any rising agents. Unleavened bread is generally flatbread.
These two kinds of bread were only used as metaphors in the Christian Bible. Their connotations can be traced to a particular human organ.
Yes, you heard me right. All biblical stories or allegories can be traced to your internal systems and organs.
Now let me quickly show what I mean by the above claim.
As you already know, the leavening agent is what makes bread dough rise.
The lungs are two air-filled organs that are seated on either side of the thoracic cavity. They are the primary organs of respiration. They help with gas exchange in the pulmonary circulation.
Inside the lungs are airways that end in tiny clusters of air sacs called alveoli. They are super tiny and inflatable. They expand and contract with each breath.
Breathing involves two phases. breathing in and breathing out.
When you breathe in, or inhale, your diaphragm contracts and moves downward. This makes your chest cavity bigger because oxygen-rich air rushes into your lungs and fills the spaces between the alveolar walls, which causes your lungs to expand, leaven, or get bigger.
The expanded lungs are similar to baked bread that contains a leavening agent. Remember, leaven is what is placed in bread dough to make the bread rise. And what causes the lungs to expand, or leaven, is the inhaled air from the atmosphere containing oxygen, or Christ. It is the breath, or βbread,β of life.
On the other hand, when you breathe out, or exhale, your diaphragm and ribcage muscles relax, reducing the space in the chest cavity.
As the chest cavity gets smaller, your lungs deflate, similar to how air is released from a balloon.
As this happens, carbon dioxide-rich air flows out of your lungs through the windpipe and then out of your nose or mouth.
When the air in the alveoli sacs deflates, there are few or no air bubbles left in the lungs, which makes them flat and unleavened like Arabic flatbread.
Breathing in is what makes the lungs βleaven bread.β While breathing out, the lungs become like unleavened or flatbread.
Breathing in, or inhalation, is the bread of life because it contains the most vital element of life, called oxygen, which was personified as Jesus Christ.
Then Jesus declared, βI am the bread of life.β Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty. (John 6:35 NIV)
This is the bread that came down from heaven, not like the bread the fathers ate, and died. Whoever feeds on this bread will live forever. John 6:58.
Whoever comes to me is not referring to you as an individual. It is referring to the deoxygenated blood that comes into the lungs for oxygenation or to receive new life from oxygen or Jesus Christ, the giver of life.
Breathing out, or exhalation, is the βbread of deathβ because it contains carbon dioxide, or βthe devil,β which is an element that your body doesnβt need.
For in the case of many who had unclean spirits, they were coming out of them shouting with a loud voice; and many who had been paralyzed and lame were healed. Acts 8:7
When you breathe out, oxygen is released from red blood cells or people, and they receive new life from oxygen or Christ when you breathe in or inhale.
Both leavened and unleavened bread are experienced during the feast of the Passover.
Passover is the exchange of gases either in the systemic or pulmonary circulation.
In pulmonary circulation, when you exhale, deoxygenated blood in the pulmonary arteries releases carbon dioxide into the blood, and when you inhale, oxygen or new life from Christ enters the blood.
Because the pulmonary capillaries and the alveoli share the same membrane, gases can freely move from the alveoli to the capillaries and from the capillaries to the alveoli.
