The Middle Matzah; First of all, let's explain to those who don't
know what matzah is; matzah is unleavened bread, this is the same type of bread that Yashua would have used on the night he kept
the Passover with the Apostles. Over the centuries the meaning and symbolism of the Passover has changed. In modern
day churches it is often confused with the unbiblical rites of easter and in many Jewish homes the person of Yashua is not
mentioned at all. As I stated earlier, over the centuries the meaning and symbolism of the middle matzah has changed
into and developed into numerous and often unbiblical traditions. In one case this matzah represented the unity of Abraham,
Isaac and Jacob. And in another the Priests, Levites and the people of Israel. As the tradition goes, we are to remove
the unbroken middle piece of unleavened bread or matzah, break it and wrap it in a white napkin and then hide it, so that
it can be found later. At this time it is now referred to as the afikomin, this is rendered as dessert in many
traditions. As the seder meal continues, we come to the portion where the children are to ask four questions. Why is
this night different than other nights, and why do we only recline this night, and why do we dip the vegetables not once but
twice, and finally why do we eat only unleavened bread. These four questions are based on the book of Exodus but are many
times mandated by the traditions of the person. The four questions are a unique way of getting the children involved. But
one question is never asked, WHY. Why do we take out the middle matzah? Not the top or the bottom, WHY do we break it, wrapping
half and hiding it away knowing that it will be returned soon. No where in Torah are we commanded to do and teach such
things, yet we do them as surely as we keep the festival itself. WHY, the why is simple, this all comes from the Passover
of Yashua. There is no account in the prophets or the writings that shows us so clearly how the events of that night should
take place. THE MIDDLE MATZAH is the perfect symbol of our Lord on the night he was betrayed. I would that every person
who reads this post would go and buy matzah. Look at the piercing in the bread, the bruising represented by the burn
marks on the bread, and it is unleavened because leaven represents sin. There was no sin in him/Yashua. As we go on in the
seder the afikomin is returned by a child or other member of the family. But the word afikomen gives away its true meaning,
for afikomen means to look forward to. And as we take part in the unleavened bread and the wine of the Passover table
making sure to apply the blood of the true spotless lamb to the door of our hearts, we look forward to that day
when we will truly rejoice at the proper time, in the new Jerusalem. B'hashem Yashua amen.
Our vision and our
mission is to reveal through the Holy word of Elohim the revelation of our Messiah Yashua in the ancient Hebrew letters. This
we will do to the glory of Elohim our heavenly Father. These mysteries are revealed by the author of The Messiah Codes,
