And the house of Israel called its name, Manna, and it was like the seed of coriander, white; and it taste like cakes with honey.”
(Exo 16:31) HRB

Daily Yahweh sent bread from heaven for the Israelites while they were in the desert. Without them even knowing Yahweh showed them that He will one day also give them the Bread of Life from heaven, Yahshua the Messiah.

“This is the Bread which came down out of Heaven, not as your fathers ate the manna and died; the one partaking of this Bread will live forever.” (John 6:58) HRB

Bread Symbolizes Yahweh’s Provision and Our Survival. He provided delicious, daily manna, like the physical daily bread, to sustain the Israelites as they wandered in the desert. He did this because He provided for His children, and their survival depended on it. While manna doesn’t rain down from heaven today, we still depend on the living Father to provide us with our daily bread. As He gave the Israelites bread from heaven, so did He also send Yahshua, the True Bread of Life, for us to sustain us in the Spirit, because He is the Living Bread, and our survival also depends on Him.

The Bible, also called the ‘True Bread’, breathed out by the mouth of Yahweh (2 Timothy 3:16), however, cannot nourish us if it sits on a shelf, unopened. For it to feed us spiritually, we need to spend time reading it. If you truly want to experience Yahweh’s grace and feel His presence, you have to read His Word. We must spiritually eat the living bread of Yahweh, the living Father, that He has given us. 

With Yahshua, the Bread of Life (John 6:48), in our hearts and the Living Bread (Yahweh’s Word) in our hands, we will not hunger anymore. Because the Living Word was there from the beginning, so was the Living Bread also there from the beginning. This is the Bread that will give us eternal life!

“I AM the BREAD OF LIFE. Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness and died. This is the BREAD coming down out of Heaven that anyone may eat of it and not die. I AM the Living BREAD that came down from Heaven. If anyone eats of the BREAD, he will live forever. And indeed, the bread which I will give is My flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.” (John 6:48-51) HRB

Nothing will ever fill you more than the Bread of Life. Eat as much as you can, no restrictions – the best of all; you will not gain any weight in the flesh, but you will gain so much more in the Spirit.

Let the counting of the Omer count for you too!

Shalom, Mattaniah
