Matthew 13:33 WEB He spoke another parable to them. “The Kingdom of Heaven is like yeast which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, until it was all leavened.”
As of my writing this it is currently the Feast of Unleavened Bread. During the first day of UB, we are to get all the leaven (yeast) out of our houses. We are to not eat leavened bread the whole week, but unleavened bread. In the NT, there are several instances where leaven is used as a metaphor for something to be avoided. This is where many take it to mean sin.
However, much like I am pointing out in the comic, would Yeshua equate the Kingdom of Heaven to sin? I would think not. However, if we look at the instances where leaven is used, we can come to a different conclusion:
Matthew 13:33 - as pointed out above, can't mean sin
Luke 12:1 (which gives more detail than the Matt. & Mark accounts) - the leaven of the Pharisees is hypocrisy.
Galatians 5 - Paul is talking about following the traditions of the Pharisees over following Christ, then states a little leaven leavens the whole lump.
Pulling these passages together and looking at their context, leaven is doctrine, not sin.
The doctrine of Heaven is one that is supposed to go out and get everywhere until the whole world is leavened.
We are supposed to beware the doctrine of the Pharisees as they teach but do not do (Matthew 23:1-3).
The doctrine of the Pharisees is hindering the people that follow it and does not give freedom.
There are two groupings of Feast Days with Shavuot (Pentacost) in between. The first grouping which includes Passover, Unleavened Bread, and First Fruits, focus on removing the leaven, in the view I am pointing out: doctrine. Removing the teachings that we have gotten from other places. Testing everything against what the Word says and standing by it alone. Resetting what we believe with what the Bible says.
The other group is Day of Shouting, Day of Atonement and Feast of Tabernacles. These focus on removing sin. Deep examinations of yourself to get out what you may have let slip in.
I see these two groupings as self reflection in two different ways. Both are focuses that need to happen. I see a lot of people that focus on the latter, but not a lot focusing on the former. They take on teachings/doctrine from all over and hold onto them as their own. I am not knocking listening to teachers. We all have something we can teach and we all have something we can learn, but we do need to take time to evaluate what we are buying into.

Jerusalem under fire?!?
(Please understand that this Post is not about current events in Israel.)
The ongoing attack on Israel has made me think in more detail on Rev. 20:7-9 where the nations surround the camp:
"And when the thousand years are completed, Satan will be released from his prison, 8 and will come out to deceive and mislead the nations which are in the four corners of the earth— #gog and #magog—to gather them together for the war; their number is like the sand of the seashore. 9 And they swarmed up over the broad plain of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city; but fire came down from heaven and consumed them."
I was raised to read `Jerusalem` into where it says `beloved city`, but it always bothered me that just a few chapters back in Rev. 11:8 #jerusalem is called #sodom:
"And their dead bodies will lie exposed in the open street of the great city, which in a spiritual sense is called Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified."
Have I missed something and the city has been redeemed over the previous chapters by any chance?
Why does fire came down from heaven and consumed the armies?
Also, why would such a large army be needed to attack the existing Jerusalem if even now it is only by Father's grace that the land has not been decimated with missile attacks?
The 2011 figures already showed the combined world #armies of about 12 million strong.
Or might it just be that it is the city that is spoke of a few verses later in Rev. 21:1-4 that is the target:
"Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first #heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there is no longer any sea. 2 And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, arrayed like a bride adorned for her husband; 3 and then I heard a loud voice from the throne, saying, “See! The tabernacle of God is among men, and He will live among them, and they will be His people, and God Himself will be with them 4 and He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be death; there will no longer be sorrow and anguish, or crying, or pain; for the former order of things has passed away.”
Might it be that Satan is using the arrival of the New Jerusalem as a call to arms and therefore the entire earth's armies pull together to repel the coming "invasion"?
