6.2 Unleavened Bread

Of late, many Christians have come under an influential teaching which persuades us to return to “our Hebrew roots”. In other words, the teaching is that we need to return to the “true” Mosaic Law received from God, according to this movement's interpretation of the Law. This teaching is based on how Jesus fulfilled many of the Jewish feasts, through His death and resurrection. For instance, according to this belief, Jesus would have entered Jerusalem on the 10th of the first month called Abib, also known as Nisan, according to the Jewish calendar. Christ would then have been crucified on the 14th, which was when the Passover lamb was killed, and be raised the first day after the Sabbath, symbolising the first-fruit offering. According to them, all this would have happened in a period of 72 hours, or three complete days and three complete nights, correlating with the time that Jonas was in the belly of the great fish.
