Manna and Kingship

|
| Moses and the Messiah both provided manna. | |
| Will you explain why most Christians don't know about this correlation? | |
| Yeah, and it ties into Shabbat, right? | |
| Because as we saw in the clip, on the Sabbath, it's traditional to have two loaves of bread on Friday night to bless. | |
| And it's a reminder that God gave a double portion of manna on Fridays in the wilderness so that we didn't have to collect it and work on the Sabbath, right? | |
| But we could focus on connecting to the Lord and connecting with our friends and our family, right? | |
| Because at the heart of creation and Sabbath is connection. | |
| And so it's a reminder of that double portion of manna. | |
| So there's an interesting Jewish tradition that says, just like the first Redeemer, Moses, gave manna in the wilderness, so will the second Redeemer, the Messiah, give manna as well, give bread as well. | |
| And that's part of the background when Jesus comes, John chapter 6, right? | |
| Well, he multiplies the bread and the fish, and then he says, I am the bread of life. | |
| He who eats of me will never hunger again. | |
| Him multiplying the bread, him calling himself the bread of life. | |
| He's saying, I am the greater than Moses. | |
| I am the promised Messiah, and I've come to bring the bread that leads to eternal life if you partake of me by faith. | |
| But there's something also really interesting because as we saw in the clip, Hebrew's alphanumeric. | |
| You write letters with numbers. | |
| So there's no numbers in the Bible. | |
| If you look at chapter verses in the Bible, it's all written with Hebrew letters. | |
| So every word has a numerical value. | |
| The numerical value of the Hebrew word for manna is 90. | |
| Okay? | |
| And the Hebrew value of the word king equals 90. | |
| So manna and king have the same value in Hebrew because Jesus doing the miracle of the bread is meant to point to him as the king of Israel and the king of the world. | |
| That's a boy. | |
| Look at that, Macy. | |
| What happens when we don't observe Shabbat? | |
| Is there a. | |
| Yeah, I mean, I think that when we don't observe Shabbat, right, we end up in Egypt, right? | |
| If you can't take a day off to rest and honor the Lord, you are a slave in Egypt. | |

| Boy, that's good. | |
| God woven into creation this need to rest and connect. | |
| I don't want to go to Egypt. | |
| Some of us have been there a while. | |
| Okay. | |
| Get in, do Shabbat. | |
| Yes. | |
