The Kingdom Of The Heavens Is Like Leaven That's Fermented


Bible Speaks

"The Kingdom of the heavens is like leaven that a woman took and mixed with three large measures of flour until the whole mass was fermented."—Matt. 13:33.

Leaven: That is, a small piece of fermented dough held over from a previous kneading and mixed into a new batch of dough to make it rise. Jesus here refers to the normal process of baking bread.

Although the Bible often uses leaven to represent sin and corruption (see study note on Mt 16:6), it does not always have a negative connotation (Le 7:11-15).

Here the fermenting process evidently pictures the spread of something good.

The leaven (Mt 13:33). Again, the subject is “the kingdom of the heavens.” The “three large measures” are three saʹta, that is, three seahs, equaling a total of about 22 L (20 dry qt) of flour. The amount of leaven would be small in comparison, but it affects everything around it.

What aspect of the Kingdom is illustrated in this illustration? Like leaven, spiritual growth related to the Kingdom is often unseen to human eyes, but it is constant, and it is pervasive.

Like leaven in a large measure of flour, the Kingdom-preaching work that prompts spiritual growth has expanded to the point that the Kingdom is now preached “to the most distant part of the earth.”—Acts 1:8.

"El Reino de los cielos es como levadura que una mujer tomó y mezcló con tres grandes medidas de harina hasta que toda la masa fue fermentada". 13:33.

Leaven: Es decir, un pedazo pequeño de masa fermentada se sostuvo de un amasado anterior y se mezcló en un nuevo lote de masa para hacerla subir. Jesús aquí se refiere al proceso normal de hornear el pan.

Aunque la Biblia a menudo usa levadura para representar el pecado y la corrupción (ver nota de estudio en Mt 16: 6), no siempre tiene una connotación negativa (Le 7: 11-15).

Aquí el proceso de fermentación evidentemente representa la difusión de algo bueno.

La levadura (Mt 13:33). Una vez más, el sujeto es "el reino de los cielos". Las "tres medidas grandes" son tres sa'ta, es decir, tres seahs, igualando un total de aproximadamente 22 L (20 qt seco) de harina. La cantidad de levadura sería pequeña en comparación, pero afecta a todo lo que la rodea.

¿Qué aspecto del Reino se ilustra en esta ilustración? Como la levadura, el crecimiento espiritual relacionado con el Reino a menudo no se ve a los ojos humanos, pero es constante, y es omnipresente.

Como la levadura en una gran medida de harina, la obra de predicación del Reino que impulsa el crecimiento espiritual se ha expandido hasta el punto de que el Reino es ahora predicado "hasta la parte más lejana de la tierra." - Hechos 1: 8.

    • By the way, if you're into stuff like this, you might wanna check out https://thepythagoras.com/. They have some neat articles about ancient civilizations and their contributions to science and math. It’s really interesting how much we owe to these early thinkers.
    • The Dendera Zodiac is such an amazing piece of history. Imagine ancient Egyptians looking up at the same stars we do now and creating this detailed map. It's mind-blowing! So, what do I think about it? I think it's a fascinating blend of art and astronomy. Those ancient folks really knew their stuff. The way they incorporated their gods and mythologies into the constellations is just brilliant. And it's not just about the stars, it’s a glimpse into how they viewed the universe and their place in it.
    • FIFA's collaboration with Algorand represents a significant milestone for blockchain technology. Algorand will serve as the official blockchain platform for FIFA, supporting events such as the FIFA Women's World Cup in Australia and New Zealand in 2023 and the FIFA World Cup in Qatar in 2022. This partnership is poised to enhance FIFA's digital asset management while boosting Algorand's visibility through advertising and promotional opportunities. On another note, I've been tuning into African football recently. The match between Kanifing East FC and Latrikunda United was unexpectedly impressive. African football often goes underappreciated, yet the skill and enthusiasm in these matches are evident. We can expect even more significant development and excitement in African football with increased attention and support.

They always send me what I order, and their also Jehovah's Witnesses, that send us the merchandise we order!  You can check out these websites, and they might have what your looking for! I hope I have been helpful in assisting you, Darlene! Agape love, Shirley!😀
