fifty days
The feast of Pentecost, (Lev 23:15-22). The anti-type is the descent of the Holy Spirit to form the church. For this reason leaven is present, because there is evil in the church; (Mat 13:33); (Act 5:1); (Act 5:10); (Act 15:1). Observe, it is now loaves; not a sheaf of separate growths loosely bound together, but a real union of particles making one homogenous body. The descent of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost united the separated disciples into one organism. (Co1 10:16); (Co1 10:17); (Co1 12:12); (Co1 12:13); (Co1 12:20). |
