Fermentation is a Symbol of Sin especially in wine where “Leaven” or yeast, is used to make the wine ferment.

Yeast is also the leaven in bread that causes bread to rise.

Since Wine and Bread are both symbols of the body of Christ, neither can be made with leaven or yeast which is a symbol for sin, since that would destroy the symbols of communion and Passover.

The Greek word “Zume” (Strong’s G2219) is the word used for Leaven which also means “fermenting matter”

Bible Symbols are one of the most wonderful and least understood things God has planted in the Bible for teaching us who He is and His ways. Bible Symbols are Gems that need to be mined through deep study of the Bible.

The intention of this website is to teach this type of Bible study to allow the word of God to shine light on the minds of all His people. My hope and prayer is that you will find what is here not only interesting but a revelation and spiritually enabling.
