BURNT  XALA  BREAD

            You probably thought I had walked away from the Xala Bread.  But, no, for some time now, my mind has been fascinated about a custom that was once used in making Xala Bread.  I read it on the Internet but thought I had lost it when my computer crashed.  However, I found something that Melvyn sent to me and it explains it to a degree.
          From what I remember, they would bake a small piece of dough…actually burn it.  Then they (I thought) would place it in the rest of the dough before baking the loaf.  (Feel free to correct me here.)
          Once the loaf was baked, they would remove the burnt piece and throw it away.  Surely this was symbolic of something.  What does it make you think?

SEARCH  THE  SCRIPTURES
Walk-Abouts
(John 5:39 and Acts 17:11)

MY  CONCLUSION  FOR  TODAY
After walk-about Hebrews 13:11-12

[I must stop and laugh a minute at myself.  While investigating xala bread more, it appears from this Fresh Xala Bread I am baking…that when Jews and Gentile Christians come together, they can create a dish that is out of this world in its’ uniqueness.  A little bit of the Old (O.T.) combined with the New (N.T.).]

THE  UNIQUE  DISH
(Hebrews 13:11-12)
         
          After my walk-about, my present conclusion is that that little dot and small piece of burnt bread has to represent sin.  And even Christ as He went without the Gate.  (Hebrews 13:12).
          As our dear Holy Spirit walked me to Hebrews 13:12, I looked at the verse before it…verse 11, and I personally sense that this is the TOTAL meaning of the Lesson of the Burnt Bread.
          “Xala” having the sound of “Holy” (for me), see what you think about these two verses.
          “…the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned without the camp.
          “Wherefore Jesus also, that HE might sanctify the people with His own Blood, suffered without the Gate.”

ON  WALKING

          Once you start walking on this search today, you may find it hard to stop.  There are many, many, lessons and confirmations to be seen in God’s Word…about this little piece of:

BURNT  BREAD
XALA

          While looking at my vocabulary of Hebrew Words and letters, I began to notice the letter “shin” which you will see in my final drawing.  It has a small dot to the right of it.  The next letter is just like it except it has a dot to the left of the letter which gives it the English sound of “sin”.  At this moment I cannot type my Hebrew letters but hope to get them back soon.

DRAW  US  A  PICTURE,  LORD
OF  “SIN” AND  “SHIN”
Where is the black (burned) dot?
