It is the tradition of cleaning the house completely either
before or during the spring. Why do we
do this? I have often wondered why in
the past? I know I feel like this must
get done. Why?
While listening to the Benjamin Howling show on Prove All
Things radio, I found out this goes back to the Hebrew tradition of preparing
for Passover and the Feast of Unleavened bread.
Prior to these Holy Feast Days, Our Father had commanded that all leaven or
yeast must be removed from the house.
This would include crumbs in the couch cushions and anywhere else.
So we remember the tradition of Spring Cleaning, we just
forgot why we do this.
About the Christian Feast of Unleavened Breads…
Exodus 12:15-20 "Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread.
On the first day you shall remove leaven
out of your houses, for if anyone eats what is leavened, from the first day
until the seventh day, that person shall be cut off from Israel. On the
first day you shall hold a holy assembly, and on the seventh day a holy
assembly. No work shall be done on those days. But what everyone needs to eat,
that alone may be prepared by you. And you shall observe the Feast of
Unleavened Bread, for on this very day I brought your hosts out of the land of
Egypt. Therefore you shall observe this
day, throughout your generations, as a statute forever. In the first month, from the fourteenth day
of the month at evening, you shall eat unleavened bread until the twenty-
first day of the month at evening. For seven days no leaven is to be found
in your houses. If anyone eats what is leavened, that person will be cut off
from the congregation of Israel, whether he is a sojourner or a native of the
land. You shall eat nothing leavened; in all your dwelling places you shall
eat unleavened bread."
The Prophet Jeremiah stated that the law would be written in
our hearts. Our Father must have written in
our hearts to prepare for the Feast of Unleavened Bread:
Jeremiah 31:33 "For this is the
covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares
the Lord: I will put my law within them,
and I will write it on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they
shall be my people."
