the table (Torah covenant covering) to eat of the crumbs (the bread is the truth of Torah). (See Psalm 22:16
how Gentiles are depicted as dogs (meaning those outside the Torah Covenant). See our Christian
Foundational Teachings series for the detail).
15:29-39 They saw the dumb to speak, the maimed to be whole, the lame to walk, and the blind to see
―(29) And Jesus departed from thence, and came nigh unto the sea of Galilee; and went up into a mountain,
and sat down there. (30) And great multitudes came unto him, having with them those that were lame, blind,
dumb, maimed, and many others, and cast them down at Jesus' feet; and he healed them: (31) Insomuch
that the multitude wondered, when they saw the dumb to speak, the maimed to be whole, the lame to
walk, and the blind to see: and they glorified the God of Israel. (32) Then Jesus called his disciples unto
him, and said, I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days, and
have nothing to eat: and I will not send them away fasting, lest they faint in the way. (33) And his disciples
say unto him, Whence should we have so much bread in the wilderness, as to fill so great a multitude? (34)
And Jesus saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven, and a few little fishes. (35)
And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground. (36) And he took the seven loaves and the
fishes, and gave thanks, and brake them, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude. (37)
And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets full.
(38) And they that did eat were four thousand men, beside women and children. (39) And he sent away the
multitude, and took ship, and came into the coasts of Magdala.‖
As mentioned earlier, these were signs of the Gospel (Jubilee) message as prophesied in the Tenach.
And they cast them down at his feet
A very strong word flung them down – not carelessly, but in haste; because so many were coming on the
same errand. It was a great day for "they glorified the Elohim of Israel."
Three days of feeding the multitudes
―Three days‖, a parenthetic nominative. In the feeding of the five thousand, Y‘shua took compassion on the
people and healed their sick (Matt 14:14). Here, the hunger of the multitude moves him to compassion. So
he is unwilling to send them away hungry.
Three days from an Eschatological point of view
Is it not remarkable that Y‘shua was with the multitudes for a period of three days? (Matt 15:32)
With the Samarian (Gentile) woman at the well, he tarried two days; and on the third day proceeded to the
Galilee (Jews) (John 4:43)
On the third day, there was a marriage (Marriage supper of the Lamb) in Cana of Galilee (John 2:1)
Y‘shua said, ―Blessed are those servants who are ready when their lord who comes in the third watch, and
finds them ready.‖ (Luke 12:38)
Why three? Prophet Hosea‘s great prophecy magnifies the truth, which gives great insight into the plan of
YHWH. It mentions both houses of Israel - the Northern Tribes of Ephraim and the southern Tribe of Judah.
(14) ―For I will be unto Ephraim (Lost ten Tribes) as a lion, and as a young lion to the house of Judah:
(Judah with Benjamin) I, even I, will tear and go away; I will take away, and none shall rescue him.
(15) I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offence, and seek my face: in their
affliction they will seek me early (note early in the third millennium). (Hos 5:14-15)
(1) ―Come, and let us return unto the LORD: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten,
and he will bind us up.
(2) After two days (after 2 000 years) will he revive us (wake them up): in the third day (early in the
3 rd millennium – our time) he will raise us up (cause the Israelites to return to Israel), and we shall live in
his sight (at the Second Coming and beyond when Y‘shua returned).
(3) Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD: his going forth is prepared as the morning
(early in the 3rd millennium); and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the
earth.‖ (Hos 6:1-3)
―After two days will he revive us‖ means ± two thousand years after Y‘shua‘s First Coming, He started to
put His plans into action for their return.
1897 - Theodore Hertzel was an Israelite with a mission to get a national homeland for the Nation of Israel in
Palestine and to assist the Israelites to return. He started the Zionist movement on 29 August 1897 in Basel,
Switzerland (Deut 30:4; Ezek 37:21; Jer 30:8, 10).
