From the 16th chapter of Exodus and Psalm 78, Gideon Levytam points to the tenth prophecy in the Hebrew Scriptures concerning the promise of the coming Messiah. On their way to the promised land of Canaan, the people of Israel murmured as they journeyed in the wilderness, longing for the bread and flesh pots of Egypt. The LORD graciously rained down bread from heaven, which the people named Manna - הַמָן. Exodus 16:4, this bread is also called angel’s food in Psalm 78:24-25. Although the children of Israel ate the manna and satisfied their hunger, yet, in the way of all men, they still died physically. God was conveying a spiritual message to His people, that He would send down from heaven the Messiah, the living bread, who would provide eternal life to those willing to trust in Him. The Manna symbolizes the person of Yeshua, Jesus the Messiah, He is the living bread - לֶחֶם הַחַיִּים, John 6:51. While walking by the Sea of Galilee, Yeshua, Jesus said of Himself saying, I am the bread of life, he that cometh to me shall never hunger, your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead. I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live forever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh. John 6:35, 49, 51.
