Exodus- "The Way Out"

Manna

I want to look at 1 Corinthians the first chapter as we continue our study on the book of Exodus.  Once again we're going to share with you the purpose for which we are studying this book and applying it to us today.

11Now all these things happened to them as examples, and they were written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages have come.

Now the "them" in this verse  are the children of Israel as they wandered through the wilderness.  We believe that we are the people upon whom the ends of the ages have come.   Very simply, that says there is a people who will do and flow through the principles of what the children of Israel experienced and will enter into the promise land at the end of this age.

He is speaking there at the beginning of this age that is about to end in our day.  As a result of that we can safely say, prophetically speaking, there is generation that will enter into the Promise-Land experience.

I want us to look at the first part of this as we enter into our study. We are going to talk about the Manna today.

1 Cor. 10: 1Moreover, brethren, I do not want you to be unaware that all our fathers were under the cloud, all passed through the sea, 2all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea, 3all ate the same spiritual food,

That word "food" is "meat" and that is what we're going to talk about.

We are going to look at several avenues today. If you will hook up to  the things of the Spirit and get your spiritual antennas out, we're going to say some things that can only be grasped in the Spirit.

Exodus 16: 1 And they journeyed from Elim, and all the congregation of the children of Israel came to the Wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after they departed from the land of Egypt. 2Then the whole congregation of the children of Israel complained against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness. 3And the children of Israel said to them, "Oh, that we had died by the hand of the Lord in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the pots of meat and when we ate bread to the full! For you have brought us out into this wilderness to kill this whole assembly with hunger."
4Then the Lord said to Moses, "Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you.

Here we get to the point where the children had left Elim. You will remember was a place that had 12 wells. They went from Marah to Elim in the 15th chapter. Marah is the place of bitterness. And the principle there is, that if you can learn to place the Tree, or what happened at the Cross, into your bitter waters, then the next thing that you can look forward to is 12 wells of pure living water.

These 12 wells speak to us of those 12 points of the 3 days and 3 nights of the redemptive work of Christ.

Do you see in verse 1 where it says, 1And they journeyed from Elim, and all the congregation of the children of Israel came to the Wilderness of Sin,

They went from Elim to Sin, the wilderness.  But they didn't just go straight there. In Numbers 33 we find a very important aspect in what happened to the children of Israel, because Numbers 33 gives us a list of all of the stopping-over places of the children of Israel.

1These are the journeys of the children of Israel, who went out of the land of Egypt by their armies under the hand of Moses and Aaron.

10They moved from Elim and camped by the Red Sea.
11They moved from the Red Sea and camped in the Wilderness of Sin.

Do you see  something different there?  From Elim they went to the wilderness of Sin. But they did not go straight there.  In Numbers 33 we find they went somewhere in between that.   Where did they go?  It's amazing, they went back to the Red Sea!  That's what the Word says.

How long did it take them to get from the Red Sea to Marah?  Do you remember?  It took them 3 days. How long do  you think it took them to go from Elim back to Marah?   Most likely 3 days.  Now what is the principle there?  Here is something we need to realize.  We don't have any record in the Bible what they did at the Red Sea this time.   It's a mystery.  The Bible doesn't tell us why, but the did go there. Do you think they were lost? No.  Everywhere they went they were following the Cloud of the Glory of God.  They were not lost.  They went to Marah and to Elim and then they went back to the Red Sea where they began and where they saw Pharaoh and his armies die. That doesn't make any sense.

They went back a second time to the Red Sea.  Say it this way, God led them to a second look at the first leaving of Egypt. Are you hearing something familiar?  There wilderness wanderings led them to another crossing of Jordan. Jordan is another look at the crossing of the Red Sea. It's a different look, but it actually pictures the same experience.   But it's something different that can be seen in that same experience.
You will start at the Cross, and you will end at the Cross. The Cross is the beginning for the believer but it is also the place of maturity for the believer.

The Cross is the place of death, but it is at the place of death, that life is released.  So it is not unimportant that after the twelve wells that you are led right back to the Red Sea. Its the same story being told over and over again to get you to get the point.

You are going back to the beginning. You say, "That's the starting place."  Yes it is, but there is this something that needs to be seen again.

The cloud is going back in our life to the beginning.

Remember when Abraham got in trouble, God told him to go back to Bethel. The place of Salvation. People want to go forward, and forward with God is back to the Cross.   Can I say it this way?  --  "back to the future".

Our future is in the Cross.  So before the children of Israel went to the wilderness of Sin, they went to the Red Sea and stood there and looked. The Bible doesn't tell us why because it is a mystery. Anything that the Scripture doesn't tell us is a mystery. The whole book is a mystery, and the whole book is a unveiling of a second look at your Red Sea experience. There is something we didn't see the first time. The first time we saw Jesus dying for us.  The second time we see Jesus as us!  And in turn you will have your own personal experiential death in Him.

Now let me tell you something important while we're here.  Numbers 33 tells us of the stopping places of the children of Israel.   Does anybody know how many places they stopped?  They stopped 42 times.  Can you think of where 42 might fit?  Open your Bibles to Matthew chapter 1.

How many times did they stop in order to get to the Promise Land?  42 times.  Notice this interesting chronological list of people. Verse 17 says after it list all of these people,

17So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations, from David until the captivity in Babylon are fourteen generations, and from the captivity in Babylon until the Christ are fourteen generations.

Now let me asking something.  Fourteen plus fourteen plus fourteen equals what?  Forty two.  Isn't it amazing Abraham was the beginning of this list?  Abraham was the one who was told to leave the Ur of the Chaldeas and  go into the Promise Land.  If you will count those people, those generations there, you will only get 41.  If you count from Abraham to David, you will find 14 listed. If you count from David to Babylon there are 14 listed.  But from Babylon to Christ including Christ there is only 41.  Now let me ask you, who is the 42nd generation?  We are, the Church.  There are no mistakes in the Word of God.

Christ is both head and body.  And there are only 13 mentioned there. The missing generation is from Babylon to Christ. Why?  It is because Christ is both head and body and He is going to duplicate Himself and that duplication gets up into the Promise Land.

We are the 42nd generation. The Body of Christ.

Now turn with me to Galations and we will look at that.

Galations 3: 29 And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

We are Abraham's seed, we are the Body of Christ and we are that seed of Abraham that will partake of the Spiritual implications of that natural promise-land.

Look at Psalm 22, this has tremendous implication to the Manna, because the Manna is the spiritual meat.  Psalm  78 says it's meat to the fool.

Psalm 22 is a messianic Psalm. Notice how it starts

1 My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?

That's the Cross -- that's the beginning of the three days. Well, what's the end of the three days?

Verse 27 All the ends of the world
Shall remember and turn to the Lord,

Do you believe that?   People, when you talk about a great move of God coming, it doesn't do justice to what is actually  coming.

 What does Egypt picture?  It pictures the world system. God has redemption for the World.  The Bible says God will make a way out of Egypt. God plans to move mightily in the world and save people. The nations will come to the Lord.

What does the wilderness picture?  It pictures Babylon. Now notice God has a plan to bring the world to Christ. But what God is going to destroy Babylon off the face of the earth. Babylon speaks of religious tradition.  He has a plan to bring the world to Christ, but He is not going to change Babylon, He is going to destroy it.

The first place He want's to destroy it is in the believer. That's what the manna is all about.

Now look at verse 28

For the kingdom is the Lord's,
And He rules over the nations.
29 All the prosperous of the earth
Shall eat and worship;

Now that's talking about being prosperous or being fat on the feast of Tabernacle.

All those who go down to the dust
Shall bow before Him,

You can do two things, you can get fat on Him or you can go down in the dust and you will be bowing before Him.

Then it says, Even he who cannot keep himself alive.

Neither the one who eats, nor the one who dies can keep himself alive.  You can't keep alive one's soul, so you might as well let your death be His death.

Here is where we're going,

verse 30 A posterity (seed) shall serve Him.
It will be recounted of the Lord to the next generation,

That's the 42nd generation!  That generation is not listed in Matthew 1, and it is the generation calledd the seed.

Verse 31 They will come and declare His righteousness to a people who will be born,
That He has done this.

That is the great ingathering at the end of this age.  They shall declare that He has done this. Good News!  When we get over to a couple of chapters from now, we will be talking about the perfect servant, the one who had his ear attached to the door. The door is Christ, the perfect servant it the one who has his ear attached.  We will see that one of the greatest things that is about to happen is that we will minister to backslidden Christians.

Scripturally speaking, one of the greatest things taking place is those the return of people who once were strong in the Lord. They are going to be brought back into the fold by the manifestation of the Glory of God in the Church.

The last place that the Ark of the Covenant was before it went into David's Tabernacle was in the house of Obed-Edom.
Obed-Edom was blessed.  The name Obededom includes the name Edom.  This is very significant.  Edom came from Esau, the flesh. What does Obed mean? Obed was the child's name of Ruth.  It means servant. So the last place the Ark of the Covenant was before the Glory fill's the temple is in Obed-Edom's house, or in the house of the servant of Esau -- the people's place.  Hear this now. The glory comes into a people who will serve those who are walking in the flesh.  They will bring the Glory of God first of all to the believers who are fleshly.

And then after that being in Obed-Edom's house, which is a picture of carnal churches, the place the Glory of the Lord comes.

Who are we to serve?  We are to serve God, first of all, by ministering the Glory of God to our brothers. Take portions to whom nothing is prepared.

We are to share the Glory of God, we are to witness what God is saying to us.  People can hear and you are doing that by sharing the tapes, and sharing what you are learning and hearing from the Spirit.  You are taking the Message to people in dry places and, yes, some are in dry places even though they are sitting in a Church.   People can and are hearing.

Now notice this here,

A posterity shall serve Him.
It will be recounted of the Lord to the next generation,

Yes we've gotten on a Rabbit trail, but this is a good trail and it will hunt!

We can see that there is going to be a lot of stops on our journey, but there was 42 places they stopped, and the 42nd place they stopped was right before the Jericho experience. Read Numbers 33.  Then we get over there and we have 42 generations, but the 41st generation is Christ the head.  The 42nd generation is this people called Christ the body.

Turn to Jeremiah 15, lets get into the Manna, there is an awesome revelation here. There isn't any thing that is unimportant in our study of the journey of the children of Israel.

In Jeremiah chapter 15 we can see what the Manna really spoke about and we're going to start on a low level and work our way up to the third dimension.

Jeremiah 15: 16 Your words were found, and I ate them,
And Your word was to me the joy and rejoicing of my heart;
For I am called by Your name,
O Lord God of hosts.

Every morning the children of Israel got up and they found this Manna outside their tent.  It wasn't in the wilderness.  They didn't have to hunt it down.  It was just all around them.  Jeremiah say's, "I found your Word and I ate it."  That pictures what this Manna was like.

Manna is a picture of God's word. It was so close to them, they either had to gather it up or trample it under.  That's what's happening to us. The Word of God is coming so open to us, you will either gather it or trample it under foot. We're going to have to do something with the Word of God.

Now turn with me to John's Gospel, chapter 6.

When we say manna pictures the Word of God, what does the Word of God really picture?  We hear a lot of things preached from the Word of God, but what is the Word of God all about?  It is the story of Jesus Christ and the growing up of His Body.  Can you say amen to that?

In John, the sixth Chapter, we read about the Bread of Life -- the Word of God. Jesus takes five barley loaves.  Barley is the first-fruits bread.  The barley came up before the wheat.  These five barley loaves were broken. They were fed to a company of 5,000 who where place in companies of 50.  That would be a hundred groups of fifty. This is the same same dimension of the tabernacle of Moses in cubits. Fifty by one hundred.  Barley loaves were the firstfruits five-fold ministry.  There were five of them.  Apostles, Prophets, Evangelist, Pastors and Teachers.

Then these five loaves were broken, and were given to this company of people.  How many baskets were left over?  Twelve baskets left over.  There's the principle again of the death, burial and resurrection.  It's interesting to note that the Bible says where Jesus got these five loaves.  From a young lad, not a full grown man. He got them from a boy that would one day be a man. That is where the Church is -- we're growing up.

Verse 12 says, when they were filled, "Gather up the fragments that remain, so that nothing is lost."

Nothing be lost!

Then we go to verse

26Jesus answered them and said, "Most assuredly, I say to you, you seek Me, not because you saw the signs, but because you ate of the loaves and were filled. 27"Do not labor for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to everlasting life, which the Son of Man will give you, because God the God has set His seal on Him."

This is the cry of the world.   Jesus said, "The works that I do, shall they do also, and greater."  This is how you do the works of God,

28Then they said to Him, "What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?" 29Jesus answered and said to them, "This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent."

The greatest miracle you can do is believe on Him. That's the work of God.

Verse 31"Our fathers ate the manna in the desert; as it is written, 'He gave them bread from heaven to eat.' " 32Then Jesus said to them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, Moses did not give you the bread from heaven, but My God gives you the true bread from heaven. 33"For the bread of God is He who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world."

It's He.  That manna was a picture of a He. He said, "Right here, in your midst, is the bread.  I am the 'He' that came  down."
 
Now look over with me to verse

51"I am the living bread which came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread that I shall give is My flesh, which I shall give for the life of the world."
52The Jews therefore quarreled among themselves, saying, "How can this Man give us His flesh to eat?"
53Then Jesus said to them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you.

Verse 58"This is the bread which came down from heaven-not as your fathers ate the manna, and are dead. He who eats this bread will live forever."

He said, "I am the Manna," then He got it down a little bit more specific and said, "This is what you need to eat -- my flesh and my blood."  The sacrificial death of Jesus is the Manna from heaven.

He said, "Unless you eat my flesh and drink my blood you don't have any life in you."

They thought He was speaking of natural things but He was speaking of spiritual things. And the heavenly Manna that will take a people into the Promise Land is the experience of spiritually discerning the body and the blood of Jesus -- the death of Christ.

They all walked away.  Many are walking away today from that same message.   There walking away from it, offended. After they walked away, Jesus said, "The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life."

They are Spirit!

Now go back over to 1 Corinthians 11.  We started this series at 1 Corinthians 10.  Now look at 11.

This hooks right up with what Paul said of the children of Israel,

verse 23For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you: that the Lord Jesus on the same night in which He was betrayed took bread;
24and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, "Take, eat; this is My body which is broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me."
25In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me."
26For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death till He comes.

Can you see that the manna the children of Israel ate in the wilderness pictures the body and the blood of Jesus?   It pictures Christ's death.  Can you hear that?  We're feeding on that death constantly -- that is the manna. That is the manna that you and I need.  Your flesh doesn't like it.   The manna is His death!

Numbers 11 said the manna had to be crushed and baked before eaten.   That's the experience of receiving revelation.

In Genesis 14, Abraham, the father of us all, met a guy by the name of Melchizedek who pictures the last-day Priesthood that the book of Hebrews speaks about.  What does that Priesthood give?  He gives bread and wine. What restores Abraham, this old man, who doesn't have that promised son yet? He hasn't been given birth to yet.  But what restores him?  He doesn't get anywhere until he receives bread and wine which speaks of the death of Jesus.

How is Abraham going to have a 42nd generation?  The Bible says Jesus has paid the price.  And we feed on that price that he's paid and we grow up into Him. This isn't lightweight stuff. This is the message of eternity!  Manna.

Exodus 16:10  Now it came to pass, as Aaron spoke to the whole congregation of the children of Israel, that they looked toward the wilderness, and behold, the glory of the Lord appeared in the cloud.

This manna is associated with God's glory. The glory of the Lord brought this manifestation.

Look at Psalms 78: 25 Men ate angels' (manna) food;
He sent them food to the full.

What was this heavenly bread? It was meat that filled up the people.  It brought them to fullness. It's called meat to the full.  Do you ever wonder if preaching the death of Jesus is really going to get the job done?  Places like this tell you, "Yes it is!  It's meet to the full!"
 
Everybody is not excited about it yet, I know. You tell it to people and they look at you with a blank look on their faces.  Well, look at Numbers 11, let me show you a neat principle.  Numbers 11 is the story of the manna in the book of Numbers.

Verse 4Now the mixed multitude who were among them yielded to intense craving;

Now, there were some people who came of Egypt who were still Egyptians. They had Egyptian hearts. I wonder if there are any in the Church today who are still Egyptians?  In Matthew 13, Jesus called them tares.

Now notice it said,

4Now the mixed multitude who were among them yielded to intense craving; so the children of Israel also wept again and said: "Who will give us meat to eat?
5"We remember the fish which we ate freely in Egypt, the cucumbers, the melons, the leeks, the onions, and the garlic;
6"but now our whole being is dried up; there is nothing at all except this manna before our eyes!"

Who gets tired of eating manna?  Those who have Egyptian hearts and those who are touched by the Egyptian hearts.  There was a mixed multitude who said, "We loathe this manna.  We are tired of eating the same things for forty years.  Manna-burgers, manna-fries, manna-shakes, manna-splits, manna-pies."
 
Isn't it amazing! Look at what they remembered eating.  Count these things.  They remembered the fish, cucumbers, melons, leaks, onions, garlic.  Six is the number of what? Man's food -- six things.  They don't want the death of Christ.

Look in Deut. 8.  Do you want to know what Promise-Land food is?

Count them, 4Now the mixed multitude who were among them yielded to intense craving; so the children of Israel also wept again and said: "Who will give us meat to eat?

5"We remember the fish which we ate freely in Egypt, the cucumbers, the melons, the leeks, the onions, and the garlic;
6"but now our whole being is dried up; there is nothing at all except this manna before our eyes!"

The Promise Land has seven kinds of food in it. But we're on our way there, and what do we eat in the wilderness?  We eat Manna.

They had forty years of Manna until the old generation passed away.  We must eat Manna unto the old man leaves.

None of the old generation ever went in.  They died.  They ate that manna and died, and then a new bunch was able to gop on over in there.

The manna ceased in Joshua 5.  When they got over there they then fed off the corn of the Promise Land.

Numbers 11 verse 8 says, The people went about and gathered it, ground it on millstone

I want to show you what happens to Babylon. Remember what the wilderness experience pictures?  Its coming out of confusion, or out of Babylon.  What destroys Babylon?

In Rev. 18 verse 21Then a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and threw it into the sea, saying, "Thus with violence the great city Babylon shall be thrown down, and shall not be found anymore.

How is Babylon going to be thrown down?  An angel comes and puts a millstone in the sea. The Sea speaks of humanity.
He puts a millstone into the sea. Now what do they do with the manna?  They put it in a mill, and ground it up.  And since Manna speaks of the death of Jesus, you can see what God is doing at the end of this age. Even in our own midst, there has been a millstone placed where we can take the death of Christ and grind it up so that we can eat it.  Make it palatable.  What is it doing?  It is destroying the Babylon in us.

Numbers 11: 8The people went about and gathered it, ground it on millstones or beat it in the mortar, cooked it in pans, and made cakes of it; and its taste was like the taste of pastry prepared with oil.

Fresh oil, there's the anointing you are tasting.  We are eating of something that is anointed with the oil of the Holy Spirit.

Exodus 16 and we will wind this up.

Verse 32Then Moses said, "This is the thing which the Lord has commanded: 'Fill an omer with it, to be kept for your generations,

Now, how much is an omer?

Verse 16"This is the thing which the Lord has commanded: 'Let every man gather it according to each one's need, one omer for each person,

Now, listen to this in the Spirit. A omer was the provision for one man. It's one man's provision.  They took one man's provision.  Ephesians 4 says, "We're being brought into one man."  Jesus is the head, and Jesus is the body, but it's only one body. We are being gathered unto one man and the one man's food is this omer. The provision for only one man.

"Fill an omer with it, to be kept for your generations, that they may see the bread with which I fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you out of the land of Egypt.' " 33And Moses said to Aaron, "Take a pot and put an omer of manna in it,

The pot in Hebrews 9:4 is said to be a golden pot.  Of what is gold a type? Divine nature.

and lay it up before the Lord, to be kept for your generations."
34  As the Lord commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the Testimony, to be kept.
35  And the children of Israel ate manna forty years, until they came to an inhabited land; they ate manna until they came to the border of the land of Canaan.

We're going to eat manna in this house until we come to the Promise-Land.  Wwill get to what else the other means, but right now we will just eat the manna until we come to the Land.

Here is what happened.  Moses told Aaron the commandment of the Lord was to put one man's portion in a golden pot. What happened to that golden pot?  That golden pot of manna was placed into the Ark of the Covenant. Hebrews 9:4 tells us that.  It went into Moses' Tabernacle. When the Ark was taken from Shiloh, it eventually ended up in David's Tabernacle. After it was taken out of David's Tabernacle, it ended up in Solomon's Temple. In 1 Kings chapter 8, Solomon's temple was dedicated. Moses' Tabernacle in the wilderness speaks of the old covenant, David's Tabernacle speaks of the completion of the New Covenant, for Acts 15 reads the Tabernacle of David speaks of the Church, and the Glory of God coming.

When the Church age is over what do we have?  The Kingdom age coming. It pictures that which begins when the Church age gets to the fullness.

Moses' Tabernacle pictures Jesus.  David's Tabernacle pictures the Church.  The Temple of Solomon pictures the Kingdom age.

Now, the golden pot of manna was inside of David's Tabernacle, but when it gets to Solomon's Temple, this golden pot of manna is gone!

1 Kings 8: 9Nothing was in the ark except the two tablets of stone which Moses put there at Horeb, when the Lord made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt.

By the time we get to the end of the Church age, or the beginning of the Kingdom age, there is no golden pot of manna. The manna is not there. I wonder what happens to it.

Rev. 2:17

I do not know how much of the manna you and I have fed upon yet, but I believe we have fed upon some of that available manna. We have been eating it.

17"He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give some of the hidden manna to eat. And I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written which no one knows except him who receives it." '

This hidden manna portrayed in the sixteenth chapter is no longer there by the time the Church age is finished.

Exodus 16: 5"And it shall be on the sixth day that they shall prepare what they bring in, and it shall be twice as much as they gather daily."

The sixth day provision was twice as much provision as all the rest.  Of what does that speak to you?  What makes the Church grow up?  It's that double portion of manna.

When we eat the manna it's twice as much as we thought it was.   It is not only the death of Jesus, but it also pictures our deaths.  It's two times more on the sixth day. And that's what brings a people to perfection. There's twice as much on the sixth day. If you were looking over the top of Moses' Tabernacle, what shape was the furniture in?  A cross.   Brazen altar, brazen laver, golden candle stick, golden table of show bread, golden altar and ark of the covenant mercy seat.  Those seven pieces were in the shape of the cross. The Ark of the Covenant was in the Most Holy Place and if you were looking at the cross it would be the head of the body.  How big was the Most Holy Place in Moses' Tabernacle?  10x10x10.  Look at the Most Holy Place in Solomon's Temple.

, verse 8 of 2, Chronicles 3

2Chr 3:8  And he made the most holy house, the length whereof was according to the breadth of the house, twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof twenty cubits: and he overlaid it with fine gold, amounting to six hundred talents.

Exodus 16:5"And it shall be on the sixth day that they shall prepare what they bring in, and it shall be twice as much as they gather daily."

Moses' Tabernacle, which pictures Christ, was 10x10x10. Solomon's Tabernacle was exactly twice as large. How many of you can see where we are going?  The double portion speaks of the Most Holy Place where the Glory of God was.  It speaks of a people who have grown up into the head. It's twice as big in Solomon's Temple. It's a cube but it's twice as big. Why?  Because the Head duplicates Himself. That's what's going on.  We're growing up into to Him into all things.  That's what Ephesians 4:13 says.

The Temple of Solomon has a Most Holy Place twice as big.

In Rev. 21 & 22 the cube is a huge, huge thing. We have these pictures to understand by the Spirit what's going on so we can say "this is that".

So there is twice as much at the end of the sixth day to get us to the head.

In Exodus 16: 25  Then Moses said, "Eat that today, for today is a Sabbath to the Lord; today you will not find it in the field. 26"Six days you shall gather it, but on the seventh day, which is the Sabbath, there will be none." 27Now it happened that some of the people went out on the seventh day to gather, but they found none.

Now what's the principle?  This is a sad story. God said there won't be any Manna out there on the seventh day. There will be twice as much on the sixth day, which we're in now.  But none on the seventh day. And when the seventh day arrived, some went out to look for manna and there was none.  What's the idea?  Don't wait until the sixth day is over! When the seventh day comes there is none out there.

That sounds a whole lot like Exodus 12 where it says, "Eat it all, and don't let anything remain until the morning."  Just eat it all, but it won't be out there on the seventh day. That's what that principle is.
