The Pharises saw Jesus and said, "Who is He?"
> Well, it came from heaven. / Jesus came from heaven.
> It was needed to survive in the dessert / We need Jesus to survive in the dessert of life.
> It was described as "the bread of heaven" / Jesus is our bread of life.
Jn 6:32
> Eat of manna and die / eat of the bread of life (Jesus) and live forever
Jn 6:58
> The Hebrew people complained about (rejected) the manna that God had provided. / The Jewish people rejected Jesus.
It is described in the Bible as being wafer thin, in flakes like snow and tasting like coriander with honey.
The Hebrews were told not to save it over night, it would rot.
Psalm 78:24-25: “[24] And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them of the corn of heaven. [25] Man did eat angels’ food: he sent them meat to the full.” “Manna,” “the corn of heaven,” “angels’ food,”

| What manna must have look like. |
First mention of manna is in Ex 16:4 (4th verse). The number 4 represents the earth. What came from the earth? Man was made from the earth. This bread (what is it/who is he) was made for man. Heaven's bread was made for man to survive the wilderness (stress/Egypt).
Ex 16: 25 shows manna being used to establish the Sabbath BEFORE the Ten Commandments were given.
It was one of three items, representing the rebellion of man, that was put into the Ark of the Covenant and - it did not rot, in the ark.
The manna was used to test the Hebrews in the dessert. Jesus was used to test the Jewish people to see if they would follow Him. Deut. 8:16
Amen
