In the Parable of the Leaven, found in Matthew 13:33, Jesus likens the Kingdom of God to something hidden, where a woman hides leaven in three measures of meal, causing the leaven to spread throughout. This imagery of three measures first appears in Genesis 18:6 during the meeting of Abraham, Sarah, and the Lord, when He foretold the birth of Isaac. Over time, the covenantal relationship between God and Abraham's descendants degraded, and by the time of Christ's ministry, their accord had become completely debased. The symbolism of leaven in the parable represents false beliefs that lead people astray from God, creating an environment hospitable to demons within the nation, as seen in the spiritual decline from Abraham's faithful beginning.
