God gave the Hebrews a number of laws telling them how to live. |

| Some of these laws told Israel what to eat and what not to eat (dietary laws). | Notes

|
|
| These laws were to be used as a script for a play. | Notes

|
| They would act out the play, and the audience, everyone else, would learn from it. | Notes

The play is written in symbols and riddle. |

The script only told them that they were not good and only God was good. |

|
For us in the audience, the dietary law says nothing about what we can eat. |
Notes
|
Art
|
|
| Instead, eating is a symbol for learning what God says. It tells us who we should learn from, and who we should not learn from. | Notes

|
|
| Each of these animals is a symbol for a different type of teacher. Unlocking the riddle of the dietary laws leads to understanding what the kinds of teachers the animals represent. | Notes
|
Art
|
|
| Since the scriptures all speak of Christ, the animals all represent Christ. Some represent him as the good teacher. Others represent him bearing the sins of the bad teacher. | Notes
