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
