ELTB CC 4-5 [∞]
God wants everyone to know him, so all things created teach us something about him. [1] We don't learn from hands, feet, air and earth by looking at them, but by what God says about them; by the symbols.
These are symbols used in the play:
The flying things were created to fly or live in the air. They represent characteristics of the spirit. Our spirit is supposed to love God. The ground represents the flesh.
- air ruach רוח - spirit, air, breath
- earth, ground adamah אדמה - 'man adam אדם who doesn't understand ה'
- hand yod יד - 'creation י finished by the son ם'
- foot regel רדל - 'kill רד the teaching ל' or 'reveal ר the pursuit ג of teaching ל'
The insects in this list swarm or crawl on the earth, symbolizing people who follow the crowd and behave selfishly instead of loving God. There is an old saying, "If it is popular, there is something wrong with it." [5]
A flying thing is something intended for the air, or spirit. A crawling thing represents someone behaving selfishly or 'in the flesh'. It would appear that the the flying things that crawl should be living as though they love God but who have chosen to live and work loving themselves first.
In the play, when the hands (works) and feet (life) are in the flesh (on the ground), it is disgusting. [6] We can crawl around for fun and there is nothing wrong with it. The flying things as actors, teach that we are intended to live in the spirit, or to love God. But when they crawl on the stage, it says that people who are supposed to love God, are loving themselves.
The Hebrew word for 'creep' also means to multiply. It is worse when teachers teach their children to live loving themselves first. We should love God first and our neighbors. [7] People who choose to live in the flesh and raise children in the flesh, should not be our teachers. [8]
- creep sherets שׁרץ - multiply
God wants everyone to know him, so all things created teach us something about him. [9] We don't learn from hands, feet, air and earth by looking at them, but by what God says about them; by the symbols.
These are symbols we know from other places:
- Hands represent works. [10] [11]
- Feet represent your life. [12]
- Air is the spirit. ruach רוח - spirit, air, breath
- Earth is the flesh. Earth, ground adamah אדמה , man adam אדם
The flying thing was created to fly or live in the air representing spirit. Instead, it swarms on the earth, symbolizing things that follow the crowd on earth. There is an old saying, "If it is popular, there is something wrong with it. The insects we can eat teach us things we should learn. The animals that creep will list things we shouldn't follow.
Swarming and reproducing
A flying thing is something intended for the air, or spirit. A crawling thing represents someone behaving selfishly or 'in the flesh'. It would appear that the the flying things that crawl should be living as though they love God but who have chosen to live and work loving themselves first.. [13]
When the hands (works) and feet (life) are in the flesh (on the ground), it is an abomination. Flying things are supposed to be living in the spirit. It is worse when they reproduce or multiply children of the flesh. People who choose to live in the flesh and raise children in the flesh, should not be our teachers. [14]
