Introduction
God wants everyone to know him. He teaches about himself through all things that have been created. [1] Observing the things themselves does not teach us, but we learn from his word by what he has said about the things.
Looking at air does not teach us much because it is invisible. But the Hebrew word ruwach רוח means both 'spirit' and 'wind'. God tells us that the Spirit is like the wind; though it is invisible, we see the work it does. [2]
The Spirit also leads us in truth. We know this by the word for wind as well. See the scroll. [3]
In "Eat Learn this Book", the first book in the series, it shows that all the people and animals are actors in the Old Testament Bible are on a stage for us to learn from. [4] Eating is a symbol for learning. That's why the name of the book changes 'Eat' to 'Learn'. The birds or flying things that we are not supposed to eat represent things God doesn't want us to learn. The law was a script for the actors (the Hebrews) so that we could learn from their play.
- spirit, wind ruwach רוח - 'revealing ר a clear ו understanding ח
- 'eat' akal אכל - 'true אכ teaching ל' and 'smite [chew] the אכ teaching ל'
Bad birds (flying things)
The word 'name' also means 'reputation'. Adam watched the flying things that God created and gave them names based on their behaviors. [5] We sometimes give people nicknames based on their behavior. Do you think "Smiley" smiles alot? Maybe "Sandy" played at the beach a lot.
The names of the flying things are used in riddles to speak of the behaviors we are to avoid. [6]
The behaviors that Adam observed when naming the birds may still be present in their behaviors today. But it is more important that they tell us about the sins that Jesus bore on the cross.
- fowls owph עוף - fly, 'the flesh ע explaining ו the finished prophecy ף'
