| | |''Leaping things''' | ||
''Le 11:21 Yet these may ye eat of every flying creeping thing that goeth upon [all] four, which have legs above their feet, to leap withal upon the earth;'' | |||
Allegorically, this critter is clean because although it flies and creeps on all fours, it is distinguished by 'prayer' (kneeling) and leaping into the air, or striving to live in the spirit, 'stripping off the flesh' and 'working out it's salvation with fear and trembling'. | |||
<ref>[[Php 2:12]] Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.</ref> | |||
The word for leg is also that for kneel, as if in prayer. And leaping is also 'stripping off' or 'tremble'. | |||
*'''leg''' ''kara‘'' כרע - kneel in reverence | |||
*'''leap''' ''nathar'' נתר - tremble, strip | |||

| | |''Good examples'' | ||
''Le 11:22 [Even] these of them ye may eat; the locust after his kind, and the bald locust after his kind, and the beetle after his kind, and the grasshopper after his kind.'' | |||
The specific creatures mentioned represent those who are positive influences for us. | |||

| | |''Locust'' | ||
Light is a symbol of holiness. | |||
The daughter or family which is holy is a good influence. Even though they still have works and life which are in the flesh, they have been made holy and God is working on them <ref>Php 1:6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform [it] until the day of Jesus Christ:</ref> | |||
* '''locust''' ''‘arbeh'' ארבה - light אר in her בה. | |||

| | |''Bald locust'' | ||
Jesus finished the work of the Father, and he was also known as the rock <ref>Mt 16:18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock [Christ] I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.</ref>. | |||
:'''bald locust''' ''col‘am '' סלעם - rock סלע completed the promise of the Father ם. | |||
The bald locust is a reminder of the completed work of Christ. This is the primary lesson of the good teacher. | |||

| | |''Beetle'' | ||
Perfect love casts out fear <ref>1Jo 4:18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.</ref>. The beetle suggests that love accomplishes this by teaching. As we learn who God is and that he is in control we can trust him and not fear in the midst of any circumstance. | |||
*'''beetle''' ''chargol'' חרגל - fear חרג ended by teaching ל. | |||

| | |''Grasshopper'' | ||
The 'great and terrible day of the Lord' <ref>Joe 2:31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come.</ref> was the day of the cross. It was a terrible day because the wrath of God was poured out on the sin of mankind born by the flesh of Christ Jesus. But it was a great day as the source of eternal life. | |||
The grasshopper reminds us of those people who preach the gospel of life through the resurrection of Christ. | |||
* '''grasshopper''' ''chagab'' חגב - life ח though the pit [grave] גב. | |||

| | |''[[The exchange]]'' | ||
''Le 11:23 But all [other] flying creeping things, which have four feet, [shall be] an abomination unto you. Le 11:24 And for these ye shall be unclean: whosoever toucheth the carcase of them shall be unclean until the even. . '' | |||
* '''even''' ''‘ereb '' ערב - mix <ref>06153 ref. 06151</ref> | |||
* '''even''' ''‘arab'' ערב - exchange <ref>06152 ref. 06148</ref> | |||
The evening is the symbol of mixing of grace and judgement. The sins of man are covered by the works of the Son. Only the Son can mix them. Whoever works their folly will be unclean until the exchange <ref>2Co 5:21 For he hath made him [to be] sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.</ref> | |||

|{{ | |{{bl|Carrying the carcase}} | ||
''Le 11:25 And whosoever beareth [ought] of the carcase of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even. Le 11:26 [The carcases] of every beast which divideth the hoof, and [is] not clovenfooted, nor cheweth the cud, [are] unclean unto you: every one that toucheth them shall be unclean. Le 11:27 And whatsoever goeth upon his paws, among all manner of beasts that go on [all] four, those [are] unclean unto you: whoso toucheth their carcase shall be unclean until the even. Le 11:28 And he that beareth the carcase of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even: they [are] unclean unto you. '' | |||
* '''beareth''' ''nasa’'' נשׂא - exalts <ref>05375</ref> | |||
Whoever exalts the folly of them shall tread his works with the word and be unclean until the mixing. | |||
