2nd Book

Revision as of 16:42, 5 July 2022

The parable ^[1] progresses from the seed, which represents Jesus in the event of his birth ^[2], to the herb, which also represents Jesus in the event of his life ^[3] and then to the tree , which we can safely say also represents Jesus, and the event of the cross.	↑ Parallel parable - mustard seed ↑ Mustard seed ↑ great herb
The Hebrew word for 'tree' is ets עץ also means 'the flesh ע of the judge (the righteous man) died ץ.
Jesus has pointed backwards now to Ge 1:11, 12 ^[1]^[2] He references the seed, the herb and the tree and is giving a commentary on it. It would be fulfilled by him.	↑ ▸ ± Ge 1:11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, [and] the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed [is] in itself, upon the earth: and it was so. [{grass: Heb. tender grass }] ↑ ▸ ± Ge 1:12 And the earth brought forth grass, [and] herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed [was] in itself, after his kind: and God saw that [it was] good.
