ELTB CC Flying things
From 2nd Book
Jump to navigationJump to search
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 we know from other places:
- Hands represent works. [2] [3]
- Feet represent your life. [4]
- 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.
