Wine represents grace. The old way to receive grace was through the ritual sacrifices which did not produce actual grace, but a promise of grace. They were not saved by the blood of animals; they were a promise of the blood of Christ. Clothing represents works. The old works of the law were like actors playing a role to teach us of Christ. We are to learn from their 'theater' but are not bound to the script as they were. The new works are those based in the law of Love; Love God and love your neighbor. To be like a little child means that we do not rely upon our old understanding. We come fresh to the word of God to be taught new things. The one who thinks he already knows, cannot learn. This work is written for the parent to engage with the child. It introduces foundational principles for interpreting scripture. My hope is that it draws you into discussions with your child while giving you a new view of the Bible.

Flying things on all fours Le 11:20 All fowls that creep, going upon [all] four, [shall be] an abomination unto you. God wants everyone to know him, so all things that he created teach us something about him. We don't learn from hands, feet, air and earth by looking at them but by what God says about them. These are symbols we know from other places. Hands represent works. Feet represent your life. Air is the spirit. ruach רוח - spirit, air, breath Earth is the flesh. Earth, ground adamah אדמה , man adam אדם
Swarming and reproducing Le 11:20 ¶ All fowls that creep [swarm], going upon [all] four, [shall be] an abomination unto you. A flying thing is something intended for the air, or spirit. A crawling thing is in the flesh. It would appear that the the flying things that crawl should be living in the spirit but who have chosen to live and work in the flesh. 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. Christians who choose to live in the flesh and raise children in the flesh, should not be our teachers. creep sherets שׁרץ - multiply
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'. 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 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 . The bald locust is a reminder of the completed work of Christ. This is the primary lesson of the good teacher. bald locust col‘am סלעם - rock סלע completed the promise of the Father ם.
Beetle The beetle comforts us from fear. Perfect love casts out fear . 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 grasshopper reminds us of those people who preach the gospel of life through the resurrection of Christ. The 'great and terrible day of the Lord' 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. 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. . The evening is the symbol of the cross where grace meets judgement. The sins of man are covered by the works of the Son. Whoever needs forgiveness is unclean until he comes to the cross. even ‘ereb ערב - mix even ‘arab ערב - exchange
Carrying the carcase [∞] Le 11:25-28 And whosoever beareth [ought] of the carcase of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even. 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. 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. 28 And he that beareth the carcase of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even: they [are] unclean unto you. Whoever brags on sin needs forgiveness offered by Jesus through the cross. If they follow the bad teachers, they shall cleanse their minds and works through the word of God. beareth nasa’ נשׂא - exalts clothes - symbol of works wash - symbol of renewing your mind

Creeping things

Discussion

Le 11:29-31 These also [shall be] unclean unto you among the creeping things that creep upon the earth; the weasel, and the mouse, and the tortoise after his kind, 30 And the ferret, and the chameleon, and the lizard, and the snail, and the mole. 31 These [are] unclean to you among all that creep: whosoever doth touch them, when they be dead, shall be unclean until the even. Creeping things are those things which reproduce quickly. The things listed will all be things that God does not want to spread. creeping things... on the earth sharats שרץ - increase abundantly [in the flesh], the ox shur שר death ץ.
Weasel The weasel represents the teaching of this age, or this world. The world teaches us to succeed. God teaches us to love. weasel choled חלד - age, world, time. Understanding ח the teaching ל of the word ד of this age חלד. Mouse The mouse is a symbol of the abounding flesh. The mouse chases his success. mouse ‘akbar עכבר - flesh ע made to abound
Tortoise Some shield themselves from God, such as refusing to read the New Testament, or refusing to read the Bible. tortoise? tsab צב - covered righteousness צ revealed to man ב. The one shields himself from the righteousness of God is actively resisting God.
Ferret The ferret makes all kinds of noises: whimpering, whining, screeching, screaming, barking, snoring. Perhaps Adam heard one sound like he was groaning and named him that. The whole earth groaned until Jesus came for us. ferret ‘anaqah אנקה - groaning
Might and power are the opposite of the spirit . chameleon koach כח - might, force
The lizard represents those whose desire for God has become dead. lizard לטאה ' 03911 - myrrh [death] of yearning אה [separated א hearing ה].
The mole represents those who have died desolate. Suggestive of dead authors who were not alive in the spirit. mole tanshemeth תנשׁמת ::[[Ph תנשׁמת | Ph תנשׁמת]] d_תנשׁמת D תנשׁמת σ [[s_תנשׁמת |S תנשׁמת]] ₣ [[n_תנשׁמת |N תנשׁמת]]- final ת breath נשׁמת or the desolate ones
