ELTH CC 4-5 Coming, Preface


Leaping things'

There are a few insects that are exceptions to the rule. The actors on the stage could eat them. [1] They teach us something God wants us to learn. These critters are clean because although they fly and creep on all fours, they are distinguished by 'prayer' (kneeling) and leaping into the air, or striving to live in the spirit. These are people who get angry, or frustrated; they may be selfish sometimes; they may forget God from time to time. But they want to do better. So they ask God for help, and try to be good. God knows our heart. [2]

The word for leg is also that for kneel, as if in prayer. Leaping is also 'stripping off' or 'tremble'. The apostle Paul said to "work out your own salvation with fear and trembling" as we strip off the old man. He calls the flesh the 'old man'.

  • leg kara‘ כרע - kneel in reverence
  • leap nathar נתר - tremble, strip


  1. ↑ ▸ ± 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;
  2. ↑ ▸ ± 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.
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 [1]

  • locust ‘arbeh ארבה - light אר in her בה.
  1. ↑ ▸ ± 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:
Bald locust

Jesus finished the work of the Father, and he was also known as the rock [1].

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.
  1. ↑ ▸ ± 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.
Beetle

The beetle comforts us from fear.

Perfect love casts out fear [1]. 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.
  1. ↑ ▸ ± 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.
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' [1] 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.
  1. ↑ ▸ ± 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.
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. [1]

  • even ‘ereb ערב - mix
  • even ‘arab ערב - exchange
  1. ↑ ▸ ± 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.
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 [1]
  1. ↑ ▸ ± Eph 5:26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,

ELTH CC 6-7 Flying things on all fours

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. [1]

  • ferret ‘anaqah אנקה - groaning
  1. ↑ Ro 8:22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.

Might and power are the opposite of the spirit [1].

  • chameleon koach כח - might, force [2]
  1. ↑ Zec 4:6 Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This [is] the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.
  2. ↑ 03581

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.
