Have you ever read a verse in the bible and saw new meaning in it as if you were reading it for the first time? Even though you had read it many times before? There are layers of meaning in the bible....especially in the OT....since the gospel was truly hidden at that time. But not so hidden that it can't be revealed by the Spirit and careful study. i would like to list some of these verses and I hope others will contribute as well. The goal is to encourage study of the bible for the purpose of edification, encouragement and general biblical understanding. Ok, here is one that kind of sets up all the rest..and shows that God is encouraging us to dig deeper into His word because He has hidden many treasures therein. It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, But the glory of kings is to search out a matter. Prov. 25:2 The word "matter" used here is the Hebrew דבר Davar...which is better translated as "word". So then God hides meanings in words. He hides words (in plain sight) that have new layers or depths of meaning that convey His will and His ways. Many of these examples are too difficult to explain in short posts so then I'll try listing only those that can be more readily understood. (I read the bible in Hebrew as this is something that the Lord told me to do...by saying simply "learn Hebrew"...and from there on I've had a passion for reading the OT in the Hebrew.)
