This may be the wrong forum for what I'm asking. If so, you mods should move it for me. I probably can find the answer to this with enough research. I'm sure I'm not the only person who thought about this. But maybe 1 of you know. If so please save me the hours needed to discover this. I know the ancient people meant different things than we do rather often. I've seen this discussed before, but not with eating. When I 1st read the Bible and an angel told a prophet to eat a scroll or book I just kept going. I knew the angel didn't mean to actually eat it. I didn't know what it meant and my goal was to read the Bible. Now I want to know what the ancients meant. If I say eat the words I tell you I know 1 thing it means is take them to heart. Make them part of your thoughts. Maybe that's it. Maybe there are no other hidden meanings. But God seems to love hidden meanings. He also seems to love poetry. All this eating mystery becomes very significant with Jesus. We know from the beginning of man that God forbade the eating of human flesh or the drinking of blood. There are several reasons for this. One is it's something the devils do. They also want us to eat human flesh. God said no. So why then did Jesus say we should eat His flesh and drink His blood? What did He really mean and how should we do it? To answer that first we need to understand what the ancients meant by eating. Does anyone have any insights?
