  1. God instigated the practice of circumcision to be a token, or a physical sign of the covenant that God made with Abraham and his seed (Genesis 17:11). Have you ever wondered why the Lord would require the sign of this covenant to be placed on the most intimate part of a man’s anatomy; the appendage that is used to join a man with a woman to produce new life? What is God trying to say to us through this illustration? I think we can summarize the whole concept by stating that circumcision is God’s way of showing us that He wants to be spiritually and intimately connected to His people. God used the practice of circumcision under the old covenant to illustrate this spiritual principle. This symbol of intimacy with God was never fully understood throughout the ages that were classified as the old covenant, or testament. The intimacy that circumcision represents would not be achieved as long as the old covenant was in effect. During that time people could be moved and influenced by God’s Holy Spirit, but not indwelt. God was orchestrating a unique plan that would enable His Spirit to actually come into someone and the purpose of that union would be to produce the holy fruit of a transformed life; a new birth. In order for God to achieve the intimacy He desires to have with His people, sin, the element that blocks that desired union, would have to be eliminated. The foreshadow of this plan to remove sin is illustrated for us in the third chapter of Genesis. After Adam and Eve disobeyed God, they attempted to cover the evidence of their transgression with leaves; leaves that would eventually dry up, become brittle and wither away exposing their nakedness again. Their own efforts to cover their sin were worthless. The prophet Isaiah must have had this incident in mind when he said, “But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousness are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf, and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away” (Isaiah 64:6). Then God did an amazing, loving thing. He clothed his two, shivering children with the soft, warm skins of the first sacrifice. He is showing us that man cannot cover or remove his sins by his own efforts; it can only be done by a sacrifice made by God. Thus we begin the journey through time until we come to the fulfillment of the plan for man’s redemption that God initiated in Eden’s garden. The New Covenant would be established through the last sacrifice which was accomplished through the death of the Messiah Jesus, all of which had been prophesied in the writings of Moses and the prophets. Through repentance and faith in His death and resurrection from the dead a believer’s sins are removed enabling God’s Holy Spirit to fully penetrate the soul, unifying the person with God and enabling him to live eternally; for what God has joined to Himself, cannot be separated as long as the believer remains in that New Covenant. The plan for the redemption of mankind, was foreshadowed in various ways throughout the old covenant and that was its purpose, to prepare the way for its fulfillment in the new. Jesus said, new wine cannot be put into old wineskins (Matthew (;16,17). The old wineskins, the old covenant, would have to be replaced, cut off like a foreskin when the new covenant was instigated by Jesus’ prophesied sacrifice. Only then could the Holy Spirit actually enter a believer. Through this new union with God, which is only made possible through Jesus’ sacrifice, we become the temple of the Holy Spirit. We are indwelt by God through His Spirit and can experience His presence in our lives thus fulfilling the foreshadow that God so skillfully portrayed through His instructions to Abraham. The entrance of God’s Spirit, which is also the Spirit of His Son, the Messiah Jesus,(Romans 8:9), makes us truly one with God and He produces through this union a new creature, an inner transformation that the old wineskin was never designed to provide. The Apostle Paul makes this analogy, comparing circumcision with baptism. We are buried in the waters of baptism, our old natures are symbolically cut off and left behind in the regenerating waters of new life (Colossians 2:11,12). God wants to circumcise our hearts, cut off the things within us that are displeasing to Him and replace them with the divine nature of Jesus. Under the new covenant we are not justified by works, we are justified by Christ alone, and in turn that faith, that relationship with Jesus, works in the believer to change us into the people He wants us to become. When we are led by the Holy Spirit of God, He moves us away from sin and we naturally will walk in the things that please Him. However, for some, it is easier to follow a to do list than allow themselves to be reformed by the Spirit’s inner workings. People who have “religious spirits” tend to recoil from any teachings about intimacy with God. These ones are prone to legalism and the pride that enables them to believe that they are somehow capable of maintaining their salvation through their own righteousness. As we have been shown, we cannot do for ourselves what God has ordained for Him to do for us. Clothing ourselves in fig leaves will never work. Allowing God to circumcise our hearts with His Spirit by faith is the only circumcision that He has ordained under His New Covenant of eternal life..
  2. This is my latest video about how Jesus is the main theme of both the old and new testament, specifically about how Moses is a "type" of Christ. In many ways that may be easy to miss at first the life of Moses clearly portrays Christ.
  3. . List of Scriptures about Hidden, Parables, Mysteries, Shadows, Seek Psalms 49:4 I will incline mine ear to a parable: I will open my dark saying upon the harp. Psalm 78:2 I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old: Proverbs 1:6 To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings. Proverbs 25:2 It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter. Hosea 12:10 I have also spoken by the prophets, and I have multiplied visions, and used similitudes, by the ministry of the prophets. Micah 3:6 Therefore night shall be unto you, that ye shall not have a vision; and it shall be dark unto you, that ye shall not divine; and the sun shall go down over the prophets, and the day shall be dark over them Matthew 13:34 All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them: Mark 4:13 And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables? Mark 4:34 But without a parable spake he not unto them: and when they were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples. John 10:6 This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them. Luke 21:29 And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees; 1 Corinthians 4:1 Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God. 1 Cor. 2:12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. Galatians 4:24 Which things are an allegory: [This is all encouraging to me to keep comparing, especially if a person or event sort of jumps out at me. I looked up the word parable and it has meaning for para to lay side by side, compare, and ballo, to see or to throw.] ******************** .
  4. (I'm quoting words from a man who wrote this about 1,800 years ago! This man's teacher was Polycarp who was taught by John the disciple of Christ. Please hear his call to compare things.) If any one, therefore, reads the Scriptures with attention, he will find in them an account of Christ, and a foreshadowing of the new calling. For Christ is the treasure which was hid in the field, that is, in this world; but the treasure hid in the Scriptures is Christ, since He was pointed out by means of types and parables. Hence His human nature could not be understood, prior to the consummation of these things which had been predicted, that is, the advent of Christ. And therefore it was said to Daniel the prophet: "Shut up the words, and seal the book even to the time of consummation, until many learn, and knowledge be completed. For at that time, when the dispersion shall be accomplished, they shall know all these things." But Jeremiah also says, "In the last days they shall understand these things." For every prophecy, before its fulfilment, is to men [full of] enigmas and ambiguities. But when the time has arrived, and the prediction has come to pass, then the prophecies have a clear and certain exposition. And for this reason, indeed, when at this present time the law is read to the Jews, it is like a fable; for they do not possess the explanation of all things pertaining to the advent of the Son of God, which took place in human nature; but when it is read by the Christians, it is a treasure, hid indeed in a field, but brought to light by the cross of Christ, and explained, both enriching the understanding of men, and showing forth the wisdom of God and declaring His dispensations with regard to man, and forming the kingdom of Christ beforehand, and preaching by anticipation the inheritance of the holy Jerusalem, and proclaiming beforehand that the man who loves God shall arrive at such excellency as even to see God, and hear His word, and from the hearing of His discourse be glorified to such an extent, that others cannot behold the glory of his countenance, as was said by Daniel: "Those who do understand, shall shine as the brightness of the firmament, and many of the righteous as the stars for ever and ever." Thus, then, I have shown it to be, if any one read the Scriptures. For thus it was that the Lord discoursed with the disciples after His resurrection from the dead, proving to them from the Scriptures themselves "that Christ must suffer, and enter into His glory, and that remission of sins should be preached in His name throughout all the world." And the disciple will be perfected, and [rendered] like the householder, "who bringeth forth from his treasure things new and old."
