Meant to be

By the Law God let us know how we are meant to be human like. The Children of Israel had a totally different understanding of how to be human being than we have who are our selves in the name of The Son – of Christ – after The Lord put the Law in our minds and wrote it on our hearts (Jeremiah 31:33). We know intuitively how to behave. The Children of Israel lived by the Law.

To be holy by Christ’s sacrifice was not to understand to the Children of Israel, who were holy unto God by living by the Law, by which the purpose of God was given. Even King David did not think of himself as the Christian will do, as being a soul holy by being one of Christ, as being a limb of the body of Christ, as being a branch of the tree which Christ is, but he, David, praised God’s care so “That our sons may be as plants grown up in their youth; that our daughters may be as corner stones, polished after the similitude of a palace: …” (Psalm 144:12, confer Deuteronomy 4:7-8) The Children of Israel saw God’s love entirely as purposed. And David let write: “Happy is that people, that is in such a case: yea, happy is that people, whose God is the LORD.” (Psalm 144:15) Faith to the Children of Israel was believing that they were meant to be for the sake of The Son of Man – of Messiah, and that they therefore would succeed in life.

The commandments of the Law regards both acting and thinking, the latter growing from living by the Law, by the deeds and qualities we develop. In the commandments concerning human being explicitly there is a special commandment regarding thinking, and this says: “And if ye offer a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the LORD, ye shall offer it at your own will. It shall be eaten the same day ye offer it, and on the morrow: and if ought remain until the third day, it shall be burnt in the fire. And if it be eaten at all on the third day, it is abominable; it shall not be accepted. Therefore every one that eateth it shall bear his iniquity, because he hath profaned the hallowed thing of the LORD: and that soul shall be cut off from among his people.” (Leviticus 19:5-8) The animal of the earth is like a way of thinking to the man, and the cattle, different from creep and from beast, signifies value. Offering cattle as a peace offering unto The Lord in this respect means praying for higher understanding. When the meat of the offering was to be eaten the first and the second but not the third day this tells us God let us discover what we are given the first day, and the next day we will see what this also means which we have laid dead to God. But we shall not profane the discovery by eating the meat of the offering the third day. The third day the meat shall be burnt in the fire. The third day, we understand, we will try conclusions.

Immediately following this commandment regarding reasoning a commandment follows regarding our performance, or our look or appearance. The animals on the ground are like mans reasoning. And the plants of the ground are like mans presentations. And the Law states: “And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not wholly reap the corners of thy field, neither shalt thou gather the gleanings of thy harvest. And thou shalt not glean thy vineyard, neither shalt thou gather every grape of thy vineyard; thou shalt leave them for the poor and stranger: I am the LORD your God. (Leviticus 19:9-10) Charity in this respect is gaining respect.
