Kindle no fire

[KohenMatt]

I suppose the laws were intended to show just how difficult it was to
be righteous on our own. One way or another every person would break
them, either intentionally or unintentionally.

It makes it all the more spectacular that Jesus came to bear that heavy load
of sin and impute us with his righteousness.

People should feel relieved they no longer have to carry around all those
Torah laws any more. I don't even think I would have remembered them all!

Its interesting though to speculate on whether there was a deeper spiritual
symbolism behind them. I was thinking of the parable of
the wise and foolish virgins who were all suppose to keep the lamps
burning until the groom came.

Maybe the kindle thing was about being prepared and ready - just imagine if God
had shown up on their sabbath and no food or heat was available.

But then there is the example or a Mary and Martha where that literally did happen.
One was frantic making preparations, the other sat and had a sabbath days rest.


Wow I could really go off on a tangent with this one, I'm sure there is a good
sermon in there somewhere.


Wow Jesus wants us to rest in Him, Hallujah what a saviour.

Every one of the 613 laws has a deeper spiritual meaning if someone is willing to look for it.

Many folks are not.

Here are a few scriptures that have me to believe it is a parable

EXOD.35 [2] Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day there shall be to you an holy day, a sabbath of rest to the LORD: whosoever doeth work therein shall be put to death.[3] Ye shall KINDLE NO FIRE throughout your habitations upon the sabbath day.

Kindle no fire.


PROVERBS 26 [20] WHERE NO WOOD IS, THERE THE FIRE GOETH OUT: so where there is no talebearer, the strife ceaseth.[21] As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire; so is a contentious man to KINDLE STRIFE. [22] The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.

Seems to have something to do with the words you speak.


JAMES 3 [4] Behold also the ships, which though they be so great, and are driven of fierce winds, yet are they turned about with a very small helm, whithersoever the governor listeth.[5] EVEN SO THE TONGUE IS A LITTLE MEMBER, AND BOASTETH GREAT THINGS. BEHOLD, HOW GREAT A MATTER A LITTLE FIRE KINDLETH![6] And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.[7] For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind:[8] But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.

The new verifys the old


JER.17 [26] And they shall come from the cities of Judah, and from the places about Jerusalem, and from the land of Benjamin, and from the plain, and from the mountains, and from the south, bringing burnt offerings, and sacrifices, and meat offerings, and incense, and bringing sacrifices of praise, unto the house of the LORD.[27] But IF YE WILL NOT HEARKEN UNTO ME TO HALLOW THE SABBATH DAY, and not to bear a burden, even entering in at the gates of Jerusalem on the sabbath day; THEN WILL I KINDLE A FIRE in the gates thereof, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem, and it shall not be quenched.

More than a parable?


EZEKIEL 20 [47] And say to the forest of the south, Hear the word of the Lord; Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I WILL KINDLE A FIRE IN THEE, and it shall devour every green tree in thee, and every dry tree: THE FLAMING FLAME shall not be quenched, and all faces from the south to the north shall be burned therein. [48] AND ALL FLESH SHALL SEE THAT I THE LORD HAVE KINDLED IT: it shall not be quenched. [49] THEN SAID I, AH LORD GOD! THEY SAY OF ME, DOTH HE NOT SPEAK PARABLES?

Sounds like a Day of the Lord scripture. Hmmm

As I mentioned before, it certainly has a spiritual application, but we shouldn't lose sight of the fact that it was a physical instruction as well.
