Barnabas' Exposition On The KOSHER/TREY Law. by oaroloye(m): 5:53pm On Apr 13, 2020 |
SHALOM? The vast majority of Bible Followers have no idea how little they know, that they should, before thinking that they serve God. :I have a couple of APOCRYPHA quotes the Oyinbos rejected from canon, that should put things in perspective: . THE EPISTLE OF BARNABAS 9:1-20. BUT why did Moses say "YE SHALL NOT EAT OF THE SWINE, NEITHER THE EAGLE NOR THE HAWK; NOR THE CROW; NOR ANY FISH THAT HAS NOT A SCALE UPON HIM?" answer, that in the spiritual sense, he comprehended three doctrines, that were to be gathered from thence. 2. Besides which he says to them in the Book of Deuteronomy, "AND I WILL GIVE MY STATUTES UNTO THIS PEOPLE." Wherefore it is not the Command of God that they should not eat these things; but Moses in The Spirit spake unto them. 3. Now the sow he forbade them to eat; meaning thus much; Thou shalt not join thyself to such persons as are like unto swine; who whilst they live in pleasure, forget their God; but when any want pinches them, then they know The LORD; as the sow when she is full knows not her master; but when she is hungry she makes a noise; and being again fed, is silent. 4. "NEITHER," says he, "SHALT THOU EAT THE EAGLE, NOR THE HAWK, NOR THE KITE, NOR THE CROW;" that is thou shalt not keep company with such kind of men as know not how by their labour and sweat to get themselves food: but injuriously ravish away the things of others; and watch how, to lay snares for them; when at the same time they appear to live in perfect innocence. 5. [So these birds alone seek not food for themselves, but] sitting idle seek how they may eat of the flesh others have provided; being destructive through their wickedness. 6. "NEITHER," says HE, "SHALT THOU EAT THE LAMPREY, NOR THE POLYPUS, NOR THE CUTTLE-FISH;" That is, thou shalt not be like such men, by using to converse with them; who are altogether wicked and adjudged to death. For so those Fishes are alone accursed, and wallow in the mire, nor swim as other fishes, but tumble in the dirt at the bottom of the deep. 7. "BUT" He adds, "NEITHER SHALT THOU EAT OF THE HARE." To what end?—To signify this to us; "THOU SHALT NOT BE AN ADULTERER; NOR LIKEN THYSELF TO SUCH PERSONS." For the Hare every year multiplies the places of its conception; and so many years as it lives, so many it has. [j]8. "NEITHER SHALT THOU EAT OF THE HYENA;"[/i] That is, again, be not an Adulterer, nor a corruptor of others; neither be like to such. And wherefore so? Because that creature every year changes its kind, and is sometimes male and sometimes female. 9. For which cause also he justly hated the Weasel; to the end that they should not be like such persons who with their mouths commit wickedness by reason of their uncleanness; nor join themselves with those impure women, who with their mouths commit wickedness. Because that animal conceives with its mouth. 10. Moses, therefore, speaking as concerning meats, delivered indeed three great precepts to them in the spiritual signification of those commands. But they according to the desires of the flesh, understood him as if he had only meant it of meats. 11. And therefore David took aright The Knowledge of His threefold Command, saying in like manner. 12. "BLESSED IS THE MAN THAT HATH NOT WALKED IN THE COUNSEL OF THE UNGODLY;" as the Fishes before mentioned in the bottom of the deep in Darkness. 13. "NOR STOOD IN THE WAY OF SINNERS," as they who seem to fear The LORD, but yet Sin, as the Sow. 14. "AND HATH NOT SAT IN THE SEAT OF THE SCORNERS;" as those Birds who sit and watch that they may devour. 15. Here you have The Law concerning meat perfectly set forth, and according to The True Knowledge of it. 16. "BUT," says Moses, "YE SHALL EAT ALL THAT DIVIDETH THE HOOF, AND CHEWETH THE CUD."[ i] Signifying thereby such an one as having taken his food, knows Him that nourisheth him; and resting upon Him, rejoiceth in Him. 17. And in this he spake well, having respect to The Commandment. What, therefore, is it that he says? —That we should hold fast to them that fear The Lord; with those who Meditate on The Command of the Word which they have received in their heart; with those that declare The Righteous Judgments of The LORD, and keep His Commandments; 18. In short, with those who know that to Meditate is a work of pleasure, and therefore exercise themselves in the Word of The LORD. 19. But why might they eat those that clave the hoof? —Because the Righteous liveth in this present World; but his expectation is fixed upon the other. See, Brethren, how admirably Moses commanded these things. 20. But how should we thus know all this, and understand it? We, therefore, understanding aright The Commandments, speak as The LORD would have us. Wherefore He has circumcised our ears and our hearts, that we might Know these Things. . EPISTLE OF BARNABAS 10:11-12. 11. And Moses again says about food, [i]"AND EAT EVERY THING CLOVEN-FOOTED AND THAT DRAWETH UP [THE CUD.]" Why says he so ? Because when receiving nourishment it knows Him who nourishes it, and resting upon Him it seems to be made glad. He spake well, looking to the Commandment. What then does he mean? That we should join ourselves to those who fear the Lord, to those who meditate in their heart on the explanation of the Word which they have received, to those who preach the Judgments of the Lord and observe them, to those who know that Meditation is a Work of Gladness, and to those who ruminate on The Word of the Lord. And why the clovenfooted? Because the Just man both walks in this World, and also looks for the Holy Age. Look how well Moses made his Laws. 12. But how could they [the Jews] perceive or understand these things ? But we, rightly understanding the Commands, rightly preach as the Lord wished. For this purpose he circumcised our ears and hearts, that we might understand these things. THE KOSHER/TREY LAW OF LEVITICUS 11:1-47 IS ABOUT HOW TO PROPERLY USE THE MIND IN GENERAL, AND TO UNDERSTAND THE BIBLE IN PARTICULAR. Every verse of The KOSHER/TREIF LAW symbolically teaches the CORRECT USE of the MIND, but these should be enough for you to understand the Basics: CHEWING THE CUD symbolizes MEDITATION: the forced-assimilation of the entire Scripture, taking a short selection out to repeat, hundreds into thousands of times per day, until one has achieved TOTAL UNDERSTANDING. THE FOUR LEGS symbolize the FOUR SPIRITUAL ENERGY categories- each of which has their time and place: Unjustness; Filthiness; Righteousness; and Holiness. THE CLOVEN HOOVES symbolize Spiritual (left) and Physical (right) Awareness working together, side-by-side. THE CLEAN FISH symbolize people and knowledge with the full complement of attributes. THE UNCLEAN FISH symbolize those people and ideas who lack essential criteria of acceptance. THE FOUR SPIRITUAL CATEGORIES ENERGY EACH HAVE THEIR OWN SIGNATURE MODE OF PERCEPTION: . REVELATION 22:11-12. 11. "He that is UNJUST, let him be Unjust still: and he which is FILTHY, let him be Filthy still: and he that is RIGHTEOUS, let him be Righteous still: and he that is HOLY, let him be Holy still. 12. "And, behold, I come quickly; and my Reward is with me, to give every man According as his Work shall be." . MATTHEW 13:1-23. THE same day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by the sea side. 2. And great multitudes were gathered together unto him, so that he went into a ship, and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore. 3. And he Spake many things unto them in Parables, Saying, "Behold, a sower went forth to sow; 4. "And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up: 5. "Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth: 6. "And when the Sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away. 7. "And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them: 8. "But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold. 9. "Who hath ears to hear, let him hear." 10. And the Disciples came, and said unto him, "Why speakest thou unto them in Parables?" 11. He answered and Said unto them, "Because it is given unto you to know The Mysteries of The Kingdom of Heaven, but to them it is not given. 12. "For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath. 13. "Therefore Speak I to them in Parables: 'BECAUSE THEY SEEING SEE NOT; AND HEARING THEY HEAR NOT, NEITHER DO THEY UNDERSTAND.' 14. "And in them is fulfilled the Prophecy of Esaias, which saith, 'BY HEARING YE SHALL HEAR, AND SHALL NOT UNDERSTAND; AND SEEING YE SHALL SEE, AND SHALL NOT PERCEIVE: 15. 'FOR THIS PEOPLE'S HEART IS WAXED GROSS, AND THEIR EARS ARE DULL OF HEARING, AND THEIR EYES THEY HAVE CLOSED; LEST AT ANY TIME THEY SHOULD SEE WITH THEIR EYES AND HEAR WITH THEIR EARS, AND SHOULD UNDERSTAND WITH THEIR HEART, AND SHOULD BE CONVERTED, AND I SHOULD HEAL THEM.' 16. "But Blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear. 17. "For verily I Say unto you, 'THAT MANY PROPHETS AND RIGHTEOUS MEN HAVE DESIRED TO SEE THOSE THINGS WHICH YE SEE, AND HAVE NOT SEEN THEM; AND TO HEAR THOSE THINGS WHICH YE HEAR, AND HAVE NOT HEARD THEM.' 18. "Hear ye therefore The Parable of the Sower. 19. 'WHEN ANY ONE HEARETH THE WORD OF THE KINGDOM, AND UNDERSTANDETH IT NOT, THEN COMETH THE WICKED ONE, AND CATCHETH AWAY THAT WHICH WAS SOWN IN HIS HEART. THIS IS HE WHICH RECEIVED SEED BY THE WAY SIDE. 20. 'BUT HE THAT RECEIVED THE SEED INTO STONY PLACES, THE SAME IS HE THAT HEARETH THE WORD, AND ANON WITH JOY RECEIVETH IT; 21. 'YET HATH HE NOT ROOT IN HIMSELF, BUT DURETH FOR A WHILE: FOR WHEN TRIBULATION OR PERSECUTION ARISETH BECAUSE OF THE WORD, BY AND BY HE IS OFFENDED. 22. 'HE ALSO THAT RECEIVED SEED AMONG THE THORNS IS HE THAT HEARETH THE WORD; AND THE CARE OF THIS WORLD, AND THE DECEITFULNESS OF RICHES, CHOKE THE WORD, AND HE BECOMETH UNFRUITFUL. 23. 'BUT HE THAT RECEIVED SEED INTO THE GOOD GROUND IS HE THAT HEARETH THE WORD, AND UNDERSTANDETH IT; WHICH ALSO BEARETH FRUIT, AND BRINGETH FORTH, SOME AN HUNDREDFOLD, SOME SIXTY, SOME THIRTY.' " . THE FOUR LEVELS OF PERCEPTION. 4. DIFFERENTIATION: The sane and intelligent ability to perceive the differences between similar things. 3. ASSOCIATION: The sane and intelligent ability to perceive the similarities between different things. 2. IDENTIFICATION: The insane and stupid inability to perceive the differences between different things. 1. DISSOCIATION: The insane and stupid inability to perceive the similarities between similar things. 0. DEATH: The Complete Failure of the ability to perceive anything. [See: THE FUNDAMENTALS OF THOUGHT, by L. Ron Hubbard.] BIBLICAL MEDITATION IS EXECUTED BY TAKING A "MOUTHFUL" OF SCRIPTURE AND RECITING IT TO ONESELF REPEATEDLY- HUNDREDS INTO THOUSANDS OF TIMES PER DAY. [Cut Recycled Post.] |
