Even Solomon did not realize that the perfect red heifer was a picture of Messiah. Jesus was the perfect sacrifice that purified us!
The fact that we can understand this, while Solomon and the sages couldn't, is a very good example of how the Holy Spirit opens our minds so we can understand God's will. It fills me with awe.
I am glad you understand that a red heifer is synonymous with JC, I doubt few others can.
“Even Solomon did not realize that the perfect red heifer was a picture of Messiah. Jesus was the perfect sacrifice that purified us!”
A stretch worthy of Plastic Man.
“Holy Heifer” - perhaps there is a theological justification for using ‘holy cow’, but ‘holy heifer’?
“Jesus as heifer” is going to be a difficult debate to win, IMHO. But, I must give you credit for initiating what may become an interesting thread.
I’ll be interested to see Carrie_okie’s response to this one.
What if there really were Aliens back then, and they asked for a ‘sacrifice’ becuase they felt like Barbeque?
As to knowing Jesus, I'm always struck by what Proverbs 30 says:
"Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou canst tell?" (Proverbs 30:4)
