Hello and welcome to Iron Sheep Ministries. Our goal, in everything we do, is to Equip, Build and Strengthen the body of Christ (Based on Eph 4:12). That said, despite our best efforts, we acknowledge that we are all weak, helpless, lost sheep in daily need of our shepherd, Jesus Christ (Isa 53:6). Together we are seeking to learn more about God day by day and to be changed by Him from the inside out. Join founder Dave Bigler in his weekly, through the Bible teachings, or simply partake in one of our topical interviews or testimonies.

Leviticus 14.3-7 - The cleansing ceremony and it's symbolism pointing to Christ

There is great symbolism in the Old Testament. In Leviticus 14.3-7 we see a cleansing ceremony to a person healed of leprosy (or a defiling skin disease). In that ceremony, there are two birds, a clay pot with fresh water as well as cedar wood, scarlet yarn and hyssop. One can quickly read over these elements and their potential symbolism, pointing to the gospel narrative. Dave breaks down each of these elements and their potential symbolism.

Outline:

03:37 - The Sacrificial Bird - symbolizing Jesus crucified

04:12 - The Fresh Water - symbolizing living water, fulfilled in Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit.

John 4.1-26, and John 7.37-39

06:21 - The Clay Pot - we are earthen vessels.

2 Cor 4.7, Jer 18.1-6, and Isa 64.8

07:59 - The Cedar Wood - symbolizing the Cross

08:05 - The Scarlet Yarn - symbolizing the Gospel narrative woven throughout the entire Bible

09:09 - The Hyssop - found also at Passover and Calvary

09:42 - The Released Bird - symbolizing Jesus' resurrection and ascension
