My hair's that color, but they don't call me "Rusty"!
Quote-That looks like a Rust Color to me. Does it qualify as ‘red’?
My hair’s that color, but they don’t call me “Rusty”!’
JimRed, you mentioning your hair being that color, gave me thought.
The bible likens people to sheep,goats, wheat, tares, grapes, branches, trees, even pillars in the the temple, etc.
Maybe there is ‘people’ out there that spiritually are likened to red heifers. Or oxen, donkeys, birds, too.
Not in the natural, but in a higher spiritual way.
With a spiritual temple built with the Passover Lamb as the cornerstone, Paul’s premise of first the natural,then the spiritual, could apply to anything to do with the natural tabernacle/temple and its offerings and furnishings.
It’s the spiritual Passover Lamb that the rulers of Jerusalem stumbled over.
They never saw the Passover Lamb on the tree.
They saw only the natural Passover lamb on their tables.
And that blindness led them to think they were worshipping the Father in Spirit and Truth, when their house was actually made desolate.
