Leviticus 14.3-7 - The cleansing ceremony and it's symbolism pointing to Christ
from Iron Sheep Ministries Inc. · host Dave Bigler
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 crucified04:12 - The Fresh Water - symbolizing living water, fulfilled in Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit.
