WHY DID GOD GIVE THE ISRAELITES DIETARY LAWS? Well, it certainly included a practical side: Before refrigerators, God knew safe storage of shell fish might not work well in the desert. In fact, it would lead to more last suppers. The dietary laws were also one of God's many ways to use Israel as an object lesson for all people. Israel was to be a light unto the nations. Their actions at God's prompting sent messages to the world about problems everyone has that need to be fixed. When made aware of those issues, hopefully people would come to God for the fix. Those particular laws in Leviticus were also to point out that God is clean and we are unclean. Again, God also gave Israel the dietary laws to make Israelites stand out on purpose. | image tagged in god,israel,laws,bible,christian,old testament | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

WHERE EXACTLY DO WE LIKLY SEE JESUS IN THE OLD TESTAMENT? It's the important issue of “theophanies" and “Christophanies." "Theos" is God and the rest of the word means “appearances." "Christos" is "Christ" so Christophanies is the theological term meaning this: Even though Jesus took on a human-flesh virgin birth at His First Coming, a lot of theologians say, because He's eternal, prior to that time, there were preincarnate (before Christ took on a human body), experiences of Jesus Christ in the Old Testament. How can He do that? Well, He is God, which means He's eternal, being able to appear whenever He'd like. But the time we focus on is when He became a baby that grew to be a man, who saved the world by dying on a cross for our sins. A few quick Old Testament examples are these: First, the many appearances of the "Angel of the Lord."; Some say that very well could have been Jesus. And it's not alarming to say “angel" for Jesus because the term actually means "messenger," or "angelos" in Greek. So in the Old Testament instances with the "Angel of the Lord, or "messenger of the Lord," Jesus the Son delivered the message Himself. It does not mean He's an angel. Other possible appearances of Jesus in the Old Testament are Genesis Chapter 12, where the Lord appeared to Abraham. Some say that's also an example of Christophany and theophany. Genesis 18 tells us Abraham had two angel visitors, along with God himself. So some say that was probably Jesus. Genesis 32 was Jacob wrestling all night long with a man, which, instead, was God. Who do you think that probably was? Again, many would say it was probably a preincarnate Jesus. Other possibilities are in Exodus 24 and Deuteronomy 31. So examples go on and on and you can look deeper into it if you'd
