«Gotta infiltrate your section

With Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection»

«Christ's death and resurrection is

The main theme of the whole Old Testament»

«Gotta infiltrate your section

«Christ's death and resurrection»

God’s plan of redemption is progressively done

The Old Testament is about the death of a Son

And a resurrection to come

But this is seen in several aspects of the text that are One:

First in this verse I’m spitting, turn attention

To death and resurrection in the theme of Circumcision

Adam was God’s human son in His image (Gen. 1:26; Luke 3:38)

Commissioned to reproduce tons that are sinless (Gen. 1:28)

Who love God with all their heart and their soul

So His just Law always they’d guard and uphold

Adam was to pass on God’s image through his offspring

But since the Fall, his children are wicked and they all sin!

Now they reproduce a ghastly sinner!

So God comes to Abraham a 2nd Adam figure

Blesses him «to be fruitful» with «multiplication» (Gen. 12:2−3; 17:2−6)

This promise to Abram

Is to resurrect all of the nations! (Gen. 12:3; 17:4−5)

And CIRCUMCISION is the SIGN OF THIS COVENANT (Gen. 17:10)

A picture of (1) blessing, and a reminder of (2) punishment (a curse!):

DUAL SANCTIONS, its double meaning:

The blessing is the fallen-Adam-nature of his sons He’s cleaning

Thus enforcing, them to cut their foreskin

CLEANSING symbolized on the reproductive organ (Gen. 17:11, 13b)

To reproduce image bearers

Who love God, it’s HIM they cherish (Gen. 18:19)

In covenant like in a marriage!

But CIRCUMCISION also has a curse within it

For «cut off» ‘CaRaT' (כּ רַָת) is the Hebrew verb that’s written

Because just as Yahweh showed that IF HE BREAKS HIS PROMISE

HE’LL BE CUT OFF like how when He slayed the carcass (Gen. 15:17−18; Jer.

Likewise any uncircumcised one in the nation, not circumcised in heart,

but they’re faking (Jer. 9:25-

Here’s the judgment they’re facing:

They’re «cut off» (כּ רַָת) from God, EXILED, for their covenant breaking

(‘CaRaT')! (Gen. 17:14)

By what CIRCUMCISION is meant, is seen

Most of all in Deuteronomy chapter 10:16=

«circumcise the foreskin of your heart»

Instead of them being stubbornly sinful and hard

Without this, there is no keeping of the Law (Deut. 10:12−13)

Although receiving it in awe, Moses sees that they will fall (Deut. 4:30)

«Cut Off» from Yahweh for evil that they sought (Deut. 30:1)

But God will do what they can’t

Because His people—they are flawed! (Deut. 30:6)

So in God’s Word it’s written:

Restoration and Return from Exile will come with HEART-CIRCUMCISION (Deut.

That’s the True-Abundant Gift, Deuteronomy 30:1 through 6

The promise of the New Covenant!

As I read it, my eyes get large:

Yahweh promises to circumcise their hearts! (Deut. 30:6; Jer. 31:33; 32:38−40;

Eze. 11:16−20)

Because Resurrection, being performed, is essential

Both on an individual and a corporate level

Hence Ezekiel 36 and 37

The Spirit works the blessing of New Birth and Resurrection

Because the Same One who removes hearts of stone (Ezekiel 36:26)

Also resurrects from the tomb, fallen bones! (Ezekiel 37:1−28)

And all these promises start to be accomplished by God

When One Israelite turns to Him with all of His heart!

All these promises start to be accomplished by God

When a Torah (Law)-Keeper turned to Him with all of His heart! (Deut. 30:2, 10)

Every commandment—He did them, the Lamb—He was given

To be «cut off out of the land of the living» (Isaiah 53:8)

When He was destroyed for you

He was bearing the covenant curse that Circumcision pointed to (Gen. 17:14; Gal.

Cut off from the Father, stricken with stripes

Paul calls the Cross «the Circumcision of Christ!» (Colossians 2:11)

He buried the old, Adam order, then risen with might (Col. 2:12; Rom. 6:4)

As Life-Giving Spirit, He’s the Giver of Life (1 Cor. 15:45)

So «we are the True Circumcision» (Philippians 3:3)

A part of His New Creation

His renewed Church that’s in Him (Gal. 6:13−16)

Raised up by His grace, so we’re able to obey (Rom. 6:13−18)

And PUT OFF the old Adam slave who’s in the grave (Col. 2:11=Col 3:9−10)

Renewed in the Image of the Son, restored (Eph. 4:22−24; Col. 3:10; Rom. 8:29)

With circumcised hearts now we can love the LORD! (Rom. 2:28−29; Deut.

30:6; Rom. 8:2−4)

We were headed for hell, we couldn’t better our selves

God’s solution was Colossians 2:11 through 12

Christ «PUT OFF the body of the flesh» (Col. 2:11)

That’s the Romans 6:6 «body of sin» in bondage to death

THE CROSS WAS THE INSTRUMENT (Col. 2:11; Gal. 2:20; Gal. 6:14−15)

To end sin’s imprisonment (Rom. 6:6)

Buried together, the Tomb we went IN WITH HIM (Col. 2:11=Rom. 6:4)

So now Circumcision and Baptism point to Union with Christ who has Risen

Instead of Circumcision, it’s the Sacrament that’s given

So go baptize your kids if you have children!
