Judge Jesus, our heavenly Ehud, completely defeated the devil, pictured by the evil Eglon. Ehud was a Benjamite, which means, "the son of the right hand." (Judg 3:15) Jesus, the Living Word, is also revealed by the "dagger" that slew the evil king. The dagger "under his raiment" reveals the Word in humility. (Phil 2:5-11) Jesus was the Fathers present to the devil. (Judg. 3:15-18)
Jesus is the Rainbow, the covenant between God and the earth. The true stairway to heaven. "As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord." (Ezek. 1:28) Jesus Christ is the arm of the Lord, the Bridgegroom, the Prince of Peace, the fatted calf in the prodigal son. He is the Captain of Peace, Captain of the Lord's host, Governor of the nations, the Divine Winnower, the King of Salem, the King of Peace, He is the "burning coal" from heaven, the fire of the alter. (Lev 9:24). Jesus is the live coal who has taken away our iniquity and purged our sin by the sacrifice of Himself. (Is 6:6-7) He is the true Light that lights every man. (Jn 1:1-9) He is the divine "Smith" (Is 44:12) He is the "corn" from Heaven who fell into the ground and died as an offering of Firstfruits. (Lev. 2:14-16, Ps 78:24, Jn 12:24) He was the bread corn who was bruised for our sins. (Is 28:28, 53:10)
Our Savior wore a crown of thorns upon Himself, bearing the curse of God upon Himself. "Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree; and it shall be to the Lord for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off." (Is 55:13)
Jesus Christ is the little bird that was "killed in an earthen vessel over running water." (Lev 14:5) Leprosy is a type of sin, and Jesus took away the sin of the world. The earthen vessel pictures His flesh, and the running water reveals the constant life of the Father which engergized the Son. Jesus like the sacrifical bird was alive and "clean", pure without sin or blemish. (Lev. 14:4) The "scarlet" mentioned between the "cedar wood" and the "hyssop" typifies the blood of the Lamb. We are the "living bird" that was dipped in the blood of the bird that was killed. (Lev. 14:6) The priest sprinkled the bird's blood upon the leper seven times, pronouncing him clean.. This shows the complete cleansing of sin through Jesus' blood.
Jesus Christ is our drink offering, whose blood was poured out at the cross for our sins. Jesus is the annointed King sent it Zion, the Prince who made reconciliation for the people of God. (Ps. 2:6, Prov. 8:23, Is. 9:6, Ez. 45:17, Acts 5:31) Jesus was the Water of the Word from Heaven who broke the drought of mans sin. (Jn 1:1, Eph 5:26) He is the Watchman, the Almighty God, the Logos, the Eternal Word of God. He is like the delivering prophet Moses, (Deut. 18:15) who waters His flock. (Ex. 2:19) He is the heavenly Noah, the Righteous One who walked with the Father. As Noah built the ark, so our Lord is building His Church.
"His cheeks are as a bed of spices, as sweet flowers: his lips like lilies, dropping with sweet smelling myrrh." Song of Solomon 5:13
Yeshua, the Messiah, the Christ, the Annointed One was Heaven's Footman, the divine Forerunner who has entered the Most Holy Place for us. Jesus is the divine Bullock who took away the dung (sin) of the world and buried it without the camp. (Lev. 16:27, Jn 1:29, Heb 13:11-12) He was the fiery Light who came from Heaven and consumed the dust, swallowing up death in victory. (1 Kings 18:38, Is 25:8, 1 Cor. 15:54) Jesus Christ was the Divine Earring, "an offering of gold" unto the Father. (Ex 35:22) He was the One who was offered "... to make atonement for our souls before the Lord." (Num. 31:50) The voice of Jesus is the sweetest sound of all. (Song 2:8, 5:2) He is the Eternal Father, Our set "Stone of help." He was the Help sent from Heaven, the strength of the Father out of Zion. (Ps 20:2) Our Lord is typified by the "suckling lamb" that Samuel offered. (1 Sam. 7:9) The Lord is our Friend, our Helper, our Savior, our Risen King, He is the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. (Rev. 13:8)
"Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book written of me. I delight to do thy will, O my God; yea, thy law is within my heart... I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation." Psalms 40:7-10
