Bible Question: Whatis the significants of the use of pomegranates to decorate the temple and the clothing of the priest and all the fabric articles of the temple Why not figs or grapes I feel it must have something to do with the unique composation of the pomegranate. I want to use this information for a class I will be teaching next month. Thank you |
Bible Answer: Pheobe1: We know that the garmets of the hight priest were given in exact detail from God and that they are types of our Lord Jesus Christ. In Exodus 28:31-35 we have a description of the robe of the ephod. It is a seamless robe of blue and around the skirt there are pomegranates of blue, purple and scarlet. As brother Scribe has pointed out the pomegranate speaks of fuirtfulness and the golden bells which would ring as the priest moved toward the holiest of all speaks of testimony. The promegranates: blue, purple and scarlet: Blue would remind us of heaven from whence Christ came and now is seated at the right hand of God as our high priest forever. Purple: is the color of royalty again reminding us of Christ our King. Scarlet: speaks of redemption. Our sins were as scarlet and Christ shed his blood to redeem us and cleanse us from our sins. Why Pomegranates? I will give you a dictionary definition "pomegranate--When cut, it displays in rows seeds pellucid, like crystal, tinged with red. Her modesty is not on the surface, but within, which Jesus Christ can see into" Think of the inner beauty! Does this not remind us of Christ who outwardly "there is no beauty that we should desire him" Isaiah 53:2b In Song of Solomon 4:13 Pomegranates are associated with pleasant fruit: Thy plants are an orchard of pomegranates, with pleasant fruits: camphire, with spikenard," In Song of Solomon 6:11 and 7:12 the pomegranates plants are budding. This is a sign of growth and future fruit. These are just a few thoughts. Robert |
