Bible Question:
Does baptism correspond to washing ones clothes? (and other "washing clothes" questions) The Torah mentions “wash your clothes”, or “they are to wash their clothes”, etc. 28x. In Ex 19:10, 14, the people were told to “wash their clothes”, as a means of consecrating themselves, in preparation for the third day when the LORD would appear to them on Sinai. The references in Lev have to do with ceremonial cleansing. The references in Numbers have to do with priests washing their clothes in preparation for their priestly duties. The New Testament doesn’t use this terminology except in the Revelation. Rev 7:14 says: "These are they who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. 15: Therefore, "they are before the throne of God and serve him day and night in his temple; and he who sits on the throne will spread his tent over them.” This seems to be analogous to the priests’ washing of clothes in Numbers, as it is speaking of serving the LORD in His temple. Is the washing of clothes of Ex and Lev (which were for all the people as opposed to the only the priesthood) related to baptism? Y’shua (Mt 3:15) spoke of baptism to “fulfill all righteousness” (i.e. to complete that which is right.) Is this one of “the righteous requirements of the law…..fully met in us” which Paul mentioned in Ro 8:4? Ge 49:19 speaks of washing clothes in wine: “The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be. 11: Binding his foal unto the vine, and his ass's colt unto the choice vine; he washed his garments in wine, and his clothes in the blood of grapes.” Does this have anything to do with Rev 19:13? (“He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God.”)? Thanks......Bub |
Bible Answer: Scripture ... Mark 7:4, Luke 11:38, Heb 9:10, Rev 19:13 ... Acts 22:16 Greeeting Bub and welcome to the SBF, The word we translate baptize, baptism, et al may be better washing - our sins are washed away inwardly (Acts 22:16), so we need to show that our sins are washed away. Yes, I go back to the original for my support. Verses clearly shows that the word "washing" is a correct translation. Furthermore, there is no implication of dipping or immersion. For example, "tables" (Mark 7:4) are not dipped or immersed to clean them. These passages, therefore, show us that in the Bible the word "baptize" means to wash or cleanse or purify. Luke 11:38, the word "wash" is the Greek word baptizo which also ordinarily is translated as "baptize." Likewise, in Hebrews 9:10 we of divers washings. Revelation 19:13, where a derivative of the word bapto is used, as well as all of the other verses where we find the words bapto or embapto, give us no clue as to the meaning of the word "baptism." I have more. Use Search on the left side of the page and type in my name and baptism washing. Searcher |
