Yahuweh is Mr Miyagi
Ok stick with me.
Daniel son, wax on wax off... paint the fence... etc... they seemed to have nothing on the face of it to do with Karate when Daniel really wanted to learn how to kick ass. But he ended up doing these "tasks" for Miyagi... Until they are brought into the correct context.
The Law looks like a load of tasks with on the surface no meaning - and if you don't understand there use all you have is a bunch of stuff. When you understand it all clicks and it makes sense.
Just a thought I had while listening to Torah Tuesday today lol

While I haven't listened to today's TT episode KP has discussed The Karate Kid in his opening chapter of TOM: TOM - Chapter 1 - 7th paragraph - KP wrote:Do you remember the old movie The Karate Kid? The kid wanted to learn karate moves from the old master, but ended up out back waxing cars: wax on, wax off. He didn’t realize until later that going through the motions of waxing the cars was in fact training him in martial arts maneuvers. Much of the Torah is like that. It’s full of rituals, holidays, feasts, and offerings that don’t seem to do much for anybody in the near term. As rules go, they’re not as “practical” as (for example) the one instructing us not to eat buzzards. Rather, they’re there to teach us specific things about Yahweh’s plan of redemption, the depth of His love for us, and His schedule—His to-do list. They’re prophecy, if you will, most of which was fulfilled in the atoning sacrifice of Yahshua the Messiah. But you're right on the money there Rob! This past week has also been good for me in terms of figuring it out, it's really beginning to make sense now.

Don't feel bad, Rob, I told a joke to a friend (Joey Reynolds) who was a radio show host on WFIL. He said it was really funny and might use it on the air. I told him that he already had, as his show was where I had first heard the joke. |

I thought it sounded familiar. Still a good one. |
