Biblical symbols were designed by God and by his people Israel to emphasize divine truths and to call believers to remembrance of responsibility to worship and honor their Creator. Unfortunately most Christians have been robbed of this insight by the historical churchs separation from the Jewish people.
Restoring the Christianitys Hebraic foundations is essential for equipping believers with enriched understanding of the roots of their faith. Recognizing the historical and spiritual truths represented by the symbols of the Hebrew Scriptures is a profound means of underscoring the truth of Christianitys Jewish connection.
Youll be enriched as Living Emblems deepens your understanding of Jesus by revealing profound truths about his life and ministry through the powerful images reflected in the ancient symbols of biblical faith.
