Fins and scales/motivation and armor
Le 11:9 ¶ These shall ye eat of all that [are] in the waters: whatsoever hath fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, them shall ye eat.
When you have three things, without even looking deeper you can say 'of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost'. Since water is the word, the Waters, seas and rivers represent the Word of God from the Father, Son and Holy Ghost. We must bear in mind that there are not three words of God, but that all three representations are one.
Of the people we find in the word of God, we should learn from those who are motivated by the love of God demonstrated on the cross, and who wear the armor of God. [1] [2]
- fins cᵉnappiyr סנפיר - 'horned, thorned סנ bull פיר. The fish moves through the water by it's fins. It lives in the word. What propels it? The bull, the sacrifice of Christ as the burnt offering, which was caught by it's horns in the thorns. Since the thorns represent the 'cares of the world' [3], the thorned bull represents the love of God toward us. [4] The clean fish lives in the word by the love of God.
- scales qasqeseth קשׂקשׂת - mail (as in armor) [5]. The one who lives in the word wears the full armor of God. [6] Paul's source for his doctrine came from the dietary law.
- waters mayim מים - creation י surrounded by the Father מ and the Son ם. Creation was declared by the Father and finished by the Son.
- seas yam ים - creation י finished by the Son ם. A 'distinct' ו sea is yom יום or 'day'. [7]. This is the last two letters of 'waters' and focuses on the work of the Son to finish creation.
- rivers nachal נחל - inheritance [8] As Jesus ascended, he gave us the Holy Spirit as our inheritance. [9]
