Circumcision And the Cross of Christ
Every Jewish male was required to be circumcised.
The foreskin of the male member was to be removed.
The penis was to be skinned.
Some blood was involved in this process.
If the Jews were to be circumcised,
Does this mean that God himself had to undergo
A kind of circumcision?
For the Israelites were to imitate God.
Didn't He tell them things like,
"Be Perfect even as I am Perfect"(Genesis 17.1).
What form did the circumcision take
That God performed on Himself?
The male member is the part of the body used for reproduction.
Likewise with the second person of the Trinity.
He is the one who created the universe(John 1.3,10),
The main part of which is the making of mankind.
Since mankind is collectively the Son of God
(With each person serves as a "cell"
In the "body" of society, aka, the Church(Ephesians 1.22-23)),
We can say Christ is in charge
Of God's reproduction of Himself.
So Christ corresponds to the male member!
So Christ is that member of the Godhead
That logically fits as a candidate for circumcision.
Taken broadly, the Cross of Christ includes
The scourging that preceded it.
Because that whipping covered His back, sides,legs,chest
It was close to a whole body beating.
Since the skin was shredded by the hooks
Attached to the scourge,
The skin was more or less removed.
Since circumcision is synonymous with skinning and
Since Christ's whole body was in effect skinned
(Or close to it) at His scourging,
It was as if Christ received a whole body circumcision!!
Since Christ is God, it was God who endured that "circumcision."
So the rite of circumcision in Law of Moses( )
Amounts to a prophecy that God would be circumcised.
(In other words, that the Messiah would die.)
The Cross equals the circumcision of God
(In the form of the Messiah aka "the Suffering Servant")!
