The picture shows ripe pomegranates.
In the Bible, they symbolize obedience.
Obedience to the statutes of the Law of Moses.
Obedience for the Law is the only way to earthly peace.
Obedience for Adonai Yeshua is the only way to heavenly peace.
Because it has been a highly valued fruit in Judaism as follows:
Pomegranates play an important role as a symbol of righteousness in Judaism, as they supposedly contain 613 seeds, which correspond to the 613 commandments of the Torah. Thus, at Rosh Hashanah (Jewish New Year), Jews eat this fruit one seed at a time, for as many wishes as possible to be fulfilled.
It was also the only fruit whose image appeared in the hem of the high priest's robe and cast as ornaments covering the spherical heads of the two pillars of the temple built by Solomon for Yehowah. The names of the pillars were Jakin and Boaz. The names mean "He strengthens" and "He has power". (2 Chronicles 3:17)
The Law of Moses is perfect and we should keep it holy, even though we cannot be saved by it. But by following it, nations could live in peace with each other as well as all individuals. Because peoples don't want to follow it, wars will be fought until the bitter end. After that, Sar Shalom, the Prince of Peace, Adonai Yeshua will bring earthly peace to all nations for a thousand years! HalleluYah!
A wonderful memory
At one point, when I was walking the rough road of life, I understood that I cannot succeed in the life of sanctification on my own, no matter how hard I compete. I was disappointed and restless inside. Even though I relied on Adonai Yeshua with all my heart, I still did not experience the inner peace that I had experienced when I came to faith.
Adonai Yeshua saw my difficulties and inner restlessness. He led me to listen to a beautiful spiritual song, and when I listened to it, I felt a deep peace and gratitude based on his work of redemption. Decades later, that song has refreshed and calmed me time and time again.
The lyrics of the song are as follows:
" Bells and angel choir call to peace the child from the earth.
After the pain, anxieties and the storm, I can come to Yeshua.
The gates of heaven are then opened, I will cry my last tears.
On your bosom I lay my head exhausted from the battles.
Hope was often extinguished while walking in the wilderness,
but then I always got new strength from Yeshua HaMashiach.
The greatest sacrifice you gave: Yeshua when you died for me.
So I will give everything to you, Adonai Yeshua, completely!
I found peace only here: "Everything is already completed."
Everything has already been completed for me at Calvary.
It's completed, it's completed, it's all already completed.
I found peace only here: "Everything is already completed!"
Let the cross be bright, when I can leave the land of sin.
I can move from the pain of the earth to the peace of the sky.
Let me remember then: "Everything is already completed."
Everything has already been completed for me at Calvory."
We had a substitute at Calvary
We, the chosen and loved ones of the New Covenant, can indeed rely on our Savior Hamashiach Yeshua in everything. He suffered in our stead on the cross of Calvary and fulfilled the statutes of the Law of Moses that no other human can fulfill. Yeshua opened a living way through his own blood to the Holy of Holies, to the glory of heaven, to him and our Father. Let us always trust in Yeshua with all our hearts!
