Email from a reader: I do agree that Genesis 1:29 is a good parallel to show us that the Word is to be our food. The Word is our manna and our medicine.

It is a good biblical parallel. Messiah is our bread. Torah is our bread. And Messiah is our life, and the Torah is our life. This is how we know that the Torah and Messiah are inseparable.

Also our food reminds of the Messiah. That is why G-d gave the kosher laws. Fruit with seed in it, kosher animals with proper preparation, and bread – and that man is not to live on bread alone by on every Word that proceeds from the mouth of HaShem; and separation of milk and meat, life and death, blood and leaven, life and sin. That you can actually worship HaShem and proclaim the Messiah with what you eat (or profane him with what you eat against him) is something I encourage all believers to take a look at understanding more. In another way to put it: if what you eat doesn’t represent the Messiah, then don’t eat it.

Email from a reader: Note John 15:2, 6 & 10 in relation to Matthew 25:41-46 — If those who were represented by the fruitless fig tree HAD kept the Father’s commandments & obeyed “The Golden Rule”, then they would NOT have received the curse…

This applies to anyone who does not obey the Messiah and thus do not have fruits of obedience as defined by the Torah. Such is true of everyone who is unregenerate. And this is true in all times.
