Isaiah 28:13 "But the word of the LORD was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little"
Hows that for context?

I've been thinking a lot about how I have lived every word and I see how I've wandered around the desert for years knowing about God but not necessarily listening to him. I've taken the manna He has given me for granted. I've worshiped a few golden calves whenever I thought Moses back was turned.
He told me to kill all the Philistines when I crossed the Jordan but I only killed some of them. And those dad gum Philistines keep attacking me all the time...God was right as usual.
I especially relate to Judges. I've crossed into the Promised Land but I still forget God's lessons. So He punishes me, I learn for awhile again and then I'm off to do my own thing. He has to send me into slavery every once awhile to really teach me a lesson and then He will send another "judge" to help me. And we start all over -- chapter after chapter after chapter -- I'd have to go look up exactly how many judges there were but I'm sure the number has spiritual significance. Sometimes I have to spend years in Babylonian exile as punishment to really learn that lesson I was ignoring.
Then I'm just insisting that He send me a "king" -- the answer to everything -- which He has told me I don't need but I want it anyway. Then I find out that "be careful what you wish for" is a cliche for a reason. That answer I insisted on may turn out to be Saul -- a great king for awhile but not for long.
I've recommended Andrew Jukes "Types of Genesis" before but just want to emphasize again how much it has opened up the spiritual meaning of scripture to me. If you read the chapter on Noah's flood, you will never read scripture the same way again.
