As far as symbols go; they are only good for pointing to someplace you do not yet know
how to find. Once you find it, the symbol is no longer needed because you have found
what it was pointing to. These Scriptures are here to remind us of what we are to do
and also not to do; if we are to continue into the strait Gate.

In the case of the cross, you may be right.  But, with all humility and respect, I can't agree that all Old Testament symbols are good for nothing once you find what it points to, because the don't only point, they illuminate.

I know that the Tabernacle and the Festivals (which Ray has written about) are filled with all kinds of light, when one looks long and hard enough.  In fact, that light wouldn't be seen until the object the symbol points to is known, but once it's known, the symbols can reveal all kinds of details and wonderful delights that wouldn't be seen otherwise.

Nonetheless, we must all insist on letting Ray be the one to reveal these to Bible-Truths.com, not us on the forums.  George gave plenty of scriptures above that show what can happen when this is done carelessly.  Ray is many (good) things, but not careless.

Thanks for the answers and advice.  I’d just like to point out, however, that in no way was I trying to imply that any answers to my question would make or break my faith in God or the Scriptures.  I was not in any way (at least in my mind) seeking after signs and wonders.  It was simply a “fun fact” of the Old Testament that someone had pointed out to me once, and was merely a minor curiosity that I was mildly intrigued by since it yet again confirmed the Scriptures for me (much like the folded napkin did in John 20:7).  It was not something that was of paramount importance or something that I was compulsively obsessed with, and I apologize for any confusion.

Anyways, I will take all answers and advice with thanksgiving, love and peace, and will now move on.   :)

Kind regards,

Rob

I was not implying that you were doing this just noting a tendency. Many people are given the revelations of universal salvation and no hell but still cling to these things.
Do you realize how many things in nature look like a cross...the dogwod flower, lamnin certain mountain ranges...the babyloneans are seeing some of these but they are using them as "hooks" to tantalize and get you to donate or buy their books and listen to their false teaching that they have been mixed in.

I guess what I was trying to remind myself an all of us is that these things are shadows of the real thing. We are to be the light....if you are looking at the shadow your back is away from the light...I want to face The Light...The Light will show me all the "things"  I am constantly amazed by things I have been shone but more so about the fact that God is showing someone like me all these things.

Hello Rob
I hope it didn't get to you to bad about some of the answers you got.
It seems to me that there is a few people that want to make themselves feel great and make you feel
as though you have less knowledge than they have.
a poor example of christian love.  bunch of Pharisees.  Hang in there,   Earl
