letra de death & resurrection pt. 2 - circumcision - timothy brindle

[turntablism]
“gotta infiltrate your section
with christ’s death, burial, and resurrection”
“christ’s death and resurrection is
the main theme of the whole old testament”
“gotta infiltrate your section
with christ’s death, burial, and resurrection”
“christ’s death and resurrection”

[verse 1]
god’s plan of redemption is progressively done
the old testament is about the death of a son
and a resurrection to come
but this is seen in several aspects of the text that are one:
first in this verse i’m spitting, turn attention
to death and resurrection in the theme of circ-mcision
adam was god’s human son in his image (gen. 1:26; luke 3:38)
commissioned to reproduce tons that are sinless (gen. 1:28)
who love god with all their heart and their soul
so his just law always they’d guard and uphold
adam was to p-ss on god’s image through his offspring
but since the fall, his children are wicked and they all sin!
now they reproduce a ghastly sinner!
so god comes to abraham a 2nd adam figure
blesses him “to be fruitful” with “multiplication” (gen. 12:2-3; 17:2-6)
this promise to abram
is to resurrect all of the nations! (gen. 12:3; 17:4-5)
and circ-mcision is the sign of this covenant (gen. 17:10)
a picture of (1) blessing, and a reminder of (2) punishment (a curse!):
dual sanctions, its double meaning:
the blessing is the fallen-adam-nature of his sons he’s cleaning
thus enforcing, them to cut their foreskin
cleansing symbolized on the reproductive organ (gen. 17:11, 13b)
to reproduce image bearers
who love god, it’s him they cherish (gen. 18:19)
in covenant like in a marriage!
but circ-mcision also has a curse within it
for “cut off” ‘carat’ ( כּ רַָת ) is the hebrew verb that’s written
because just as yahweh showed that if he breaks his promise
he’ll be cut off like how when he slayed the carc-ss (gen. 15:17-18; jer. 34:18-19)
likewise any uncirc-mcised one in the nation, not circ-mcised in heart, but they’re faking (jer. 9:25-
26)
here’s the judgment they’re facing:
they’re “cut off” ( כּ רַָת ) from god, exiled, for their covenant breaking (‘carat’)! (gen. 17:14)

[verse 2]
by what circ-mcision is meant, is seen
most of all in deuteronomy chapter 10:16=
“circ-mcise the foreskin of your heart”
instead of them being stubbornly sinful and hard
without this, there is no keeping of the law (deut. 10:12-13)
although receiving it in awe, moses sees that they will fall (deut. 4:30)
“cut off” from yahweh for evil that they sought (deut. 30:1)
but god will do what they can’t
because his people—they are flawed! (deut. 30:6)
so in god’s word it’s written:
restoration and return from exile will come with heart-circ-mcision (deut. 30:3-6)
that’s the true-abundant gift, deuteronomy 30:1 through 6
the promise of the new covenant!
as i read it, my eyes get large:
yahweh promises to circ-mcise their hearts! (deut. 30:6; jer. 31:33; 32:38-40; eze. 11:16-20)
because resurrection, being performed, is essential
both on an individual and a corporate level
hence ezekiel 36 and 37
the spirit works the blessing of new birth and resurrection
because the same one who removes hearts of stone (ezekiel 36:26)
also resurrects from the tomb, fallen bones! (ezekiel 37:1-28)
and all these promises start to be accomplished by god
when one israelite turns to him with all of his heart!
all these promises start to be accomplished by god
when a torah (law)-keeper turned to him with all of his heart! (deut. 30:2, 10)

[verse 3]
every commandment—he did them, the lamb—he was given
to be “cut off out of the land of the living” (isaiah 53:8)
when he was destroyed for you
he was bearing the covenant curse that circ-mcision pointed to (gen. 17:14; gal. 3:13)
cut off from the father, stricken with stripes
paul calls the cross “the circ-mcision of christ!” (colossians 2:11)
he buried the old, adam order, then risen with might (col. 2:12; rom. 6:4)
as life-giving spirit, he’s the giver of life (1 cor. 15:45)
so “we are the true circ-mcision” (philippians 3:3)
a part of his new creation
his renewed church that’s in him (gal. 6:13-16)
raised up by his grace, so we’re able to obey (rom. 6:13-18)
and put off the old adam slave who’s in the grave (col. 2:11=col 3:9-10)
renewed in the image of the son, restored (eph. 4:22-24; col. 3:10; rom. 8:29)
with circ-mcised hearts now we can love the lord! (rom. 2:28-29; deut. 30:6; rom. 8:2-4)
we were headed for h-ll, we couldn’t better our selves
god’s solution was colossians 2:11 through 12
christ “put off the body of the flesh” (col. 2:11)
that’s the romans 6:6 “body of sin” in bondage to death
the cross was the instrument (col. 2:11; gal. 2:20; gal. 6:14-15)
to end sin’s imprisonment (rom. 6:6)
buried together, the tomb we went in with him (col. 2:11=rom. 6:4)
so now circ-mcision and baptism point to union with christ who has risen
instead of circ-mcision, it’s the sacrament that’s given
so go baptize your kids if you have children!
