Earl, I do believe there is a spiritual meaning to God' Word, but there is such a thing as over-spiritualizing the text, which was a common practice in the medieval church. But to take every word and give it a spiritual meaning not suggested anywhere else in the Bible is to put meanings where they are not warranted.
My problem with the second verse is not that I don't know that oil is symbolic as the Holy Spirit, but why that oil had to flow over Aaron's garments.
Natalie, may CHRIST IN US grace us with HIS wisdom and HIS understanding.
The word of God is a mystery; it is a HIDDEN treasure. What appears to be natural most often has a HIDDEN meaning.
Psalms 133:2 IT (the oil; the higher meaning is the HOLY SPIRIT) is like the precious ointment (when some one was called to do God's work they had their heads anointed with oil; which was the Holy Spirit, the WORKS OF GOD were performed by them through the power of the HOLY SPIRIT) that ran down on the beard; even Aaron's beard (Aaron was anointed as a high priest (but the true meaning is; Christ was always chosen to be our HIGH PRIEST, Aaron's beard is CHRIST): that (the oil, the anointing,the HOLY SPIRIT) went down to the skirts of his garments (WE ARE CHRIST GARMENTS; the anointing has come down to us; to make us PRIEST UNTO GOD)
Revelation 5:10 And (CHRIST) hast made us unto our God kings and priest, and we shall reign on earth.
I know Christians need unity, but why did the KJV compare this with the ointment on Aaron's head that ran down to his garments? I know I'm thinking like a woman, but it has always bothered me that beautiful garments were made for Aaron to wear as Priest, but letting the oil drip on them seemed to be ruining the garments and making for a big washing job required for those garments. Does anyone have any spiritual insight into this verse in Psalm 133:2?
When as God's child if we are in oneness Lord is giving a special blessing. Not a corporate blessing,but commanding a blessing upon us, as like God commanded ravens to feed Elijah which no body can change including Ahab (Power of darkness)
Psalms 133": Unity should be the main concern of every child God especially in churches at home. The symbol of the children of God is peace and unity. God will always visit us when we are at peace and unity with one another.
My opinion is that with unity comes strength, and when God's people unite in praise giving glory to the all might God, that will be fulfilment, it will be focus, that will be such power from the Blood, from the living Word that the supernatural power that was given to us will be activated, and that will be a true invitation to the Holy spirit. He will show up. I truly believe that.
Psalm 133, is exactly what the church of Christ Jesus is lacking today..the ministers of God lacks this, the members of church congregation lacks this.God is interested in unity and wants us to be united in love so that his spirit can dwell in the church and in us and families as well..in a place where there is disunity,the spirit of God is far.it was unity that gave birth on penticus day.
