Circumcision, or concision was a sign on the flesh given by God to Abraham (Ge.17:10-11) and its authority was backed by law written on the tables of stone. This is called the Law of Moses. This was a list drawn from the Law (Ps.119:89) and for Israel and was meant to make the nation tough under the bootcamp of the wilderness. Forty years (4x10) required thorough grounding in the word of God.
Circumcision consequently was intended as a temporary provision that marked by two cherubs with outstretched wings above the mercy seat. These were two witnesses from heaven, testifying of the coming of the Word that was become flesh. Presence of God and cherubim establishes the rite of circumcision was only valid in the world of the flesh. It would be removed when law was written on fleshy hearts signalling a new covenant of the blood was enforced.(' But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away'-1 Co.13:10). The reality is however found in Christ (Col.2:17)
Israel circumcised outward badge of becoming people of the law. However two witnesses in their flesh represented by caul and kidneys proved their righteousness was only imputed to them.("Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin "-Ro.3:20) (See entry:caul and kidneys)
