    Aaron's rod-2

    While we study the Bible we need keep in mind the Pauline dictum , "All things were created by him, and for him:/And he is before all things, and by him all things consist."(Col.1:16-17) It is true in the episode where God put to silence all murmurers over the Levitical priesthood. 'By him(Jesus Christ) all things consist' so Moses is set down as a double for the Son. In rebelling against him they were rebelling against the eternal word of God.

    Predestination is not in the matter of time but is to be explained by the eternal Word of God and how it is worked out by the Son( by whom all things consist).God had earlier said why he was setting the rod of Aaron against others. "And it shall come to pass, that the man's rod, whom I shall choose, shall blossom: and I will make to cease from me the murmurings of the children of Israel, whereby they murmur against you." The man whom I shall choose" can only be in obedience to the MOU in the Abstract (Ge.1:11) The word of God is in the heart so our fruits can only be by abiding in the true Vine. We are all branches considering 'the fruit in itself' and part of the Son. He was the word become flesh.

    So the episode of Aaron goes beyond what it literally seems to indicate. The rod blossomed because it belonged to one God had chosen. Predestination therefore must be understood as mentioned earlier not in the context of time but in light of 'the Word which was God' and the Son of man who triumphed over death.

    The tabernacle of witness in the wilderness held mercy seat in the holies indicating God among us. Instead of God an angel of the Lord shall go before them. . However God has made it clear, 'for I will not go up in the midst of thee.' God did not allow Moses to see his glory indirectly. Significance of the cleft in the rock is same as God sending 'the angel of his presence' instead, fulfillment of which was in the Advent of the Son.
