in to the wilderness
wandering
mountain&plains
seeking
directions
to a promised
land
a generational
journey
of idolatry
epic
in length
a rondo in words
of
eras of revelation
kadesh to moab
in stops&
starts
a triadic
device
inspired
by a source
so divine
songs&oracles
and mosoretic text
narratives
of drama
comedy
ritual law
in
organisational detail
values
at the deepest
level
of sacrifice&festivals
in
symbols
of
significance
at the heart
of
worship&
liturgy
in a two-way
channel
to God
*****
meanings
relevant
then
lost
in the mist
of times past
without
explanation
self evident to all
culture compliant
in
poetic metaphor
immolations&illusions
on a
road to holiness
the real visible prescence
of God
pillars&fiery clouds
His permanent possession
exemplary
in cleanliness
constant
in His care
examples of
instruction
principles of typology
in the cycle
of grace
&judgement
revealed
during
the passing of time
now paralleled
in modes
of devotion
in
His powerful hands
led&
guided
my shield
&
strong
deliverer
