Light and Bread and the Holy Name
[Leviticus 24:1-23](../../../kjv/leviticus/24/1-23)
****
The words “Before the Lord” are twice repeated in the opening paragraph. The pure lamplight, emblematic of the influence of a religious life; and the showbread, set on the golden table, emblematic of lives of obedience and devotion, which are well-pleasing to God, are both said to be “before the Lord.” We are reminded of the command to Abram, “Walk *before me* and be thou perfect;” and of the words of the dying Jacob, “The God *before whom* my fathers, Abraham and Isaac, did walk.” This implies the continual consciousness of the presence of God. We all possess what may be termed a sub-consciousness, which lies beneath our ordinary sense. Let that be God filled!
What a pitiable condition that half-breed was in! May we be Israelites indeed, in whom is no guile! How they reverenced the very name of God. See [3 John 1:7](../../../kjv/3-john/1/7) .
