BRAGADAYJAH 437
The Border of the Blue –
Reminder of Separated Walk,
And now the Lord commanded
Moses to instruct the children of Israel that they make fringes in the borders
of their garments throughout their generations, and that they put upon the
fringe a cord of blue.
God explained that the fringe
and blue cord was to be a perpetual reminder to them that each time they see
it, it would remind them of the commandments of the Lord and the necessity to
keep them and not be led away by their shifty hearts and wandering eyes both of
which led you them to playing the harlot and that they may remember to be holy
unto their God.
Significantly the cord of
blue betokened the heavenly color, blue, also used upon the borders of the
priest’s garment; and was a reminder that the people of God were to be heavenly
in obedience in character and separate themselves from earthly desires and
ambitions.
So God reemphasized His commandment
reminding them “I am the Lord your God who brought you up out of the land of
Egypt to be your God; I am the Lord your God.”
