Oh, the care and consideration for details of our Lord!

Exodus 39:27 And they made coats of fine linen of woven work for Aaron, and for his sons, Exodus 39:28 And a mitre of fine linen, and goodly bonnets of fine linen, and linen breeches of fine twined linen, Exodus 39:29 And a girdle of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, of needlework; as the LORD commanded Moses. Exodus 39:30 And they made the plate of the holy crown of pure gold, and wrote upon it a writing, like to the engravings of a signet, HOLINESS TO THE LORD. Exodus 39:31And they tied unto it a lace of blue, to fasten it on high upon the mitre; as the LORD commanded Moses.
It seems as though the Lord paralleled saved humanity in the stones on the Priests vestures. It also seems as though the Lord painted the picture of a New Testament world for the Old Testament saints in the details of the vestures, as well. It may be a stretch, but it seems to me that the structures of human care and upholding are paralleled in the garments. Fine twined linen and the colors of them. God lending His care of humanity to coordinated efforts of people, taught and prepared for serving Him, by serving one another. I imagine a garden (not my garden):plants left to fend for themselves: God's garden is tied, (it looks like) with special materials. Families that God planted on the earth, held up, by lace and linen. Kept from bruising themselves on the earth in the vicisitudes. Schools, hospitals and Insurance, etc. support in the structures of society, influenced by principles of the mercy of God, initiated in Moses and lived out, by the people of God in the Old Testament and then redeemed gentiles grafted in, keep their tomato plants aloft, insomuch as we maintain the cloth. Help us, Lord to cherish the structures handed down to us. Amen.
