On the Fifth Day of Christmas My True Love Gave to Me Five Golden Rings

On the Fifth Day of Christmas My True love Gave to Me Five Golden Rings…

God gives us the first Five Books of the Old Testament, known as the Torah or the Pentateuch: 1) Genesis, 2) Exodus, 3) Leviticus, 4) Numbers, and 5) Deuteronomy.

These are the five gold rings.

These first five books of the Old Testament represent the history of mans fall from grace. These books are written by Moses and are his instructions or teachings. The term Torah refers to the entirety of Judaism’s founding legal and ethical religious texts. A Torah scroll refers to writings on parchment in a formal, traditional manner by a specially trained scribe under very strict requirements.

In Luke 24:44 Jesus said:

“These are My words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things which are written about Me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled.”

See how this ties in with the gift of the Old and New Testament where we need both to see how what is prophesied in the Old is fulfilled in the New?

These Twelve Days of Christmas sure gets deeper and deeper as I learn more and more about this song. I so encourage you to study more about the Twelve Days of Christmas and the meanings behind each of God’s gift.

It is truly amazing to learn about the Bible starting with a song instead of opening the Bible and just reading. It puts it all in perspective how all of God’s gifts are all a part of our daily life. It didn’t start the day “we” were born. It started in the beginning….

Genesis 1:1… God knew on this day His plan.

He even knew someone would write this song!

Mathew 10:30… And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered.

And with that I will leave you until tomorrow. I pray that in knowing that God does have a plan for your life that you would entrust your life to Him.

See you on the “Sixth Day of Christmas” tomorrow… “Six Geese A Laying”.

Blessings
