So, you don't know. No worries, few do.
Few know? That is really hard to believe unless of course God either grants or denies comprehension depending on the person and where they are at in the animal kingdom. Who can teach a dog how to play the piano or swine table manners or vermin not to get down on all fours?
Dr. Dolittle?
First of all what stands out is that Jesus is calling a Canaanite woman
a dog which coincides with "
do not give what is holy to the dogs." and "
do not cast your pearls before the swine." This shows that lower beasts represented human archetypes to Jesus and reveals the true subject of Kosher law. Flesh, meat, represents teaching and the described animals, whether clean or unclean, represent human beings whose predilection reflect animals in the wild, as I have said many times.
Here Jesus also clearly says that he had been sent to the "
lost sheep of the house of Israel"
and them alone. This should give any intelligent person
not of the house of Israel pause when thinking about what Jesus sent his disciples to spread throughout the nations of the Roman Empire.
Dogs are left outside all night and swine eat garbage without ruminating, reasoning about it at all.
Add that to "I have not come to bring peace but a sword" (the sword being identified as a curse in Jeremiah 25:15) and you will have a new understanding about what Jesus was sent by God to do.
"
Take from my hand this cup of fiery wine and make all the nations to whom I send you drink it. When they have drunk it they will vomit and go mad; such is the sword that I am sending among them." "From his mouth there went a sharp sword to smite the nations"
I know I am going against what Jesus taught, "
do not give what is holy to the dogs." "
do not cast your pearls before the swine" by trying to get you and many other odd creatures prancing around here to be rational and evolve but even Jesus made an exception with the Canaanite woman.
