Significance of PHYSICAL CIRCUMCISION

The significance of physical circumcision - as to what God said - can be found in Gen 17:7,8 - YAHOVAH said ❤️❤️"He'll be God to Abraham & He'll be God to his descendants"❤️❤️ - this is the most important aspect of circumcision - often overlooked & not highlighted - but yesterday when I was reading this portion (3rd time since morning & more than a 100 times overall) - these words stood out - and I literally froze - how come something as important as this has been overlooked for so many years by so many people.

This is why God gives so much importance to Physical circumcision - God gave it as a criteria in many instances (2 from the top of my mind)

1. Passover celebration

2. Entering the Temple - Ezekiel

Even the pharisees (who accepted the Messiah) gave so much importance to circumcision (Acts ch 15) that they included it in the salvation criteria & Paul called the gentiles as "uncircumcision"

Suddenly all of this makes so much sense.

Genesis 17:7-8 NKJV

[7] And I will establish My covenant between Me and you and your descendants after you in their generations, for an everlasting covenant,

👉to be God to you👈 and your descendants after you. [8] Also I give to you and your descendants after you the land in which you are a stranger, all the land of Canaan, as an everlasting possession; and 👉I will be their God👈.”
