The doctrine of ears

1. Ears are used to indicate the function of GAP — Revelation 2:7,11,17,29; Proverbs 18:15; Job 34:1-3. The ear is used for the principle of concentration. You must concentrate on the teaching of the Word of God.

2. Ears are used for supergrace dedication — Psalm 40:6; Exodus 21:6; Deuteronomy 15:7. In other words, you pierce your ear to the extent that your volition says on a daily basis, I love the Word of God, I want the Word of God, it is more important to me than anything else, it is the only way that I will ever share the divine viewpoint of the value of Jesus Christ.

3. The ear is used for negative volition toward doctrine in the reversionist — Jeremiah 6:10.

4. The ear is used to portray reversionism leading to the fifth cycle of discipline — Isaiah 6:10.

5. The ear was part of the consecration of the priest — Exodus 29:20; Leviticus 8:23. Blood on the right ear indicated the function of the priesthood in teaching the written Word or communicating it through shadow ritual. The Levitical priest recognised that for his entire lifetime his job was related to Bible doctrine, in shadow form and in the written Word as it existed at that time.

6. A healed leper had blood placed on the ear to indicate the importance of doctrine in the solution of life’s problems — Leviticus 14:14. Whenever a person was healed from leprosy it was always a miracle. It was always therefore related to the sovereignty of God. The leper who was healed therefore recognised that God had a purpose for his life and in a sense, then, he became God’s slave.

7. David describes the ear in the sense of an anthropomorphism, i.e. God is said to have ears, and this is used in reversion recovery — Psalm 34:15,17.

8. The ear as an anthropomorphism is used in the restoration of Israel from the fifth cycle of discipline — Nehemiah 1:6.

9. The ear as an anthropomorphism is contrasted from idols which cannot hear — Isaiah 59:1; Psalm 135:17.

10. The ear is used associated with gossip — Proverbs 17:4.
