UNDERSTANDING THE ROOSTER’S CROW (Matthew 26:34)
Matthew 26:34 Yeshua (Jesus) said to Peter (Kepha) Most certainly I tell you that
tonight, before the Rooster crows, you will deny me three times.
Consider the deeper understanding of this scripture.
We should thank the EL (God) of Yeshua (Jesus) for creating the animal called the Rooster. Because Elyon (God Most High) gave the Rooster the insight to distinguish between day and night.
It does not take that much intelligence to tell the difference between day and
night. Because this is a natural, physical distinction. So why should this come
under the heading “Understanding”?
Some Jewish Commentators translate the word sekhvi שכןי as “Rooster,” and other
sages interpret the word sekhvi שכוי as “heart” In the Jewish morning blessings
they thank God for giving wisdom to this animal to be the world's first alarm
clock.
The mind is the seat where wisdom and understanding sit. And the two are
connected to the heart. Not the physical heart but the spiritual heart. It is
known that the mouth speaks where the person’s heart is. Either the heart is
with the light (God's heavenly will) or with the darkness (the corrupt
ways of the wold).
The Rooster does not actually wait until daybreak to crow. It senses the first
rays of the sun that are soon to break the horizon. The rooster begins its
mission while it is still dark. The rooster senses the imminent light from
within the darkness. A unique trait to this animal.
Unlike Peter who did not sense the light while in the darkness. He stumbled.
Therefore, rejecting Yeshua (Jesus) as that light that would soon be raised up. Peter
should have trusted that Yeshua was the light of truth. (John 8:12) speaks of
Yeshua as the light of truth.
One only needs to look at the rooster to derive inspiration that the darkness
will eventually lead to light, and the rooster teaches us to focus our hearts on
the light while it is still dark.
Job 12:7-10 Ask the animals and they will teach you, or the birds in the sky and
they will tell you, or speak to the earth, and it will teach you, or let the
fish in the sea inform you.
The rooster teaches us.
When a person applies the Sermon on the Mount to their life. And puts all their
trust in the EL (God) of Yeshua (Jesus). And understands that nothing Yeshua spoke came from
himself and that he was commanded to speak what he was told. And we worship and
praise the EL of Yeshua then we will not stumble like Peter. So, we like the
rooster will sense the imminent light from within the darkness. For even the
animals know who EL ELYON (GOD MOST HIGH) is.
Shalom and Best Wishes (kol tov) I offer this writing to all of you in the name
of the Messiah Yeshua.
