Cummin and Faith

Cool!! Thank you Holy Spirit!! Lately I was reading Isaiah 28 which was talking about "Listening to the Teaching of God". I was reading the entire chapter and the word cummin came out very strongly. Well, I have been asking the Lord to show me more about Cummin. There's something about it which draws me to attention and curiosity. Anyway, this is my own personal revelation. I may be wrong, and thus waiting for the confirmation.

Praise be to God, Jesus and Holy Spirit. Cummin was mentioned in only two verses throughout the bible but as another name in another verse. However, the symbolical representation of it is everywhere in the bible. Before I touch on that, first of all, what is cummin and what does it represents?

Cummin is a kind of fruit or seed of an umbelliferous plant, the Cuminum sativum, still extensively cultivated in the East (extracted from bible gateway dictionary). Anyway, Cummin is mentioned in Isaiah 28:25 - 27 and Matthew 23:23, while the other verse is in Ezekiel 4:9 which is known as "spelt".

Before I move on to the verses, there is no law or condemnation or whatsoever that doesn't talk much about grace. This is just something which I find interesting for more knowledge and that's all. Yah?

Isaiah 28:25 - 27

For the black cummin is not threshed with a threshing sledge, Nor is a cartwheel rolled over the cummin; But the black cummin is beaten out with a stick, And the cummin with a rod.

Matthew 23:23

"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have neglected the weighter matters of the law: justice and mercy and faith. These you ought to have done, without leaving the others undone.

As it is mentioned in Matthew, I see that there are symbolical representation of each kind of spices here. Mint represents justice, anise represents mercy and cummin actually represents faith! So, when we talk about faith, it appears everywhere in the bible. Abraham typifies faith.

Well, as to continue about cummin and faith, I know that there's a lot more to dig and I've yet to come across. I'm waiting for the Holy Spirit to reveal. Let all the Glory goes to Jesus and Him alone. Well, there's something that's stuck somewhere and I've not figured out what it is. Will update this again once I get the answer.. Hee!!
