I believe the first time is mysterious but the second is not. Christ was writing each man's name and next to it a coded and private word that would remind each man of a sin in his past.<br />How do we know this? By the manner in which they left the area as He wrote.<br />The text says: " And in response, they went away one by one, beginning with the elders". Jn.8:9<br /> A fragment of a Jeremiah passage may have been a prediction of the moment:<br /> "Those who turn away from thee shall be written in the earth, for they have forsaken the LORD, the fountain of living water” Jer.17:13 (Vulgate based...NAB obscures this).<br /> To find the meaning of His first writing in the dirt, ask yourself how often the finger of God writes. One of those times is the writing on the wall in Daniel of three words....those three words were a riddle aboutbthat kingdom in Daniel but perhaps also about the Jewish leaders losing their rule in the rejection of Christ...check Daniel.bill bannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09737277581167437670noreply@blogger.com
