TIN MAN (SEE COMPLETE ARTICLE - CLICK HERE)
WHO OR WHAT ARE YOU PURSUING?
The world has an insatiable appetite for witchcraft.
The old film The Wizard of Oz tells a
story in the way of a parable. The main character Dorothy embarks on a journey
from the physical realm into the spiritual realm. The other symbols and elements
reveal how the principalities and powers of evil exploit and deceive us.
Everyone is our companion along the road of life.
The Emerald City is a metaphor for the New Yerushalayim, but an identity thief
(the wizard) is posing as the ruler. He's a powerless fake, and obviously
represents satan. He’s portrayed as a guide, a kind of medium between worlds,
and peddles drugs (sorcery) in the physical realm as he seeks victims who will
put their trust in him.
From earliest childhood I've always had a special interest in the character of
the tin man. His strength, armor, and weapon are under the control of a kind
heart, verified by his kind eyes. He claims to be in search of a heart, a
missing element that would bring him LIFE and make him real. The tin man's
pursuit leads him to an understanding that serving shows love for others, the
direct result of the indwelling of the Spirit of Yahusha, the Mind of the
Spirit.
All of these and more can be seemingly wholesome metaphors, yet the entire
context is modelled within a huge tale about witchcraft. Returning home through
magic and wishful thinking with our eyes closed to the evil is not the way to
life. Our home is Yahusha, and we need to wake up to that reality, and stop
dreaming.
Come, you children, listen to me; Let me teach you the fear of Yahuah.
Who is the man who desires life, who loves many days, in order to see good?
Keep your tongue from evil, and your lips from speaking deceit.
Turn away from evil and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.
The eyes of Yahuah are on the righteous, and His ears unto their cry.”
Psalm 34:11-15
