The salt of the Earth.

Christians are to be the salt of the Earth. Some say that means Christians are to act like salt for preservation of meat and fish for use in times of scarcity. But in what way can Christians preserve things for times of scarcity? And is preservation really the idea in what Jesus said?

Matthew 5:13-16 13 You are the salt of the earth. But if salt loses its saltiness, with what will it be salted? It is no longer useful at all, except to be cast out and trampled under by men.

14 You are the light of the world. A city set on a mountain cannot be hidden. 15 And they do not light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, so that it may shine to all who are in the house. 16 So then, let your light shine in the sight of men, so that they may see your good works, and may glorify your Father, who is in heaven.​

vayikra (leviticus 2
“‘Every grain offering you bring to the Lord must be made without yeast, for you are not to burn any yeast or honey in a food offering presented to the Lord. 12 You may bring them to the Lord as an offering of the firstfruits, but they are not to be offered on the altar as a pleasing aroma.

13 Season all your grain offerings with salt. Do not leave the salt of the covenant of your God out of your grain offerings; add salt to all your offerings.

Yes, I think that the Lord means that Christians are the salt that flavours the offerings given to God, the offerings of praise given by his people. Pure and salty.

There is alot of History concerning the Salt.

When the Lord sent a certain number of people to exile.
It was not the entire nation as some might like to infer with unjust scales.
Y’hoyakhin king of Y’hudah went out to meet the king of Bavel — he, his mother, and his servants, princes and officers; and the king of Bavel took him captive in the eighth year of his reign. 13 He also carried away from there all the treasures in the house of Adonai and the treasures in the royal palace. He cut in pieces all the articles of gold which Shlomo king of Isra’el had made in the temple of Adonai, as Adonai had said would happen. 14 He carried all Yerushalayim away captive — all the princes, all the bravest soldiers — 10,000 captives; also all the craftsmen and metalworkers.
No one was left but the poorest people of the land.

Which is something the Lord spoke of about the poor. Them will we have with us always..

Then Abijah stood on Mount Zemaraim, which is in the hill country of Ephraim, and said, "Listen to me, Jeroboam and all Israel: "Do you not know that the LORD God of Israel gave the rule over Israel forever to David and his sons by a covenant of salt?

the covenant of salt is one matter that i Know for Certain Yeshua Faithfully Fulfilled more than any king of yhdh had or could have.

Then the poor the Lord spoke of reminds me of Mercy.
Beware that there be not a thought in thy wicked heart, saying, The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand; and thine eye be evil against thy poor brother, and thou givest him nought; and he cry unto the Lord against thee, and it be sin unto thee.

10 Thou shalt surely give him, and thine heart shall not be grieved when thou givest unto him: because that for this thing the Lord thy God shall bless thee in all thy works, and in all that thou puttest thine hand unto.

11 For the poor shall never cease out of the land: therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt open thine hand wide unto thy brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy, in thy land.

the old goat judas had no clue even what Yeshua was saying because he was not one of the Lords.
and neither did the serpent know the future of the second goat Barabbas being set free.


Yet there are people who would teach something entirely different and call Yeshua cursed.
They will have their reward just as the Lord said.

Heaven and Earth.
Salt for the offering at the altar in the holy place.
Be holy as the Lord is holy.
Leave a gift at the altar of shabbat with a strength of forgiveness.

Then to the water basin to have your tears of joy washed in the Word.

Did you ever think about how when water evaporates from the sea to form a cloud the salt is left behind so to speak.
fire by night, cloud by day", while walking in prayer.
Is it not written that all of nature Sings of His Glory?


“You are to make a curtain of blue, purple and scarlet yarn and finely woven linen. Make it with k’ruvim worked in, that have been crafted by a skilled artisan. Hang it with gold hooks on four acacia-wood posts overlaid with gold and standing in four silver sockets. Hang the curtain below the fasteners. Then bring the ark for the testimony inside the curtain; the curtain will be the divider for you between the Holy Place and the Especially Holy Place. You are to put the ark-cover on the ark for the testimony in the Especially Holy Place.

“You are to put the table outside the curtain and the menorah opposite the table on the side of the tabernacle toward the south; put the table on the north side.

“For the entrance to the tent, make a screen of blue, purple and scarlet yarn and finely woven linen; it should be in colors, the work of a weaver. For the screen, make five posts of acacia-wood; overlay them with gold; and cast for them five sockets of bronze.



“Whoever wants to love life and see good days
must keep his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking deceit,
turn from evil and do good,
seek peace and chase after it.
For Adonai keeps his eyes on the righteous,
and his ears are open to their prayers;
but the face of Adonai is against
those who do evil things.”

For who will hurt you if you become zealots for what is good? But even if you do suffer for being righteous, you are blessed! Moreover, don’t fear what they fear or be disturbed, but treat the Messiah as holy, as Lord in your hearts; while remaining always ready to give a reasoned answer to anyone who asks you to explain the hope you have in you — yet with humility and fear, 16 keeping your conscience clear, so that when you are spoken against, those who abuse the good behavior flowing from your union with the Messiah may be put to shame. For if God has in fact willed that you should suffer, it is better that you suffer for doing what is good than for doing what is evil.

For the Messiah himself died for sins, once and for all, a righteous person on behalf of unrighteous people, so that he might bring you to God. He was put to death in the flesh but brought to life by the Spirit;
and in this form he went and made a proclamation to the imprisoned spirits, to those who were disobedient long ago, in the days of Noach, when God waited patiently during the building of the ark, in which a few people — to be specific, eight — were delivered by means of water.
This also prefigures what delivers us now, the water of immersion, which is not the removal of dirt from the body, but one’s pledge to keep a good conscience toward God, through the resurrection of Yeshua the Messiah. He has gone into heaven and is at the right hand of God, with angels, authorities and powers subject to him.
