separation

-in creation, God separates the light from the dark, the waters with an expanse, and the seas from the dry land.

-the most holy place, where God's glory dwelt of old, was separated from everything by a veil.

-over and over, God calls israel to be separated from the nations, and to separate themselves from all uncleanliness.

-Jesus says that in the end He will separate people like sheep from goats.



i think we've forgotten what it means that God's people are to be separate from the rest.
