Chasing Shadows
When we consider the thought of “SHADOWS” in Bible symbolism, we find ourselves in Paul’s writings, such as in the book of Hebrews (Hebrews 8:5 and Hebrews 10:1) and the book of Colossians:
Colossians 2:17 (KJV)
2:17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body [is] of Christ.
As everyone knows, for a shadow to be cast, there has to be a light source, and a “BODY”, or a reality, some real substance that casts the shadow onto a canvas, such as the ground.
Paul tells us right in this verse that the REALITY, or the real “body”, that casts the shadow is CHRIST. We can also easily find out what the “shadows” are that he is talking about. Yet… multitudes of people in the religious world today STILL focus on and seek after “shadows” rather than the reality. Why is that?

Excellent study.
Great study
Nice thoughts here!
I’m glad to be able to share some of these studies with my brother. He’s asking questions and I’m not sure if he really is seeking answers or if he wants to see what I know to be truth.
Either way he helps me to study even more as well as going over studies I’ve done before, which I get more out of each time.
