Aaron's Budding Rod

Aaron's Budding Rod (poem)
by Karl Sider


Twelve dead rods are placed before the Lord within His house
Twelve dead rods will taste the night of death within His house

The morning light will show the one of which the Lord has chose
The morning light will show the fruit that out of death arose

Only life that comes from death can stand firm in the test
Life on resurrection ground will work in man God's best

Thirty three were living years which Jesus walked His talk
Thirty three but then the cross that demonstrates His walk

Perfect Man Christ Jesus is in body, spirit, soul
Perfectly yes bodily a Spirit governed soul

Naturally this cannot be for soulish man stands tall
Natural life must meet the cross for soulish self to fall

Christ endorses ministry that bears the fruit of God
Christ endorses priestly ones like Aaron's budding rod

Lines 12 & 13 seem odd. Is "soulish" supposed to be "foolish"? 
I don't understand the word "soulish"! What would be a synonym?
'soulish'

"soulish" is a term used to describe carnal/earthly/fleshly. In other words, the unrenewed soul is soulish, while the renewed soul is spirit led. Hope that helps.

"soulish" is a made up word referring to the natural and all so common condition of a person being energized,and animated by their natural mind, will and emotion. A person may appear on all accounts to be on top of things, but without a divine link, dependence and flow from the heart and throne of God, such a person is missing the mark. Only a subjective experience of the Cross of Christ can change things up!
