THE ADVENT TRUTH
A study on hyssop.
It is connected with blood and water in the Old Testament ceremonies. David, in the verse below asks God to purge Him with hyssop. In referring to the ceremonies, the king was asking God to purify him from sin, by the blood of Jesus. Not only that, but the word purge, grammatically translates as an on going action. David recognized that sanctification is not a one and done process. It is a lifetime ongoing process. One last EXTREMELY important point: king David knew he was saved by grace. He knew he was not saved by the blood of animals, but instead he was saved by the blood of his Savior. Verses 16-17 gives us this intimation.
Please consider the verse and SOP quotes below:
Psalm 51:7 KJV — Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
The priest used cedar and hyssop, dipping them into the cleansing water and sprinkling the unclean. This symbolized the blood of Christ spilled to cleanse us from moral impurities. The repeated sprinklings illustrate the thoroughness of the work that must be accomplished for the repenting sinner. All that he has must be consecrated. Not only should his own soul be washed clean and pure, but he should strive to have his family, his domestic arrangements, his property, and his entire belongings consecrated to God.
After the tent had been sprinkled with hyssop, over the door of those cleansed was written: I am not my own; Lord, I am Thine. Thus should it be with those who profess to be cleansed by the blood of Christ. God is no less exacting now than He was in olden times. The psalmist, in his prayer, refers to this symbolic ceremony when he says: “Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.” “Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.” “Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation; and uphold me with Thy free spirit.”
