"To Rob:  Ref Levites as the Rooster, waking people up for Temple Service"

 
Wow Thanks Rob, the symbolism of the Rooster to WAKE UP the people for the Temple Service is awesome!   I love this!   The rooster crowed for the disciples to WAKE UP for temple service, which Jesus made the statement in John 2:19 how He would destroy this temple and in 3 days He would raise it up....so I do see now from your post how this rooster was a symbol of a Levite waking up the disciples for the new temple service (Jesus resurrected temple).  WOW! 

I was merely making my "two cents" about the rooster as a symbolism as "future" trumpet blast of the rapture and resurrection of church age saints.    I have a tendency to view things from a perspective of foreshadowing in literature.   I know that there were Jewish traditions tied to the time that Jesus was in that He celebrated as He fulfilled the law.   But also I see how these events when He was on the Earth seem like He was "winking" at us in the future who are the Bride telling us some kind of hints how these feasts and traditions would replay themselves out in another way for the rapture. 

I am also seeing now how this rooster can be viewed as a watchman telling people to WAKE UP, Jesus is coming, and you will be transformed in a twinkling of an eye from corruptible to incorruptible.   Hmm, the symbolism is profound here to me.
