I've been looking up all the verses in scripture that talk about shadows and in context, they appear to be a GOOD thing...an important thing.
Even the shadow of death is an important realization that we all have to look at. Mortality...and the need for a Savior.
In Hebrews 10 it talks about the shadow of sacrifices, and how they were shadows of good things to come (Christ). They were definitely a shadow, but necessary before God for atonement before Christ.
Colossians 2 talks about shadows that are of things to come and it was written AFTER the cross. Good things to come=second coming, heaven?
I'm not seeing where shadows are a bad thing like they always seem to get labeled.
David said....Psa 63:7 Because Thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of Thy wings will I rejoice.
If you see a shadow of a mountain, do you have to see the mountain itself to know it's there? No. Do you still want to see the mountain itself? Yes.
I'm just not seeing where shadows are a "bad" thing in scripture. I think they are intended to keep us going in the right direction....toward the mountain.
