So what did a fuller specifically do? The fibers (whether of wool, cotton, flax or some other natural fibrous material) must first be smoothed and aligned by carding with a wire toothed brush thus disentangling the fibers and washed, which prepares the fibers for spinning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Next, the Greek word for&nbsp;<em>old&nbsp;<\/em>(as in \u201cold garment\u201d) is&nbsp;<em>palaios&nbsp;<\/em>meaning \u201cantique, that is, not recent, worn out.\u201d<em>&nbsp;<\/em>What an apt description of a carnally oriented and spiritually unregenerate person before coming to the Messiah! They are a tangled and uncarded mess spiritually, as well as being old and worn out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each of us is like old garments that need patching. In order to receive the new patches of Yeshua\u2019s gospel, our old, carnal man must be carded (disentangled and set in order), washed (baptized) and shrunk in size. That is, we must be divested of our innate pride, humbled and brought down to size at the foot of the cross. Further the carnal and sinful man needs to be shrunk in size and yield to the larger regenerative and transforming power of YHVH\u2019s Spirit. In the next parable of the new and old wineskins, Yeshua alludes to this second work of the Spirit that needs to occur in a new believer after they have been carded. It is only through allowing these processes to occur in our lives that we can qualify to be potential candidates to be the bride of Yeshua (v. 15).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>New wine\u2026new wineskins.<\/em><\/strong>&nbsp;The analogy of the new wine and new wineskins is similar but different than that of the new patch on the old clothes. Both have to do with regeneration of something that is old, but each parabolic analogy intends a different spiritual truth because each a involves different process that with a different objectives. Sadly the phrase,\u201cNew wine into old wineskins\u2026new wine into new wineskins\u201d (the translation as found in most of our English Bibles) is a muddy one a misses the deeper meaning from the Koine Greek, and therefore doesn\u2019t give us the proper understanding of Yeshua\u2019s words. Here is the verse from&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/biblia.com\/bible\/nkjv\/Matt%209.17\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Matthew 9:17<\/a>&nbsp;with the Greek words following in brackets:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><em>Neither do men put new [neos] wine into old bottles: else the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish: but they put new [neos] wine into new [kainos]&nbsp;bottles, and both are preserved. (KJV<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In English, the word&nbsp;<em>new<\/em>&nbsp;can mean \u201cbrand new, never been used before\u201d or it can mean \u201cnew to you, although it may have previously belonged to someone else.\u201d It can also mean \u201crenewed, reconditioned new.\u201d In Koine Greek, there are two words for our one word&nbsp;<em>new<\/em>. They are&nbsp;<em>neos<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>kainos<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Greek word&nbsp;<em>neos<\/em>&nbsp;means \u201cnew as in brand new.\u201d The Greek word&nbsp;<em>kainos<\/em>&nbsp;means \u201cnew in the sense that something is renewed or reconditioned,\u201d so it\u2019s not brand new.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both Mark and Luke in their accounts use&nbsp;<em>kainos<\/em>&nbsp;in the same way Matthew does in his (<a href=\"https:\/\/biblia.com\/bible\/nkjv\/Mark%202.22\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mark 2:22<\/a>;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/biblia.com\/bible\/nkjv\/Luke%205.38\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Luke 5:38<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This verse would have been better translated as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Neither do men put new [<em>neos<\/em>] wine into old bottles: else the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish: but they put new [<em>neos<\/em>] wine into reconditioned [<em>kainos<\/em>] bottles, and both are preserved.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stern captures this meaning in his&nbsp;<em>Complete Jewish Bible<\/em>&nbsp;where he translates&nbsp;<em>kainos<\/em>&nbsp;as \u201cfreshly prepared wineskins.\u201d J. P. Green in his Bible translates&nbsp;<em>kainos<\/em>&nbsp;as \u201cfresh.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Interestingly, Luke adds a statement that the other two Gospel writers (see&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/biblia.com\/bible\/nkjv\/Matt%209.17\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Matt 9:17<\/a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/biblia.com\/bible\/nkjv\/Mark%202.22\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mark 2:22<\/a>) omit:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>And no one, having drunk the old wine, immediately desires new; for he says, \u2018\u201dThe old is better.\u201d (<a href=\"https:\/\/biblia.com\/bible\/nkjv\/Luke%205.39\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Luke 5:39<\/a>)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What is the meaning of this? One commentator states that in ancient times, aged wine (i.e., being fully fermented, and thus having a higher alcohol content) was generally preferred over new wine (not fully fermented, thus having a lower alcohol content). He suggests that Yeshua is probably indicating why the religious people were objecting to the joy of Yeshua\u2019s disciples (verse 33): because it was something new (<em>The IVP Bible Background Commentary<\/em>, p. 203, by Craig Keener). So depending on the context of Yeshua\u2019s usage of the new\/old wine analogy, sometimes the new is better, sometimes the old is better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also consider this. New wine must be put into newly refurbished leather wineskins. Why is this? Old leather gets dry and cracked like a pair of old leather boots that needs to be oiled occasionally to keep the leather pliable. Similarly, if one is to qualify to be the bride of Yeshua (v. 15), then one must receive the new wine of Yeshua\u2019s teachings, where mercy (i.e., the weightier matters of the Torah [i.e., justice, mercy and faith from&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/biblia.com\/bible\/nkjv\/Matt%2023.23\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Matt 23:23<\/a>) is more important than sacrifice (i.e., a letter-of-the-law, legalistic obedience to the Torah while missing its heart and spirit). The only way for an old wineskin to be newly refurbished and thus able to contain the new wine is to treated with oil (likely olive oil) to made supple. Similarly, a person (on old wineskin) must be immersed in the Holy Spirit to become the supple or teachably pliable vessel necessary to receive the new wine of Yeshua\u2019s teachings. The evidence that a person has become a newly refurbished wineskin is the manifestation of the fruit of the Spirit in their life. This is something that those who are legalistically bound to a letter-of-the-law obedience religious system will find hard to manifest because of their hard, rigid, exclusivistic, judgmental and unloving view of and demeanor toward others.<\/p>\n<div class=\"evernoteSiteMemory\"><a href=\"javascript:\" onclick=\"Evernote.doClip({title: 'Unshrunk Cloth &amp; Old Garment Compared to New Versus Old Wine Skins',url: 'https:\/\/hoshanarabbah.org\/blog\/2023\/12\/24\/unshrunk-cloth-old-garment-compared-to-new-versus-old-wine-skins\/',contentID: 'post-21465',suggestTags: 'New and Old Wineskins,New Wine Vs.
