Many simply define nakedness as the absence of clothing. Yet, the Bible defines it as the absence of sufficient/appropriate clothing. This truth is borne out in the word’s historical use in the English language—nude, bare, empty, but also not fully clothed. Anything less than sufficient clothing was considered nakedness.
God’s word contains many divine patterns. They demonstrate the hand of God. Some themes, such as blood redemption and the kingdom of God, run the length of scripture. God often uses patterns of objects, colors, words and events to demonstrate His handiwork. Only God could bring together 66 books written by 40 human authors over 1600 years into such perfect unity.
Many a misguided believer or critic who opposes the death penalty will quote the well known sixth commandment, “Thou shalt not kill” (Exodus 20:13) as the basis for their argument.
