Hi folks… Earl is right about the allegorical meaning; however, Tracy, you are right in that I was going for the literal meaning. Actually, when you get ready for service of any type, whether it is going into battle, visiting a dignitary, friend, or foe… you suit up, right? In most cases, that means getting your clothes on correctly. So, Elisha was right in telling him to tuck in his mantel. Who knows what he was wearing before he got those instructions? Thanks for reading and commenting. I love connecting.

Adored the video – as a mom of 2 teen sons, I’m grateful that they don’t sag their pants, but I’m certainly tired of seeing that look everywhere.

Earl is right, but I think what you’re talking about is the literal meaning (tuck in your shirt) from which came the allegorical meaning of being ready for service.

Lol at the video. Anyway, to gird up one\’s loins is to be ready for service. A sense of anticipation and readiness, vigilant.

Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; 1 Pet. 1:13

Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; Eph. 6:14

In Christ,
Earl
