In Jewish mortgage scrolls, what was written on the outside versus the inside?
In Jewish mortgage scrolls, the details pertinent to the public were written on the outside, while details not meant for public scrutiny were written on the inside. This reflects the scroll written within and without, a mortgage document that God holds, which is identified as Satan's mortgage.
Les explains that this scroll is a mortgage, not merely a book, and that understanding it requires Old Testament and Jewish history. In Israel, if a Jew mortgaged his land, the details pertinent to the public were written on the outside for public scrutiny and protection of others, while details not public were written on the inside. The scroll is written within and without and sealed with seven seals. Though God holds it, it is Satan's mortgage. A strong angel then asks who is worthy to open the scroll and loose its seals.
