A STRONG IMPLICATION OF KINSHIP

(Heb 13:1,2) Let brotherly love continue. Be not forgetful to entertain strangers [Gk: hospitableness]: for thereby some [of the billions of people] have entertained [Gk: hosted] angels unawares [i.e., “without knowing it.” NIV]

 

GOD SPEAKS TO US IN SYMBOLS, AND PATTERNS OF ORDER

logic (reason) is the glue (bonding agent) that binds the words (symbols) into patterns (phrases)

 

(Exo 25:8,9) And let them make me a sanctuary [Heb: a holy place] [nine months elapsed from start to finish]; that I may dwell among them [i.e., the Beginning]According to all that I shew [show] thee, after [namely] the pattern of the tabernacle [the first Bible mention of “tabernacle”], and the pattern of all the instruments thereof [i.e., instruments (furniture) of the tabernacle], even so shall ye make it. 

1.    show = Dict: to bring or put in sight or view; cause or allow to appear or be seen; make visible; exhibit; display.

a.     (Job 33:14) For God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man perceiveth it not. [God speaks to us through the words of the Bible and in dreams (Job 33:14-18)]

2.    pattern = Heb: structure; by implic. model, resemblance: figure, form, likeness, similitude. [of what or of whom?]

3.    Commentary: “the pattern of the tabernacle” = this pattern is the second gift given to us on Mount Sinai. The first gift is the Law that will kill you, send you to Hell; the second gift is the pattern of the tabernacle, i.e., Grace, that will save you, redeem you to Heaven. “God is a spirit” (John 4:24). Angels are synonymous (identical) to/with (the same as) spirits (Psa 104:4; Heb 1:7). You (who are inside that earthly body) are a spirit [i.e., an angel]. Law comes first, you must die, eternal separation from God (“God is love” 1 John 4:8,16); then Grace comes to those who are willing to receive it, you must be born-again, eternal life with God (“God is love” 1 John 4:8,16). The complete pattern of the tabernacle is a clear and perfect archetype and shadow of Jesus Christ/Law Grace, man/God, “the angel of God” (Gen 21:17; 31:11; Exo 4:19; Judg 6:20; 13:9; Acts 27:23), a spirit.

4.    tabernacle = Heb: a residence (including a shepherd’s hut, the lair of animals, fig. the grave); also the Temple; (properly its wooden walls) [Psa 1:1-3]: dwelling place, habitation, tent.

a.     lair = Dict: a bed or a resting place of a wild animal; den.

                                                             i.      (Eccl 3:18) I said in mine heart concerning the estate [circumstance, situation] of the sons of men, that God might manifest [make apparent to] them, and that they might see [understand] that they themselves are beasts [Heb: animals]

b.    Commentary: “the grave” = for the box of the “ark of the covenant;” ark = Heb: (in the sense of gathering); a box: chest, coffin. This ark is to you either a treasure “chest” of eternal life, or a deadly “coffin” of eternal death, i.e., eternal separation from God.

5.    instrument = Dict: 1. (a) a thing by means of which something is done; means (b) a person used by another to bring something about.

a.     (Exo 25:40) And look that thou make them [the instruments of the tabernacle that symbolize the furniture and men of the Levitical priesthood] after their pattern, which was shewed thee in the mount [Sinai, which is verification of the second “gift”]

6.    (Rev 21:3) And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle [the last Bible mention of “tabernacle”] of God is with men, and he will dwell with them [i.e., the Ending (ref. Exo 25:8)], and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be [indicating in the future but presently not yet] with them, and be their God

 

 

 

THE SECOND PARABLE ABOUT FALLEN ANGELS THAT WERE ONCE HOLY

(Luke 15:8-10) Either what woman [herein representing us and the Holy Spirit] having ten pieces of silver [1], if she lose one piece [Gk: (one) coin] [2], doth not light a candle [3], and sweep [Dict: clean, remove dirt and debris] the house [Gk: abode, residence] [habitation, i.e., rehabilitate her mental residence], and seek diligently [Gk: carefully] till she find it? And when she hath found it, she calleth her friends and her neighbours together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I had lost [that was spiritually dead to Me]. Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy [Gk: cheerfulness; delight: gladness] in the presence of [Gk: in the face of: in the sight of] the [innocent] angels of God over one sinner [one fallen angel] that repenteth [Gk: to think differently, reconsiders] [and returns to the sheepfold (Luke 15:3-7), and returns to the purse (Luke 15:8-10)].

1.    Commentary: “silver” = is the metal that symbolizes salvation in the Bible. “Having ten pieces of silver,” in the present context, is a representation of the woman’s complete (saved) purse of silver, which exactly parallels “having an hundred sheep” in the previous parable that is a representation of Jesus Christ’s complete (saved) sheepfold. However, both the man and the woman suffered the lost of an “item” of great value from their assemblies.

a.     (Exo 26:18,19) And thou shalt make the boards [Heb: planks] [supporting elements] for the tabernacle [i, ii], twenty boards on the south side southward. And thou shalt make forty sockets [i.e., shoes] of silver under the twenty boards; two sockets [of silver] under one board for his two tenons [i.e., his two feet, like the two prongs of an electrical cord that plug into a socket], and two sockets [shoes] under another board for his two tenons [his two feet].

                                                             i.      Commentary: “the boards” = the 48 priest-boards represent the “forty and eight cities” given to the Levites (Num 35:7), “of shittim wood” (Exo 26:15); “And he (the ‘blessed’ man) shall be like a tree” (Psa 1:3); “standing up” (Exo 26:15).

                                                          ii.      (Eph 6:14,15) Stand therefore, having your loins [Gk: hips] girt [belted] about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your [two] feet shod [with two silver shoes, one shoe of the Old Testament and one shoe of the New Testament, i.e., and walk in them] with the preparation [“in preparation to face the enemy” Amplif. Bible] of the gospel of peace

2.    Commentary: “one piece” = one piece of silver is no longer of use to the owner, exactly like the  one lost sheep. Please note that at one time both the lost piece and the lost sheep were saved (i.e., innocent), and thereafter they each became a symbol of one of the fallen angels “unclean spirits” that followed within the (animal) “tail” (Rev 12:4) of Lucifer-Satan who is the epitome quintesscent archetype of a schizophrenic bi-polar personality.

a.     (Rev 12:4a) And his [Lucifer-Satan’s] tail drew the third part of the stars [angels] of heaven, and did cast them to the earth:

3.    (Psa 18:28) For thou wilt light [Heb: set on fire] [i.e., return holiness to] my candle [Heb: lamp] [my inner body or the interior of my house]: the LORD my God will enlighten [Heb: glitter; illuminate: (cause to) shine (in)] my darkness [Heb: the dark; fig. misery, destruction, death, ignorance, sorrow, wickedness] [He will say: “Let there be light (Heb: illumination, happiness):”]

a.     (Prov 20:27) The spirit [The angel: Psa 104:4; Heb 1:7] of man is the candle [fire] of the LORD [“For our God is a consuming fire.” Heb: 12:29], searching all the inward parts of the belly [mind, thoughts] [ “and there was light (Heb: illumination, happiness).” Gen 1:3]

 

 

Amen

 

Ps. Luke chapter 15 is thoroughly inter-related and ideally should be read/presented for the greatest clarity of comprehension in its entirety, altogether at the same time, as a single unit. J
