Why would a benevolent deity use codes, hidden patterns, special requirements for understanding, or any other form of ambiguity when the soul of every human to ever exist hinges on accepting His word?
I would offer we should be careful how we hear or say we hear what the Spirit says to the denominations. .
The father of lies is there trying to snatch the incorruptible seed, the light of God’s Holy word by which men are born again from .. .above.
We must walk by faith the unseen eternal understanding not after the present what the eyes see under the Sun, the temporal corrupted.
The promise no man has received (Hebrew 11:39) is a new incorruptible body in a new incorruptible heaven and earth. And as sons of God (new creatures) given a new spirit and heart (the seat of desires) that could never die . . we do not know what we will be .(no procreation )
1 John 3:1-2 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the
sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.
Beloved,
now are we the
sons of God, and
it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but
we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
It would seem the old testament used ceremonial laws as
shadows to represent the coming of our bloody savior beforehand and the glory that did follow . . the opening of their graves the first ressurection.
Mark 4 speaks directly. but unto them that are
without, all these things are done in
parables:
Mark 4:11 And he said unto them, Unto you
it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are
without, all these things are done in
parables:
It would appear its the signified tongue or poetic tongue he has chosen to bring prophecy (the word of God)In the end needed to hide the unseen gospel of faith from those who he has given no interest by which they could repent or turn towards him who does work in us to both reveal and empower them to perform His good will ...believe God not seen.
That law of parables is not subject to change again is ; without parables Christ our teacher spoke not. Therefore along with the literal temporal historical accuracy he reveals the gospel meaning hid from unbelievers . The law of faith .
You could say another layer of meaning hid that one must dig if moved by the Holy Spirit to work with us to find again the gospel hid from natural unconverted mankind .
Natural mankind that refuses to obey the law in so much that without parables Christ the Holy Spirit of God spoke not they must try and literalize. They simply no not mix faith the unseen eternal with the temporal things seen and heard .
They remain parables without the unseen understanding added referred to as hidden Manna in Revelation 2:17.
Manna the bread from heaven the food of unfamiliarity that the disciples knew not of. it empowers us to Do the will of the unseen Holy Father that dwells in the born again believer.
Luke 8:10 And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in
parables; that seeing they might
not see, and hearing they might
not understand.
Proverbs are moral parables .The word proverb is the same word as parable or figure the signified language of God .
In that way the whole period of time that there was Kings in Israel (the abomination of desolation) it was used as a parable/figure for that time period until the time of reformation .Again using the things made the temporal to signify the unseen eternal in the new heavens and earth.
Hebrew 9:8 -11The Holy Ghost this
signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing:Which was a
figure for the
time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience; Which
stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and
carnal ordinances, imposed on them
until the
time of reformation. But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle,
not made with hands, that is to say, not of
this building;
