Gal 4:
21 Tell me, you who are bent on being under the Law, do you not listen to [what] the Law [really says]?
22 For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the slave woman [Hagar] and one by the free woman [Sarah].
23 But the child of the slave woman was born according to the flesh and had an ordinary birth, while the son of the free woman was born in fulfillment of the promise.
24 Now these facts are about to be used [by me] as an allegory [that is, I will illustrate by using them]: for these women can represent two covenants: one [covenant originated] from Mount Sinai [where the Law was given] that bears children [destined] for slavery; she is Hagar.
(MY NOTE: Hagar & Sarah represent 2 different covenants. Hagar a bondservant/slave represents the Old Mosaic LAW covenant, written on stone & a circumcision made with human hands. All those that place themselves under it are in bondage/slaves to it)
25 Now Hagar is (represents) Mount Sinai in Arabia and she corresponds to the present Jerusalem, for she is in slavery with her children.
(MY NOTE: The apostle compares the Sinai/Mosaic law covenant slavery. Hagar was a bondservant/slave of Abraham. Israelis were bondservants/slaves to the law)
26 But the Jerusalem above [that is, the way of faith, represented by Sarah] is free; she is our mother.
(MY NOTE: Sarah represents the New from above/spiritual Covenant. Spiritually written on the heart & mind (Heb 8:10 & 10:16) made without human hands (Col 2:11 & Rom 2:29)
27 For it is written [in the Scriptures], “Rejoice, o barren woman who has not given birth; Break forth into a [joyful] shout, you who are not in labor; For the desolate woman has many more children than she who has a husband.”
(MY NOTE: In this allegory/parable Hagar represents the Mosaic covenant cut on Sinai & has NO husband?
28 And we, [believing] brothers and sisters, like Isaac, are children [not merely of physical descent, like Ishmael, but are children born] of promise [born miraculously].
(MY NOTE: Believers in Christ's death & resurrection are born miraculously/via Christ's indwelling Holy Spirit)
29 But as at that time the child [of ordinary birth] born according to the flesh persecuted the son who was born according to [the promise and working of] the Spirit, so it is now also.
(MY NOTE: Ever read what the Circumcision/Mosaic covenant promoters did to Stephen, Paul & almost all Jesus chosen disciples?)
30 But what does the Scripture say? “Cast out the bondwoman [Hagar] and her son [Ishmael], For never shall the son of the bondwoman be heir and share the inheritance with the son of the free woman.”
(MY NOTE: Those clinging to a retired/obsolete covenant. (Heb 7:22, 8:13, 9:15, Matt 27:51) CANNOT partake in the new covenant. Time to STOP beating people over the head with it)
31 So then, believers, we [who are born again—reborn from above—spiritually transformed, renewed, and set apart for His purpose] are not children of a slave woman [the natural], but of the free woman [the supernatural].
(MY NOTE: NT believers are BORN/spiritually from God above & have NO PART with the slave woman's covenant cut at Sinai!)
Bible Gateway passage: Galatians 4 - Amplified Bible
The Lord calls Himself Israels husband. (Isa 54:5, Jer 31:32)
Skirt/talith sign/symbol of protection:
Eze 16:8 “Then I passed by you [again] and looked on you; behold, you were maturing and at the time for love, and I spread My skirt over you and covered your nakedness. Yes, I swore [an oath] to you and entered into a covenant with you,” says the Lord God, “and you became Mine.”
Bible Gateway passage: Ezekiel 16 - Amplified Bible
(MY NOTE: The LORD say's He spread His skirt of protection over them. Whereby entering into a marriage covenant & they/Israel became His)
Ruth 3:9 So he said, “Who are you?” And she answered, “I am Ruth your maid. Spread the hem of your garment over me, for you are a close relative and redeemer.”
Bible Gateway passage: Ruth 3 - Amplified Bible
(MY NOTE: Spread therefore thy skirt [TALITH] over thine hand maid. When a Jewish man married a woman, he threw the end of his skirt [TALITH] over her head, covering her, to signify that she was now under his covering/protection. When we say yes to Christ, he seals/covers us with his Holy Spirit protection)
The LORD gives Israel divorce papers:
Jer 3:8 And I saw [that even though Judah knew] that for all the acts of adultery (idolatry) of faithless Israel, I [the Lord] had sent her away and given her a certificate of divorce, yet her treacherous sister Judah was not afraid; but she went and was a prostitute also [following after idols].
Bible Gateway passage: Jeremiah 3 - Amplified Bible
(MY NOTE: REREADING Gal 4:27 allegory that said Hagar represents the Mosaic covenant cut on Sinai & has NO husband. HERE'S WHY. > The LORD gave Sinai a DIVORCE! The Sinai covenant, was a marriage covenant.)
New covenant Holy Spirit of protection:
At conversion when Christ baptizes the believer with His indwelling Holy Spirit. This Spiritual baptism is performed by an eternal God via His sinless Eternal shed blood covenant (Heb 13:20). A SEAL (2 Cor 1:22, 5:5, 2 Tim 1:14, Eph 4:30) & marital protection covering covenant promise. Reread the last line in Eze 16:8. We become Christ's bride to be, the moment He seals us with His Holy Spirit.
