If the NT interps passages of Zech for us, do we need to keep banging on about strange symbols and names and trees and mirrors? Hasn't it said enough and said it constructively already?
Why bother talking about Elijah and Moses again if there is an NT account in which the purpose of them manifesting in their future is made clear?
Yes, It is vital to keep banging on about strange symbols, names, trees, mirrors.
If you want to be able to read any of the secret saying, then you continue practicing a language that is pure poetry, I call it the language of ecstasy.
If you want to understand any of the parables or any of Revelation, you have to first find out what everything means in its symbolic reference through poetry, or you will never get the truth.
The sanctuary has 3 carefully delimited zones of holiness and restrictive access. They are in descending order of holiness: ''The holy of holies,'' where the ark and Tablets of the Covenant are kept. This chamber has an antechamber,'' The Holy place.''---Both of these inside the Tent of Meeting, the Tabernacle proper----And its surrounding courtyard. Non priests will be admitted only to the courtyard. The Holy place will be accessible only to priests and Moses; and to the Holy of Holies, only the high priest alone; and that only on the Day of Atonement. The materials used in contructing the Tabernacle, its paraphernalia, and the priestly vestments reflect its varying levels of holiness. The closer to the ark and the Holy of Holies, the more precious the materials.
The outer court furniture{alter and laver} is of wood overlaid in bronze, whereas all the furniture in the temple proper is made of Gold or wood overlaid in Gold.
The outer covering is of dolphin and under that is ram's skins and goat hair, but the inner covering closest to the ark is of fine twisted linen with blue, purple and crimson, so that the fabric directly covering the Tent of Meeting is made with these colors.
Just the study of the colors alone tells you a great deal because your mind has to go to the great sea, and to the Red sea, and to a furnace.
Jesus said,'' Nobody gets to the father but by me.''
He was literally speaking as the alter of incense which stands before the veil. You find Jesus in each item of furniture and find out what it means.
Every single item is as a doctor would write a book on Human anatomy comparing it to Temple construction.
There are 3 veils which one has to pass and these veils are doorways through 3 parts of a Temple.
Jesus said that he was the Way, the truth, and the life.
These are the 3 veils by which a person walks with God in a progressive walk, progression in levels of holiness.
Being that the Temple is designed to show the body of Christ, to learn what all the items and covering mean, is to know thyself.
Ezekiel is told to show the design of the Temple to the people of Israel so that they may be ashamed for their sins. The Tabernacle of Meeting evolved and this evolution shows how the whole body keeps evolving and progressing until you get to Ezekiel Temple where it is ever evolving, and then move to Temple design in Revelation.
You notice all the changes and differences and to learn these, you learn what the tribes mean and how to move through them.
The most important thing is the learning of the Marriage feast that all this points to.
If you don't continually seek the meaning of these things, then you will absolutely not know who Jesus is, and what exactly he came to do.
You will not know what it means to have the proper attire and garment for the wedding and consummation of the wedding.
You will no know what it means to buy oil, and you will not know your place amongst the congregation.
Bad things are said to the people who have not sought after the knowledge of Christ.
''Depart from me, I do not know you.''
'' Friend, how did you come in here without a wedding garment,'' and he was speechless..'' Then the king said to his servants,'' Bind him hand and foot, take him away, and cast him in to outer darkness{outer court}, There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.' '' For many are called but few are chosen.''
'' Go to the people who sell oil and buy yourself, but while they were out.......''
These are amongst the most important saying and the person who is running the race needs to find out what these things mean, and their meanings can only be found in poetry.
You can easily spot the people who are sincerely seeking to know Jesus and to know everything about him. Just like Ancient Soul.
She is searching for the truth for herself because its very important to know thyself.
I would say that buying oil and obtaining a wedding garment is the most two important things that a person MUST KNOW.
Ancient Soul does not agree with what I say it is to buy oil, nevertheless, a person needs to find out for themselves what it means and then do it.
I am convinced beyond any doubt that buying oil is to go and visit Jews in the hospital, to find the needy Jew and feed him, clothe him and become family to him, to visit him in jail. To stand apart from the rest of the world in close bonds with your brother the Jew, and this is the meaning of the parable of the good Samaritan.
But whatever it mean, a person needs to find out for himself because they will have nobody to point to saying,'' He told me what buying oil mean.''
A person had better find out what a wedding garment is and he had better make for sure that he knows exactly what it is.
A person needs to find out what buying oil is RIGHT NOW!
Again I will tell anyone, '' Buying the oil and receiving the oil is just the first step in a long process that takes years.''
Obtaining a wedding garment takes years.
A person needs to learn about the silver Minas right now, because it takes years to multiply.
Luke 19
20“Then another servant came and said, ‘Sir, here is your mina; I have kept it laid away in a piece of cloth.
21I was afraid of you, because you are a hard man. You take out what you did not put in and reap what you did not sow.’
22“His master replied, ‘I will judge you by your own words, you wicked servant! You knew, did you, that I am a hard man, taking out what I did not put in, and reaping what I did not sow?
23Why then didn’t you put my money on deposit, so that when I came back, I could have collected it with interest?’
24“Then he said to those standing by, ‘Take his mina away from him and give it to the one who has ten minas.’
25“ ‘Sir,’ they said, ‘he already has ten!’
26“He replied, ‘I tell you that to everyone who has, more will be given, but as for the one who has nothing, even what they have will be taken away.
27But those enemies of mine who did not want me to be king over them—bring them here and kill them in front of me.
Song of Songs 8:8 ''We have a little sister, whose breasts are not yet formed. What shall we do for our sister When she is spoken for?
If she be a wall, We will build upon it a silver battlement;
If she be a door, We will panel it with Cedar.''
But she says,'' I am a wall, My breasts are like towers. So I became in his eyes as one who finds favor.
i love that you think about things ... and how they can be ... because, Interplanner, there is more to the story ... much more ...
