Where do we find the symbolism in the ancient Hebrew which those who have fornicated with false religious pagan beliefs have perverted into a literal place of immortal souls?
Where do we find the symbolism in the ancient Hebrew which those who have fornicated with false religious pagan beliefs have perverted into a literal place of ever-lasting literal torment?
Until we learn what got perverted we have no clue that it needs to be revisited and set straight. And until we learn what got perverted we have no clue that we have committed spiritual fornication with the false religious pagan forms of unintelligent worship.
In ancient Hebrew men are pictured as yet being formed in a womb after the fact of their literal physical formation in a literal natural birth mother's womb.
Paul lets us see clues to this ancient Hebrew symbolism concerning the symbolic womb in more than a few places where he speaks.
Galatians 4:19 “My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you,”
There Paul speaks to Galatians who have been led astray of Christ's teachings, showing that they have become like those yet in that symbolic womb wherein the spirit of God working through Paul travails to give birth to them once again “in” the plural 2nd person pronoun “you”, meaning that the congregation is that womb they are “in.”
“Travail” - G5605 – “odino” - from 5604; to experience the pains of parturition (literally or figuratively): -- travail in (birth). - - G5604 – “odin” - akin to 3601; a pang or throe, especially of childbirth: KJV -- pain, sorrow, travail.
Already by this point, even long before I have finished speaking, some who have cockatrices wrapped around their heart are beginning to devise in their hearts what missiles they may throw at this idea. These who have cockatrices wrapped around their hearts are trees of the knowledge of good and bad They cannot be trees of life to you per Proverbs 15:4 because they are not of those who listen to Proverbs 3:18 and have not paid attention only to God. But do not worry about me. For though they throw their missiles of half truths and perversions at what I say, they know that they cannot harm me. Their missiles are really meant to harm you, the listener, to cause you to join them in their gang spirit of violence and ridicule rather than listening,learning, and benefiting. They speak the desire of the cockatrice which wraps their heart and its desire is to wrap your heart, too. Some, if not many, of you will fall to their violence and fall prey to the wishes of the cockatrice. But not all. Somewhere out there, there are those who will resist the temptation to join them in their rebellious ridicule and continue onto listen, learn, and benefit. So I continue on for your sake that the tree of life may come to be in you. And you will see that I often will not answer the ridicule of of the unreasonable ones. I will not play into their attempts to divert, corrupt, and deceive. That then leaves them only two ways to try to stop you from hearing what I have learned from the tree of life, (1) by just clutter the message board up with tons of contrary talk, or, (2) by figuratively beheading me so as to silence me, by either expelling me from this site or by just pushing to have my posting privileges taken away. It is nothing new under the sun.
Paul's use of this idea concerning the symbolic womb is seen in many things that he says. And as we discuss this I want you to be aware that here we find an idea which can be perverted and is perverted by some as a means of claiming that there was a life before we were literally born. Rather than understanding the Hebrew symbolism they have used a fusion of pagan ideas to hide it from you and to lead you completely astray, thus laying their groundwork for yet other deceptions, like immortality of the human soul and a literal place of torment in a literal Lake of Fire called by the pagan name, “hell.”
As always I will pause to give you a chance to absorb what I have said thus far and be ready to continue on listening. But also to allow the cockatrices a chance to begin to hiss.
When you are ready to listen to more of the Hebrew symbolism explained, just tell me to continue on. Else I will wait until my own chosen time to continue on.
A good place to begin to get a sense of this symbolism is Hosea chapters 13 and 14 where God pleads with the 10 tribe-kingdom of Israel to repent that he may permit the unwise tribe of Ephraim to (as Hosea 13:13 says) "stay long in the place of the breaking forth of children." There we see that symbolic womb which is as kept by the belly of God's symbolic woman, Jerusalem of the flesh, whose job it was to "break forth" (as in bear in childbirth) children to God.
