Link to Table of Contents Hebrews 1:3 (The Tri-Unity and Messiah, a Deep Scriptural Dive)
This OP continues directly from OP 3c of this Series <- Link Here
here we are still headed, as prescribed by list and continuation of thought.:
- We are interested in cracking the spiritual nut that we have found within Job 19:26 per the Paleo Hebrew rendering to go beyond Exegesis. We are going to have to Exegetically Extrapolate a matter of scripture that will literally run us All through scripture!.
- The word TRICOT is specifically in reference to knitting, but, now to retain theological accuracy, we are forced to go back to the word KNIT (WOVE) etc, etc..
We will lead this further Sub-Textual Study with the following verse.
Ecclesiastes 4:12 “Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken”
Remember back here when we discussed the very BEING of God? PT 2... <- Link Here We KNOW that God is the Groom and We are Brides The Groom is bound to the Brides SOUL by Faith that KNITS their Heart's directly to His.
8.As always, you the reader will note that I move as the Spirit moves me through this opinionated flesh and I may or may not address these points in specific order.
To Be Continued Tomorrow! See you ALL there. <3
It is a new Day, Hooray. Op Continued.
We are going to look at the matter of Man + Woman = Life
Patriarchy isn't used in scripture to SUBJIGATE woman. It is to distinguish God from Creation. God is the Creator, giver. Nothing about this is to be taken in a CARNAL sense! This is a spiritual revelation found within the Carnality of creation.
First we start with GOD. The Son (Visible Physical/Spiritual Substance of God), The Holy Spirit (The very Soul of God also known as the HOLY GHOST), The Father (The very infinite Substance, SPIRIT, INVISIBLE BEING of God that transcends understanding and comprehension, Creation, Physical Comprehension).
Now, before we do this, it MUST be known that at no time has God NOT been "A Three Fold Cord", so though the very book of Creation sets up specifically to metaphorically resonate what we are about to see, it is "Metaphor" to help us understand the very motivation of Infinite God creating Creation.
We will start with Genesis 1
If you don't believe in actual Spiritual Existence apart from Flesh and Bone, Now's a really good time to reconsider that idea. Water in scripture can obviously be "WATER". However, water is also "Spiritual Existence" and more specifically a veil between the Spiritual and the Carnal. God is SPIRIT! Does this mean that The Body of God doesn't exist at this point? NO! It means that God is being shown apart from all Creation in the very first two verses of biblical Canon. (Side note, in the NEW testament, the Water is the HOLY SPIRIT of Christ)
Also, Water is symbolic of the "Amniotic fluid (AF) is a clear or slightly yellowish liquid that surrounds a fetus in the womb during pregnancy. It's contained within the amniotic sac, which is made up of two layers: the amnion and the chorion. AF has many functions, including:" ... in Genesis 1. The creator is about to give Birth to Creation.
Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
We are being primed to know what is about to happen! The first Part of this passage Starts with what is to be known as the time when ONLY GOD existed. There wasn't ANYTHING in the first four words of this passage except for GOD. That's pretty amazing! Now, can we SEE the Son in this IMAGE? Yes and No. The realm of the Infinite is being referenced. "In the Beginning, God". In this IMAGE, to us, the reader, GOD is fully INVISIBLE. And then....... GOD CREATED The HEAVENS plural.
There is a distinct reason that Heavens is PLURAL.
2 Corinthians 12:1 I must go on boasting. Although there is nothing to be gained, I will go on to visions and revelations from the Lord. 2 I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven. Whether it was in the body or out of the body I do not know—God knows.
Paul isn't being metaphorical when he says that the GOSPEL that he gave was DIRECTLY revealed to him by Jesus Christ. He literal shows us in 2 Corinthians 12 that he was face to face with God to receive the Gospel, IN HEAVEN the very DWELLING place of GOD.
So, when Genesis says Heaven's, it isn't just talking about the amazing expanse that we call Space, and what we call our SKY. but what we know as LITERAL HEAVEN, the Dwelling Place of GOD! We see God as Homeless, so to speak, in the first four words of Genesis 1. God is fully at peace with HIMSELF, in the expanse of Infinity... and then... HE CREATES.
All of this is Happening through HIS SON. Now, Heaven is being created. Why is God suddenly creating a place to Dwell? Because He is about to create Angels and Men! But.... How would I know that ANGELS haven't been created yet?
It's easy to forget that we are studying HEBREWS, but here's your answer, right out of Hebrews 1
Hebrews 1:14 Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?What was God's PURPOSE of creating the Angels? Angel's were always created as Minister's of God to Mankind. They were "GUARDIANS" of mankind.Full disclaimer... this particular Angel is a fair snapshot of an Angel as they were created, initially. This particular angel did not maintain his initial station of God granted Position. But, he started out just like all of the other angels.
Ezekiel 28:12 You were the seal of perfection, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty. .... You were an anointed guardian cherub, for I had appointed you.
Guardian of what? HUMANITY and CREATION. Angels are Ministering Spirits! Did God PLAN for Creation to abuse it’s God Blessed Self Sovereignty? He was fully prepared for Creation to REBEL.
Did God DESIRE for Creation to REBEL? No! God had plans within plans within plans. It's time to stop pretending that God is a linear thinker! If us, who are made in God's VERY Image are capable of abstract thinking, how much more complex and incomprehensibly beyond our understanding is the intellect of God?
Am I "Anthropomorphizing" God? Gasp!
Um, that very statement is pretty ARROGANT! God had the IMAGE of Emotion, Thought, Planning, Creativity, Love, Interaction, Humor, Anger, etc... etc... LONG before we were EVER a mere twinkle in God's Eye!
God's very first Given Name when properly studied out means... I Am The LIVING, BREATHING GOD this Is what I AM. He's the IMAGE, NOT US. We were made in HIS IMAGE! God has a.... PERSONALITY! When has GOD not had a PERSONALITY? NEVER!
Genesis 1:2 Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness covered the surface of the watery depths, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters.Remember the Equation I was discussing? I refuse to start showing it's repetition until we Show GOD FIRST! Now, here is where it BEGINS.THE SPIRIT OF GOD WAS HOVERING ABOVE THE SURFACE OF THE WATERS.The Hebrew word 'merahefet' (HOVERING) comes from the verb, meaning to hover, or move above something. Another example of the use of the word is in Deuteronomy 32:11, describing an eagle hovering over its young.Deuteronomy 32:11 like an eagle that stirs up its nest and hovers over its young, that spreads its wings to catch them and carries them aloft.The actual Hebrew rendering of Genesis 2 is NOT the EARTH as in PLANET EARTH. It is to denote our entire UNIVERSE. This verse is written from God's Perspective! Certainly, God looks INTO the Universe, excited to Create Mankind and Angel Kind, but... He hasn't done that, yet. The very rendering of the Hebrew is saying that God is Hovering over Creation as a MOTHER Eagle spreading her wings out to PROTECT and GUIDE her YOUNG!Another aspect of this verse that will be missed by folks that don't by Faith BELIEVE that there is a LITERAL SPIRITUAL Realm that is unseeable, Dimensionally Speaking, to us, is that the WATER is signet of the Veil between Heaven and ALL Creation! Two separate Realms! Our UNIVERSE consists of 2 heavens, to us. The Heaven that makes up the Sky and the Heaven that we refer to as OUTER SPACE. The THIRD Heaven refers to a Dimension that is separate and NOW, unseeable to us.REMEMBER when Jesus was WALKING on Water? All of Atheism sure does! Whenever books or movies are made, it's not uncommon to see a reference to this moment! Some may be a secret nod to our Creator, while others are intended to poke fun at Christianity. Only God knows the heart on those matters.Why is that an important passage? Because it's not the first time we've seen this imagery! When John the Baptizer Baptizes Jesus, The Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit of God) appears above Jesus, in between the VOICE of the Father from Heaven and Jesus.This is a 3 fold occurance!1: The Spirit of God is Hovering above the Water2: The Dove is inbetween The Father and The Son3: The Son is now HOVERING above the WATER of Earth, yet in a Hover that makes physical contact with THE WATER.Do we need Pictures to show what God is trying to SHOW us? It may help! I'll go see if I can find some and place them side by side.
Father + Holy Spirit = The Son (Not Created, Just taught in Metaphor, not denoting Gender to the Holy Spirit or the false idea that the Son is Created, BECAUSE HE IS NOT A CREATION, just pointing this out to help grasp what scripture is SHOWING US!I am a Man and I have no DESIRE to be a WOMAN, yet SPIRITUALLY, I am Gendered "Female" as the BRIDE of God that is Part of the MANY BRIDES that Make up the ONE BRIDE. God is Always Spiritually THE MAN in ALL of Scripture, unless HE Spiritually Genders as FEMALE to teach a LESSON. Example: The Maternal MOTHER EAGLE, A HEN GATHERING HER CHICKS.Why is this so important that we are discussing it in the midst of a Hebrews study? We are still anchored to Hebrews 1:3 which states that The Son is the very "Effulgence" of the Father's Glory. God Desires to be KNOWN as deeply as HE desires to KNOW us. God isn't a Helicopter Parent. He Hover's in a way that awaits our beckoning unto Him. He REPONDS. Now, when all terribleness breaks out where Creation is headed for Global Calamity, God swoops down as that MOTHER Eagle and INTERCEDES. We see this pattern from Genesis to Revelation. God does this for individuals off and on throughout all history, but we aren't God, we don't know Human HEARTS (I'm not talking about the thing that palpitates our very blood throughout our MORTAL BODIES). God does what God does for ONE reason and ONE reason ALONE. We know this, because throughout ALL scripture and especially via HIS Pre-Gospel moment of INCARNATION where HE lays the very FOUNDATION of the GOSPEL, HE reveals that HE, GOD is LOVE! That is the core characteristic of HIS PERSONALITY. It's so CONSUMING to HIS very BEING that Everything that HE does Flows from HIS storehouse of Love. You will find that God's JUSTICE and LOVE aren't Separate ASPECTS of HIS Being. God's Justice is a subset or branch of HIS LOVE! God brings Justice out of LOVE.Now, in respect to the repeating equation we see within the Genesis account, we see that Darkness is a metaphor of the absence of God. God is LIGHT (LIFE), DARKNESS is a METAPHORE for the ABSENCE of God. Does this mean that DARKNESS is a place that God can't go within? NOPE! It means that DARKNESS is a metaphor for that which is actively seeking to be outside of the presence of God. How can we be sure of this? Wherever God is not, there is DARKNESS, wherever GOD is there is LIGHT and LIFE.We start the first 2 verses of Genesis Chapter 1 seeing God within INFINITY. God then Creates! Where there was NO-THING, or to be more specific, a PLACE that hadn't ever existed yet, suddenly EXISTS because of GOD! Infinity becomes Designated Heaven, while What has a BEGINNING and is subject to God's Infinite Being, by being Dependent on God to Exist, becomes an IMMORTAL CREATION self contained within itself, yet MORTAL to it's Creator.This is What Genesis 1:2 Reveals.Genesis 1:2 Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness covered the surface of the watery depths, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters.Here we see two subsets of Theological, Scripturally revealed Theorems.God wants us to understand that He is Loving and Nurturing, with NO-THING but Good Will towards MEN... and more specifically ALL OF CREATION. By seeing that God, TRIUNE God, Body, Soul and Spirit GOD, HIMSELF is KNIT together as a 3 fold Cord of LOVE.The Son Loves His Father and the Father Loves His Son. The Father and Son Love their HOLY SPIRIT, As the HOLY SPIRIT Loves HIS FATHER AND SON. Notice the intentional Gendering to denote that ALL are GOD!Now, because we are VISUALLY SHOWN that the SPIRIT of God (The Father) is HOVERING above the "Waters" (Veil) that Separate Literal Heaven from Earth ... we aren't SEEING the FATHER, but THE HOLY Spirit of the Father and the Son. This is how the Gendering get's Spiritually given as a MOTHER EAGLE to the HOLY SPIRIT in this particular place!Creation is currently DEAD and VOID of the PRESENCE OF GOD.Finally! The extrapolated Theological Theorems!Father + Mother = Son (Spiritual Metaphor of Romantic Love that Creates)Need a proof verse?Colossians 1:16 For by HIM (The SON) were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created BY HIM (THE SON), and for HIM (THE SON):....What was CREATED FOR HIM?Heaven and ALL CREATION!What was the motivation?LOVE and the Giving of LOVE (Relationship)Why was creation allowed to CHOOSE to be independent of God, upon INCEPTION?LOVEDoes LOVE FORCE ITSELF?NEVER!Second Theorem:Creator + Creation = LIFEProofing the Theorem:Creation - Creator = DeathNow we are ready to follow through into Genesis to see how this plays out and proofs itself!
OP Pt. 3d concluded! To be continued on OP Pt. 3e! The Theorems will be placed into Theological Action.
