(A regurgitation of thought/whole Bible studying stuff) The Bible is full of patterns that relate to the process that line upon line make elusive to us because we pursue them as if we do not already have them (in respect to knowledge that leads one to the understanding of self). When we find one, we must let it go, and not keep it over a day or it becomes something that is filled with worms (Job's perception of the son of man before he was turned from what he heard). Abraham's first woman/soul was not his own, she ruled over him and is every bit the picture of the city of Babylon (or Sodom (not Gomorrah) Egypt (whom Joseph impregnated) or the earthly Jerusalem/soul where truth is crucified through reason) as was her labor by thought to produce the promise (Hagar) that in the end only served to mock the truth of an inheritance that Abraham could relate to, a son, an heir of Abram (high Father). This was in picture Adam as he related to God (though of perception only, God only has one son, which is relative to every individual as the truth of self that he alone can reveal in one). Abraham becomes a Father of a multitude when Sari becomes his wife (Sarah), or they become one, having through the process of time come to the end of their ability to produce the promise (or in the wilderness, all the men/thoughts of warfare die out before they possess the land/soul which reflects the same truth as to where the spirit leads us into concerning self. It's hard to write fifty things at once. Things like this keep growing in ways that constantly branch out in other ways which do the same, much like a universe being birthed in a moment. Before long it becomes impossible to relate it without re-writing, or arranging the Bible into the form you currently see it in, which keeps changing by not changing (if that makes sense).
(Forgive me, but a little more) Understanding the language of God as to its implications of the process in us is paramount. The woman in scripture represents soul, which is inclusive of wisdom, knowledge and understanding, one who prepares the feast, or the table, the one who births the truth, etc. (or a lie as the case maybe/God’s day begins in the night, so the pattern of the elder and the younger speak to this same truth as does the darkness light is called out of), she is apple of God’s eye, her children/thoughts Jesus spoke of gathering together unto himself. She is the first helpmeet, she is a garden not enclosed as this which was unto the revealing of our nakedness (which was not out of order). The second helpmeet is masculine … when He is come He will lead you. In comparative, Jesus spoke from or as soul at times and at other times spoke as spirit. The soul of Jesus said there is none good but God, which depicts his soul much like Ruth is depicted at the foot of Boaz (but this is in the confines of his own being). Paul speaks of those who are joined unto the Lord (a feminine perspective) as one spirit, not two that are one, one which sheds light on the city/soul found whose perception is that there is no need for a temple, or for sun and moon (father and mother … see Jacob’s interpretation of Joseph’s dream) to produce a promise. Outside of this truth of a soul found and entered into is everything that works and makes a lie (in relationship to self as who we have come out of God as) though everyone outside of this reality of perception is beckoned by the spirit and the bride (Masculine/feminine as one) to come (which from here it trickles down to lesser feasts. When something comes out of something it is feminine in relationship to what it has come out of. Masculine and feminine depict truths that their genders in the natural speak to the spirit of. Having come out of God, Adam was a living soul, but he is also the earthly image/seed/man as is the firstborn where you see Sari as one who rules over Abram and by this produces the mentality of Egypt/flesh which runs its course with Joseph who Israel remains in her (Egypt) until she has fulfilled her 144,000 days. The son that comes out becomes dual in the wilderness and through the process of time begins the second forty as did Adam and Eve, or Noah (whose nakedness is revealed, or Nebuchadnezzar whose seven years brought about by his perception of the dream Daniel interprets that speaks to the masculine of this same one truth, though it be seemingly divided) and the sons birthed by the choice to eat of their own reasoning, the inheritance speaking to us as the sum of who we are as the offspring of God. On another note (but not another) 8 is one of two keys, 7 the other, they are one of many forms of the keys of David, who was both the seventh and the eighth son of Jesus as much as Enoch was both the seventh and eighth from Adam. We must remember that the book of Revelation is a scroll that opens in us in relationship to the truth that we are, and reveals the process of it along with the feasts (three speaking to the feminine, the sevens speaking to the masculine as did Job’s children who combined became the law of life, which is the law of thy mother/soul whose daughters were most beautiful and received an inheritance among the sons) in all this for Job, he does not receive a new wife/soul, but a new perception of the truth of self via a garden/soul enclosed, which is God’s beloved. Things appear to us as what they are from where we are seeing at in the moment, which moment is eternal in its substance, or in one form bottomless, and in another an ascending forever. Creation is as much the language of God as the Bible is, or even every book ever written is. It is the one who prepares the table we eat of that changes what things are to us as we receive them. Even darkness becomes light before us. As a child of the most high, we are as him, light and darkness becomes the same to us.
