8-28
Most of this post is done in a paraphrased metaphor (with some commentary). Narratives can all be done this way but it is very tedious to explain every nuance as in the first post. But they all speak of Christ and the cross.
v. 8 And God declared his son's marriage in the flesh (pursuit of man through the son of man's death) on the eternity side (east) of time (Eden). And he place the man (Christ Jesus) whom he had formed. v. 9 And he cause the ground to sprout pictures of the cross which were good for meditation. And the cross of life was the purpose of the garden, and there was the cross of marriage in the flesh made distinct by the revelation to man, and the revelation of the flesh. v.10 And the word of God went out in time to teach all the pursuit of man through the death of the son of man; The spirit filled the earth and the mystery was revealed through the word. His mystery revelation was spoken and it became four authorities (prophet, priest, king and judge).
stone אבן is a metaphor for father אב and son בן. The various stones are different aspects of God.
- v. 15 dress and keep: 'serve and observe'. Christ came to serve and do only what he saw his father do.
- v.16 And God told Christ, you may meditate upon every picture of the cross hidden in scripture,
- v.17 but the day you think to reconcile Holiness and Grace, you must die.
- v. 18 It is not good that Christ should be alone, I will give him a bride (helper עזר = flesh ע bride ז revealed ר ).
- v. 19-20 Christ judged all mankind, there was not one righteous.
- v. 21 And God caused the man to die, and he died; and he married a certain limping side (bruised heel, withered thigh, Gethsemane) and delivered mankind.
- v. 22 and of his dead flesh he made an offering of total devotion for mankind.
- v.23 And Christ said, the human bride-all hears mystery flesh of the works of Christ from the mystery works from the beginning of creation. And the son and his bride became one flesh בשר. She was taken out of Christ on the cross.
- v.24 Therefore Christ will leave the Father, and the Spirit (not feminine in gender*) and shall 'testify of the Son of God's death' and they become one flesh בשר by choice אחד.
- v.25 And the two had the flesh revealed distinct from the waters ערומים. And God's purpose revealed to man, of the two spirits, was made plain.
- The male represents those who understand and the female those who don't. The Father knows the day of his coming and the Holy Spirit doesn't, therefor the Holy Spirit is metaphorically female. The metaphoric Father and Mother are one as the Father and the Holy spirit are one.
