The Bible has three main divisionsand each is further divided in two:
[[File:The book of the Father:The book of the Son :The book of the Holy GhostBible.jpg]]
=[[The book of the Father]]=
Genesis is the story of the fathers.
==[[Motif: First and second sons|Second son motif]]==
[[Genesis]] has two groups of father fathers which have the same pattern: the original father has a son who dies desolate, and the second son is fruitful and multiplies. (In Hebrew a grandson can be referred to as a son). This usurping second son motif which is set in motion in Genesis, will be repeated throughout scripture.
:God, Adam and Noah are the ancient fathers of the nations. God has a son, Adam, who sinned, and all his children are killed. But Noah is preserved and from him all the nations of the earth come to be.
:Abraham, Isaac and Jacob are the fathers of the nation Israel. Abraham has a son, Isaac, who is figuratively put to death. But Jacob has 12 sons who become the 12 tribes of Israel.
::The firmament is called 'Heaven', so Noah, as the same type as the firmament can be said to be a heavenly father.
==[[Seven]]==
[[Seven]] represents completeness in popular typology. We can specifically say that it is the unity of the heavenly fathers and the earthly fathers.
:[[1Jo 5:7]] For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
:[[1Jo 5:8]] And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.
The lamp had seven lamps:
:[[Ex 25:31]] ΒΆ And thou shalt make a candlestick [of] pure gold: [of] beaten work shall the candlestick be made: his shaft, and his branches, his bowls, his knops, and his flowers, shall be of the same.
:[[Ex 25:32]] And six branches shall come out of the sides of it; three branches of the candlestick out of the one side, and three branches of the candlestick out of the other side:
:[[Ex 25:37]] And thou shalt make the seven lamps thereof: and they shall light the lamps thereof, that they may give light over against it.
The book concludes with the story of Joseph, the son, who brings the two sets of sons together. As ruler of Egypt during a famine, he brought all the people together in Egypt. This prefigures the cross where the Messiah brings men from all nations together. =[[The book of the Son]]=
The story of Israel is the story of the Son of God. Speaking of Israel God said:
:[[Ex 4:23]] And I say unto thee, Let my son go, that he may serve me: and if thou refuse to let him go, behold, I will slay thy son, [even] thy firstborn.
There are two Israel's represented in the story. The first ones dies in the desert and the second one is fruitful.
:Israel in the desert represents the flesh, or the [[first son]](Israel):Israel in the promised land represents the spirit or the [[second son]](church)
==[[The book of the Holy Ghost=]]=
The New Testament has two parts representing the [[first and second sons]]:
:The gospels tell of Jesus in the flesh who died alone and desolate.
