Since the riddle of Samson [1] tells us Christ is the answer to all the prophetic riddles;[2] if the shadow (prophetic riddle) doesn’t look like Christ, it isn’t a good shadow. This keeps us focused.
If we don’t see Christ in the scriptures, we have missed the primary purpose of the scriptures. [5] And if Christ is not central to a proposed interpretation, it is to be rejected. This rule alone separates the mystery[6] from Gnosticism[7], Kabbalah[8] and Midrash [9]. Consequence of lack of Christocentric meaning: You miss the point of the scriptures in revealing God through Christ. |
