2nd Book

He comes [∞]

Discussion

Portion 5 [∞] The gospels make up Portion 5 of the scriptures. Each day of Genesis 1 points to one of six portions of scripture. Day 5 of creation points to the gospels. From the waters of day 2; representing the Word of God, the separation of the waters on day 2 was not good! Of all the other days, God saw that it was good. But on day 2 there is no such declaration. It represents the separation of the Father and Son. The incarnation is the first separation of the Father and the Son. The second separation takes place on the cross. This separation is typified in the parable of marriage. A man leaves his parents to obtain the bride. The Son became incarnate to obtain his bride. In Genesis 1 he does not obtain his bride until day 6. On day 2 he has yet to woo his bride. He is alone. "It is not good that the man should be alone". The last three days speak of things coming 'from' the first three; Lights from light, fish and flying things from water, and animals and man from the dry ground. Symbols Water - the Word of God and it's results: His people 'creation י finished by the Son ם'. Fish דג - those who live in the Water/Word. 'Commanded ד to pursue ג'. Flying things עוף - those who live in the Spirit. 'Flesh ע that clarifies ו the mystery of the cross ף'. Jesus is the word and the fish are those who search the literal scriptures, the flying things are those who live in the mystery by the Spirit of God. These come from the teaching of Jesus.
Holy Spirit as the best man [∞] The gospels are written by the Holy Spirit from the vantage of the best man. He declares that the bridegroom comes. The word for 'marriage' is also 'doctrine. Though Jesus teaches more before the cross than after, they did not understand. The bride is those who are taught by Christ. He sets himself apart from all other men by his teaching and miracles. Then she, the bride, is separated from the other teachers just before his death by making them all look foolish. Then he goes away in death, and returns to have her gathered to himself by the Spirit. Only after the cross were their eyes opened to see that he was teaching them about his death and resurrection all along. Like Adam receiving his bride through his sleep/death, Jesus obtained his bride through the cross. It is only through the cross that we are taught. The gospels are the actions taken by the bridegroom/Jesus before obtaining her on the cross. The Holy Spirit is announcing that Christ is coming through the cross. The Spirit does not call attention to himself, just as a best man places the attention on the wedding party.
Making known the promise of the Father [∞] God's name 'Elohim' means 'God separated from men by ignorance'. His main purpose in all is that we would learn who he is. The symbol of marriage is all about teaching. The husband teaches his wife. Christ teaches us, his bride. This is reflected in four letters which are formed by joining the symbols for the Son and the bride. There are four letter made from the kof כ (Son of God) and the zayin ז (bride): The mem מ tet ט final mem ם and samech ס. The mem מ connects them at the top indicating that the joining of the Son and his bride was arranged by the Father. The tet ט connects them at the bottom indicating that the teaching takes place on earth. The final mem ם and samech ס connect them at top and bottom to display that the Father's will is completed: first in the law ם then in the spirit ס. No man has seen the Father except the Son who has come to make him known. The mem מ represents the Father and the final mem ם represents the Son. They both have the 'm' sound. They are one but different. The Father arranged, before the foundation of the world for us to be taught by the Son, through the cross.
