# '''Christ as the Word in Four Dispensations''': Your interpretation frames the parable as revealing Christ’s work across four stages: the garden, the wilderness, Jerusalem, and resurrection.
=== '''5. Unique Ideas of the Author''' ===
# '''The Birds as Adam and Eve''': You identify the birds as Adam and Eve, symbolizing their rejection of the Word in the garden.
 
# '''The Stones as Israel in the Wilderness''': You connect the rocky ground to Israel’s complaints in the wilderness, where they rejected God’s promises and perished. Jesus’ endurance reverses this failure.
# '''Jesus in Four Dispensations''': You frame the crucifixion as the culmination of Christ’s revelation in four dispensations:
# '''The Thorns as Christ’s Sacrificial Love''': You uniquely interpret the thorns as a symbol of Christ’s love, showing how they led Him to the cross and were transformed into fruitfulness through His resurrection.
#* '''Garden''': Jesus revealed Himself as the Word in Eden.
# '''Dispensational Typology''': By interpreting the soils through the lens of dispensations, you reveal how the parable points to Christ’s fulfillment of all things.
#* '''Wilderness''': Jesus walked among the stones, enduring the trials that Israel failed to overcome.
#* '''Jerusalem''': Jesus’ love for His people brought Him to the cross, symbolized by the thorns.
#* '''Resurrection''': Jesus’ death and resurrection are the ultimate fulfillment of His work, bringing fruitfulness and multiplication.
# '''The Thorns as Christ’s Love''': You uniquely interpret the thorns as a symbol of Christ’s sacrificial love for the world, tying them to both His crucifixion and the cares of the world.
# '''Progressive Revelation''':  Your analysis highlights how the Gospel authors’ growing understanding of Christ shaped their narratives, providing a unified yet distinct portrait of His crucifixion.
# '''A Typological Framework''': You interpret the elements of the crucifixion (e.g., the stones, thorns, and veil) as pointing to Christ’s work across redemptive history, revealing Him as the Word who fulfills all things.
