#8 the intro into understanding created perfection

An impressionist painting;
When viewed up close the intended message of the
picture can be difficult to be understood. Noticed all the facts
are there but it is not clear as to what is being shown. If we
move in closer to look harder at the picture it becomes even
more unclear. Understanding the message of the bible can be like
this. Many people whom proclaim themselves to be teachers of the
word have micro scoped the message to death and have drawn
implications from the tiniest pieces or verses (or in the case
of this picture; one of the pixels) and attempted to show a
piece of the whole message without regards to its place in the
whole picture. I list an example; the lower right pixel is the
same color as the eye of a parrot; going farther I eventually
will tell you of the feathers of that parrot; but is like
picture of a parrot? While it be also be true that the pixel
being talked about here is the same color of the parrots eye; it
has nothing to do with the message that this picture is trying
to convey. When putting a jig-saw puzzle together it helps to
know what the picture is meant to look like; thus we step back
and look at the picture on the box. Like this picture; the
reader may find it helpful to step back from the micro scoping
of the bible verses in order to see the bigger picture and thus
have a better understanding to how the pieces (verses) fit
together. Far enough back that we use a telescope to see the
picture all at once so that we may understand better when we
again microscope its pieces.

Now our view of the same picture is quite different than we
first thought. Now we see objects in the picture that can be
discussed and even microscope them further but with the
knowledge as to what the bigger picture is. In this picture we
see an oyster; sitting on the sands of the seashore. Inside the
oyster there is a pearl. The oyster opens upwards towards
heaven. There is a radiance coming out of the oyster surrounding
the pearl that extends towards the heavens. The path of this
radiance leaves the land reflects upon the water as it travels
towards the heavens above. To reach the heavens above it will
have to pass through the clouds of the sky. I ask the reader to
think of what is behind the sand out of the picture. If the
picture allowed us to move back from the sand (left) would we
not come to the land beyond the sand? And cannot we say the land
exists in the water and protrudes out from it? With this in mind
let us again microscope some of the verses contained within the
bible to see if we can understand both this painting as well as
the biblical message it portrays.

does order matter?
if we turn to the tables of contexts of the bible we see the
books are laid out to us by catorgory.
In the Old Testament these catogories are ...
Pentateuch or the Five Books of Moses
Historical books
Wisdom books
Major prophets
Twelve Minor Prophets
BUT ARE THESE THE INTENDED ORDER?
SEE JANE RUN
SEE;we are to look at
JANE; Jane does the work
RUN; Jane does the running
BUT IF WE SAY
JANE;here we are speaking to jane ; rather than us being spoken
to
RUN; Jane is still the one running
SEE; but now ; Jane is the one looking
OR IF WE SAY
RUN;here we are doing the running
SEE;while we still are the looking
JANE; but Jane is doing nothing
THESE THREE SENERIOS are like what we see in the order of the
books of the bible.
IF; {and it is } the story to mankind being told by God;
THEN; should we not use his order ? The order in which he (God)
presented the story to us?
[b]"CRONOLOGICAL"[/b]
LOOK AT DANIEL ; chapter one ; and Daniel is going into
captivity o the southern kingdom.
BUT THE VERY NEXT BOOK ; HOSEA ; is speaking of a time which
will lead the northern kingdom into divorce and thier captivity
long before the captivity of the southern kingdom
These books are out of order ; making seeing the intended
message harder than it needs to be !
TURN TO MATTHEW ONE verses one to six
and we see the listing of four women with the words whose mother
was
the question i propose here is when are these women brought into
the story?
As we look at these four women we should take note that each of
these is from a diferent time period.
TAMAR is seen in the time period of GENESIS POST-FLOOD
RAHAB is seen in the time period of JOURNEY TO THE PROMISED LAND
RUTH is seen in the time period of JUDGES
BATHSHEBA is seen in the time period of DAVID; THE KING
===================
With TAMAR being in theime period of GENESIS POST-FLOOD
THEN ; we must also have a time period of GENESIS PRE-FLOOD
AND WITH no more women being mentioned until we get to MARY
then we must ask
what do we call this time period between these four women and
MARY?
BATHSHEBA being the last in the list of four also lives in the
time period of something new
THAT SOMETHING NEW IS SAMUEL a prophet
FOR BEFORE SAMUEL there where no kings and those that GOD was
using to bring his message out to the people where called
JUDGES. BATHSHEBA'S husband DAVID and her son SOLOMON will be
the last kings to have all the tribes united together, for in
the time of SOLOMONS SON the tribes (kingdoms) are split apart.
This spliting apart starts the new time period of PROPHETS AND
CAPTIVITY.
SO WE CAN LOOK AT THE OLD TESTAMENT BOOKS BY THEIR TIME PERIODS
IN THE FOLLOWING ORDER ...
1- GENESIS PRE-FLOOD
2- GENESIS POST FLOOD
3- JOURNEY TO THE PROMISED LAND
4-TIME OF JUDGES
5- DAVID; THE KING
6- PROPHETS AND CAPTIVITY
AS WE LOOK AT THE SEE JANE RUN STORY IN THIS WAY
THE INTENDED MESSAGE HAS BEGUN TO TAKE ROOT
I WILL ATTEMPT TO SHOW THE THEMES OF THIS STORY BELOW
1- THE PROBLEM
GENESIS PRE-FLOOD
[color=green]THE BOOKS USED HERE ; Genesis ; chapters 1-7
Here we have creation and the fall of mankind with Adam & Eve at
the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
The sin spoken of here is called [b][i]ORIGINAL SIN and it is
THE PROBLEM
THE PROBLEM IS ; mankind has left the [u][i][b]Family of God
[/u][/i][/b]
ALL OTHER SIN GROWS FROM THIS ORIGINAL SIN ;
many other events and sins will take place in this time period
(Genesis pre-flood) but as seen they all grow from this original
sin and lead to the destruction of the the world ( save NOAH and
his family) at the time of the flood. In crossing through the
flood waters NOAH and his family are saved from this destuction
but as of yet are still left outside the FAMILY OF GOD

the post flood world starts with the problem intact;
mankind is out ofthe family of God
BELOW WE START LOOKING AT THE ISSUES AND LESSONS
THE NEXT PART OF THIS STORY IS JESUS; the Son of Man
and just what he did
where is the story?
what will be required?
how does it work?
what will jesus be at his return ?
=======================
REMEMBER WHAT THE STORY IS ; IT IS ABOUT FIXING THE PROBLEM; AND
THAT PROBLEM IS MANKIND IS
OUT OF THE FAMILY OF GOD !
