THE KEYS TO UNLOCKING THE MYSTERY PART 4

In the message of the Holy Scriptures many symbols were used to represent the object concepts such as: adultery and harlotry as being unfaithful in covenants specifically the Marriage Covenant; beast as 'ungodly' kings or nations; etc. These symbols were used to represents concepts, attitudes, attributes, personages and entities. This is a common practice in every human language which uses various illustrative representations in figure of speech to more effectively get the message across to the intended audience.

Here we will discuss some of the symbols used in the records of the Holy Scriptures. We will however not discuss those used in direct metaphors as those are common usage and no special interpretations of what the symbols represented are needed. Be aware that those symbols were also expressed as their literal meanings. For an example a mountain might be used to refer symbolically to a nation but it was also used in its literal concept as a physical mountain. Also be sure to understand that they are no magical, miraculous or special powers inherent in these symbols and numbers. Neither is there any inherent evil or good in those symbols, they were just symbols used in communication. Their sole purpose was to more graphically convey the Bible message concepts so the Elect of GOD can understand the working out of the will and purpose of GOD for mankind. For this very same reason many visions given by GOD were in symbols.

The earliest point in the Bible where symbols were used was in Genesis 2.

Thus the heavens and the earth, and all the host of them, were finished. And on the seventh day God ended His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done. Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it He rested from all His work which God had created and made.
Genesis 2:1 – 3

Here the number Seven was used to denote complete, completely or completeness. The numerical multiples of seven also carried this meaning in increasing intensities. The seven day week is also representative of the seven thousand years plan of GOD  for all mankind to be made perfect or failing which (through disobedience) to be totally destroyed. You can read more about this seven thousand years plan in the chapter 'The Sabbath And The Ordained Feasts' of this book. Multiples of seven (Matthew 18:21 - 22) were also used as amplification, intensification or magnification of the same complete and completely concept.

Following that we have the two literal trees which were symbolic of life and death. The Tree of Life and The Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. I won’t further discuss these as I have already covered them in the Genesis chapter of this book.

Next we have the serpent. In the Genesis chapter of the book I had explained that the serpent who spoke with Eve was not Satan appearing in the form of a snake but that Satan clandestinely make used of a serpent to get to Eve. But because he did so, the serpent became a symbol used to represent Satan.

Satan: Another symbol used to reference Satan was another beast, a dragon (Revelation 12:9). Elsewhere too the symbol of a mysterious animal was used as a reference to Satan and that was Leviathan (Isaiah 27:1). Satan was also referenced with the terms: the adversary (1 Peter 5:8), the enemy (Matthew 13:28, 39), the father of lies (Ephesians 2:2), the god of this age (2 Corinthians 4:4), the prince of the power of the air (Ephesians 2:2), the serpent of old (Revelation 12:9; 20:2), the wicked one (Matthew 13:19, 38), the ruler of this world (John 14:30).

We won’t look at the dream symbols of the Pharaoh of Egypt as those do not have a significant bearing on the focus and main message of the Christian Bible.

Other Symbols. 

The seven Holy Days or Feasts and the Sabbath of GOD represent respectively:
1. The instituting of the New Testament Covenant in the Passover, JESUS being the very expression of this Passover as ‘The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world’ (John 1:29).
2. The need for Christians to be without sins or to remove sins from ourselves. During this seven day period, yeast (leaven but also other 'leavening' agents) is used to symbolize sins particularly pride.
3. The founding of the Church of GOD which also represents the Elect who are to be 'First Fruits' to GOD just as CHRIST is the first of these First Fruits.
4. The Day of the LORD a one year long event which is JESUS CHRIST Second Advent to destroy the wicked.
5. The imprisonment of Satan for a thousand years. The thousand years conicide with item 6 below.
6. The thousand years of CHRIST rule. This is also represented by the weekly Sabbath (Saturday).
7. Lastly the judgment of Satan and all the wicked. This is also the period where all of mankind who had ever lived will be resurrected back to life for judgment and to be offered the grace that comes through the New and Everlasting Passover Covenant.

The golden statue of Nebuchadnezzar’s dream symbolized a track of GOD’s plan involving four ‘world’ ruling empire that culminates with GOD setting up HIS Kingdom on earth to rule over man for a thousand years and beyond.

The four horsemen of the Apocalypse. These four horsemen symbolized all the out-of-the-normal causes of death and suffering on the earth. This represent respectively: pagan religious proliferation particularly counterfeit Christianity (Matthew 24:4 – 5); wars and conflicts; famines; and pestilence and death by other ‘non natural’ causes. In concept all the four horsemen represent the death toll or lost of human life resulting from all these four causes.

Adultery: The Spiritual concept of adultery when referencing the nation or people of GOD is the worship of idols or pagan deities, or having alliances with pagan nations for protection or mutual defence. Conceptually it is looking to and seeking prosperity and security from those other than GOD. The concept is that of unfaithfulness to GOD as a wife by covenant is towards a husband. See also the entry:  Fornication.

Beast: Ungodly (pagan or heathen) nation or empire or its king or ruler. The main concept is that of an authority that is not of GOD. One of the central doctrines of the Holy Scriptures is that of GOD as KING (RULER, OWNER and MASTER) over all HIS creation. That was the reason in the Antediluvian World there was no King or armies just families of man descended from Adam (which is the literal word for man in the Hebrew text). After the Antediluvian Age when Nimrod set himself up as a King, he did so in rebellion against GOD. That marked the milestone event that saw the world of mankind becoming cut off from GOD rebelling and rejecting GOD as their GOD and KING. From that point, nations of the world began each with their own kings. All these nations were (and are) therefore ungodly or pagan in nature and were symbolized in the prophetic perspective as animals or beasts. This also ties with man made by GOD in HIS image and likeness as when they rejected HIM they for all intent and purpose has become nothing more than an animal with not future in HIS forever DIVINE FAMILY, their lives as temporary and meaningless in the greater scheme of things. 

Blindness: Ignorance and/or stupidity.

Cup: Portion in life or portion given or assigned by GOD either as reward or punishment (judgment).

Day of The LORD: A ‘year of recompense’ (Isaiah 34:8) or GOD vengeance of punishing plagues on the nations for persecuting, torturing and murdering HIS Elect or Saints (Revelation 6:9 - 11). This is a one year long event that is the latter end of the three and half years Tribulation (Revelation 12:13 - 14, 17; 11:3).

Eagle’s wings: Through, according or by GOD miraculous (Exodus 19:4) purpose, act, providence, intervention, protection and/or deliverance. Wings convey the meaning of covering as a protection (Psalm 17:8; 36:7; 57:1; 61:4; 91:4; Malachi 4:2). Wings of other birds and not that of an eagle refers to acts of other Spirit beings that have authority over the realm of mankind (Zechariah 5:9) but were not acting according to the direction or command of GOD.

Family or household: See also entry: King.

Father: Genealogical father or someone whom one follows or obeys such as in a discipleship or internship or as a protege. See also the item Son.

Flood: Army.

Fornication: Fornication has a slightly different context from adultery in that it referenced the betrothed or unmarried maiden rather than the wife. As a Biblical symbol it references the practices of those who are pretenders or are false disciples or are false leaders and also a counterfeit church or churches. The Church of GOD is the betrothed of JESUS and will 'marry' HIM at HIS return (Revelation 19:7). This is from a Spiritual context (Ephesians 5:31 - 32). In the New Testament peiod the term 'fornication' is used to reference all those who make use of the name of the JESUS CHRIST of claim allegiance to HIM but are not faithful to HIM. See also the entry: Adultery. 

Garment or clothing: The Righteousness of GOD or the lack of. This depends on the garment or lack of it (nakedness).

Generation: A prophetic generation is equivalent to a hundred years. And a literal (from Biblical perspective) is one hundred and twenty years. The term age have sometimes been translated into the word generation.

Goats: Represents personages (includes angels, men and women) who are rebelliousness, self centered and individualistic.

Harlot: A prostitute who pretends to be a faithful betrothed virgin that is a whore who counterfeits or claims herself as a faithful wife or as a faithful betrothed virgin.

Harlotry: The people of GOD who commits Spiritual adultery by having alliances with pagan nations for security or advancement in life, or those who worship pagan deities or participate in pagan religious practices. See also entry: Fornication.

Horn: Power or ruling authority. Also refers to a king or political ruler in the context of the one who exercise or yield the authority.

Jezebel: A a woman who holds and yields power through her strong influence over her husband and uses this influence and power to cause GOD's people to stray from GOD into idolatry and paganism.

King: The king and the nation are synonymous. Nation also includes the citizenry. Nation is also used as a reference to the extension of the family. From a Biblical perspective the focus is on the one holding or yielding authority or power, the citizenry are the subjects or properties of the King. This is one of the most important concepts in the Holy Scripture, that the ruler or the one exercising authority is the master and owner of those ruled. The concepts of king, nation and family are synonymous in many aspects. In the Spiritual perspective the King is the husband of the family or household with the nation as the wife while the children are the citizenry. In other words the King is married to the nation. The concept of nation carries with it the whole of the citizenry and the territory on which the nation sits and where the citizenry have their inheritance. So when a king is referenced it would also include the nation and citizenry under that king. Likewise in referring to a man as the head of a household or family, it includes his direct family (spouses and children), slaves and bond servants as all these belong to him. National capitals were also used interchangeably with the nations. See also entry: Marriage.

Lamb: In the Passover ceremony and commemoration, JESUS CHRIST is the sacrificial LAMB of GOD to redeem man.

Marriage: The Marriage Covenant is the second most important concept of the Holy Scripture. The physical union of husband and wife in the marriage covenant is a type of the Spiritual union of GOD and the nation that enters into a covenant with GOD to be the people and nation of GOD. The Old Covenant made at Mount Sinai in Horeb between the LORD GOD and the Israelites was a physical Marriage Covenant from a Spiritual context, with the Israelites as a nation the wife in the covenant. Similarly even as the individual man or woman made a commitment to enter into the New Covenant of the Passover, the entire body of these individuals in the Church of GOD is consider as the virgin betrothed to JESUS CHRIST the LORD of the covenant, the Spiritual marriage to take place at CHRIST's Second Advent. Marriage represents the only covenant by which mankind can enter into and become a direct member of the FAMILY of GOD.

Mountain and hill: Kingdom or nation great and small.

Nation: See the entry King.

Sheep: Meekness. Represent personages who obey GOD or are submissive. Generally it was also used to refer to all men (includes women) who had or have covenanted with GOD to accept HIM as GOD. See also entry: Goat.

Sea and water: Nations of men when this refer to a large body of water (Revelation 13:1; 17:1, 15). This is where the term 'sea of humanity' comes from. Water was also used to represent the HOLY SPIRIT of GOD as also was the Tree of Life.

Son or Sons. This word carries not only the concept of one who is begotten as progeny but also as one who obeys of follows after a teacher or leader or master.

Sexual Immorality: See the entry: Harlotry.

Trees: Righteous people of GOD.

Virgin: Undefiled people of GOD individually and more so collectively as the Church of GOD, the affiance bribe of JESUS CHRIST.

Vision: Vision are revelation from GOD given in dreams, in voices, in paranormal signs/events or through an Angel. These may be a literal message or in symbols. As with other Scriptural imageries, symbols in visions are representation of entity concepts or event concepts.

Woman: From a Spiritual context, the nation of GOD (wife) or Church of GOD (betrothed virgin).

Work of The Church of GOD: During the Old Covenant with the nation of Israel as the wife of the LORD GOD of the Old Covenant WHO was born as JESUS CHRIST, the focus of the work of Old Testament nation of GOD was to be an example of GOD's government to reflect GOD's righteous and justice in the teachings, commandments. laws and statutes of GOD as a testimony and witness to the pagan nations of the world (those nations cut of from the knowledge of the true GOD from the time of Nimrob). The New Covenant work of the Church of GOD as the betrothed affiance bribe of JESUS has been to preach the Gospel of the Kingdom which is the message that JESUS CHRIST preached to the Jews during HIS lifetime as a SON of man. This message focus is on JESUS CHRIST's Second Advent, returning from Heaven with all power and authority to restore (re-establish) the Kingdom of GOD to Israel and from there to rule over the nation. See also entry: First Love.

COLORS.

White: Purity or blamelessness.

Purple: Royalty.

Scarlet or crimson: Sin or wickedness.

OTHER NUMBERS.

ONE: GOD (Zechariah 14:9).

Ten: Comprehensiveness and thoroughness.

Twelve: This number and its numerical multiple is representative of the Nation or Government or Kingdom of GOD.

Forty: A symbolic hour usually as that of trial or testing or proofing. Forty years is the equivalent to one hour in the timeframe for the age of man. See also entry under Time concept. The number is not always exact and can varies from forty to forty-three.

There are many other symbols used in the Holy Scriptures. I have only covered those that have greater significant to the main message focus. If you so wish you can conduct your own research for the others symbols used on the internet. Be careful to double check thoroughly with the Holy Scriptures and to avoid those published by the masters and disciples of the Christmas religion and other Antichrist religions, as these would probably be twisted mixing truth with lies to mislead you from getting the true understanding of what is written in the Holy Scriptures.

OTHER CONCEPTS.


Age of Man.

The Age of Man referred to in the Holy Scriptures as this age/world/time or this present age or this present age (Matthew 12:32; 13:40; Mark 10:30; Luke 18:30; 1 Corinthians 1:20; 2:5, 8; 13: 2 Corinthians  4:4; Galatians 1:4; Ephesians 1:21; 6:12; 1 Timothy 6:17). This is the six thousand years allocated to man to go about his own path, cut off for the most part from the true knowledge of the CREATOR GOD. This is for the forever lesson that all of mankind needed to learn, each in his appointed time that left to his own devices he will ultimately go down the path of evil and wicked self expediency. The Age of Man is represented in the weekly cycle by the first six days each day corresponding to a thousand years according to the time frame of seven thousand years that GOD had ordained to make mankind made in HIS Image and Likeness complete and perfect. The Age of Man began with Adam and Eve and will end at JESUS CHRIST's Second Advent.

Blood drink

The counterfeit of the blood of the Passover Covenant (or New Covenant) represented in the wine of the Passover commemoration. This refers to using a counterfeit to represent the blood of the Passover Covenant or the drinking of this symbol to purported commemorate the Passover Covenant on a day and time other than that which was instituted by JESUS before HE was taken by the Jews and delivered to the Roman to be crucified. See also Food sacrificed to idols. 

Called or Named By Their Fruits.

GOD calls or names things as what they are or from what they do, the work they are assigned to do or the role they play in life. A name is but a type of description. You are what you do or what you have become. A tree is judge by its fruits. If you sin than you are a sinner. If you commit or do wickedness then you are wicked. Names when used by GOD then is usually descriptive and definitive of a specific role or some roles that a personage is doing or known by.

Some examples:

1. Abraham means father of many nations, or someone who populates large numbers.

2. Satan means adversary.

3. Adam - man.

4. Israel – to persevere with GOD.

5. Eve - literary life or living, meaning mother to all living.

6. Angel - an emissary or deputy or one tasked/entrusted with a role, a messenger.

7. Sarah – princess or woman of high nobility because of her faithfulness to GOD and to her husband, Abraham. She literally lived (Matthew 4:4) the commandments of GOD calling Abraham, My Lord (master as owner or the one who rules over), exactly as the Scripture of Truth taught (Ephesians 5:22, 3; 1 Peter 3:6).

Similarly the word translated as the English word God or Lord God or Almighty God from the Hebrew text carries the attribute or is definitive carrying the meaning of the words such as ruler, judge, master or owner. See also the entry GOD in this title.

What is in a name? There are many who made the claims to be experts, authorities and event prophets of GOD being rule-based hair-splitters had focus on certain names assigning them as exclusive use in sacredness. The Jews even of this modern still consider erroneously that the word GOD is too sacred to be erased once written so they imagine ways to write about GOD without writing down the word substituting certain vowel with some not alphabetic letter. Then there those who made the claimed to be Christian who holds that Jehovah as the true name of GOD calling themselves by reference of that word. All these rule-based hair-splitters have no notion of concept, context and perspective that GOD uses names to define the characteristic of those named. It is the Spirit (attitude and attribute) that is important not the letters of words in languages. There is not specially Holiness or Sacredness to a name any name except that when we used words (any word) as reference to GOD we should do so with the appropriate reverence and respect. For this same reason in the New Testament records the Greek word for GOD was used instead of the Hebrew of the Old Testament. Likewise too the name JESUS is the Greek equivalent to the Hebrew Joshua (Yeshua). See also entry GOD, LORD, LORD GOD, ALMIGHTY GOD, etc..

Deeds and doctrine of the Nicolaitans (Revelation 2:6, 15).

The celebration purportedly to commemorate some events (such as birthday and baptism) that is purported to relate to JESUS which the Holy Scriptures did not command. 

Doctrine of Balaam (Revelation 2:14).

To sell or to trade away the ‘calling’ of GOD for money or physical material wealth. It is about loving and serving money or material wealth rather than GOD expressed in the willingness to trade the calling or compromise with the calling of GOD for material things. In the book of Revelation this referred to those converted Christians who were accepting payments from the churches of the Antichrist to keep Passover on Easter Sunday and to celebrate Epiphany and other observations such as the celebration of the purported day of JESUS' birth.



Dualism of Types and Types.

Dualism is one of the most important keys in Biblical Prophecies and was used in numerous contexts to help us understand the message of the Christian Bible. Dualism does not necessary mean two instances of the same or similar expression. It means there are types to an expression and the actual expression itself. It is a principle or concept of two or more fulfillment of a Bible event, personality or prophecy, with one being the actual and the rest a type of it or a ‘shadow’ of it, having a similar or parallel context or concept in fulfillment or occurrence. The type is an indicator or pointer or a specific context representation to an actual or main fulfillment. JESUS CHRIST was a type of Adam, the first man (1 Corinthians 15:47).

The Passover instituted during the time when Israelites were enslaved in Egypt was a type of the New Covenant Passover which JESUS CHRIST would later institute with new symbols to represent HIS flesh and blood before HE suffered. JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF being the actual Passover LAMB of GOD. HE was thus the fulfillment of the Passover lambs' type that the were killed as part of the first covenant Passover ceremonial sacrifice, the blood of which on their door post spared the first born of Israel when the Angel killed all the first born of Egypt. The Passover lambs sacrificed annually by the Jews during the Passover commemoration according to the Law of Moses were a shadow or type of which JESUS CHRIST was the substance fulfillment. So the type points to the actual. Types are also expressions for similitude and typicality.  

Some examples of dualism and type in the Bible:

1. JESUS CHRIST as a type of Adam.

2. The ordained Feast celebrated by the ancient nation of Israel and Judah is a type of the Feasts of GOD celebrated by the New Testament Church of GOD. These feasts are also the types to the actual milestone events in a track of GOD's masterplan.

3. The New Testament Church is a type of the Old Testament assembly of GOD, the ancient nation of Israel.

4. The red sea crossing was a type of baptism for the repentant sinner as also was the flood that drowns the antediluvian world.

5. The ancient Israelites coming out of Egypt was a type of the newly converted Christian coming out of sin (repenting). Egypt was here portrayed as a type, for sin.

6. The ancient nations of Israel and Judah were a type of the Elect of GOD today and will be the Elect in the new millennium, the new age of global peace under the rule of JESUS CHRIST.

7. JESUS CHRIST returning to free the modern children of Jacob from their captivities in the nations in the soon coming end of the age is actual fulfillment of which Moses freeing the ancient Israelites from Egypt was a type. The context is that of freedom which in the case of Moses and the Israel was from physical slavery in Egypt whereas the actual fulfillment at JESUS CHRIST Second Advent is that of being free from bondage of sin.

8. John the Baptist was a type of the ‘Elijah who is to come’ to correct GOD’s people by Covenant before the Great and Terrible Day of the LORD (Malachi 4:5 – 6, 1 – 6). The Elijah type context is that of turning the people of GOD back to true worship from their compromised false worship or dabbling with paganism.

9. The enslavement of the ancient Israelites by Egypt is a type of the soon coming captivity of the modern day descendents of the Biblical Patriarch: Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

10. The deliverance from Egyptian's slavery of the ancient Israelites through Moses and their entering in the Old Covenant with GOD is a type of the freeing of the surviving captives of the modern day descendents of these same Israelites (includes the Jews of today) from their captivity when JESUS CHRIST returns. These modern day descendents will then accept and embrace the New Covenant that was made in JESUS CHRIST's blood in the New Testament Passover Everlasting Covenant.

Dualism is one of the many methods GOD used to illustrate HIS message to HIS Elect. It also demonstrated GOD absolute knowledge and control over events that had taken placed and will again take place in the future.

Far from being a contradiction GOD demonstrated through these accounts that the events that took placed in the past were types of what is going to happen at the very End of the Age. That proliferation of false religion, resurrections and wars and particularly the persecution and martyrdom of the Elect happened during and following after the days of the Apostles as a type of a greater actual fulfillment at the very Time of the End.

It happened before as a type so that should make it much easier to understand when it happens again. The Bible recorded it (the prophecy of it) in advance while human historians recorded it after it had occurred. All this should make it easier to believe too. Shouldn't it?

First Love. (Revelation 2:4)

In the New Testament this refers to the work of preaching the Gospel, the focus and message that JESUS came born as SON of man to deliver as the MEDIATOR of the New Covenant. See entry: Work of The Church of GOD. 

GOD, LORD, LORD GOD, ALMIGHTY GOD, etc.

The word translated as GOD comes from several words. A few refers to GOD only while others refer to roles of personages and includes GOD as definitive of HIS role as a ruler or judge or master. Words such as rock or eternal or the EXISTING ONE or I AM are also symbolic representations illustrative of HIS attribute. It is important to understand that common and proper names used in the Holy Scriptures are definitive or descriptive. There is no special sacredness in all the words used to refer to GOD whether in the Old Testament or New Testament. But anyone who uses these word or words to reference GOD should accord the proper respect and decorum when doing so.  The reason this author capitalized (wrote in uppercase) all words he used to refer to the GOD of the Holy Scriptures is to differential these from the general term that others used to reference the deity they believe in and/or worship so that it is clear that this author is referring to the GOD of the Holy Scriptures. See also 'Called or Named By Their Fruits' entry above.

Spirit, spirit and spirit.

There are three concepts conveyed in the word 'spirit. There is the Spirit as in the Spirit in man and animals and also Spirit personages as Angels and the HOLY SPIRIT of GOD. The word spirit is also used to denote attitudes, moods and inclinations.

The King and his people or nation.
The Bible treats the leader and those led as one. See entry above under King.

Things sacrificed to idols (Revelation 2:14, 20).

From a prophetic perspective in the New Testament period this referred to commemorating or observing a counterfeit of the Passover Covenant referring to the bread and the wine of the Passover Covenant being replaced with a different commemoration medium or the claiming of commemorating the same but at different time or in a different manner from that ordained by GOD and instituted by JESUS. 

Time concept.

There are four time concepts in the Holy Scriptures. These are literal time, figurative time, prophetic time and GOD's timeframe for man. In prophecy a day is equated to an earth year while in the timeframe of GOD for the age of man, a day is equated to a thousand earth years. In some illustrative usage and prophecies the reverse of this apply where an earth year is equated to a day. In figurative usage an hour was used to denote a short span of time. The term hour in the original text refers to a certain unit of time and do not always refer to a physical hour of the twenty four hour day.

Time of the End.
The Time of the End is the period of time that leads directly to the End of the Age and encompassed the Great Tribulation, the Day of the LORD and the final climatic Battle of Armageddon. This period of time starts from beginning of the Great Tribulation (Matthew 24:21) stretching through the time when JESUS will return as LORD of Lords and KING of Kings to restore the Kingdom of GOD in the Promise Land to the genealogical descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and also to rewards all HIS Saints who have throughout the life of their calling been faithful in obeying GOD and faithfully keeping the Covenant JESUS instituted with HIS very life made in the blood that HE shed as HE died.

The Most Important Keys To Be Able To Understand The Mystery Of GOD.

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom;
A good understanding have all those who do His commandments.
His praise endures forever.
Psalm 111:10

The secret of the LORD is with those who fear Him,
And He will show them His covenant.
Psalm 25:14

Fearing GOD and performing all HIS commandments (Ecclesiastes 12:13) are the two most important keys to understanding the message of the Bible. As I mentioned earlier GOD is the AUTHOR of the Scripture of Truth and having the right attitude towards HIM to seek and learn from HIM is the main and only way to do so. That is the very reason the masters and disciples of the Christmas religion and all the other Antichrist religion can never understand the message of the Bible. That is also the very reason you are reading all this here today.

The primary key to understand the message of the Holy Scriptures and Gospel of the Kingdom is in the word relationship. This described the proper attitudes in the conduct of our relationship with GOD which are to obey, to serve, to seek, to cling to, to humble ourselves before and to love unreservedly over and above our own lives. And also the proper attitudes in the conduct of our relationship with our neighbors which are to have genuine caring love for them equal to our care and love for ourselves in that we are to always act in 'good faith' in all our interactions and dealing with them.

The relationship concept in the Holy Scriptures covers the following relationships: GOD with HIS creatures both men and Angels; GOD as KING with HIS subjects in the concept of nationhood of Kingdom; GOD as FATHER, the HEAD of HIS FAMILY; GOD (JESUS) as HUSBAND with HIS covenant wife (in the Old Testament it was wives - the nation of Israel and Judah); GOD as OWNER and LORD MASTER of the FAMILY including the slaves and servants; JESUS as FIRST BORN HEIR and BROTHER to HIS brethrens the Saints, JESUS as LORD of Lords (the resurrected Saints at HIS coming); JESUS as KING of Kings (the resurrected Saints at HIS coming); JESUS as the Betrothed husband of the Church or Congregation of GOD in the New Testament Covenant; JESUS as FRIEND of HIS disciples; etc and etc.


Fully understand all these three keys and applying them with the proper sincere attitudes of love, faith and hope to every commandment and instruction from GOD and you will be able to understand them and why GOD commands them. These same primary keys also provide us a perspective into the events and situations recorded in the Holy Scriptures to understand why they happened. And if you perform or live by all that you understand from these, you will be able to build the appropriate relationship with GOD that is pleasing to HIM.
