Allegories Allegorically Allegorize
Abraham
had two sons: one by a bondmaid, one by a
freewoman
These [two mother &
son scenarios]
are the two covenants
"Which things are an allegory"
(Holy Bible -
New Testament - Galatians 4)
Paul The Apostle, in
Galatians 4, reveals both Old & New Testaments are allegorical if
Ishmael/Isaac and their bondmaid/freewoman mothers Agar/Sarah are
allegorized as two covenants (testaments), and as two mtns
(Sinai/Sion), also as two cities (Jerusalem below/Jerusalem above), and
such old/new things are a before/after allegory about the results of
law/grace being curse/bless, sick/well, death/life, since the law given
by Moses was a ministration of death and grace which came by Jesus
Christ came to bring life to all previously dying from a bad case of
grace + law = bless + curse = life + death = a dead end.
So, it's not just prophets of old who take up a parable and speak
allegoric things, nor just the proverbs of Solomon which are
allegorical, nor only Jesus who allegorized things in parables, but
every writer of the Bible writes allegorically, doth allegorize, as a
faithful steward of the mysteries of God.
For the Holy Bible wouldn't be any great mystery, nor any controversy,
nor much of a challenge to anyone, nor require much study of inquiry or
reasoning or thinking by anyone, if it were not allegorized. So being
an allegory, and so well allegorized, it requires much "take heed" to
catch all the allegorical clues.
In Galatians 4 Paul reveals scriptures
"written aforetime for our learning"
(Rom 15:4) are allegoric. He does so in context with the theme of Gal
4: "the heir, as long as he is a child
(of child/man in 1Cor 13:11), differeth nothing from a servant (gets
told what to Do-teronomy & Don't-eronomy by others)".
Galatians 4 also has a conclusion: "we are not children
of the bondwoman (this Agar is Mt Sinai: law), but of the free (that
Sarah is Mt Sion: grace); Point being we're not to remain children (childish,
ignorant, foolish, devilish) in bondage to law, imputing
sin for the hell of
it, playing the blame game which inducts all in a hALL of shame. Rather
we're to be perfect, the perfect man kind God said let us make, the Christ of Jesus => Christ: the end of the law.
Paul also speaks of such things are an allegory in context with: "ye
that desire to be under the
law (under tudors and governors), do ye not hear the law"?
Obviously then, the law allegorically says something, especially to
churches, especially bewitched churches so carnal they
desire to be under the law, which converted Peter likens to a dog
(reverse of god) returned to his vomit (law). So Paul forewarns: beware
of dogs (people who return to law), for they bite, and like a rabid
dog, they're vengeful, easily provoked to wrath. Paul's
exhortation to Timothy, about such like, is "from such turn away".
What(?) then saith the law, to hear? Hidden in the law is the fine
print, the "curse of the law" in good old Do-teronomy &
Don't-eronomy, which basically says if you and yours to a 1,000
generations (allegory: 40,000 yrs) do not keep all the law all the time
(which is a mission impossible) then you're all accursed with the curse
of the law: death, and shall surely die.
In short, law was a schoolmaster which failed every student, so that
we'd all see (as being evident by the
evidence),
that grace is sufficient (no law req'd), and grow up unto the perfect
man kind, the Christ of Jesus
Christ: the end of the law; So none perish
instead of all perish from a bad case of life + death = dead end, for
grace + law is as good + evil, saved + destroyed (Jude 5), an oxyMORON witch ends BAD for all (not some only)
since "there is no respect of persons with God" and "a little leaven
leaveneth the whole lump".
As noted by both Jesus Christ and James, if you breach any law, it's as
if all the law written in stone (10) and ink (over 600 more) is
breached. There are no pardonable sins nor is there any mercy in
biblical
law. It's the death penalty for all if any fail to keep it all. But who
even knows all the law. Most pastors and priests can't even quote the
ten commandments etched in stone, let alone over 600 inked laws, not to
mention civic laws of their city, federal laws of their nation, and
international laws of groups of nations. So it's a mission impossible
to keep all the law all the time. None can. Even if any could it
wouldn't make any righteous or perfect, but would make all unrighteous,
since all are considered one, a collective whole, and there is no
respect of persons with God. Under law all are sinners, none are
righteous. And the sting of sin, via the source and strength of sin:
law, is death, to all, which is non existence.
So, let's look at the many biblical allegories and learn
the allegorical lessons from such things are an allegory, the overall
moral being "grace is sufficient".
Bible
Allegories of Galatians 4 explained:
- two sons of Abraham and their mothers are two
covenants
(testaments)
- this Agar is
Mt Sinai: law, so that Sarah
is Mt Sion: grace (of two
mtns)
- Jerusalem below (mother of them) is in bondage (law) with her children
- Jerusalem above
(which is the mother of us
all) is free (grace)
- the script-u-are saith:
cast out the bondowman (law) & her son (death), point being to cast
out both the law and the result of the law: sin & death
- we are not children
of the bondwoman (law), but of the
free (grace)
Other
Biblical Allegories With Similar Moral Lessons:
- allegory of Jonah's great
fish story; the moral thereof being "they that observe lying
vanities (laws) forsake their own mercy (grace)"
- allegory of Noah's Ark (Gen
6 - 8); moral thereof being God (Grace) never called
anything unclean nor required a sacrifice (Ps 40:6; Hos 6:6), and took
no pleasure in sacrifice (death) which is of the law (Heb 10). Noah,
who did both all God commanded + all the LORD commanded (allegorically
grace + law), is later found in the hALL of shame (Heb 11), which notes
these all died and rec'd not the promise... obviously an oops.
- allegory of double (first) and singular (last) "amen",
the first mention of "Amen" in Numbers being a doublemindead
"Amen, amen" of the woman (church) to being (both) blessed + cursed
(bad ending). Thank God the last "Amen" in Revelation is singular, such
a last trump
it is played by "his
angel", and "Amen" goes only to his "grace" with you all; For
thereby it makes previous amens (to err) null & void in the same
manner a last will & testament makes the first will & testament
void. Yet both reviewed during probate, til one of twain decisively the will.
- allegory of leaven in Lord's Prayer
(forgive us as we forgive others), making forgiveness a mission
impossible unless we forgive all men all trespasses, which speaks of
abolishing law, since law imputes sin to all.
- allegory of the unpardonable
sin; how & why "God hath forgiven
you", and thereby God hath forgiven all the kingdom of God within "you".
- allegory of two Gods
(law/grace; foolish/wise; false/true; dead/living) this/that Gods, who are opposed about
"them". Of twain, Law imputed sin to them all, but His Grace (the only wise God
of foolish/wise Gods) did not impute sin to
them. As such He is: the "living" God of dead/living Gods, a
"Spirit" of Ghost/Spirit, Love of Fear/Love, and the Merciful One of
Merciless/Merciful Law/Grace: "the God of all grace".
That God (of
this/that Gods allegorically portrayed as law/grace) is light, and in
him there is no darkness at all. In him there is no law, sin, or death.
Selah.
- allegory of Love(God) is not blind as many (deceived
by many) say.
Rather God(Love) saw "good" six times, "very good" the seventh time in
Gen
1... moral: make the tree good (grace) only, as God does, for both good
+ evil
(grace + law: only plausible combo if grace "is", law "added") ends bad
for all. Love(God) is not blind, but rather both sees & declares
the end, from the beginning (Is 46:10), is "good" only, "very good"
when looking a seventh time, which speaks of the seventh [day] being
better (of good/better things) since it has no mention of evening &
morning, but does mention God ended blessed and sanctified (1st), then
God rested.
- allegory of law being a "schoolmaster" (Gal 3) which
failed every student (Rom 9:31; Heb 7:23; Heb 11:13,39; Jude 5), for
law is both source of sin (Rom 4:15; Rom 5:13; Rom 14:23...Gal 3:12)
and
the strength of sin (1Cor 15:56), both a ministration of condemnation
and
death (2Cor 3).
- allegory of the "operation" of God (Col 2:12) being
removal of law in time lest all perish (as cancer removed in
time lest it kill the whole body).
- allegory of (all) the kingdom of God being within
"you" (of ye/you): Luke
17:21, and therefore: God hath forgiven "you" of Ephesiahs 4:32 denotes
God hath forgiven all the kingdom "within you"; you being the perfected
one of twain
(ye/you) in the before/after 1Peter 5:10 scenario
of ye/you, and such perfection being via "the God of all grace".
Hence the "you all" of Revelation 22:21 begins with "you" and applies
to all, just as the word your begins with you and ends with our,
denoting we are all one, a collective whole, brethren all, all
perfected in one: "you".
- allegory of two kingdoms being of two worlds, the
clarity "my kingdom is not of this
world" denoting it's of that
world of this/that
worlds, the second and better world of two allegorically compared
by converted Peter (2Pet 3) being one in which people are not willingly
ignorant
(they do not add "law
worketh wrath" to
"grace is sufficient"). For evidently adding
law to grace is sufficient causes an 'overflow' of polluted and
perverted grace + law (bless + curse, mercy + sacrifice, life
+ death) ending with law, which speaks of the "no escape" sort of
"destruction" in Mt 7:13 & 1Th 5:3, which speaks of "all die": not be, non existence.
- allegory of law having an
expiry date ("fulness of the time" for such) and thereafter being
as food poisoning to all those who still eat it as food for thought;
Converted Peter allegorically saying those returning to law (after the
expiry date of such) are as dogs returned to their vomit (2Pet 2:22).
"When the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son", and
not to condemn (law) the world, no, not this of this/that, but rather
"that": the world through him might be saved (John 3:17).
- allegory of a 1,000 yrs being "as" one day and one day being "as" a 1,000 yrs
(2Pet 3:8). So the six days of Gen 1 are as 6,000 yrs (a 1,000 yrs is
also as yester day when it is past, as a watch in the night: Ps 90:4) and the 1,000 yrs of Rev 20 are as
one day, the one day (Easter) Peter (only man called Satan in Bible)
was jailed and chained in Acts 12.
- allegory of the prophetic third day
(beyond 2,000 AD) of Hosea 6:2 being also the seventh day (when
counting the days) in Jn 1 & 2; and God raising "us" (of them/us)
up in the third day, which is like unto the 7th day wherein God ended
blessed and sanctified, then rested (Gen 2).
- allegory of law not only being the source of sin (Rom
5:13), but also the strength of sin (1Cor 15:56), the strong man to
first bind in order to spoil the house of sin (Mt 12:29; Mk 3:27)...
the reason many preachers fail to establish grace,
for they don't first let law be the dead testator
of the NT, and thereby such grace + law their end is according to their
grace + law works(plural): grace + law = life + death = a dead end.
Such is like the temporal salvation of all those in Jude 5: saved +
destroyed = bad ending.
- allegory of two laws (law
law) being in the midst of Romans (Rom 8),
but no law in
the conclusion of Romans (Rom 16), just as the last of seven Amens in Romans
goes to God only
wise (of foolish/wise Gods); Similar to two Gods being
in the
midst of seven last
utterances and other Menorah
Sevens, but no law in
the end where truth is rightly divided to the God of all grace
(no law) as what's best, of good better best,
for all.
- allegory of God being one, of "us" (of them/us), from the
very beginning: with "us", for "us", hath given "us" the victory through Jesus => Christ in
such a them/us twain
shew, a two part shew
about a third part drawn away by the tail of a dragon, but eventually reconciled unto God
who will have
mercy and not sacrifice, both all men saved and
aware of what they're saved from: law (sin & death). Hence
the Lord (now "that Spirit" of this/that spirits of then/now, time
past/last days) is longsuffering to us-ward (not them-ward),
and so that: none perish rather than this: all perish from a bad case
of grace + law = life + death = a dead end. Thank God the Holy Bible
containing Old & New Testaments has no dead end.
