Allegories, Allegorical, Allegorized, Allegoric Bible

In Galatians 4 Paul The Apostle reveals both Old/New Testaments are allegorical by saying Abraham's sons Ishmael/Isaac by bondmaid/freewoman mothers Agar/Sarah are allegorized as two covenants (testaments). They are also allegorized as two mountains (Sinai/Sion), even as two cities (Jerusalem below/Jerusalem above). Such old/new things are as a before/after allegorical shew about the results of law/grace being as bondage/freedom, cursed/blessed, even death/life; Since the law given by Moses was a ministration of death but grace and which came by Jesus Christ came to minister life to all who were afflicted by such a bad case of grace + law = life + death = dead end.

So, it's not just prophets of old who spake allegorical things (eg: the day of the LORD is darkness and not light: Amos 5), nor just the plural Psalms of David or the plural Proverbs of Solomon which are allegorical, nor just the parables of Jesus which allegorized things (eg: the field is the world; John the Baptist is Elias), nor just Revelation is the most allegorical book of the Bible; But every biblical writer writes allegorically, to allegorize Law/Grace. In the case of Moses, concerning the allegory of Noah's Ark, we learn the LORD is not God, which is to say LAW is not Grace Us. They do such as stewards of the mysteries of God. For it wouldn't be much of a "mystery" if it weren't allegorized. So to make this learning game of life or death (grace or law: justified or condemned by your own mouth) even more interesting, it's allegorically written; Perhaps even as an allegorical matrix to navigate through, firstly "through Jesus-->Christ" (not Christ --> Jesus) to be "in Christ" (is the end of the law: in him there is no law = no law imputed sin = no death sting) gathering (reconciling) instead of in Jesus scattering (alienating). Then secondly, as going on unto perfection, it's also "through Christ-->God-ward" in order to be reconciled to God (not to two Sons Jesus nor to false/true Christs). For when we're reconciled to God's Grace --> Mercy --> Peace, then no more mediation or intercession is required by the mediator CJ or the intercessor JC.

The Bible wouldn't be any great mystery, nor any controversy; Not much of a challenge to anyone, nor require much study, inquiry, reasoning or thinking by anyone, if it were not all allegorized. Being all allegorical, and so well allegorized, it requires much seek and find on our part, lots of "take heed", even "give more earnest heed" to find allegorical clues required to solve the mystery.

In Galatians Paul reveals scriptures "written aforetime for our learning" (Roman 15:4) are allegoric. He does so in context with the theme of Galatians 4: "the heir, as long as he is a child (of child/man in 1Corinthians 13:11), differeth nothing from a servant (a know not who has to be 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.

Allegory that's mystery to solve can have some tricky wording not easily seen at first glance. For example in Galatians 4 the second part of "we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free" does not make mention of children. Also in 1Peter 1:23, concerning born again, the second part of "not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible" does not make mention of seed. Selah to all the children who are prideful of being the seed of Abraham and the seed of David.

The allegorical thing that most people miss, and thereby get duped, is all the mirrored phrases, such as "will I" instead of I will, and "shall all" instead of all shall, and "am I" instead of I am. Such are law phrases, which are questionable and uncertain. Grace phrases are statements that are certain.

Paul also speaks of such things are an allegory in context with: "ye that desire to be under the law (under tudors and governors, especially the schoolmaster that fails every student), do ye not hear the law"? Obviously then, the law allegorically says something, especially to the 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 turn, back to law), for they bite and devour one another. Like a rabid dog, they're vengeful, easily provoked to wrath. Paul's exhortation to Timothy, about all such like, is notably "from such turn away": 2Timothy 3. The 1998 TV Movie: Merlin portrays "from such turn away" well at the end, where the real magic is: the whole kingdom turns away from evil Mame (aka Law), and when Law (both good and evil) is not given any acknowledgment nor place, then it vanishes. So Paul says of the law, what is old, faulty, and ready to vanish: Heb 8:13, shall vanish: 1Cor 13:8. For law had an expiry date (fulness of the time for law of a law/grace shew) which expired long ago. Galatians 4 notes God did not send his Son until the expiry date for the law part (their part) of the law/grace (before/after; first/second; old/new; put off/put on) shew expired.

What 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, of such plural and contrary scriptures, saith: cast out the bondwoman (law) and her son (result of law: sin and 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 Ephesians 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 such dead end law.
