Sevens Chp 6: Comparative Sevens in the Holy Bible

       Mt Sinai (not come) <--Hebrews 12-->  Mt Sion (come)

1. that might be touched                                1.  city of the living God, heavenly Jerusalem
2. that burned with fire                                   2.  an innumerable company of angels
3. blackness                                                  3.  general assembly: church of firstborn
4. darkness (midst)                                        4. God: the Judge of all (midst)
   
5. tempest                                                     5. spirits of just men: made perfect
6. sound of a trumpet (uncertain)                    6. Jesus: mediator of new covenant
7. voice of words (bless + curse)                   7. blood: that speaketh better things

    So it seems wise (logical) to leave Mt Sinai to come unto Mt Sion,
    and it is indeed wise to leave "them" to come unto "us" of them/us
    when comparing 1Thessalonians 5:3 (them) 1Thessalonians 5:9 (us),
    because God hath provided some better thing for us: Hebrews 1 & 11;
    But every good mystery has a twist to it; And this God is not "that God".
    This God is Judge of the quick and dead; But there are no dead in that God.

    So then, Mt Sinai/Mt Sion comparison is like goats/sheep division in an Olivet Discourse,
    to goats on the left it is said depart (not come), but to the sheep on the right it is said come;
    But such Olivet Discourse is given from atop a graveyard, and over against a doomed temple.
    Pure grace of that God is not divisional, has no partiality, is not a gravc subject, nor against any.

1.  Matthew 21:5   Tell ye the daughter of Sion , Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass.
2.  John 12:15   Fear not, daughter of Sion : behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an ass's colt.
3.  Romans 9:33   As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
4.  Romans 11:26   And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
5.  Hebrews 12:22   But ye are come unto mount Sion , and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels...
6.  1 Peter 2:6   Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.
7.  Revelation 14:1   And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty [and] four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads.

    1. Ye who leave Mt Sinai to come to Mt Sion in Hebrews 12 are still called "ye" (ye do err, greatly err).
       If Sion were the final destination we should arrive at, then it would be you, of ye/you, are come to Sion.
    2. Sion is called the city of the living God, which in Hebrews 10:31 is fearful, a fall, and into plural hands.
       The living God is allegory for the living Law, having both good and evil, both goodness and severity: jeopardy.
    3. There's a stumblingstone laid in Sion to stumble on and fall, from grace to law, as churches of Galatia did.
       The stumblingstone is Jesus, and two problems with Jesus are division (not peace) and partiality (not perfection).
    4. Sion has a mediator (Jesus, of CJ), and in Galatians 3 we're told a mediator is not of one, but God is one.
       When reconciled to God is one, there is neither mediation nor mediator required. So be reconciled to that God.
    5. A Sion bride in Revelation descends (falls) "out of heaven". A True bride ascends (rises) into higher heaven.
       The bride in Revelation 21, the 'arnion' Lamb's wife, is that great city, the whore carried away by the beast (law).
    6. The judgmental God in the midst of Sion is a plural divided God, the God of the dead, not the God of the living.
       The Judge in Hebrews 12 is the unjust Judge in Luke 18: Law, worse than a judge in a police state; not merciful.
    7. Sion blood only speaks better things for us of them/us on high, so it has partiality. Higher God has no partiality.
       Love may be better than hate your enemy; But in true God and His Christ there's no enemies to love and/or hate.
       Furthermore, blood shed of Jesus is sacrifice, which is by the law, and no man is justified by the law (sacrifice).

So it seems those desiring Sion (heavenly Jerusalem) are heavenly minded, but also highminded and double-minded: all ways un-stable: James 1. Such seems to be common among know not law servants who are not friends, and know not what their schoolmaster (law) doeth; Also common among childish adults who should grow up, leave the desire to be in Sion to go on unto perfection that is above and beyond Sion, above the twain of Mt Sinai/Mt Sion and the twain of Zion/Sion, since God is one, not twain nor even one of twain, but one above twain.

Many are duped into thinking the law given at Mt Sinai is the law given by Moses in John 1:17; But it is not. The law given by Moses is in Genesis 2:17, since the woman was in the transgression, and transgression is of the law, and where no law there no transgression. So there had to be a law long before Mt Sinai, where law was added because of the transgression, and not by Moses. So many are told they should only leave the Mt Sinai law, but keep another law (love thy neighbor); And that is how many get in trouble, by keeping any law. By doing so they get removed from the grace of Christ, because Christ is the end of the law, all law written in stone and ink.


    Comparative Sevens in Hebrews
Comparing seven things in Hebrews 4:12              with seven things in Hebrews 7:26
in Hebrews 4:12 Word of God (Grace) is:              Hebrews 7:26 high priest became:
    1. quick                                                                  1. us
    2. powerful                                                             2. holy
    3. sharper than any twoedged sword                       3. harmless
    4. piercing to dividing asunder soul<-->spirit            4. undefiled
    5. and to dividing asunder joints<-->marrow            5. separate from sinners
    6. a discerner of the thoughts of the heart                  6. made (of create/made)
    7. and discerner of the intents of the heart                 7. higher than the heavens

When looking at the word of God being grace, it is notably sharper than any twoedged sword, which is to allegory say smarter than law/law and law/grace division isn't peace nor perfection. Such is also higher than highminded. So Godly grace is not over against anyone, nor a grave subject, nor even a threat, but harmless and above such division and partiality have jeopardy.

- with grace: above: higher: harmless: merciful: peaceful
- under grace: beneath: highminded: jeopardy: under-taker

Hebrews 13:9
- it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace   ... us (higher)
- not with meats which have not profited them occupied therein   ... them
