It has been said: every great mystery writer likes to hook his readers as deeply and quickly as possible (a mystery writer). And it seems no great mystery writer has hooked more readers than Moses with "In the beginning God" (as if an eternal God has either a beginning of days or an end of life: NOT!).

It has also been said: humans find a mystery irresistible, it must be solved (Cpt Picard: Star Trek). I find the triple "mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ" (Col 2:2) and other mysteries: of the kingdom of God, of his will, of the gospel, of iniquity, of faith, of godliness, of the seven stars, and of the woman, all irresistible. In due time they shall be known; for as Jesus said: there is nothing hid, which shall not be made manifest (Lk 12:2).

As a mystery revealer: Paul says "this" (they two shall be one "flesh") is a "great" mystery, but I speak of Christ (the end of the law) and the church (Eph 5:32); allegorically that of this/that, the greater of great/greater, the bridegroom and the bride being one "spirit" (1Cor 6: 15-17) whereas Adam and Eve were one flesh; the allegory for flesh being law, spirit being grace. Revelator Paul reveals in 1Cor 15: God is "excepted" (exempt) from putting all things under his feet (putting grace under his feet); for the "crown" of "grace glory" goes upon thy "head": Prov 4. Such things are an "allegory" (Gal 4:24) written as a mystery for "our learning" (Rom 15:4)... written aforetime, to be solved in time.

Yet our learning seems to involve "seek and ye shall find" in such a game of hide and seek. There are clues for seeking, such as "seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness". And there are clues of what to find and why: "find grace to help in time of need". The objective seems to be given by Solomon: "with all thy getting, get understanding" (Prov 4:7).

In the beginning, first part of such, we find only darkness, from a creation of heaven + earth. We also find the God who created such is a pluralized God: Elohyim. And then light appears on the first day, several (millennial) days (Ps 90:4; 2Pet 3:8) before God said let there be lights (plural) after the third day. Both such lights begin as "great" lights, but then one of twain is noted as the "greater" light, and the greater one of twain rules the day (what God called light: allegorically understanding). Light appears, making darkness and light, perhaps allegorically ignorance and understanding.

Of this and that, only "that Light" (that understanding) is "good", for "that God" is light, and in him there is no darkness at all (from the beginning: 1Jn 1). We also find a pluralized God is divided; and thereby darkness and light get divided. For six days we find evening and morning taking their turn, first evening then morning, first darkness then light, perhaps first ignorance then understanding, perhaps first child then man, as if first this then that. Yet all that God saw was "that good" six times; and the seventh time looking in Gen 1, God saw "very good" (better). And on the seventh day there is no mention of evening and morning, for it is the day(light) of God.

I seem to be getting sidetracked. The point is God "divided" (not added) darkness and light into darkness/light, night/day. Likewise in the New Testament we find Jesus, the first part of Jesus Christ, first brought "division": "Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division" (Lk 12:51)... "So there was a division among the people because of him" (Jn 7:43).

He did not mix law and grace as many hypocrites, fools, vipers, and blind guides did; and were called the "child" of "hell" for doing it, also noting one made proselyte by such like was "more" the "child" of "hell" (Mt 23). Why? Grace "is", and law  "added", so the only way they combine (not to mention such is an oxymoron) is grace + law, which is life + death (for law is a ministration of death: 2Cor 3), a dead end, something God will not have, not then, not now, not ever.

So he first brought division of law and grace, divided such grace + law into law/grace for a before/after comparative teaching of this/that: darkness/light, child/man, curse/bless, destruction/life. He taught if you keep any law you have to keep all the law, and any breach of any law is as breaching all the law, which carries the death penalty for all by the curse of the law. He also taught law is a thief which "cometh not" but for to steal, kill, and destroy. He neither obeyed nor disobeyed law, gave it no place other than a counter part in a comparative allegorical before/after teaching, to be done away after.

As with the "divided" beginning of an Old Testament, we also find "division" in the beginning of the New Testament. But it is also noted any person, house, or kingdom divided against itself shall fall to ruin. And as the divided beginning of the Old Testament brought destruction from a flood, and due to willing ignorance; so also "this" gospel (Mt 24:14) of "many" (Mt 24:5) brings the "beginning" of "sorrows", due to willing ignorance and mixing grace + law.

Much like fear is only the "beginning" of wisdom, but love perfected is the end of wisdom, the child part of child/man is only the beginning part. Such childish ghost stories of this gospel only the false part of false/true spirits. For such like is the law part of law/grace, only the shadow part of darkness/light (Heb 10). It's much like "ye" (do err) suffer first, then "you" made perfect after in the before/after scenario of 1Pet 5:10. Ye (pluralized you, the dblemindead who mix grace + law) is the "child"-ish part of child/man in 1Cor 13, the "child" of "hell" part in Mt 23, and the devil-ish cover up part of sin imputed/not imputed Rom 4:7,8; the part witch imputes sin for the "hell" of it, unaware it makes all sinners, none righteous. This part of this/that, is the ignorance part of ignorance/understanding.

Evidently ignorance is not bliss as many ye do err ass u me. Rather it is often Titanic, whereby all suffer and many perish, when a fellow ship presumably unsinkable, having the required number of life boats by law (some, but not sufficient for all aboard), sails full steam ahead in a fog, into an immoveable object, even after being told: "take heed". Therefore (what's it there fore?) we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things we've heard (Heb 2). With all thy getting, get understanding (Prov 4:7). For when understanding is embraced, it results in thy head being crowned with "grace" glory.

Allegorically thy head is Christ: the end of the law, whose head is God: the God of all grace. And perhaps grace is the glory of God all fell short of by adding grace + law instead of dividing law/grace for comparison, for Solomon says grace + law is all vanity and vexation of spirit (Eccl)... as frustrating as a child of hell at the terrible twofold stage, to the God of all grace.
