I agree with you anne  :D

This was beautifully and simplistically stated  ;D

Joe...was wondering if you thought there was

a literal layer in that many layers of treasure?

Anne,

Thank you for the generous and kind words. Here is more of what I have been meditating on recently;

 Zechariah 6


 12And speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, Behold the man whose name is The BRANCH; and he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the temple of the LORD:

 13Even he shall build the temple of the LORD; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and he shall be a priest upon his throne: and the counsel of peace shall be between them both.

 14And the crowns shall be to Helem, and to Tobijah, and to Jedaiah, and to Hen the son of Zephaniah, for a memorial in the temple of the LORD.

 15And they that are far off shall come and build in the temple of the LORD, and ye shall know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto you. And this shall come to pass, if ye will diligently obey the voice of the LORD your God.

I remember those who preached and wrote about looking out for "signs and wonders' would teach that the building of the 3rd Temple would be a sure sign of our Lord's imminent return.

The Spirit of the Lord is, was, & will be building this 3rd Temple in His chosen, He is cleansing and purifying His Temple according to His purpose. To the ultimate glory of God.

His Peace and Wisdom to you,

Joe

Hi Iris,

I see you posted as I was writing my last entry, the short answer to your question is yes.

The Lord uses physical, literal experiences and history to show us greater spiritual truths, "first the physical, then the spiritual." But this is not exclusively true, He also uses parables and symbolic language to spiritually communicate, teach and admonish His people, those that "have ears to hear."

I hope this answered your question.

His Peace and Wisdom to you,

Joe

From "The Lake of Fire" Part XIII;

THERE MUST COME A ‘FALLING AWAY’ FIRST

I have shown you that John, Paul, Peter, ALL of the apostles, the whole church in Asia, the Seven Churches of Revelation, the entire flock of God’s called, all built their houses upon spiritual sand—in other words EVERYONE ever called by God, falls, falls down, falls away.

The Proverb tells us that, "For a just man falls seven times…" That’s a COMPLETE fall. But strange as it may seem, this is necessary in God’s plan. What happens to a just man after he falls seven times? "…and RISES UP AGAIN" (Prov. 24:16). When he completely falls, he falls from grace. But for those whom God is both calling AND choosing, they will RISE UP AGAIN, for

"Who are you that judges another man’s servant? To his own master he stands or falls. Yes, he shall be holden up [made to stand up]: for God is able to MAKE HIM STAND" (Rom. 14:4).

We will ALL FALL! But afterwards, God "raises us UP AGAIN," and "makes us STAND." And from that time onward we have this sure promise of which we read before, but I want to read again:

"Now unto Him that is able to KEEP YOU FROM FALLING, and to present you FAULTLESS before the presence of His glory with EXCEEDING JOY, To the Only Wise God Our Saviour, be glory and majesty, and dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen" (Jude 124-25)!

When John’s spiritual house built upon the sand fell down, he was left, standing on the sand of the sea by himself alone with God, and it is then and only then, that he is able to see the wild beast that came up out of the sea.

This wild beast is further identified in Rev. 13:14 when we are told this

"…beast, which had the wound [deadly wound, Ver. 3] by the sword, and DID LIVE."

Joe
