Hi Steve,

Sorry it took so long to answer; :-[ my point is that we are in the race to finish.
The symbols are there to teach us where from, and how to, or not to do, so
we don't repeat the mistakes of Israel (carnal). We instead are to rest in The
Finished Works of Our Lord And Saviour Jesus Christ; and press on towards The
Prize (Drawing Ever Closer to God) as He Enables us.

We now have The Earnest of The Spirit to Guide and Teach and Correct and
Educate us into The Truths about The Kingdom Of The Heavens. The Things
that were never revealed to The Prophets and those of old; we have been
shown.

I could go on for a month on this but that was my main reason for that post
to answer those questions with those Scriptures. Now for a few Scriptures on
where our focus should be.

Just my understanding at this point.

I Corinthians 9:24:
Know ye not that, they who, in a racecourse, run, all, indeed, run,—but, one, receiveth the prize?
So, be running, that ye may lay hold.

II Corinthians 3: 6-11
6-who also made us qualified helpers of a new covenant, not of a document, but of a Spirit, for the
document kills but the Spirit makes alive.

7-But if the administration of death in writings engraved on stones occurred in glory, so that the sons
of Israel could not gaze upon the face of Moses because of the fading glory of his countenance,

8-how will the administration of the Spirit not be more in glory?

9-For if the administration of condemnation has glory, the administration of righteousness excels much more in glory.

10-For also that which has been glorified, has not been glorified in this regard, because of the glory that transcends.

11For if that which is abolished was through glory, much more that which remains is in glory.

Philippians 3:14:
I press forward toward the goal for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

I Peter 5:10:
Now the God of all grace, the One calling you to His eternal glory in Christ Jesus, you having suffered a little,
He Himself will perfect, confirm, strengthen, establish you .

As far as symbols go; they are only good for pointing to someplace you do not yet know
how to find. Once you find it, the symbol is no longer needed because you have found
what it was pointing to. These Scriptures are here to remind us of what we are to do
and also not to do; if we are to continue into the strait Gate.

In the case of the cross, you may be right.  But, with all humility and respect, I can't agree that all Old Testament symbols are good for nothing once you find what it points to, because the don't only point, they illuminate.

I know that the Tabernacle and the Festivals (which Ray has written about) are filled with all kinds of light, when one looks long and hard enough.  In fact, that light wouldn't be seen until the object the symbol points to is known, but once it's known, the symbols can reveal all kinds of details and wonderful delights that wouldn't be seen otherwise.

Nonetheless, we must all insist on letting Ray be the one to reveal these to Bible-Truths.com, not us on the forums.  George gave plenty of scriptures above that show what can happen when this is done carelessly.  Ray is many (good) things, but not careless.

Steve
