| #8 the intro into understanding created perfection | |

| An impressionist painting; | |
| When viewed up close the intended message of the | |
| picture can be difficult to be understood. Noticed all the facts | |
| are there but it is not clear as to what is being shown. If we | |
| move in closer to look harder at the picture it becomes even | |
| more unclear. Understanding the message of the bible can be like | |
| this. Many people whom proclaim themselves to be teachers of the | |
| word have micro scoped the message to death and have drawn | |
| implications from the tiniest pieces or verses (or in the case | |
| of this picture; one of the pixels) and attempted to show a | |
| piece of the whole message without regards to its place in the | |
| whole picture. I list an example; the lower right pixel is the | |
| same color as the eye of a parrot; going farther I eventually | |
| will tell you of the feathers of that parrot; but is like | |
| picture of a parrot? While it be also be true that the pixel | |
| being talked about here is the same color of the parrots eye; it | |
| has nothing to do with the message that this picture is trying | |
| to convey. When putting a jig-saw puzzle together it helps to | |
| know what the picture is meant to look like; thus we step back | |
| and look at the picture on the box. Like this picture; the | |
| reader may find it helpful to step back from the micro scoping | |
| of the bible verses in order to see the bigger picture and thus | |
| have a better understanding to how the pieces (verses) fit | |
| together. Far enough back that we use a telescope to see the | |
| picture all at once so that we may understand better when we | |
| again microscope its pieces. | |

| Now our view of the same picture is quite different than we | |
| first thought. Now we see objects in the picture that can be | |
| discussed and even microscope them further but with the | |
| knowledge as to what the bigger picture is. In this picture we | |
| see an oyster; sitting on the sands of the seashore. Inside the | |
| oyster there is a pearl. The oyster opens upwards towards | |
| heaven. There is a radiance coming out of the oyster surrounding | |
| the pearl that extends towards the heavens. The path of this | |
| radiance leaves the land reflects upon the water as it travels | |
| towards the heavens above. To reach the heavens above it will | |
| have to pass through the clouds of the sky. I ask the reader to | |
| think of what is behind the sand out of the picture. If the | |
| picture allowed us to move back from the sand (left) would we | |
| not come to the land beyond the sand? And cannot we say the land | |
| exists in the water and protrudes out from it? With this in mind | |
| let us again microscope some of the verses contained within the | |
| bible to see if we can understand both this painting as well as | |
| the biblical message it portrays. | |

| does order matter? | |
| if we turn to the tables of contexts of the bible we see the | |
| books are laid out to us by catorgory. | |
| In the Old Testament these catogories are ... | |
| Pentateuch or the Five Books of Moses | |
| Historical books | |
| Wisdom books | |
| Major prophets | |
| Twelve Minor Prophets | |
| BUT ARE THESE THE INTENDED ORDER? | |
| SEE JANE RUN | |
| SEE;we are to look at | |
| JANE; Jane does the work | |
| RUN; Jane does the running | |
| BUT IF WE SAY | |
| JANE;here we are speaking to jane ; rather than us being spoken | |
| to | |
| RUN; Jane is still the one running | |
| SEE; but now ; Jane is the one looking | |
| OR IF WE SAY | |
| RUN;here we are doing the running | |
| SEE;while we still are the looking | |
| JANE; but Jane is doing nothing | |
| THESE THREE SENERIOS are like what we see in the order of the | |
| books of the bible. | |
| IF; {and it is } the story to mankind being told by God; | |
| THEN; should we not use his order ? The order in which he (God) | |
| presented the story to us? | |
| [b]"CRONOLOGICAL"[/b] | |
| LOOK AT DANIEL ; chapter one ; and Daniel is going into | |
| captivity o the southern kingdom. | |
| BUT THE VERY NEXT BOOK ; HOSEA ; is speaking of a time which | |
| will lead the northern kingdom into divorce and thier captivity | |
| long before the captivity of the southern kingdom | |
| These books are out of order ; making seeing the intended | |
| message harder than it needs to be ! | |
| TURN TO MATTHEW ONE verses one to six | |
| and we see the listing of four women with the words whose mother | |
| was | |
| the question i propose here is when are these women brought into | |
| the story? | |
| As we look at these four women we should take note that each of | |
| these is from a diferent time period. | |
| TAMAR is seen in the time period of GENESIS POST-FLOOD | |
| RAHAB is seen in the time period of JOURNEY TO THE PROMISED LAND | |
| RUTH is seen in the time period of JUDGES | |
| BATHSHEBA is seen in the time period of DAVID; THE KING | |
| =================== | |
| With TAMAR being in theime period of GENESIS POST-FLOOD | |
| THEN ; we must also have a time period of GENESIS PRE-FLOOD | |
| AND WITH no more women being mentioned until we get to MARY | |
| then we must ask | |
| what do we call this time period between these four women and | |
| MARY? | |
| BATHSHEBA being the last in the list of four also lives in the | |
| time period of something new | |
| THAT SOMETHING NEW IS SAMUEL a prophet | |
| FOR BEFORE SAMUEL there where no kings and those that GOD was | |
| using to bring his message out to the people where called | |
| JUDGES. BATHSHEBA'S husband DAVID and her son SOLOMON will be | |
| the last kings to have all the tribes united together, for in | |
| the time of SOLOMONS SON the tribes (kingdoms) are split apart. | |
| This spliting apart starts the new time period of PROPHETS AND | |
| CAPTIVITY. | |
| SO WE CAN LOOK AT THE OLD TESTAMENT BOOKS BY THEIR TIME PERIODS | |
| IN THE FOLLOWING ORDER ... | |
| 1- GENESIS PRE-FLOOD | |
| 2- GENESIS POST FLOOD | |
| 3- JOURNEY TO THE PROMISED LAND | |
| 4-TIME OF JUDGES | |
| 5- DAVID; THE KING | |
| 6- PROPHETS AND CAPTIVITY | |
| AS WE LOOK AT THE SEE JANE RUN STORY IN THIS WAY | |
| THE INTENDED MESSAGE HAS BEGUN TO TAKE ROOT | |
| I WILL ATTEMPT TO SHOW THE THEMES OF THIS STORY BELOW | |
| 1- THE PROBLEM | |
| GENESIS PRE-FLOOD | |
| [color=green]THE BOOKS USED HERE ; Genesis ; chapters 1-7 | |
| Here we have creation and the fall of mankind with Adam & Eve at | |
| the tree of knowledge of good and evil. | |
| The sin spoken of here is called [b][i]ORIGINAL SIN and it is | |
| THE PROBLEM | |
| THE PROBLEM IS ; mankind has left the [u][i][b]Family of God | |
| [/u][/i][/b] | |
| ALL OTHER SIN GROWS FROM THIS ORIGINAL SIN ; | |
| many other events and sins will take place in this time period | |
| (Genesis pre-flood) but as seen they all grow from this original | |
| sin and lead to the destruction of the the world ( save NOAH and | |
| his family) at the time of the flood. In crossing through the | |
| flood waters NOAH and his family are saved from this destuction | |
| but as of yet are still left outside the FAMILY OF GOD | |

| the post flood world starts with the problem intact; | |
| mankind is out ofthe family of God | |
| BELOW WE START LOOKING AT THE ISSUES AND LESSONS | |
| THE NEXT PART OF THIS STORY IS JESUS; the Son of Man | |
| and just what he did | |
| where is the story? | |
| what will be required? | |
| how does it work? | |
| what will jesus be at his return ? | |
| ======================= | |
| REMEMBER WHAT THE STORY IS ; IT IS ABOUT FIXING THE PROBLEM; AND | |
| THAT PROBLEM IS MANKIND IS | |
| OUT OF THE FAMILY OF GOD ! | |
| ======================= | |
