These Gentiles are half-Jew and half-Gentile. Like Samaritans.
Hi Jerry,
God is not a man..
Abraham half Amorite half Hittite. A family tribe. The required amount needed to believe (two walking as one),
Two the one witness God has spoken . . ".Let there be" and it was "God alone good". Two, the creative power used that way through out .
The witness of one no man put death.
A blended, extended family from one. . . He made all that obey the loving commandment . . . call no man on earth Holy Father, Rabbi . One is the invisible head Christ the husband .Yoked with
him our burdens can be lighter
Two or three The minimal requirement for family, tribe or sect
Matthew 18:20 For where
two or
three are gathered together in
my name,
(sola scriptura)
there am
I in the midst of
them.
A blending of families beginning with the first two,
as if one. Husband and wife to represent Christ and the church
Genesis 28:1-3King James Version28 And Isaac called Jacob, and blessed him, and charged him, and said unto him,
Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan.
Jacob deceiver usurper. used .to represent the unredeemed, through his two wives and his two concubines disobeying Isaac above had 12 biological sons; Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Dan, Naphtali, Gad, Asher, Issachar, Zebulun, Joseph and Benjamin. Blending them all as one new creature
Using each tribe to tell his whole story .12 the authority of Gods living word
A description is given in Revaltion 21 of the one bride the wife of Christ. She is made up of 12 tribes as families. . . gates to enter and out as apostles (sent messengers) . That 12 is needed to represent all born again saints the old testament . And together with 12 defense walls of the city 12 apostle again to represent the authority of as
it is written (sola scriptura) the new testament .
Beautiful gospel parable
Revaltion 21: 10-15 And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that
great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, Having the
glory of
God: and
her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal; And had a
wall great and high, and had
twelve gates, and at the gates
twelve angels
(apostles sent messengers)
, and
names written thereon, which are the names of the
twelve tribes of the children of Israel: On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates. And the
wall of the
city had
twelve foundations, and in them the
names of the twelve apostles
(not angels)
of the Lamb. And he that talked with me had a
golden reed to measure (the unknown..

)
the city, and the gates thereof,
and the wall thereof.
