The parabolic language of the holy scripture, as it can be read in its direct translation from Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic languages into English in the authorized version of the King James Holy Bible, introduces vocabulary words, which we would assume to understand in its colloquial definition, but, as the Word Of God, being Wisdom and Understanding; the pure words of God; a supreme document of truth above all books and knowledge; of which, through and by that word we learn that the heaven and the earth, and all therein is, was created; we are presented with vocabulary, that has a separate significance and interpretation than the words being spoken and understood outside of the context of the Word of God. — God’s righteousness meaning something altogether divine, purer, and different from the ‘righteousness of a person,’ and the conceptual understanding of that word being connected with God as the source and bequeather of righteousness.
God, laying understanding to his vocabulary through direct explanation, as in when Jesus sais that the “field is the world; ‘the good seed’ are the children of the kingdom, (Matthew 13:38a),” but also adding precepts that ‘ornament’ some Words more than others, as in, when we learn of the ‘fruit of the spirit;’ which are the words, love, peace, joy, faith, meekness, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, and temperance. The precepts, or deeper understandings of the Words of God, happening through the trained readers ‘growing in the Word,’ even the reward of their diligent scholarliness that is the active dynamism of their understanding of the basic principles and of the deeper understandings, (and dark sayings) that we can perceive through the combination of biblically-defined vocabulary words; which are intrinsically and perfectly in a a sort of mathematical balance of meaning, ornamentation, and interpretation as it is used in different contexts across the scripture; which is to say, the basis of the word ‘love’ corresponds perfectly with God’s character and purpose; and fits in perfectly without errancy, or tangent across the Holy Bible as we learn of that word and what God links to it, and what God does not add unto it, from Genesis to Revelation; Moses to John.
If we then read of the word, ‘field,’ as the Lord Jesus defines it as being a picture of the ‘world,’ and then we search where else the word ‘field’ is written, as in, when David and Jonathan spoke in the field when David was evading Saul, we then see that real-life scene and all the instances where the word, ‘field’ is, (and also in reverse, where the word, ‘world’ is, and we can appreciate a greater, more nuanced realization of all the God is saying to us in the scripture. Then we might begin to see some of the genius of God as we expand our understanding beyond the surface reading of the Word of God; for the Lord is the wordsmith, and his Holy Spirit makes his gospel perfect.
But, as the Lord sais, precept must be upon precept that we might, as the Holy Spirit does, perceive what is the width and length, height, and breadth of all that God is saying, and how much more there is in the reading once we see the precision of the Word of God across the Holy Bible. Diligence in etymological biblical word study adds grace to the biblical reader then; the Lord knowing full-well when you read his Word also, and he knows the degree of the preparation of the heart unto meekness, and he knows to the degree that you are seeking greater understanding of God, that you might perhaps increase your confidence as you lean upon his Word with a more sure hope; that we can know God more closely, and that he welcomes it, and is in fact, waiting for us to let him in to our heart and mind, and into all of our life.
Frederick Douglass after the Civil War. He was a devout son of God, and a reader and studier of His Word.
What a thing is this love of learning the profession of the saints, because with God we have a savior of our life, and we learn all things are of God, and his saints shall prevail in all things; God being with them, and they, always seeking to be with God. — The Lord answering our life in all our moments, and as a whole, sending great and marvelous goodness into our life. Insomuch, that we see the answer of his love of us, his treasures, as a life of joy, with this divineness of holy thanksgiving, which is itself a work of proclamation that we have the heart of God, whom is the Sun of Righteousness in us, causing more love, joy, peace, goodness, gentleness, meekness, temperance, and the gracious, godly strength of longsuffering.
God, having called us unto better things as a royal priesthood, is the author and finisher of our faith; his Word and the precepts of understanding of these, through all the scriptural language gospel, giving us ‘wisdom,’ and not that we attain unto mortal longevity, but God having mercy on us, that we rejoice in him, and through him; with the understanding that our joy is because of him, and so therefore, sacrifices of joy as vessels of God in the fulness of our life: as the Lord then, we go from strength to strength, and through the grace of God, and not our own, are we safe in the arms of the Lord.
Abraham Lincoln was just, merciful, clever, divinely meek and gracious; a reader and diligent studier of the Word Of God.
But unto many, the Lord does say, ‘the Word of God is a little bit here and a little bit there; a precept here and a precept there;’ as a piece of gum that can be chewed for awhile; like the morning dew on the field that evaporates before the mid-day sun: the holy scripture being of little effect unto such heart and mind that is not ‘prepared’ with holy meekness, whereas, unto the broken-hearted of God, even those whom have understanding of God and his Word, they perceive the sight and presence of God before them, and they do see that they walked contrary to the eternal and holy Spirit of God in times past, but now, they, and we, realize the value of a quiet spirit before the Lord, whom has called us his inheritance; his treasures, and precious unto him. We are then upon whom his attention is: the Lord’s Word and Spirit working also diligently in the life of those whom love him, and if we love him, we will keep his words close to our heart and fresh on our minds. And if we are no longer strangers to God, we have learn the Word, and of the Spirit of the Word, and we bear greater fruit unto him with a pure language known only to God and the saints, a people whose speech and manner is foreign to this world and they do not comprehend our divine values, nor the ‘new song’ in us.
Therewith, the house of God daily intreats him through learning of his pure language and through the ‘new song’ of divine triumph,
because,
God called you and you opened the door of your heart;
and God spoke with you,
and you opened the understanding of your mind,
that wisdom is from God,
and if so, then you have walked with a measure of holy meekness,
allowing yourself access to the strength of God, in making peace with God:
having set aside the way of Adam and Eve,
whom were not meek unto God,
but allowed themselves to be beguiled with covetousness,
and hardened their hearts to the way of God replenishing and refreshing them with spirit,
they chose the material things of this world,
and that they might have position equal or greater to God;
therefore, they leaned unto the false wisdom of the devil,
becoming subservient to him, and becoming estranged from God.
But they whom remain meek unto God,
to the degree of their meekness will God bless,
and they who further prepare their heart,
searching out all their hardheartedness,
bringing the reading, meditation of,
and putting on of the ‘clothe-covering’ of God’s invisible Holy Spirit,
as we know him in his fulness as his Sun, Christ Jesus the Lord,
unto these, peace from covetousness.
